Chapter 487
Raiola was big, so he took up a chair by himself, while Allen and Kante sat on another chair next to him.
As soon as he sat down.
Raiola got straight to the point.
"N'Golo, you just said you know me, so you should know what I do! Then I'll be frank, I want to sign an agent contract with you, become your agent, and help you manage your career!"
"Okay."
"Signing a contract with me is very good..." Raiola's long speech was interrupted by Kante's faint voice before he started, "No, what did you just say? Okay?"
"Yes, Mr. Raiola." Kante nodded gently.
Now it was Raiola's turn to look incredulous.
When he signed a contract with a player, he had to talk for a long time, negotiate various conditions with the players, and talk until his mouth was dry before reaching an agreement.
Why did the style change when it came to Kante?
If you agree so easily like this, it will make me feel very unfulfilled, okay! ?
Raiola was a little unhappy: "No... You don't even ask about the conditions? What if my commission is very expensive?"
"Mr. Raiola, I'm just a player who plays in the amateur league and fails every time I try out for a professional team. I know my value very well." Kante said in a flat tone, as if he was not talking about his own experience, "I'm so happy that you can come to me in person, why should I negotiate with you?"
"But seeing your expression, I'm not happy either..." Raiola muttered.
The two people's chat process made Allen, who was sitting next to them, laugh.
After Kante finished speaking.
Allen spoke: "N'Golo, to be honest, I think you really need to negotiate with this fat man."
Hearing the voice.
Kante turned his head and looked at Allen in confusion.
Before Allen spoke.
Kante didn't take the manager of Leeds United seriously. He thought that when the two came to see him, Raiola should be the main player. As for the manager of Leeds United, he probably just had a good relationship with Raiola. He happened to be free and came out to play, so he accompanied Raiola on this trip.
After all, Raiola had taken down many players who played for Leeds United, which was known to everyone in Europe.
But what Allen said just now changed Kante's mind.
He just looked honest, not stupid.
On the contrary.
Kante is very smart.
Ranieri said in an interview with reporters that Kante has an unparalleled ability to read the court. Players like him must have a high IQ.
Looking at Allen, who seemed to be smiling.
Kante suddenly had an idea in his mind, but the young man quickly denied this idea in his mind.
It doesn't make sense!
I am just an amateur player. Even if Raiola likes me, he can't recommend me to Leeds United, which has already reached the semi-finals of the Champions League!
From doubt to relief, there is no great joy or great sorrow.
Allen saw the facial expressions of the young man in front of him.
I couldn't help but give Kante a higher evaluation in my heart.
Very smart.
He can associate so many things with just one sentence, and he didn't feel particularly disappointed after self-denial.
"N'Golo, were you thinking about the purpose of my coming here today?" In order to confirm, Allen said what he was thinking.
Kante didn't hide it and nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Allen, what you said just now gave me an illusion, but since it was an illusion, I didn't think much about it."
It's true!
Allen nodded with satisfaction, stood up and put his hand on Kante's shoulder and pinched it lightly.
"N'Golo, what if I say this is not an illusion? I will be frank with you. I came here under the order of Mr. Li Shiguang, the owner and head coach of Leeds United."
"Mr. Li Shiguang's original words were, Alan, I don't care what method you use or how much money you spend, you must bring the boy named N'Golo Kante back to me, back to the Leeds United first team!"
····
The conversation was in the afternoon.
The person arrived in the evening.
After confirming with Alan that Leeds United really wanted to introduce him, Kante ran back to the court and said goodbye to his teammates without any hesitation, went home to pack a few clothes, and then followed Alan and Raiola to Charles de Gaulle Airport.
In less than two hours.
The three landed at Leeds Bradford Airport and drove to Thorp Arch.
After talking with Kante in the afternoon, Alan immediately reported the situation to Li Shiguang.
So Li Shiguang deliberately asked Simeone and Rivaldo to stay at the Thorp Arch training base to work overtime today.Even if Kante doesn't show up, the day after tomorrow will be the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Leeds United and Chelsea. Although they underestimate their opponents psychologically, they still need to be strict when it comes to tactical arrangements.
It was about eight o'clock.
The three of them were sitting on the sofa discussing tactics when the door of the office was knocked.
Li Shiguang called out to come in.
One second later.
Allen and Raiola pushed the door open and walked in, and behind them, with a serious face and eyes looking straight ahead, was N'Golo Kante.
Seeing that the person had been brought in.
Li Shiguang was happy and stood up and walked towards the door immediately.
Behind him, Simeone nudged Rivaldo with his elbow: "Hey, Ferreira, this kid is exactly the same as the boss's description, and he is not so thin. How can he survive in the Premier League, which is full of tough guys?"
"Our players are not the violent people of West Ham United." Rivaldo rolled his eyes at Simeone, "We are technical players, how can we not survive with physical weaknesses!? And physical fitness can be adjusted through training and diet. Look at Wang Chu, Kevin, and Marco. Who was not thin and weak when they first joined the team?"
"That's the truth." Simeone was a little dissatisfied, "But they all play as attacking midfielders or forwards, and this kid plays as a defensive midfielder. He has no body. How can he grab the ball in a fight? He will be squeezed open, and his waist can't be hard, so it's useless to do anything!"
When the two people behind were discussing Kante, Li Shiguang had already walked up to Allen and others.
Raiola and Allen were both smart people. Seeing that Li Shiguang actually took the initiative to come over, they quickly made way and exposed Kante behind them.
Li Shiguang did not exchange polite words with them. He patted their shoulders and said thank you for your hard work, then extended his hand to the enthusiastic Kante: "Welcome to Thorp Arch, N'Golo!"
Li Shiguang's enthusiastic attitude dispelled most of Kante's nervousness.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The future world No. 1 defensive midfielder also quickly raised his arm, tightly grasped Li Shiguang's hand, grinned, showing his iconic big front teeth with a gap in the middle, and responded.
"Thank you, Mr. Li... Boss!"
