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

Chapter 369: The Butterfly Effect! It’s all Benzema’s fault!

Perez?
This surname, coupled with the other party's somewhat old voice, Ling Feng immediately reacted.

"Oh, Mr. Perez! Buenas noches!"

The Perez on the other end of the phone was none other than Florentino Perez, the chairman of Real Madrid Club, also known as "Karl Lagerfeld"!

Although Mendes had previously learned that the old man had asked about his willingness to transfer.

However, this is the first time that Karl Lagerfeld has called personally!

"It seems Jorge (Mendez) wasn't kidding, your Spanish is really good!"

After speaking in English, Florentino on the other end of the phone spoke in Spanish:
"It's a pity that you were eliminated. Your performance was eye-catching."

"Real Madrid welcomes all the good players from around the world, so."

"Ling, are you willing to play for Real Madrid?"

Ling Feng was not surprised by the purpose of Mr. Lafayette's visit.

However, he still heard a hint of well-disguised arrogance in the old man's tone.

Perhaps in Florentino's eyes, Real Madrid is the best team in the world.

The same is true.

Therefore, as the chairman of the club, personally inviting Ling Feng to join is already giving enough face.

However, in Ling Feng's opinion, such an invitation still lacks sincerity.

Although Ling Feng has great respect for Florentino's management ability and vision, he also has a good impression of Real Madrid, the super giant.

However, he could only give one response to this invitation:
"Thank you very much for your invitation, Mr. Perez. However, I need time to think about it."

Even Florentino, who had seen big scenes and storms, was stunned by this answer.

Of course he could hear that "need time to think about it" meant a tactful refusal!
Good guy!
This kid actually dared to reject me? !

You know, he is Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid Club!
This is also the first time that he has been rejected by a player since he personally called to invite him to join!

If this were known by the outside media, it would definitely cause an earthquake in the football world!
You know, the power of Florentino's words "XXX, are you willing to play for Real Madrid?" is the most important transfer operation in the world of football!

Just based on this one sentence, so many super geniuses and super stars are eager to pack their bags immediately, rush to Madrid, and put on the pure white knight robe!
These include Zidane, Figo, Beckham, and C Ronaldo.
However, this trick doesn't work in front of Ling Feng.

First of all, he is not a dreamer.

Although Real Madrid is jokingly called by fans as the final destination of all professional players.

However, he did not have much feeling for the best club of the century.

Secondly, it is not a good time to join Real Madrid, which is full of stars.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who just won the Champions League and reached the European Cup final, has an unshakable position in Real Madrid.

As for myself, who was eliminated by Ronaldo himself, even if I join Real Madrid, I will only become Ronaldo's assistant.

Whether it is the right to fire on the field, or the tactical position and resources, he certainly won't have them as a newcomer.

Even behind Benzema and Bale!
This is unacceptable for Ling Feng, who is aiming for the Ballon d'Or and is the team leader!
Besides, how much would joining a team that has won the Champions League twice in the past three years improve his historical status?
After all, before he came, Real Madrid was the champion of La Liga and the Champions League!

Therefore, if he wants to truly surpass the two heroes in the future, he must defeat them head-on, rather than waiting until they are old and their competitive state declines before climbing to the top.

The Red Devils Manchester United, which is in a slump, is his next stop!
Instead of joining Real Madrid, which is about to win the Champions League for the third time in a row, he would just sit back and win the title with a smile on his face.

It would be much more interesting to lead Manchester United to a revival, then defeat Real Madrid head-on in the Champions League and win the Champions League trophy from the king of the Champions League!
Therefore, Ling Feng declined Florentino's invitation.

After being rejected, Mr. Lafayette did not continue to persuade, but said, "Okay, you take your time to think about it," and hung up the phone.

Real Madrid never cares about the feelings of any player.

Even Ling Feng is the youngest best player in the history of the Premier League and the most outstanding talent in the UK in the past twenty years.

No, no!
What Ling Feng didn't expect was that just after Florentino hung up the phone, Paris chairman Nasser got Ling Feng's private number from somewhere and also called!
Like Florentino, as the spokesperson of the Qatari consortium and a good friend of the King of Qatar, Nasser thought that if he personally took action, he would definitely be able to win Ling Feng.

