Chapter 422 What a pity, replacement at the speed of light!
Shen Hao has no travel plans this summer.
Shen Zhiping had just been born, and Shen Hao planned to accompany Bai Muxin and her son in Leeds. At best, he would take his family around the small country of England.
sunny.
He was looking after Shen Zhiping, who was lying in a stroller and sunbathing on the front lawn of the villa.
After receiving a call from Kompany, he asked the other party to come here according to the address.
Shen Hao now has two residences in Leeds, one is a hotel in Modern City, and the other is here.
Not a secret.
The blind media will still have paparazzi stationed there, but they don't dare to show up in public.
Afraid of being publicly banned by Leeds United.
Kompany, who was on vacation, could take the initiative to come to Shen Hao at this time, so he must have an interview with Shen Hao about something important.
Shen Hao had expectations.
If it is for contract extension and salary increase, it will definitely not be the players who come forward.
Most of the time the other party comes here because they want to leave the team.
When Kompany's car drove into the villa, it parked on the empty road outside the garage.
Wearing casual clothes, he saw Shen Hao waving to him after getting out of the car, but a hint of embarrassment appeared on his serious expression.
But he still had to bite the bullet and walk towards Shen Hao.
You’ve come here, so naturally you won’t back down at this time.
When guests came to visit, Li Fen took Shen Zhiping to the backyard to continue basking in the sun.
The family's young nanny from Romania brought tea and a fruit plate and placed them on the pavilion table in the front yard.
Shen Hao stretched out his hand to signal Kompany to sit down, and then he poured Kompany a cup of tea.
Kompany took a sip of tea and looked very worried. When the matter came to a close, it was still difficult to talk about it.
Shen Hao smiled and said, "You want to leave?"
Kompany gave a wry smile.
It cannot be said that Shen Hao has a clever plan.
But after being told the truth, Shen Hao was relieved a lot because of Shen Hao's gentle attitude.
Leeds United have never been a club that stagnated or regressed without someone.
If so, then only without the Leeds Tyrant will the situation take a turn for the worse.
Shen Hao picked up the watermelon cut into long strips and ate it slowly.
"Everyone has his own ambitions. You should know me. I won't block anyone's future, but the situation is a bit delicate now. In addition to our mortal enemies, there is another club. You can't go, at least not directly from Leeds United. Real Madrid .”
Shen Hao seemed to be talking about something insignificant.
He held the title of tyrant for many years.
In fact, his communication with the players is basically gentle and natural.
He can maintain a calm and calm attitude towards matters that many people consider to be urgent matters.
He doesn't do things that would make others angry.
Kompany breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to reject the watermelon offered by Shen Hao, but he couldn't stop Shen Hao's insistence, so he took the tooth and started eating it.
He actually relaxed now.
Without any embarrassment, he opened his heart to communicate with Shen Hao.
Some things do not need to be deliberately beautified, nor do they need to be pretentious.
He knew very well that the young boss could see through his mind at a glance.
The best communication is based on honesty.
"Manchester City gave me too much. I was not tempted by giving me the captaincy, but I was tempted by giving me a weekly salary of 25 pounds. Boss, I know I will be called a Judas by the fans, but I really can't resist the temptation."
Shen Hao nodded slightly when he heard this.
Kaka only received a weekly salary of 15 pounds when he joined Leeds United, and this is already the team's new maximum salary higher than Ronaldinho and Ronaldo.
The rise of Chelsea has pushed the Premier League's maximum salary directly to the level of 10 pounds a week.
Only four or five years have passed, and the rise of Manchester City is about to raise the Premier League's maximum salary to the level of 20 pounds a week.
Manchester City is expanding its army aggressively and attacking from all sides. As long as the stars they like are willing to come, a weekly salary of 20 pounds is not a dream.
Of course, not every player who joins Manchester City can get such a high salary. Although they have a lot of money, they are not stupid.
If you don't give excessive treatment to the stars, it will be impossible to attract them.
Kompany's last contract with Leeds United was only worth £6 a week.
This is a direct fourfold increase.
Even if Leeds United renews his contract, it will only give him a weekly salary of 10 pounds.
Things like treatment cannot be measured by the highest standards.
Instead, use the industry average.
