Chapter 189
At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Shiguang had just finished chatting with Alves, who had completed the physical examination, and then he met the two German guys mentioned by Allen in the club, Mats Hummels and Marco Reus.
Li Shiguang looked at the two young men standing behind Ron and couldn't help laughing in his heart. After all, he had directly poached two captains of Dortmund.
Hummels, who just turned 18, looks to have grown to a height of 1.9 meters. Unlike Kompany, as a central defender, he does not look very burly. If nothing unexpected happens, he has been following the technical route of Cannavaro since the youth training period. Hummels was not afraid of the stage. Even when he saw Li Shiguang looking at him, he did not avoid Li Shiguang's gaze, but looked at Li Shiguang.
Reus, who was next to him with a blond hair, was more shy. From the moment he saw Li Shiguang, he lowered his head and looked at his toes, not knowing what he was thinking.
It was a coincidence that Li Shiguang had never thought of Hummels and Reus.
But at the beginning of the season, Leeds United encountered a wave of injuries, and the team's performance was greatly affected by this reason. Li Shiguang immediately regretted loaning out Dzeko and Vardy. During that time, he had no one to use and sat in the office to look through the scout reports brought back by Ron whenever he had free time.
Later, as the players recovered from their injuries, the situation of Leeds United gradually improved, but Li Shiguang still attached great importance to strengthening the depth of the lineup in the winter window.
It was not until the end of November last year that Li Shiguang finally saw these two familiar faces in the scout report, so Li Shiguang immediately asked Ron to rush to Germany and make sure to bring the two back to Leeds during the winter transfer period.
At this time, Hummels was still in Bayern's youth training team and had not yet gotten a chance to join the first team, which made him very distressed at the age of 18.
Ron's appearance actually solved Hummels' urgent need, and when he heard that it was Leeds United's first team that wanted him, even though his father, who was a coach at Bayern Munich's youth training team, strongly opposed it, Hummels agreed.
After getting the player's consent, Li Shiguang personally called Beckenbauer. Due to the good cooperation foundation of Lahm's transfer to Leeds United, the two quickly agreed on the price, and Li Shiguang got his wish and took away the future world-class central defender for 900,000 euros.
As for Reus, it took up some of Ron's energy.
The 17-year-old Reus is luckier than Hummels. He has already played in the first team, but in the regional league in Germany.
Reus, who came from Dortmund's youth training, joined the German second division club Red and White Allen at the age of 15, but he was still young and did not get a chance to play. As a result, Red and White Allen was unfortunately relegated from the German second division to the regional league last year, which gave him some opportunities to play.
At first, Ron didn't have to talk much when he approached Red and White Allen. Red and White Allen, which lost its main sponsor due to relegation, quickly succumbed to the 1.5 million euros of money offensive and wanted to send Reus to England immediately.
But unlike Hummels, no matter what Ron said, Reus himself was always unwilling to leave Germany. His dream was to return to Dortmund and end his career there!
Ron really had no choice, and later called Li Shiguang in front of Reus' parents at his home.
After getting Li Shiguang's promise that if Dortmund made an offer to Leeds United, he would unconditionally let him go back to Germany, the young Reus nodded with difficulty.
"Welcome to Leeds United, two future football superstars!" Li Shiguang's face was full of smiles, and he took the lead in greeting the two boys.
Hummels reacted quickly and responded to Li Shiguang immediately: "Thank you, Mr. Li."
But after hearing Li Shiguang's voice, Reus just raised his head and looked at Li Shiguang, opened his mouth, but still didn't make a sound.
Li Shiguang could see that he was a little nervous.
"Hahaha, don't be like this, Marco, I don't eat people." Li Shiguang made a little joke, walked in front of Reus, lowered his head and looked at him, "Besides, we have already talked on the phone once, so we can be considered acquaintances."
Seeing Li Shiguang joking with him, Reus's face visibly turned a little red, and then he nodded a little bit, "Okay...Okay, Mr. Li, I am also...very happy to meet you."
"Okay." Li Shiguang gave the two of them an encouraging look, "You go for a physical examination first, and Allen will sign a contract with you after that.Same. Remember to attend training on time tomorrow morning, maybe you will play in a few days! "
"Really? Then let's go! Mr. Ron!"
Hearing that Li Shiguang wanted him to play, Hummels immediately became excited and turned to walk out the door. Although Reus didn't say anything, the sudden light in his eyes also let Li Shiguang know that he was also tempted.
"By the way, don't call me Mr. Li when we meet tomorrow, call me 'Boss'."
Hearing this, Reus, who was about to turn around and walk out, looked directly at Li Shiguang for the first time today, nodded vigorously, and said word by word: "No problem, Boss! ”

The focus of English football the next day was destined to belong to Li Shiguang and Leeds United.
Because at 9 o'clock this morning, just when these media had just started work, Leeds United's official website and official Twitter were updated simultaneously, and there were four messages in one update.
[Welcome Daniel Alves da Silva to join Leeds United for 20 million euros!]
[Welcome Mats Hummels to join Leeds United for 900,000 euros!]
[Welcome Marco Reus to join Leeds United for 1.5 million euros!]
[Welcome Wesley Sneijder to return to Leeds United on loan!]
As soon as these four pieces of news came out, the English media went crazy, after all, they hadn't heard any movement before.
Hummels and Royce in the middle Most media don't know who Ish is. But Alves is still somewhat famous. He was the best player in the UEFA Cup last season. Liverpool offered Serbia a price last summer, but the 6 million euro offer was directly rejected by Sevilla.
Now let's look at Leeds United, who offered 20 million euros!
Leeds United is really getting better! Now they dare to buy a full-back for 20 million euros!
In addition to Alves, Leeds United also brought Sneijder back from Real Madrid. Although it was only on loan, it was estimated that it cost several million euros.
Except for the Yorkshire Post, which had already received the news in advance, other major newspapers in England, if nothing unexpected happens, will probably have to publish extra issues today...
