opening a balotelli

Chapter 17

On the second day after the team resumed normal training, Li Mo's uncle came back suddenly, and rushed directly to the club after getting off the plane. After Li Mo finished training, he saw his uncle waving to him on the sidelines.

"Okay, I've seen reports about your kid in Spain. He scored four goals in three games, and he's promising!"

Uncle's conversation is still so elegant, Li Mo didn't bother to complain, he just said curiously: "Spain also has my news? No way, they also pay attention to the second-tier league?"

"Isn't it because of your status as an Eastern player? You're still so young, and now the entire European media is reporting on you. Although it's not a hot news, there is still a little splash."

After Uncle Li Mo finished speaking, he walked out of the training base with his arms around Li Mo's shoulders: "Come on, it's time for dinner. I'll take you to dinner tonight. What's your friend's name?"

"Harry, Harry Maguire." Li Mo reminded.

"Ah yes, call him up too, I'll treat you to a big meal!"

After a while, Li Mo took Maguire into his uncle's car, and the three of them headed towards the center of Sheffield. In the car, Li Mo briefly introduced his uncle to Maguire, and also said Talk about the time when I came to England with my uncle.

Li Mo's uncle is called Li Lijun, 41 years old this year. He was an exchange student in Spain for a year when he was in college. After graduation, he went to Spain to do business with the friends he met during the exchange. There has been no improvement, but after studying the market for several years, Li Lijun turned around and started a furniture export business in Spain with his friends. He quickly accumulated the first pot of gold, and slowly expanded the domestic market. A lot of money.

Because he likes football, Li Lijun invested in the local football team in his hometown at the beginning of the century. Although he has never played well, it is still Li Lijun's dream, and Li Mo fell in love with playing football under his influence. , and has been training with his hometown team.

In his previous life, Li Mo showed his football talent, but his parents still had a more traditional concept, and they never agreed with him to take a career path. Although Li Lijun supported him, Li Mo finally chose to study hard. It has become his eternal regret, so that when things go wrong in the future, he often thinks back, if his will was stronger when he was young, would his life be different?
As a result, the sudden appearance of the dream machine really brought him back to the fork in the road of life choices. Li Mo was naturally determined to follow the career path, but he didn't want to waste his life in the big dye vat in China. He negotiated with his parents many times, and Li Lijun After repeated guarantees, he came to England.

After listening to Li Mo's narration, Maguire couldn't help admiring Li Mo. Not everyone has the courage to go to a foreign country to pursue their dreams, especially at such a young age. At least Maguire asked himself if he could do it. Li Lijun insisted on transporting Li Mo to Sheffield United for training every day for four years, which is also very remarkable. Because of this incident, Li Lijun's business was basically handed over to his friends, and the money he lost was not considered. number.

But fortunately Li Mo kicked it out, he didn't waste his talent, and everything Li Lijun gave has meaning.

The restaurant Li Lijun ordered was not too far away, it took about [-] minutes by car. While waiting for the meal, he also explained the reason why he came back so soon.

The management of Sheffield United contacted him to re-sign the contract with Li Mo. There was no liquidated damages in the previous professional contract. Although Li Mo has always been favored by the team and the salary is in line with his age, but now It seems too low.

If Li Mo can maintain his current performance for the rest of the season, there will be many teams making offers, and then Sheffield United will be very passive.

Before Li Mo and the club, Li Lijun helped him to discuss all matters. After receiving the news from Sheffield United this time, Li Mo did not dare to delay when it came to Li Mo's future, so he hurried back.

But Li Lijun is also quite distressed now. He is not a professional agent, and he has no way to know the salary situation of major European leagues. He can only ask Li Mo for his opinion first, and then try his best to help Li Mo win a new contract. condition.

"This matter, Dad, you can figure it out. Salary and so on, as long as the club has sincerity, don't sign for too long, oh yes! Help me get as much bonus as possible, such as goal assists and winning bonuses, these can be won more a bit."

Li Mo himself doesn't really care about it. His career has just started. Sheffield United is still his home team, and the club has always respected him. He thinks that the salary is worthy of his performance. Naturally, he will not open his mouth. The most important thing now is to play steadily, which is what he values. As long as he performs well, the club will rush to give him a promotion.

The conversation between the two did not avoid Maguire, and Maguire did not find it tasteful. A striker who performed well has always been the most valued by the team in the professional arena. No matter which club, after training a talented striker, he will definitely Find a way to retain, Li Mo's performance is naturally worthy of the new contract.

"But Harry, I feel that the club is about to talk to you about a new contract. Will your father still come to the club to talk?"

Li Mo suddenly asked Maguire, but Maguire nodded: "Yes, my father has always been in charge of my contract, but recently some brokerage companies have been in contact with me."

Li Lijun also said to Li Mo after hearing the words: "I was just about to talk to you about this. Let's find a professional agent in a while. It's okay to talk about it now. In the future, your commercial contract and the contract with the club will definitely need to be more professional. people will be responsible.”

Li Mo nodded. He has naturally considered this matter, but there is no need to worry. When he was still in the youth training echelon, many agents came to him, but he refused, because most of these agents only There is some relationship in England, which is not very helpful to his career planning and subsequent career development. He has some ideas, but it may take some time.

When his performance is better and his reputation is bigger, he will naturally be contacted by a better agency.

Thinking of this, he patted Maguire on the shoulder and said: "We are all just starting, don't worry, when we succeed in reaching the Super League, there will be better agents looking for us to cooperate, and then we may be able to sign the same team." broker."

Maguire feels that Li Mo's proposal is good. He is also a genius and has confidence in his own strength. When he becomes more famous in the future, he will definitely have a better choice. It is indeed too early to sign a brokerage company now.

Moreover, if he and Li Mo sign with the same agent in the future, maybe he can always play in the same team as Li Mo.
Just as he was thinking about it, the waiter came over pushing the dining car, put away the food for the three of them, opened a bottle of red wine for Li Lijun, and then went down to get ready.

Since Maguire lived with Li Mo, he hasn't eaten out for a long time. Although eating nutritious meals made by Li Mo or the master every day is good for the body, the taste is really indescribable. Today is finally a full meal Delicious, he lifted the cover of the dinner plate with great anticipation, but saw a few large pieces of well-cooked fish and beef stacked together, with some green vegetables and some black pepper sauce on the side.

It looks very rich, with meat and vegetables, and a large portion, but the style of this painting is wrong!Why does Uncle Li Mo have grilled beef rib eye and delicious mushrooms on his plate, while he and Li Mo only have boiled meat and vegetables on their plates?

"Oh, I asked my uncle to specifically tell the chef to make it, just eat it, tsk, this sauce is too much, it is not clean at all, I will make you a nutritious meal tomorrow, deal with it tonight, and return it tomorrow morning I have to continue training, finish eating early and go back early."

Li Mo explained to Maguire, after finishing speaking, he started to create wildly on the meat and vegetables on the plate.

Maguire felt that this animal was completely hopeless, and if he continued to eat it like this, he was worried that his sense of taste would start to degenerate. Alas, I don’t know when I will be able to eat fish and chips again.
"Hey, aren't you hungry? If you're not hungry, give me something to eat. I feel like I'm not enough."

Li Mo looked at Maguire in a daze, and started to drag his plate, but Maguire seemed to wake up the moment he stretched out his hand, one hand subconsciously protected the plate, and then buried his head madly with grief and indignation Eating, as if eating someone.

Li Lijun took a sip of red wine, looked at the two young boys in front of him, they could restrain themselves even when they went out to eat, and they ate so healthy, he couldn't help smiling and said: "You can teach children."
