On December 2, they defeated Aston Villa 2:1 at home!

On December 6, 1:1 was forced to draw by Lille at home!

On December 9, the home team drew 2:2 with Everton!

In just three games, the Red Rebels' original impregnable steel defense has completely turned into tofu scum, especially after the home draw by Everton, the Red Rebels have fallen to third in the league, while Manchester United has reversed the Red Rebels to the top, Chelsea is second, and Droysden is 2 points behind the Red Rebels, ranking 4th in the league.

What was it that caused the Red Rebels' defenses to become so vulnerable?

Everyone knows very well that the reason comes from the goalkeeper.

Although Mourinho has frequently stood up to defend his players, despite the fact that the Red Rebels have repeatedly expressed their trust in Chris? Taylor, calling on the media to give the England youngster more protection, but it can't hide a fact.

Despite Chris? Taylor has also had a good performance, although he should not be blamed for all the responsibility, but his presence has indeed become the weakest link in the Red Rebels' backline, and he has become a landmine and a hidden danger in the Red Rebels' defensive system.

Isn't the state stable enough is Chris? Taylor's biggest problem is that he can be trusted when he performs well, and he makes mistakes when he performs badly, especially in a key position like goalkeeper, where the slightest mistake can be infinitely magnified.

Now the whole of Europe knows that the Red Rebels are looking for a good goalkeeper, but everyone knows that good goalkeepers are hard to find, and coupled with the competition between them, no one wants to send a good goalkeeper to the Red Rebels.

For example, Manchester City's Given, Chelsea's Koudicini, Liverpool's Dudek, etc., these players who are involved with the Red Rebels will not be able to get along with the Red Rebels in the end.

In addition to these experienced veterans, many of Europe's most famous new goalkeepers have also been linked to the Red Rebels, but who will be the head of the Red Rebels Stadium is still a mystery.

And just when all the media are guessing Akinfeev, guessing Manuel? Neuer and Ugo? When Lloris was in the time, Xiao Yu, Mourinho, Boas and Schmeichel quietly appeared at Bayer Leverkusen.

…………………… Leverkusen is nicknamed the pharmaceutical factory, and the backstage owner Bayer Pharmaceuticals is one of the world's top 500 companies and a pharmaceutical giant, so Leverkusen's home stadium is called Bayer Arena, and the training ground is located next to Bayer Arena.

Leverkusen's results this season are not ideal, and Berbatov has a great impact on the overall combat effectiveness of this team, and the new players cannot play the role of a chic brother, making Leverkusen currently in the league rank lower than the middle, but I believe that with the team's run-in, the results will rebound.

Leverkusen is just a small town near Cologne, because they are all former G14 members, Xiao Yu has a good relationship with Leverkusen's general manager Holzhoyze, and as soon as the other party heard that Xiao Yu was going to come to Leverkusen in person, he immediately sent someone to Cologne to greet him.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao Yu!" Holzhoyze warmly entertained Xiao Yu and his party in the reception room.

He was accompanied by the gray-haired former German national team coach Rudi? Worrall, who became Leverkusen's sporting director last year, is also responsible for Leverkusen's sporting aspects.

Presumably, Holzhoyze himself knows very well that he has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, since Xiao Yu came to Germany to attend the press conference on the establishment of Audi's red card army brand, he suddenly came to Leverkusen, obviously he would not come to chat with him.

Sure enough, after everyone finished greeting each other, as soon as they sat down, Xiao Yu said his intention straight to the point.

"Mr. Holzhoyze, I am coming to Germany this time to attend an Audi business event, and we would like to be able to visit a goalkeeper from your club on site."

Holzhoyze frowned, the current main goalkeeper of Bayer Leverkusen is Hans? Bout, the 32-year-old German goalkeeper is in his best form, and his form has been quite good since the beginning of this season, is Xiao Yu hoping to bring him in?

Others don't know, but Holzhoyze knows very well that the Red Rebels have a high appeal in the player circle, and if Xiao Yu makes a move, I believe that Leverkusen's chances of retaining players are very low.

