"go"?
"Not going"?
"go"?
"Not going"?
Li Qiao thought about it all night, but he had no idea. He called his father, but Li Shan said that no matter where Li Qiao chose to go, he would unconditionally support him. Also, it was impossible for someone else to make this decision for Li Qiao.
Li Qiao wanted to call Diana, but after thinking about it carefully, Diana probably supported her unconditionally just like her parents, but she couldn't give any professional advice.
Finally, Li Qiao picked up the phone and prepared to call Diana. At this time, even if Diana couldn't give her advice, it would be nice to hear her voice.
Just when Li Qiao was about to dial the number, the phone rang first, "Could it be that Diana and I have a heart-to-heart connection, and knew that I missed her, so she called me first", Li Qiao thought to himself.
But after looking at the caller ID, it was a very strange number. Such a number was either from abroad, or it was a fraudulent call.
"Hello", Li Qiao said.
But Li Qiao was taken aback by the deep voice on the other end of the phone. He was familiar with that voice, and it was Mr. Lobarov's voice.
"How are you doing, Joe",
"I'm fine," Li Qiao replied hastily.
"If you have time to come to Ukraine in summer, you know, Ukraine is the most comfortable in summer," Lobarov said.
"If I'm free, I'll definitely go back," Li Qiao said.
Li Qiao knew that Lobarov must have something to do when he called him. If it was just to greet him, he would pass Diana instead of calling himself.
"Mr. Lobarov, what can you do?"
"Joe, do you want to go back to Dynamo Kiev"?
Li Qiao didn't know how to answer for a while. First: Dynamo Kiev is a strong team in Europe and can participate in the Champions League team. However, Dynamo Kiev gave Li Qiao the impression that there is bitterness and sweetness, and it can even be said that bitterness is more than sweet.
But being able to participate in the Champions League is actually the most important thing. It is the highest competition at the club level. If you are on the stage of the Champions League, then everything is possible.
"I want to go back," Li Qiao finally replied.
"That's good",
"But I said it," Li Qiao remembered what he said before leaving Kiev a year ago.
Lobarov interrupted Li Qiao and said: "I remember what you said, that is not a problem now".
Li Qiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses, but then he still didn't understand, so he asked blankly, "Why?"
Lobarov on the phone said excitedly: "I have applied for 1800 million euros in funding, Joe, come back."
"What"?Li Qiao was a little frightened, he didn't know whether to be happy or thankful, in short, he was a little at a loss.
"What's wrong, happy to be silly"?Lobarov asked with a smile.
Li Qiao is a bit stupid, but also a little scared. If he agrees to other teams, it will be a tragedy now.
"You can buy a Chinese player for 1800 million euros, Mr. Lobarov, how did you convince the club"?
"Hehe, Joe, sometimes when you have the right, you don't need to persuade others, but just make a decision and inform them. This is the consensus reached by me, the head coach of Dynamo Kiev, and the chairman of the club. After a week, the board of directors will be notified to go through the motions, and then it can be officially announced to the media."
"But before that, you have to keep it a secret, even Diana can't tell it."
"Well, I see, Mr. Lobarov, are you in good health, last time I heard that you are not in good health",
"There is a little problem, but I have seen a doctor, as long as I don't get too tired, it will be fine."
"Every summer, the team manager is the busiest, arranging transfers, warm-up matches and so on, Mr. Lobarov, you have to pay special attention to your body",
It was rare for Li Qiao to remember that Lobarov felt warm in his heart, and the two said good night to each other before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Li Qiao knew that although this news could not be told to anyone, there was one person who must be told, and that was Stan.

The next day, Li Qiao asked Stan to go to the teahouse. After listening to Li Qiao's words, Stan was playing with the lid of the bowl of tea in his hand, and did not speak immediately.
"Coach, your opinion"?Li Qiao asked.
Only then did Stan react and said: "Well, I know, I will reject the offer from Mainz."
"No, just to give some advice," Li Qiao thought to himself.
"Coach, I want to give you some personal opinion",
Stan put down his teacup and smiled, "Is my opinion of any use? Your future father-in-law wants you to go back, so why don't you go back?"
Stan's words made Li Qiao very embarrassed, his face turned red and white, "Hehe, I'm just a girlfriend now."
Stan pretended to be nervous and said, "Don't let Diana know this."
"Hehe, let me give you some professional advice from the coach. When did you become so gossip?" Li Qiao said.
"Want to hear professional"?
Li Qiao nodded.
"Then you have to promise me one condition."
