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...
"Tap...tap...tap..."
The talking in the private room had stopped, and the only sound was the tapping of fingers on the table.
After Mendes finished speaking, Li Shiguang did not reply immediately. Instead, he frowned and tapped the table, pretending to be thinking.
The questions Mendes raised were, in his view, not really questions at all.
Li Shiguang knew that Cristiano Ronaldo was ambitious and wanted to win all kinds of championships and set all kinds of records.
This is partly due to his personality, but there's another very important reason: Messi! His biggest rival in his career!
Next summer, Rijkaard will step down and Guardiola will take over.
To alleviate the conflicts in the locker room, Guardiola's first action after taking office was to let go of Ronaldinho and Deco, the core players of the Dream Team II, and to start cultivating Messi, who had just turned 21, as the new core player. He also solidified Iniesta's starting position.
Then, starting from the 2008-2009 season, Guardiola's Dream Team began to dominate European and even world football! In the competition over these years, from a club perspective, Cristiano Ronaldo's achievements, whether at Manchester United or later at Real Madrid, were inferior to Messi's!
certainly!
This also made this man, who never gives up, more self-disciplined and more focused on achieving perfection in his personal statistics!
But on the other hand, Ronaldo was actually doing quite well at that time.
Given his personality...
Right now, the person I most want to surpass is Kaka.
After all, Kaká beat him to win the Champions League trophy last season, and just now he helped him defeat Manchester United again in the league. Moreover, he will soon win the FIFA World Player of the Year and the Ballon d'Or.
Li Shiguang is confident that he can make Manchester United leave empty-handed again this season, which might make Ronaldo think of joining the team if he can't beat them.
As for Ronaldo's family, Li Shiguang really couldn't do anything about it, as he didn't know Ronaldo's mother and sister at all. However, Li Shiguang wasn't worried about this, because he knew that Mendes had always maintained a good relationship with Ronaldo's mother, and he believed that Mendes had the ability to resolve this issue. After all, he hadn't taken the money for nothing, and if he wanted to gain benefits from Leeds United, Mendes would have to put in corresponding efforts.
As for the club Mendes mentioned....
Thinking of the two old men, Li Shiguang's face immediately became quite interesting.
"Mr. Mendes, you seem to have a good relationship with Cristiano's family, don't you?"
"Yes."
"So, is it alright to entrust the task of persuading his mother and sister to you?"
Mendes was taken aback, clearly not expecting that Li Shiguang would still not give up on the idea of signing Ronaldo after listening to his long speech.
So when he heard that Li Shiguang was going to entrust him with the task of persuading Ronaldo's family, he didn't immediately agree; instead, he was taken aback for a moment.
Li Shiguang frowned slightly as he looked at him: "Is there a problem?"
"Ah..." Seeing that Li Shiguang seemed about to get angry again, Mendes finally realized, "No problem! No problem!"
"That's good." Nodding, Li Shiguang continued, "As for Cristiano, find an opportunity to make a connection, and I'll talk to him personally."
At this point, Mendes was too lazy to persuade him any further. He simply took out his phone, checked it, and replied, "If you have time, after Portugal plays their European Championship qualifier against Kazakhstan away on the 17th, I can arrange for him to return to Portugal before heading back to England."
Li Shiguang is very satisfied with Mendes' current attitude.
As expected of a top agent, his execution is truly impressive!
But after hearing Mendes say that he could arrange for him to meet and talk with Ronaldo in the next few days, Li Shiguang pondered for a moment and then shook his head: "There's no need to rush. We just beat Manchester United at Old Trafford recently. I bet that kid still has some grudges against me, hahaha."
Although that's what they say.
But that's not what Li Shiguang was thinking.
He knew very well that, given Ronaldo's arrogant personality, if he were to talk to him about transferring to Leeds United now, Ronaldo would definitely not agree.
How to deal with someone with Ronaldo's personality.
We must completely defeat him and make him submit willingly.
For example, they could win the title again this season by beating Manchester United. If they are lucky enough, they could even face Real Madrid in the Champions League and defeat them head-on. That might even weaken Ronaldo's dream of playing for Real Madrid!
Li Shiguang was indulging in fantasies.
On the other side, Mendes looked surprised. He looked at Li Shiguang with puzzlement, unable to understand what this big shot was thinking.
They were just expressing their determination to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo.
Then, when I arranged for them to meet, they refused again.
You have to understand that when it comes to player transfers, especially transfers involving a player of Ronaldo's caliber, if you're even a step too slow, you might miss your chance!
So Mendes gently reminded him, "Mr. Li, if we don't seize this opportunity during the international break to meet, it will be difficult for me to find you two a private meeting before the winter transfer window opens once Cristiano returns to England. Didn't I just tell you that Real Madrid has a very high probability of making a formal offer to Manchester United during this winter transfer window?"
“Try to delay this matter a bit,” Li Shiguang smiled slightly. “Given your relationship with Sanchez, it shouldn’t be difficult to persuade them to postpone their offer to Manchester United by two months, right? Anyway, according to you, Ferguson is unlikely to let Cristiano go this winter.”
“Uh… that’s not difficult, but…” Mendes didn’t quite understand what Li Shiguang meant, “…what’s the use? If Cristiano knows that Real Madrid has made an offer to buy him from Manchester United, then I think even if you personally intervene, you might not be able to persuade him!”
Of course it's useful!
Upon hearing Mendes's words, Li Shiguang smiled mysteriously, and Florentino's smiling face immediately came to mind.
Although I haven't asked Allen to find out if the old man has any plans recently.
But having already handed over all the evidence against Calderon, Li Shiguang believed that Florentino would definitely not do nothing. In Li Shiguang's imagination, Calderon must be having a hard time now.
As long as Real Madrid doesn't make an offer for Ronaldo in the winter transfer window.
Then we'll have to wait until next year.
The leadership of Real Madrid may have to change.
Although I remember that Karl Lagerfeld only returned to the throne in 2009, now that I've exposed all those shady things about Calderon to him ahead of time, the course of history will definitely change if nothing unexpected happens!
When Florentino took office.
Last season, when the two watched the Champions League final together in Greece, the promise he'd made to Florentino came in handy...
