i don't want to be king

Chapter 449 Businessman's Vision

Although there are still more than half of the vacant seats in the stands, the fans are singing and dancing, and the scene is like a grand festival.

At the age of 18, in the second season, with a half-time hat-trick, Mbappe successfully ignited everyone's passion.

Every time he touched the ball in the game after that, he was greeted with cheers.

Monaco's vice-chairman Vasilyev was very proud of himself. It was he who insisted on Jardim giving the 18-year-old young man constant opportunities to play. Now he finally reaped the rewards, and Mbappe broke out completely.

And next to Vasilyev sat Chairman Nasser of Greater Paris.

Already sweeping Ligue [-], Nasser, who is now extremely eager for the Champions League, is also eager for talents. He does not hide his yearning for Mbappe, a talented player.

Nasser even hinted to Vasilyev in the previous meeting that money is definitely not a problem. As long as Monaco is willing to let him go, Paris will definitely send the most lucrative offer.

In the last meeting, according to the suggestion of his staff Kluivert, in addition to Mbappe, Nasser only discussed the possibility of other forms of transactions with Vasilyev, such as packing the two parties including Mbappe at the same time. To three players, or add individual players from Greater Paris to the deal.

He didn't show his interest in Li Liang, firstly because he also wanted to see if Li Liang could have a stable performance.

Another reason is that relatively speaking, the 18-year-old Mbappe is undoubtedly more worthy of Paris to chase. This is also the consensus view of dozens of scouting reports about Mbappe on Nasser's file shelf and the club's management.

The two top figures in Ligue [-] had their own thoughts, sitting in the VIP seats and watching the game intently.

Rennes fell behind by 3 goals but let go of their hands and feet. After unloading all the burdens, these little-known players began to give it a go.And Monaco also played a little relaxed after leading by 3 goals, which made the scene more intense.

Before the end of the first half, Mbappe fell to the ground after colliding with the opponent's defender Lanjeni during a breakthrough, and there were huge boos from the audience.

Vasilyev and Nasser frowned at the same time, and the Russian even waved his hand in disapproval.

Grimendi also stood up. He was also very nervous. Even if he was not tasked with observing Mbappe, he also did not want this talented young man to encounter any accidents.

The referee blew his whistle, warned Ranjeni verbally, glanced at Mbappe who fell to the ground, and immediately waved for the team doctor to enter the field.

Jardim immediately got up and came to the sidelines, watching the team doctor Parker and his assistant nervously.

After some inspections, Parker turned back and gave a high thumbs up, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In the applause of relief from the audience, Mbappe finally stood up with the help of Parker, and he limped off to receive treatment.

The game entered stoppage time in the first half, and Jardim directly signaled Mbappe, who had completed treatment, not to play.

Vasilyev kept shaking his head, and complained to Nasser about Rennes' foul. Nasser echoed and said, "Kylian doesn't need to persist any longer, even if he wins the League Cup, it's not worth sacrificing his health." adventure!"

Sure enough, after returning to the locker room at the end of halftime, even though Mbappe repeatedly stated that he had no problem and could continue the game, Jardim decided to replace Mbappe with Li Liang just to be on the safe side!
Hearing this decision, Li Liang didn't react for a while.

Although Gaudino told himself that he would get a chance to play in this game before entering the field, Li Liang thought it would be after the regular substitution time after halftime in the second half, but he did not expect to play in the second half!
As soon as the tactical arrangement during the intermission was over, Spignoli slapped Li Liang's back hard and shouted: "Come on, Li, let's warm up!"

Before the half-time break, Gaudino saw Li Liang running out of the player tunnel first, and started a tense warm-up with the help of Spignoli and Vieira. He smiled with satisfaction.

From the first day he came to Latubi, Jardim, known as a "scholar-type" coach by the outside world, has always hoped that Gaudino can spare time to give professional guidance to his team.

As the world's number one physical training expert, Gaudino has never commented on this proposal.

After spending two days getting to know Li Liang, he finally agreed to Yardim's request - but he put forward one condition: he hoped that Yardim could play in the not-so-important League Cup Here, give Li Liang at least 1 minutes of playing time, so that he can complete the tasks arranged by Lippi and fully understand Li Liang's real situation.

Jardim readily agreed to this condition. He not only kept his promise, but also gave Li Liang enough playing time for 45 minutes in the first half.

Grimandi was refreshed, and immediately began to concentrate on observing. It was less than 5 minutes before the start of the second half. He believed that with Li Liang's appearance, the answers to these puzzling questions would be revealed.

The fans are not forgetful. Seeing the hero of the team's Champions League victory in the group, Li Liang, the hero in everyone's mind, is expected to play, they gave applause and cheers.

Grimandi laughed. Judging from the reaction of the fans, the reason for being frozen should not be Li Liang.

Godino was also a little surprised. Although he had seen the video and heard the descriptions of Pezzotti and De Rosso, Li Liang's high popularity at the scene still surprised him.

Seeing this scene, Vasilyev was displeased. He always believed that although Li Liang had shown amazing strength after coming to Latubi, and he had already made a special trip to Shanghai to sign Li Liang City 3 times, but Yardim's practice of reusing Li Liang before is absolutely unacceptable!
Vasilyev is different from ordinary club executives. He has a vicious eye like a professional scout for identifying the potential of players.

Facts have proved that it is very wise for him to take a high look at Mbappe. The 18-year-old Mbappe from the pure French youth training system must have a brighter future than the 26-year-old amateur master Li Liang from Haicheng, China.

From a businessman's point of view, Vasilyev is not wrong at all. Compared with competitive value, he values ​​the commercial returns that players may bring in the future.

Nasser laughed, and finally couldn't help asking: "How did you find a player like No. 17?"

Vasilyev was shocked. As Monaco's biggest competitor in Ligue [-], and also as his old client, when he sought to buy Kurzawa two years ago, Nasser's way of signing at a low price made Vasilyev Husband so far amazed.

Contrary to himself, Nasser, who has the financial power behind him, does not consider the economic balance or other issues. He only pursues honor and is willing to send Paris to the highest podium in Europe at any cost.

Vasilyev looked at Nasser with some surprise. He knew that this Qatari who plays an important role in the advanced world football has a capable style and would never say meaningless nonsense.

Vasilyev turned his attention back to the field, and the second half of the game began immediately.

Li Liang was standing on the sidelines ready to play, and there was another warm applause from the stands.
