Chapter 35 Leading Person

In fact, Glenn Oxley had already quietly arrived in Leeds City on October 31, but he was not in a hurry to meet Simon Grayson. He did not even go to meet Wang Tiezhu, but watched Leeds United's home game against Southampton in the stands at Elland Road Stadium. In this game, the "Youth Guards" easily defeated Southampton with a score of 4:1 at home. It seemed that the "2:1 spell" brought to the team by "Shack" was finally completely broken, and the team began to win in a row with a large score. Although Wang Tiezhu did not score the first record for the team this time, he received a pass from Bechio for the team in 77 minutes of the second half, and scored the team's third goal in this game.

The victory of this game allowed Leeds United to win the eleventh straight win of the season, and also squeezed Middlesbrough out of the first place in the standings due to more goals.

However, none of these are the most important. Leeds United fans, who should have cheered for the team's wonderful performance, were all worried after seeing a picture, and even everyone who cared about the "Young Guards" could no longer keep their mood calm.

Glen Oxley, Wang Tiezhu's agent, was sitting with Pellegrini, the coach of La Liga team Malaga, while watching the game in the stands.

The Chilean Pellegrini, nicknamed "Engineer", is also considered a famous coach in European football. He achieved good results in Villarreal and later coached Real Madrid for a year. Although he was fired because he could not meet the requirements of Real Madrid, he made a comeback in the team Malaga. He has even led Malaga, a grassroots team without big-name stars to fifth in the La Liga, and is about to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

At this time, the European leagues were in full swing, and Pellegrini appeared in the stands at Elland Stadium, and sat with Glenn Oxley. This is really worth worrying for everyone who cares about Leeds United. The rumors that Malaga is interested in Wang Tiezhu have been around for more than a day, and now it seems that this is obviously not groundless.

Although Malaga is not a big team, they are a team in the Spanish League One after all, and the financial situation of this team is very healthy. If you squeeze in, they can still get the 8 million pounds of pounds of breach of contract.

The team defeated their opponents 4:1 and reached the top with eleven consecutive victories. Even though he couldn't make Simon Grayson feel happy, he saw Glen Oxley and Pellegrini appear in the stands, he began to get anxious. He didn't even attend the press conference in person after the game, but asked assistant coach Green Snouting to participate. Even if he received a ticket from the FA, he couldn't take care of him. He immediately contacted Glen Oxley, and he really couldn't wait for a moment.

It is rumored that Simon Grayson is an absolute "tactical master" on the green field!

However, only Simon Grayson himself knew that without Wang Tiezhu's existence, his so-called "middleback front" was a joke. In his team, even among the twenty-four teams in the English Champions League, no player could run, grab, score, and fight so hard as he was, and no one could be as fast as he was, endurance as he was, and his football talent and instinct was as excellent as him!

In Simon Grayson's eyes, Wang Tiezhu is a genius with endless potential. Even though he still has various problems, problems and weaknesses, his future is worth looking forward to. Being able to guide such a genius to success is the most fortunate thing for every head coach.

Simon Grayson even had a dream that one day, maybe Wang Tiezhu would lead England to stand on the podium of the World Cup to hold up the highest honorary trophy in football!

If such a genius is not in his own hands, it would be fine. Since he caught up, how could he miss it?

Glen Oxley cooperated to accept the appointment of Simon Grayson. Neither of them went to Simon Grayson's office at Thorpe Arch training base, and met directly in the small cafe outside Elland Road Stadium. Then, after whispering for more than twenty minutes, they took the same car and left.

On that night, Simon Grayson finally had a good night's sleep. He and Glen Oxley had negotiated the conditions for modifying Wang Tiezhu's contract. They just waited for Wang Tiezhu to sign tomorrow and were done. In fact, they only modified the terms of two breach of contract. If the English domestic teams wanted to poach Wang Tiezhu, the breach of contract would reach 30 million pounds, while the amount of breach of contract for foreign teams was increased to 20 million pounds.

Of course, the amendment of the contract terms was not in vain. Simon Grayson paid another signing fee of 1.5 million pounds, which was considered a change of direction to give Wang Tiezhu a salary increase of 1.1 million pounds.

Glenn Oxley is not the kind of inexperienced agent, and will not ruin the future of his players just for immediate interests. Pellegrini is indeed contacted by him to force Wang Tiezhu. The transfer fee of the "engineer" is more than 8 million pounds, but he must first win the consent of the player. For this reason, Wang Tiezhu was given an annual salary of 2 million euros. Considering that Spain's tax policy is only 26%, this is equivalent to providing Wang Tiezhu with an annual salary of 1.3 million pounds after tax.

