A moment later, a player appeared in Li Shiguang's mind. In his memory, the player was currently suffering from illness, both physical and psychological.
Sebastian Deisler, who was considered alongside Michael Ballack as the future hope of German football.
Thinking of this genius, Li Shiguang couldn't help but sigh.
Injuries plagued Deisler throughout his career, causing him to miss every opportunity to represent Germany in major international competitions. Most importantly, in addition to physical injuries, he was also diagnosed with severe depression.
This led Deisler to retire at the age of 27, which is the peak age for a football player. Therefore, Deisler's retirement was a great pity for the world of football and countless fans!
In Li Shiguang's memory, Deisler, who was playing for Bayern Munich at the time, had already been hospitalized once due to depression. At the same time, his knee injury, which recurred from time to time, was also tormenting him, which greatly affected his playing time at Bayern Munich.
If I were to approach Bayern Munich now to buy him, I might be able to acquire him at a relatively low price.
He then arranged for Allen to handle the matter, while he prepared to go home and get some rest.
Six days later at Elland Road, Leeds United fielded a completely reserve squad for their final league match of the season, and suffered their first defeat of the season.
However, the fans who came to watch the game did not criticize Li Shiguang and the players, after all, it was a completely reserve lineup, and their strength was still inferior to other Championship teams.
The following day, under Li Shiguang's leadership, Leeds United held a grand championship parade to celebrate their victory.
Leeds was packed with fans, with tens of thousands flocking to the streets to celebrate this wonderful moment.
Seeing the young man standing at the front of the double-decker bus, dressed in a sharp suit, holding the trophy in both hands and gesturing to everyone, many of the gray-haired fans were moved to tears.
There was a time when they all thought that the white-clad team they had been loyal to all their lives would fall into a long period of silence. But this young man took only one year to lead Leeds United out of the abyss. In a few months, they will be able to launch another attack on the top league title!
After the Championship season ended, the Premier League season also came to a close the following week, and just as Li Shiguang remembered, Chelsea won the Premier League title this season.
After Chelsea was acquired by Abramovich last year, he spent nearly 200 million euros on player acquisitions in the transfer market. It can be said that it was Abramovich who started the era of money-driven football in the Premier League. This is why Li Shiguang has always believed that it is impossible to build a great club with just passion and coaching skills!
Mourinho did not disappoint Abramovich's trust, leading this powerful Chelsea team to bring a Premier League trophy to Stamford Bridge for the first time in 50 years. The only regret was their defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League semi-final.
With the conclusion of the top five European leagues, the Champions League final, which has garnered worldwide attention, is about to be held in Istanbul, Türkiye.
Li Shiguang had already asked Allen to buy him a ticket for the Champions League final.
Before his rebirth, he was a die-hard AC Milan fan, and his biggest wish was to watch an AC Milan match live.
Although he knew that AC Milan would ultimately lose the game, and in an extremely humiliating way.
But he still chose to go to the stadium to watch the match, which was called the first miracle in football, the "Night of Istanbul". He had some expectations in his heart. After all, the wings of this reborn butterfly had changed the fate of Leeds United. What if it could also change the fate of AC Milan?
The Champions League final was on May 25th, and Li Shiguang arrived in Türkiye a week early.
It's been almost a year since he was reborn, and as a rich second-generation heir, he has never had a proper trip.
He had never been to Europe in his previous life, but in the past 10 months, leading Leeds United on numerous away games, he had traveled to most parts of England. However, outside of England, Li Shiguang had never been to any other country.
So after the team went on vacation, Li Shiguang also gave himself a week to visit Türkiye in advance.
Allen booked the Ritz-Carlton Hotel for Li Shiguang, which is located in the heart of Istanbul, right next to Taksim Square. This area boasts Istanbul's most bustling commercial street, filled with all sorts of Turkish cuisine and souvenirs.
After eating fried chicken and fries in England for almost 10 months, Li Shiguang finally got a proper break from his life.
Fortunately, the busy training schedule of his daily life reduced Li Shiguang's need for food. He usually just had a casual meal at the club.
It has to be said that England is truly a culinary desert. During his stay in Istanbul, the wide variety of Turkish kebabs and unique desserts rekindled Li Shiguang's passion for food.
Li Shiguang, holding a skewer of grilled meat that is about 50cm long, is leisurely strolling through Istanbul's famous Grand Bazaar.
A shop selling rugs and scarves with a distinctly Turkish flair caught his eye, and he planned to buy some to give to the club's staff.
Upon entering, he saw the owner answering a boy's question. After glancing at him, he started browsing on his own.
After browsing for a while and seeing that they were still talking, Li Shiguang put down what he was holding and decided to go look at other things first before coming back to buy.
Although he had been talking to the boy, the shopkeeper had also been paying some attention to Li Shiguang. When he saw Li Shiguang turn to leave, the shopkeeper ignored the boy and asked Li Shiguang, "Hello, sir, did you not see anything you liked?"
Seeing that the shop owner finally paid attention to him, Li Shiguang stopped and replied, "No, I'm very satisfied. I saw a few scarves that I liked, but I saw that you were chatting with this gentleman, so I thought I'd go browse other shops first before coming back to buy them."
While Li Shiguang was answering the boss's question, the boy who had been facing away from him turned around and looked at Li Shiguang. It seemed that he rarely saw a face like his own in Istanbul. While Li Shiguang was answering the boss's question, the boy stared at Li Shiguang intently.
This surprised Li Shiguang a little after answering the boss. Since his rebirth, this was the first time he had encountered an Asian while wandering around alone. However, he was not sure if the other party was Chinese, so he just smiled politely and prepared to leave.
Just as Li Shiguang was about to turn around, the boy opposite him suddenly spoke, and in fluent Mandarin: "Are you Chinese?"
