The conversation with Florentino ended quickly.
Florentino, who had just resigned from Real Madrid, invited Li George to be the head coach of Real Madrid as soon as he opened his mouth.
Of course not now, because the current president of Real Madrid is Ramon Calderon.
Lafayette invited George Lee to become the head coach of Real Madrid after he returned as chairman a few years later.
But what he got was a negative reply from George Li.
"Haha~" As if knowing that George Li would refuse, Lafayette continued to chat with Li, and the content of the chat must be about criticizing Barcelona and Calderon.
In the past few years, especially since Barcelona introduced Ronaldinho, Real Madrid has been suppressed by Barcelona. Whether it is the league or the Champions League, they can only watch their mortal enemy win the championship, while Florentino himself keeps winning. Attacked by fans.
Continuous recruitment failures, constant replacement of head coaches, and results suppressed by mortal enemies eventually led to Lafayette's resignation.
The person who succeeded him was his former younger brother, Calderon.
Ramon Calderon helped Uscia run for office as a staff member in 1991; he started running with Florentino in 1995 and served as secretary-general; he became a member of the Real Madrid board of directors in 2002; he helped Lafayette be re-elected in 2004.
Until this year, when Lafayette finally resigned, he teamed up with former Real Madrid star Mijatovic as a running partner and successfully became the 18th chairman of Real Madrid.
"Is he the only one who wants to be the president of Real Madrid?"
"..."
"Kaka, Robben, Fabregas... He actually wants to buy Fabregas, Real Madrid will actually buy a Barcelona player."
"Where's Figo, isn't it?"
Lafayette kept complaining about his successor, thinking that the signing policy he proposed was bullshit.
Li George could only remind him that he had also bought Barcelona players before, and the movement was quite big.
"Figo is different. Cesc Fabregas was trained by Barcelona since he was a child. It is impossible for him to come to Real Madrid."
"All right."
"He also wants Capello to be the head coach. He will never see Real Madrid's mercury-laden offense again. The game will definitely be ugly..."
In short, Lafayette kept complaining, and George Li listened.
Until the end, Lafayette finally revealed his purpose.
It was not his intention to invite Li George to teach and complain about Barcelona and Calderon, it was just to elicit the last thing.
He wants to promote friendly relations between Real Madrid and Leeds United.
As for what kind of relationship it is, George Lee can be understood as the relationship in which Real Madrid sold Alonso and Ronaldo to Bayern in later generations, and Bayern sold Toni Kroos to Real Madrid.
"If you can extend an invitation to cooperate as the next president of Real Madrid, then I can completely agree to this cooperation agreement on behalf of our chairman."
"Haha, you are such a smart young man. No wonder David keeps praising you in front of me."
"He even asked me to coach, right?"
"What do you think?" Lafayette asked George Li.
"Then I hope that after you return as chairman, the first thing you do is sell him to me so that I can let him come to Leeds United to play as a defensive midfielder."
"You won't." Lafayette stood up with a smile. He had achieved his purpose of coming here and was ready to leave.
"I hope you can return soon and I really hope to play against your Real Madrid in the Champions League."
"Where is Real Madrid now?"
"Only your Real Madrid can be called a galactic battleship." George Li continued to compliment Lafayette.
"Let's go. Please don't send me away. I'm free now. I really have time to walk more."
"Really?" George Li looked at Lafayette with a wicked smile.
"Sure enough, I can't lie to you." Lafayette told the truth. "At first, I felt very relaxed after resigning. But the next day, I felt extremely uncomfortable. I vowed that I would definitely take back my position."
"I'm curious why you came to Leeds United and not Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal or whatever."
"Because your white jersey is as beautiful as our Real Madrid white jersey."
"Thank you!" George Li believed that this was Lafayette's high praise for Leeds United and himself.
Now that Lafayette is gone, George Li is very curious about where his next stop will be?
Germany? Italy?

The training camp in Austria and Hungary, which lasted more than 20 days, ended soon.
At the beginning of August, the entire Leeds United team returned to Leeds. After a short three-day break, they will start the new season again.
The first game was the first leg of the Champions League third round qualifying match at Elland Road on August 10. Leeds United faced Dinamo Zagreb at home.
Croatia, or rather the old powerhouse of the former Yugoslavia, has produced countless Croatian stars.
The most well-known is Davao Suker, who claims to have a "left foot that can play the violin."
There is also the former Leeds United player and now the famous Leeds United black Australian forward, Mark Viduka.
"I think Dinamo Zagreb will defeat Leeds United and reach the Champions League group stage. I am very optimistic about my cousin. He will perform well in the game and lead the team to defeat the opponent."
This is what Viduka said during an interview with the media.
In his words, he not only expressed disapproval of Leeds United, but also kept praising his cousin who plays for Dinamo Zagreb.
As soon as Li George returned home from the training camp, he saw this interview with Viduka playing on the TV.
"Why do Australians have a Croatian cousin?" Helen, who drove to pick up Charlotte and George Lee, followed him in.
I saw the TV interview and asked George.
"What's the matter? An English father and three sons of different nationalities, and none of them are English."
George Li told Helen his own example, and Helen felt that what he said made sense.
After all, George Li’s story is more magical than Viduka’s.
It's just that she knew about it, so it wasn't surprising. It would be even more surprising if it were told to someone who didn't know.
"I hope you can teach Viduka's cousin a lesson during the competition so that both of them will be more honest in the future."
Helen was obviously aware of the conflict between Viduka and George Li, which had not eased in the past two years.
Viduka, who left Leeds United, kept saying bad things about Lee George, and Lee George would always target him in the game with Viduka.
Last season, there was a conflict between the two, causing George Lee to be sent to the stands for the first time in his life.
"It's hard to play. That player is pretty good."
"That cousin? What's his name?"
"Luka Modric."
"Uh~, I've never heard of it." Olson suddenly said while watching TV.
Helen had never heard of Olson, so it was even more impossible for her to know. After all, she was not from the football industry.
"Karl, which TV station is this program on?" George Li asked Olson.
"BBC, can't you see the logo in the upper left corner?"
George Li nodded, he seemed to have discovered something was wrong with him.
"Go to Charlotte quickly, he has brought you a gift."
"Oh, NICE!" Olson rushed upstairs like the wind, preparing to call Wallace to go against Charlotte Olson.
George Li downstairs suddenly said to Helen: "Can you go out with me again?"
^^^
Three days later, when Leeds United's players and coaches gathered again at the Thorpe Arch training ground, they all looked at their manager in surprise.
On the bridge of George Li's nose, he wore a pair of very elegant gold-rimmed glasses.
