After that, Li Ang and Scotteri left. The latter had too many questions to ask him.
"Li, have you really decided to renew McGuire's contract for another year?"
"Of course." Li Ang nodded. "Renew his contract for another year. Well, if McGuire's condition is still okay by then, we can consider renewing his contract for another year."
Li Ang did not ask for any priority renewal rights or anything. Even if McGuire sprouted and became famous, even if other teams came to poach the veteran, Li Ang firmly believed that McGuire would never leave as long as Sporting de Gijón still wanted him. The veteran's loyalty to the team was unquestionable.
Scotteri showed a very surprised expression. "You really think McGuire is suitable to play as a center forward?"
"Of course." Li Ang smiled. "You have to believe in my judgment."
"I believe in your judgment. It's just that — "Scotteri nodded. The story of Li Ang turning stone into gold with Marcos and Juan Carlos had become a magical story in Sporting de Gijón.
"It's just that McGuire is already so old, isn't it?" Li Ang laughed. "Don't worry. I have a good eye for young people, but I have a better eye for old players."
He was indeed very happy. The emergence of Michael Pihra had solved a big problem for him on the offensive end. Li Ang had always been troubled by the fact that the team did not have a true center forward and had a single offensive method. Michael's emergence made him breathe a sigh of relief. If not for the fact that Michael still needed to continue adjusting his condition, he would have directly let Michael start in some games. He was already imagining the scene of the 35-year-old veteran becoming the king of the penalty area in the Segunda División.
Scotteri shook his head. He really could not understand. Li Ang had only met McGuire for the first time. How could he be sure that McGuire had the ability to play as a center forward? Letting a player who had played as a midfielder all his life play as a center forward, and in the absolute sense of a penalty area center forward.
However, in any case, McGuire Pihra was determined to stay in the team, and he could even renew his contract for another year. That alone made Scotteri very happy.

After Li Ang and Skrtel left, McGour-Piehra was surrounded by the First Team players.
They couldn't wait to know what the coach said to McGuire. Did he really ask McGuire to terminate his contract?
"McGuire, how is it?"
"McGuire, do you want us to talk to the manager?"
Only then did Michael Pihra come back to his senses. Looking at his teammates who were concerned about him, he smiled. "Thank you for your concern, everyone. However, the boss asked me to stay in the team."
"Really? That's great. "
"That's great."
"This Chinese man has finally done something good." The person who said this was obviously one of the 'rebels'.
Some people noticed that McGour-Pihra addressed Li Ang as "Boss." While they were surprised, they could not help but exclaim that the manager was amazing. He had subdued McGour-Pihra just like that. No, to be precise, he was using McGour-Pihra to further win the fans' hearts.
This was completely conceivable. Although McGuire did not represent Sporting de Gijón in a game, this veteran had a great influence on the fans. Many fans were moved by McGuire's story. They liked McGuire very much and were cheering for him, hoping that he could fulfill his dream. It was conceivable that when the fans found out that Li Ang had kept McGuire and was willing to give McGuire a chance, the fans would be very happy. They would also be more supportive of Li Ang and have a better impression of him.
This was what almost everyone thought at this time. They did not know about McGuire's "hidden ability." Naturally, they did not think that the manager had taken a fancy to McGuire's ability. Therefore, they thought that Li Ang was using McGuire to win people's hearts.
They also had to admit that the Chinese manager had played a beautiful hand.
"Compared to the manager, Rashidria is really too far behind," said the team's center back, Isma.
Everyone nodded. Rashidria had offended all the fans. Compared to Li Ang's methods, he was simply too inferior.
McGuire Pihra smiled. He knew what everyone was thinking. He knew that everyone thought that the manager sympathized with him and kept him. At the same time, he also wanted to win people's hearts.
McGuire did not explain anything. Could he tell everyone that the boss said that he could contribute to the team because he valued his ability? He knew that no one would believe him if he said that.
McGuire believed what Li Ang said. He secretly vowed that he would work harder for his dream and for the boss's appreciation. It was not for anything else, but because this was the first manager who really appreciated him, although McGuire himself did not know why the manager said that he had the ability to play as a center forward.
However, he felt sincere and real trust and appreciation from Li Ang.
This appreciation and trust was something that the veteran had never received before.
The players were very happy. Regardless of the manager's considerations for keeping McGuire Pihra, they were all happy for McGuire. They knew that the veteran had worked hard for his dream.
This also made the atmosphere of the team better. Perhaps this was an effect that Li Ang did not expect.
*****
This was a not very spacious room. There was only one bed in the bedroom, a small bedside table, and a table. The small wooden bed was covered with pink bedding, and there was a small cup on the bedside cabinet.
