Chapter 49: Defiance of the Heavens!

After the Community Shield match with Chelsea, Shaq found Simon Grayson and had a long talk with his mentor...the content was about his playing time this season.

"Boss, do you know that Jonny and I will retire after the season ends?"

"kindness!"

Simon Grayson nodded with a wry smile. He was in a bad mood after knowing this. No one wanted to see his proud disciple retire. Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker were not just his disciples, but also a portrayal of his personal coaching career. From start to success, from success to glory, the retirement of these two people...maybe it a sign that his career will reach its end.

Of course, Simon Grayson knows more clearly that if Shaq has not retired, then his coaching career will not reach the end. However, Shaq is already 35 years old, and he will be 36 years old after half of the season. Even if Shaq is still in good shape, how long can he play?

"Boss, this season... I want to fight!"

"Fight? What to fight?"

Shaq grinned and said, "We were the Champions League champions last season, and this season... we have a chance to become the seven-champion champion!"

"Seven Crowns..."

After hearing this familiar title, Simon Grayson was stunned for a moment. In the past two years, he no longer thought about these things. He knew very well that as Shaq got older, Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker were also heading to the end of their careers. Even Ashley Hood had already declined significantly. It was really difficult for Leeds United to win all the championship awards!

To win the league championship every season is the morale and confidence accumulated by the "Youth Guards" over the past few years. If you really want to talk about overall strength, Leeds United is not as strong as it can sweep all opponents.

Now... I actually want to win the seventh crown!?

Seeing Simon Grayson's hesitation, Shaq laughed and said, "Boss, don't worry. I feel in good shape this season. I will provide the team with enough goals! But in other aspects... I can't do anything about it! I just hope to give my two good brothers Jonny and Ben a gift that will make them happy."

Simon Grayson nodded and laughed, with indescribable confidence in his smile: "Okay, Shaq, since you want to do this, then I will support you. This season we will adjust the team with the goal of the seven-champion championship! We will do our best this time to see how much we can do!"

"Ha, what level? Of course...the seven-crown champion!"

Shaq laughed, turned around and left, leaving only a very confident back...

After watching Shaq leave the office for a while, Simon Grayson laughed, and finally turned into a laugh, and said proudly: "Okay! Since that's the case... let's go crazy together for another season!"

He said "crazy", but in fact Simon Grayson was not crazy at all, and even... he was more rational than before!

A season is very long for a team. Especially for teams like the "Youth Guards", which need to participate in the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup, League Cup, FA Cup and other events, how to allocate the players' physical fitness, make full use of the players' state, so that the team can always maintain strong combat effectiveness and defeat one opponent after another is definitely a big deal.

But...Simon Grayson is no stranger to this!

Not only is he familiar with the "brutal Simon" is also very good at this, otherwise he would not have been able to lead the team to win many championships every season. Implementing a reasonable "rotation system" is the only way to solve the problem, although this requires the team to have strong strength.

But the current "Young Guards" are really not weak, much stronger than ordinary teams!

According to the evaluation of professional media, Leeds United is not only the richest team in the world today, but also the strongest team, the highest player value and the most stars!

In this team, there are currently six people with a net worth of more than 30 million pounds, namely Lens, Hoydenk, Chen Jinlong, Du Xiaoguang, Jace Brookman, and Clegg Richardson.

In addition, there are four people with a net worth between 20 million and 30 million pounds. Goalkeeper Westlake's estimated value is 29.5 million pounds, and he is the number one goalkeeper in the world today, John Allen, Ashley Hood, and the newly-trained left-back Nigel Yebby. His value is over 20 million pounds.

In addition, Colm, Campbell, Dragher and Joe Hicks have a net worth of more than tens of millions of pounds.

As for Shaq, Ben Parker, Jonny Hausen, the famous "Three Leeds Musketeers", the value is not very favorable at the moment. After all, Shaq, the youngest among the three of them, is already 35 years old and is about to turn 36.

