After 24 rounds of the English Championship, Leeds United currently have 58 points.
Hull City, ranked second, was upset by Rotherham and Preston, two teams striving to avoid relegation, in the 22nd and 24th rounds respectively, so they currently have 45 points.
, was overtaken by the Wolves.
Brighton, which was originally ranked third, is very miserable. In the last four rounds of the league, it has either been tied by weak teams or lost to strong teams in the same echelon by large scores. It has now been squeezed out of the top six, ranking with 40 points.
Ranked 9th in the league.
At this point, half of the league has been played, and Leeds fans are in ecstasy about the results achieved by Leeds United.
As long as Leeds United continues this form, they will return to England's top league after 13 years.
But as the offers for Mo Yang from various Premier League clubs have been rising, many Leeds fans have fallen into panic, fearing that Mo Yang will leave the team in the winter window.
All Leeds fans know that the reason why the team has achieved such good results this season is inseparable from Mo Yang's silent efforts.
Some fans even calculated that since the start of this season, almost every goal scored was related to Mo Yang, either directly assisting or planning an attack.
How could they not love such an efficient midfielder!
Therefore, a large number of fans gathered and ran to Mo Yang's residence and outside the club to pull up a large number of banners, begging Mo Yang not to leave the team and not abandon them!
This moved Mo Yang very much, and for the first time he began to seriously consider whether he should stay or leave.
There are fans who love him here, a kind manager, and friendly teammates. He feels that staying at Leeds United is also a very good choice.
After Perret came back from France, he immediately noticed that Mo Yang was not in a good mood. When he asked, he found that Mo Yang actually had this idea and scolded Mo Yang to wake him up.
"Yang! In the words of you Chinese, there is no such thing as a banquet that never ends!" Looking at Mo Yang who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, Pere said a Chinese proverb. When Mo Yang didn't respond, he shook his head and sighed.
What he feared most happened. This innocent child was eventually tied up by the fans' emotions. This is absolutely unacceptable.
Even if Leeds United is not able to pay Mo Yang's weekly salary, considering whether Leeds United has the ability to compete for higher-level honors, Perret will never agree to Mo Yang staying at Leeds United.
What determines the value of a professional player?
Fame!
And where does the fame come from?
From the players' own skills, as well as top honors!
And what can you do if you stay at Leeds United?
There is no Champions League, no Europa League, and no Premier League championship. How can we stay and fight for relegation every year?
In Pere's view, this was simply an insult to Mo Yang, and he would never agree to it.
After more than half a year of getting along, the two of them have become friends who talk about everything even though their relationship is between agents and players.
So interests aside, as a friend, Perret does not agree with Mo Yang staying at Leeds United.
"Is there really no way to stay?" Mo Yang looked at Pere and asked unwillingly.
Perret smiled bitterly and said: "Yang, professional football, like other industries, is very realistic. No club will ever talk about emotions. They will always only have interests. As long as the money is enough, it doesn't matter whether you are the core of the team or the spiritual symbol of the club.
, we can sell them all to you!”
After finishing speaking, Pere changed the topic and laughed, "Of course, if you are willing to give up the high salary, you may still stay at Leeds United."
"Really!" Mo Yang looked at Pere instantly, his eyes filled with joy.
The corner of Perre's mouth twitched and he said seductively: "The high salary I'm talking about is not tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands! And there are also top honors such as Premier League championship, Champions League championship, Europa League championship, etc. You don't want it anymore.
?”
Moyang immediately curled his lips and shut up. He slumped down on the sofa, looking like he had accepted his fate!
The pursuit of top honors is the instinct of every professional player, and he is no exception.
Mo Yang is eager to play against high-level teams and compete with top players on the court.
And he has no grudge against money, and there is no high salary. When will his goal of hiring a top personal coaching team be achieved?
Even this house, Moyang, feels a bit small after using it for a while. If you want to buy a bigger one, where will the money come from?
Don’t talk about buying! Just talk about renting. Can you still afford the rent after paying Elena’s salary?
Even if you use the remaining 20,000 yuan in monthly salary to rent a house, wouldn't you be able to eat or live?
Eat a low salary and protect the bridge hole?
After all, he is also a layman, not a saint, and cannot contribute selflessly.
Although he usually doesn't pay much attention to these things, he is not stupid. Adults don't make choices. He wants both.
Seeing that Moyang seemed to have thought things through, Pere breathed a sigh of relief.
…
At the Leeds United training base, Marcelo Bielsa closed the curtains and shut himself in his office.
Although there is tomorrow's match against Hull City on the computer, he can't watch it at all now. His mind is occupied with the conversation he just had with Radrizzani.
Just now, club president Radrizzani officially notified him to start preparing to find a replacement for Moyang after he leaves the team next season.
Hearing what Radrizzani said, he really wanted to flip the table, but at the same time he also understood that Leeds United's salary system really couldn't accommodate Mo Yang.
A player like Mo Yang can be said to have become famous, and his weekly salary cannot be as much as 10,000 to 20,000 pounds.
And once Leeds United gives Mo Yang a high salary, what will happen to the other players?
All salary increases?
It is simply impossible to do so. Then Leeds United's salary system will collapse in an instant, and it will even directly affect the club's operations.
As for the candidate to replace Mo Yang after he leaves, the club already has one ready.
Stuart Dallas is a player Bielsa has been watching for a long time.
He has good speed, excellent interception, excellent physical fitness, balanced left and right feet, very good performance on both offense and defense, and a very good long-range shooting ability.
The most important thing is that he can play multiple positions.
The left and right full-backs were able to play with ease, and the attacking midfielder and back midfielder performed equally well.
He can even make a cameo appearance on the wing. He is a rare multi-functional player.
Therefore, after Mo Yang leaves at the end of this season, if Dallas takes over Mo Yang's position and slowly transfers the core of offense and defense to Phillips, then the team's offense and defense should not experience a cliff-like decline next season.
In fact, Bielsa has already considered his replacement, so he included Dallas in the new 433 tactical lineup.
After this period of training, Bielsa found that Dallas performed pretty well. Although it was far from comparable to Mo Yang, it was still pretty good.
Bielsa lay on the chair, staring at the white ceiling without knowing what he was thinking. After looking at it for more than half an hour, Bielsa put away his messy thoughts and began to think about the next schedule.
After Christmas, Leeds United will face a devilish schedule, with double matches in a row. The competition is very stressful, and almost all of them are strong teams from the first tier of the English Championship.
Even though they are leading by such a high score now, they will fall into the abyss if they are not careful.
And according to the regulations of the Football Association, the English Championship teams will start competing in the third round of the FA Cup on January 9th. Then they will face strong teams from the Premier League, and they may even encounter them.
Those wealthy teams.
Moreover, this intensive schedule can easily lead to excessive fatigue of players, resulting in a large number of injuries. At that time, for a small club with a weak foundation like Leeds United, it will be a fatal disaster.
