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

The old man was very happy, but he was still very young.

Hearing Li Shiguang's words, Raiola immediately thought that Li Shiguang might have overthinking.

Because Raiola knows Ibrahimovic's character too well, no matter how much money you give him, he will not choose to go to a team that can't even play in the Champions League at this age.

So after thinking about the wording for a while, Raiola answered: "Mr. Li, to be honest, based on my understanding of Zlatan, he may not be willing to go to a team that can only play in the league now. Moreover, there is one thing I must remind you, Juventus spent 16 million euros to bring Zlatan from the Netherlands to Turin. If you want to bring him to Leeds, you may have to be mentally prepared for the cost."

Even if Raiola didn't say this question, Li Shiguang could think of it.

He did not hesitate, but said to Raiola with a mysterious tone: "Don't worry about this, Mr. Raiola, if Leeds United can't even participate in the Champions League, I will definitely not offer Zlatan. As for the price, I can quietly tell you a little gossip. In a few months, something may happen in Italian football. You have to make some preparations in advance."

Li Shiguang's words made Raiola confused. He could understand the first half of the sentence, but he really didn't understand the second half at all. When he was about to ask Li Shiguang what he meant.

Li Shiguang had a mysterious smile on his face, and he pressed his hand and continued, "Mr. Raiola, I know what you want to ask, but don't worry, I can't say more now. Let's continue to talk about Zlatan. I won't let you work in vain. If Zlatan can come to Leeds United smoothly, in addition to paying you a considerable fee, I can also help you contact those young talents who have no agents from all over the world, and let you become their agent. What do you think of this proposal?" Hearing Li Shiguang's words, Raiola's eyes, which were originally full of doubts, suddenly brightened up, and a burst of ecstasy rushed directly into his heart! He must admit that Li Shiguang's proposal was a direct hit on his lifeline! He had been envious of the young talents of Leeds United for a long time, and he had actually thought about it a long time ago. Moreover, Raiola, who regarded the agent career as his life, could be more impressed than the fact that all his men were talented players? "Really? Mr. Li, are you kidding me?" At this moment, Raiola had already forgotten his life motto of not getting too close to the club owner.

Li Shiguang nodded solemnly: "Of course it's true. I believe that these guys will have a smoother career path after having an agent as capable as you!"

Facts several years later proved that Li Shiguang's decision was not wrong, because the good cooperative relationship established with Raiola from this time also brought huge benefits to Li Shiguang.

After having lunch with Raiola, Li Shiguang returned to Leeds.

As soon as he landed, he received a call from Allen, saying that Camoranesi had been settled. Of course, there were some small episodes along the way. At first, Camoranesi insisted on staying in Juventus, after all, Juventus had reached the top 16 of the Champions League, but after learning that Juventus had decided to sell him and hearing Allen's offer of 85,000 euros a week, he agreed to the transfer under the persuasion of his agent.

Li Shiguang was also very happy to get the news. In this way, Leeds United's lineup for the second half of the season is basically completed, and the team has enough personnel to rotate when facing a dense schedule.

In the next two days, he was involved in intensive training again.

On Saturday, Leeds United welcomed the challenge of Manchester City at home.

Before the game, some media also brought some so-called "China Derby" rhythm, but after all, Sun Jihai in Manchester City is just a player, and there is still a big gap between him and Li Shiguang, the club owner and head coach, so it did not cause much discussion. In the eyes of British fans, there is a fundamental difference between Li Shiguang, who was born in England, and Sun Jihai, a foreign player from China.

When the two teams were warming up, Li Shiguang also met his fellow countryman. Unlike Dong Fangzhuo, Sun Jihai, who had already been a regular in Manchester City, had a different personality.

Cheerful, after finishing the warm-up, Sun Jihai took the initiative to find Li Shiguang, and the two chatted enthusiastically.

Li Shiguang actually admired Sun Jihai very much, not only because of his famous scene of running 1V4 on the goal line to save the ball, but also because of Sun Jihai's strength in his peak period. Even if the main right backs of the 20 Premier League teams were compared horizontally, he was at least in the middle level. If you add some emotion, it is not wrong to say that he is in the upper middle level!

After the game against Chelsea, the Premier League winter window will open, and Deisler and Chiellini will leave the team at that time.

With the mentality of "I pay you a day's salary, you must ring the clock for me", in this game against Manchester City, Li Shiguang still put the two in the starting lineup.

Manchester City was in good shape at the beginning of this season, and even ranked in the top 4 when the points were the highest, but the team's state has been poor in recent rounds, and it has suffered a series of defeats. Now the team's points have slipped to the middle of the standings.

Before the game started, everyone, including Li Shiguang himself, thought that there should be no suspense in this game, and Leeds United should be able to easily get all 3 points at home.

The final result was indeed all 3 points, but the game process was indeed full of twists and turns, which was surprising.

Because only 30 minutes in the first half, Manchester City was already leading Leeds United by 3 goals away from home.

During the halftime break, Li Shiguang was furious in the locker room, scolding the starters so much that they couldn't even raise their heads. Fortunately, Li Shiguang's scolding finally woke up the people who were sleepwalking in the first half.

In the second half, Leeds United seemed to have changed a team. After the opening, they launched a crazy attack, scoring 3 goals in 15 minutes, and tied the score to 3-3.

Then Li Shiguang made substitutions. Bale, who had just returned from injury, did not disappoint Li Shiguang. In the 80th minute of the game, he suddenly attacked outside the Manchester City penalty area and blasted Manchester City's goal with a powerful world wave.

In the end, Leeds United completed a stunning reversal in the second half and received the three points without any danger.

And because the two teams ahead of them lost the game in this round, Leeds United finally squeezed into the top four after a period of slump when the season was about to be halfway through!
