The strongest blade in football

Chapter 177

2011年7月14日晚8点30分，戴高乐机场，气温20度。

Led by a full-time stewardess, Han Li ate a big meal in the lounge before takeoff.

Foie gras, duck, spaghetti with black truffle, and Veuve Clicquot champagne. After a short rest, the stewardess drove him to the boarding gate in an Audi A8.

He was in first class and was the last to board, but the captain still stood at the gate and greeted him.

After being seated, the flight attendant brought another bottle of Harvest White Champagne, and then a flight attendant named Mary brought today's menu and wine list.

"How many people are on the plane today?" Han Li asked casually.

"I will be serving in first class and business class today. There are only you and one other passenger in first class. There are 51 passengers in business class."

"There are 28 passengers in premium economy and 206 in economy."

Han Li nodded, and turned his head to take a look. Not far from the right rear, there was a guy who was sleeping on his side, without pulling the curtain.

The man seemed very tired, and the voices here did not affect him at all.

It seemed that it was the two of them who made the plane fly first class.

In fact, Han Li originally bought the business class, but his family insisted that he spend 2000 Euros to upgrade the class. After a hard journey back home, it would be better to rest in first class.

It is inevitable for family members to worry about studying abroad. Han Li will go back to Shanghai two or three times a year and stay at home for half a month, and this year is no exception.

The journey of more than ten hours was a kind of torture for him.

Han Li watched the TV series that he had downloaded in advance for a while, and then stared at the sea of ​​clouds outside the porthole for a while, feeling bored.

So he asked for a newspaper to pass the time.

It was a copy of L'Equipe for the day.

"L'Equipe" can be regarded as the top media in France, and even Air France must pay a subscription fee to use it as random reading on the plane.

And once there was no L'Equipe on the plane, many passengers would protest.

What he has in his hand is today's newspaper, which is divided into 16 pages, most of which are related to football, basketball, bicycles, and F1.

Han Li is not interested in other things. He is a football fan and only cares about football.

The teams he supports are Shanghai Shenhua, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City.

The first two are supported by geographical relations, while Manchester City is because Wang Nuo is there, and it is Jia Xiaoxian's home team.

This summer, with the opening of the summer transfer window, European football is full of blood and rain.

Moreover, compared with previous years, the transfer value of the players has unknowingly increased.

Good players who used to be worth millions of euros now start with tens of millions of euros. Some star players often cost more than 2000 million euros. As for those superstars, they all start at 4000 to [-] million euros!

Moreover, the Chinese Super League, which was originally lifeless, also has a dark horse Evergrande this year.

They spent a lot of money to buy a number of domestic players, and they signed center Cleo at the beginning of the year when they already had Muric.

What's even better is that just at the beginning of this month, they spent a full 1000 million US dollars to sign the best player in Brazil's first division - Conca!
All of a sudden, within the scope of the Chinese Super League, it really feels like a local tyrant.

There is no doubt that football has entered the golden dollar era.

What made Han Li happy was that at the end of last month, the Qatar consortium finally officially acquired 70% of the shares of Paris Saint-Germain Club and became the controlling shareholder of the club.

The media has recently been advocating that Paris Saint-Germain is "Ligue [-] Manchester City".

It is said that the Qatar consortium has prepared 1.5 million euros for signings for the club this summer, and Han Li called it "Ge Ji Jie Gang"!
Last season, Paris Saint-Germain finished fourth in the league, which was inseparable from the hard support of several veterans.

The 38-year-old iron-backed Makelele has made 41 starts, and the 38-year-old goalkeeper Coupe has also played 24 times. What a miserable word.

Now, the team is finally getting richer!

It was rumored in the newspapers a few days ago that the French international Matuidi will come to Paris as Makelele's successor!
In addition, striker Gameiro and defender Bicevac were also included in the Paris target list by the media.

Among them, Gameiro, as the silver boot of Ligue [-], has been coveted by Valencia in La Liga and Bordeaux in China for a long time. The addition of Paris Saint-Germain will undoubtedly intensify the competition.

Just now, Han Li went to the L'Equipe with great anticipation, wanting to see if Paris Saint-Germain had any new moves during this day.

He took a sip of Harxel white champagne, sank his whole body into the seat, sighed slightly, and then slowly flipped through the newspaper in his hand.

Suddenly, a huge title caught his eyes!
"Leonardo in Paris Saint-Germain, buyers in"

This title made Han Li dizzy, and almost dropped the cup in his hand to the ground.

Leonardo?Han Li's first reaction was, is the filmmaker involved with the club?
Take a closer look, boy!
It's Leonardo Nacimondo de Arraio!
In the season that just ended, he was still the head coach of Inter Milan, and was scolded by AC Milan fans. It's only been a month, and he was hired by Paris Saint-Germain as the team...