Leeds United's treatment for its players is slightly higher than half the industry average.
Even if you can't say you received special treatment, you won't be poked in the spine by someone who has treated you wrongly.
"The conditions provided by Manchester City are indeed worth it. I can't say that I support you, but I won't let you go because of the transfer. But I still have to say, it's a pity."
Kompany was touched.
The 23-year-old chose Manchester City because he chose money over honor.
Maybe one day he can lead Manchester City as captain, but he knows how difficult it is in the Premier League.
Perhaps when the day comes that he retires from his career, he will still only have the trophies and honors he won at Leeds United in his honor book.
But he did think it through.
He is not the kind of star with extremely high commercial value. Salary accounts for the largest proportion of his annual income.
Playing for Manchester City for five years would earn you as much as you would earn in your entire career at Leeds United...
No ordinary person can refuse this kind of temptation.
In fact, the most important point is that he won three Champions League trophies with Leeds United.
It's easy to feel satisfied.
Although he knows that there will be more honors and more brilliant achievements waiting for him in the next ten years.
But Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and even Modric can get a sponsor's contract equivalent to an annual salary by winning the championship trophy, but he cannot get it as a central defender.
Not to mention jealousy.
The world is like this.
His personal ability has not reached the master level of Nesta and Maldini.
I also want to take advantage of myself to use the gilded sparkle of my championship in exchange for a more lucrative contract.
There is no shame in being greedy.
It's all human.
Based on his heartfelt respect for Shen Hao, he chose to come to the door to reveal his heart instead of letting the agent control everything and appear cold and ruthless when seeing money.
...
The next day.
A testimonial match was held at Elland Road!
Jamie Redknapp announces his retirement.
Leeds United invited some of his old teammates to witness his retirement.
Even Tottenham coach Redknapp was invited to be a guest coach of the visiting team.
Elland Road was packed with people.
Fans in white wore the jersey with Jamie Redknapp's jersey number and held up banners to wish him well.
Shen Hao and the old Redknapp were chatting happily on the sidelines.
Sullivan, De Boer, Redondo, Batistuta, Claudio Lopez, Davis, Stam, Rui Costa, Rivaldo...
Most of the figures who have left a mark with Leeds United are back.
It is not only a blessing for Jamie Redknapp, but also a reunion of old friends.
Returning to their old place, they felt the excitement of the scene. Although the Elland Road Stadium has not changed much, the nearby modern city symbolizes that it is still under rapid construction and development, especially not far from here.
After a year of construction, Leeds United's new stadium has begun to take shape, bringing people great expectations and yearnings.
Jamie Redknapp took his family to deliver his retirement speech to the Leeds United fans after the game and burst into tears on the pitch.
The touching and tender scene made every Leeds United fan feel the same reluctance.
After the retirement game, Shen Hao hosted a dinner with the former Leeds United players and the Redknapp family in Modern City.
Redknapp has already been offered a job as a regular commentator on Sky Sports and a column in a Fleet Street outlet.
He would start a new career in another capacity.
But he will carry the identity of a Leeds United star and legend.
...
Manchester City are busy.
Crazy military expansion in the summer.
Since the end of the Champions League final, Manchester City has launched a crazy bid for Leeds United.
Modric, Deisler, Rakitic, Baines, Thiago Silva, Kompany, Neuer, etc. are all targets they are chasing.
Shen Hao once said that Manchester City has the right to do so.
Indeed, just as Leeds could choose to say no.
Most players were unmoved.
Not seduced away by money-waving Manchester City.
But Kompany chose to leave.
Manchester City gave too much.
That's an irresistible reason to refuse.
Leeds United also cut the knot quickly.
Kompany's transfer was quickly finalized with Manchester City.
5000 million pounds!
A price record that breaks the transfer record for a center back in world football!
This deal caused a sensation in European football!
"Leeds United have given up on their future!"
"Kompany can be the backbone of Leeds United in the next ten years, but now he has made it possible for Manchester City!"
"Leeds United are creating a terrifying opponent for themselves!"
There is no doubt about Kompany's excellence.
The age of 23 also means that he will have a long peak period.
So he is very expensive.
But it’s not expensive enough to keep Manchester City away.
In terms of the simplest puzzle thinking, there are 11 main players.
