Chapter 240
Hearing the two names that Li Shiguang just reported, Moratti asked in confusion: "Dzeko? Vardy? Mr. Li, this is the first time I have heard of these two players."
"Mr. Moratti, they are all young players loaned to other teams by Leeds United this season, and now they have secured their starting positions in their respective teams." On the other end of the phone, Li Shiguang smiled sinisterly, "You can ask your scouts to check it out first. If you think it's okay, we can talk about the price."
However, Moratti didn't seem to be very interested in Dzeko and Vardy. He changed the subject: "Actually, I want Zlatan..."
But Li Shiguang immediately realized his unrealistic idea and interrupted him immediately: "No, no, no, you don't want to, Mr. Moratti, Zlatan is very important to Leeds United now, I have no plans to sell him for the time being, I hope you can understand what I mean."
"Not for the time being? Does that mean it will be in the future?"
"Of course! I just said that the football world Everything in the world can be measured by money! The reason why I rejected you just now is simply because he is still useful to Leeds United now! "
"Oh! Okay! Mr. Li, Folentino told me before that you are a master negotiator. I didn't believe it at first. "Morati smiled helplessly, and his tone softened, "But today I have seen it. I must admit that you have convinced me. I will send someone to investigate the strength of the two players you mentioned. If it is appropriate, they can be added to the deal with Adriano. But I still have to remind you that Adriano himself has a deep affection for Inter Milan. If you want to convince him to join Leeds United, you probably have to spend some effort, hehe. "
Seeing that Morati finally gave in, Li Shiguang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course, thank you for your reminder, Mr. Morati. This is not the first time I have done this kind of thing, hahahaha."

Having dealt with Adriano, Li Shiguang felt extremely comfortable.
The first thing he did when he arrived at the office the next day was to call Raiola to inform him that he had already dealt with Moratti and asked him to remember to prepare Adriano psychologically after returning to Italy.
After finishing these things, Li Shiguang refocused his attention on the second round of the match with AC Milan two days later.
Just as he had discussed with Simeone before, he had already decided on the tactics for this game.

April 12, Elland Road Stadium.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for tuning in to Sky Sports and watching the second round of the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals between Leeds United and AC Milan. I am your old friend Lineker!"
"Hello everyone, I am Jon!"
After the two commentators finished their opening remarks.
Lineker couldn't wait to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams: "We have now obtained the starting lineups of the two teams! Now let's take a look at the starting 11 of Leeds United, who are playing at home! Leeds United's lineup today has changed a lot. First of all, Li used a 4-3-3 formation to deal with this game! The goalkeeper is still Schmeichel, and the defenders from left to right are Lahm, Thiago Silva, Kompany and Sun Jihai. The three midfielders are the single defensive midfielder Mascherano and two central midfielders, Toure and Sneijder. On the front line, Ibrahimovic is in the middle, but on his left and right, it was replaced by Bei Lingjie today. and Ribery!"
"Next, let's take a look at AC Milan's starting lineup! Ancelotti still uses his favorite 4-3-2-1 Christmas tree formation, starting goalkeeper Dida, Jankulovski, Maldini, Nesta, Oddo lined up on the back line, the five midfielders are Gattuso, Pirlo and Ambrosini, the two in front are still Kaka and Seedorf, and the forward, Ancelotti replaced Gilardino who started the last game with Inzaghi today. "
"Jon, what do you think of the two teams' starting lineups today?" After introducing the starting lineups, Lineker immediately threw the topic to Jon beside him.
Jon was prepared for the habits of his old partner.
When Lineker was reading the list, he was already looking at the starting lineups of the two teams and analyzing them.
So as soon as Lineker finished speaking, he immediately started to talk about his own opinions.
"Let's talk about the visiting team first. Ancelotti didn't make many adjustments today. He just replaced Gilardino with Inzaghi. But the two forwards have completely different playing styles. In my opinion, Inzaghi may be more difficult to deal with than Gilardino."
"Indeed, this guy's movement is too ghostly." Lineker next to him quickly opened his mouth to praiseJoke mode.
Jon rolled his eyes at Lineker and continued, "Then let's take a look at the home team. Alves' accidental injury in yesterday's training and Cannavaro's red card forced Li to make adjustments in the back line today. We can only hope that Sun and Silva can withstand the offensive that AC Milan will definitely launch immediately when the referee blows the whistle. After all, a draw means elimination for them."
"In fact, I didn't expect Li to make such a huge change in the arrangement of the front court today before the game. Gary, do you remember what we discussed after the last game?"
Lineker was stunned at first, and after thinking about it, he suddenly realized: "You mean how Leeds United can limit Kaka?"
"Yes!" Jon nodded and continued, "From the last game, we can see that Leeds United's defense is not enough to limit Kaka! Didn't we discuss who Li should send to keep an eye on Kaka? Kaka? "
"Yes, yes, that's right!"
"But now it seems that Li seems to have found another idea. He knows that he can't find any player in his team who can completely limit Kaka, so today he wants to reduce Kaka's chances of getting the ball by compressing the space in the midfield! "
"Although it seems that Leeds United is playing a 4-3-3 formation now. But I guess they are actually playing 4-5-1! In the offense, Ribery and Bale play the role of left and right wingers, and the purpose is to use their speed to attack the two flanks of AC Milan! But once they fall into defense, they will most likely retreat quite deep and move closer to the middle, in this way to try to destroy the connection between Pirlo and Kaka! "
"Fuck, it's good, Jon!" Lineker didn't expect Jon to see so many things from a starting lineup, and quickly praised his old partner.
Then, the TV screen turned, and the players of the two teams had appeared in the player tunnel.
Lineker quickly cleared his throat and spoke.
"Okay, the game is about to begin! Ladies and gentlemen, let's see if Jon's analysis is correct!"
