Pearl Kempinski, Doha, Qatar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this luxury hotel, Leon met his target this time, former Real Madrid captain Fernando Hierro, accompanied by Hierro's agent Vecchico.

Hierro's contract with Qatar's Layan has expired, and he is now hesitating whether to renew his contract with the Qatari club, of course, according to Leon's known future, Hierro also received an offer from Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League, and in the end, the Spanish veteran chose to go to Bolton Wanderers to contribute.

This shows that Hierro is considering returning to the mainstream league, and Hierro is now a free agent, and it doesn't cost a penny to sign the experienced veteran, which is a big reason why Leon has Hierro as a target.

In addition, for Sporting Gijón, who have been away from Spain's top flight for too long, the team really needs an experienced veteran to sit at the helm, and what better fit than the former Real Madrid captain?!

"Fernando, my intention to come to Qatar this time is what Mr. Vecchio has already told you. Please believe in the sincerity of me and Sporting Gijón, and I believe that this year in Qatar, you will also miss La Liga very much. Leon began to use his incorruptible tongue, hoping to impress Hierro.

Before he came to Qatar, he communicated with Hierro's agent Vecchico, and he believed that Hierro had already told Hierro about the situation of Sporting Gijón, so Leon no longer said anything about Sporting Gijón being able to play in the League Cup and the like, and for the Real Madrid captain who led Real Madrid to lift the Champions Cup twice, the League Cup or something is really not worth mentioning.

All he has to do now is impress Hierro with sincerity.

***********

"Sporting Gijón is a young team, the players are young and their manager is young. Leon said and pointed to himself, which drew a knowing smile from Hierro and his agent, Vecchico.

"For a team like this, we need a veteran and a real leader. Leon continued, "And Fernando, you're the one I would most like to hire on the team. ”

Hierro couldn't help but laugh again when he heard this, and the head coach of Sporting Gijón admitted that he was very frank and said everything very frankly.

"But I'm really old. "I've been away from the Europa League for more than a year......

"No, no, no. Leon thought that the other party had misunderstood him and said that the other party was old, so he said anxiously, "In my opinion, Fernando, you still have ambition in your chest, I can feel it." ”

"Some of the things I said may be a bit presumptuous, but they are from my heart. Li Ang said very sincerely.

Hierro nodded, meaning but it didn't hurt.

"Presumably Mr. Vecchiko has told you about me, too. Leon said and glanced at Mr. Agent, who nodded in response, and then continued, "I have a similar background to you, I used to be the coach of Real Madrid, but I ended up being swept away, but I think I did a good job there, and this kind of experience makes me very painful, and speaking of which, I have a grudge against Real Madrid. ”

Hierro glanced at Leon and did not speak, but listened in silence.

***********

"When I left Real Madrid, I said I would make Real Madrid regret it. Leon took a sip of water and sighed with some emotion, "Then in the Copa del Rey, I successfully took revenge once, at the Bernabeu, snatched the Copa del Rey trophy from Real Madrid!"

Hearing this, Hierro seemed to be a little distracted, the name Bernabeu is not just a noun for Hierro, the white shirt, and the stadium have been integrated into his blood and soul.

"I watched the game. Hierro came back to his senses and said, "You guys played great, Real Madrid ......"

Speaking of which, Hierro paused and did not continue, anyway, seeing his beloved Real Madrid snatched the trophy by a La Liga team, or at the Bernabeu Stadium, made the veteran one of the greatest captains in Real Madrid's history a little sad.

"I don't know what you think. "However, I do have an idea, I hope you can come to my team, go back to La Liga, and let that gentleman see how wrong his decision was! I want to see you take a group of young people and make a storm in La Liga......" Leon himself seemed to be immersed in this wonderful idea, "It must be beautiful." ”

Hierro frowned.

Leon was stunned in his heart, he was wondering if it was a little bad for him to say this, he knew Hierro's feelings for Real Madrid.

However, Leon drove away this bad feeling, he told the truth, in the face of a veteran like Hierro, who is used to all kinds of storms and scenes, all he can do is to express his confession.

He said what he could say and did his own efforts, and the rest, whatever.

And, to be honest, Leon doesn't believe that Hierro is treated so ruthlessly by Florentino, Hierro will not have a little bit of mustard in his heart, although Hierro has been silent since leaving Real Madrid, and has not said a bad word about his beloved team, but his resentment towards Florentino cannot be without.