Next to the bedroom was the living room. The living room was not big. There was an old sofa, a coffee table, and a vase with flowers in it. It was very simple and very clean.
Alice sat on the sofa and was editing her manuscript on her laptop. She was drinking water from a small cup that was exactly the same as the one on the bedside table when she received a call from her brother, Carlos.
"Sister." Carlos's voice was hurried and he seemed to be very tired. In fact, this kid ran back to the locker room after training and took out his cell phone to make a call.
After the call was connected, Carlos was a little hesitant at this time.
"What's the matter? Juan. "Alice asked in surprise.
"Sister, a girl came to the training ground today to look for the boss." Carlos gritted his teeth and said it. Then he heard something on the other end of the phone.
It was the cup that had fallen on the floor.
"What's the matter, sister?" Carlos asked worriedly.
The girl was a little flustered. "It's nothing, Juan. The cup fell."
Carlos sighed a little. He knew it. He knew it. It was all the boss's fault. (Li Ang's expression of grievance: Is it my fault?)
"You said you saw a girl looking for him?" Alice asked softly.
"Yes, a very beautiful girl. The two of them hugged." Juan Carlos said bitterly.
She could imagine her brother's expression at this time. Alice was flustered, but she couldn't help but laugh. Her beautiful little face showed a thoughtful expression. "Juan, why are you telling sister this?"
"Sister, I know you like the boss." Carlos directly exposed Alice's pretense of calmness.
Being directly exposed by Carlos, Alice was flustered. She pouted and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Sister."
"Tell me everything in detail." Alice felt her brother's concern. She was happy. At the same time, she was nervous about something. She continued to pretend to be calm and asked. She didn't realize that she had subconsciously closed the computer.
Carlos began to blabber on and on about the scene that happened at the training ground today.
"You mean, a girl went to look for Li. The two of them chatted for a while and hugged."
"Yes! I saw it clearly. "Carlos nodded vigorously.
"Just a hug? Nothing else? "
"What else does he want?" Carlos said loudly.
Alice smiled. She calmed down and analyzed the matter herself. A girl, very beautiful, went to the training ground to meet Li Ang. The two of them seemed to have a good chat and even hugged.
There was nothing too out of the ordinary! En, nothing out of the ordinary! The girl clenched her small fist and said to herself.
This seemed to give her confidence. It was just a hug. It was nothing.
"Okay, I got it. Juan, you just focus on the training and the competition."
"But, sister —"
"Don't worry about adult matters." Alice pretended to be strict and said.
"I knew you would say that." Carlos complained, "Anyway, if the boss is taken away, don't regret it."
"What did I say?" Alice stomped her feet angrily. Then she heard the phone was hung up.
This bastard brother.
Alice spat, but she was a little happy. She always thought that her brother Carlos was very opposed to her relationship with Li Ang. But now, it seemed that Carlos was still on her side. He didn't seem to be so opposed to this matter. This made Alice happy. For her, this might be a small obstacle to her and Li Ang's further development. Now, this small obstacle seemed to not exist. It was an unexpected surprise.
However, she thought of what Carlos said.
The girl began to calm down after the initial panic.
At present, the matter wasn't that bad. It was just a meeting between friends and a hug between friends. En, it must be like that.
However, the appearance of a girl, a very beautiful girl, aroused Alice's vigilance.
Shouldn't she be more proactive? That guy is like a block of wood.
Hmph, a very beautiful girl. Is she more beautiful than me?
Alice stood up and went to the mirror. She twirled in a circle and nodded in satisfaction. She clenched her small fists to encourage herself.
The sudden appearance of a beautiful girl made the girl feel a sense of crisis.
*****
Li Ang didn't know that Carlos had already 'tipped off' Alice. He had already returned home.
Li Ang first went to the bathroom to wash his hands. This' superstitious' guy used soap to wash his hands several times.
That's right, he was preparing to draw the lottery again.
The quest [This is El Molinon] was completed. He was now preparing to receive the reward.
According to the system prompt, not only would there be an experience reward, there should also be a chance to draw the lottery.
Li Ang was now full of expectations. He was in desperate need of a skill that could be used at any time.
PS: First update. Let's talk about a tragic matter. I finally typed over 3,000 words in the morning, but Word suddenly crashed. Most importantly, I didn't save it!
This chapter was re-typed with tears in his eyes.
Losing a manuscript is the saddest thing that an author fears the most. Sigh.
I'm begging for a few monthly votes, and it's about to explode.
The chapters that will be updated today will be released because there are still five more chapters to be updated.
Now that I'm going to the hospital, one of my ears is suddenly blocked. Also, my scapulohumeral periarthritis has been acting up badly these days. It hurts a lot when I'm typing.
When I come back, I start to write furiously.
