Good news, veteran fan Li Shiguang has been reborn and reincarnated as a rich second-generation.
Bad news, his father, who was Leeds United's largest shareholder, passed away right before...
The press conference became much quieter. As it drew closer to 10 o'clock, the reporters gradually stopped chatting, glancing at their watches and turning their attention to the entrance of the venue.
Photojournalists pointed their lenses at the entrance, eager to snap a picture the moment the door opened and capture the image of Leeds United's mysterious new signing.
It was almost 10 o'clock.
The entire venue was filled with a tense atmosphere. Everyone was waiting anxiously, and time seemed to stretch out, making each second feel exceptionally long.
Just then.
A slight commotion came from behind the tightly closed door.
"Click." The door was slowly pushed open from the outside.
The reporters all leaned forward, and a few photographers who weren't quite prepared even pressed the shutter button.
The first person to walk in was a little disappointing, because it wasn't Li Shiguang or the mysterious new signing from Leeds United, but rather Leeds United's general manager, Allen.
However, some sharp-eyed reporters noticed the difference.
Allen left the court empty-handed earlier, but now he's holding a white jersey. Although the name on the jersey isn't clearly visible, you can see a number printed on the back that looks like a "2".
2?
This figure raised doubts among the journalists who discovered it.
Is Leeds United's new signing a top-class center-back?
The key question is, which center-back is worth 50 million euros?
When did Li Shiguang become such a traitor?
Amid this atmosphere of suspicion, Allen first handed his jersey to the staff on site, and then smiled and turned to face the reporters who were all looking at him.
"Hello everyone, welcome to our press conference today! I am Alan, the general manager of Leeds United."
"Alright, without further ado, please allow me to introduce Leeds United's last new signing of this summer transfer window. He is... the newly crowned European champion, the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League top scorer, the Son of God, Kaka... Kaka!!!"
The moment Allen finished speaking, the white jersey he had just handed to the staff was hung up on the rack next to the podium.
This is a new season Leeds United home kit.
The staff member who was hanging up the jerseys was very considerate; he chose to show the reporters the back of the jerseys directly.
The white jersey had a large Arabic numeral, 22, printed on it, with a slightly smaller "KAKA" above it.
Allen's voice and the neatly hung jersey in front of them instantly froze the previously somewhat agitated press conference. The surprise on the reporters' faces surged like a tidal wave, and almost everyone's mouth was agape as if an egg could fit inside.
Some people looked at Allen's smiling face, some stared incredulously at the jersey, and others focused their attention on the wide-open doors of the venue.
An eerie silence fell over the entire scene at this moment, with only the occasional faint breathing sound.
Boom!!!
The silence was then replaced by cheers and applause.
Because Li Shiguang and Kaka had already entered the venue one after the other!

"...Why did I join Leeds United? I had won many honors in Italy, and after winning the Champions League this year, I seriously considered my future. That's when Lee appeared. He came to Milan in person to extend an invitation to me, and we had a wonderful conversation. As for the final outcome, everyone has seen it now."
"...Of course! Like AC Milan, Leeds United is a team with a long history and great strength, a fact I felt deeply a few months ago! At that time, Lee described his plans for the future of Leeds United to me, which was one of the main reasons that made me decide to come here. I will do my best to help the team achieve better results than last season in the new season!"
"...Did they tell me that Didico would also be joining? Of course they did! It was at a restaurant in the suburbs of Milan when Li told me that Didico would be joining Leeds United in this transfer window. For me, this was undoubtedly good news. We are national team teammates and have a pretty good relationship. It's always good to have familiar friends when you come to a new team."
"...Didico's condition? We met him in Rio de Janeiro, and he's in excellent form! I know there are some inaccurate reports in the media, but I can't say more about the specifics. In a few days, Didico will report to the team, and then everyone will see what he's like."
It started when Li Shiguang and Kaka sat on the stage.
The reporters then launched an offensive against Kaka.
Looking at the handsome young man beside him who was talking eloquently, Li Shiguang remained calm, a smile always on his lips, watching the group of reporters below the stage like crazy dogs with satisfaction.
He's cursing at me?
Let's see if you'll still be cursing after you get back today!
Before even arriving at Elland Road Stadium this morning, Allen had already told Li Shiguang that most of the English newspapers were criticizing Adriano's transfer yesterday.
Li Shiguang simply smiled dismissively and ignored the media.
Because he knew that from the moment Kaká appeared at Elland Road Stadium, every single one of the media outlets that were criticizing Leeds United and him would have to go back to work overtime to write their articles!
About ten minutes later, the reporters' questions for Kaka gradually came to an end, and everyone began to focus on Li Shiguang, who had not spoken since entering the venue.
