Upon hearing Howard's words, a group of reporters couldn't help but marvel at how wise Li Shiguang's decision to urgently acquire Howard had been.
After he finished speaking, Howard nodded slightly in Li Shiguang's direction.
Only then did the reporters realize that Li Shiguang had come up behind them, so they quickly turned around and shoved the microphone in front of him, bombarding him with questions.
...............
The next day, at a bar outside Elland Road stadium.
The television is showing interview footage from yesterday's match.
In the video, Li Shiguang speaks with a smile: "Our goal this year is definitely to return to the Premier League. Of course, the season has just begun, but we have already had a great start, haven't we?"
"For the next four months, until the winter transfer window opens, Leeds United's goal is to remain unbeaten and win the mid-season title!"
Upon hearing Li Shiguang's words, the fans who were drinking burst into laughter.
Having such a goal is certainly a good thing.
Before the season started, fans thought Leeds United were definitely going to tank this year, but after the first game, the team's performance has surprised them.
However, they also know that yesterday's victory was largely due to Howard's outstanding performance.
They're not even chasing the mid-season championship anymore, let alone remaining unbeaten. Right now, fans just want Howard's hot streak to continue for a few more games so that Leeds United can maintain their competitiveness for a Premier League title before the winter transfer window.

At the same time, in London.
Bates had just finished watching the interviews with Howard and Li Shiguang.
He didn't watch yesterday's game.
So he was quite surprised when he saw Leeds United win today and Howard was named Man of the Match.
In his mind, Howard has always been a player with an unpredictable, erratic style of play, but Howard's stable performance yesterday and Li Shiguang's confident remarks on TV just now also made him a little worried.
Something's not right. This is very strange. I have to see Howard's performance live. If he's like this in the next game, then I'll have to consider whether to buy Howard first. After all, given Leeds United's current financial situation, Li Shiguang can't possibly offer him a high salary.
Then, by reselling Howard, he could not only make a small profit but also further damage Leeds United's performance. As long as they fail to return to the Premier League this season, given Leeds United's current financial situation, he would definitely be able to acquire him at the lowest possible price after the season ends.
With that in mind, Bates picked up the phone and called his assistant: "Buy me a ticket for the next Leeds United game."
