The game was a close one, and the game was a close one.

A few minutes later, the two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 1:0.

15 minutes later, Li Shiguang returned to the court. He thought that West Bromwich Albion, which was behind by one goal, would attack in the second half. In the locker room, he specifically told the players to be fast, fierce and accurate when counterattacking.

But who knew that when he returned to the court, Robson gave up the resistance directly. In order not to lose too badly, he chose to withdraw the only striker and replaced him with a defender. All 10 players of West Bromwich Albion stayed in their own half and never crossed the midfield line! Faced with this bus in the bus, the Leeds United players were a little helpless. The score of 1:0 was maintained until the end of the game!

After a three-day break, Leeds United welcomed their first opponent in the FA Cup, Manchester City.

According to the rules of the English Football Association, the FA Cup is divided into eight rounds, and is open to all teams in the top ten leagues in England. The matchups and home and away games are also determined by drawing lots. Leeds United and Manchester City, as Premier League teams, joined in the third round. The two teams were really unlucky. There were seven or eight low-level teams in this round, but they were drawn together.

After being overturned by Leeds United in the last round, Manchester City was holding their breath. In this game, they wanted to regain their ground at the City Stadium. Head coach Pearce seemed to have found inspiration from the match between Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion last week, and he parked a bus right at the start. Facing Manchester City's iron bucket formation, Leeds United has never found a good way. Li Shiguang was ready for a replay. As a result, in the 87th minute of the game, Bale was intercepted by Sun Jihai when he broke through on the left, and then a big foot found Fowler in front. The latter faced Schmeichel alone and calmly kicked the ball into the goal. This goal before the end of the game ended Leeds United's short journey in the FA Cup this season, and also made Li Shiguang's dream of winning the diamond treasure chest come to nothing.

There is no hope for the Premier League championship. After 22 rounds, Chelsea, the top of the list, is 21 points ahead of Leeds United. The only chance to get the diamond treasure chest is the FA Cup. As a result, this dream was indirectly broken by his fellow countryman today!

After the game, Li Shiguang was standing on the sidelines depressed, and suddenly a familiar voice came from the side: "Brother Li!"

Li Shiguang turned his head and saw Sun Jihai standing next to him, looking at him with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face.

Sir, it's not that bad, right? Do you want pig heart for Amomum villosum?

With a little suspicion in his eyes, Li Shiguang asked, "What's the matter, Xiao Sun?"

Sun Jihai scratched the back of his head: "Brother Li, are you going back to Leeds today? I... I want to treat you to a meal."

Huh? Why do you suddenly want to treat me to a meal?

Li Shiguang's mind turned, and suddenly he thought of a possibility. Could it be that this kid wants to come to Leeds United? It's not impossible. Sun Jihai is not bad, and there is a huge market behind him. Once he is introduced, it will be like those giants in the future. In the summer window, the team will be brought to China to play a few friendly matches. It will make a lot of money! ! !

Thinking of this, Li Shiguang leaned his head over and asked Sun Jihai in a low voice: "I know, when?"

Li Shiguang's move made Sun Jihai unable to understand. Brother, I just want to treat you to a meal. What do you know? ! ! !

After a little consideration, Sun Jihai set the time for tomorrow at noon, and the location was a famous Chinese restaurant in Manchester.

After a good sleep in the hotel, at noon the next day, Li Shiguang, who rushed to the door of the restaurant, just got off the car and saw Sun Jihai and another young man with a Chinese face standing at the door. Li Shiguang smiled and said, "Sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time."

Sun Jihai shook his head and said, "We just arrived, brother Li, let me introduce you. This little brother is called Chen Guanhai. He was sent to study in the UK by his father when he was just in junior high school. He is also a super football fan. Knowing that I want to treat you to dinner today, this kid didn't go back to London after watching the game yesterday. He insisted that I bring him to meet you."

After listening to Sun Jihai's introduction, Li Shiguang had some ideas in his mind. In this day and age, being sent to Europe to study in junior high school seems to have something in his family.

Just as Li Shiguang thought, Chen Guanhai is a standard rich second generation,

The family is in the real estate business. In addition to doing business, the father also invested in a Chinese Super League club in China. Sun Jihai came out of this club.

Influenced by his father, Chen Guanhai has liked football since he was a child. Since he came to England to study in junior high school, he has been unstoppable. He basically goes to the scene to watch the Premier League games every weekend. In recent years, some Chinese players have gradually come to major European leagues. Since Sun Jihai came to Manchester City in 2002, Chen Guanhai, who has known Sun Jihai since childhood, has not missed a Manchester City game. And the year before last, Li Shiguang emerged from Leeds United. Not only did he give Leeds United, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, a new life, but he also led the team back to the Premier League as the head coach. This made Chen Guanhai admire him greatly. He learned from the news that Li Shiguang was a second-generation Chinese and a fellow villager with him, so he had the idea of ​​getting to know Li Shiguang.

Seeing Li Shiguang's gaze turned to him, Chen Guanhai, who was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and looked a little embarrassed, quickly greeted Li Shiguang: "Brother Li, hello! I am your loyal fan! That's why I shamelessly asked Brother Sun to bring me to see you! Don't blame Brother Sun."

How could Li Shiguang blame Sun Jihai? Although he was a second-generation Chinese in the eyes of others, he still regarded himself as a Chinese. When people are abroad, there are not many opportunities to meet fellow countrymen. There is nothing wrong with meeting a fellow countryman who should be quite capable today.

So the three of them exchanged a few simple pleasantries and walked into the restaurant under the leadership of Sun Jihai.

The owner of this restaurant is from the north, so the food on this table is also the specialties of northern China. Although Li Shiguang prefers spicy food, the braised pork ribs in northern China have always been his favorite.

The three of them did not drink today. Li Shiguang and Chen Guanhai did not like to drink, and Sun Jihai, as a professional player, did not drink at all. In less than half an hour, the food on the table was cleared away in the happy atmosphere of the three reminiscing about their hometown.

Li Shiguang, who put down his chopsticks, took the initiative to hand Chen Guanhai a cigar, and then took two puffs himself. With a mysterious smile on his face, he asked Sun Jihai: "Xiao Sun, you should not just want to treat me to a meal today, right?"