Li Qiao thought to himself, "Stan has everything, he is high and powerful, what else do I need to do for him?"
"What do you think",
Stan said with a smirk: "You have to promise me that your and Diana's children will recognize me as godfather" (many children in Europe will recognize their closest relative as godfather after they are baptized, for example, Ronaldo is the godfather of his brother's son).
Li Qiao chuckled and said, "Okay, I can recognize you as a godfather."
Stan felt that the joke was almost done, so he said: "From a professional point of view, of course, it is a good choice to go back to Dynamo Kiev. There is a saying in China-it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, and Germany is better. But if I choose, it is better to go to the top giants in the second-tier European countries. After all, they have the qualifications for the Champions League or the UEFA Cup."
Stan's thinking is similar to Li Qiao's. In fact, players are just like actors, exposure is very important, especially in today's highly commercialized world.
"In addition, your father-in-law is really kind to you, 1800 million euros, which can be said to be the most valuable in Asia,"
"If you don't take inflation into account," Stein added.
"Don't always be father-in-law, father-in-law, it makes me look like I'm going through the back door," Li Qiao said.
Stan laughed, "Joe, this time I have to say you went through the back door".
Of course Li Qiao wanted to refute, but Stan made a stop gesture to signal Li Qiao to let him finish his sentence first, "Joe, I don't deny that your level is very high, but you haven't got any honors yet, such as participating in the World Cup, such as the best rookie in Asia or something."
What Stan said was right, but Li Qiao didn't want to admit it, because he didn't like people saying that he had gone through the back door.
"When Kaka first landed in Europe, although he was already very famous, he was only worth 1000 million euros. Later, Kaka's superstar's worth was also made up of the Champions League trophy. Joe, in the football world, you are worth only if you have honor. And Lobarov is willing to believe in you when you have no honor, which makes me very moved."
"What are you feeling?"Li Qiao asked.
"Why didn't I meet such a good father-in-law back then?"Stan smirked.
"Stan, you're such a bad guy right now",
"Okay, no kidding, let's get down to business, I have something to tell you",
Li Qiao had already guessed one point. The team was going downhill and people's hearts were not stable for a day or two. Stan's departure was probably inevitable.
"I will officially resign as the head coach of Guangzhou Tianbao next week",
Li Qiao nodded, very calm after hearing the news.
"Why, you knew in advance"?Stan asked.
"No, I guessed it," Li Qiao said.
"Then you will not give up on me?"
"Of course, how brilliant we were last year, the lineup was neat, and everyone worked together to win the AFC Champions League."
"I originally wanted to focus on two tasks, but now it seems that there is really no other way. Fortunately, the new coach the club has found is very good, Lippi."
This has been rumored since last year, and it's not really news.
"You were finally replaced by Lippi," Li Qiao said.
"Haha, it's getting bigger and bigger."
Li Qiao didn't speak, and after a while, he said: "Everything has changed, Brahimi is gone, you are gone, and I am going too."
What Li Qiao said was a little sad, and Stan said: "At least we have been brilliant, and we are worthy of this city."
"Yes, I am worthy of the Guangzhou Tianbao jersey, and I am also worthy of Guangzhou City," Li Qiao said.
*****
A week later, Stan officially held a press conference and resigned as the head coach of the club. Stan said that he resigned on his own initiative, so there was no breakup fee. He said that the work of the national team was heavier than he imagined.
In addition, Stan announced several transfers of the club at the same time. The transfer of Brahimi and Gabriel was confirmed, but the transfer fee was kept secret. Although Stan knew that the upcoming transfer of Li Qiao would be a big news, but because the club has not yet received a formal offer, Stan can't say anything.
The atmosphere of the press conference was a bit sad, and Stan's tone was choked up at the end. It was difficult for everyone in the city to say goodbye to Stan.
"I wish Guangzhou Tianbao's new head coach can lead the team to win the AFC Champions League, and then pass away to the Club Cup," Stan said at last and left the press conference quickly.
*****
For a week, Li Qiao rejected all the team's invitations and waited wholeheartedly for the official offer from Dynamo Kiev. However, after waiting and waiting, there was still no news. Li Qiao knew that Lobarov was a man who kept his promises. It should be that the transfer process was too complicated and it was difficult to do it well. The other 1800 million euros was indeed a huge sum.
But in the early morning of a certain day, Li Qiao was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the mobile phone. After picking up the phone, he only heard Stan's hurried voice on the other end of the phone, "Joe, it's not good, hurry up and read the news."
