There is a dream called football

To be honest, the only player in the Premier League who can raise the price with Manchester United is the tycoon Chelsea. At this time, the other tycoon Manchester City has not yet appeared, so Chelsea is the only opponent that Ferguson is worried about.

"Alex, are you worried about me going to Chelsea?"

"I have to say that Chelsea is the only one that can compete with us in terms of money, so I can't say that there are no such worries."

Li Qiao took another sip of coffee.

"Then I can tell you that such worries are somewhat unnecessary. I will not go to Chelsea. If I leave Arsenal, my only choice is to come to Manchester United."

Li Qiao's decisive answer and his determined expression surprised Ferguson.

Chelsea is also a wealthy club, why they don't even consider it, so when things go to the extreme, people will wonder.

"This is strange to me, can you tell me something?"

Li Qiao thought to himself, Mourinho will be fired soon, Chelsea will be in turmoil, I would be stupid to go at this time.

Of course, you can't say this, otherwise you will be regarded as crazy.

"Alex, do you want to hear the truth?"

"certainly."

"I don't like Chelsea's eagerness for quick success, and I also think money is not the only thing about football."

Ferguson's eyes widened and he looked very surprised.

He didn't expect that a 20-year-old young man could say such a great truth. That was because the old man didn't know that Li Qiao had read his own memoirs.

"All right."

"Sir, I want to know your positioning of me at Manchester United."

Ferguson chuckled, "Do you want to hear the truth? It's a bit cruel."

"certainly."

Ferguson poured himself some more coffee.

"Both Wayne and Cristiano are a bit restless, and these things are hidden under the surface. If the club can't do without them, then I can't control them, so I have to find a way to control them."

"I want them to understand one thing, that is, no matter who leaves Manchester United, it will be the same."

Li Qiao understood that Ferguson did not buy him to strengthen the team. It should be said that Manchester United was already very strong at this time.

It is about controlling the ace in the team. For example, if Cristiano Ronaldo proposes a salary increase or transfer, Ferguson can definitely force him.

Li Qiao was silent for a while, and Ferguson chuckled, "Isn't the truth a bit cruel?"

"No, I think you are right, and a team that relies on one or two people is inherently dangerous. Even if they don't make trouble, they may get injured, so I can completely prove my ability by myself."

Ferguson was happy again, "You are really different. You are the same person as Wayne and Cristiano, the kind of people who are full of confidence and believe that they can succeed."

"hehe."

That's what Li Qiao was thinking. Teams like Manchester United have many games, and it's hard to say who will be the substitute for whom in the end.

"I'll treat you to a meal at Carrington."

Li Qiao accepted the invitation, had a simple lunch with Ferguson, and then left the base.

"Hey, it's been three hours since Li Qiao entered. Is this department store so fun?"

"Fool, there is a restaurant inside, so you must eat there."

"Really? When you say that, I'm still hungry."

"Ha ha."

"Then I'll buy hot dogs."

In the department store, the bored Lorinda was stirring the spoon in the cafe inside the department store, and the coffee had already gone cold.

The waiter came over and asked several times if he wanted to change his drink.

"No, thank you."

At this moment, Li Qiao came back, "I want it, give me a drink."

"You still know how to come back."

"What are you talking about?" Li Qiao chuckled.

"If you hadn't told me in advance, I would have thought you were picking up girls."

"Pick up girls? My own girlfriend is so beautiful, it's enough for me to pick up girls."

"Haha, get out."

"By the way, how was the discussion?"

"It went quite smoothly. Everyone was open and honest with each other. Alex is a very honest person. He told me what he really thought."

"What's the idea?"

Li Qiao said everything, Lorinda slapped the table, "Should I ask you to be a substitute?"

"It's not a substitute, it's a supplement."

"Yes, he is a substitute."

"I'm not a substitute, I'm a supplement. My position is the same as Ronaldo's."

"Why can't I see it?"

"Then you don't agree with me leaving?"

Lorinda shook her head, "No, I don't understand this either. It's just that I'm a little puzzled by your return to substitute status."

Li Qiao laughed in his heart. He couldn't explain this clearly. Later, Manchester United introduced Pogba at such a high price, and he was not the main player in every game. This is football. All people and things must be carried out around the team's goals.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How will we behave when we leave later? Do you want me to behave like a supermodel?"

"Then let's get over it, just be normal."

"Understood, Darling."

sweat.

*****

"Come out, come out."

"Big and small bags."

"Damn, it's really as simple as buying something."

"We've been waiting for so long and haven't been able to get any news at all. It's really pitiful."

"How about we go up there and try our luck."

Generally speaking, reporters will pester you. If the celebrity is in a good mood, they will chat with you. This is news.

These two paparazzi also made a desperate move.

They hurried up to talk to him.

"plum."

"plum."

"We are from the London Evening Post, can we interview you?"

"No, I'm shopping with my girlfriend."

"Why choose Manchester for shopping? London is a shopping paradise, there is everything there."

"Do you like pizza?" Li Qiao asked abruptly.

The reporter is Monk Zhang Er, who is confused.

"like."

"So do you like burgers?"

"like."

"In other words, you like burgers and pizza, so why can't I like shopping in London and Manchester at the same time?"

"There are rumors outside that you are connected with Manchester United."

"Haha, what kind of connection? I think this story is so outrageous that it would be difficult for you to make it up."

"Are you really just here for vacation?"

Li Qiao waved and a taxi stopped, "Okay, this is my private time, please don't disturb me."

"Thank you."

After getting in the car, Li Qiao and Lorinda looked at each other and smiled, "Haha."

"How did I perform?"

“Pretty good.”

"What about me?"

"Very calm."

Lorinda smiled and said: "Then where should we go next?"

"Go back to London."

"Go back immediately?"

"Of course, those reporters were right about one thing, that is, London is indeed more prosperous."

"All right."

Arriving at the place where the vehicle was stored, Lorinda drove her own blue BMW SUV and drove slowly out of Manchester. Li Qiao knew that he would be back soon.
