Young Football Player

The first meeting between Jackie Lee and the management of Schalke turned out to be ideal, which made Barnett unable to sit still immediately after receiving the news, and soon bought a plane ticket to China.

So after Li Chenglong took his two younger sisters to play in Shanghai for two days, Barnett also arrived.

Immediately after meeting at the hotel, Barnett couldn't help complaining: "Bruce, didn't I tell you that we only consider giants for teams outside the Premier League?"

"But I think Schalke 04 is also good, they are very sincere, and they can play in the Champions League next season."

"There are plenty of teams that can play in the Champions League. Even if you want to play outside the Premier League, it's not the only choice. Recently, people from Paris Saint-Germain have also approached me. They also want you. They are European football. Whether it is the transfer fee or the salary, the newly promoted local tyrants will definitely be more generous than Schalke 04."

"Then besides Paris, is there no other good news?" Li Chenglong asked.

"People from Aston Villa have also looked for me, but they have been reduced to a relegation team. They are looking for you because they want you to help lead the team to relegation. You may not want to go."

"But I do have good news. Ed Woodward, Manchester United's financial director, approached me personally and he invited you to join Manchester United."

"Woodward?" Li Chenglong said strangely, he still knew San Dezi's name.

"Yes, don't look at him as the chief financial officer, but he has the trust of the Glazer family. As soon as David Gill leaves, he will be the new CEO of Manchester United." ァ新ヤ~⑧~1 ~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

Barnett is quite popular in the UK and knows everyone.

"The Glazer family has long been dissatisfied with David Gill, but because of Ferguson's support, they can't do anything about him. But in the past two years, Ferguson's health has become worse and worse, and retirement has been put on the agenda."

"As soon as Ferguson retires, David Gill will definitely leave with him, and Woodward will be able to succeed. So if you go to Manchester United now, you will have many opportunities in the future."

Well, it turned out that San Dezi wanted to recruit people in advance to prepare for the succession, so he fell in love with Li Chenglong.

"Then if I go to Manchester United like this, won't it be easy to fall into their internal struggle and be targeted by Ferguson?" Li Chenglong asked.

"It may take a year or two to wait, but as soon as Ferguson retires, your chance will come. With Woodward's support, even with the same performance, you can get more publicity, and even perform slightly better. You There is still a chance to become Manchester United's leading star." Barnett is desperately drawing a beautiful blueprint.

"Forget it, I just want to play football well, and I don't want to participate in those intrigues." Li Chenglong refused in his heart.

Moreover, as a young player like Lee Cheng Long, if he rashly gets involved in the internal struggles of a giant like Manchester United, he might be ruined by others.

"Then you can have other choices. Even Paris Saint-Germain is better than Schalke 04. Why should you choose them?"

"Because I feel like at Schalke 04 I can make a difference..."

In the past two days, Li Chenglong really thought about it seriously. Although Schalke 04 has sincerity, it is not the sincerity of others, so he must repay it with his own body.

The main reason is that Jackie Lee feels that going to Schalke 04 can make a difference.

First of all, Schalke 04 has not been very successful since the establishment of the Bundesliga. Schalke's glorious history is all before the establishment of the Bundesliga.

Since the establishment of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04, as a powerhouse in the Bundesliga, has never won the Bundesliga championship. The best thing in team history is a Europa League championship.

When Schalke 04 won the German Cup in 2011, Gelsenkirchen was as happy as the New Year.

They really have the name of a powerful team, but they don't have much honor.

If you can lead this kind of team to rise, it will definitely be very convincing. If you can lead the team to win the Bundesliga or the Champions League, you may become an absolute city hero like Maradona is to Naples.

And one more thing, Schalke 04's current lineup is not bad.

The Schalke 04 team currently has second-rate stars such as Draxler, Huntelaar, and Matip, as well as powerful players such as Hewedes, Kolasinac, and Fox. The youth team also has the famous German Genius Sane.

If they hadn't sold Neuer to Bayern last year, Li Chenglong felt that he would have trouble with Bayern immediately after joining in.

Therefore, the overall lineup of the Schalke 04 team is not weak, only a backbone player who can make the final decision.

There is no doubt that Li Chenglong feels that he is their backbone. If he can recruit two more suitable helpers, he can do a lot in the Bundesliga.

Taking a step back, even if you really can't make a career, it's just training in the Bundesliga. After two years of training, you become famous and switch to a wealthy family. The loss is not big.

So if you think about it carefully, if you fail, you will not lose much, but if you succeed, you can become a hero like Maradona. Why not do such a good thing?

Jackie Lee finally persuaded Barnett to let him discuss the transfer with the Schalke management.

Time entered July, and Jackie Lee also returned to Europe.

After returning to London for a short rest, Jackie Lee rushed to St. George's Park in Staffordshire, western England.

This is the training base of the England national team. It is known as the most luxurious football training base in the world, with a cost of more than 100 million pounds.

The Premier League is very profitable, and the FA is also very profitable.

Regardless of the long-term poor performance of the England national team, the FA makes more money every year through the use of national team endorsements and other means than those national teams such as Brazil, Argentina, and Spain combined.

It is precisely because of the money that they can be so lavish, spending tens of millions to renovate the stadium, and spending more than a billion to repair the training base.

Even the salary of the head coach of the England national team has long been ranked first in the world football national team coach salary list.

This is also one of the rare times in English football that can always compete for the first place.

However, although the training ground is luxurious, the players who train in it seem to be of a low level.

After Lee Chenglong successfully checked into the luxury hotel-like St. George's Park, Southgate rushed over.

"Bruce, you're finally back."

"Isn't there someone else who hasn't arrived yet?" Li Chenglong asked for it on purpose, and he wasn't the last one to arrive.

"Apart from you, the only ones who haven't arrived are Ryan Giggs and Ramsey."

Li Chenglong understood that the two of them are big-name players, and it should be in the end.

But Li Chenglong is not well-known and came so late, it shouldn't be. starter

Sure enough, when Jackie Lee went to participate in the training, Pierce immediately slapped him in the face and assigned him directly to the substitute team.

Now it is the period of the European Cup, the players who are really capable are basically going to play the European Cup, and those who are preparing for the Olympics are basically weird.

In this way, Li Chenglong was placed on the substitute team, not to throw face or something.
