Following the unveiling ceremony, Leeds United's transfer activity for this summer window is now complete.
This week.
The entire football world is focused on Leeds United and Lee Shih-kuo.
Everyone is speculating why Manchester United would sell Cristiano Ronaldo. Why did Florentino Pérez suddenly announce that he would give up on signing Ronaldo? And how did Li Shiguang persuade Ronaldo, who dreamed of playing for Real Madrid, to join Leeds United?
Regarding these issues.
Whether it was Li Shiguang, Florentino, or Ferguson, who was occasionally stopped by reporters at the entrance of the Carrington training base, they all remained tight-lipped about the matter and offered no response.
Then, various speculations began to circulate in traditional media and online.
Ultimately, everyone came to a conclusion.
Li Shiguang used Ibrahimovic and Alonso, along with Marcelo, the right-back who performed well at Real Sociedad, to secure Florentino's promise to give up Ronaldo. He then pressured Ferguson by throwing money at him, eventually persuading the money-grubbing Glazer family to relent and let Ferguson's protégé go.
Li Shiguang ignored these rumors.
Although Simone, who loves gossip, often chats with him during training.
But Li Shiguang just smiled and focused his energy on pre-match training.

Once the shockwaves from Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Leeds United had died down, the media began to turn their attention elsewhere.
The transfer dealings for Leeds United have been completed.
But other top clubs on the European continent are still working hard on their rosters for the new season.
Among the Premier League giants.
After sending Cristiano Ronaldo away, Manchester United also sent French striker Saha to Everton, and then announced the signing of Michael Owen from Newcastle for €7 million, with only one year left on his contract.
Liverpool's pursuit of Torres failed, and after extending the loan of Uruguayan striker Suarez to Leeds United for another year, they signed Irish striker Robbie Keane from Tottenham Hotspur for €19 million.
Chelsea can be said to be the most active club among the Premier League's Big Five, second only to Leeds United.
In addition to signing Torres, Mascherano, and Deco, Abramovich also spent €16.2 million to buy defender Bosingwa from Portuguese giants Porto.
Subsequently, Chelsea successively let go of star players such as Shevchenko, Pizarro, Ben Haim, Makelele, Wright-Phillips, and Crespo.
at last.
Wenger's Arsenal still maintains the fine tradition of thrift.
After letting go of Senderos, Gilberto Silva, Hleb, Flamini and Lehmann, they only spent a total of 17 million euros to buy two young midfielders, Ramsey and Nasri, from Cardiff City and Marseille.
certainly.
Besides the BIG5.
Other Premier League teams have also made their own moves.
The most eye-catching one.
Manchester City, which was acquired by oil tycoons, is definitely spending money like crazy in the transfer market, but they are somewhat unable to buy players.
However, the team can only participate in competitions in England next season.
Therefore, Manchester City, which only attracted players with high salaries, did not make a big splash in the transfer market.
The team's most expensive signing was Real Madrid striker Robinho, whom they snatched from Chelsea for 42 million euros.
Secondly, Manchester City also spent €24 million to bring in another Brazilian striker, João Silva, from CSKA Moscow, €17 million to bring back Wright-Phillips and Ben Haim from Chelsea, and finally spent €9 million to bring in Argentine defender Pablo Zabaleta from Espanyol.
Apart from the Premier League, which spends the most during the transfer window.
In Spain, Barcelona sent former FIFA World Player of the Year Ronaldinho and Zambrotta to AC Milan for €33.5 million.
In Serie A.
Mourinho bought Mancini and Quaresma from Roma and Porto respectively.
AC Milan, after letting go of many famous players such as Ronaldo, Gilardino, and Cafu, acquired talented players such as Flamini and Thiago Silva.
As for Bayern Munich, Ribery's €37 million signing made him the most expensive signing in the Bundesliga... and even in the entire Bundesliga.

In the blink of an eye.
August has arrived.
Leeds United's pre-season training camp has been underway for more than ten days.
In just a few days, on August 10th, the new season will kick off with the Community Shield.
This year's Community Shield was also very interesting.
Since Leeds United were the Premier League and FA Cup double champions last season, according to the rules, this year's Community Shield will be contested between Leeds United and Manchester United, the runners-up of the Premier League...
Last season's Premier League and Champions League were contested by these two teams, and in a few days, they will kick off the new season.
That alone is enough to attract attention.
But who knew that just over ten days ago, Li Shiguang pulled another stunt, bringing Manchester United's star player Cristiano Ronaldo to Leeds United.
A newcomer versus an old team.
Lee Time vs. Ferguson.
All these factors combined have raised people's expectations for this Community Shield to the maximum!
Although Li Shih-shih appeared very confident in interviews.
However, Leeds United underwent a major overhaul during this summer transfer window.
Although the team consists of talented players with high basketball IQ, there are still more than a dozen new players joining, and the level of understanding between them and the veteran players still needs to be developed.
