"This is insane! The world has gone completely mad! What were Manchester United and Ferguson thinking? How could they sell their top scorer to their biggest rival?"
"78 million euros? Is Cristiano Ronaldo worth that much? Has Li Shiguang gone mad?"
"I don't know if he's crazy or not, but in at most half an hour, the sports media and Leeds United fans all over the world will go crazy... Oh, right, Manchester United fans will probably go crazy too."
"As expected of Li, we knew he wanted to do something big for us, but we never imagined he'd go this big!?"
"Is Ferguson really willing to give up so much? Or is this the Glazer family's idea? After all, Cristiano only has one year left on his contract, and the renewal negotiations have been dragging on for so long..."
While the reporters below the stage were frantically snapping photos, they didn't forget to discuss among themselves.
Ultimately.
It was still Cristiano Ronaldo wearing a Leeds United jersey at Elland Road that was truly stunning.
Until now.
Many journalists were unwilling to believe that Manchester United's star player had appeared here looking so refreshed.
But that's the truth.
Cristiano Ronaldo has already walked onto the stage with a smile.
Just like when they welcomed Benzema.
Li Shiguang took the initiative to step forward and give Cristiano Ronaldo a warm hug before returning to the center of the stage and looking around the stands at Elland Road Stadium.
"Leeds United die-hards, tell me, are you surprised?!"
"surprise--!!!"
"Leeds United die-hards, tell me, are you satisfied with the club's signings this summer transfer window?!"
"satisfy--!!!"
"So... what will I, who have surprised and pleased you so much, receive in return!?"
As soon as he finished speaking...
Time seemed to stand still for a moment inside Elland Road Stadium.
Then.
"Li!!! Li!!! Li!!!"
The unified shouts resounded throughout the entire stadium!
At this time.
The emotions of the more than 50,000 fans in the stands had been stirred to their peak by Li Shiguang.
On stage, Li Shiguang closed his eyes and spread his arms, enjoying the thrill of tens of thousands of people chanting his name at the same time.
The shouting lasted for at least seven or eight seconds before gradually subsiding as Li Shiguang pressed his hands down.
The fans' fervent emotions gradually calmed down.
Li Shiguang turned around and grabbed the smiling Cristiano Ronaldo behind him, leading him to the center of the stage.
"Alright, friends, that basically concludes my work for today!"
"Next, I will hand over the stage to our new number 7, to the world's most valuable football player. I believe he is eager to say a few words to you all!"
After saying all that,
Li Shiguang nodded at Ronaldo with a smile in his eyes, then turned and walked towards the chair behind him.
And after Li Shiguang left.
Cristiano Ronaldo, once again the focus of Elland Road Stadium, stood where Li Shiguang had just stood, his mouth stretched wide, his upper body slightly leaning forward, as he spoke his first words since joining Leeds United to the more than 50,000 fans and reporters below the stage.
"Thank you all!! Thank you to my boss and head coach, Mr. Li!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking...
Another cheer erupted inside Elland Road Stadium.
I waited for a little while.
Cristiano Ronaldo spoke again: "It's amazing! It's unbelievable! I didn't expect so many people to come today! So much so that when I walked onto the stage just now, my body was shaking, and I almost fell down when I was walking up those few steps because I was so nervous."
Hahahaha!!!
Cristiano Ronaldo's witty remark drew laughter from the crowd.
"Really, I'm not kidding! I was genuinely nervous coming here! But now, thanks to Li's opening remarks and everyone's support, I've calmed down!"
"I know... when I first appeared on that red carpet, many people still couldn't believe it was real. You might be wondering why I chose to join Leeds United..."
"To be honest, this is all Li's fault!"
"He has a kind of magic, a kind of magic that makes football players want to get closer to him once they come into contact with him!"
"Of course! As people who have followed him for over four years, you definitely understand this magic better than I do! That's right, it's the magic that makes you a champion just by following him!"
This remark drew another burst of laughter from the audience.
Cristiano Ronaldo is absolutely right.
Since Lee Shih took over Leeds United, the team has won at least one title every season.
This is something most head coaches can't do!
"But no matter what! I'm standing here now, I'm a part of Leeds United, I'm wearing the number 7 jersey for the White Roses, and my name is being chanted by everyone!"
"Please believe me, in the coming years, my teammates and I, under Lee's leadership, will bring you and countless Leeds United fans around the world one championship trophy after another!"
Finally, I want to say!
At this point, Ronaldo took a deep breath and roared into the microphone.
"Hello!!! Liz!!!"