In Hierro's heart, Florentino is Florentino and Real Madrid is Real Madrid.

***********

After saying those words, Leon did not continue to mention inviting Hierro to Sporting Gijón.

He has already said everything that should be said, and the rest depends on Hierro's choice.

Then, the three of them began to have dinner and chat.

Talk about Spanish football, talk about the past European Championship, talk about Hierro's year in Qatar.

It can be said that the guests and the host are happy.

After bidding farewell to Hierro and Vecchico, Leon returned to the luxurious room of the hotel alone, looking at the bustling scene outside the window through the floor-to-ceiling windows, a little distracted.

The more Li Ang thought about it, the more he felt that the former Real Madrid captain was a player that Sporting Gijón needed very much.

Hierro's experience is an asset that the team needs.

In addition, in my memory, Hierro played in the season he played in Bolton, and his performance was quite good, that is, although he left the mainstream European league for a season, Hierro's competitive form was still good. This is also where Leon is very relieved about Hierro.

***********

The next morning, Leon received a call from Hierro's agent, Vicko.

On the phone, the agent told him about Hierro's decision.

"Coach Leon. "Now, I think we have a chance to work together." ”

Leon was almost ecstatic, he understood the meaning of the sentence, and Hierro agreed, agreeing to go to Gijón.

"Thank you, Mr. Vecchico, for conveying my thanks to Fernando on my behalf for choosing Gijón. ”

"It's me who should thank you. "I know that Fernando has been unhappy since he left Madrid, and now he has the opportunity to return to Spain, and now he has the opportunity to tell Florentino that decision was extremely wrong." ”

"That's what I want to see. Leon said with a smile, "Such a meritorious captain should not be treated like that, Real Madrid owes him an explanation." ”

"Thank you Fernando for those fair words. Vecko concluded.

Leon was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that Vecchio was referring to the Copa del Rey final between Sporting Gijón and Real Madrid, when Leon criticized Real Madrid's Zidane + Pavon policy, criticizing Florentino's treatment of Hierro as wrong. At that time, Leon's purpose was to provoke Florentino, and he didn't think too much about it, but now it seems that it is really 'good people have good rewards', and it seems that this time Hierro agreed to go to Gijón, without the influence of his fair words.

At noon on the same day, Li Ang officially signed a contract with Hierro on behalf of Sporting Gijón Club.

Hierro and Sporting Gijón signed a one-plus-one contract, Hierro signed with Sporting Gijón for one season, and after one season, both parties felt that the cooperation was pleasant, and Hierro's physical condition and competitive state allowed, and the contract will be automatically renewed for one year.

And given Sporting Gijón's financial situation, Hierro didn't ask for a high salary, his salary is one million euros a year, which is much less than what he gets in Qatar.

Of course, the annual salary of one million euros is also the highest in Sporting Gijón now. With such a salary from both sides, although the number is not high, it also shows Hierro's status in Sporting Gijón to a certain extent, as Leon said before, Hierro will be the leader of Sporting Gijón!

***********

Two days later, Sporting Gijón's official website announced a shocking news for Spanish football.

"We are delighted to announce that the team is honoured to have reached an agreement with the famous Spanish player Fernando Hierro to join the team, and the two parties have signed a one-year contract, which will be renewed for another year, depending on Hierro's personal wishes and the wishes of the team. ”

Hierro's return shocked the entire Spanish football world.

The "As" newspaper, which has always had an old grudge against Li Ang, used this headline on their front page: Forever No. 4, goodbye to the white robes!

This time, for the first time, the Spanish media who did not deal with Leon did not speak ill of Leon, and even the Real Madrid fans who were once angry with Leon because Sporting Gijón took away Real Madrid's Copa del Rey trophy and those outrageous words were silent this time: their beloved captain is back, but it's just ......

The news on Sporting Gijón's official website shows a photo of former Real Madrid captain Fernando Hierro and Leon standing together with a photo holding a Gijón jersey.

The number of this shirt is the same as the number of Hierro used to be at Real Madrid - number four, the only difference is that it is no longer the white shirt of Real Madrid, but now the red and white shirt of Sporting Gijón. (To be continued.) )
