Chapter 494 Huo Cun Miraculously Meets Ferguson (2)

After Li Huan signed the letters and took photos with the fans, the restaurant became calm again.Yang Yun arranged him and Sun Hai in a private seat, and asked the waiter to bring a pot of Yuqian Longjing, and the three of them sat drinking and chatting slowly.

After a while, Yang Yun answered a call to order food, and when he came back, he said pleasantly, "Today is a good day. Manchester United's Wayne Rooney, Ronaldo and others are coming here for dinner."

If it was three years ago, Li Huan would have been extremely excited, but now that he is a world-renowned football star, his curiosity and admiration for these world superstars is much less. He just smiled and said, "What a coincidence."

Yang Yun said with a smile: "If you can win the UEFA Cup, you will have to play against them in the UEFA Super Cup next season."

Li Huan said with a smile: "I prefer to play against them in the Champions League."

While the three were talking, Manchester United captain Gary.Neville brought Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Evra, Park Ji-sung and Edwin van der Sar to the 'Outer Sky' restaurant in plain clothes. They first parked their ostentatious top sports cars and off-road vehicles in the restaurant Then, he tiptoed into "Tianwaitian" and sat in front of the reserved seat.This is because the British tabloids and the paparazzi have such a keen sense of smell that the Manchester United stars were extremely cautious even when they went out for a meal. They didn't relax until they got inside the restaurant.

The guests in the restaurant seem to often encounter this kind of scene. Although they paid attention at the same time and talked about it, no one came to ask for an autograph.When Yang Yun saw Ronaldo and Rooney coming in, he waited very attentively at the table they had reserved.

Today was Captain Neville's treat. He first ordered the signature dish of "Tianwaitian" Crispy Duck, and then asked others to order.Manchester United players often come here, and almost everyone orders their favorite Chinese food without looking at the menu.Only Park Ji-sung seemed to seldom come here, and he took a long time to look at the menu before ordering a spare rib.

When Yang Yun sat at the table of Sun Hai and Li Huan, Li Huan caught Van der Sar's attention. The Dutch goalkeeper known as the giraffe has studied Li Huan's free kicks. In the past year, almost all goalkeepers in Europe have risen. Of course, Van der Sar is no exception to the upsurge of studying Xiao Li's flying knife. However, in the eyes of Europeans, Asians are all similar in appearance. Van der Sar did not dare to confirm it. The Asians who are together are very similar to the legendary Xiao Li Fei Dao."

Evra also said: "It is very similar."

Park Ji-sung is an Asian, and he knew the features of Asians at a glance. He immediately concluded that Li Huan was sitting there, and said, "That's right, it's him. Tomorrow, the UEFA Cup final. I heard that Hoffenheim has come to Manchester."

Ronaldo saw that several teammates were talking about Li Huan. He didn't believe Li Huan's free kicks without fail, and said disdainfully: "Is it his free kicks without fail? It looks very ordinary."

"It's definitely a bragging. It's good to be able to reach your level." Although Park Ji-sung has performed very well in the Champions League and the league this year, he is still a small player in Manchester United. I took a look at the little ass of this popular fried chicken.

"This man's free kick is really good, comparable to Ronaldo." Van der Sar said seriously. In fact, he was concerned about Ronaldo's face. What he really wanted to say was that Li Huan's strength was similar to Ronaldo's, but he was accurate. There is still more than that.

Evra said: "I want to see his speed more. I heard that he ran the 10 meters in less than [-] seconds. I don't know if it is true or not."

Rooney has an irritable temper, and he never considers his status as a superstar when doing things, saying: "Since he is so powerful, I'll call him over for a drink."

Before Gary Neville could stop him, Rooney passed by with his glass.

Li Huan, Sun Hai, and Yang Yun were drinking tea, and when they saw Rooney approaching with a wine glass, they all stood up in surprise.

Rooney and Sun Hai have been in the same city for so many years, and they still play at least twice a year. They are very familiar with each other, but they have never dated each other. Rooney nodded to Sun Hai, and said to Li Huan: "You are Xiao Li Feidao Would you like to come over for a drink, my friends want to know you."

Li Huan's English is average, but he had a training experience at Arsenal in his previous life, so he could understand Rooney's words. He froze for a moment. Although he was not a young man psychologically, he still didn't know how to deal with it. That's good, but after a little thought, Li Huan picked up a cup of tea and followed Rooney.

Seeing Li Huan approaching, Van der Sar and Park Ji-sung stood up, but the others did not move. Although Li Huan's recent rise is very fast, his position in world football is not stable. A genius like him, European football Many come out every year, but more of them pass away like meteors, so it is difficult to win the respect of big-name players such as Neville, Ronaldo, and Evra.Even Park Ji-sung is just for the sake of being an Asian player. In fact, even he does not agree that Li Huan's strength is really as strong as the reporter reported. He thinks it is a bragging.

Pu Zhixing just nodded with Li Huan.

Van der Sar gave Li Huan a thumbs up and said, "I am Van der Sar, congratulations on reaching the UEFA Cup final. Your free kick is great!"

