He plopped heavily onto the sofa.
Simeone spread his hands and joked with Ron: "Ron, I'm not trying to be mean, but what era are we living in? Why don't you just send these scouting reports to the boss's email? Why did you have to type them out? Now Ferreira and I have to make the trip too."
“I made it!” Ron winked at Simone, a teasing smile playing on his lips.
"It's out?" Simone was taken aback, and when he realized what was happening, he turned around and saw the mischievous grin on Li Shiguang's face.
"Hehe." Li Shiguang chuckled matter-of-factly. "That's right, I had Ron print it out specifically. I can't be the only one working overtime on something like this. Alright! Stop complaining, finish your get off work early and get off work early."
Li Shiguang had just finished speaking.
Ron divided the scouting report in his arms into three parts and handed them to the three people sitting on the sofa. Then he said to Li Shiguang, "Boss, you can take a closer look at the first one. Didn't you tell me last time that after selling Toure, you should focus on all-around midfielders? I think this kid is pretty good."
"Oh?" Li Shiguang murmured, immediately shifting his gaze to the scouting report in his hand.
When Li Shiguang saw the picture of the big, black guy grinning with a wide mouth and white teeth in the scouting report, he almost slapped himself.
Paul Pogba!
Holy crap! How could I forget about him?! Isn't he the perfect player for a shady business persona?
Li Shiguang quickly summoned the system, and Pogba's current attributes immediately appeared before his eyes.
Paul Pogba

[Player Evaluation]: An extremely talented footballer, equally adept with both feet, capable of shooting and passing with both. His comprehensive technique, excellent vision on the pitch, powerful physique, and versatility in the midfield position all give him the potential to become one of the most watched top players in football history. Of course, it would be even better if he could control his eating habits and his family's behavior in the future!
Overall Assessment: E
comprehensive!
Upon seeing Pogba's stats, only two words came to Li Shiguang's mind: comprehensive!
As expected of the second box-to-box midfielder after Yaya Touré who can cover the entire field, his formidable strength at only 14 years old suddenly warmed Li Shiguang's heart.
It's not that we expect Pogba to significantly improve Leeds United's performance.
After all, he's only 14 years old. Who knows how many years it will be before he can play in the Premier League.
But in Li Shiguang's memory...
Pogba left Manchester United.
Back then, Ferguson disapproved of Scholes' lack of discipline and ambition. Even after Scholes had announced his retirement, Ferguson actually persuaded him to return to Manchester United. This move led the proud Pogba to choose to prove himself elsewhere.
To be honest.
That was definitely a good move!
Pogba fully unleashed his talent at Juventus. During his four years with the club, he grew into the undisputed midfield core, scoring 34 goals and providing 40 assists in 178 appearances.
Without a doubt, this answer sheet is absolutely excellent!
Manchester United, then in a period of recovery, spent over 100 million euros to bring Pogba back from Juventus! This deal made Juventus, who had brought Pogba from England to Italy for free four years earlier, incredibly wealthy!
Now that Li Shiguang has come across this, he naturally has no choice but to take the 100 million euros.
His eyes lit up, and he tossed the half-finished scouting report onto the table, asking Ron, "This kid's got potential! Where's he now?"
“Uh…” Ron was taken aback, thinking to himself, didn’t it say so in the scouting report?
However, since it was the boss asking the question, Ron quickly suppressed his doubts and replied, "He's in the youth academy at Le Havre, but this kid has a problem, boss, I have to tell you beforehand."
"you say."
Ron pondered for a moment, his brow furrowing slightly: "I spoke with this kid face-to-face once, and how should I put it, I felt his thoughts were a bit unpredictable, and as for his personality..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ron couldn't find a good adjective to describe Pogba's character.
“Break away?” Li Shiguang clearly realized what Ron wanted to say and asked softly.
“Yes!” Ron nodded. “This kid has a very eccentric personality, and… he’s a bit of a troublemaker! Their youth training director and I are on pretty good terms, but when I talked to him about this kid, the youth training director just shook his head.”
“Kids are kids, it’s normal for them to be a little mischievous.” Li Shiguang pointed to Simone next to him. “You call him a troublemaker? I don’t believe he’s as troublesome as Diego! He dared to mess with the heartthrob, and after messing with him, he still dared to accept my invitation to work in England.”
"Hey! Boss, why are you bringing up this old story to tease me?" Simeone, who was engrossed in reviewing the scouting report, was jolted awake by Li Shiguang's words. "I've already made up with David!"
"Oh, so you're calling him David now?" Rivaldo chimed in, not wanting to be left out.
Hahahaha!!
Rivaldo's sarcastic tone made Li Shiguang and Ron burst into laughter.
After laughing, Li Shiguang wiped away the tears that had come from the corners of his eyes and looked at Ron again: "It's okay, there are plenty of troublemakers in Leeds United, one more won't make a difference. With Thomas and me here, are you afraid we can't control a 14-year-old kid? Besides, if we really can't handle him, we can just sell him. We won't lose out."
Hearing Li Shiguang mention Tuher.
Ron also recalled Tuchel's dark face in his mind, then nodded and said, "Then when Allen goes to work tomorrow, I'll tell him to make an offer to Le Havre. I estimate it'll only cost 300,000 to 400,000 euros to bring this kid here."
“Okay.” Li Shiguang nodded in agreement.
But after he finished speaking, he remembered something else, so he reminded Ron with a sly smile.
"By the way, have Allen ask if this kid has an agent. If not, have Allen tell Raiola to contact his parents!"