With strong strength, of course, it is impossible to guarantee success. The key is that Simon Grayson has absolute control over this team. He is familiar with everyone in this team. These are all his confidants and direct descendants he cultivated. He believes that he can mobilize the enthusiasm and fighting spirit of every player and contribute all their strength to the team.

This season, after making up his mind to give his old brother a perfect retirement gift, Shaq began to crazily break his personal goal record since the Community Shield Cup first game in the new season, and the "Youth Guards" has also entered the "Shaq mode" again. Although the rest of the team also scored more goals, everyone's goals were only equivalent to Shaq's goals.

By the end of the year, Shaq's madness continued. He scored 25 goals in 15 Premier League central defender Leeds United, scored 15 goals in six Champions League group matches, scored 15 goals in two Club World Cup games, and scored 11 goals in the semi-finals against Mexico's Cruz Azur, setting a new record for his personal goal score in a single game!

In addition to the goals in the League Cup, FA Cup and European Super Cup, Shaq played 29 games for Leeds United in half a season, scoring 73 goals in crazily and 14 assists!

Because of Shaq's madness, Leeds United won the three events of the Community Shield Cup, European Super Cup and Club World Cup halfway through the season!

European football is once again shrouded in Shaq's shadow, and media from all over the world are paying attention to Shaq's situation. Originally, many teams were looking forward to rising in the "post-Sakka era", but now... they seem to be going to continue to lie dormant again.

Spain's "Lens" specially posted an article related to Shaq at the end of the year, titled "1908 Goals, Shaq dominates the world football! How far is 2,000 Goals?" This article mainly talks about the fact that after Shaq scored 73 goals in 29 games this season, he has scored 1,581 goals in all the games he played for the club. In addition, he scored 327 goals for the England national team, the total number of goals in his personal career has reached an astonishing 1,908 goals, and this number is far from stopping at present. Judging from Shaq's current efficiency this season, he is actually not far from his 2,000 goals.

The Times of England claimed that although Shaq missed the FIFA Golden Ball Awards this year because of his poor performance in the second half of last season and failed to even enter the top three, Shaq has performed perfectly this season, and his performance is shocking. As a player who is about to turn 36, Shaq's magic is indescribable in words. Apart from looking up, we can no longer describe the achievements he has achieved! European football is still under Shaq's rule!

Although Shaq failed to win any awards at the end of the year, the British did not want their heroes to have any regrets. A "Lifetime Achievement Award" trophy awarded to Shaq by former superstar Beckham himself is enough to show the love of England fans for Shaq.

When Shaq was interviewed, he answered the reporters' questions with a confident smile: "I have not performed well in the past two seasons. Maybe I can't find motivation because I have won too many trophys, but this season is different. My good brother Jonny and I will retire at the end of the season. I hope to give them a perfect farewell gift, so... we have all the championships of this season! Sorry, dear opponents!"

Well!

The reporters were speechless, "Because I won't find the motivation after I won't win too many trophys"?

If someone else said this, they would really dare to squirt. But the person who said this was Shaq. He had already won all the championships and won the Champions League trophy twice. He even won the World Cup. He has always dominated the European Golden Boots and Golden Balls individual awards. In FIFA, he is also the best player in the world for many years. Shaq., who has always won all the FIFA Golden Balls Awards. He... is really qualified to say that!

However, the reporters were convinced, which did not mean that the large group of players in the audience had no objection. They looked at Shaq with hatred and fear...

You old guy is 36 years old, everyone else has retired or is preparing to retire. Even the famous "Captain Leeds" and "World's No. 1 left-back" are preparing to retire. Almost all players of the same era as Shaq have faded out of people's sight, such as Mata, Gansu and others.

Even...even his former teammates who are younger than Shaq have retired!

Like Shaq's teammates at Manchester United, Van Deville, Jose Angel, Gareth Bale, Papadopolos, Rivero, etc.!

But not only did Shaq not retire, you also scored 73 goals in 29 games at the age of 35, averaging 2.5 goals per game. Is this still alive?

It’s not that kind of player who gets more and more demons as he gets older. Like the “Little Fatty” Rooney played until she was 40 years old, but Rooney couldn’t score a goal in two games when she was 35!
