In fact, signing Ribery is not too difficult for Sporting Gijon.
Sporting Gijon is a team in the Spanish second division football league and will participate in the UEFA European Cup next season.
And where is Ribery now? He is currently playing for the French third division team Brest. More importantly, Ribery's contract with Brest expires in half a year. This Spanish third division team
The team does not seem to recognize Ribery's strength and has no plans to renew his contract.
Therefore, for Li Ang, the only obstacle to signing a contract with Ribery is to make Ribery believe in his identity. Speaking of which, this is also related to Li Ang's identity as a Chinese and being so young. It is difficult to imagine a three-year-old
A Chinese who is less than ten years old is actually the head coach of a Spanish second division club.
What Li Ang didn't expect was that it was Ribery's wife Wasiba who solved this big trouble. To be precise, it was Wasiba who served a large plate of mutton pie.
Maybe it was because the plate was a little hot, so Wasiba brought it over with a newspaper on it.
When Ribery's wife was serving the guests to enjoy the mutton pie, Ribery directly picked up the newspaper placed under the plate.
It was a "L'Equipe" report from a few days ago, and it was a report about the Spanish King's Cup. There were several photos, one was of Zidane being sent off with a red card, and the other was of a man with an oriental face shaking his fist in celebration.
screen.
That was the scene of Leon celebrating when Sporting Gijon won the Copa del Rey.
The report made it clear in black and white. Under the leadership of their Chinese head coach Li Ang, the Spanish second division football team Sporting Gijon defeated Real Madrid 4-3 at the Bernabeu, causing a big upset and winning the Spanish Cup.
championship trophy.
Of course, L'Equipe's report mainly focused on topics related to Zidane's red card, but it still reported on Li Ang and Sporting Gijon's victory in the Copa del Rey.
***********
"Is this...is this you?" Ribery asked stammering.
"Of course." Leon smiled. He did not hide his surprise and joy. Now, with this newspaper, Ribery's suspicion should be gone, and the biggest obstacle will no longer exist.
Ribery's wife Wasiba also came over to look at the newspaper that was already stained with grease. She looked at the photos in the newspaper, looked at Leon again, and exclaimed.
Wasiba had just served the food and knew that a guest was coming, but she had no idea what Li Ang was here for.
"Frank, they-" Wasiba asked.
"This gentleman is the head coach of this football club, and he invited me to play football in Spain." Ribery said to his wife very fast, with excitement in his eyes. He had already confirmed Li Ang's identity.
Naturally, he was overjoyed, "They just defeated Real Madrid and won the Spanish Cup! Such a team, they invited me. Their head coach came to invite me personally..."
Ribery was very excited, spoke quickly, and his eyes were a little red.
"I know, I know, you are the best, my dear." Wasiba looked at her husband with love in her eyes.
Neither Leon nor Banderas said anything. They looked at this scene. The couple's life was obviously very miserable, but they loved each other and supported each other.
Li Ang was completely relieved at this time, Ribery would definitely agree to go to Sporting Gijon.
For Ribery now, the invitation from a Spanish second-division league team is irresistible, not to mention that Sporting Gijon still has qualifications for the European competition next season. As for leaving home and leaving France to play in Spain, this
For Ribery, who was extremely depressed and impoverished at this time, it was not a problem at all.
As expected, Ribery then gave a positive answer.
***********
"Mr. Frank, are you willing..." Leon asked.
"I do!" Ribery said immediately.
Okay, now we can exchange rings, uh, talk about personal treatment and sign a contract.
Li Ang is fully prepared for this trip. He must ensure that he signs Ribery. He will not rest assured if he does not see Ribery sign his personal contract. He keeps in mind the principle of long nights and long dreams.
Therefore, Li Ang came with a formal signing contract.
Key areas such as name, date, salary and benefits are blank and can be written by hand.
Moreover, considering that Ribery is French and does not understand Spanish, Leon also prepared a contract in French.
Ribery read the contract carefully and communicated quietly with his wife beside him. The couple did not shy away from Leon and Banderas at all.
Li Ang first talked about salary and benefits because he knew that Ribery's first concern was salary and benefits.
Liang gave Ribery a lower-than-average treatment compared to the current treatment in Sporting Gijon.
On the one hand, this is because Sporting Gijon's finances are indeed not very good. They cannot give Ribery too high a salary at this time. After all, Ribery is just an unknown player in the Spanish third division.
In addition, Li Ang is well aware of Ribery's future achievements. He is convinced that Ribery will shine quickly at Sporting Gijon. The initial salary is not high, which also leaves some room for future salary increases.
Li Ang was also worried that Ribery would have objections to his salary. After all, he had just seen this guy's attitude towards money.
However, Ribery did not object to the salary. Although the salary given by Li Ang was not high, it was much higher than the salary he currently received at Brest Club. Ribery had no objection to the salary.
Quite satisfied.
Moreover, Ribery is a smart man. He knows that at this time, he basically has no qualifications to make any unreasonable demands on salary. If he wants to earn more, wait until he is famous.
What's more, as the head coach of a Spanish second division team, Li Ang actually came to Brest in person, went to the construction site where he worked, and made a special trip to sign him. This made Ribery...
Somewhat touching.
For this down-and-out 21-year-old young man, Li Ang's sincerity is extremely precious!
***********
If there is no problem with salary and benefits, then there will be no problem with anything else.
Later, Li Ang wrote the salary, contract period, etc. in the blank space.
This is a four-year contract.
Made in triplicate, and then pushed them all in front of Ribery.
Ribery glanced at his wife, who looked at her husband with encouragement and love.
Then, Ribery took out his pen and signed his name on the three-point contract: Frank Ribery.
Because the contract between Ribery and Brest expires in one month, in this case, Ribery has the right to contact and sign a contract with any club. Liang wants to sign Ribery at all.
There is no need to have any contact with Brest, the team Ribery currently plays for, so now, Ribery has signed a personal contract with Sporting Gijon, which means that in one month, Frank Ribery will
He is a player from Sporting Gijon.
Seeing Ribery signing, Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief and was so happy that he almost wanted to raise his arms.
"Welcome, Frank, I welcome you on behalf of Sporting Gijon." Leon stood up, smiled, and extended his right hand to the Frenchman named Frank Ribery.
"Sir, I won't let you down." Ribery seemed a little excited and held Leon's hand with both hands.
Looking at Ribery who was so excited, Li Ang felt more happy in his chest than if he drank cold sour plum juice in the dog days of summer...
