Proud Founder

In a café near Manchester International Airport, soothing Spanish music flowed like clear drinking water into the hearts of everyone in the room.

In a dead corner in the middle, there are four people sitting.

One of them was clearly Oriental, dressed in a gray Armani suit and casual without a tie, holding a spoon in his right hand and stirring the steaming coffee in front of him lightly and delicately, a milky aroma that permeated the air and made people indulge.

This person is the chairman and manager of Leeds United, Zhong Cheng, but he is wearing a big-brimmed hat today to cover his cool face, and few people recognize the identity of the seven, and everyone still thinks that this is a world supermodel.

By Zhong Cheng's side is his old friend, his old buddy Trevo Birch.

Sitting across from them were a middle-aged man and a young man, who was so thoughtful that he was a positive character from a movie, and who had been twisting the ring on his ring finger with his right hand since he entered the café.

Although the young man next to the middle-aged man is sitting, it is difficult to hide his tall figure, this young man's face is still childish, but his face is difficult to hide the confidence beyond ordinary people. However, there was no trace of confusion and worry in his eyes.

Looking at the tall young man in front of him, Zhong Cheng smiled and said, "Gerald, how are you thinking about it?"

Peak raised his head and stared at Zhong Cheng a little blankly, his heart was very hesitant.

Yes, this young big man is none other than Gerard Pique Bernabeu, who is now the main centre-back of the Spanish youth team and the main centre-back of the Spanish national team in the future.

Born on February 2, 1987, Pique is now 17 years old, his father is a well-known local lawyer in Barcelona, his mother is a hospital executive, and his maternal grandfather was the vice president in charge of Barcelona's finances.

Influenced by his maternal grandfather, he was a Barcelona player from an early age, but this summer, Pique's contract with Barcelona expired. Pique wants to stay at Barcelona, and Barcelona really want to keep him, because Barcelona see him as Puyol's successor.

However, there was a big difference between the two sides on the new contract, Barcelona wanted to sign an eight-year contract, while Pique was only willing to sign a five-year contract at most, and the two sides were deadlocked, and finally the negotiations broke down.

Actually, this is not the main reason, this is just a statement to the outside world.

The main reason for Pique to leave Barcelona is that he did not get the commitment of the first team, and did not give him enough opportunities and game time, which is the reason why Pique and Barcelona fell out.

Playing now is the most important thing for Pique, staying at Barcelona, Pique can only continue to stay in the youth team, and the youth team games are obviously not helpful for Pique's improvement, so Pique will ask for playing time in the first team.

It's a pity that Barcelona is very optimistic about Pique, but it is also optimistic about Pique's future.

After the negotiations with Barcelona broke down, Pique wanted to emulate his good friend Cesc Fabregas and leave Barcelona and go abroad. Seeing that his young friend is now playing in the first team of the Arsenal team, he is naturally envious.

At this time, the famous Wenger and Ferguson came to the door to see him, and after talking to the two, Pique decided to join Manchester United.

However, just when Pique thought he would be the Man for United, a new variable arose. A guy who claims to be the CEO of Leeds United has approached his agent, Atolo Canalis, and has indicated that he wants to bring in his ideas.

Although Leeds United have been relegated this season, they still have a certain reputation in Europe, after all, the team reached the last four of the Champions League a few years ago.

Although Leeds United is famous, it is still too different from Manchester United.

At first, Pique didn't think about it at all, but after seeing the controversial chairman and manager of Leeds United today, Pique's mind was shaken and hesitated.

Leeds United manager Zhong Cheng is right when he goes to Manchester United, will he be able to get enough playing time when he goes to Manchester United, and is Alex Ferguson willing to give his 17-year-old a chance to play in the first team?

Leeds United's chairman Zhong Cheng is right when he says that Barcelona is a giant, and Manchester United is also a giant. Barcelona now have a very strong centre-back combination in the first team and a strong bench, as is Manchester United, who are just as solid at the back and even have a strong bench. Didn't jumping from Barcelona to Manchester United, from one cage to another? What is the difference between that and staying at Barcelona?

Although, when I talked to Alex Ferguson before, Alex Ferguson showed that he was very optimistic about himself and would develop himself vigorously. But didn't Barcelona say the same thing? Didn't they end up giving themselves a chance to be in the first team?

Pique glanced at Zhong Cheng, and then immediately turned his head to look at the middle-aged man next to him, who was none other than his agent, Artolo Canalis.

Looking at Pique's reaction, how could Artolo Canalis not know what his employer was thinking.

