How did the newspapers analyze this match?
Li Shiguang, who had just gotten off the plane, was unaware of this.
However, while the entire Leeds United team was waiting for their luggage, Simeone approached with a sly smile and handed his phone to Li Shiguang: "Boss, look at what this guy said. When we get back to Leeds, I'm definitely going to find her and give her an autographed football!"
Li Shiguang took it and looked at it.
It turns out that a Manchester United fan started a poll on Twitter regarding the Manchester United vs. Leeds United match the day after tomorrow.
A poll initiated by Manchester United fans.
The bias was also quite pure. Li Shiguang looked at the data and found that almost 70% of the fans believed that Manchester United could win against Leeds United at home.
Simeone's promise to find the fan who would give him an autographed football after returning to Leeds sparked a heated debate in the comments section of this poll.
As long as there are comments criticizing Leeds United.
The fan would immediately reply to the other person, along with her best wishes for their family.
I clicked into this fan's profile and took a look.
With a strange smile on his face, Li Shiguang handed the phone back to Simeone: "But, Diego, I've taken a look, and I think even if you find her and give her the football after you get back to Leeds, they might not want it."
"Huh? Why?" Simone took the phone, looking confused, not understanding what Li Shiguang meant.
Li Shiguang pointed to Simeone's phone and said, "Next time you see such a handsome fan, if you want to get to know him, you'd better check out his profile first before saying anything else."
With Li Shiguang's reminder.
Simeone quickly turned his attention to his phone and clicked on the female fan's profile.
What came into his view was...
It's a photo of Li Shiguang standing on the sidelines, one hand in his pocket, the other hand directing the team.
Simone rolled his eyes, about to speak.
Suddenly, a familiar shout came from behind Li Shiguang and Simone.
"Boss! Diego! What a coincidence!"
The two turned around and saw Schmeichel standing behind them with a smile on his face. Behind Schmeichel, Ferguson was leading the Manchester United squad toward them.
"Hi! Casper, long time no see!" Simone immediately went up and hugged Schmeichel. "What are you doing here?"
"I just got back from Portugal. We're playing away in this Champions League match too." Schmeichel said excitedly, letting go of Simeone and then hugging Li Shiguang.
Just as Li Shiguang parted ways with Schmeichel, Ferguson walked over to the group.
Sir Alex Ferguson seemed to be in a good mood, a smile playing on his lips. Upon approaching, his first action wasn't to greet Li Shiguang, but rather to joke with Kasper Schmeichel: "Kasper, Li is the boss, so what am I? Don't forget, Manchester United is paying your salary now!"
"Uh..." Upon hearing Ferguson's words, Schmeichel's face flushed red, and he quickly explained, "Boss, that's not what I meant. I just haven't seen them for a while, and I'm a little excited..."
"Hahahaha. Alright, I was just kidding." Ferguson laughed heartily, patted Schmeichel on the shoulder, then turned to Li Shiguang and extended his right hand. "Long time no see, Li."
Li Shiguang smiled and shook Ferguson's hand: "Long time no see, Alex."
Thinking that Li Shiguang might need to speak with Ferguson, Simone's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Schmeichel's arm, pulling him to a spot further away to wait for the luggage.
After the two people walked away.
Ferguson then turned his gaze meaningfully to the other Leeds United players waiting for their luggage on the other side.
Before Sir Alex could even take a few glances, Li Shiguang, who was standing face to face with them, suddenly moved two steps to the side, blocking Ferguson's view: "Alex, what are you doing? The summer transfer window has only just closed, and your money is already jumping around again? I really envy Manchester United. Their results aren't great, but they really know how to make money."
Li Shiguang's words sounded quite conventional at first.
But Ferguson found it a bit strange when he heard the last sentence.
The old man's face darkened, and he immediately became unhappy: "Li, you're going a bit too far! Explain yourself, how is Manchester United's performance bad!"
"After a year of hard work, winning the Sanya title in the end is really not that great," Li Shiguang said, his words hitting Ferguson's sore spot.
Hey!
You fucking bastard!
Since the defeat to AC Milan in Greece at the end of May, the term "three-time runner-up" has become taboo within Manchester United, and no one dares to mention it in front of Ferguson.
Now that Li Shiguang had said that word in front of Ferguson, the old man's originally pleasant mood instantly soured, and he felt a rush of blood from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
"Hey, hey, Alex, don't be angry, don't be angry." Seeing Ferguson's lips trembling with anger, Li Shiguang quickly reached out and patted Ferguson's chest to calm him down. "I was just joking. Who told you to stare at my players without warning? You've already snatched Carlos, Dimitar, and Kasper from me, and you're still not satisfied?"
"You brat!" Li Shiguang's words only fueled Ferguson's anger. The mention of Tevez only made him angrier. "What do you mean I stole him? Didn't I pay you? And look at the players you sold me! Aside from Casper, who's alright, Carlos is always complaining about wanting to go back to his hometown, and Dimitar doesn't train seriously. Making him run a few steps is like killing him! I really don't know why these players performed so well at Leeds United!? Why did I even consider them!"
To be honest, of all the players Li Shiguang has sold, the only one who can truly stand up to him and criticize who is not good enough is Ferguson.
The relationship between the two is really complicated.
They are both friends and rivals.
"Hahahahaha." After a burst of laughter, Li Shiguang blinked. "Then you can only say that you didn't train him well. You can't blame me for that."
Ferguson rolled his eyes at him: "How can I not blame you? If you hadn't been pushing him so hard back then, would I have spent over 20 million euros to buy Carlos?"
"Damn, how can you blame me for this?" Li Shiguang pointed to himself innocently, then gestured to Ferguson to look at Schmeichel, who was already greeting the Leeds United players. "Look at Kasper, isn't he in bad form?"
"Well..."
"What the hell? Don't try to fool me! We're about to play a match, and I've watched your game footage. Starting from the fourth round, Kasper has already displaced Van der Sar and become your starting goalkeeper. And ever since Kasper started, you haven't lost a single game!"
