creator of giants

In a cafe near Manchester International Airport, soothing Spanish music flowed like clear drinking water, flowing into the hearts of everyone present.

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

One of them is obviously oriental. He is wearing a gray Armani suit and is very casual without a tie. He is holding a spoon in his right hand and stirring the steaming coffee in front of him lightly and delicately. A scent of milk permeates the air. addictive.

This person is Zhong Cheng, the chairman and head coach of Leeds United, but he is wearing a big-brimmed hat today to cover his cool face. Few people recognize the identity of Qi, and everyone thinks that This is a world famous model.

Beside Zhong Cheng is his old friend, old buddy Trevor Birch.

Sitting opposite the two are a middle-aged man and a young man. This middle-aged man is very upright, just like a positive character in a movie. From the moment he entered this coffee shop, his right hand Has been twisting the ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

The young man next to the middle-aged man was sitting, but his tall figure could not be concealed. The young man's face was full of childishness, but his self-confidence beyond ordinary people could not be concealed.However, there was not a trace of confusion and worry in his eyes.

Looking at the tall young man in front of him, Zhong Cheng smiled and said, "Gerald, what do you think?"

Pique raised his head and stared at Zhong Cheng in a daze, he was very hesitant.

Yes, this young big man is exactly Gerard Pique Bernabeu, who is now the main central defender of the Spanish youth team and will be the main central defender of the Spanish national team in the future.

Pique was born on February 1987, 2. He is 2 years old now. His father is a well-known local lawyer in Barcelona, ​​his mother is a hospital executive, and his maternal grandfather was once the vice chairman in charge of Barcelona's finances. Their family conditions are very hesitant. Well-connected.

Influenced by his grandfather, he has been a Barcelona player since he was a child. However, this summer, the contract between Pique and Barcelona expired.Pique wants to stay in Barcelona, ​​and Barcelona also wants to keep him very much, because Barcelona regards him as Puyol's successor.

However, the two sides had very big differences on the new contract. Barcelona hoped to sign an eight-year contract, while Pique was only willing to sign a five-year contract at most. The two sides were deadlocked, and finally the negotiations broke down.

In fact, this is not the main reason, it is just a statement to the outside world.

The main reason why Pique left Barcelona was that he did not get the promise of the first team and did not give him enough opportunities and game time. This is the reason why Pique and Barcelona broke up.

Playing games now is the most important thing for Pique. If he stays in Barcelona, ​​Pique can only stay in the youth team. Youth team games are obviously of no help to Pique's improvement, so Pique will ask the first team playing time.

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

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

At this time, the famous Wenger and Ferguson came to see him. After communicating with the two, Pique decided to join Manchester United.

However, just when Pique thought he was destined to become a member of Manchester United, a new variable came.A guy who claimed to be the CEO of Leeds United found his agent Artolo Canalis and expressed that he wanted to introduce his own ideas.

Although Leeds United were relegated this season, they still have a certain reputation in Europe. After all, this team reached the semi-finals of the Champions League a few years ago.

Although Leeds United is well-known, it is still far behind Manchester United.

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

The head coach of Leeds United, Zhong Cheng, is right, can he get enough playing time by going to Manchester United?Is Alex Ferguson willing to give himself a 17-year-old first team chance?

Zhong Cheng, the chairman of Leeds United, is right, Barcelona is a giant, and Manchester United is also a giant.Barcelona's current first-team central defender combination is very strong, and the substitute is also very strong. The same is true for Manchester United. Their back line is also solid, and even the substitute is very strong.I jumped from Barcelona to Manchester United, didn't I jump from one cage to another?What's the difference between that and staying in Barcelona?

Although, when talking with Alex Ferguson before, Alex Ferguson said that he is very optimistic about himself and will vigorously cultivate himself.But didn't Barcelona say the same thing?In the end, didn't you still not give yourself a chance for the first team?
Pique glanced at Zhong Cheng, and then immediately turned to look at the middle-aged man beside him. This was his manager Artolo Canalis.

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

To be honest, after hearing Zhong Cheng's words, Atolo Canalis also thinks that Manchester United is not a good choice.However, is Leeds United a good choice?
Atolo Canalis immediately looked up at Zhong Cheng, and said, "Mr. Loya, what kind of guarantee can you Leeds United give my employer?"

Zhong Cheng said: "You may have heard that I have imprinted a large number of young players this season. We are a brand new and vigorous team. We must focus on these young players, that is, Say, I'm building another Young Guard."

Seeing Atolo Canalis frown, Zhong Cheng immediately said: "Mr. Canalis, don't worry! Although these players are young, they are all as good as Gerrard. I can tell you, My goal this season is to upgrade!"

All three people at the scene were shocked. Yes, even Zhong Cheng's good friend Trevor Birch was also surprised. He had never heard Zhong Cheng say this before.And relying on this group of young players, is it possible?

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

Artolo Canalis can now understand why the media all over England and even the local fans in Leeds call Zhong Cheng a lunatic. This guy is really a lunatic.

Zhong Cheng fixed his eyes on Pique, and said very seductively: "Gerrard, don't you think it is a great initiative to bring a group of young people with an average age of about 20 years old to upgrade to the Premier League? When we stand On the stage of the Premier League, the whole world will cast endless admiration and envious eyes on us. We will become a generation of myths and be remembered by history! Don’t you feel tempted to join this great plan? ? Are you not excited or excited at all?"

Zhong Cheng stared at Pique with both eyes, and continued: "The most important thing is that even if we can't succeed in the end. But you also have a precious experience, a precious experience that your peers will never have the opportunity to get. And this experience It is only good for your future career, not bad!"

Although the young Gerard Pique was much more mature and confident than his peers, he was still bewitched by Zhong Cheng, blushing and passionate.

Artolo Canalis also had to nod to admit that Zhong Cheng is really an excellent speaker.Even at his age, he was a little excited when he heard 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 excited unconsciously, wanting to participate in it Come on. But you don't seem to be answering my question directly?"

Pique was taken aback when he heard the words, Zhong Cheng said so many exciting words, it seemed that he really didn't answer his agent's question directly.

Zhong Cheng smiled slightly and said, "The reason why I tell you this is because Gerrard has a very important position in my plan. Here I can guarantee that as long as Gerrard is in good condition, he will Must be the main central defender of our club!"

Both Artolo Canalis and Pique's eyes lit up, and this sentence made them very satisfied.

Although Leeds United will play in the English Championship this season, as far as they know, the standard of the English Championship is not low, and there are many games in the English Championship in a season, which is really a challenge for Pique who continues to play. great place to go.

Looking back, even if you go to Manchester United, Manchester United will definitely not give Pique a chance to the first team. They will also loan Pique out. Will the loaned Pique join the second level of the British Championship?Can the team that rented him focus on cultivating Pique?
Obviously, joining Manchester United has too many uncertain factors.On the contrary, it is not as real as joining Leeds United, because they have already got a lot of promises.

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

Artolo Canalis actually thought it would be better for Pique to join Leeds United, and he had already received tens of thousands of pounds in benefits from Zhong Cheng. At this time, he wanted to stand up and push Pique.

Artolo Canalis apologized slightly to Zhong Cheng and the two, and then said to Pique in Catalan: "Gerrard, I think Leeds United is a very good choice. You have enough chances to play, and you can't stay here forever. Why don't you stay here first and use the chances Leeds United gives to improve yourself and use Leeds United as a springboard?"

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

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

Yes, Pique and Manchester United have not signed a contract. Both parties were interested before, but even a verbal agreement between the two parties is useless. 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 from now on, do you?"

Pique shook his head, and at the same time he was firm in his mind.

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