Full-level pass, please call me the speaker of the Three Lions

Chapter 344 Balotelli's penalty? !

Just as rumors were flying around and people were speculating whether Ling Feng would stay in Leicester City or transfer away, the person involved had already boarded a special plane with the Three Lions and embarked on the European Cup journey in France.

On June 6, all members of the Three Lions arrived safely at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris on a special plane.

After arriving at the airport, the first thing the Three Lions did was to take a group photo standing on the boarding stairs, with all the soldiers uniformly wearing dark blue suits from the local brand Marks & Spencer.

The first row is head coach Hodgson, captain Rooney and assistant coach Livington.

The C position in the second row is Ling Feng.

On both sides of him are Rashford and Alli, two local superstars who emerged this season.

After leaving a memorable moment, the Three Lions players boarded the team bus specially prepared by the Paris City Government and headed for the Auberge du Baumy five-star hotel in Chantilly, 25 miles north of Paris.

When they arrived at the hotel, they first socialized with the mayor of Paris and other politicians, and then they were able to disperse, get the hotel key cards and return to their respective rooms.

Since Luke Shaw was not selected for the European Cup squad, Lingard became Ling Feng's roommate in this European Cup.

After arriving at the hotel room, Ling Feng threw the Armani backpack on the bed and went straight into the bathroom.

Lingard jumped onto the bed, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

Although he didn't understand French, he quickly found an English channel that he could understand.

The TV was broadcasting football news.

The protagonist of the news happens to be Ling Feng, who has been rumored to be having an affair with Paris Saint-Germain!
It is said that Paris chairman Nasser admires Ling Feng very much and plans to pay the buyout clause to bring Ling Feng from Leicester to the Parc des Princes in Paris and give him Ibrahimovic's No. 10 jersey.

Looking at the photo of Ling Feng and the Paris team logo on TV, as well as the host's serious tone, Lingard's eyes turned and he couldn't help but ask Ling Feng in the bathroom:
"Hey mate, are you ready to leave Leicester?"

However, faced with this question, Ling Feng in the bathroom did not make any response.

Lingard continued to speak to himself: "Mate, if you are going to leave, do you want to come to Manchester United?"

Just as he finished speaking, a ring suddenly rang from the backpack on the bed.

The next second, Ling Feng, who had just washed his face, pushed the door open and walked out!

He ignored Lingard and walked straight to the bed, then took out his mobile phone from his backpack.

"Jesse, I'm going to go out and take a call."

"OK!"

Watching Ling Feng walk out of the hotel room, Lingard finally realized:

"Hey, he didn't tell me to shut up this time? That's weird."

Walking out of the hotel room, Ling Feng walked towards the elevator while answering the phone.

"Hey, Jorge."

The caller was his agent, Mendes!

"How's it going?"

"Rudkin offered you a weekly salary of $190,000, and 70 percent of the image rights belong to you."

A weekly salary of 190,000 pounds is definitely the highest salary in Leicester City, and can even be ranked in the top ten salaries in the Premier League.

However, for this new generation player who won the league's best player at the age of 20 and was hailed as "the future world's best midfielder", this number is not high.

You should know that there are only three players who have created more than 60 goals (goals and assists) in all competitions in the top five leagues this season.

They are Suarez of Barcelona, ​​who made 53 appearances, scored an astonishing 59 goals and provided 22 assists!
Barcelona's Messi made 49 appearances, scored 41 goals and provided 23 assists!
And Leicester City's Ling Feng, who made 44 appearances, scored 28 goals and provided 33 assists!

Of course, compared with the two Barcelona superstars, Ling Feng has fewer appearances, but his statistics are not less at all.

Everyone can see that the young Ling Feng has already shown his potential and has even become a strong contender for this year's Golden Globe Award!
Some even believe that as the Premier League champion, Europa League champion and the absolute core of the Three Lions, if Ling Feng can lead England to successfully win the upcoming European Cup in France, he may even be able to compete with Melo for the Ballon d'Or this year!

