On the flight to France, Li Ang, who was taking a nap, opened his eyes.
Next to his seat, a middle-aged man stared at him with wide eyes.
"Are you feeling better? Do you still want to vomit? "Li Ang asked.
The latter laughed, but he was still a little tired.
Well, that sentence was indeed a little ambiguous.
Going to France with Li Ang was Pablo Banderas, Li Ang's former assistant manager in Real Madrid's youth team.
After the game against Tenerife, Li Ang received a call from Banderas before he left for France. He was pleasantly surprised that there was finally news about his old partner.
Banderas agreed to Li Ang's invitation to be his assistant after a few seconds of consideration. After resigning from Real Madrid, Banderas and his wife went on a trip around the world. After returning from a long vacation, he began to miss the days when he worked and the days when he had football. After all, he was far from retirement age. There was always unwillingness in his heart, and he still had dreams to chase.
At this time, Banderas could not refuse Li Ang's invitation. On the one hand, it was because he continued to assist Li Ang. The two had a tacit understanding before, which was very good. On the other hand, the assistant manager of a Segunda División team was a new attempt and challenge for Banderas. Of course, the former reason might be the main reason.
Then, Li Ang came to France with one more person.
Banderas had a serious stomach problem. He was a little uncomfortable on the plane and vomited once. This made Li Ang feel a little guilty. He should have asked Banderas about his physical condition first. However, the latter did not care about this. He was just a little curious. Who was the Frenchman Li Ang said was extraordinary?
*****
Li Ang looked at the white clouds outside the window, thinking about the skills he had acquired two days ago.
Sporting de Gijón had won the Copa del Rey, and Li Ang had also completed a very important side quest in [Tremble, Madrid]. The rewards were huge, and in addition to the experience points that he had accumulated before, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had actually leveled up twice, and the system had directly upgraded to level four.
Then, the system started the usual lottery. In fact, there were three lottery chances. Two of them were for the system upgrade, and one was for completing the King's Cup quest. However, the system suddenly gave out a notification. You can choose to use three lottery chances to exchange for one lottery chance. This way, there was a certain chance of winning the grand prize.
Li Ang thought about it and chose to exchange. He wanted to take a gamble and see if he had the luck to hit the jackpot.
Then, he obtained the skill he now had.
[Charm]!
This was not a Skill Card, but a tool to detect attributes.
The so-called [Charm] referred to the influence that Li Ang had on the people around him, or in short, the opinions of the people around him.
The people around him referred to his working relationships, including his players, members of his coaching staff, and some of his close colleagues.
This [Charm] was divided into five levels, namely, hostility, disregard, kindness, respect, trust, and worship.
It referred to the attitude and opinions of others toward him.
Li Ang checked the attitude of the team's players toward him.
He was surprised to find that almost all the players' attitude toward him was above respect, and most of them trusted him. Among them, the players, Michael Pijra, Juan Carlos, Juan Mata, Javier Blanco, and Jeffrey, had reached the level of worship for him.
This surprised Li Ang and made him very proud. This showed that he had complete control of the team. To be precise, in this team, his words were absolute. Whatever he said, the players would listen and work hard to work according to his arrangements.
This was a good thing. A manager's influence on the players to this extent was something to be proud of. It also made the work twice the result with half the effort.
This [Charm], although only a small tool, Li Ang felt that it was quite useful. He could observe the psychological state of the players in time. Of course, this only referred to the psychological state of the players toward him, the manager. However, it was already a very useful tool.

This was a busy construction site.
Looking at the busy workers wearing safety helmets, Pablo Banderas was dumbfounded.
According to Li Ang, were they not looking for a promising French player? How did they come to a construction site?!
"Li, are we lost? Did we come to the wrong place? "Banderas asked.
"It should be." Li Ang was also a little uncertain. According to the address given to him by Tomírez, this was the right place.
Tomírez only said that the kid was not doing very well now. Besides playing football, he had a main job to earn money to support his family.
Li Ang did not expect that the main job that the independent scout was talking about was actually working at a construction site?!
Li Ang carefully recalled the guy's story in his mind. He did not think that there was a story related to a construction site. However, when the media later introduced the French star player, there was a sentence: Franck Ribéry's life was difficult before he played in the professional league …
Looking at the situation, it was indeed difficult.
Yes, his target was Franck Ribéry, the guy with the scary scar on his face.
Li Ang stopped a passing worker and asked where Franck Ribéry was.
"Ribéry?" The man glanced at Li Ang in surprise. It seemed that it was rare to see an Asian man in a suit here. Then he pointed to a place not far away, "That's the guy who is quarreling with you."
*****
Quarreling?!
It was indeed a quarrel!
To be exact, it was almost to the extent of a fight.
When Li Ang walked over with Banderas, who was at a loss and had a strange expression, he saw the short kid shouting at someone like a rooster with its wings spread out. He had already rolled up his sleeves and was ready to pounce and fight at any time.
At this time, Ribéry had not yet become a future superstar. He was really a little down and out. His work clothes were dirty with cement dust, but the scar on his face was very conspicuous. Coupled with the ferocious expression at this time, he looked even more fierce.
Yes, it was Ribéry. Just looking at that terrifying scar, Li Ang smiled. That ugly scar, in his eyes, was also very amiable.
"…" Ribéry spoke very fast, roaring angrily. He spoke French slang quickly, so Li Ang could only understand a little. As for Banderas, he was completely dumbfounded by this scene. Of course, he did not understand at all. He did not understand French at all.
"Get out of my way." A foreman waved his hand impatiently.
"…%!" Ribéry seemed to be irritated. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush up.
Some people around looked at this scene as if they were watching a good show. Some people even shouted, "Come on, Franck, come on if you dare."
"What are they talking about?" Banderas asked Li Ang, "What happened?"
"Uh, that kid accidentally broke a piece of glass when he was working. They want him to pay compensation and deduct his salary." Li Ang roughly understood and explained.
"Deduct his salary?" Banderas asked almost subconsciously, "How much?"
"Five euros." Li Ang said. It seemed like it.
Banderas's eyes widened. He looked at the ferocious Ribéry and then at Li Ang. His expression seemed to say, "This is the French football genius you were talking about? This is the goal of our trip?"
A construction worker, a guy who was going to roll up his sleeves and hit someone because he broke a piece of glass because of a deduction of five euros?!
Li, are you crazy?!
Li Ang laughed, "Yes, it's him."
Seeing Ribéry so down and out, Li Ang was very happy in his heart.
