Just as Bob had guessed, Leeds United's official website remained updated for the next few days.

On July 1, it was officially announced that Berbatov and Sebastian Deisler had joined Leeds United.

On July 3, it was officially announced that Gareth Bale would be promoted to the first team, while Javi Garcia and Juan Forlán would join Leeds United.

On July 4, it was officially announced that Falcao, Mascherano, and Thiago Silva had joined Leeds United.

On July 5, it was officially announced that Maicon had joined Leeds United.

Of all the signings Li Shiguang made this summer, only Pique, who was left to train in the youth team, has not been officially announced. All the others have been announced on the official website.

As Leeds United's new squad is gradually revealed, fans have split into two camps, engaging in heated debates online.

One side argues that Li Shiguang's decision to build the squad using the same style he employed in the Championship is a mistake, given the significantly higher intensity of the Premier League. A detailed analysis of Li Shiguang's recent transfer list reveals that these players are not only young and unknown, but only Berbatov and Deisler have prior playing time in the top five European leagues. Even compared to other teams, let alone the current Premier League giants, this squad's strength on paper is insufficient.

The other side countered by citing Leeds United's performance after Li Shiguang took over last season. Players like Adebayor, Sneijder, and Tevez only really blossomed after Li Shiguang took over the team, leading them to believe that Li Shiguang has a knack for developing young players.

While both sides were arguing heatedly, giving various examples and explanations,

Li Shiguang is leading his team in their first training session of the 2005-2006 season on the training field.

The players are currently warming up under the guidance of the assistant coach.

Li Shiguang, standing on the sidelines, summoned the system and was carefully examining the club panel and the players' current attributes.

The club panel has undergone significant changes.

[Host]: Li Shiguang

[Clubs Owned]: Leeds United

[Economic Status]: Operating normally

[Team Status]: Positive and Upward

Available Funds: €200,000

[Fixed Skills]: Super Scout (can freely view detailed attributes of any player), Master Coach.

[Skill Pack]: Peak Drogba Template Trial Card (1 month, applicable to any player), Injury Recovery Card x1.

Manchester United's payment for Tevez arrived on July 1st, and Li Shiguang immediately went to the bank to schedule the repayment of the remaining debt. The debt was deposited into the bank account yesterday.

The transfer of several key players earned Li Shiguang 89 million euros. Combined with the more than 30 million euros in the club's accounts, Li Shiguang had more than 130 million euros in his accounts at his richest point.

However, after paying off the debts, spending nearly 40 million euros on transfer fees, and paying June's salaries, they now only have a paltry 200,000 euros left in their accounts.

However, there's no need to worry. The club's ticket revenue for next season will arrive soon. As long as Leeds United's performance remains stable after the Premier League starts, the revenue from jerseys and various merchandise will be enough to maintain the club's normal operations.

In any case, from the moment the debt was paid off, Leeds United embarked on a normal path of development.

It's important to know that in the current Premier League, apart from Chelsea who are spending money to buy players everywhere, even Manchester United is somewhat in debt!

After looking at the club panel, Li Shiguang took a closer look at the player panel and found that the attributes had not changed much from before. After all, everyone had been on vacation for almost a month, and today was his first training session. Without the support of his master-level coaching skills, it was normal for the attribute points to increase more slowly.

When Li Shiguang then saw Deisler's panel, he found that it had changed significantly since he came to Leeds United.

Sebastian Deisler

Age: 25

[Offensive Threat]: 91

[Defensive Strength]: 23

[Body Balance]: 81

[Long-range transmission accuracy]: 95

[Short pass accuracy]: 93

[Shooting Accuracy]: 90

[Disc Accuracy]: 94

[Shooting Technique]: 92

[Speed/Top Speed]: 93/96

[Consciousness]: 96

[Leadership Awareness]: 62

[Injury Resistance]: D-

[Talent]: S

[Current Competition Status]: Poor (Affected by depression and knee injury, all attributes have decreased by 30%)

[Remaining Peak Period]: Peak period has been reached.

[Remaining Contract Term]: 3 years

[Potential]: No potential for further development.

[Player Evaluation]: A highly talented player, hailed as the successor to Lothar Matthäus, Deisler has been favored by top football clubs since his debut at Borussia Mönchengladbach. He possesses incredible speed, exquisite dribbling skills, accurate crosses, and extremely lethal free kicks. Deisler has all the technical qualities to become a genius and is seen as a future leader of German football. Currently, however, he is suffering from a knee injury and depression, resulting in poor form and requiring timely treatment.

[Overall Assessment]: A+ (Downgraded to B- due to depression and knee injury)

In Li Shiguang's memory, Deisler announced his retirement due to a knee injury after the 2006-2007 Bundesliga winter break, but now it seems that his retirement was also affected by depression.

Actually, my original intention in buying him was to make a quick buck, but with the help of the recovery card, it also extended his career.
