Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 407

c399 Stay, Chris

Surrounded by countless cheers and praises, Li Ang was not in a hurry to celebrate with his teammates right away.

He hugged Azpilicueta and Marco Polo, and after laughing arm-in-arm with Cross and De Bruyne for a while, he walked to the other half.

Morata, whose eyes were full of regret and frustration, looked at Li Ang walking towards him, and subconsciously felt a sense of grievance in his heart.

“Boss…”

“I know you tried your best, Alvaro. There was no problem with your performance today. You had very few opportunities. It’s not your fault. You have contributed all your strength to your team.”

Li Ang hugged Morata and patted his shoulder gently, just like they did when they were still at Real Madrid to comfort him after a losing game.

When Morata heard this, his nose felt sore, and he felt that Li Ang knew him and understood him.

“There are always losses and losses on the field. This time we were more lucky and won the final, but this does not mean that you are losers.

Your performance this season has exceeded many people’s expectations, and you also know that I never say polite words, so believe me, Alvaro, you really have a bright future…”

When Morata heard what Li Ang said, the frustration in his heart finally gradually dissipated.

Because Li Ang rarely said polite words, he always looked at people and things and expressed his opinions objectively.

Li Ang is so optimistic about Juventus’ future development, which really makes Morata feel better.

After all, Juventus has also reached the Champions League final this season. In the future, signing in to improve the main lineup can always increase the upper limit of strength.

This year’s defeat in the Champions League final should be regarded as tuition fees. Next year and the year after, Juventus, which has further strengthened its strength, will still be a strong contender for the Champions League trophy.

This is not just a fantasy. Real Madrid, Bayern, and Chelsea in recent years all came this way before reaching the Champions League.

Morata has experienced the heyday of Real Madrid and is certainly aware of this transformation process.

Li Ang’s comfort had a positive effect, and the call therapy gave the little brother unlimited hope for the future.

After comforting Morata, Li Ang went to face brother to chat for a while.

Compared with Morata’s obvious unwillingness and frustration, Brother Face’s mood at this time is much calmer and more stable.

His career has passed its final peak. It can only be stable for one year. Maybe it will fall off a cliff when it becomes unstable.

Compared with 99% of other professional players in European football, Brother Face’s career can be considered complete now.

The club has won the Grand Slam, and the national team has also won the World Cup as the main force.

Like Long and Kroos, he has almost no regrets in his career. If you look at the honor record, he is a sure winner in life.

In addition, he earned huge salaries in Paris in the previous seasons.

After my brother moved to Juventus, it cannot be said that he has no desires and desires, but it is indeed unlikely that he will cry like a young player because of the loss in the Champions League final.

The two brothers had not met again on the court for a long time. Now after the game, they were getting along on a personal basis. The two covered their mouths and chatted and soon started laughing.

After reminiscing with Brother Face, Li Ang originally wanted to talk to Pogba again.

But the young man didn’t know if he was too injured on the playing field. At this moment, he could no longer see anyone. When Li Ang asked, he found out that he had returned to the locker room early.

“Most talented players are like this, and you understand…but fortunately, the one who defeated him today was his idol. I think he will recover in two days.”

Brother Face spread his hands and said to Li Ang with some disapproval.

After hearing this, Li Ang no longer considered enlightening Pogba.

In the final analysis, what happens on the field should stay on the field. A professional player should treat “grievances on the field” separately from personal relationships.

If Pogba really can’t get over this hurdle, it only means that his mentality needs to be further polished. Li Ang does not think it is because he targeted him too harshly.

After comforting his defeated opponents and catching up with old friends, Li Ang devoted himself entirely to his team’s grand celebration.

Touji Lao Mu’s fixed program after winning the championship is a must, and a champagne bath is also indispensable.

The entire Chelsea team worked hard all season and under tremendous pressure completed the goal of winning the championship in two ways.

To put it mildly, they have added two more highlights to their honorary resume.

Speaking more broadly, they have used their achievements in defending the Champions League to once again justify the rise and power of the Premier League!

Now that it’s time to relax, celebrate and enjoy the fruits of victory, no media will say anything if they go wild.

