Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

In a suite of a luxury hotel in Manchester, Li Lei and Mendes were having a crucial conversation.

Mendes sat on the sofa, holding a document in his hand. It was the offer from Manchester City, a heart-pounding number.

"Li, did you see it?" Mendes said, with a hint of excitement in his voice. "Manchester City, they are serious."

"They are willing to pay you a transfer fee of 100 million. This is a milestone, not only for you, but also for the entire football world."

Li Lei stood by the window, looking at the Manchester skyline, with excitement, trepidation, and confusion in his heart.

"Jorge, I know this is a huge opportunity." Li Lei said slowly, with a thoughtful voice.

"Manchester City, Guardiola, this is what I have always dreamed of."

"But I'm not sure, this price, this expectation, are they too big for me?"

Mendes stood up and walked to Li Lei's side. He put his hand on the young man's shoulder, his eyes firm and warm.

"Li, listen to me, you are worth this price, you are worth all the expectations." Mendes said, every word was full of sincerity.

"The talent and hard work you have shown in the past year have impressed the entire football world."

"Manchester City is willing to pay such a price for you because they see your potential and your future."

Li Lei turned around and looked at Mendes. In his eyes, there was excitement, gratitude, and a hint of fear.

"But Jorge, this means greater pressure and higher expectations." Li Lei said, his voice trembling slightly.

"What if I can't meet their requirements, if I can't prove my worth?"

Mendes smiled, his eyes firm.

"You will, Li, I believe in you." He said, his voice full of power.

"You have talent, determination, and perseverance."

"These are all necessary conditions for achieving greatness, and pressure and expectations are not obstacles, but motivation."

"They will make you stronger and better."

Li Lei took a deep breath. Mendes was right.

This is a challenge, but also an opportunity. This is his chance to prove himself and surpass himself.

"Thank you, Jorge." Li Lei said, his voice became firm again.

"You are right, I should not be afraid of pressure, I should embrace it and use it."

"Manchester, this is my dream. If they believe in me, I should believe in myself too."

Mendes smiled, a smile full of pride and relief.

"This is the Li Lei I know." He said, his tone full of praise.

"Brave, determined, never give up, this is you, this is the quality that will make you a legend."

"So, we have decided it?" Li Lei asked, his eyes bright.

"Yes, we have decided it." Mendes replied, his tone firm.

"Manchester, Blue Moon, this will be your new home, the starting point of your new journey."

Outside the window, the sky of Manchester is as blue as a wash, and the sun shines into the room, illuminating the faces of the two people.

At this moment, a decision has been made, a decision that will change the world of football.

Li Lei, the miracle from the East, is about to start a new chapter under the blue moon.

After the two talked about the transfer, they began to talk about Li Lei's business. Due to Li Lei's great success in the Premier League, a domestic variety show called "Ultimate Challenge" recently invited him.

"Li, this is a very good opportunity." Mendes said, his tone full of excitement.

"Ultimate Challenge, this is a very popular show."

"If you can participate in it, not only will more Chinese fans see your side outside the court, but also your personal charm will be more displayed."

Li Lei nodded, but there was a hint of hesitation on his face.

"But Jorge, I am a football player." He said, with a hint of worry in his voice.

"Will participating in variety shows affect my training and competition? Will people think that I am not focused enough?"

"Li, I completely understand your concerns." Mendes said, his tone sincere.

"But believe me, participating in such a program will not affect your career."

"On the contrary, it may bring you unexpected gains."

Li Lei raised his head, his eyes full of doubts.

"You see, football now is not just a sport." Mendes explained.

"It is more of a culture and entertainment."

"Fans, they not only pay attention to your performance on the field, but alsoPay attention to your life outside the court, your personality, your charm. "

"And variety shows are the best platform to show these. "

Li Lei listened carefully, and gradually, his eyes became brighter.

"You are right, Jorge." He said slowly, as if he had a new understanding.

"I should not limit myself to the court. I can also connect with my fans and show my other side in other ways. "

"That's right, Li. That's what I want to say." He said, his tone full of encouragement.

"You are already a great player. Now, it's time for the world to see a more comprehensive Li Lei."

"A Li Lei who is not only talented, but also charming and has personality. "

After finishing his conversation with Mendes, Li Lei began to pack his luggage and prepare to go back to China for vacation.

In addition to participating in the recording of the show, there are several commercial activities for him to attend, and Mendes will stay in the UK to complete his transfer negotiations.

Li Lei stood in the hotel room, looking at the packed suitcase.

This will be an unusual journey, not only because he will participate in the recording of the variety show, but also because it marks a new turning point in his career.

"Remember, Li, no matter where you are, no matter what you are doing, you must stay focused." Mendes said behind him, his voice firm and caring.

"Your career, your dreams, these are the most important, everything else, must be subordinate to this."

"I understand, Jorge." Li Lei said, his voice firm.

"Football, Manchester City, these are my top priorities, and I will not let anything affect my focus. "

"I believe in you, Li, you have a champion's heart. "

"Remember, no matter what happens, I will be here to support you, I will do my best to fight for the best conditions and the best opportunities for you. "

"Thank you, Jorge. I feel so lucky to have you here. "Li Lei said, his voice full of sincerity.

"I know that this transfer negotiation will not be easy, but I believe that with your wisdom and experience, we will definitely find the best solution. "

"Don't worry, Li, this is my job." Mendes said with a smile.

"Just enjoy your vacation and show your charm. Leave the rest to me."

"Everything will be ready when you come back."
