In George Li's office, the TV was playing the highlights of the game the day before yesterday.
"Leeds United immediately took the lead again through a very imaginative throw-in."
"Bell's strong hand throw was passed by his teammates, and the tall Swedish center back Granqvist headed the ball into the goal."
"The header was powerful and the Manchester United goalkeeper was indifferent."
"What also left goalkeeper Foster indifferent was Leeds United's third goal. This goal occurred in the 71st minute of the second half and was another set piece from Leeds United."
"The person who took the set kick was not Baines, who often takes set kicks for Leeds United, nor Bale, who showed his talent for free kicks at Southampton, but the little-known Icelandic midfielder West of Leeds United. Urdsson.”
"Because it was a set piece on the left side of the penalty area, the two left-footed players here at Leeds gave the opportunity to Sigurdsson, who is good at right-footed."
"Sigurdsson did not waste the trust of his two teammates. A high-quality set kick directly broke into the upper left corner of the Manchester United goal. Foster did not make any move."
"Manchester United conceded three goals in the game, and Foster made one save, but it was a lonely save."
George Li was sitting on the desk, with his legs crossed on the desk, talking on the phone with someone.
"Danny, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your son."
Tony Wilson, on the other hand, sat in the seat opposite with a smile, waiting for the call to end.
George Li signaled Wilson to wait a moment, and he immediately ended the call, then continued speaking into the phone.
"You are returning to Ajax this time as the technical director. It has nothing to do with the transfer. Anyway, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your son. Remember to take more care of my son."
"Okay, okay, I'll ask here to make an offer to Ajax right away." Li George pressed his fingers gently on the table, "I know what level he is at. There is no need to train in the A team. Come directly. We at Leeds United, I asked him to come to the first team and the reserve team in turns, and the effect will definitely be better than in the Netherlands."
"Then we'll see you after the season."
George Li put down his phone and looked at Wilson, who had been staring at him and smiling, throwing a pen over.
"You look at me like that and it scares me, Tony."
"What are you afraid of? I'm just interested in your transaction."
"It's settled. We can find his father directly without going to the club or agent."
"I think there is no difference between Ajax and Leeds United's reserve team. Can they still sell the players you like to you?"
"Yes, when I wanted to buy Ibrahimovic, I didn't succeed."
"That's because they don't want to come, that's different." Wilson was still smiling. He liked this kind of transfer where George Li arranged everything, and he only needed to make the final payment.
Moreover, the opposing club basically likes to do deals with Leeds United. After all, Leeds United is now also rich and famous. What's more important is that Leeds United always settles in cash and never in installments.
Wilson took a sip of the coffee in front of him and then said to George Lee: "So I just need to send a pass to Ajax, ask them what the price of Daley Blind is, and then send the money?"
"That's right, you don't have to change a single number."
"What if someone offers 10 million?"
George Li grinned and replied: "I don't think Ajax will be so stupid."
Wilson also started to change the topic at the right time: "Is it true that you don't have a big job next season, George?"
"Yes, due to injuries this season, I have not been able to use the few people I have. I still want to play another season based on this group of players."
"Whatever." After Wilson finished speaking, he was about to stand up and leave. "Anyway, the top management will always support you, you know it."
"Even if I go to play in the UEFA Cup?"
"Even if you are demoted!" Wilson left these words and was about to leave.
When he walked to the door, he suddenly reminded George Li: "Did you tell Chris something good? He seemed to be waiting for you in the conference room when I came."
"Damn, Tony." George Li rushed out of the office and got out of the door first, "I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me."
^^^
"Wow~"
Before arriving at the conference room, George Li heard a burst of exclamation cheers coming from the conference room.
He immediately opened the door and saw a group of people already watching something on the TV.
However, a group of men watching TV will always make people think wrongly.
"George, close the door." These words were spoken by Speed, who was doing as the Romans did.
However, once this sentence is spoken, it becomes easier for people to misunderstand it.
After George Li closed the door, he joined the group of men and started watching the video together.
On the TV, what was being shown was a player wearing a Stoke City jersey, holding a football in his hand, standing on the sideline and preparing to serve a throw-in.
It's just that the ball he threw was farther than the throw-in ball thrown by Bell in the game against Manchester United that day.
The ball was thrown directly into the small penalty area, and his teammate jumped high and headed the ball into the opponent's goal.
"Wow~"
George Li and several others exclaimed together.
Then, George Lee seemed to have forgotten why he came here, and he and several others continued to watch the Stoke City player named "Drap" keep throwing throw-ins like grenades.
Every time they threw one, they exclaimed "Wow~".
Until the end, they were treated to a dozen of these powerful foul balls, all thrown by Delap. Although not every one of them can provide assists, they are all very threatening.
After it was over, everyone stared at Casper.
"Go on, Chris." George Li urged.
"There's no meeting?"
"Why are you having a meeting? Hurry up and let others go. That's the purpose of the meeting."
Kasper then started showing videos of other players assisting on powerful throw-ins.
Li George also saw the novel discovery of powerful throw-ins from the previous game against Manchester United, and was ready to add some throw-in tactics appropriately into the game.
Bell's pass was not arranged by George Lee before the game, but was discussed by several players themselves before the game.
After all, the forward penetration of the two central defenders also surprised Li George below. But when he saw Baynes and Black taking the initiative to stand in the backcourt and start defensive positions, he immediately understood what the players on the field were thinking.
The throw-in should be treated as a free kick.
This also gave Li George the idea of developing foul ball tactics. Today's meeting is for everyone to discuss it, but he needs to look at the tactics of some other teams to find inspiration.
Just when a group of people were watching the highlights, George Li suddenly asked the scouting director Walsh next to him: "Do you have any recommendations for players who have expertise in this area?"
Who knew that Walsh seemed to have been prepared for a long time and opened his mouth: "The Delap just now should be the most powerful, but he is a bit old. If you buy him and let him play, it is better to buy him and give him a foul." Football coach is in the right position.”
"So?" George Li certainly knew that the other party had something to say.
"I took a look a few days ago, and the Nordic teams do have some ideas on foul balls. Their height and strength make it easier to take advantage of this tactic."
"Tell me the key points." George Li couldn't wait to see what players Walsh could recommend.
"After I saw Sigurdsson score that day, I thought that he seemed to have a teammate named Gunnarsson in Iceland U21."
"Gunnasong?" George Li tried hard to remember the name.
"Yes, Aron Gunnarsson."