However, he did agree with Xiao Yu's approach, after all, he was in direct contact with the club, rather than like other clubs, first getting the players privately, and then cooperating with each other to exert pressure, which is also in line with the style of the Red Rebels.

"Mr. Xiao Yu, this ......" Seeing Holzhoyze's frown, Rudy? Worrall took the initiative to clear, "Bout has always been our main goalkeeper, especially now, we are not in good shape, you know, if we let Bout go again, it will be a big loss to our defensive strength. ”

Holzhoyze immediately nodded yes, and then went on to explain a whole lot about how the manager values Bout and how important Bout is to the team, almost missing out on Bout being the most indispensable member of the team.

In fact, Bout is indeed very important to Bayer Leverkusen now, but they will obviously be mistaken, Xiao Yu is not interested in Hans? Bout, but someone else.

"Not Bout?" Worrall was a little surprised.

Is there any other player in his team who can be favored by the Red Rebels?

You know, now the Red Rebels scouting department almost represents authority in the world, and any young player who is valued by the Red Rebels almost represents a genius, and even many club scouts are chasing the Red Rebels' scouts.

If nothing else, just look at Akinfeev, the Red Rebels just sent scouts to inspect the Russian goalkeeper, and as a result, his value immediately soared, attracting the attention of many clubs including Arsenal, Aston Villa, Manchester United and many others.

In Worrall's eyes, if the Red Rebels have their eye on Bayer Leverkusen's players, it means that there is a talented goalkeeper in their club that even the Red Rebels value, who will it be?

Worrall's first thought was second goalkeeper Fernandes, who is currently the main substitute for Bout, who has taken on the team's goalkeeping responsibilities in Bout's absence.

Could it be him?

But just when Worrall thought it was Fernandez, Xiao Yu said a name that surprised them.

"René? Adler! Xiao Yu said the name with a smile.

Holzhoyze's brow furrowed, he certainly couldn't have remembered the player in the team, and he was also a promising star, and although he was about to turn 22, he was still very young for a goalkeeper.

René? Adler's most impressive performance at the World Youth Championships in the Netherlands was his favourite with German youth coach Crouchen, who excelled in the Netherlands and was on the radar of a number of big clubs, including Arsenal, who were missing a goalkeeper at the time.

However, Bayer Leverkusen ultimately decided to keep the young rookie in the team, and Adler himself chose to stay with the team, hoping to make a mark at Bayer Leverkusen before moving to the big clubs when he is more mature.

Bout has been Bayer Leverkusen's first-choice goalkeeper and has been consistent, and Adler has been forced to stay on the bench and wait for his chance, and he has yet to play a single game for Bayer Leverkusen, especially in 2006, when he was hit by a team-mate and broke his ribs during a training session, when Holzhoyze visited him personally.

This injury not only gave Adler four more steel nails in his body, but also allowed him to recuperate for 7 months, and also made the team's second goalkeeper who he worked so hard to come up with, completely falling short, and now he can only be reduced to the team's fourth goalkeeper, silently waiting for an opportunity on the bench.

If there is no Xiao Yu's appearance, Holzhoyze will not notice this young player, because compared to the goalkeeper, it takes 7 or 8 years to get out, which is nothing at all, and almost most of the goalkeepers are boiled out like this.

But now with the intervention of the Red Rebels, the situation is different.

Could it be that he is a genius? Holzhoyzer looked at Worrall with an inquiring look.

The latter is to reply with a "I don't know" look, after all, since Adler returned from injury, he has only been training with the team, and even rarely even played in group combat training, who knows what his state and strength are?

Many of them used to be talented, but after a serious injury, they were completely reduced to mediocrity!

Xiao Yu saw Holzhoyze's apprehension and smiled, "For this young player, our scouts have given a good evaluation, and we are willing to pay a transfer fee of 1 million pounds for him, Mr. Holzhoyze, you think about it!" ”

At the current exchange rate of the pound, £1 million is equivalent to £1.5 million, which is a low level for a young player who has excelled at the World Youth Championships, but it is reasonable for a player who has never played a minute for the first team and has just recovered from a serious injury.