At least 5000 million pounds buys a position that will not need to be replaced in the next ten years.
Is it expensive?
Think about Robinho. Is Robinho expensive? At over 3500 million pounds, is Robinho expensive?
But now he may not even be able to play as the main player in Manchester City, because he is not trusted, and he cannot see an exciting future in him.
It was less than 12 hours after Leeds United completed the transfer of Kompany.
A new transfer from Leeds United has been officially announced!
"German center back Hummels joins Leeds United from Portimao for a transfer fee of 1500 million euros!"
The world knows Portimão as Leeds United's satellite club in Portugal.
And there is a particularly weird relationship here.
It’s not the father-son relationship between Portimao coach Shen Guoqiang and Shen Hao.
But as the head coach of Portimao, Shen Guoqiang is actually... still a player of Leeds United.
According to Leeds United's official website and the certified contract relationship, Shen Guoqiang is still a Leeds United player with an annual salary of 1 pound!
People speculate that Leeds United either forgot to omit Shen Guoqiang from the first-team squad.
Either Shen Hao did it intentionally to maintain the special relationship of "son coaching father".
Hummels's "blood transfusion" move from Portimão to Leeds United was not without cost.
Porto, Sporting Lisbon, Benfica, and the three major Portuguese Super League clubs all poached Hummels, who was famous in the Portuguese Super League, last summer.
But Hummels was unmoved.
This summer, Porto increased its offer to 2500 million euros.
However, Portimao sent Hummels to Leeds United for a transfer price of 1500 million euros.
In two years, Portimão earned more than 1000 million euros from Hummels.
Questions from the Portuguese media will not shake Portimao's development policy.
Last season Portimão ranked sixth in the league. It is difficult to shake the dominance of the three giants in the Portuguese Super League.
Plus a strong team Braga.
Portimao's results can be said to be basically top-notch.
If you want to reach a higher level, the investment required must at least double the existing basis!
But Portimao's board of directors won't take any chances.
And there is another important factor.
Because Shen Hao also has shares in Portimao.
Therefore, Portimao cannot appear in the Champions League at the same time as Leeds United.
This means that if Portimão qualify for the Champions League in the Portuguese Super League, they must give up.
Therefore, being able to be ranked in the second echelon behind the three giants in the Portuguese Super League is basically the limit of Portimao.
Hummels doesn't care how much transfer money he generates because the transfer money won't go into his pocket.
Therefore, he can remain unmoved by Porto, hoping that one day Shen Hao will be able to fulfill his promise.
He left Bayern Munich to join Portimão as an unknown, but it wasn't like he was going nowhere.
There are better options than Portimao.
But a phone call from Shen Hao made him decide to go to the Portuguese Super League to experience.
Now he finally puts on the white jersey. Although there is no guarantee of being a main force, he also knows that if he wants to have a place in the European hegemony, in addition to staying patient, he also needs to continue to improve himself and prove himself through attitude and performance!
Leeds United almost completed the in and out of the defense in one day.
Although this seems to the outside world to be a weakening of strength.
Shen Hao didn't care.
Kompany's position is taken by Thiago Silva.
The original substitute rotation role of Thiago Silva was replaced by Hummels.
All he needs is time.
He has plenty of resources to spend on his players, he just needs time to digest them.
Jamie Redknapp retires.
Candela went to Portimão on loan to play off his remaining heat.
Leeds United's placement of veteran players in Portimao has been helpful in all aspects.
From combat strength to experience, and Leeds United is also responsible for the players' wages.
Therefore, the Portuguese media is afraid of causing chaos in the world, but fans of Portimão know that the team has grown rapidly from the second-tier league to the upper reaches of the top league in recent years, and it is inseparable from Leeds United's "veteran poverty alleviation" every year.
Of course, they don't know that even the Bender brothers, Perisic and other players who are currently the main players in Portimao's team are the signing plans made for them by Leeds United behind the scenes.
Ma Kai also got his wish and went to Manchester City to earn a generous pension.
Leeds United received a transfer fee of £600 million.
Manchester City's introduction of Ma Kai is more to supplement the strength of the lineup, and will not be as important as Kompany in laying the foundation for an era.
At this moment, Shen Hao received a job application letter...
