Together with Federer, he went to the cafe agreed with the Crystal Palace and made a phone call to confirm the other party's location. Li Yi and the two of them pushed open the door of the private room that the other party dictated on the phone.
"Hello, I'm Lee, and this is my agent Federer." Pushing the door open, he saw two old men already seated inside. One of them, Li Yi, if he didn't admit his mistake, should have been sitting in the Crystal Palace during yesterday's game.
The old man on the coaching bench, Li Yi, immediately briefly introduced himself and Federer.
"Hello, I am Dodge Friedman, the head coach of Crystal Palace." At this point, Dodge pointed to the other old man aside and introduced, "The person next to me is Ian Horford, the manager of our Crystal Palace. It's a pleasure to meet you.
.”
The opponent's coach and manager, the two most important people in terms of transfers, were both present, which gave Li Yi enough face.
In a good mood, he and Federer sat down together. First, they chatted nonsense with each other, and then, after the coffee ordered by Li Yi and Federer was served by the waiter, the two sides directly entered the topic.
"Lee, I believe your agent has also told you that our team has been pursuing you relentlessly since your four-game performance as a senior. I guess we have already done enough in terms of sincerity, right?"
Hearing what the other party said, Li Yi was about to speak, but then he thought of Federer's presence, turned his head, and made eye contact with the other party. Finally, on Li Yi's side, Federer spoke and replied, "Yes, in terms of sincerity, what you have shown is
Very enough.”
"I wonder if Lee is interested in joining Crystal Palace?"
After arriving at the scene today, Federer changed his normal attitude and no longer maintained his usual cold attitude. When the other party asked this question, he immediately jokingly asked, "If you are not interested, I believe that my client and I will not waste time sitting here."
.”
"Haha!" The negotiation went so smoothly, Friedman smiled slightly, and then said, "Then please allow me to take the liberty of asking, can I think that Lee is satisfied with joining Crystal Palace? We can talk about him."
Are there any issues with personal treatment and transfer fees?"
Communicating with Li Yi again with his eyes, and receiving Li Yi's hint, Federer also smiled and replied, "I think so."
"Okay." Taking out a piece of information from his pocket, Friedman continued with a smile, "According to our information, Lee, your salary at QPR is just over 2,000 per week. Even if you include appearance fees and so on, you
The income is only tens of thousands of pounds a year? Is there not much discrepancy in this information? "
"No!" Federer still answered.
"Then if we complete the transfer and Crystal Palace provides you with a weekly salary of 4,000 pounds, what do you think?"
"no problem."
As if he felt that this transaction was going too smoothly, Friedman was stunned for a moment when he received a positive reply from Li Yi, and then said, "That's fine. Just wait until the transfer window opens on January 1st."
, we can work together on the same team."
Smiling slightly, after entering the room, Li Yi, who had remained silent except for self-introduction, said, "I think so, coach."
"Well, by the way, I still have a personal question to ask you, Lee. I wonder if you can clear up my doubts?"
With a gentle spread of his right hand, Li Yi replied very politely, "Excuse me."
"What I want to ask is, for what reason did you have a bad relationship with the club, which made you willing to give up on yourself and not give your best on the field? It has already involved the quality of a professional player. Come to think of it, qpr has gone too far.
Have I offended you so hard?"
"Uh!" He was really afraid of what he was going to get. Li Yi, who had already begun to regret his choice in that game, was heartbroken when he heard that his coach would ask this question in the future.
Again, Li Yi couldn't tell the other party the real reason. It was obvious and impossible not to say something at this time. At the moment, Li Yi could only explain, "Hey, I'm ashamed to say it, but with the coaching staff and teammates.
It’s a matter of communication between us. If you hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t have wanted to mention it.”
Seeing the curious expression on the other party's face, it seemed that Li Yi could go on to explain, "Before, I was racially profiled by my teammates in the team, and the club didn't show any sign of it, so forget it. Come to think of it, my
You also know the strength. But after Ron came back from injury, the club didn't miss the old feelings at all, and directly informed me to prepare to be a substitute.
Later, I was forced hard by the fans, and they decided to let Ron and I play half the game alone. I really couldn't stay in such a club. To be honest, my request was very simple, as long as I could ensure one
The main position is enough, isn’t it too much?”
Friedman nodded thoughtfully, not sure whether he believed Li Yi's explanation or not. Friedman put away his smile and said more seriously, "If it's just for this reason, what you did, Lee, is
I'm a little impulsive. But it doesn't matter. After you come to the Crystal Palace, I dare not say much else, but I can still promise you the main position. As long as you can take every game seriously, then I will
For one day, you will be the main player of the team, and there will be no surprises.
So, Lee, can you guarantee that after coming to Crystal Palace, you will not continue to work without any contribution?"
"This is necessary." The other party was serious, and Li Yi returned with the same seriousness.
"Okay, then I wish us happy cooperation in the future." After receiving Li Yi's affirmative reply, Friedman regained his smile, stood up from his seat, and happily extended his right hand towards Li Yi.
As Li Yi shook hands with Friedman, the two sides reached an agreement on the transfer.
Speaking of which, the reason why this transfer went so smoothly was because Li Yi didn't have many choices on his side.
Earlier, Li Yi's condition for Federer was that he must have a certain level of strength, preferably from a team that can enter the Super League in the near future, and be very interested in him so that he can have a playing position.
Well, there are many teams in the English Championship, but those that meet the above three conditions. After counting, Federer only saw one, and that was Crystal Palace. Since at the beginning of the season, the team's main center was poached by the Premier League team, Crystal Palace.
This season's striker has been criticized by fans.
At this moment, a young, capable, and cheap center suddenly appears in the English Championship. How can Crystal Palace not flock to him?
Moreover, it was precisely for this reason that the Crystal Palace, after seeing Li Yi's continuous "release", still persisted in pursuing Li Yi's idea.
Li Yi is very satisfied with Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace has also made great efforts to introduce Li Yi. After all, not every player transfer is worthy of being invited by the club manager and head coach.
While thinking about it, he also tried his best to invite the two parties in this transfer, just like a Sao girl meeting a pink customer, they hit it off immediately!
In addition, I am not too concerned about the annual salary at present. It doesn’t matter how much the other party gives me. The previous conversation was simple and easy to understand. Is it okay?
