i don't want to be king

Chapter 222 The Special One

At noon on February 2, both Li Liang and Da Xiong started to pack their luggage in the room.

When this day really comes, I suddenly feel a little reluctant.

Vieira and Reina talked to both of them separately, and there were no surprises.

Big Bear was very excited, and he had already agreed to the invitation from New York City.

He discussed it with Lao Xu, and now going to the major leagues is the best chance to directly play in the game.

But New York City also euphemistically pointed out that, like most professional clubs, they are unlikely to provide a long-term contract for a veteran like the Big Bear.

Big Bear doesn't mind, he still hopes in his heart that he can have the opportunity to realize his dream of going out, even in the big leagues.

As expected, Li Liang declined the invitation.

Vieira still has some regrets, but he still blessed Li Liang very generously.

The two said goodbye to the young and old in New York City.

La Tanzio gave Li Liang a thick stack of CDs, and he told Li Liang that there were some game videos and some analysis data that would definitely be useful.

Cook gave Li Liang a document, which listed in detail specific suggestions, plans and precautions for Li Liang to strengthen his physical fitness and body.

When saying goodbye to his teammates, everyone sent sincere wishes to Li Liang.

Both Pirlo and Villa expressed the hope that Li Liang's wish to land in the five major leagues will come true as soon as possible, and they will definitely come to the scene to cheer for him in the future.

Lampard quietly pulled Li Liang aside: "Li, what's your plan next?"

Li Liang replied frankly: "I don't have any plans yet, I may have to contact representatives of some clubs in the next few days."

Lampard smiled and said: "In that case, you can find me in London, I will not go to New York for now.

I'm organizing a charity game at Stamford Bridge in about 10 days, can you join us?

I can introduce you to train with Chelsea. "

Li Liang replied: "Thank you Frank, may I reply to you later?"

Lampard nodded: "Well, I'm looking forward to seeing you in this game too.

Call me when you've decided! "

Li Liang and Daxiong bid farewell to the Manchester City base, and this unforgettable 10-day experience.

……

This day is also the traditional Valentine's Day in the West. Sitting in the car and watching all kinds of publicity on the street and couples holding bouquets, Li Liang suddenly realized that he bought a large bouquet of red roses downstairs in the hotel.

This is also the first time in his life.

As soon as he saw Xiao Yu, he handed her the rose. Xiao Yu was very happy, took the rose and hugged Li Liang tightly in front of everyone.

Everyone else responded with laughter and enthusiastic applause.

Although they are in a foreign country, everyone feels that Li Liang and Da Xiong seem to have returned home in triumph.

Lao Xu and Adams have communicated repeatedly many times, and they have carefully planned all of Li Liang's next plans.

——That evening was originally arranged to be with Mourinho.

Mourinho hopes to chat with Li Liang alone after everyone has dinner together.

Old Xu quietly reminded Li Liang to meet important people at night——

Jose Mourinho, he will most likely determine the direction of Li Liang's future career.

Li Liang replied: "I'm sorry Brother Xu, can you tell Mourinho for me——

I have an important date tonight, can I wait for tomorrow to meet him? "

Old Xu's expression slowly froze and his mouth became an "O" shape: "Liangzi, what did you say?
This is Mourinho!
I heard that his next step is likely to take over Van Gaal's position at Manchester United...you have to think clearly!
This is Manchester United!

Meeting him is an opportunity that many people dream of! "

Unexpectedly, Li Liang has been stubborn, Lao Xu had no choice but to call Adams.

Mourinho, who was waiting with Adams in the restaurant, couldn't help laughing when Adams said apologetically that Li Liang had something urgent to do at night.

He smiled and said to Adams: "By the way, I forgot what day it is today!
I'm so sorry, Tony, that you had to have dinner with me on such a romantic day..."

Both of them burst out laughing.

Although it looked very relaxed, Mourinho's heart sank. He had a premonition that tomorrow's meeting would definitely not go as smoothly as imagined.

After having a romantic candlelight dinner with Xiao Yu, the two walked through the streets of Manchester holding hands.

Xiao Yu couldn't help asking: "Brother Liangzi, I want to ask you a question..."

Li Liang replied with a smile on his face: "Xiao Yu, tell me."

Xiao Yu stood still and stared into Li Liang's eyes: "Don't you want to see Mourinho?"

Li Liang also stopped: "I just want to be with you today..."

Xiao Yu became serious and criticized Li Liang: "This is related to your dreams and future, I will never allow you to do this next time!"

Li Liang was taken aback for a moment, and then he was immediately moved!
Xiao Yu said "next time"? !

That is to say...

……

The meeting with Mourinho was changed to the next morning, and the two sides agreed to have breakfast together in the restaurant of the hotel where Mourinho stayed.

Old Xu got up early and prepared everything, but he was still obviously very nervous.

What made him both puzzled and dissatisfied was that Li Liang seemed very indifferent on the contrary, and he was not in a hurry after leaving the door of the room.

On the way, Lao Xu repeatedly reminded Li Liang that besides New York City, which had clearly rejected him, there were six other clubs that had expressed interest in recruiting Li Liang.

But Mourinho has repeatedly stated that he does not represent any club, he just wants to chat with Li Liang on his own behalf.

So far, only two people have offered to meet directly with Li Liang, and Mourinho is the only head coach among them.

"Ryoko, this is an absolute 'big guy' among the coaches, Mourinho was once known as one of the best coaches in the world!

If someone can come to you in person, it shows that he is really sincere! "

Li Liang looked at Lao Xu: "Well, but it seems that he has time now (Mourinho is currently unemployed)?

The other coaches are busy preparing for the game, right? "

Old Xu was a little disappointed. He obviously felt that Li Liang was not as enthusiastic about Mourinho as he was.

Mourinho deliberately chose a very secluded location.

Looking at the gray-haired figure beside Adams from a distance, Li Liang felt a little dazed.

Mourinho looks very quiet, completely different from the rebellious, violent, irritable and even very mean and acrimonious image he is familiar with on TV and the Internet.

Seeing the two of them, Mourinho smiled and got up and held out his hand.

It wasn't until he saw the real person that Li Liang realized——

This is really Mourinho!

It was completely different from the superficial indifference. After returning to the hotel yesterday, Li Liang searched all the information about Mourinho and did his homework for today's meeting.

Jose Mourinho, who is proficient in eight languages, has led four different league teams to win 8 league championships, 11 cup championships, 2 Champions League championships and 1 UEFA Cup (the predecessor of the Europa League) championship.

创造了9年150场联赛主场不败纪录，其中包含英超主场77场不败记录，2004至05赛季英超最高积分（95分）、最少失球（15球）记录。

He also became the youngest coach to reach 49 games in the Champions League at the age of 12 years and 100 days.

He has successively won the best coach of the Portuguese Super League, the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga, and was elected the best coach of UEFA four times.

He was elected as the best coach in the world by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) four times, the first FIFA Golden Globe Award in 2010 as the best coach in the world, and became the No. 1 football coach in the world by Forbes nine times.

……

What I was facing in front of me was the "madman" Mourinho who once called himself "the special one".

But in fact Li Liang didn't like this "madman".