Team director? !
This operation is really powerful. Of course, Leonardo was the general manager of AC Milan. It is not surprising that Kaka was brought to Ancelotti by him.

Speaking of which, Han Li still knew Leonardo well.

He passed through Brazil's No. 10. He had a brutal elbow in the World Cup. He retired in AC Milan and entered the management team. He replaced Ancelotti as the head coach of AC Milan in the first two years. He took over Inter Milan last season from Benitez .

This resume is also legendary enough.

Han Li guessed that Paris invited him to serve as the team's sports director for two reasons:

One is that he has contacts in Italy, which is convenient for digging Serie A players in the future.

The second is that this guy played for Paris Saint-Germain for a while in the 90s, so he is not a complete outsider.

Interestingly, Han Li looked at the thin man in the news photo happily sitting in the middle of the press conference table, with an ambitious look, and his expectations for the team increased a bit.

He read the report very patiently, and felt very happy, because Han Li found that the next page still contained news about Paris Saint-Germain!

It's good to have money, and there are even more news reports in "L'Equipe".

Han Li flipped through the newspaper, looking forward to what the following content would be...

"Fuck!!!!"

After seeing the headline on the next page, Han Li couldn't control himself at all, and let out a loud cry from his seat.

He only felt that his scalp was numb, his heart was both surprised and happy, and his hands were trembling a little.

After reading it again and confirming that it was correct, Han Li let out a "hehehe" smirk.

If the news just now can be called a surprise, then the next one, to use the lines in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" released last year, is——

"Translate it and listen, what a fucking surprise! What a fucking surprise!"

The flight attendant named Mary looked at Han Li suspiciously. The young man who had been putting on airs and acting cold just now was as happy as an idiot.

what is the problem?

She originally wanted to ask directly, but seeing that Han Li was completely immersed in the "L'Equipe" and seemed unable to extricate himself, Mary decided to find out the answer by herself.

She pretended to be passing by, and when she walked up to Han Li, she glanced sideways at the place where Han Li's eyes were focused.

That area is occupied by a more eye-catching title: "Raiola broke the news, Wang Nuo will join Paris Saint-Germain on loan"

Wang Nuo?Isn't that...

Mary wanted to remind Han Li, but hesitated for a while, and gave up.

The less trouble, the better.

Han Li didn't notice the strangeness of the flight attendant around him, and his 100% attention was devoted to the "L'Equipe" in front of him.

"L'Equipe" is a very reliable media in France and one of the few with the most accurate news.

Han Li regretted why he didn't buy another copy of "The Parisian" before boarding the plane, so that he would be safe.

The news about Wang Nuo was like a boulder thrown into a lake, causing countless ripples in Han Li's heart.

What Ligue [-] silver boots Gameiro, it will not be popular immediately, you must not come, don't take my chance to appear on the stage, Wang Nuo!
I want Wang Nuo!

The news said that Wang Nuo's agent Mino Raiola broke the news that he had basically negotiated a deal for Paris to loan Wang Nuo.

Paris Saint-Germain will pay a loan fee of 350 million euros and a signing fee of 200 million euros to lease Wang Nuo for one year. At the same time, Wang Nuo's weekly salary of 66000 pounds will be borne by the two clubs in half.

Last summer, the additional clauses for Wang Nuo's transfer to Manchester City totaled 400 million.

Among them, Manchester City has paid Standard Liege 100 million euros for entering the Champions League and 10 million euros for scoring more than 200 goals in official matches.

Only the number of starting games is left, because the number of starting games is not enough, the difference of 40 is not paid.

Wang Nuo played 45 times in various competitions for Manchester City last season, scoring 13 goals and getting 6 assists. In addition to his wonderful performance in the FA Cup final with two goals and one assist, he is regarded as one of the best new stars in the Premier League.

That is, Manchester City, with a perverted striker, can rent out such players for exercise.

Han Li guessed that Minoraiola had been negotiating with Paris Saint-Germain for a long time.

But this time, he changed his style of spreading rumors in the past. Before today, no one connected Wang Nuo with Paris.

Everything is going on in weird secret negotiations!
Leonardo just took office at Paris Saint-Germain, and this explosive news broke out immediately. Paris must be building momentum for the team's sports director and the summer transfer market!

Coupled with Wang Nuo's happy smile in this news picture, Paris Saint-Germain seems to tell the world, "This luxury warship in Ligue [-] is undergoing equipment upgrades!"

There are some references to the content of Wang Nuo's lease contract later.