However, he was wrong.

Even though he was sincere and offered tempting promises such as an annual salary of 13 million euros after tax, which was comparable to Ibrahimovic's when he joined the team, the team's top player status, and the Paris No. 10 jersey, Ling Feng only replied that "it takes time to consider".

Nasser, feeling offended, stiffly replied, "Then you think about it carefully," and hung up the phone.

Looking at the phone, Ling Feng couldn't help but smile:
"really interesting."

First Mourinho, then Florentino Perez, Nasser
It seems that his performance in this European Cup has attracted the attention of the leaders of major clubs, who even personally invited him to join the team!
I have to say that Ling Feng's performance in this European Cup is phenomenal!

Five appearances, four Man of the Match awards, five goals and seven assists!
With an average score of 7.8 per game, he is not only number one in the player ratings list, but also dominates the European Cup scorer and assist lists!

Moreover, he is the favorite to win the European Cup's Best Newcomer, Best Player and Golden Boot awards.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ling Feng is definitely the best and most stable player in this European Cup in France!
none of them!

Of course, the team's performance of being eliminated in the semi-finals may make him lose face in the competition for the best player.
However, the best rookie award basically belongs to him.

The only suspense left is the Golden Boot and the best player.

In the competition for the Golden Boot, Ling Feng, who scored five goals, was slightly ahead of French core Griezmann, who scored four goals.

If Griezmann scores a goal in the other semi-final tomorrow, he will be able to tie his goal tally.

And if he scores twice, he will surpass Ling Feng!
So far, Ling Feng has completed six achievements, namely [European Cup debut], [European Cup first goal], [European Cup first assist], [European Cup best player of the game], [European Cup pass and shot], and [European Cup assist and double goal], and was rewarded with a total of eight free attribute points.

If he can achieve the achievements of [Best Newcomer of the European Cup], [Golden Boot of the European Cup], [Best Player of the European Cup] and [Best Team of the European Cup], he will definitely receive even richer rewards.

In this way, he will definitely become stronger next season!
Thinking of this, Ling Feng couldn't wait to start the new season.
. . .

The next day.

As expected, most of the British media blamed Rooney, the captain who missed the penalty, for the team's elimination! Who made him the captain?
The team captain is often the first choice for each team to take the blame when they lose.

Of course, except for the French team with Benzema.

In this European Cup, as the team captain and spiritual leader, Rooney played five times and contributed three goals.

As for the overall performance, it can only be said to be average.

Among them, The Times, which focuses on in-depth summaries, conducted a comprehensive analysis of the Three Lions' performance in this European Cup.

They pointed out in the article that Rooney's missed penalty was not the biggest culprit for the team's elimination.

On the contrary, his performance in regular game time and overtime was one of the main reasons for the Three Lions' elimination!

The British captain seemed like an outsider in the team's offensive system throughout the entire cup tournament.

As the team's main right winger, he not only failed to provide the Three Lions with the speed and explosiveness required on the wing, but also slowed down the speed and rhythm of the frontcourt attack in many cases.

In the group stage and the first knockout match, since the opponents were not strong, Rooney was able to use the team's overall superior strength to win.
However, in the match against the "European Red Devils" Belgium, Rooney's presence became the weakest link in the team's offense.

If Hodgson hadn't made a position change and let Ling Feng, the most creative player in the frontcourt, come to the right and force the situation open.

Perhaps, the inexperienced Three Lions had already fallen under Belgium's fierce offensive.
In the crucial match against Portugal, Rooney's confusion in the frontcourt and his errant shots largely deprived Ling Feng of the ball and the right to shoot.

In addition to analyzing the team and individual performance, the article also bluntly pointed out Hodgson's conservative substitutions.

If Sterling was not substituted in the second half of the game, Sturridge would be substituted.

Instead, Rooney was replaced by Lingard.

Then the division of labor among the four front players will be clearer!