Li Huan is also an arrogant person. When he saw other people sitting still, he ignored him and said to Van der Sar: "I have admired your name for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today. It is a pity that our coach does not You are allowed to drink, sorry, today I will drink tea with you and Mr. Wayne instead of wine."

Van der Sar smiled slightly and picked up the wine glass, not minding that Li Huan used tea instead of wine, but Rooney said: "What is a coach, how can a man not drink, even if tomorrow is the Champions League final, I will still drink today... .”

While Rooney was talking, he suddenly felt that the surrounding environment was different, his teammates also became flustered, and Park Ji-sung was winking at him.

"Korean, what the hell are you doing?"

Rooney turned his head while talking, and saw a striking red nose, and then his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't speak anymore.It turned out that the head coach Ferguson had arrived.

Li Huan was the calmest among these people. He greeted the legendary coach with a smile, "Sir Alex, it's a great honor to meet you here."

"You are......"

Ferguson did not recognize Li Huan, and Van der Sar said from the side: "He is Xiao Li Feidao from Hoffenheim..."

"Ah!" Ferguson was beaming, and grabbed Li Huan's arm, "It's you, that's great, let's go over there and have a drink, oh, a cup of tea."

Obviously, Sir Alex Ferguson heard what Li Huan and Rooney said just now.

Li Huan was overwhelmed by Ferguson's enthusiasm. Rooney just recklessly invited him to drink. Although Li Huan was a little strange, he could understand that Rooney and reckless were only one word away. Any nonsensical actions made by such a reckless man would be unreasonable. It was understandable, but Ferguson was by no means a stunned young man like Rooney, but it was impossible for Li Huan to refuse Ferguson's invitation, so he had no choice but to follow Ferguson and sit at a table not far from Sun Hai, full of doubts.

Ronaldo, Neville, Evra and others don't know why Ferguson, who has always looked above the top, is so enthusiastic about this Chinese, but they dare not stay here to eavesdrop if they have the guts. They still eat flying shoes, so what are they? The six of them devoured a few mouthfuls, and paid the bill without even daring to call Ferguson to say hello.

Yang Yun served the old jazz a pot of Longjing himself, and asked him what he would like to eat. In fact, he wanted to hear what the two of them had to say, but the old jazz just waved his hand impatiently, saying that he would have some refreshments, and we'll talk about the rest later. .

Li Huan was taken aback by Ferguson's first words, "If I had found you in 04, Dong Fang would not be at Manchester United now."

Li Huan scratched his head, thinking: It is said that the British are gentlemen and conservative, but now it seems that even the most conservative British are more open than the Chinese, he said vaguely: "Oh, I was still in college in 04, I became a monk halfway."

Ferguson said: "I know, you came to Germany in 05. Very good, very good."

Ferguson said two things in a row that were very good, which made Li Huan even more confused. He didn't know whether it was good for him to go to Germany or that he was good for others, so he simply stopped answering.

Ferguson took a pastry and chewed it in his mouth, and said: "I have always wanted to watch your game and chat with you, but it is not convenient. Today is really God's arrangement."

"According to what we Chinese say, it's fate." Li Huan responded, but almost broke out in a cold sweat, because he thought of a very serious problem. If he and Ferguson are sitting here talking and being photographed by a tabloid reporter, The troubles caused will be big.There will definitely be countless versions saying that he is going to transfer to Manchester United, and he even vaguely suspects that Ferguson is trying to cause this misunderstanding.

"I think you basically won't have a problem winning the UEFA Cup. Zenit will not be an obstacle for you. The treble will be the culmination of Hoffenheim's glory. I don't think Rangnick will let Hoffenheim. There is a bigger breakthrough." Ferguson said frankly.

"Thank you Jazz for your encouragement. No one can tell what will happen in the future. Didn't Porto also win the Champions League?" Li Huan said calmly.

"Where is Porto now? Porto back then was the product of various chances and coincidences. It can be said to be a miracle." Ferguson said with a smile.

"We are also called a miracle now." Li Huan retorted neither soft nor hard.

"Hoffenheim will not always create miracles, right? All miracles will return to normal, just like in Kaiserslautern, Denmark, Greece, South Korea, etc. This is the case with Hoffenheim. It’s a bit small for you, oh, it should be said that the Bundesliga stage is a bit behind, with your current ability, you should have higher pursuits. Don’t you think so?” Ferguson said very reservedly.

But for Li Huan, Ferguson's subtlety and straightforwardness were almost the same. He took a sip of tea from his cup to cover up his nervousness, and said: "For me, the stage of Hoffenheim It's quite appropriate."

Ferguson smiled and said softly: "Soon you will find that you need a higher sky and a wider world, Lee, if you want to leave Hoffenheim, Manchester United will open their arms before you are 30 years old." You are welcome, and I promise to leave you a place in the main force, this is the promise of an old Scottish man."

Li Huan couldn't help admiring secretly in his heart. Ferguson was able to be proud of the world football for 20 years. He really is not an ordinary person. The words were really heartbreaking, and he said respectfully: "Thank you Jazz for your kindness, but I have no plans to leave Hoffenheim yet."

