At noon on February 14, both Li Liang and Da Xiong began to pack their belongings in their rooms. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the day came, there was suddenly some reluctance.

Vieira and Reina spoke to both of them separately, and the result was nothing surprising.

Big Bear was so excited that he had already agreed to New York City's invitation. He discussed with Lao Xu, and now the big leagues are the best opportunity to play directly in the game.

But New York City also tactfully suggested that they are unlikely to offer a long-term contract to a veteran like Big Bear.

When Da Xiong heard this, he was in the middle of his heart, and he still hoped that he would have the opportunity to go to Europe.

Li Liang unsurprisingly declined the invitation. As expected, although Vieira was a little regretful, he still blessed Li Liang very generously.

The two said goodbye to the young and old of New York City one by one. Latanchio gave Li Liang a thick stack of CDs, and he told Li Liang that there were some game videos and some analysis materials inside, and he hoped that Li Liang would take the time to take a good look at them.

Cook gave Li Liang a piece of information, which listed in detail Li Liang's training plan and precautions for strengthening his physical fitness and body in the later period.

When saying goodbye to his teammates, everyone sent sincere wishes to Li Liang.

Both Pirlo and Villa expressed the hope that Li Liang would sign a satisfactory contract as soon as possible, and they would definitely come to cheer him on in the future.

Lampard quietly pulled Li Liang aside and asked: "Lee, what's your plan next?" ”

Li Liang replied frankly: "There are no plans for the time being, and I may have to contact some club representatives in the next few days." ”

Frank Lampard laughed: "In that case, you can go to London to find me, I won't go to New York for a while."

In about 10 days' time, I'm organising a charity match at Stamford Bridge, can you join us? ”

Li Liang thought for a moment and replied, "Thank you Frank, I'm going to discuss it with my companions before replying to you, okay?" ”

Lampard nodded: "Well, I'm looking forward to you being in this game as well, call me when you're decided!" ”

Li Liang and Da Xiong said goodbye to the Manchester City base, and this unforgettable 10-day experience.

This day is the traditional Valentine's Day in the West, sitting in the car and looking at the various propaganda on the street and the couples holding bouquets, Li Liang suddenly reacted, he bought a large bouquet of red roses downstairs in the hotel.

It was also the first time in his life.

As soon as he saw Xiaoyu, he handed her the rose, Xiaoyu was very happy, took the rose and hugged Li Liang tightly in front of everyone.

Except for Xiaoli's expression, everyone else responded with a smile and enthusiastic applause.

Although in a foreign country, everyone felt that Li Liang and Da Xiong seemed to have returned triumphantly.

Lao Xu and Adams have communicated many times, and they have carefully planned all of Li Liang's next plans.

That evening, it was originally scheduled to have dinner with Mourinho. Mourinho hopes to have a separate chat with Li Liang after dinner.

Lao Xu quietly reminded Li Liang that he would meet an important person - Jose Mourinho in the evening, which will very likely determine the direction of Li Liang's future career.

What he didn't expect was that Li Liang said apologetically: "Brother Xu, can you help me tell Mourinho, I want to invite Xiaoyu to dinner tonight, can I meet him tomorrow?" ”

Lao Xu's expression slowly froze, and his mouth became an "O" shape: "Liangzi, what are you talking about?" This is Mourinho, the biggest coach we can get our hands on! If he takes a fancy to you, then you won't have to worry about it in the future!

I've heard that he's likely to take over Louis van Gaal's next step and take charge of Manchester United next season, so you have to think about it! Meeting him, this is an opportunity that many people have ever dreamed of! ”

Unexpectedly, Li Liang had always been stubborn, and Lao Xu had no choice but to dial Adams's phone.

Mourinho, who was waiting with Adams in the restaurant, couldn't help but laugh when he heard Adams apologetically say that Li Liang had an urgent matter at night.

He laughed and said to Adams, "By the way, I've forgotten what day it is." I'm sorry Tony, but you had to have dinner with me on such a romantic day......"

Both burst out laughing.

Although it seemed relaxed, Mourinho's heart sank, and he had a hunch that tomorrow's meeting would certainly not go as smoothly as expected.

After an unforgettable candlelit dinner with Xiaoyu, the two strolled the streets of Manchester hand in hand.

Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Liangzi, how did you do it?" Let so many people applaud and cheer you on? ”

Li Liang scratched the back of his head: "I can't say clearly, I didn't have any complicated thoughts at that time, I just didn't want to lose."

I've come all the way to the point, and I'm always thinking, 'It's good to hold on a little longer,' as if I just hold on a little bit more every time, I'm getting closer and closer to my wishes." ”

The meeting with Mourinho was rescheduled for the next morning, and the two parties agreed to have breakfast together at the restaurant of the hotel where Mourinho was staying.

Lao Xu got up early and was ready, he was obviously a little nervous.

Lao Xu knows very well that if it weren't for Li Liang, it would be difficult for him to have such a close contact with such a world-class coach.

But what made him a little puzzled was that Li Liang seemed very indifferent, and he was unhurried after leaving the door of the room.

On the way, Lao Xu repeatedly reminded Li Liang that in addition to New York City, which had already refused, there were six clubs that had proposed to recruit Li Liang. But Mourinho has repeatedly shown that he does not represent any club, he purely represents himself.

So far, only two people have offered to meet Li Liang directly, and Mourinho is the only manager among them.

"Liangzi, this is an absolute 'big name' in the coach, and the fact that people can come to you in person shows that he is really sincere!"

Li Liang looked at Lao Xu and replied: "Well, but it seems that he has time now (Mourinho is in a state of leisure)?" The other coaches are busy preparing for the game, right? ”

Lao Xu was a little disappointed, he obviously felt that Li Liang didn't seem to be as enthusiastic about Mourinho as he was.

They arrived with Adams at the place. Mourinho deliberately chose a very secluded location.

Looking at this gray-haired figure from a distance, Li Liang felt a little dazed.

Mourinho looks very quiet, very different from the unruly, violent, irritable and even very mean, snarky image he is familiar with on TV and the Internet.

As soon as he saw the three of them, Mourinho got up with a smile and shook hands with them one by one.

Li Liang held Mourinho's hand, feeling so unreal.

It wasn't until he saw the real person that he reacted-

It's really Mourinho!

Completely different from the superficial indifference, after returning to the hotel room yesterday, Li Liang carefully searched for all the information about Mourinho and carefully did his homework for today's meeting.

Jose Mourinho, fluent in eight Chinese, has led four different league teams to eight league titles, 11 cup titles, two Champions League titles and one UEFA Cup (the predecessor of the Europa League).

He is unbeaten in 150 league games in nine years, including 77 at home in the Premier League, and the record for the highest number of points (95) and the fewest goals conceded (15) in the Premier League in 2004/05.

At the age of 49 years and 12 days, he became the youngest coach to reach 100 Champions League appearances.

He has won the best coach in the Portuguese Premier League, English Premier League, Serie A and La Liga, UEFA Coach of the Year four times, the best coach in the world by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) four times, the best coach in the world at the first FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2010, and the first Forbes coach in world football nine times.

Yes, it's true, what I am facing in front of me is the "madman" Mourinho, who once called himself "the special one".
