i don't want to be king

Chapter 224 Man-to-man talk—man-to-man talk!

The low-key, gentle, and smiling middle-aged uncle in front of him made it hard for Li Liang to believe that he was the "magic bird" who commanded several steel divisions and was known for his iron blood, toughness, and rebelliousness.

Li Liang's rhetorical question made Mourinho's smile disappear, and the Portuguese slowly lowered his head.

When he raised his head again, Li Liang almost jumped out of his chair!

In an instant, he saw Mourinho's eyes suddenly became sharp and aggressive!

An unusually strong aura emanated from the Portuguese, which surprised him.

This feeling disappeared suddenly and instantly, Li Liang still tensed his body tensely.

In front of him was the amiable uncle from before.

Mourinho smiled and said: "Li, you mean, why did I come to you at this time?
That's because at Stamford Bridge I saw all your hard work.

——You are eager to win and are willing to give everything for the team, aren't you? "

Only then did Li Liang relax: "Yes, sir.

But who sets foot on the field not to win? "

Mourinho put away his smile and said with emphasis: "For me, helping ambitious players realize their wishes is an indescribable pleasure!

And once you experience it for the first time, this feeling will be completely addictive.

So I can't see a player who is so eager for victory like you, getting further and further away from his wish!

It's a crime if you go to a team that doesn't seek real winning! "

Li Liang was shocked, not only was the Portuguese once again showing an astonishingly fierce aura, but also these words that accurately touched his heart!
……

Next, Mourinho expressed his thoughts frankly.

He told Li Liang: "I will definitely continue to coach in England next season——

And that team extended an invitation to you. "

Li Liang instantly understood that the rumors that Old Xu told him were not groundless.

He couldn't help being moved. When the sports media all over the world were paying close attention to Mourinho's whereabouts, the Portuguese opposite him actually trusted him so much!

In an instant, Li Liang discovered that Mourinho did not seem to be exactly what he imagined.

Mourinho added: "But I wouldn't advise you to come to England now.

Frankly speaking, considering your age and current level, I am afraid that no team here will formulate a systematic training plan for you.

The most important thing is that you will not be able to play official games for a long time. "

Li Liang's heart became hot, and he almost confessed that Lyon and Monaco were also interested in him.

Li Liang pondered for a moment and asked, "Sir, if it wasn't to help some team recruit me, then why did you tell me these things?"

Mourinho first smiled, then immediately became serious again.

He said to Li Liang: "Li, there are many excellent players in this world, and every coach always wants to get the best players.

But God is indeed fair to every player, and it is difficult to have a perfect player.

For example, the most powerful Leo Messi, it is difficult for him to lead the Argentina team with many top players to win the World Cup.

Another example is Cristiano (C Ronaldo), who, like Rio, often struggles in international competitions.

And you, Lee—

You have a strong and rare spiritual strength and fighting spirit!

It's a pity that you are 25 years old and you are still anxious about whether you can play at a high level, isn't it? "

Li Liang was taken aback. He never thought that Mourinho would have such a high opinion of him, and at the same time he pointed out his biggest dilemma right now.

Seeing Li Liang's brows gradually furrowed, Mourinho smiled again: "Don't worry, Li!

That's why I'm here.

I don't like to see which reserves you are in or small balls waste lives!

- If you don't start playing 'real' games until you're 27 or 8, then it's too late! "

Li Liang blurted out: "Mr. Mourinho, what should I do?"

Before he knew it, he already believed that the Portuguese on the opposite side was completely trustworthy!

Mourinho replied: "Please call me 'Jose'."

If you want to insist on looking for opportunities in the so-called 'big five leagues', let me analyze it for you.

The Spanish league has the undisputed 3 strongest players in the world today, don't I need to tell you who they are? "

Li Liang shook his head with a smile.

Mourinho continued: "And this fact will not be shaken for at least five years!
However, your characteristics are not yet able to gain a foothold there.

——There is more emphasis on delicate personal skills and fine coordination. Like your current offensive core style of play, it is not realistic to want to be the main force. "

As the saying goes, bystanders are clear, authorities are lost.As soon as Mourinho spoke, Li Liang realized that these were the things he needed to know most right now.

Mourinho raised his hand to signal the waiter to add some tea to Li Liang, and then said: "Maybe you can find some opportunities in Germany, which is also one of the most suitable leagues for the development of foreign players.

Apart from Bayern Munich and the few other teams that regularly play in the Champions League, you can definitely find opportunities in the rest of the teams.

Going to Ligue [-] is also a good choice, there are also several high-level teams there.It was a league where it was easy for newcomers to get their chances, and there were some very good coaches. "

Li Liang suddenly remembered that Xiaoli said that he originally planned to arrange for himself to go to Milan for trial training, so he couldn't help asking: "What about Serie A?
Sir, you must know it better than others, you made brilliant achievements in Milan back then! "

Mourinho smiled, clearly recalling fond memories: "It was the most defensive league there.

Li, I don't know if you are aware of it - this is your biggest problem right now.

——Your performance on the field is far from being as simple as attacking strong and defending weakly, you also can't defend at all! "

Li Liang was startled, and almost knocked over the teacup in his hand!
Mourinho gave him a meaningful look: "Of course you can continue to make up for this through a lot of systematic training, but there is another important prerequisite-you must participate in as many games as possible!

In Serie A unless you can reach a very high level, I think --

At least 10 goals and 5 assists can be brought to the team every season!

Otherwise, a midfielder who can't defend can't be the main force there!
——The most optimistic estimate, maybe you can get a total of about 300 minutes of playing time throughout the season-by the way, you have to count the cup games. "

Hearing this, Li Liang was shocked. He knew very well that Mourinho's analysis was very professional and objective, which was also the main reason why he had been inexplicably anxious before!
He finally understood why Lao Xu admired the Portuguese so much!
——If Jia can get the guidance of such a top coach, he will definitely avoid a lot of detours!

Li Liang found that the Mourinho in front of him and the "madman" on the TV and on the Internet were almost completely two people.

He couldn't help saying, "Thank you Jose!

I really appreciate it, your words mean a lot to me.

However, I also have some other questions I want to ask you..."

Mourinho became serious again, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Li, I know what you want to ask?
Are you wondering why Jose Mourinho isn't that scary guy with demon wings, vampire teeth, and mouth that breathes fire? ! "

Li Liang laughed out loud, and the others in the restaurant couldn't help looking over.

Li Liang said embarrassingly: "Jose, I just saw you today and realized that it is completely different from the news I saw and read before. You are not like that."

Mourinho said solemnly: "Li, if one day you are lucky enough to be your head coach, then you will definitely see and imagine that terrible 'me'!
Because that's the only way I can lead you to victory!

In addition, first of all, I am a father and a husband. I am an elder in front of you, and I would rather you treat me as a good friend! "

Li Liang was completely moved, and he believed that what he heard was from the bottom of his heart.

Mourinho continued: "In football, maybe I'm not like everyone else.

But I prefer to take the players to win more championships and glory in their precious and short careers.

I know why some people don't like me, they always say that I'm constantly 'squeezing' players' potential.

But unfortunately, usually most people will lose some motivation after achieving success-

That's something I can't stand, and whenever something like this happens to a team, I know it's time to go.

——so what I really need are never-satisfied players, just like you! "
