Chapter 279
Three days later.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Raiola picked up Li Shiguang and Allen at Malpensa Airport.
Before coming here.
Li Shiguang had communicated with Kaka's agent Gaetalo.
On the phone, Gaetalo told Li Shiguang that Galliani had talked to Kaka, and Kaka himself now knew that he had been sold to Leeds United by AC Milan.
Unlike Adriano.
Although Kaka was shocked and sad after learning the news, he did not refuse immediately, but was willing to talk to Li Shiguang.
In view of Kaka's relative stability.
After thinking it over and over again, Li Shiguang set the time for meeting with Kaka tomorrow.
Today, I will follow Raiola to deal with Adriano first.
····
After finishing lunch in downtown Milan, Li Shiguang and the other two came to Adriano's home.
Not long after Raiola rang the doorbell, the door was pushed open from the inside to the outside, and a drunk with untidy beard and blurred eyes appeared in front of Li Shiguang and the other two.
Adriano, who appeared at the door, just raised his eyelids and glanced at the three people at the door. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked into the room.
Li Shiguang and Raiola looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.
Raiola was helpless.
Li Shiguang was surprised.
In the previous life, I read countless news reports about Adriano, and now I have heard Raiola describe Adriano many times, but none of these are as shocking as seeing it with my own eyes!
Decadent, depressed, frustrated, this is the first impression Adriano gave Li Shiguang.
Li Shiguang simply couldn't imagine that this was what a professional player should look like.
If any Leeds United player was like this during the holidays, he could only pray that Li Shiguang would not know, because once he knew, it meant that the player would definitely be demoted to the reserve team!
Adriano's current mental state has nothing to do with the word "professional player". If you say he is a homeless person wandering on the streets of Milan in the middle of the night, Li Shiguang would believe it!
Shaking his head, Li Shiguang and Allen followed Raiola into the room.
····
As soon as he entered the room, Li Shiguang smelled a strange smell, which was particularly pungent.
Raiola saw that Li Shiguang suddenly frowned, knowing that he smelled the smell in the room, and hurriedly lowered his head and whispered: "It's wine! I haven't seen him sober in the past few days after the league ended."
"So exaggerated?" Li Shiguang widened his eyes and couldn't believe what Raiola said.
"Really! Mr. Li, you also saw his appearance. If I hadn't notified him that you were coming today, I guess no one would come to open the door!" Raiola shook his head helplessly again.
He really couldn't understand why Li Shiguang would spend so much money to buy such a drunkard!
Adriano is very strong, Raiola admits this.
But that was in the past. From the death of his father to the complete failure after he learned that he was sold, Raiola really couldn't see what relationship he had with "strong"!
In Raiola's eyes.
Li Shiguang is the head coach with the most ruthless vision in the world. Every player he bought proved this with his performance on the court.
But for Adriano.
Raiola really has no confidence!
Next, an even more shocking scene appeared in Li Shiguang's eyes.
The three walked through the corridor and entered the living room.
As soon as he stepped into the living room, Li Shiguang saw a coffee table full of empty wine bottles. To be precise, it was not just a coffee table, but even on the sofa, there were several wine bottles placed here and there, some half-drunk, and some completely empty.
Adriano was lying on one of the relatively tidy sofas at this time.
With his eyes downcast, he held a bottle of wine in his hand and put the bottle mouth to his mouth.
····
Alan took two quick steps and opened the bottle on the sofa, making room for Li Shiguang to sit.
Li Shiguang had just put his butt on the soft sofa when a hoarse voice sounded in his ears accompanied by a smell of alcohol.
"I'm quite curious... hiccup... why did you think of buying me?"
He looked sideways at Adriano who actually took the initiative to speak, and found that he still had his eyelids down and did not look at himself. His left hand holding the bottle shook slightly, as if the voice just now did not come from his mouth.
Li Shiguang smiled slightly and was not in a hurry to answer the question.
Before sitting down, he had been thinking about which angle to start a conversation with Adriano.
But now.
Since Adriano took the initiative to speak, and asked himself a question.
That means this person is not drunk to the point of unconsciousness, and he at least knows why he came here today!
"Didico, can I call you that?"
This is the nickname that only Adriano's closest friends can call him. Even Raiola doesn't know it, but Li Shiguang got this information from Moratti.
Sure enough, after hearing Li Shiguang's address to him, Adriano finally opened his eyes and looked at Li Shiguang with eyes without any emotion: "Huh... Massimo is really interesting... He even told you this nickname."
"So you agree?" Li Shiguang continued to ask.
"It doesn't matter." Adriano spread his hands and curled his lips downwards, "You can call me whatever you want. When I went out last night, the old lady next door called me a drunkard! Hehe..."
"Then, Didico... I want to ask you a question." Li Shiguang paused, and when Adriano looked at him, he continued, "Do you still want to play football?"
Adriano was stunned.
He never thought that Li Shiguang would ask such a question.
In his mind, Li Shiguang's arrival today was nothing more than talking about money and arguing with him about wages. He was willing to open the door and let them in, which was already a great favor.
If he liked Li Shiguang, he would chat with him and then reject his invitation.
If he didn't like Li Shiguang, then the next sentence might be to send him away directly.
Staying in Milan, although Adriano was also very upset and was gradually stepping into the abyss of depression, at least he was surrounded by familiar teammates and Moratti, who had always regarded him as a father after his biological father passed away.
But some time ago, when he learned that he was sold to the Premier League and Leeds United by Moratti.
At that moment, his faith collapsed instantly.
The sky that had always supported Adriano's inner world.
Collapsed!
