Mister Legend

Chapter 33 Renewal Invitation

Li Mudi stopped in a hurry, clicked on the inbox of the mobile phone, and found that most of the text messages were sent from unknown numbers, clicked on a few randomly, and saw that the last text messages were all named as reporters from a certain media, and the content was roughly the same , are asking about Mbappe's evaluation.

Li Mudi frowned, thinking about two things: First, how did these reporters get my cell phone number?Who betrayed me?If you change the number, can you still get such a beautiful one? Second, what happened to Mbappe?
Just when classmate Xiao Li was going back to his room to check the news online, the phone rang again, and it was Qi Zu who called.After picking it up, without waiting for the other party to speak, Li Modi preemptively said: "What happened to Mbappe? A lot of media reporters asked me about his opinion."

"..." Obviously Qizu was caught off guard and didn't react for a while, and responded after a while: "You didn't watch the live broadcast of the game last night? Mbappe played and performed very well, contributing an assist. "

This is really good news, especially after Castilla has just attracted public attention, it is like adding fuel to the fire, and the topic of youth training has been fired to a new height, no wonder so many reporters contacted in the middle of the night Own.

After digesting the amazing performance of Mbappe's debut for a while, Li Mudi still couldn't hold back his curiosity, turned and walked to the room, ready to go online to read the news of last night's game, and talked with Qi Zu while walking.

"I was a little tired from the previous training and away games, so I spent the whole day supplementing sleep yesterday, and I went to bed early at night, and I forgot about the game when I got up in the morning. Yes, Rafa has become enlightened, and finally thinks of being a substitute Mbappe is on the table. This kid is also up to the task, and he has an assist in his first-team debut."

Qi Zu's tone was not as happy as that of his friends, "Yes, he assisted Ronaldo to score a goal after only playing for 12 minutes at the last moment. It is indeed an amazing debut, but it is too late."

Li Modi, who was already sitting at the table and pressed the computer's power button, immediately realized, "What's too late? Yesterday was an away game against Sevilla, right? This opponent is not easy to deal with, didn't you win?"

"Losing, 2-3, the advantage on the scene is quite obvious, but the ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal is really poor..." It can be heard that this defeat made Qi Zu feel a little frustrated.

Li Mudi comforted his friend a few words, and checked on the computer the focus match of the No. 11 round of La Liga last night.In the away game, Real Madrid had a ball possession rate of 54.6%. A total of 28 shots were hit 10 of them. In No.20, when Ramos scored the first goal in the second minute, only 5 shots were shot within the range of the goal frame. The home team scored three goals in a row, and Mbappe's assist was scored by Ronaldo, who also came off the bench. The goal occurred in the No.903 minute.

There are so many shooting opportunities, but the efficiency is completely blown by the opponent. The striker composed of Ronaldo, Bale and Isco is definitely to blame, but the on-the-spot deployment of the head coach Benitez is really weird.Both Isco and Ronaldo were in poor form in this game. The former didn't take a single shot in 63 minutes of playing time. Although he assisted the first goal, he didn't play much in the rest of the time. He replaced it earlier. Ronaldo, who is in very good condition, should be a better choice; as for the latter, although he is one of the only two quasi-ball champions today, but the 3-[-] shot and impatience, even if he can't be replaced, can he not? Let him fight alone outside the penalty area.Although this was Real Madrid's first league loss this season, it seriously hit the team's morale and was temporarily scored [-] points in the standings by rival Basara.And Li Mudi clearly remembered that the national derby two weeks later would be an even more unforgettable nightmare...

His thoughts were interrupted by the voice on the other end of the phone, "As soon as you answered the phone, you asked me about Mbappé, which confused me. I was looking for you for something else. Mr. Perez, please ask me to ask you to contact me at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." Go to his office."

oh?Lafayette please!Li Mudi had never been treated like this before, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Good or bad?"

With a smile in his words, Qi Zu said: "Good thing. After the game last night, Mr. Chairman talked to me for a while. He should want to renew the contract with you."

"..."

Unable to get the expected response, Qi Zu was a little confused. "What's the matter? What do you think about the contract renewal?"

After thinking for a while, Li Mudi responded, "When are you coming back? I'll look for you at night."

"I lost the game yesterday, and everyone was in a bad mood, so I flew back to Madrid overnight. I just slept for a while at home, and I was woken up by the children who were going to school, and I was going to go back to sleep later."

"Don't sleep yet, let me go over and have breakfast together." Without waiting for the other party to reply, Li Modi hung up the phone, and then turned off the computer.While calling to inform Solari that he would be absent from training in the morning, he walked out of the apartment and took a taxi to Qizu's house.

