Chapter 36 The Madness of Huddersfield

According to the investigation team, Chen Yi has most likely absconded to England with the money.

As for Coach Wang, his whereabouts are unknown.

Li Yanqing frowned immediately; the situation was somewhat beyond his expectations.

If Chris's personality can be described as that of a nice guy, then Coach Wang is even better. Having worked in that kind of place for twenty years, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's submissive to his lot.

How could these two sides possibly have a conflict?

What exactly did Chen Yi do to push Coach Wang, an honest man, to such an extreme?

Just as Li Yanqing was racking his brains, Chris brought him a few more pieces of news.

Palmer and Choudhury, who were kicked out of Burton Albion, have officially joined Huddersfield Town.

The other side signed more than seven new players through free transfers.

Besides Pamo and Chaudhry, there were four other names on this list that Li Yanqing had seen before.

All of them were names that Raiola provided to him that day!

In addition, a heavyweight star has joined the team: Ruben Castro, a striker who previously played for Real Betis in La Liga.

Although the opponent is 35 years old, he is still a dominant force in the Championship.

This is definitely a signing that is on par with Nasri.

“Where do they get the money?”

"I don't believe Raiola would do charity!"

Li Yanqing found it hard to believe, after all, the other team was at the bottom of the Championship and its financial situation couldn't be much better than Burton Athletic's.

They loaned Nasri for six months for only £800,000 because Manchester City originally wanted to get rid of him for a low price.

But the other party paid a £15 million release clause to sign Castro!

Did they agree to Raiola's exploitative terms?

This was Li Yanqing's first reaction.

But the facts soon told Li Yanqing that the other party must have had a major investor who had invested a large sum of money.

In the following days, they signed striker Menez, who plays for Bordeaux in Ligue 1, and midfielder Baselli, who plays for Torino in Serie A.

The signing method was the same as Castro's: directly paying the breach of contract penalty.

The difference is that these two are both formidable players in their prime!

Baselli's defense is extremely tough, and at only 24 years old, he has secured a starting position in Torino.

Menez, who was also one of the "Four Little Swans of '87" along with Nasri, was still quite strong despite not fully realizing his potential.

This news of Huddersfield's major signing has caused a sensation throughout England.

A Championship club has spent over £50 million during the transfer window!

"Outrageous! That's a foul!"

"Don't they consider the Fiscal Fairness Act?"

"That thing shouldn't be completely worthless yet, right?"

Li Yanqing could not accept this, as it meant that they had gained another formidable opponent on their path to the Premier League.

Aston Villa, a long-established Championship powerhouse, and teams like Stoke City, West Bromwich Albion, and Swansea City, who were relegated from the Premier League, are already very difficult to beat.

Now there's Huddersfield too!

"That stuff is really not much different from waste paper."

Chris shook his head helplessly, thinking about what had happened recently. It seemed that as long as you had money, there were countless ways to circumvent that bill.

Paris Saint-Germain, currently enjoying a period of great success, has spent over 400 million euros on Neymar and Mbappe alone, not to mention the many other star players in their squad, including Thiago Silva, Cavani, Marco Verratti, and Di Maria.

As for Manchester City, there's not much to say; even their bench is only at a mid-table level in the Premier League.

Who dares to say their own accounts can withstand a thorough investigation?

However, one is a top club in Ligue 1, and the other is a top club in the Premier League.

Why would a Championship team spend money so lavishly?

Li Yanqing can only pray that this wave of attention will draw UEFA's attention and prompt them to investigate.

Unfortunately, the hype surrounding Huddersfield's big-spending spree was quickly extinguished after just two days.

This wasn't intentional; rather, it was due to a bigger transfer news story.

Previously, Paris Saint-Germain signed Neymar by paying his release clause, and Barcelona spent a record 160 million euros to sign Liverpool midfielder Coutinho to fill his position.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp used the money to sign striker Mohamed Salah from Roma in an effort to strengthen the squad.

They also signed defender Virgil van Dijk from Southampton for a record-breaking £75 million, setting a new transfer record for the highest price ever paid for a defender.

This bombshell news is clearly more attention-grabbing than Huddersfield.

Li Yanqing is no longer worried about Coach Wang's matter; the domestic investigation team is quite reliable in its work.

Besides, there's nothing he can do but pray that the other party is blessed with good fortune.

The only thing he can change is the game.

"Murphy, you are the team's main attacking threat. Practice shooting after training. If you don't improve your level, I might have to consider switching to a two-striker formation."

"Blakeford! Practice your passing game. At least you should be able to get the ball safely to midfield, right?"

"Quinn! Stop laughing, you have a bigger problem!"

The Burton players had no idea what had happened to their manager.

In short, whenever Li Yanqing had this expression, they knew that their good days were numbered.

Everyone except Nasri was required to do extra training.

There's no other way; since we can't afford to buy new players, we can only mess with the existing ones.

Fortunately, Li Yanqing had the help of the entry panel, and when he saw that their fatigue level reached 30%, he would make them stop training and rest for a day.

On the second day, the fatigue level can be reduced to about 10%, and then you can continue to work hard.

Therefore, even with high-intensity training, no one has ever been injured during training.

This surprised Chris.

He now feels that Li Yanqing is not only good at being a head coach and scout, but he could also do a great job as a full-time physical trainer.

Such high-intensity training not only keeps the players healthy but also allows them to perform normally in matches.

He's an absolute genius!

Moreover, the players were surprisingly obedient.

If they keep training like this, let alone the Championship, they might even be able to avoid relegation if they were promoted to the Premier League right now?

After learning of this idea, Li Yanqing clearly told Chris that he was dreaming.

He just couldn't explain it.

The fatigue value is an attribute that can suddenly spike.

For example, if a player's fatigue level originally only increased by 10% per day, after a month of high-intensity training, it's possible that their fatigue level could increase by 50% in a single day of competition.

Many sudden injuries are like this.

He dared to train the players like that at the end of last season mainly because the season would end in a month, giving them enough time to rest.

This level of training is usually maintained for a maximum of one week, otherwise it will affect normal competition.

Besides, not every player is so obedient.

The team's starting goalkeeper, McLaughlin, seems to have some complaints about him lately...
