Chapter 371
Wang Chu didn't know.
Li Shiguang knew it all.
In terms of talent alone, Wang Chu was the most talented player in the midfield position in China in the next ten years.
But if he didn't intervene.
Two years later, Wang Chu would return to China in a closed state without his thigh injury healed, participating in a game that Li Shiguang thought was insignificant. As a result, he was fouled maliciously by his compatriots, resulting in a tear of the lateral collateral ligament of his right foot.
You have to know that he was only 18 years old at that time. This injury ruined his future in Metz. When Wang Chu returned from recuperation, there was no place for him in the Metz team. According to the original plan, Wang Chu would be promoted to the first team immediately, but after this serious injury, Metz gradually lost patience, and later, naturally did not renew the contract with Wang Chu.
Li Shiguang knew that in Europe, a place full of young talents, there would not be so many opportunities waiting for Wang Chu. If you can't do it, there will naturally be others to take over.
And as the owner of the club, Li Shiguang also understood the way Metz handled it.
So before signing the contract with Wang Chu, he had to make this clear.
Li Shiguang wanted Wang Chu to know clearly that although he was no longer bound by the contract with the Jincheng Football Association, he must not let them call him to play the emotional card, and then this kid would get excited and come to him to say that he wanted to return to China to play those inexplicable games!
"Wang, there is no problem with the contract. Mr. Li is also very sincere in terms of salary." Seeing that Li Shiguang and Wang Chu had temporarily ended the conversation, Raiola, who had already read the contract, also took advantage of the opportunity to speak to Wang Chu and praised Li Shiguang.
Other agents would do everything they could to get a higher salary for the players. After all, the higher the player's salary, the higher the commission the agent can get.
But when it came to Raiola, he could actually say in front of the player that the salary offered to him by the boss Li Shiguang was very sincere.
Wang Chu was also young and did not notice this problem at all.
After receiving the contract handed over by Raiola, Xiao Wangchu only took a quick look, then nodded and put the contract on the coffee table, picked up the pen in front of him, and prepared to sign his name.
"Don't you want to take another look?" Looking at Wangchu who was about to sign, Li Shiguang asked with interest.
"No, boss." Wang Chu replied while writing without raising his head, "Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people. This is what you said to me when I first met you at Xijiang University."
"Hahahaha, you kid..." Li Shiguang took the contract handed over by Wang Chu with a smile in his eyes and stretched out his right hand, "Then, welcome to Leeds United, little Wang Chu!"
Wang Chu stood up excitedly, wiped his palm on himself, and shook Li Shiguang's hand: "Thank you, boss!"
After shaking hands with Wang Chu, Li Shiguang also stood up and prepared to turn around and walk to his desk: "Okay, then you go back first, remember not to go to the wrong training ground tomorrow morning!"

November 8.
Elland Road Stadium.
Leeds United ushered in the second Champions League group match between the Ukrainian powerhouse-Dynamo Kyiv.
This game is very important for both teams.
Leeds United is to qualify in advance.
Dynamo Kyiv, which lost all three games in the first half, was fighting for its first win in the Champions League this season, and on the other hand, it was also to keep their hope of qualifying, which was close to zero.
Facing Li Shiguang, who had defeated him 2-4 at home in the last game in Kyiv.
Today, even if Oleg Luzhny, the interim coach of Dynamo Kyiv, wanted to win another victory, he still played a 4-5-1 defensive formation at Elland Road.
Li Shiguang continued to use the 4-2-3-1 formation he used against Chelsea in the last game.
Before the game, in the locker room, Li Shiguang gave a simple speech, which was so simple that it only had one sentence.
"Today's game, I not only want to win, but also win by a large score! So after the game starts, please run for me, I want you to destroy the opponent's confidence in the first half!"
After the game started, the Leeds United players did so.
The crazy attack they launched directly shattered Luzhny's fantasy.
From the moment the referee blew the opening whistle, Dynamo Kyiv hardly passed the ball to Leeds United's half, let alone got a chance to shoot. Their striker Milevsky stood alone in the frontcourt. If it weren't for the strong physical fitness of a professional player, the young center even doubted whether he would catch a cold in the cold wind in Leeds!In the first half hour, the situation of the game was one-sided.
In the 31st minute, Leeds United's crazy siege began to work.
Bale's breakthrough on the wing was destroyed by the opponent and Leeds United got a corner kick.
Then Modric's corner kick went straight to the back of Dynamo Kyiv's penalty area. Hummels, who had been lurking here, overpowered Vashchuk who was defending him, jumped high and hit the football hard with his forehead.
Goalkeeper Shovkovsky could not react in time and could only watch the football slip past him and fall into the net behind him! 1:0!
After losing the ball.
Dynamo Kyiv began to try to counterattack.
But Leeds United would not give them such an opportunity.
Six minutes later.
Kaka received Ribery's straight pass on the right side, rushed all the way into the penalty area, attracted the attention of two defenders and knocked in front of the door.
Torres, who had already run to the penalty spot, rushed over and kicked the ball into the goal guarded by Shovkovsky again! 2:0!
After the halftime break of 15 minutes, the two sides changed sides and continued the game.
With the cheers of more than 50,000 fans at the scene, Leeds United's offensive was even stronger in the second half.
In the 73rd minute, Kaka's breakthrough caused the opponent to foul, and Leeds United won a free kick in the frontcourt.
Modric again.
Hummels again.
The ball was also passed to the back of the goal.
Although the person defending Hummels this time was replaced by another central defender Fedorov, like Vashchuk, he failed to stop Hummels from jumping, and the German central defender scored his second goal of the game with his head! Leeds United also basically locked the victory.
But it's not over yet.
In the 87th minute of the game, Ribery passed the ball after a one-on-one pass on the right side. Because the pass was a little far back, Torres, who jumped up to compete for the header, had to point the ball back to the front of the penalty area.
Fortunately, Kaka, who had been lurking nearby, saw everything.
When the ball landed, he was just in place.
A volley!
It penetrated Shafkovsky's fingers again!
4:0!
Leeds United won a big victory at Elland Road, and at the same time, they became the first team to reach the top 16 of the 2007-2008 Champions League!