To be honest, after hearing Zhongcheng's words, Artolo Canalis also thinks that Manchester United is not a good choice. However, is Leeds United a good choice?

Artolo Canalis immediately looked up at Zhong Cheng and said: "Mr. Loya, what kind of guarantee can you Leeds United give to my employer?"

Zhong Cheng said: "You may have heard that I have imprinted a large number of young players this season, we are a new and energetic team, we must focus on this group of young players, that is, I am building another young guard.

Seeing Artolo Canalis frowning, Zhong Cheng immediately said: "Mr. Canalis, don't worry! Although these players are young, they are all as strong as Gerrard. I can tell you that my goal this season is to upgrade!" The

three people on the scene were all surprised, yes, even Zhong Cheng's good friend Trevo Birch was also surprised, which he had never heard Zhong Cheng say before. And just relying on this group of young players, is it possible?

Zhong Cheng took in the looks of the three of them, and he continued: "Don't think it's impossible, this year's Greek team has shown that everything is possible! And I myself am full of confidence!" Atolo

Canalis can understand at this time why the media all over England and even the local fans in Leeds will call Zhong Cheng a madman, this guy is really a madman.

Zhong Cheng stared at Pique with his eyes tight, and said very demagogically: "Gerrard, don't you think it's a great initiative to promote the Premier League with a group of young people with an average age of about 20 years old? When we stand on the stage of the Premier League, the whole world will cast endless admiration and envy on us, and we will become a generation of myths and be remembered by history! Aren't you at all tempted to join this great plan? Aren't you not excited at all?"

Zhong Cheng stared at Pique tightly and continued: "The main thing is that even if we can't succeed in the end. But you also have a valuable experience, a valuable experience that your peers will never get a chance to get. And this experience is only good for your future career, there is no harm!" Although

the young Gerard Peake is much more mature and confident than his peers, he is still bewitched by Zhong Cheng at this time, and his heart is full of passion.

Artolo Canalis also had to nod his head and admit that Zhong Cheng was really a very good orator. Even at his age, he was a little excited to hear these words.

Atolo Canalis knew that Zhong Cheng's persuasion was successful, but he said: "When I want to say, Mr. Loya's plan is really attractive, and it makes people's blood boil unconsciously and wants to participate in it. But you don't seem to have answered my

question directly, right?" Peake was stunned when he heard this, Zhong Cheng said so many exciting words, it seemed that he really didn't answer his agent's question directly.

Zhong Cheng smiled and said, "The reason why I am telling you this is because Gerald has a very important place in my plan. Here I can assure you that as long as Gerrard is in good form, he will be the main centre-back for our club!"

said Artolo Canalis and Gerard Pique, both with their eyes lit up, and they were both satisfied.

Although Leeds United will play in the Championship this season, as far as they know, the standard of this Championship league is not low, and there are many games in the Championship in a season, which is really a good place for Pique to continue playing.

Looking back, even if they went to Manchester United, Manchester United would definitely not give Pique a chance in the first team, but also loaned Piqué out, will Piqué join the second tier of the Championship?

It's not as good as joining Leeds because they've got a lot of commitments.

At this time, Pique was already excited, but he still had some consideration.

Artolo Canalis actually thinks that it is better for Pique to join Leeds United, and he has already received tens of thousands of pounds from Zhong Cheng, at this time, he is going to stand up and push Pique.

Artolo Canalis apologized to the two before speaking to Pique in Catalan: "Steven Gerrard, I think Leeds are a very good choice, you have enough opportunities to play here, and you can't stay here forever. Why don't you stay here and use Leeds as a springboard to improve yourself and use Leeds as a springboard?"

Pique nodded and said: "I also think Leeds United are very good, but now Manchester United is ...... Mr. Ferguson has high hopes for me......

" Atolo Canalis said directly: "You don't have to worry about this, the bad guys let me do it." We just have to ask Manchester United if they can give you a place in the first team next season. And, now have we signed with Manchester United? Did Manchester United give us an advance? No, nothing! So what are we worried about

?" Yes, Pique and Manchester United have not signed yet, both sides have been interested before, but it is useless for the two sides to even have a verbal agreement, does Pique need to feel guilty?

Artolo Canalis said: "Remember, Gerrard, your future is the most important thing. You don't want to leave Barcelona and disappear forever, do you?"

Pique shook his head, his mind firm.

Pique immediately turned his head, looked at Zhong Cheng, and said very solemnly: "Mr. Loya, I agree to join Leeds United!"
