Fully Loaded Squad, Both Wings Soar

"Hello, everyone. I'm your head coach, Flick. I'm very pleased to be working with you all. I hope that in the days ahead, we can all show our very best." Flick addressed the Newcastle players.

Newcastle still did not have a full squad. Even counting the players brought in to make up the numbers, there were only twenty-three of them.

But Flick, having already spoken with Lu Yang beforehand, knew that the team's core starting lineup was not a problem.

"Now, let's have Lu say a few words."

As soon as Flick finished speaking, applause broke out.

Everyone was welcoming Chairman Lu.

You didn't know?

Tang Yuqin was Lu Yang's agent in the Eastern region.

And Lu Yang had been willing to transfer from Real Madrid to Newcastle. Who would believe there was no connection between Newcastle and Lu Yang?

At the very least, no club had ever handed a player such complete authority over transfers.

Even Real Madrid, who had been so desperate to recruit Lu Yang last season that they would have gone through fire and water for him, had only provided him with Alpha and around fifty million in transfer funds.

If Lu Yang had demanded more signings, Real Madrid would not have continued accommodating him.

But Newcastle was different. Newcastle's transfers were almost entirely under Lu Yang's control.

Anyone he approved of, Newcastle had to sign.

Anyone he did not approve of, Newcastle would not take even if they joined for free.

Chairman Mu—no, Chairman Lu—was simply keeping a low profile.

When the gap between you and someone else became so vast that it could never be bridged, you would not feel jealous of them. You would worship them.

The players on this team were either that kind of person, or people Lu Yang had
