Balotelli is looking around Li Shiguang's office.
Li Shiguang and Simone also looked at the "god" that Ron had mentioned with great curiosity.
Although it was the first time I had met Balotelli.
But I must say...
At 17, he appeared exactly as Li Shiguang remembered him.
When the young players in the team first met Li Shiguang, they were all a little nervous, but Li Shiguang didn't notice that at all with Balotelli!
That's the kind of mental fortitude they have.
to be honest.
When Balotelli is on the field, as long as he doesn't have a medical lapse, he's really a great player in tough matches!
Since he still had work to do, Li Shiguang didn't plan to chat with Balotelli. He asked Allen to bring him to the office first, mainly because there was something he wanted to ask Balotelli for his opinion on.
"Hello, Mario, welcome to Leeds United."
She noticed that Li Shiguang was calling her.
Balotelli withdrew his gaze from the surroundings and looked directly at Li Shiguang without any hesitation: "Hello... Mr. Allen asked me to call you 'Boss,' may I call you that?"
Li Shiguang nodded: "Of course!"
"Okay, boss, when can I start training with the team? I can't wait to get on the court!"
"Uh... don't rush, Mario. Before you practice with the team, there's something I need to ask your opinion on first."
Actually, things are quite simple.
Last night, after Li Shiguang returned home, he unexpectedly received a call from Milger, the chairman of Real Sociedad.
After Real Sociedad was relegated to the second division this season, Li Shiguang did not pay much attention to them. The task of evaluating the performance of Casemiro and Marcelo on the field was basically handed over to Rivaldo.
So when Li Shiguang heard Milger say on the phone that Real Sociedad was currently third in the Segunda División and had a good chance of returning to La Liga next season, he was a little surprised. After all, in his memory, Real Sociedad had actually languished in the Segunda División for several years after being relegated last season, and only returned to La Liga in the 2011-2012 season.
However, good grades also come at a price.
Just after La Liga entered its winter break, the team's midfielders and forwards were poached one after another. After a week of back and forth, Milger, who did not want to lose both the players and the money, thought of Lee Shiguang, a shareholder of Real Sociedad.
So a phone call came in, with only one purpose: to ask if they had any midfielders or forwards available for loan to Real Sociedad.
In midfield, Li Shiguang has decided to loan Wang Chu to gain experience. Given his current physical condition, the relatively less aggressive style of play in the Spanish Second Division is more suitable for him. Although he hasn't told Wang Chu yet, Li Shiguang believes that he will not refuse his suggestion.
As for the striker, Li Shiguang set his sights on Balotelli, who had just reported to the club today.
Seeing Balotelli's attentive expression, Li Shiguang spoke up directly: "Mario, you just said you can't wait to play, right?"
“Of course!” Balotelli shrugged. “If Jose hadn’t talked to me and said I wasn’t in his future plans, I wouldn’t have come to Leeds United and competed with so many people! In the time it takes us to sit here and chat, I might already be playing a game.”
Holy crap!?
Are you fucking so brazen?!
Apart from Li Shiguang, Simone and Allen stared wide-eyed at this "god" who seemed completely unconcerned about what he was saying.
Allen even reached out and touched Balotelli, whispering, "Uh... Mario, Serie A is currently in its winter break, there are no matches..."
"Oh...right..." Balotelli scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "I forgot about the winter break."
Seeing him like this.
Simone slapped his forehead, slumped backward in despair, his face utterly speechless.
Li Shiguang gave a wry smile, not wanting to argue with him any further. With a quick glance, he switched to his persuasive mode: "Mario, I understand your eagerness to play. But I also need to make it clear to you that, including you, Leeds United already has five strikers. As a professional player, I believe you understand the principle of competing for a position."
Balotelli nodded: "That's no problem, but five forwards are really too many! Boss, otherwise why do you think I didn't want to come before?"
Oh shit!
Is it really necessary to keep repeating this?
Even Li Shiguang was a little annoyed by Balotelli's behavior.
Suppressing the urge to yell at him, Li Shiguang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said in an extremely gentle tone, "Mario... actually, there's another way that can get you playing in a match right away."
Upon hearing Li Shiguang's words, Balotelli had a moment of irrationality and replied with a grin, "Huh? You're sending me back to Inter Milan?"
"What the hell are you thinking!" Li Shiguang finally snapped, his eyes widening as he roared, "Am I playing some kind of fancy game with you? You just arrived in Leeds today, and I'm going to send you back to Milan tomorrow? Am I out of my mind?!"
Although I don't know why Li Shiguang is angry.
But sitting opposite him was, after all, his boss and head coach, so Balotelli put away his nonchalant attitude, closed his legs tightly, straightened his back, placed his hands on his thighs, and stopped talking.
Balotelli finally returned to normal.
Li Shiguang steadied himself before speaking again: "Mario, Real Sociedad in the Spanish Second Division is our satellite club, and I plan to loan you there! At Real Sociedad, as long as you perform to your usual standard, you can secure a starting position!"
Hearing that he could get a starting position.
Balotelli completely ignored the phrases "play as expected" and "Segunda División," and abandoned his feigned timidity. He grinned, revealing his big white teeth: "Boss, really? I can become a starter?"
The two hadn't known each other for long, but Li Shiguang was well aware of Balotelli's thoughts, knowing that this kid was definitely only half-listening to what he was told.
Although he seemed somewhat helpless, judging from his expression, he at least didn't object to being loaned out.
So Li Shiguang didn't say anything more and nodded seriously in response: "It's true. I already communicated with Real Sociedad last night. They are currently lacking a strong striker to compete for a spot to return to La Liga next season, and I have already recommended you to them. As long as you agree, you can complete the formalities today and fly to Spain to report for duty tomorrow!"
As soon as Li Shiguang finished speaking, Balotelli immediately stood up, pulled Allen along, and walked towards the door. Before Li Shiguang could react, he had already reached the office door.
After opening the door, she seemed to remember something, turned to look at Li Shiguang, and replied with a smile, "I promise! Boss, see you next season then!!! Bye-bye~!!!"
