Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

After all, the life of a rich second generation was not easy.

Allen's words reminded Li Shiguang.

I still remember that when I first came here, the life of extravagance in the original owner's memory often popped up in my mind. After all, he was a rich second generation, and there were basically no women around him.

But after Li Shiguang took over this body, perhaps because he was just an ordinary person in his previous life and had never been exposed to the life of a rich second generation, or perhaps because he was always busy with work under the pressure of reviving Leeds United, these lives that he envied in the past gradually faded from his memory.

Originally, it was just normal to ask Allen to assign an assistant to himself, but he didn't expect that this kid understood it to be a deeper meaning.

But it's okay. Now life is getting better and better, and there is money in hand. I still have to enjoy life.

But it doesn't matter whether the assistant is a beauty or not.

Li Shiguang is now a big boss with a net worth of several million euros, and as Leeds United's performance gets better and better, he will definitely make more and more money. Is he afraid that there will be no beautiful women throwing themselves at him in the future?

After a little fantasy, Li Shiguang forgot about Allen's proposal.

····

The next day, Li Shiguang came to Stuttgart, Germany again, where Allen helped him make an appointment with someone.

After the game with Chelsea, Li Shiguang sorted out two urgent things in his hands.

The first is the selection of the new youth training director.

The previous youth team coach of Leeds United followed Blackwell to West Bromwich Albion.

For a while, Li Shiguang did not find any suitable candidate to replace him, so until now, the training of the youth training team has been concurrently handled by the assistant coach, and Li Shiguang himself will take one day a week to train the young men in the youth training.

But now is different from the past.

In the future, Li Shiguang's work will definitely become busier and busier, and the time he can spend on the youth team will be greatly reduced. Moreover, with the help of the system, Leeds United's youth training team will become larger and larger, and those who can enter Leeds United's youth training must be young talents.

Therefore, it is urgent to introduce an outstanding youth training director.

Now he has two candidates.

One is Thomas Tuchel, who is currently leading the Stuttgart U19 team.

The other is Diego Simeone, the Argentine midfielder who will retire next year.

Both of them were coaches that Li Shiguang liked before his rebirth.

Tuchel's coaching career will reach its peak at Chelsea in the future. After taking office in 2021, he immediately reversed Chelsea's decline. Not only did he lead the team to win the second Champions League trophy in team history that year, but he was also elected as FIFA's best men's football coach of the year 2021.

Especially after Chelsea was seriously affected by some reasons other than sports, when facing away games, Tuchel said: "We can fly there and we can fly back. If it doesn't work, we can take the train; if it doesn't work, we can take the bus; if it doesn't work, I will be the driver myself, driving a seven-seater car, and take my players there!" Li Shiguang, who saw this interview on TV at the time, was also moved by Tuchel's speech.

But compared to Tuchel.

In fact, Li Shiguang prefers "bandit coach" Simeone. Before he took over Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid was a team that focused on technical flow, but after Simeone took over, the team changed its previous style. The team emphasized defense more, paid more attention to stealing and intercepting, and improved the quality of counterattacks.

It can be said that he brought diligence, strong discipline, iron blood, and an extremely eager spirit to Atletico Madrid.

Such a tenacious mental attribute is also something that Li Shiguang, who is also a head coach now, values ​​​​very much.

Before he got off work yesterday, Li Shiguang received a call from Allen, saying that he had made an appointment with Tuchel to meet today, so Li Shiguang quickly bought a plane ticket and came to Stuttgart early this morning.

After the meeting, the two found a cafe to sit down. Li Shiguang also expressed his intention directly. Because he was confident now, he generously offered Tuchel twice his current monthly salary and invited him to coach the Leeds United youth team.

Tuchel did not immediately accept Li Shiguang's invitation, but asked him to consider it. Even if he wanted to come to Leeds United, he had to wait until the end of this season.

Li Shiguang did not urge him, even if Tuchel was unwilling in the end

Coming to Leeds United, he still has the choice of Simeone.

After finishing the communication with Tuchel.

That afternoon, Li Shiguang rushed to Turin, Italy, because Wayne Joyce, the owner of Kappa, the sponsor of Leeds United's equipment, invited him to dinner tonight.

Due to the turmoil in the club in the past two years, most of the previous sponsors did not choose to renew their contracts after the expiration of the contract.

Until Li Shiguang took over, only Keppe was left as the only sponsor, and the contract between the two parties will expire at the end of this year.

Originally, Kappa and other sponsors thought the same thing before, and they were ready to withdraw after the contract expired.

Who knew that Leeds United had a big change this year, not only returning to the Premier League, but also facing the two Premier League giants last month without a single defeat, which made Wayne Joyce's mind active. You know, the influence that a Premier League team can bring is very large!

And the most coincidental thing is that just a few years ago, Kappa also entered the Chinese market.

However, because he had just entered the huge Chinese market and the company's reputation had not yet been opened, his sales performance in the past few years had not met his psychological expectations. He was worried, and then Li Shiguang came into his sight.

In his opinion, isn't the owner of Leeds United a Chinese? If he can continue to cooperate with Leeds United, according to the current momentum of Leeds United, Kappa is likely to become well-known in China!

So just last week, Joyce called Allen and expressed his desire to have a face-to-face meeting with Li Shiguang.

Li Shiguang was delighted when he got the news. Isn't this a blessing in disguise? He was also thinking about the sponsor, so he asked Allen to make an appointment with him today.

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, in a private room of a traditional Italian restaurant, Li Shiguang met Wayne Joyce.

Both parties were willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten, so when Joyce expressed his desire to renew the sponsorship contract with Leeds United, Li Shiguang nodded happily.

This made Joyce very happy. He was secretly thinking that this young boss, who looked to be around 30 years old at most, seemed to have only his talent in football and was unfamiliar with business operations.

But it was not until the two of them talked about the amount of the new contract that they had a disagreement.

He realized how difficult this seemingly harmless young man was...