At least Bertrand and Hazard, after attending the celebration banquet held by the club that night, generously drove to the largest “gold sales cave” in London.

Mourinho has no objection to this. After all, the season is completely over. As long as these players don’t make headlines in private, he will not take the initiative to talk to them.

Li Ang stayed in London to participate in the club’s grand championship celebration, and then set off directly back to China to prepare for this summer’s business activities.

Mendes also went to China with him, but this time Mendes did not intend to help Li Ang win several more large-scale commercial endorsements.

He planned to have a frank and serious chat with Li Ang in China for the kind advice of Mr. Fogg.

The content of the chat was of course the possibility of Li Ang returning to Real Madrid in this summer transfer window.

If it was the chairman of other wealthy clubs who greeted him, Mendes might still persuade Li Ang not to consider leaving the team and continue to stay in Chelsea to consolidate his position in the team.

After all, Chelsea now has people and money, and with two Champions League trophies as a foundation, Chelsea’s status as a wealthy club has been completely consolidated.

The risk of starting over in other wealthy clubs is much greater than staying in Chelsea to continue to harvest heavyweight championships.

But when the club that is eager to introduce Li Ang is Real Madrid, it is really difficult for Mendes to say the word “no”.

The urging of the old man made him a little impatient for a while, so after Li Ang attended Chelsea’s championship celebration, he went directly back to China with Li Ang.

Originally, he thought that it would take a long time to convince Li Ang.

After all, Chelsea has Mourinho, a coaching staff that knows how to use him best, and close teammates who have grown up with him.

He is the well-deserved core and boss of the team here, and Abramovich likes him very much. It’s just a matter of words to ask for a raise.

But what about returning to Real Madrid?

The first thing he has to face is the cutting of personal image rights, and the second is that he must face the salary system strictly controlled by the old man.

Finally, Mendes believes that the biggest obstacle for Li Ang to return to Real Madrid is Ronaldo.

Li Ang left Real Madrid because Ronaldo’s core top position is unshakable.

Even though he and Ronaldo are very good friends, in order to make further progress in his career, he finally chose to leave his comfort zone and challenge himself in the Premier League.

Compared with the previous seasons, Ronaldo’s personal ability has indeed declined to a certain extent.

But to be honest, it is not realistic for Real Madrid to abandon Ronaldo’s personal ability and commercial value for Li Ang.

The way that the old man wants to see the transition of the top player status is that Ronaldo first sits on the bench because of his lack of ability in Real Madrid, and then Li Ang takes over the banner of Real Madrid’s representative players.

To be realistic, this can maximize the value of Ronaldo. As a businessman, he must talk business.

The old man actually has feelings for Ronaldo. Even though he once called Ronaldo a paranoid and a fool in private, he also expressed his true feelings and called Ronaldo “our dear Chris” in front of all Real Madrid players.

But for the future development of Real Madrid, he can also be merciless to any player.

If Li Ang can accept it, then he will return to Real Madrid to work with Ronaldo for another season or two, and then completely squeeze out Ronaldo to become the new top player of Real Madrid.

If he can’t accept it, then the old man will immediately start the complicated work of sending Ronaldo away in the summer window!

Mendes, as the common agent of Ronaldo and Li Ang, and also a close friend of Ronaldo for many years, certainly did not want to see this happen.

But to be honest, if he were Li Ang, he would definitely be moved by the sincerity and determination of the old man.

But to his surprise, Li Ang did not hesitate for too long after listening to all the conditions offered by the old man.

Just before leaving for Shanghai to attend the first fan meeting this summer, Li Ang, who had only considered it for three nights, gave his answer.

“In principle, I agree to return to Real Madrid, but I also have two conditions:

First, after I have communicated with Mr. Roman and Mourinho, Real Madrid’s offer must first meet Chelsea’s needs, and I will not put any form of pressure on Chelsea.

Secondly, if Mr. Chairman wants me to return to Real Madrid, he must let the management first settle the contract renewal with Chris. I need Chris. There will be no relationship split between him and me. We can still be the best midfield and frontcourt partners of Real Madrid!”

Leon’s statement made Mendes overjoyed!