Of course, as a small club operating on a shoestring, Leicester City's offer of a contract renewal of £190,000 a week is already a sign of great sincerity.

You know, a salary increase is not like other ordinary jobs where it simply goes up.

The salary structure of a football club often affects the entire club!

If Ling Feng is given a raise, then should players like Vardy, Mahrez, Kante and others who also made great contributions to the team's championship also get a raise?

After all, they are now the Premier League champions and Europa League champions, so their weekly salary must match.

Ling Feng's weekly salary increased by tens of thousands, and the salaries of main players such as Vardy, Mahrez, Kante, Morgan, etc. also increased by tens of thousands. The team's weekly salary suddenly increased by hundreds of thousands.

The annual player salary expenditure suddenly soared by 100 or 200 million pounds!
This is definitely a huge expense for Leicester City.

But, this is necessary!

Because, with winning the first Premier League and European Championship in the team's history, Leicester City's championship players have become hot commodities in the transfer market.

The major wealthy families are like hungry wolves, staring at the Blue Fox, just waiting to divide and dismember it!
In order to retain the main players in the team, Leicester City must increase the players' salaries.

Even so, the treatment conditions they offer cannot be better than those of the top teams.

Although at the press conference after winning the championship, Ranieri emphasized that his disciples would stay.

However, everyone knows that this summer is extremely critical for Leicester City.

Even through the broadcasting revenue and tournament bonuses of the Premier League and Europa League, Leicester City will be able to earn nearly 1.5 million pounds this season!

But staff turnover is inevitable.

The transfer rumors surrounding core players such as Ling Feng, Vardy, Mahrez, Kante, etc. have never stopped since April.

The club has also been working hard to negotiate contract extensions in an attempt to retain the current championship team.

However, no one in the club knew that their star player had already made up his mind to leave.
"What about Manchester United?"

"They have sent a first round of offers to the club. However, Leicester City has rejected Manchester United's first round offer of 70 million pounds. According to my sources, they are also inquiring about Juventus Pogba's transfer intentions."

Hearing this, Ling Feng just raised his eyebrows, but was not surprised at all.

After all, according to original history, Manchester United brought Pogba, a former youth training genius, back to Old Trafford with a record transfer fee.

Without waiting for Ling Feng to speak, Mendes continued:
"Don't worry, this is just a common negotiation tactic used by the club. This is to send you a message that they don't need you."

"What's your opinion?"

"We just need to leave them alone! Ferguson and Jose both want you, and those Americans who only care about stock prices will never ignore your huge commercial value."

"Well, how's the progress over at N'Golo?"

"Manchester United has indeed been in contact with Kante's agency team, although the bastards behind your friend are very greedy. But the progress is pretty good. If everything goes well, a personal agreement should be reached before the end of the European Cup." "That's good."

As Hodgson has repeatedly stressed, he does not want the players to discuss transfers during the European Cup, which would affect the team's atmosphere and form.

If the Three Lions stars want to transfer in the summer, they must complete the transfer before the first European Cup game or after the European Cup.

There are still four days left until the first match of the European Cup.

Four days is obviously not enough to complete a major transfer that shocked the football world.

So, after a brief discussion, Ling Feng and Mendes decided to slowly negotiate with Manchester United and other top teams.

There's no rush anyway.

Although in the transfer process in football, the operation of the buying club contacting the player privately without going through the selling club is expressly prohibited in the football circle.

However, in this world where anything can be done, it is all too common to approach players privately in order to get the players you want.

In the ever-improving and developing contemporary football world, contacting players privately has become a practice used by everyone.

Many times, even before the two clubs officially negotiate, the buying club has already contacted the player in advance and reached a preliminary personal agreement.

After all, if you are not sure whether the players are willing to come, then no matter how much you talk to the club, it will just be a waste of time.

Of course, this is also due to the help and promotion of a profession, which has made the club's illegal operations of contacting players privately become more and more "open and aboveboard"

That's the agent!

After all, not being able to contact the players themselves does not mean that you cannot contact the players' agents.
. . .

After several days of secret preparation at the Bourgogne Stadium in Chantilly, the Three Lions boarded the team bus to Marseille.

