Manchester United's heir apparent, but can't play football.

Chapter 101 Winter Transfer Window (Daily Transitional Story)

With the winter transfer window about to close, news stories are going viral online.

Manchester United's €5370 million bid for Borussia Dortmund center-back Mats Hummels was rejected. Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke stated: "Our asking price is €5000 million. What? Manchester United's offer was several million euros higher? Sorry, I didn't know about this immediately!"

Mats Hummels: Manchester United offered me twice the salary of Borussia Dortmund. Van Gaal and my father were colleagues; he watched me grow up. But Manchester United hesitated between me and another Ligue 1 center-back, which is disrespectful. I will stay at Dortmund and help the team out of its predicament!

Manchester United's €5000 million bid for Roma's versatile midfielder Strootman was rejected; Roma owner Pallotta stated: €9400 million, or no discussion.

Strootman: I suffered a torn cruciate ligament. Mr. Van Gaal kept calling to encourage me. He values ​​me and was willing to take risks for my injury, which touched me deeply. But unfortunately, I'd rather give everything for Roma now.

Van Gaal: I just want to buy some workhorse midfielders and ball-playing center-backs to support Lee in the new season! You overpriced bastards can go to hell!

Former Chelsea player André Schürrle joins Wolfsburg!

Manchester City's €7200 million bid for Wolfsburg midfielder Kevin De Bruyne was rejected. Wolfsburg manager Dietrich said: "We will not sell any players mid-season."

"England's Balotelli, Zaha, dissatisfied with his long-term loan spells at Manchester United, blasts Van Gaal: 'Besides Ronaldo and Messi, I don't think anyone else is better than me.'"

Li Luo folded up stacks of newspapers.

So much has happened during this period; there's just too much information to take in.

simply put.

Manchester United failed to acquire any immediate contributors during the winter transfer window.

Wolfsburg has acquired another former Chelsea player, Schürrle.

范加尔倒不是没有作为，反而很有魄力：1.2亿欧向拜仁报价穆勒；1.9亿欧元向巴萨报价内马尔；5200万欧元向尤文图斯报价比达尔；500万欧向卡昂报价坎特；4500万欧向皇马报价拉莫斯；6500万欧向埃弗顿报价斯通斯
In the end, we didn't buy a single one.

There are many factors at play. Some players love their clubs, some want a central role and the ultimate right to shoot, some want the highest salary in the team, and some are worried that with Van Gaal's personality, they might end up on the bench at Manchester United and waste their careers.

Many people, when looking back on Van Gaal's coaching career, can't help but praise him, saying, "His ability to build a team is unparalleled."

Unfortunately, times have changed.

The players he wanted couldn't be bought.

Another day passed.

Early morning at the Wolfsburg training base.

Li Luo reunited with everyone, hugged them one by one, and then began distributing kangaroo eggs.

"Li, I miss you so much. There's an old Chinese saying that goes, 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder.'"

Who is your teacher of ancient Chinese proverbs?

Bendtner, Maranda, Arnold, and others danced while holding kangaroo testicles and singing "The Song of Li Luo".

"Li Li Li~"

"Our winning bonus, Li Li Li~"

"He got us a new house, a new car, and a new girlfriend!"

"He turned our irritable girlfriends into docile sheep~"

Beep! Beep beep~
The teaching assistant blew the whistle to signal the assembly.

Everyone quickly ran to the sidelines.

Black Gold walked out of the passage with a stern face, then suddenly smiled and led the applause: "Welcome back to our Asian Cup champion, Asian Cup Golden Boot winner, Asian Cup Best Player, and Chinese hero!"

This is the old-fashioned culture of most European clubs, passed down for many, many years. When a player achieves good results for his country, he will be respected by everyone when he returns to the club.

clap clap clap!
The applause lasted for a long time.

"Alright, let's quickly help Li recover!"

Wolfsburg's manager immediately turned serious.

His management style was very strict, especially when dealing with troublemakers like Bendtner.

Beep!
The group-based training match has begun.

The Wolfsburg teammates intentionally slowed down the pace, trying to help Li Luo gradually recover.

After all, the pace and content of the Asian Cup are relatively low; different matches allow players to showcase different abilities. Following that...

As the formation changed, the ball was passed around, and the players ran and clashed, everyone began to be shocked.

De Bruyne received Li Luo's pass, and the instant he stopped the ball, he was taken aback: This power, this precision, it's different now!
Gustavo, wearing a B team training vest, tried to push Li Luo aside with his body. In the usual training matches, he could easily push Li Luo aside with one push. But this time, he suddenly found that he couldn't push him aside. In fact, he was even pushed aside by Li Luo without realizing it.

Li, the Chinese player who is often targeted by tough guys in the Bundesliga and the Europa League, has become rock hard!
How come their core strength has increased so much just by playing in the Asian Cup?

After a while.

Dead ball phase.

Li Luo complained to the teaching assistant.

Bendtner exclaimed in surprise, "I just pinched Knoch's butt really hard, and Lee saw that? He can see such a subtle little action? What's going on?"

"what happened?"

New signing Schürrle, standing on the sidelines warming up, looked puzzled: "You guys don't need to be so surprised, do you? I think it's normal. The Premier League media always compares Lee to Pogba, but he's always been this good."

Everyone stopped talking.

Training together every day allows you to observe the changes in your teammates, just like a married couple sleeping together every night.
Moreover, Li Luo's changes were so obvious.

They were quite certain that Li Luo had gone to play in the Asian Cup and returned to the club much stronger, especially in terms of ball control and core strength.

"Focus on the game! Don't think about anything else!"

Black Gold was yelling and shouting on the sidelines.

He was also surprised: Li Luo's overall athletic ability was far superior to before.

"Could it be that Perrin is a truly great coach?"

"No, it's definitely normal physical development. During the more than one month he spent at the Asian Cup, Li gradually adjusted to a playing style that suited him."

Black Gold shook his head, both pleased and annoyed: "If I had known Li would change so much, why would I have bought that Schürrle guy? I could have just bought another excellent workhorse midfielder to support Li, wouldn't that have been enough?"

Schürrle's lips twitched involuntarily: "Boss, I'm listening here."

Beep! Beep beep~
The group competition has ended.

Li Luo's teammates surrounded him in surprise.

"Did you come back from the Asian Cup final? Or the Champions League final?"

"Can playing in the Asian Cup really improve your skills?"

Li Luo, with an air of self-righteousness, opened his arms wide: "Wolfsburg, your core player is back!"

Everyone laughed.

I didn't care too much.

The stronger Wolfsburg's midfield core becomes, the easier their later matches will be.

Li Luo had a different idea.

Don't dwell on negative possibilities; focus only on positive ones.

This group scrimmage has ended.

I deeply realized:
For him, returning to the club arena allows him to truly unleash and even maximize his macro-level abilities: whether it's his expertise in linking and organizing, constructing space, or breaking through defenses, launching attacks, and controlling the game, he can perform with the ease of a fish swimming in water.

The ball is passed out and can be converted into high-quality balls.

There's no need to fantasize about teleporting.

Teammates are more likely to execute their ideas effectively.

In particular, the "Controller" legend module, which was upgraded during the Asian Cup, can find the space to best exert its value in the Wolfsburg teammates and in the tactical system built by Blackgold.

The power of origin that we fought tooth and nail to obtain in the Asian Cup.

Back at the club, it will unleash even more terrifying power.

A super halo far surpassing anything before!
