Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 708 Let’s get straight to the point

Exactly 20 years ago, David Beckham was still playing for Manchester United.

At that time, this promising young handsome man suddenly appeared and attracted countless attention. His every move could create countless waves. Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was worried that his disciple might be distracted, and repeatedly told Beckham to focus on the game.

Later, when David Beckham and Victoria Adams met, Sir Alex Ferguson immediately sounded the alarm, worrying that the noise outside the field might become an obstacle to Beckham's continued progress, and quietly planted a seed of unrest in the locker room.

From the subsequent development of the story, Sir Ferguson's concerns were gradually confirmed; but at the beginning of the incident, the lovebirds David Beckham and Victoria Adams did nothing wrong.

However, the reality is this -

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

Things seem extremely simple, but they hide a complex core. Even if nothing happens, suspicion and worry begin to grow.

Now, Levi finally deeply understood the true meaning of this sentence.

He didn't do anything, but the troubles still came to him.

Levi glanced at the coaching staff. Reed was still as steady as a rock. There was no sign of any clues at all, and there was no way to start the investigation.

Burns seemed to be aware of Levi's gaze, and with a beer belly, he smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and used his eyes to reassure Levi -

Coaching staff, no need to worry.

Levi laughed in silence and stopped thinking about it. He calmed his mind a little, gathered his scattered attention, turned to today's recovery training, and joked with Houston who was coming towards him.

Burns smiled and stared at Levi's back, not worried at all.

With Burns in the coaching staff, there is no need to worry about Levi.

In Burns's opinion, Hunter is an ambitious but lacking wisdom, a little impatient and prone to acting too hastily. Maybe he can grasp some clues, but ultimately he cannot see the overall picture and his vision is too shallow.

But Levi was different.

Levi is a truly smart man. It doesn’t mean that he has no ambition or desire, nor is he a saint; it means that he can see the overall situation and the future, and he knows how to choose between watermelons and sesame seeds.

So, when Hunter said that Levi was in close contact with the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars in private and expressed his willingness to restructure his contract in advance in the locker room, Burns didn't believe a word of it.

That's so stupid.

Burns didn't even bother to refute, nor did he rush to defend Levi.

When Reed asked Burns for his opinion, Burns did not defend Levi, but just said with a smile, "This sounds interesting."

Apparently, Reed and Burns thought the same thing.

Not to mention that there is no need to panic because of Hunter's one-sided statement. When it comes to contract negotiations and competition for interests, we still need to see the essence through the phenomenon. If we grasp the key, we will be able to gain the upper hand in the game.

Reid, was not so easily swayed.

Burns wasn't worried at all.

The training went on as planned and ended without anything special happening.

Vic, who had been quietly observing at the side of the court, found an opening and came to Levi quietly. Jones, who was standing nearby, knew when to leave. Vic showed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Levi thought that Vic would extend an invitation, and the two sides should have a formal conversation no matter where the location was; but as the two men were walking away from the training ground, Vic actually spoke as if he was just chatting.

"Patrick, is he okay? He was a little absent-minded in training today." Veach glanced at Mahomes, but his tone was not particularly worried.

Levi smiled, "He just needs some time."

Vicchi raised his chin slightly to show that he understood, and then he got to the point, "Have you started to consider the contract restructuring and salary?" He got straight to the point.

This was exactly the effect Vic wanted, to kill Levi by surprise.

In such circumstances, the players' sincerity can often be tested.

Levi was stunned. He really didn't expect Vicky to be so direct. Then a smile crept up his mouth and he shook his head. "No, it's not the time yet."

Vic looked up at Levi, "Don't you want to renew a contract?"

Levi met Vic's gaze calmly, "Of course." He admitted straightforwardly, "But not now, because I'm looking forward to a big contract."

Vicky raised his eyebrows slightly——

This was the second time Levi repeated the same thing: Now is not the time.

Vicci understood what he meant, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

He didn't believe Hunter's words, at least not 100%. Putting aside all the dazzling rumors within the league, Levi's agent has not made any move, which is the best proof.

Levi's agent also represents Brady and has extensive experience in negotiating top contracts. He knows how to seize the opportunity and strike the right balance.

Of course, it is conceivable now that he should be prepared to take a big bite out of the Kansas City Chiefs. The negotiations will certainly not be easy, and Vicki has no intention of thanking Levi's agent; but it also means that such a smart person will not hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred, and the game must be cautious and meticulous.

In front of him, Levi's reaction also confirmed Vicki's guess -

Hunter is probably just a fox taking advantage of the power of another.

What Levi seeks is not short-term benefits, and he cannot wait to take a bite when he sees an opportunity or a gap; but what he seeks is the real big thing that shakes the alliance, so Levi remains patient and has been building up momentum for the storm.

Levi's confidence can also be seen from the side. He does not need to rush to seize the opportunity in front of him, because he believes that he can continue to output, not only this year, but also next season, and he can also show top performance.

As long as Levi continues to be strong, it may not be Levi who comes to ask for a contract restructuring. Instead, it may be the Kansas City Chiefs who seize the opportunity to apply first and restructure the contract before Levi's value continues to rise.

When it comes to contract negotiation, advantages and disadvantages are relative, not fixed, but are constantly flowing and changing.

Hunter chose to make an effort now, after all, he is too young and too impatient.

That's why Levi said that now is not the time.

While Vicchi felt relieved, he also became curious, "How big is it?"

How big is this contract?
Levi grinned, "Big."

Just one word, without any adverbs, but it shows ambition.

Vicci understood immediately, raised his chin slightly, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

But Vic didn't say anything more. He chatted with Levi for a few more words, then he turned around and left naturally without attracting much attention.

Everything is so simple and ordinary, just three or five sentences from beginning to end.

Not to mention other people, even Hunter, who had been keeping a close eye on Levi, was completely confused.

That's it?

Hunter thought Vic was going to have a long talk with Levi, but this is what happened?
How is it different from everyday greetings?
what happened?
