After resting for one night in London, Li Shiguang led the entire team back to Leeds.
As soon as their bus approached Thorpe Arch, Li Shiguang, sitting in the front row, saw countless enthusiastic Leeds United fans waiting for them at the stadium entrance.
After the players got off the bus, the fans sang Leeds United's anthem, "Marching On Together."
Yes, although the team lost to Arsenal away in the last game, Leeds United's performance this season has been excellent. They not only won the League Cup after many years, but also secured a Champions League spot for next season. This achievement is very satisfying for the fans who have stayed with Leeds United even when they were at their lowest point.
Looking at this group of fans who had been waiting at the entrance of the training base for the team's return for a long time.
Li Shiguang was also deeply moved. He quickly called Allen and asked him to arrange for people to bring all the fans into the base, and then simply set up a grand celebration party there.
A short while later, Allen and his staff came out and began guiding the fans into the base, while Li Shiguang, who was walking at the back, was stopped by his old acquaintance Lin De.
Lin De smiled and held the microphone in front of Li Shiguang: "Hello Mr. Li, I'd like to conduct a brief interview with you, is that alright?"
Li Shiguang nodded.
Over the past year, Lind has practically become Li Shiguang's mouthpiece in the media, and Li Shiguang certainly wouldn't refuse such a small request.
After receiving permission, Lind gathered his thoughts briefly before asking, "Congratulations on leading Leeds United to fulfill your promise made at the beginning of the season. Now, is there anything you'd like to say?"
Li Shiguang laughed happily: "Personally, I don't have anything particularly to say. After all, I dared to make such a promise, so I believe I can definitely lead the team to achieve it! But I still want to thank the fans who have always supported us, just like you, and all the staff at Leeds United. With your support in spirit and logistics, we are more motivated to strive for higher goals!"
After he finished speaking, seeing that Lin De wanted to ask something else, Li Shiguang quickly stopped him and pulled him into the base gate.
The most important thing right now is to get into the fun; interviews can wait!
Thus, the celebration between players and fans, which started at lunchtime, lasted until after 4 p.m.
After seeing the fans off, Li Shiguang held a brief debriefing meeting in the restaurant.
Subsequently, Li Shiguang announced on the spot that the entire Leeds United team would have a two-month break starting tomorrow. Considering that some players would be returning to their national teams for training due to the World Cup, Li Shiguang specially postponed the original assembly time of July 15 to July 20!
This decision cheered up players like Falcao and Dzeko, who were somewhat disappointed about missing the World Cup. Since they couldn't showcase their abilities on the world's highest stage of football, a relatively long vacation was a consolation prize!
····
Starting the next day, the players gradually left the team, and Li Shiguang also began his month-long vacation.
During this period, he planned to hand over everything to Allen. After a busy year, it was time for him to rest.
During his time resting at home, something happened that left Li Shiguang speechless.
That day, after he finished dinner, he sat in front of the computer, bored, ready to surf the internet, when he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a treasure chest that he hadn't opened yet.
The main system had issued a task, but Li Shiguang had only completed the fourth-place finish in the league, and the final reward was just a platinum treasure chest. So, in the past few days, Li Shiguang had actually forgotten about it when he had some free time.
Yeah! It's all because the Platinum Treasure Chest is so barely noticeable! This system is so stingy!
Li Shiguang thought to himself.
But even a mosquito's leg is meat, so he quickly summoned the system and opened the platinum treasure chest that had been lying in the system for almost a week.
The familiar process continued. After the light from opening the box gradually faded, an unfamiliar card lay quietly in front of Li Shiguang.
[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: Morale Card. Uses: 5!]
Huh? You got something new?
Li Shiguang quickly clicked on the explanation below the card to read it.
Morale Boost Card: After use, this card will temporarily boost the morale of the team coached by the target head coach to peak for 90 minutes. (Note: 1. This card only works when activated on the team's head coach. 2. This card can be activated on any team's head coach! Please use with caution.)
So, this thing works on me too this time?
Li Shiguang scratched his head, put the card into his skill pack, and sighed inwardly, "Sigh, it really is just something from a Platinum Treasure Chest. It's better than nothing, but I can activate it for myself when the players are in bad form or when we're behind. That way I can save some breath, hehehe."
Afterwards, Li Shiguang took the opportunity to check the club's current situation in the system.