But Glenn Oxley believes that Wang Tiezhu can only be able to ensure his main position if he stays in the "Youth Guards" and even hopes to become the core of the team. This is the most important thing for an 18-year-old player. Only by laying the foundation for the present can the genius "Shake" reach a higher peak in the future!

Of course, Glenn Oxley would not leave a way out for Wang Tiezhu. If he performs well in the future, there will naturally be a wealthy team that will pay him a £30 million breach of contract.

Wang Tiezhu's re-signation was carried out quietly, so Leeds United fans were not aware of it, and the club did not announce it, and even Wang Tiezhu did not even notify his teammates. Anyway, he had just signed a new contract with the team a few days ago, so there was no need to do it again at this time.

Melissa was very happy for Wang Tiezhu's signing again. After all, Wang Tiezhu's family's foundation has increased by about 800,000 pounds!

On November 5, in the 16th round of the England Champions League, Leeds United challenged Coventry away.

This is also the eleventh game that Wang Tiezhu played for Leeds United. His momentum of scoring 8 goals in six consecutive games was finally stopped, because "Shaq" is no longer a rookie. He has become one of the most threatening people in the English Champions League. Every time Wang Tiezhu gets the ball, or he has two opponents around him defending, and the goal is that the opponent directly adopts foul tactics in one-on-one situations, so although Wang Tiezhu is very active in the whole game, he has not been able to score.

However, Wang Tiezhu's performance is still worthy of every Leeds United fan who came to watch the game away. He completed 1 assist, 2 steals, and 4 headers in the game, and also disrupted the Coventry team's defensive system.

In fact, Wang Tiezhu's performance in this game is the fundamental purpose of Simon Grayson's arrangement of the "back midfielder front" tactics for him. Although he only completed two steals, one of them directly launched an offensive on the spot and gave Snold Grass an assist.

After the game, Wang Tiezhu was asked about the possibility of a "transfer". Wang Tiezhu said simply: "I won't leave Leeds. I transferred from Everton. I was trained here by the youth training director Mr. Chris Sally, and then I was appreciated by the head coach. I have everything I have today, so... please don't doubt my feelings for Leeds. I won't leave the team! Ha, I might as well tell you a secret. Jonny and I have already agreed that we will fight those super teams side by side!"

Seeing that "Shaq" really had no intention of leaving, the media also extinguished the idea of ​​hyping Wang Tiezhu's transfer. After a turn of the trend, the level of the Everton youth training system was declining. They could miss a talented player like "Shaq". What a huge loss this has caused to the Everton team. Everton's youth training coaches should really get out together.

No matter how the media tossed, the "Young Guards" whose team's situation has stabilized continues to make rapid progress, and their performance can be said to be quite good.

However, today's Leeds United not only does not have the same star-studded lineup as before, but also does not have the support of banks at all costs, so the overall strength of the team is still not so strong, especially when the schedule is relatively dense, the team's performance inevitably declines. Just relying on one Wang Tiezhu is definitely not enough to support the entire team to continue to move forward.

By the end of the year, the "Youth Guards" had been left three points by Middlesbrough in the England Champions League standings, but they were still steady in the second place in the standings, with 16 wins, 2 draws, 6 losses and 50 points ahead of the third-ranked West Ham United. This difference is relatively safe.

What made Simon Grayson feel relieved was that Wang Tiezhu has really grown into "one of the leading figures of Leeds United!

The reason why it is said to be "one" is because in addition to the already famous "Shake", the "Youth Guards" also have two very outstanding players, namely Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker.

In 19 games Wang Tiezhu played for Leeds United, he scored 14 goals and had 4 assists, with an average of 3.76 steals per game. It can be said that Simon Grayson's "back midfielder front" has achieved unprecedented success.

It seemed that he was stimulated by Wang Tiezhu, captain Jonny Hausen and vice captain Ben Parker also performed extremely well!

Jonny Hausen scored 2 goals and assisted 5 times, averaging 7.11 points per game. Although Ben Parker did not score, he also had 4 assists. As a fullback, his main job is in defense. Average of 3.71 steals per game is enough to show his contribution in defense.

Now, Leeds United fans have cordially called Wang Tiezhu, Jonny Hausen, and Ben Parker the "Three Leeds Musketeers" to praise them for their origins from Thorpe Arch and their spirit of fighting for the team. I believe that if the team succeeds in the Super League this season, these "Three Musketeers" will definitely become the hero in the hearts of Leeds fans.
