Chapter 172. Li Lin's attitude
While Overmars was on his way to London to meet Levi, Hans-Waiters was sitting in a small private room in Poladis with Li Lin's agent, Raiola.
"I really didn't expect that Li's bar is also impressive, and I have heard of this bar recently, but only when I really come here, can I feel how popular it is at the moment!"
Li Lin opened a bar, which was a well-known thing in the club, but Victors had never expected it to be so good, and he was surprised by the hot atmosphere just now.
"Lee is a genius, there's no doubt about it, even though he himself doesn't like what people say about him!"
Raiola took a sip of the beer in his hand with some pride, and it was the most proud thing for him to sign Li Lin at the beginning.
The corners of Willes' mouth twitched, and he could only complain in his heart that Raiola had heard a little about how he signed Li Lin, but he didn't show it on the surface, as a club that relies on buying and selling players to survive, it is absolutely necessary to have a good relationship with these agents and predators.
However, Raiola doesn't care what others think, he is happy, and he thinks the rest is all jealous, at least Mendes was a little angry that he signed Morrison first.
Thinking of this, Raiola almost laughed out loud again, it was not too cool to be able to defeat his opponent in this direct competition!
"Okay, I guess you asked me out, not just for a drink, if there's anything, just talk about it."
After the greetings, Raiola quickly returned to the topic, of course, he knew what the other party was going to say, in addition to Li Lin's matter, what else did the general manager need to come to ask him out?
Hans Waiters exhaled deeply and said: "Recently, compared to what you have seen, the fans hope that we can keep Li Lin, and the purpose of my visit this time is very clear, just to hear your and Li Lin's opinions." ”
There are some things that everyone knows, so there is no need to hide them.
Raiola raised an eyebrow, picking up something in the other's words.
"So, you've already talked to Tottenham?"
"Well, now Overmars is in London, and he should be back tomorrow!"
Jacks nodded, he wasn't worried about Tottenham, the money thing was actually easy to talk about, it was difficult to say the attitude of Raiola and Li Lin, especially the agent in front of him, he would undoubtedly have a great impact on Li Lin's choice.
Like Levi, Raiola immediately realized that Ajax had moved his real character this time, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his attitude became much more serious.
"Do you really want to keep Li Lin?"
"That's right, as long as the price paid is within the club's tolerance, of course we are willing to keep Li Lin, his importance to the team is something anyone can see!"
Jacks said categorically.
Hearing this, Raiola's heart began to calculate quickly, Li Lin stayed in the Netherlands? This shattered his plan for Li Lin's future, and for Raiola, he naturally wanted Li Lin to return to the mainstream league. Whether it's the Premier League or La Liga, even the Bundesliga, it's much better than staying in the Eredivisie.
But considering Li Lin's current age, it is not bad to let him train in the Netherlands for another year, but it is obvious that Ajax will not be able to buy Li Lin and sell him for a year!
Although he thought so, Raiola did not categorically refuse the other party, but chose to ask Li Lin what he thought.
"I can't be the master of this matter alone, I'm afraid I have to go back and ask Li Lin's opinion, you know, he is a very assertive person!"
Vedges frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with the other party's lack of direct expression, but he also understood the other party's caution, so he could only nod and wait for Raiola's response to him.
……
Soon, Li Lin also learned about the club's plans from Raiola.
"I don't want to stay here at the moment!"
Li Lin's attitude was very resolute, somewhat unexpected, and he thought that Li Lin would be happy to stay in Ajax, because he was obviously happy to stay here.
"Why? Do you want to go back to the Premier League? ”
Raiola was a little curious.
"It doesn't matter where you go, but next season Ajax will almost be a different team and it won't be interesting for me to stay!"
Li Lin is referring to Eriksen and Aldwilderd, two stalwarts who are certain to leave next season.
"Also, now the Eredivisie doesn't allow me to grow faster, I want to be able to go to a more competitive league, it doesn't matter what team it is, I'm still growing anyway!"
This is Li Lin's true thoughts, after the baptism of the Champions League, the pressure of the Eredivisie is naturally much easier for Li Lin, and it is natural for him to have this kind of thought.
Raiola nodded, understanding Li Lin's thoughts.
"But I want to remind you, your current performance is good, but remember not to be complacent, don't overestimate yourself, your state is still too fluctuating, and it is very seriously affected by emotions, when you can maintain this kind of performance for five or six seasons, I think it may be about the same!"
Feeling that Li Lin was a little complacent, Raiola knocked the other party in time, he didn't want Li Lin's self-confidence to be too inflated, he was still too young!
"Don't worry, I have a few pounds and a few taels I know in my heart!"
Li Lin may not have too many advantages, but he has a cool head, and Li Lin still sees himself very clearly.
"In that case, take this opportunity to talk about what you are going to do next season and return to Tottenham?"
Just took advantage of this opportunity to get to know Li Lin's thoughts well.
"Tottenham?" Li Lin's right hand gently stroked the soft little beard on his chin, "I heard that Boas is not very cold to me?" ”
Others can see it, Li Lin can naturally feel it, even Levy has called him to congratulate him on his performance, but the head coach has not contacted him until now, so you can imagine what the other party thinks of him.
'Well, Villas-Boas is ready to overhaul Tottenham next season, and Tottenham could be in for a big deal next summer, but at the moment it doesn't look like you're in his plans.
"Why?"
'It's probably that he doesn't think he's very optimistic about your future, maybe he doesn't think you can get a foothold in the Premier League with your body as a striker, or that he can't get a foothold in his football system.
Obviously, Raiola also did his homework on Boas.
'Villas-Boas prefers 4-3-3 in this tactical choice, and he is asking for an all-round centre-forward with speed, strength and physicality, such as Tottenham's Adebayo type at the moment, so it makes sense that he doesn't like you.
Raiola's words made Li Lin pout helplessly, the body is innate, he can try his best to make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses, but shortcomings are shortcomings, and there is no way to change it.