At the Stade Velodrome in Marseille, they are about to face their first round opponent in this European Cup group stage - Russia!

It is worth mentioning that the day before the game, a conflict broke out between local thugs in Marseille and English fans.

Factors outside the game also added some excitement to the match.

Soon, amid the cheers and encouragement of the fans outside the stadium, the Three Lions team bus slowly drove into the Velodrome Stadium.
It is worth mentioning that the car is also sprayed with "same team, same dream"

The dream of millions of English people is, of course, to "bring football home!", which is always on the lips of the English people in every national competition.

In this European Cup, the "Three Lions" England is the top seeded team and is placed in Group B.

The opponents in the same group are Wales, Slovakia and Russia.

Since the three opponents in the same group are not traditional European powerhouses, there is still a gap in strength compared to England.

Therefore, after the group draw results were announced, most people believed that England would have no problem qualifying as the group leader.

Some British media have even begun to select opponents for England in the knockout rounds!
However, the coaching team headed by Hodgson does not dare to be blindly optimistic.

Because these three teams are not pushovers!

Among the three teams, Wales has a golden generation led by Real Madrid star "The Great Saint" Bale, as well as players such as Ramsey, Joe Allen, and Ashley Williams who play in the top five leagues.

Although the overall lineup strength is not outstanding.

But with superstar Bale, Ramsey in his prime, and a group of powerful players, they are definitely England's biggest rival in the group.

Russia and Slovakia are both teams with distinctive characteristics.

Most of the former's players play in the Russian Premier League, with excellent overall coordination and skilled footwork.

The latter is known for his tough style of play and outstanding tactical qualities.

The similarity between the two is that the players have excellent mental attributes and their psychology and state will not be easily affected too much by the team.

When facing such an opponent, we must completely kill the suspense of the game, otherwise, the opponent will never give up easily until the last ball of the game!

So, although the situation for qualifying seems optimistic, it is actually full of crises.

However, in Ling Feng's opinion, Russia and Slovakia are all trash!

Since Ling Feng emerged, the Three Lions have finally been given creativity and are no longer the "European X Country Team".

Whether beating up Europe's underdogs or fighting against traditional powerhouses, England can basically get the ball out of the opponent's goal.

England also set a small record of scoring in more than 20 consecutive games.

In this group, only Wales may cause some trouble for their qualification.

The other two teams are not worth mentioning.

In order to lead the Three Lions to go further in this European Cup and shine on the big stage of the European Cup, Ling Feng also made final preparations before the first European Cup match:

He first put all his eight free attribute points into the [Reaction] attribute!
The [Reaction] attribute suddenly increased from 82 to 90!

The [Reaction] attribute determines how quickly he reacts on the court.

The higher the attribute, the faster his reaction speed will be, and he will be one step ahead of others on both offense and defense!
In addition to adding points, Ling Feng also took advantage of the opportunity to open the [Top Star Card (Attributes)] awarded by the [Europa League Champion].
However, it gave Ling Feng a big surprise.

Or rather, it was a shock!

Along with a dazzling golden light emitting from the card, a black player wearing a sky blue jersey and a Mohawk hairstyle appeared in Ling Feng's field of vision. He lifted up his jersey to reveal the words "Why is it always me" written on the lining.

【Ding dong! 】

[Congratulations, you have drawn the top star "Thinking about Life" Balotelli! ]

Looking at Balotelli in front of him, Ling Feng's mouth twitched:
Bashen?!
In an instant, countless famous scenes of Ba Shen flashed through Ling Feng's mind.

However, after thinking about it, he instantly perked up.

After all, as the epitome of world-class below the neck, Balotelli is top-notch in both physical fitness and shooting skills.

It would be nice if we could unleash Bashen's power or finishing attributes.

As long as the [Spiritual] attributes are not revealed, he can accept it.

However, things did not go as he wished:
[An attribute is being randomly selected for you.]

【Ding dong! 】

[Congratulations, you have obtained the penalty kick attribute of this top star! ]

".Grass!!!"