The first condition is easy to say and very reasonable. Leon is a man of friendship, and Mendes would not have suggested that he use tricks to put pressure on Chelsea.

The second condition does not seem so reasonable, but it is the answer Mendes wants most!

After getting Leon’s affirmative statement, Mendes hurriedly flew back to Spain the next day.

Leon, accompanied by his agent team, started a grand summer fan meeting.

The three coastal cities and three inland cities of China have set off a “tourism fever” because of Leon’s business activities.

Fanatical fans from different provinces across the country followed Leon’s activities and flocked to him.

The grand occasion of tens of thousands of people participating in Leon’s autograph meeting also attracted the attention of the global media.

Leon is very tired working in such an environment, but he is also very happy!

Every day, as long as the organizer of the event does not indicate that the time is up, he will try his best to meet the fans’ requirements for autographs and photos.

If his arm muscles are sore, he will take more photos with the fans.

For him, this kind of thing is work, a “task” that can be completed easily.

But for those fans who didn’t know how many provinces they had crossed and how many hours they had taken trains and planes to see him, his kind gesture comforted and moved them.

Is it really worth it?

Li Ang thought it was not worth it.

He felt it was not worth it for these fans. He thought that those who liked him had worked too hard to see him offline.

But these fans regarded him as an idol and thought that his response could bring them more spiritual strength, so he responded to them in a timely manner without complaint.

This is mutual respect and responsibility.

Just like what Ronaldo once said to Li Ang when he participated in the team’s commercial activities, Li Ang still remembers these words in his heart:

Perhaps as professional players, we do not have a very high cultural level, but we must learn to be grateful.

Fans are the fundamental source of the charm of this sport. Without fans, we, the players who are called superstars, are nothing…

It took almost a full month for Li Ang to complete the fan meeting schedule in six domestic cities.

After finishing the business activities, Li Ang planned to return to London first to meet with Abramovich and Mourinho.

It was destined to be difficult to convince them to let him leave Chelsea and return to Real Madrid, but Li Ang was not the kind of person who liked to avoid difficulties.

No matter what the reaction and attitude of Abramovich and Mourinho were, Li Ang decided to convince them first.

But the day before he set off to return to England, some problems arose on Mendes’ side, so that he had to call Ronaldo in advance.

“Are you really determined to leave the Bernabeu, Chris?”

After dialing the phone, Li Ang directly asked Ronaldo’s thoughts.

Ronaldo’s determination to leave the team was beyond Mendes’ expectations, so that Mendes now had to ask Li Ang to help persuade Ronaldo.

After a moment of hesitation on the other end of the phone, Ronaldo seemed to have made up his mind again.

“Yes, little lion, but this has nothing to do with you. If possible, I really look forward to working with you again.

But you know, I told you before that I don’t feel the respect of Mr. Chairman and Real Madrid’s top management!

I am not a money-grubber, but they all think I am obsessed with money. I just want to prove that I am no worse than Messi, but they don’t understand me!”

Talking about this matter again, Ronaldo’s emotions are inevitably excited.

Li Ang comforted him immediately. The honest orange cat with angry hair should be stroked along with his hair…

After some consolation, Li Ang simply released his “big move”.

“In fact, Chris, my current annual salary is not even 25 million, and I don’t plan to increase my salary anymore… Sometimes we don’t have to be better than our opponents in terms of salary. You see, my salary is far less than Messi’s, but am I not as good as Messi now?”

“Of course not! You are about to get your second Ballon d’Or. You and I are of course top players at the same level as Messi!”

Listening to Ronaldo’s slightly arrogant answer, Li Ang smiled and finally persuaded him again.

“So stay, Chris. If Real Madrid doesn’t have you, then most of my reasons for coming back will be missing. I need you, Chris, and Real Madrid fans need you too.

If you also need a reason to stay now, can this reason be me?”

Ronaldo was silent again. Li Ang knew that he was shaken, but he didn’t rush Ronaldo. He just patiently held the phone and continued to wait.

After a while, listening to the seemingly twisted “hmm” from the other end of the phone, Li Ang also grinned.

They still have an unfinished business together.

They are also destined to create a new football miracle together!
