Chapter 207
The weather was very hot, but the weather was very hot.
That day, Li Lei drove his newly bought sports car to the familiar Seagrave training base.
Facing this place that he still remembered, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
I still remember the scene when he and Vardy came here for a trial. Time flies, fate plays tricks on people, and now they have become the twin stars of the team.
"Hey, Reggie, open the door!" Li Lei waved to the security guard at the door.
"Wow, our big star is back!" Security guard Reggie responded with a happy face when he saw Li Lei.
Li Lei smiled and drove into the training base. Looking around, every plant and tree here made him feel very familiar.
Li Lei had already bought a new house in Leicester City and settled down before reporting.
As soon as he entered the training base, the captain Wes Morgan was already waiting inside.
"Hey, captain, we meet again!" Li Lei greeted Morgan happily.
"Yeah, you kicked us badly last season, and you didn't know how to show mercy." Morgan said teasingly.
"Captain, you know me. As a professional player, even the king can't do anything on the field. Since you can't beat me, why not join us." Li Lei responded with a smile.
"Haha, that's true. But I warn you, don't show mercy during training!" Morgan said.
"That's a must. I will train you well and let everyone improve together." Li Lei said firmly.
Under Morgan's leadership, Li Lei soon met the new head coach Ranieri.
Facing the old man with white hair, Li Lei took the initiative to say: "Sir, it's nice to meet you!"
"Li Lei, I'm also very happy to meet you. You performed very well last season. I believe you will have an extraordinary season in Leicester City." Ranieri said with a smile.
"Thank you very much for your affirmation. I will try my best to show my strength and repay the support of the team and fans with the best condition." Li Lei said sincerely.
"Very good, you will be our top star this season, and both inside and outside the team will have high hopes for you. As long as you keep a good attitude, I believe you will shine." Ranieri encouraged.
"I will definitely live up to your and the team's expectations. Let us work together to create more glory for Leicester City!" Li Lei said firmly.
After saying some polite words, Ranieri handed Li Lei a contract and officially pushed the contract in front of Li Lei.
Li Lei carefully checked the terms. According to the scheduled plan, Mendes should have accompanied him, but he is now more concerned about J Luo, so Li Lei had to come alone.
The contract is relatively simple, with two years plus one year of relaxed terms. The weekly salary is above the defender line, reaching a considerable 100,000 euros, and also includes generous terms such as goal bonuses.
The most important thing is that the penalty for breach of contract is as high as 100 million euros to ensure that Li Lei will not leave the team easily.
After reading the contract, Li Lei signed his name with satisfaction.
In order to get this favorable contract, Li Lei took the initiative to choose a certain degree of salary reduction.
In contrast, James Rodriguez (J Luo), who just joined Real Madrid, has an annual salary of 7 million euros, which can be converted to 140,000 euros per week.
After reading the contract, Li Lei signed his name with satisfaction.
Ranieri also smiled and shook hands with Li Lei to indicate that an agreement had been reached, and said at the same time: "The club will arrange a signing meeting at the Royal Power Stadium later. I think there should be no problem!"
"Of course, it's my honor." Li Lei happily agreed.
A few days later, in order to welcome Li Lei's arrival, Leicester City held a signing ceremony for him at the King Power Stadium. At this time, the stadium, which can accommodate more than 70,000 fans, was packed.
When Li Lei walked slowly out of the player tunnel, the home fans gave him a warm welcome, and applause and cheers resounded throughout the stadium.
Li Lei excitedly waved to the fans around him, and everyone's enthusiasm made him feel unprecedented satisfaction.
On the stage of the King Power Stadium, he officially announced: "I will play for Leicester City without regrets and lead everyone to create new glory!"
"Come on City!"
Li Lei raised his right fist and assured the fans.
Fans holding jerseys followed him to shout the team slogan, and the warm and joyful atmosphere on the scene burst out.
When he walked to the signing table in the center of the stadium and signed his name on the template for display, the fans' singing of "You'll Never Walk Alone" reached a climax.
After signing
, Li Lei held up his new blue and white jersey with his number 10 printed on it as a gift to the fans.
This move pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
Li Lei's No. 10 jersey instantly became the center of attention of the audience. This number symbolizes his never-ending bond with Leicester City.
After 1 year of experience, he finally returned to his homeland and embarked on a new journey with 100,000 fans.
This is not only the fans' enthusiasm for the star, but also a family's welcome to their lost child.
The British media that night focused on reporting Li Lei's return.
"Sky Sports": The Oriental Pearl is back home! This is a bonus day for Leicester City. Ranieri signed back veteran Li Lei for 50 million euros, which undoubtedly injected huge support into the morale of the Blues.
"Daily Mirror": The sleeping lion awakens! After years of silence, the joining of a world-class star like Li Lei marks that Leicester City's rise is unstoppable. They will roar again.
Daily Mail: It is hard to describe the significance of Li Lei's return. This is not just joining Leicester City, but a return to his hometown. Nothing can stop him from leading Leicester City back to the top.
The Sun: The return of the king! Li Lei put on the No. 10 jersey and returned to the King Power Stadium, like a shining hero. He will give this old club a new lease of life and rebuild its glory!
