Chapter 22-Status Comes From Strength!
Li Ao was delighted.
Ferguson directly gave himself a professional contract.
This meant that he valued her very much.
However, Li Ao did not act rashly.
Instead, he took the contract and read it carefully.
He frowned.
He looked up at Ferguson.
Ferguson was a little surprised to see Li Ao's reaction.
A seventeen-year-old youth should be in the prime of his life.
Logically speaking, he was facing his first professional contract.
Moreover, a professional contract from Manchester United should not be so calm!
However…
At this moment, Li Ao was able to remain calm in this situation.
Ferguson could even see Li Ao frown slightly when he saw the number of his weekly salary.
Of course, Li Ao was not satisfied with such a number.
He was a player with a full level of prediction.
Just for this.
The contract that Ferguson took out, which could be said to be the first team's minimum guarantee, was not enough.
Furthermore, the contract would be signed for four years.
It was practically a slave contract.
He did not owe Manchester United anything.
He had only been at Manchester United for a few days.
Ferguson actually wanted to tie himself down with a low-income contract.
This plan was a little shrewd.
"Mr. Ferguson, I don't think this contract is enough to reflect my value!”
Li Ao looked up at Ferguson and said.
Ferguson was even more surprised.
Who was he?
He was the most experienced and successful manager in the Premier League.
Many famous players were a little embarrassed in front of him.
Not to mention a seventeen-year-old young man?
And now?
Li Ao's expression was calm.
Neither servile nor overbearing.
It was as if the person in front of him was not Manchester United's godfather, Ferguson, but an ordinary person.
Not to mention anything else, just this calmness.
It made Ferguson look at Li Ao in a new light.
Ferguson smiled.
"Young man, any youth team player who comes to the First Team will sign a contract like this. When you perform well, the club can help you adjust the contract at any time.”
Ferguson explained.
The corners of Li Ao's mouth curled up slightly when he heard that."In that case, I won't sign it for the time being, Mr. Ferguson. If I'm not wrong, you've already watched my games in the youth team. The youth team's matches no longer put any pressure on me.”
"I need more intense matches.”
"And in such a competition, I will show my ability and ask you to give me a contract that is worthy of my strength!”
"For example, in the match against Ajax.”
Li Ao raised his head and said in a somewhat eager tone.
Ferguson's expression turned serious.
"Are you asking me to fight?"
"Of course!"
"Do you know the difficulty of this match? We lost 1 - 2 at home. It's not easy to go to an away game. Moreover, I don't intend to be the main force in this game!”
Ferguson said.
"How much do you think you can do in this situation?”
"You can try!"
Li Ao's eyes lit up.
He looked fearlessly at Ferguson with a scrutinizing gaze.
A few seconds later.
Ferguson smiled.
"Good boy! Whether you can get a chance in the Europa League depends on your training performance!”
At this point.
Ferguson's expression turned serious.
"I will indeed send substitutes to play in this game, but even so, if you want to get a chance, you need to prove yourself in training. I will only give the opportunity to those players who perform well in training!”
Ferguson stood up.
He patted Li Ao's shoulder.
"Want to get a chance to play?"
He grinned.
"Then conquer me during training!!”
With that, Ferguson headed for the door of the locker room.
Before he closed the door, she turned around and said,"I want to see you in the First Team's locker room at nine o'clock tomorrow morning!”
Li Ao was overjoyed.
"Yes, sir! Sir!"
..
The youth academy's training base was not far from the First Team's training base.
Strictly speaking, they were even in the same place.
The next morning, Li Ao arrived at the Carriington training base.
However, he came a little early.
The other players had not arrived yet.
The first to arrive was the team's captain, Vidic.
Vidic had obviously received instructions from Ferguson.
He first brought Li Ao into the changing room.
In the corner.
Li Ao saw his jersey and cabinet.
His jersey number was 39.
A typical youth player's main account.
Captain Vidic was a serious person.
He looked at Li Ao and said," Congratulations, young man. But I have to remind you that even if you come to the First Team for training, it doesn't mean anything. If you want to get a chance to play, you have to prove your strength!”
Li Ao nodded slightly.
Not long after.
The First Team players arrived one after another.
Everyone was chatting and laughing in twos and threes.
They were a little surprised to see Li Ao, but the star players of the First Team did not say anything.
It was common for players from the academy to come to the First Team for training.
This was considered a reward for the young players.
However, most of the time.
These youth team players would usually return to the youth team to participate in the youth team's games after training for a day or two.
Everyone only nodded slightly at Li Ao. This was considered polite.
Some of the players did not even look at Li Ao.
Manchester United's first team star.
The main players were all millionaires with weekly salaries of tens of thousands of pounds or even hundreds of thousands of pounds.
He was not on the same level as Li Ao, a young player who had a youth team contract.
The difference in status between the two sides was like heaven and earth.
Li Ao did not mind.
He did not try to get close to those star players.
He was very clear.
Status.
He had to fight for it himself.
It wasn't earned by bowing and flattering.
