Chapter 366
The successful victory over Chelsea brought Leeds United's points to 26, surpassing Manchester United again and coming to the second place in the standings.
Not only that.
Since Arsenal, the top team, has only gained two points in the last two rounds of games, their current points are only two points higher than Leeds United.
This gave Li Shiguang hope of competing for the half-time championship.
If they can win Tottenham Hotspur away next week, then their match with Arsenal after the international match day will have a high probability of determining who will be the half-time champion of this season!
After a day of rest.
The entire Leeds United team returned to the Thorp Arch training base and began to prepare for the Champions League group match against Dynamo Kyiv on Thursday.
Although they won the last game 4:1 away from home, Li Shiguang still attaches great importance to this game where they can qualify and determine the first place in the group!
But today he just stepped onto the training ground of Thorp Arch.
Simeone came up to him and said in a surprised tone: "Boss! Mourinho is fired!"
Finally fired! ?
After hearing the news from Simeone, Li Shiguang didn't show much expression on his face, but his heart was already in turmoil.
The reason was very simple.
Because in his memory, Mourinho should have been fired in September this year, not long after the start of the new season, because of the friction with Abramovich in the summer transfer window!
When it was almost the date in his memory, Li Shiguang deliberately paid attention to the news at that time. However, the calm media on that day let Li Shiguang know that his appearance changed another thing.
So when Simeone told him the news just now, Li Shiguang was more or less shocked.
It was indeed changed, but not much.
It seems that Abramovich didn't want to fire Mourinho, he just happened to let himself act as the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Fortunately, in order to achieve his goal, he did a favor to the Portuguese.
Otherwise, Mourinho might hate himself in his heart at this time!
····
After chatting with Simeone for a few words, Li Shiguang put the matter behind him and devoted himself to the training work.
But the morning training had just ended, and Li Shiguang had not returned to his office when he received an unexpected call.
"Hello, Jorge."
"Hello, Li!"
Listening to the low voice coming from the phone, Li Shiguang took the phone in front of him strangely and took a look. After confirming that it was a call from Mendes, he put it back to his ear and asked suspiciously: "Who are you?"
"I'm Jose..."
Mourinho? Why did he call me?
Pushing open the door of his office, Li Shiguang looked strange and replied: "Ah! Hello, Jose! Uh... You called me, is there something?"
Mourinho on the other end of the phone did not answer Li Shiguang's question, but asked directly: "I believe you already know?"
Know that you are fired?
Are you trying to be sarcastic to me, the accomplice who indirectly caused him to be dismissed?
I won’t let you succeed!
Li Shiguang sat back on the chair and lied calmly, "Know what?"
Mourinho sighed on the other end of the phone, "Hey... I left Chelsea!"
"Leaving Chelsea...!" Li Shiguang's tone was full of disbelief, "How is it possible!? When did this happen!?"
"The club notified Jorge and me yesterday afternoon. Didn't you see the overwhelming news reports about this matter this morning?"
"Oh... I'm sorry, Jose." Although Mourinho couldn't see it, Li Shiguang still shook his head, "I was busy training as soon as I arrived at the base this morning, and I really didn't see the news."
After explaining the reason, without waiting for Mourinho to speak, Li Shiguang was very funny and indignant, rubbing salt into the Portuguese's wound: "But you just said that the club notified you and Jorge, so Chelsea fired you? Is Roman crazy!? How could he make such a stupid decision!"
What does it mean to be fired! ? Why do you sound like I'm a Chelsea ox? ?
I'm saying I left Chelsea! Do you know how to use words? ? Can you understand the key points of my words? ?
Mourinho's breath stagnated on the other end of the phone, and he was choked by Li Shiguang's words and couldn't think of how to answer for a while.
"So..... what's the matter with you calling me today?" Listening to the voice on the phone,Hearing the gradually heavier breathing, Li Shiguang knew that it was time to change the subject, so he asked the question for the second time.
"Ah? Oh!" Mourinho came to his senses after hearing Li Shiguang's question and quickly answered, "I came to thank you?"
"Thank me?" Li Shiguang, who didn't think about Inter Milan for a while, was full of question marks and blurted out, "Thank me for what? Thank me for leading Leeds United to win Chelsea the day before yesterday, and getting you fired!?"
Damn it!
Mourinho's temper was not good to begin with.
Li Shiguang's words undoubtedly cut another wound on his wound.
This made Mourinho turn his head and look at Mendes sitting next to him, and the phone in his hand creaked.
Since the phone was not on the speaker, Mendes did not hear what Li Shiguang said. He could only look at the phone in Mourinho's hand with a confused look on his face, his face full of heartache...
After a long silence, Mourinho thought about the call with Moratti that he had just hung up, calmed down his mood, and then spoke again in a bad tone: "No!!! I called you to thank you for your recommendation to Mr. Moratti."
Fuck!
Forget about this!
As soon as Mourinho said this, Li Shiguang showed an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face, and then he realized how much harm his subconscious answer had caused to Mourinho. So he also laughed dryly: "Ahahahahaha..... So it's this matter! Sorry, sorry, I didn't think about it just now! But have you already discussed it? So fast?"
Li Shiguang's tone didn't sound like pretending.
Mourinho's anger was also mostly gone, and the gratitude to Li Shiguang in his heart before making this call once again filled his mind.
"Well, Jorge and I just finished talking to Mr. Moratti. Although many details have not been discussed, if nothing unexpected happens, my next stop should be Inter Milan."
"That's great! Congratulations, Jose! When will you take office? Next season?"
"Probably not. According to Mr. Moratti, I should take over the team at the end of December."
Li Shiguang: ???
