After finalizing the signing at the restaurant, Li Shiguang didn't dawdle.
As soon as the three of them finished eating and returned to the office, Li Shiguang called Allen and asked him to come to the base in the afternoon to draft a quotation email to send to Mays.
Having learned from Wang Chu that Raiola had also signed Pjanic through Wang Chu's introduction, it was clear that Raiola had already done so.
So after Li Shiguang ended his call with Allen, he immediately called Raiola and told him about Leeds United's decision to sign Pjanic. If Mays were unwilling to sell Pjanic, then Raiola would have to find a way to put some pressure on them.
Allen has always been an excellent executor.
The next morning, he called Li Shiguang. Metz readily agreed to Leeds United's offer of 9.5 million euros. After discussing the details such as salary with the player, Pjanic would be able to join Leeds United smoothly when the winter transfer window opened.

soon.
After the five-day holiday, the players who were not called up by the national team returned to their teams. After leaving the training tasks to Simeone and Rivaldo, Li Shiguang spent all his time in his office studying Arsenal's match videos.
Wenger has had pretty good luck this season.
On the one hand, the team has few injuries and the players are in good form. With three competitions, they are making great strides on all fronts!
on the other hand.
After Henry left the team, Cesc Fàbregas, who was heavily promoted by Wenger, officially became the new king of Arsenal.
The Spaniard lived up to expectations, and his performance on the field has been evident to all fans. He not only perfectly orchestrated Arsenal's midfield, but also, in the first thirteen league rounds, more than half of Arsenal's 28 goals have been related to Fabregas.
In addition to ensuring the stability of the backline, the other midfielders, including Hleb and Rosicky, have performed well this season.
What surprised Wenger the most was...
After losing Henry, Adebayor, who had also temporarily slowed down his pursuit of money after being persuaded by himself, seems to be getting back on track and has begun to perform steadily and well in matches.
Li Shiguang knew this very well.
To secure those crucial three points at the Emirates Stadium, containing Fabregas is key. He's considered many solutions and is waiting for the first-team players to return so they can practice them properly!

On November 18th, the qualifying rounds for the last international match day of the year kicked off.
Starting from the second day after these qualifiers began.
Li Shiguang's initially good mood gradually began to be clouded with gloom.
First is the European Championship qualifiers.
Croatia, who were the first to play, lost 0-2 to North Macedonia away from home. What upset Li Shiguang the most was that Modric was injured during the game. In fact, the report sent by the Croatian national team indicated that Modric would be out for at least two to three weeks.
At the same time.
Germany did manage a resounding 4-0 victory over Cyprus at home, but Lahm, who was called up to the national team, suffered cramps in the final moments of the match. After examination by the German national team doctor, it was found that Lahm had a minor strain in his right thigh and was expected to be out for a month.
If the injuries to these two key players only made Li Shiguang feel slightly resentful, and the only game affected was the one against Arsenal that could be considered important...
Then, during the World Cup qualifiers in South America, Li Shiguang was furious in his office!
With only four days left until the match against Arsenal.
So even though many players haven't returned to the team yet, Li Shiguang still personally went to the training ground to lead the team in training these past two days.
This morning, Li Shiguang had just sat down in his office when Allen knocked on the door and walked in with a serious expression.
"Boss, bad news!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shiguang's heart tightened suddenly, and he immediately thought of yesterday's qualifiers. Before he could ask, Allen continued, "Kaka and Adriano are both injured!"
"Is it serious?" Although Allen looked very serious, there was still a hint of expectation in Li Shiguang's tone when he asked.
"Adriano's alright. He got fouled too much in yesterday's game, but thankfully it's just a minor injury, he should recover in about two weeks." Allen nodded. "But Kaka..."
"What's wrong with Kaka?" Li Shiguang frowned, a sense of foreboding washing over him.
After hesitating for a moment, Allen blurted out the news he had just received: "Gaetalo just called me and said Kaka has a problem with his groin!"
This news made Li Shiguang forget about Allen, who was still beside him, and he subconsciously exclaimed in surprise, "So early!?"
"Huh?" Allen looked puzzled. "What, so early?"
Realizing that his statement was somewhat abrupt, Li Shiguang did not answer Allen's question, but instead frowned and pondered.
That doesn't make sense!
Wasn't it only revealed that Kaká had a groin problem after he joined Real Madrid in 2009? It's only 2007, how come he's already having this problem?
Moreover, Kaka was in great condition after arriving at Leeds United. Out of concern for him, I specifically instructed the team doctor to closely monitor Kaka's health. This had never happened at Leeds United before. How come it suddenly started happening after we went back to South America?
Increasingly angry, Li Shiguang stopped thinking. He had to find out what was going on in person. He turned to Allen and said coldly, "Call Gaetalo. I need to find out what's going on in person."
