There is a dream called football

A scent of milk came to his nostrils. Following the scent, Li Qiao walked into the kitchen, where Lorinda was making her most famous braised octopus rice with cream.

"It smells so good." Li Qiao hugged Lorinda from behind.

"Haha, let me go, I'm ticklish."

"hey-hey."

Li Qiao deliberately hugged her tighter.

"Let go."

"Ha ha."

"Okay, stop making trouble, I have to ask you for a favor."

"Say it."

"Come with me to Manchester."

"What?"

"Cover."

"What's the meaning?"

It turned out that Li Qiao was ready to accept Ferguson's invitation, but the matter could not be made public yet, so he had to use travel as an excuse to go to Manchester.

What better reason is there than to take your girlfriend on a trip? Even if you meet a reporter, you can always excuse yourself.

After Li Qiao explained clearly, Lorinda turned around and lightly tapped Li Qiao's nose.

"Why does it have to be Manchester United?"

"Go back to Spain, at least be closer to Portugal."

It's hard for Li Qiao to explain. After all, Manchester United was at its peak in the next few years. If he joined such a team, he would be much more likely to win the Ballon d'Or.

"Because Uncle Sosa can get a huge commission."

"Haha, that old man has earned enough, I don't think it's necessary anymore."

Li Qiao hugged Lorinda tightly, "I want to win the Golden Globe Award, but only the best team can give it to me. Can you understand me?"

Lorinda sighed, "Okay, I understand you."

"Is the rice ready? I'm already very hungry."

"hey-hey."

*****

On the streets of Manchester, Lorinda and Li Qiao were walking generously, and Li Qiao knew that there must be reporters following and filming.

The British paparazzi culture can be said to be deeply ingrained, as can be seen from Ronaldo’s many comments.

And most of the stars are victims, Ronaldo, Rooney, Beckham...

"Here we are, the most luxurious department store in Manchester. You'll be shopping here later. Buy more. I'll sneak out through the special aisle first."

"Why do you act like a secret agent?"

Li Qiao smiled and said: "This matter is really important, please be good."

Li Qiao left the department store and took a ride straight to the Carrington base, while Ferguson was waiting in his office.

Walking into Carrington, Li Qiao was still a little excited. This is a place that many football people dream of, and very few players can get into it.

Led by the staff, Li Qiao came to Ferguson's office.

"Dong dong dong."

"sir."

"Please come in."

Ferguson walked around the table, came to Li Qiao, stretched out his hand and said: "Li!"

"sir."

"Call me Alex."

"OK."

"I want two cups of coffee." Ferguson held out two fingers.

"Please take a seat."

Li Qiao felt a little awkward after sitting down, but soon Ferguson started talking.

"How's it going? Have you been followed by the paparazzi?"

"Probably not, I..."

Li Qiao explained his plan to escape from the golden cicada, which made Ferguson laugh.

"You are too smart. If you feel uncomfortable playing football, I should recommend you to join MI6."

"Ha ha."

Li Qiao took a sip of coffee, and Ferguson also started talking.

"How about we have some whiskey."

"You know, before I became the head coach, I owned a bar."

Li Qiao remembered reading the biography of Ferguson in his previous life. He and his wife used to open a bar in Scotland.

According to his own recollection, the bar business was very good, and he later opened a second bar. It was not until he became the head coach and started his career that he gave up the bar business.

"Alex, I don't drink."

Ferguson looked surprised, "Then you are much better than that guy Rooney. My biggest dissatisfaction with Wayne is the nightclub thing. This guy always gets into trouble in this area."

As he spoke, Ferguson pointed in the direction of his crotch.

"Hahaha."

"Hahaha."

Both of them were happy.

"How are you doing at Arsenal?"

"It's actually quite good. Arthur is an excellent head coach. He is a good teacher both on the football field and in life."

Ferguson nodded, "I like Arthur quite a lot. His Arsenal has caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United."

"It's just that... Arsenal's boss is much worse. Their business philosophy is problematic. If they change to a capable boss, Arsenal may become a top club, but it's difficult now."

Li Qiao admired him in his heart. Ferguson was really accurate in seeing things. Wasn't that what happened to Arsenal later on?

Many fans angrily accuse the club of falling into the eyes of money, but the problem is that if the club does not do this, then the results are not guaranteed.

This is a story of fish and bear's paw, it just depends on which one you want?

"I wonder what Arsenal's attitude is?"

Li Qiao smiled slightly.

"Can I first ask what your attitude is?"

Ferguson was happy, "That's right. Let me talk about my attitude first."

"I sincerely hope to acquire you. It should be said that I took action too late. I should have acquired you a year ago."

"At that time, I just wanted to see you temper yourself in other clubs and become more mature, just like Rooney back then."

"Actually, when Wayne first started to emerge at Everton, I had already paid attention to him, but I didn't take action immediately. I had to take another look. The same is true for Cristiano Ronaldo. I will choose a suitable time to take action."

"Alex, when were you planning to take action?"

"Maybe it will be a little later, but I know I can't wait now."

Li Qiao chuckled, "Alex, I'm very grateful for your appreciation of me."

Ferguson patted Li Qiao's thigh and said, "If you doubt the sincerity of Manchester United's acquisition, then I can tell you that it is not necessary. We sincerely invite you to join, and our offer for Arsenal is also sincere."

Li Qiao nodded. In fact, Li Qiao had nothing to doubt about Ferguson's character. Although he was strict and cold, it was all at work, but in private, Ferguson was still very good to the players.

And in terms of business, I have never heard of Manchester United cheating anyone else. Li Qiao absolutely believes in Ferguson's credibility.

"Okay, Alex, I appreciate your honesty, then I can also talk about my situation."

"First of all, I am personally willing to join Manchester United, and the club is willing to let me go, provided that the offer meets their requirements."

"Don't worry, I know Arsenal's asking price is not low."

"One more thing, I heard that Chelsea is also interested in you, and your relationship with Jose is quite good."

Li Qiao was happy again. It seemed that Ferguson was afraid that Chelsea would come out halfway.