Seriously, Adler is a player recommended by Xiao Yu, originally the coaching staff and the scouting department did not trust him very much, in the list of players made by the Ministry of Commerce, Adler was eliminated because of a serious rib fracture, but when other players encountered difficulties in negotiations, Xiao Yu personally made Adler's transfer.

The reason is simple, Xiao Yu is well aware of Adler's strength and potential, he is a trustworthy goalkeeper, and his style is also very suitable for the current Red Rebels.

However, although Xiao Yu values Adler, it does not mean that he will offer a high price that is difficult for Holzhoyze to refuse, because the other party has not given up on Adler, if Xiao Yu's price is too high at this time, it shows that the Red Rebels are very optimistic about Adler's hole cards, and Holzhoyze is likely to refuse to sell in turn.

On the contrary, as Xiao Yu is now, he has a dismissive attitude, and although he came to negotiate in person, he found an excuse to participate in Audi's business activities, which makes it difficult for Holzhoyze to guess how much the Red Rebels attach importance to this player.

"You can think about it, Mr. Holzhoyze, we Red Rebels are only willing to offer a maximum price of £1 million, no matter how high, we will not agree, after all, this is a good price for a substitute player!" Xiao Yu said it was very certain and non-negotiable.

Holzhoyze listened to the definition of "substitute player" and apparently realised that Xiao Yu valued Adler in order to find a suitable substitute to fill the vacancy of the Red Rebels goalkeeper during Petr Cech's injury.

This also made Holzhoyser put down a big stone in his heart and looked at Worrall, who also felt that it should be a good deal to sell a young player who could not play the main team or even count as a substitute for 1 million pounds.

After seeing Worrall nod in affirmation, Holzhoyze laughed.

"Since Mr. Xiao Yu has said so, then I have no reason to refuse, well, I promised to let Adler transfer to the Red Rebels, but the player is ......"

Xiao Yu immediately promised: "Don't worry, we will solve it ourselves in terms of players!" ”

"That couldn't be better!" Holzhoyze laughed.

After negotiating some details with Holzhoyze, Leverkusen originally wanted to add a clause of £1 million, once Adler left the Red Rebels, Leverkusen could get a 30% share of the transfer profits, but the Red Rebels rejected the offer.

You know, Holzhoyze's calculations are also very shrewd, and he knows very well that once the player has been plated with a layer of gold in the Red Rebels, the price should be more than 1 million pounds, and if this clause is added, once Adler transfers again, Leverkusen will also have a second income.

Provided, of course, that Adler doesn't do too badly!

But Xiao Yu and the Red Rebels buy players, what they don't like the most is these terms, and they don't like a series of installments, he thinks these are too troublesome, the Red Rebels have always paid in cash to buy players, even if it is the acquisition of Beckham, the Red Rebels will also put the money into Manchester United's account as soon as possible.

It is precisely because the Red Rebels require cash to buy and sell players that many European teams are willing to give priority to trading with the Red Rebels.

After negotiating the details of the contract, the £1 million transfer is considered an agreement, and the two sides sign an agreement, and then it will be up to the Red Rebels to communicate and contact the player.

Xiao Yu has a great grasp of this, after all, the Red Rebels still have a great attraction to players.

Since Leverkusen's administrative office is on the floor between the training ground and Bayer Arena, you can also see Leverkusen's training ground from here, but after looking for a while, Xiao Yu did not see Adler.

After Worrall's understanding, he learned that Adler had no competition assignment and had recently gotten a vacation, which should be in Cologne, so Xiao Yu and Boyas rushed to Cologne immediately after getting Adler's home address in Cologne.

Cologne and Bayer Leverkusen are just across the Rhine, no more than 10 miles apart, and they are soon there.

After asking for directions, Xiao Yu quickly found the apartment that Adler rented in Cologne.