Sterling and Ling Feng are responsible for dribbling the ball and creating opportunities;
Lingard is responsible for running in the space and responding to Ling Feng, and Vardy is responsible for grabbing points and finishing!
After carefully reading the analysis article in The Times, Ling Feng couldn't help but sigh:
"Uncle Bird, you are worthy of it!"

Because the views expressed in the selected articles written by more than a dozen football experts from The Times are almost exactly the same as the views that Mourinho reviewed with him last night!
The professional analysis of each person and each newspaper tells everyone one fact:
If Rooney was replaced by Lingard in the second half, England would have a great chance of defeating Portugal in regular match time!

And thus made it to the finals!
Unfortunately, hindsight is just hindsight and cannot change the fact that the team was eliminated.

As Portugal eliminated England in a penalty shootout and advanced to the final first, the other semi-final also came to an end later.

Thanks to Griezmann's shot in front of the goal, the host team beat the World Cup champion Germany team 1-0 and advanced to the final!
This result surprised Ling Feng a little.

Because, in his memory, Griezmann scored twice in this semi-final.

Now, he has only scored one goal, tying Ling Feng's goal number.

Could it be that because of his presence, England qualified as the first in the group, causing Wales to move to the lower half?

Then Wales, led by Bale, caused a lot of trouble to France, thus depleting the team's physical strength.

In the end, in this semi-final, Griezmann only scored one goal.

The Butterfly Effect!

Ling Feng has long been accustomed to such changes.

He could only pray in his heart, hoping that the final would be like the script he had seen, and Griezmann would never score!

. . .

7 month 10 number.

The final of this European Cup was held at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, Paris!
France VS Portugal!
Ling Feng watched the European Cup final with his teammates in the hotel.

Ling Feng, who has read the script, of course hopes that the game will proceed as per the script.

However, what he never expected was that Ronaldo, who was inspired by him to use the exclusive BUFF of "King of Adversity" in the previous game, broke out again in this game!

Not only was he not injured and sent off by Payet, the only true Portuguese god also took advantage of a quick counterattack opportunity when being suppressed by France throughout the game. He took the ball on the right, cut inside, passed two people, and shot into the far corner with his left foot!
With his own strength, he directly blasted open the goal guarded by French goalkeeper Lori!
This scene made the England internationals around him jump up from their seats and exclaim in amazement.

It also made Ling Feng stunned.

what's the situation?
Luo Ge is excited?!

At this time, Vardy, who was sitting next to him, turned around and said with a sigh:

"Ling, it would be great if your left foot was like Ronaldo's!"

Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and couldn't help but recall the advice Mourinho gave him.

Yes!

If he had Ronaldo's opposite foot ability, with his physical fitness and burst of speed, he would be able to replicate Ronaldo's god-level operation of "breaking through on the right, cutting inside, and shooting with the opposite foot to score"!

In that case, maybe it won't be Portugal that enters the final, but England.
So, it's all Benzema's fault!

In 2015, Benzema, the main striker of the French team, was removed from the national team for allegedly blackmailing his teammates.

In this European Cup, due to Benzema's absence, the French team had no choice but to advance all the way around Giroud and Griezmann and reach the final.

However, in the final, Giroud was closely watched by Portugal's experienced defense and failed to perform as a key center forward.

If Benzema starts, with his mobility, he will definitely pose a great threat to the Portuguese defense!
Of course, this is just one of countless assumptions.

If Benzema had participated in this European Cup, France might not have been able to reach the final.

Because he and Griezmann play some overlapping roles in the French team.

If he were on the field, Griezmann, the core of the team, might not be able to perform so well.
In the end, it was thanks to Ronaldo's only goal that Portugal defeated France within 90 minutes of regular time and successfully won the European Cup!
This is also the first European Cup championship in Portugal's history!
Seeing Luo Ge crying with joy while holding the championship trophy on TV, Ling Feng was immediately filled with respect.

This man who ran all the way from the small island of Madeira and finally reached the top of the European continent is like a lighthouse on the great route, guiding every child with a dream to move forward courageously!

Although he lost in his first head-on confrontation with Ronaldo,
However, Ling Feng still learned a valuable lesson from the highest mountain in football:
That means never giving up!
