Chapter 458
"By the way...Mr. Li, the villa in Aveiro is right next to the hotel where I'm staying."
As soon as the words fell.
The three people in the car focused their eyes on Mendes at the same time.
Right next to the hotel where you're staying?
Isn't this distance... a little too close! ?
Li Shiguang, who was originally leaning comfortably on the back seat, even sat up straight.
"You mean... the place where Cristiano and I chat is right next to you and Ferguson?" After being surprised, Li Shiguang's eyes had an inexplicable excitement, "Jorge, why didn't I realize that you were so brave before?"
Before Mendes answered, Allen, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned his head and looked at Li Shiguang and asked, "Boss, do you need to change places?"
As the most loyal person in the entire Leeds United, he will always put Li Shiguang first.
Allen didn't think as much as Mendes and Li Shiguang. He only knew that the English Football Association strictly prohibited direct private contact with players without the club during the non-transfer period, and when his boss met with the player, the head coach of the other club was next door.
If Ferguson accidentally discovered this, it would still be a big blow to Li Shiguang's reputation.
"No need." Li Shiguang shook his head with a smile on his face, "It's just that the hotel is next to the house he bought, not the next table, so there's no need to worry about it."
"There's nothing we can do about it." Seeing that Allen had some objections, Mendes also hurried to explain, "After all, it's not the off-season now. Given Alex's strict management of the team, if he wasn't eager to talk to me about Cristiano's contract renewal, I don't think he would agree to bring Cristiano out."
"And Alex knows that Aveiro has a property in Nyon, and Cristiano invited him to dinner before. If I booked a hotel too far away from Aveiro's home, Alex would probably be suspicious."
What Mendes said does make sense. Ferguson is not a rookie. What dark side of football has he not seen?
Originally, this kind of informal contract renewal negotiation would not be a problem even if Ronaldo was present.
If Mendes forced an excuse to send Ronaldo far away, maybe Ferguson would really think about it. After all, the draw ceremony for the Champions League quarterfinals will be held today. The most powerful bosses in Europe are gathered in Nyon. Who knows where Ronaldo will meet with whom if he is out of his sight! ?
Li Shiguang understood the intention of Mendes' arrangement from the beginning.
In fact, for Li Shiguang, it is undoubtedly an extremely exciting experience to be able to dig out his most valued disciple in a place so close to Ferguson!
He did not have the worry in Allen's heart at all, but only an inexplicable sense of expectation.
The space in the car is large enough.
Lying back on the backrest, Li Shiguang crossed his legs: "What about Cristiano? Did you tell him that you would meet me tonight?"
"No." Mendes replied immediately, "Mr. Li, I remember you told me last time not to tell Cristiano that Leeds United wanted to introduce him."
"That's good."
Li Shiguang nodded with satisfaction.
Suddenly I was looking forward to Ronaldo's expression when he saw me at home tonight...
····
Because it was still early, and in order to avoid being in the crowd, Mendes did not take Li Shiguang and the other two directly to the UEFA headquarters. After parking the car in the hotel parking lot, Li Shiguang and the other two parted ways with Mendes.
After lunch, the three of them wandered around Nyon aimlessly and felt the beautiful scenery of Lake Geneva.
At 4:30 in the afternoon.
Li Shiguang brought Rivaldo and Allen to the UEFA headquarters on time. As soon as they stepped into the draw ceremony venue under the guidance of the staff, Li Shiguang saw Ferguson, who was sitting in the first row, chatting enthusiastically with Rijkaard, who was sitting on his right, and Ronaldo, who was sitting on Ferguson's left.
Ferguson was in a good mood today.
Mainly because he had been having a bit too smooth life recently.
In the league, Manchester United won three consecutive games and now ranks behind Leeds United with 68 points, which is 69 points. Leeds United also defeated Arsenal at home yesterday, which made Ferguson feel relieved. At least the pressure in the future is much less.
In the Champions League, he defeated the annoying Portuguese and successfully led Manchester United into the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
And this year's list of the quarterfinals also surprised Ferguson. Traditional giants such as Real Madrid and AC Milan were blocked from the quarterfinals.
To be honest.
Now among the seven teams in the quarterfinals, except for Leeds United led by Li Shiguang, Ferguson is not sure of winning.
Others.
Ferguson feelsWith Manchester United's current state this season, reaching the semi-finals is a sure thing!
But these are not the things that make the old Sir Alex happy.
Today, Ferguson always has a smile on his face. The main reason is that the contract renewal between Ronaldo and Manchester United, which has been stagnant for a long time, finally has the possibility of progressing!
The reason why Manchester United's performance this season is so good and so stable.
In Ferguson's view.
It is mainly because of Ronaldo.
After more than four years and nearly five years of training by himself, this talented boy who used to play football too flamboyantly has finally matured!
Although Ronaldo sometimes has some very personal performances on the court, it is much better than in previous seasons.
Ronaldo's performance has been steadily improving, which is a good thing for Manchester United.
But the problems that followed also gave Ferguson a headache.
Such a player who is destined to become the most dazzling star in world football will definitely not lack suitors.
Since last year.
Manchester United receives inquiries about Ronaldo almost every month. Although they never agree, these calls make Ferguson extremely unhappy for one or two days every month.
At the same time.
The contract renewal negotiations between Manchester United and Ronaldo, which started at the beginning of last year, were also shelved because of Mendes's sky-high asking price.
To be honest.
If I hadn't received the call from Mendes a few days ago.
Ferguson is really worried that Ronaldo will be poached by other clubs after the end of this season...