Ferguson said: "I'm talking about the future, not the present. As you said just now, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future."

Li Huan said with great emotion: "Since no one can say for sure about the future, I can only listen to Sir's words."

Ferguson was taken aback, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said: "Well said, young man, just treat me as an old man to express my heart, if you are willing to leave, please consider my words."

Li Huan said: "I will, Sir Alex, my friend is still waiting for me over there, I have to go, congratulations in advance to Ferguson for winning the second Champions League trophy tomorrow."

Ferguson said with a smile: "You have more confidence in Manchester United than me. Well, thank you. You also have a final tomorrow. As an old man and coach, I would like to send you a few words. I hope it will help you in tomorrow's game. As long as you can To reach the final, the strength of the team will not be bad. When there is no disparity in strength, the factors that determine the outcome of the game are details, patience, fighting spirit and luck. If you can achieve these three points, you will There you have it. Congratulations, young man. Goodbye."

"Thank you sir for your advice."

Li Huan stood up and returned to Sun Hai and Yang Yun's table. After Li Huan left, Ferguson seemed to lose interest in food, and left after eating a few pieces of pastry.

Watching Ferguson leave, Sun Hai couldn't help asking in a low voice, "What did Ferguson talk to you about? Did he persuade you to join Manchester United?"

Li Huan said lightly: "Brother Hai, if I say no, would you believe me?"

Sun Hai looked at Yang Yun, pondered for a while, and said, "I don't believe it. After all, you don't know each other."

Although Yang Yun is not in the football circle, but he has been in business for many years and is a senior fan, he is also very clear about the joints, saying: "What Ferguson and Li Huan say is not important now, no matter what they say, as long as they sit After chatting together, the media and fans can only have one idea, which is that Ferguson persuaded Li Huan to join Manchester United."

Sun Haidao: "Although the UEFA transfer law stipulates that clubs are not allowed to contact players in private, Ferguson and Li Huan met today by chance. Even if Hoffenheim knew it, it would be hard for them to tell."

Li Huan said with a sigh of relief: "Actually, it's nothing. What is clear is clear. If you do something, you have to look at the media, fans and clubs. What this professional player does is meaningless."

Sun Hai said dejectedly: "That's what I said, but it's too difficult to do it. It's my fault today. Bringing you here is like finding a problem for you."

Li Huan returned to his original unrestrained style, and said, "Brother Hai, this kind of thing is not difficult to do. If you find it difficult, you will definitely not be able to do it. It's not a difficult problem. After talking to Ferguson, It feels very rewarding.”

Yang Yundao: "What Li Huan said is a bit like a Buddhist idea. As long as you get rid of fame and fortune, it's not difficult to do it at all. If you can't let go of fame and fortune, it's naturally very difficult to do it."

Li Huan said: "Ordinary people of my generation don't know whether to be detached or not. Fame and fortune are definitely what we want, but we can't wrong ourselves too much."

Yang Yun respectfully said: "This is the true temperament of the Buddhists."

Li Huan glanced at Yang Yun in surprise, and said, "I didn't expect Boss Yang to know Buddhism."

Sun Haidao: "Brother Yang is from Hong Kong. Buddhism is very popular in Hong Kong. He must know a lot."

Yang Yundao: "I also know superficially. In fact, whoever can let go of fame and fortune is just talking. Whether it is Buddhism or Christianity, once the merit box is full of money, the gods will smile."

After all, the three of them couldn't help laughing, and chatted for a while, Yang Yun asked the kitchen to cook some dishes, Li Huan ate a little, then got up and said goodbye to Sun Hai.

Sun Hai sent Li Huan back to the Meridian Hotel and went back. At this time, the Hoffenheim players had just had dinner and were playing cards and games in the room.Not long after, the assistant coach Marco came and told everyone to go to the conference room of the hotel. Rangnick was going to hold a meeting for the players.

When the players arrived in the conference room, Lannick was putting a videotape into the VCR and rewinding it.Seeing that the players were all present, Lannick said: "Let's first take a look at the clips I made for the Zenit team, which are all clips of Zenit scoring and conceding goals. I hope you can learn something from it. "

After watching the video, Lannick focused on the marking of the opponent's key figures, and then announced the starting lineup and substitute list for tomorrow's game.

Because Hoffenheim developed a defensive and counterattack tactic, their starting lineup this time is very different from that in the league, even the game before the UEFA Cup.

The goalkeeper Hildebrand and the four defenders are basically unchanged. The two sides Li Huan and Ibetzberg cannot be replaced. Has completely sat on the bench.The biggest change is the midfielder, Weiss and Gustavo form a double defensive midfielder, Obasi and Eduardo play left and right midfielders, Ibisevic and Koppardo are on top of the front, and Demba Ba and Welin who are recovering from injuries Dayton is on standby.

Four-four-two with balanced offense and defense, this is Hoffenheim's starting formation in the final.

After Marco announced the starting lineup and explained the requirements for players in each position, the players couldn't help talking. Although they had trained 442 before the game, most of them didn't expect to really give up the familiar position in the final. 433, hit 442