For example, Paris Saint-Germain has the priority to renew the contract after one year, that is, this is a 1+1 lease contract, but does not include the right to buy out, which also means that after the lease expires, Wang Nuo still belongs to Manchester City. .

Seeing this, Han Li was both happy and a little incomprehensible——

Who negotiated this negotiation?Just a loan without a buyout is tantamount to helping Manchester City level up Wang Nuo.

You know, players like Wang Nuo have a high probability of taking off in Ligue [-].

Han Li has watched quite a few Wang Nuo games. Last season at Manchester City, he almost never lost every game. Han Li even watched quite a few of his games in Standard Liege.

He is very familiar with every goal of Wang Nuo and knows Wang Nuo's strength very well.

He thinks that Wang Nuo is like a weakened version of Ronaldinho with passes and free kicks!
What's more interesting is that Ronaldinho is also in Paris in his early 20s. Could it be that this is the arrangement of fate?

Han Li believes that Wang Nuo's playing style is very suitable for Ligue [-].

For Ligue [-], the basis of youth training and population race determines the style of Ligue [-], namely fast, sharp and breakthrough.

There are a large number of black players in many clubs in France. These players are amazingly explosive, making the game full of changes and poor discipline, but they can also play very lively.

Han Li has already started to picture in his mind the picture of Wang Nuo galloping around at the Prince Park Stadium in the new season.

With Wang Nuo, the midfield lineup will be upgraded again. With Nene, who transferred last year and performed well, Paris Saint-Germain will definitely look good in the new season.

correct!Most importantly, there are coaches!

Although Combuare is a famous Paris Saint-Germain player, he played for the team for many seasons as a player, and led the B team for several years after retiring, but Han Li is not interested in him.

If the Qatar consortium has greater ambitions, it should find a top coach.

An excellent candidate popped up in Han Li's mind: Frenchman Arsene Wenger!
His excellent team building ideas can help Paris become better, and if he trains Wang Nuo well, it's perfect!
I just don't know if Paris Saint-Germain has a chance to snatch the professor from Arsenal.

If Wenger can't be taken down, the next best option is Ancelotti.

Ancelotti and Leonardo also worked together in AC Milan for many years, and this combination must be no problem.

And Ancelotti has just been fired by Chelsea, and now he is also idle!
Maybe, at that time, Wang Nuo can be at the forefront like Shevchenko back then and become Paris Saint-Germain's battering ram, or he can be like the Blue Bridge striker a year ago and become Drogba!
Han Li found himself thinking farther and farther, showing a somewhat self-deprecating smile.

In the past few years, he has really been suffocated. Paris Saint-Germain, as the capital team, played too badly.

It's really not easy!

Han Li stayed in France for the past few years, and really envied those classmates in England.

People in London, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, West Ham United and other seven or eight teams can choose one to support.

He had no choice but to guard Paris Saint-Germain alone.

Finally, it's almost dawn!
It's not normal for a city like Paris to not have a big team!

Han Li is full of confidence for the next season!

He read the report in "L'Equipe" from beginning to end twice, and felt that every pore in his body was cleansed.

He plans to collect this newspaper. He thinks it is commemorative, just like the jersey signed by the Manchester City team.

Han Li picked up the wine glass again and drank the champagne in the glass.

Then, he called Mary and ordered a special ravioli and a bottle of Kendall Brown estate wine produced by Château Margaux.

If it wasn't on the plane, he would have called his good friends and celebrated in the bar.

"Thank you for the good food and wine and the good news in the paper, lucky you Mary!"

Out of politeness, Han Li politely expressed his thanks.

"You're welcome. If you have other needs, you can call me. If you feel tired during the long journey, I can help you adjust the seat and turn it into a comfortable single bed."

Mary replied seriously.

"I'm not used to sleeping on the plane." Han Li smiled, "I have relatively high requirements for bedding. Whether it's in Paris or Shanghai, I can't fall asleep in a strange bed."

"It's not about being fussy or trying to be refined, it's a habit I've had since I was a kid."

"To be honest, I'm very envious of people who can sleep soundly on the plane. I really wish I could too..." Han Li subconsciously glanced to the right rear.

Originally, he wanted to use the other guy in the first class as an example, but when he turned his head, he found that the guy had turned his body around and his face was facing the outside.

Neat short black hair, strong muscles and broad shoulders stretched an ordinary cotton T-shirt tightly. Even if you sleep with your eyes closed, you can still feel a vigorous force emanating from the inside out.

When Han Li saw the man's appearance clearly, the expression on his face became extremely rich in an instant!

He had just seen this face in L'Equipe!

Oh my God, he turned out to be the other passenger in the first class cabin!
Wang Nuo!
