i don't want to be king

Chapter 223 Spain?Germany?Italy or France?

The breakfast was very delicate, but Li Liang knew from the very beginning that it would be difficult for him to remember the taste of these delicacies.

Lao Xu and Adams had a tacit understanding. After eating a few bites, they got up and told Li Liang to wait for him in the hotel lobby.

Li Liang knew that they wanted him and Mourinho to have a good conversation alone.

Mourinho spoke first, and he asked straightforwardly: "Li, what kind of team do you want to play in next?"

Li Liang was almost choked, he didn't expect the conversation to start so straightforwardly.

He took a sip of tea and replied: "I haven't thought about it too much, but I want to play in the 'Big Five'.

Other than that, I haven't considered other leagues yet. "

Mourinho nodded: "Then you know what?

You won't have the chance to play in the Premier League until at least next summer. "

Li Liang replied, "Yes.

Tony [Adams], Patrick [Vieira], even my agent, Mr Xu, told me about the labor permits, it's really a big problem. "

Mourinho asked again: "As far as I know, Manchester United and Chelsea have expressed interest in you. What do you think?"

Li Liang’s tension when he met Mourinho for the first time has dissipated, he relaxed and said frankly: “Yes, except for them, Villa and West Ham United, they have contacted Adams and Mr. Xu.

But frankly, I can't accept their proposal.

They are all going to loan me to another league after signing me, and they all promise to help me apply for a labor permit as much as possible——

But I'm 25 years old and don't want to waste my precious time like this anymore. "

Mourinho nodded approvingly: "I agree with you very much, I am very familiar with what Manchester United and Chelsea are doing.

——Especially Chelsea, I am afraid no one is more familiar with it than me.

These two clubs have a very rigorous system in training non-EU players.

But with all due respect, very few of their players who have gone on loan to other leagues have returned to the Premier League and been successful.

As for the other two clubs, I believe it must be more difficult for you to accept their invitations. "

Li Liang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Mourinho and himself seemed to have known each other for a long time, and he seemed very kind and completely different from what he imagined.

Mourinho continued: "In the so-called 'big five leagues', you don't have to think about the Premier League for now.

So, Lee, where do you prefer to go?
Spain?
Germany?

Italy or France? "

Li Liang was thinking silently, and Lao Xu told himself that Ligue [-] Lyon and Monaco had also formally contacted him and Adams.

But apart from the broadcasts I have watched and what I can find on the Internet, I don't know anything about the two teams.

During the long talk at the Manchester City base the day before yesterday, Li Liang basically reached an agreement with Lao Xu about his future.

According to Lao Xu's analysis, it is not easy to judge which teams really started to ask about Li Liang's situation out of competitive needs.

In recent years, the domestic football market has become more and more popular. Some big domestic clubs have begun to pay more and more attention to Chinese players playing overseas for their own considerations.

All of a sudden, overseas players with some strength have become "hot spots" in the domestic transfer market, and the foreign clubs that own them have also tasted the sweetness one after another, and they can all earn astonishing premiums in similar transactions.

So Lao Li reminded Li Liang that if the opponent recruited him from a non-competitive perspective, it is best not to go, otherwise it will be difficult to truly realize his ambition.

In addition to this reason, there are still some clubs in the five major leagues that do not take performance as the only goal, and take a special "self-made blood" business path.

They all have an excellent scouting system, and after recruiting players with potential, usually after a period of polishing, they immediately put these well-known players on the market to obtain the maximum benefit.

In other words, in such a team, no one is impossible to sell.

If Li Liang joins such a team and proves his strength, he will definitely transfer again.

As long as you perform well in such a team, you will get a lot of opportunities to show your worth.

The only shortcoming is that it is difficult for such a team to maintain a stable high level and continue to reach the top.

……

Li Liang understood what Old Xu meant at the time, and he preferred to wait patiently to see if he could find a more suitable club.

Because in addition to New York City and the four Premier League clubs, Monaco and Lyon are officially known in the industry for being good at "selling blood" development.

These two clubs often sell the stars of the team, and then rely on the youth training and scouting system to continuously replenish new blood, and so on.

Li Liang was really grateful. As a professional broker, Lao Xu was obviously trying to make trouble with "money".

But the only thing about Mourinho is that Lao Xu admires him very much.

……

Facing Mourinho's question at this moment, Li Liang didn't know how to answer.

He raised his head and asked, "Sir, how do you think I should choose?"

Mourinho stared into Li Liang's eyes and said: "We must first clarify a question, what exactly do you want?
Is it money?
Then this question will be very simple!
You only need to consider the number of years of the contract, additional clauses, signing fees and so on.

Oh, by the way, there are local tax rates, the club can give you the portrait rights, advertising and commercial development of the maximum sharing ratio and so on. "

Li Liang noticed that Mourinho's eyes on the opposite side suddenly became sharp, and then softened.

The Portuguese continued: "If you want to win honors, then definitely a club with strength, ambition and ambition is more suitable for you."

Seeing that Li Liang was silent, he smiled slightly and said, "Li, you are already 25 years old.

As a professional player, many of the best times have passed. Of course, you should consider getting a more ideal contract, even if you find a suitable platform first and then strive for the next bigger contract.

this is the truth.

Otherwise, when your legs start to age, when you can't even get a short-term contract in the fourth division--

It's too late to think about what to do with the rest of your life and your family.

It's okay Lee, speak your mind, and whatever choice you make, I think it's understandable. "

Li Liang was still in a daze. He really hadn't thought about what Mourinho said.

In the beginning, I played football by myself purely to survive.

When he knew that this goal was completely achievable, Li Liang found that the biggest motivation for his persistence was constantly changing.

He straightened his back and slowly sat up, leaning on the back of the chair and asked softly: "What about you, Mr. Mourinho?

What are you holding on to?

As far as I know, even if you don't do any work from now on, you will still get all the money from the previous contract——

That is a number that many people can't even imagine in their lifetime!

But you still seem to be trying to get back on the coaching bench...

Mr. Mourinho, what exactly do you want? "

Mourinho's expression froze all of a sudden. He took a sip of coffee, but his eyes never left Li Liang.

Li Liang didn't dodge, and looked at Mourinho calmly.

He does want to know the answers to the questions, and more.
