Li Liang's phone rang suddenly, and he was surprised to see that it was Mourinho's call.

Li Liang knows that the work of Magic Bird at Manchester United is extremely stressful, after all, after several consecutive seasons of decline, the Red Devils do not even have the opportunity to participate in the Champions League qualifiers in the new season.

Coupled with the introduction of top stars such as Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Mkhitaryan, the attention and expectations of Manchester United as a traditional Premier League giant and a top club in Europe and the world are too high.

So this makes a coach with a distinctive personality like Mourinho feel a lot of pressure.

Magic Bird has been texting Li Liang more recently, and the sudden call made him feel a little surprised.

Li Liang pointed to Gaudino's phone, and Gaudino smiled and nodded—Li Liang's politeness made the old man very satisfied.

After exchanging greetings, the magic bird cut straight to the point: "Tell me, Lee, what the hell is going on?" Why haven't you been able to play lately? ”

Li Liang was a little moved, except for the big bear, Xiaoyu and the brothers in "Green Sunset Red", Mourinho was the first person to call to ask about him.

He told Magic Bird that Yaldim's explanation for this was the need for the team's overall style of play.

Mourinho was silent for a long time and said: "Li, I don't know much about the inside story, but if you can't play for a long time now, it will make your future development and even let those clubs that are interested in you re-evaluate you!"

My suggestion is that you should continue to have an in-depth conversation with Jardim, and if that hasn't changed after Christmas, I'm afraid there are other reasons for this! ”

The two exchanged a few words, and the magic bird hung up the phone.

Gaudino looked at Li Liang appreciatively, he keenly noticed that Li Liang's mood was a little low, so he said to Li Liang: "Good guy, Li, you speak Portuguese so well!" ”

Li Liang was taken aback: "Claudio, you also know Portuguese?" ”

Gaudino smiled slyly: "It's just a few words, I used to bring a troublesome guy called Paulo Sousa, and now even this guy is a coach!"

He taught me a few words. And when I was in China, those Brazilian tricksters...... By the way, Lee, you seem to be in a bad mood! ”

Li Liang stopped, he looked at the smiling Gaudino, and couldn't help but say: "Claudio, it was Coach Mourinho who called just now, and he asked me ......"

Gaudino listened carefully, and he was a little moved by Li Liang's trust in himself.

It wasn't until Li Liang finished speaking that Gaudino spoke: "Li, many great players have had such a painful experience.

Many times any reaction is part of what makes them great. ”

Li Liang said: "Coach Yaldim wanted me to make a change, and the last time I played against Bordeaux, Tulalang asked me to continue to train hard.

Just now Mourinho asked me to continue to communicate with Jardim. Claudio, what do you say I should do? ”

Gaudino smiled: "What they say makes sense.

Lee, have you thought about how to play against Manchester City? Ever wondered how to play against the mighty David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne? ”

Li Liang replied without hesitation: "I will redouble my training efforts, take out everything I have in the competition, and do my best!" ”

Gaudino sighed softly: "Li, you are a rare genius, I have not seen a player like you for many years, and in your first season, you can reach the height that many professional players can't reach in a lifetime!"

But have you thought about it? When you meet a player who is taller than you, faster than you, stronger than you and more agile than you, who is also far better at the feet and more talented than you -

By the way, and when they're training harder than you've ever been through, and they're more willing to give everything when they're competing, have you ever thought about what to do? ”

Li Liang was stunned all of a sudden, and he immediately remembered his confusion in college.

When I bought a second-hand bicycle for 150 yuan, I suddenly found that a classmate I knew had a Ferrari.

Then the handsome rich man who drove a Ferrari was able to get a grade scholarship, and when he graduated from undergraduate, he had already completed two degrees, successfully passed various exams and was admitted to a prestigious foreign school, and later I heard that he also got a full scholarship.

After listening to Gaudino's description, Li Liang suddenly recalled how he felt when he was in college facing that handsome man who studied extremely hard and hard.

That was the first time Li Liang believed in the existence of such a thing as "fate", and it was the first time that he had a sense of resignation.

The gorgeous world I longed for when I was a teenager, the magnificent path of life, it turned out to be really there—but it didn't belong to me.

If Gaudino said that this kind of player really exists, then what should he do when facing such a god-like opponent?

Gaudino coughed, Li Liang woke up from his memories violently, and he whispered: "Claudio, is it only such a player who can win the Champions League?" ”

Gaudino muttered, "Well, this guy has won 3 Champions Leagues...... But he didn't have a monopoly on all the championships! ”

Li Liang was taken aback, and suddenly understood who Gaudino was talking about! He asked suspiciously: "Claudio, are you talking about Ronaldo!?" ”

Gaudino said solemnly: "Who else can there be!"

However, Lee, when you understand why such a perfect Ronaldo can't absolutely rule the world, you will be able to solve your own problems!

By the way, in between, don't forget what you promised me—"

The topic changed too quickly, and just now I was discussing the mysteries of the universe and the true meaning of life, and in the blink of an eye, I returned to the familiar and indescribable rhythm.

Looking at Li Liang, whose face turned red, Gaudino laughed again.

……

Before the start of the training session the day before the match against Rennes, everyone was talking about the draw for the Champions League.

Li Liang did not join the discussion, but he listened carefully, and most people thought that Monaco's signing was not good.

Many team-mates are talking about the superstars of David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany, while others are talking about Manchester City's new manager Pep Guardiola this season.

Although he didn't say it thoroughly, Li Liang felt that the atmosphere didn't seem to be very optimistic.

Falcao laughed loudly: "Don't be afraid, boys, if we kill Manchester City, then their boss will definitely take a fancy to you, and then you will be able to go to the Premier League!" ”

Everyone laughed, and Falcao then shouted, "Silva, don't look at anyone else, you're just talking about you!" ”

Everyone laughed even more.

Jardim and Gaudino arrived at the training ground together, and everyone saw that their head coach was respectful and respectful to the old Italian.

After the training session, Gaudino who was watching from the side stopped Li Liang and whispered: "Get ready, you will get a chance to play in tomorrow's game!" ”

Li Liang asked in surprise, "Really?" But the starting list has been decided, and I'm a substitute! ”

Gaudino smiled: "Even if you come off for one minute, you have to play it as if it were the most important game, and I will watch it from the stands."

Li, how much ability you have, you can take it all out! ”
