i don't want to be king

Chapter 789 The Dust Settles
July will be over soon, and there are endless blockbuster transfers in European football, but there are still rumors about Neymar's transfer that have shocked the world.

Li Liang already knew very well that within a few days, the world football, to be precise, the division of power in European football will undergo major changes.

Is it like what Mbappe said, go to Paris together to create a new dynasty around Neymar?
Jardim said very frankly to Li Liang: "...I don't want any of you to go to Paris!

Of course, Li, my voice won't play a big role in the face of huge transfer profits, but I really don't want you to help Paris..."

Daxiong also made a special trip to call: "Liangzi, what are you thinking?"

Li Liang replied: "Brother, I want to continue to play at a high level in the new season!"

Big Bear said: "Haven't you seen Guardiola?
To be honest, I think Manchester City is really a good choice for you!

During my time at New York City Club, I feel that City Football Group (the parent company of Manchester City) really wants to do football well!
Every detail, every specific plan is very professional!
And it is obvious that they are planning for the long term...

By the way, Ryoko, didn't we stay at the Manchester City base together?You should know it without me telling you! "

Of course Li Liang knew that Big Bear was doing everything for his own good.

……

This morning, Li Liang will meet Mourinho for the third time this summer.

He already felt the sincerity of the magic bird——

After the other coaches met, most of them were handed over to the sports directors or other responsible persons of their respective clubs to continue to contact Li Liang and Lao Xu.

Even Old Xu was surprised: "Liangzi, Mourinho really cares about you!"

What surprised Li Liang the most was that during the three meetings, Magic Bird never mentioned Li Liang's promise to him back then.

"plum?"

Mourinho took a sip of coffee and continued: "You should already know, we got Romelu (Lukaku), and Nemania (Matic), we only have some left with Chelsea. The technical details are going to be discussed, and it shouldn’t take too long.”

Li Liang replied: "I know, Jose, are you still pursuing Perisic and my teammate Fabinho?"

Mourinho frowned: "These two are very difficult, especially Fabinho.

The player himself has agreed that Manchester United will be his first choice, but there is still a big difference between us and the head of Monaco..."

Li Liang couldn't help thinking of Nasser's words, "...Li, who else do you want to be your new teammate? I can guarantee that I will bring him to Paris!"

He could feel that, compared to the first meeting more than a year ago, Mourinho was still very honest with himself, still without reservation.

He still remembers that when he faced invitations from different clubs for the first time, it was Mourinho in front of him who helped him make the most crucial decision, which he knew almost nothing about.

At that time, Magic Bird had decided to go to Manchester United to coach, but he advised Li Liang not to set foot in the Premier League at least in the first season.

If he chooses to stay in the Premier League, although he will definitely be rented out to other leagues due to labor permits, Li Liang has already been shaken. It was Mourinho's words that made him determined to go to a team that can Get yourself a game club!
It now appears that the choice at that time was undoubtedly the most sensible.

Li Liang asked the same question again: "Jose, can you tell me about your plans for next season?"

Mourinho replied: "Is this the third time you've asked that question?

Lee, I'm sure you'd like to hear something else.

Well, I'll tell you all I know. "

"First let's analyze our league opponents...

……

Predictably, although Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool and Tottenham, they must also cause us considerable trouble.But I believe that Manchester City will be our biggest opponent. "

"I am not satisfied with the current lineup, but judging from the current situation, the hope of the players I want to come to Old Trafford this summer has become increasingly slim, and of course this includes you."

At the end of the conversation, Mourinho said: "Lee, you can be more frank, even if you end up in another team, I hope I will still be your best friend!

I know what your biggest concerns are.

That's right, Manchester United's current tactical play cannot provide you with a position on the field that is exactly the same as in Monaco.

Even if you come to my team, you must also make changes! "

Li Liang stared at Mourinho: "Jose, you said——

'...it's an indescribable joy to help ambitious players achieve their dreams...

You also said that you can't see a player who is so eager to win, getting further and further away from his desire...'

So, to help a player reach the highest level on the court, why must he change the way he is best at playing? ! "

Mourinho became serious, and the old friend who had a relaxed conversation with Li Liang suddenly disappeared, replaced by the aggressive character in the sideline command area that Li Liang was most familiar with!

"Lee, you know what?
At your age, no, when he was younger, Cristiano didn't play like he does now. He has been changing himself to achieve what he is now.

There is also Rio (Messi), who used to play in the middle, which is somewhat similar to your current role, but now he has completely adapted to playing on the right.

This is modern football!
At least until now, I haven't met a player enough to make me completely change my football philosophy-"

Both fell into a long silence.

Li Liang's cell phone was on, and he didn't need to look to know that it must be a message from Lao Xu. The agreed time had come, and he should leave.

He asked, "Jose, if there was such a player, would you change?!"

Mourinho was shocked. He stared into Li Liang's eyes, and the smile slowly reappeared on his face: "Li, can I take your words as a challenge to me?"

Li Liang also smiled: "Before that, I want to know what Marco (Materazzi) said to you that night outside the Bernabéu stadium 7 years ago?!"

Mourinho's eyes widened sharply: "...

Lee, are you kidding me? ! "

Li Liang replied calmly: "I really want to know!"

Mourinho laughed: "Well, Lee, I can tell you, but not now.

When you fulfill your agreement with me and we meet again, I will tell you everything you want to know! "

Li Liang also laughed out loud, and Magic Bird gave the exact same answer as the phone call more than a year ago!

……

Old Xu rushed forward anxiously: "Liangzi, we are going to be late!"

Li Liang replied firmly: "Brother Xu, let's go back to the apartment!
I've already figured it out!

Please help me cancel all subsequent arrangements! "