Qi Zu's home in Madrid is very close to the Real Madrid base. After all, five men in a family have to go there for a long time. In less than 10 minutes, Li Mudi sat at the dining table of Qi Zu's house and ate the bacon fried by Veronica.

The relationship between everyone is very close, so we don't care about the practice of "don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep", and chat while eating.

Hearing Qi Zu ask again about his attitude towards contract renewal, Li Mudi naturally had no reservations about his friend, and he explained all his dissatisfaction with the various restrictions faced by the reserve team coach, and finally said: "Castille For foreign rookie coaches like me, it can be said to be an excellent choice. Backed by a strong home team, there are many excellent seedlings, and the leagues they participate in are not strong, so they can easily achieve ideals. It can be said that various conditions cannot be better.”

Qi Zu, who was still in agreement, felt a little unnatural when he heard the last part. What does it mean to easily achieve ideal results?Last season, I led the team and only got No.5. You mean it is much better than me?
Li Mudi, who was still talking non-stop, found that no one was talking to him. He glanced to this side, and found that his friend had a fierce look in his eyes. He immediately stopped the previous topic, thought about it, and repeated in his mouth: "This season The players are one year older and have matured a lot, and if you were still coaching, they would definitely be successful."

Finally got over this paragraph, Li Modi continued to explain: "It stands to reason that I should be content, but you know, I will not be willing to be a marionette. I have been here for seven or eight years, and I have come into contact with enough things , What I need at this stage of growth is an opportunity to prove myself. But the head coach of Castilla can't help me achieve this goal. No matter how good I do, no one will really recognize me, because the above There is also a position - the head coach of the first team, everything I do is under his shadow, and half of the credit and results are divided by him, not to mention the results of the reserve team.

Qi Zu nodded solemnly, and responded: "Yes, I have also been in that position, and I completely understand."

Li Mudi also said very seriously: "We are the same kind of people, so we have become good friends. My ambition is your ambition. Otherwise, why would you take over Castilla without a coaching certificate? You will run to the first team at the call of Lafayette and be that special assistant, you are waiting for that opportunity."

"You still know me best in this world!" As soon as these words came out, the two of them suddenly had goosebumps all over their bodies, and Qi Zu even wondered if he was possessed by something, which is why he said such disgusting words.

After joking for a while, Qi Zu returned to the original topic: "Mr. Chairman should have seen that the boys you trained performed particularly well in the two weekend games and wanted to reward you. I remember that your contract is only for one year. He proposed to renew the contract after only one-third of the time, which shows how optimistic he is about you."

"Yes, I also respect Mr. Perez. But you know, Castilla's game is okay. The first team does not have a place for Mbappe under the command of Rafa. Wait until Benzema recovers from injury. After his comeback, he is likely to be returned to the reserve team, which means that he will no longer have such opportunities to perform in the future. When the limelight passes, everyone will gradually forget about the youth training and me. There is no ball in the first place The team will hire me as the head coach, and if I am trapped by a new contract and the liquidated damages increase, the possibility of my success in changing jobs will be even lower.”

Qi Zu felt that this made sense, and said: "It is indeed the case. Even if you can lead the team to the second division and attract the attention of other small teams, you may have to give up in the face of expensive liquidated damages."

After a moment of silence, he continued to ask: "Have other teams contacted you? Or is it just a test?"

Li Mudi shook his head helplessly, "It's only November, and I'm a head coach with only [-] games experience. Even if my results are still outstanding, who would take a fancy to me so hastily?"

Qi Zu also sighed, and then comforted: "Don't worry, as long as you show good results, gold will always shine." After a while, he continued: "Then what are you going to do tomorrow? Do you refuse? I think it’s good to wait until the end of the season to see the situation. If there is no better choice at that time, you can renew your contract for another year to play in the second division, strive for better results, and let more teams see your talent strength."

"Let's see what happens." Li Mudi replied relaxedly: "Anyway, I haven't found another job yet. If everything goes well, I don't mind raising my salary, as long as the conditions for leaving the team are suitable."

"Well, just make up your own mind, and I support it."

After breakfast, Li Modi praised Veronica's craftsmanship and got up to leave.Qi Zu sent him to the door, ready to go back to bed to catch up on sleep.

After Li Mudi said hello, he walked out of the gate, but suddenly turned around and asked his friend, "Are you going there tomorrow too?"

Qi Zu was taken aback, and then responded: "Although Mr. Perez said that I would go with you, since you have already decided, I will not participate. It is better for the two of you to talk alone."

Li Mudi looked into Qi Zu's eyes, and said flatly: "If you are free, I suggest you be there at that time, maybe there will be a surprise!" Then he turned and left.

Qi Zu leaned against the door frame, looked at the back of this friend who had known him for many years, frowned slightly, thinking about what his so-called surprise would be, could it be another classic book of metaphysics...
