Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 387 The last training day, the Champions League final is here! (Ask for monthly ticket)
"The British football summer transfer window will officially open on June 6 and close on September 13!" - The Guardian

After the exact opening time of the transfer window came out, the undercurrent in world football gradually became obvious.

Leicester City players have begun to attract more attention, and some people, including Kante and Mahrez, have already had definite transfer rumors.

"It is reported that Chelsea has been in contact with Leicester City. They are trying to take Kante away with an offer of 80 million. Leicester City is currently satisfied with this price!"

"Chelsea plans to spend 100 million euros to take Kante + Chilwell from Leicester City! At the same time, they are also looking to take away Drinkwater!"

"Buying the championship team directly after losing the championship? Chelsea's incredible transfer operation!"

"Mahrez is almost tied to Manchester City. The player himself has met with Guardiola. It is said that the two chatted about the 'future' for more than 40 minutes!"

"The offer of 100 million euros was rejected! Leicester City wants to sell Mahrez for a higher price! They may want to listen to offers for Mahrez after the Champions League is over!"

"The miraculous place where the value has doubled again? Leicester City's desire for the Champions League has reached its peak. If they win the championship, it will increase the value of the entire team by at least 100 million euros."

"Many club presidents and head coaches were photographed landing at East Midlands Airport. Chen Yufeng may face more than 10 negotiations in the coming days."

But it may be that these clubs are too fanatical in their pursuit of players, and some unscrupulous media have fabricated false rumors.

"I hope everyone will always remember the days when they stayed here and just have feelings for this club."

At this time, there is no need to put more pressure on them.

The wave of departures has already struck ahead of schedule.

"Don't feel embarrassed, you don't owe this club anything, and the club doesn't owe you anything. We met at a special node, and after two glorious years, we parted ways."

With a faint smile, Ranieri put his hands on his hips and said: "Thank you very much for making the training days longer this season, so that our parting day becomes even later."

I just don’t know if the players can still maintain their true intentions and play the most important game of the year well.

"In addition, I have read all the transfer news. In the end, I, Mr. Vichai, and the entire team discussed and responded to the offers received by the club."

Reducing stress is the first priority at this time.

On June 6st, there are three days left before the finals.

"The day after tomorrow, the whole team will set off for the competition venue. We will warm up on the field. It does not count as training."

It’s not unusual for countless reports to break out in quick succession.

"Don't do high-intensity exercise, don't stay at home all day, treat it like a normal day, and learn to live like a normal day off."

It stands to reason that the decisive battle of the Champions League final is just around the corner. Such a critical node is not the time to leave the team.

"..."

At the Leicester City training base, after the last training day of the season, everyone had a brief meeting.

Ranieri leaned against the table, put his hands in his pants pockets, and kept his expression relaxed. "This is not a taboo topic. To be honest, I have encountered many separation moments."

"This is normal and a rule in football."

"In general, this is it. The training of every season is difficult at the beginning and easy at the end. Every casual day may be the end."

"Have a good rest when you go back tomorrow. If you're close, we can go out for a walk and chat."

Ranieri didn't mention many things related to the game. The heavy pressure of the Champions League itself is like a thorn in the side, and the players must know it.

"As long as the offer is suitable, the club will not prevent anyone from leaving. Of course, if the player does not want to leave, the club will do its best to keep any of you."

At this point, Ranieri really couldn't find anything to talk about. After hesitating for a while, he called the captain Chen Yufeng and asked Chen Yufeng to come and say a few words to everyone.

After Chen Yufeng stood up, he looked around at the familiar faces below, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.

Although Ranieri made the topic clear, it was from Ranieri's own perspective.

He has no entry point to talk about these topics.

For a player who is almost certain to leave, isn't he making himself uncomfortable?

After all, this is a big difference. Who doesn't want to leave quietly and then say goodbye to others through mobile phones.

Or simply wait for the confirmed transfer rumors to come out and hug your teammates goodbye one by one.

When I talked about this topic with Mahrez on the court that day, it was just in private, and it was also a reflection after winning the Triple Crown.

If he really wanted to talk about this in front of everyone, Chen Yufeng couldn't say it.

"Is anyone going to play pool tomorrow? Instead of playing snooker, play nine-ball." Chen Yufeng thought for a long time and finally brought the topic to a relaxed and happy place.

"Let's go." Mahrez was the first to respond.

Morgan Drinkwater and others also expressed their intention to go together.

What Chen Yufeng didn't expect was that more and more people raised their hands. In the end, everyone except Danny Simpson, who had made an appointment with his girlfriend, decided to go.

"Ah?" Chen Yufeng was stunned.

Is this because we all know tacitly that we are about to separate, so we take the initiative to look for opportunities to stay together?
These stars are indeed quite childish sometimes, but people, no matter how mature they are, are probably like this.

…………

It was sunny on March 6.

"Every time I think about the upcoming Champions League final, I can't help but get excited. I even tremble many times and make some strange moves as if to vent. I want to find a sandbag to hit." "Today is the end of the last training day. After resting tomorrow, I will go to the competition venue the day after tomorrow. After traveling so long, my dream is finally coming true."

"What will happen if I win the game? What will happen if I lose the game? My thoughts are racing with no end. Also, I am about to say goodbye to my Blue Fox teammates. I feel empty and can't bear to see them again. Face, hear their voices.”

"I gave a speech in the afternoon. I couldn't say anything for a long time. I didn't dare to mention the Champions League final. So I asked everyone if they were going to play nine-ball. I didn't expect everyone except Simpson to go. I feel sorry for Simpson. It's such an important event. He would not go there at that time, and I still remember when he first came to the team, he gave me a corner kick and asked me to assist.”

"Leaving in a dream, with a super high net worth, overwhelming reports and praise, fans cheering me up, becoming the global spotlight with high spirits, I feel like a star."

"Really leaving, reluctant to let go of this or that, worth seems not so important, a decisive person may also become an indecisive person, I still don't understand myself."

"No, you must be more handsome when you leave. You are not young anymore. You can't be like a guy like Mahrez who will cry when the time comes. Yes, I bet here that Mahrez will definitely cry."

"Okay, let's get some rest and go out for a walk tomorrow."

"..."

April 6th, the sun was shining brightly.

"The weather is really nice today, but I'm uneducated, so I just said shit. I went fishing with Lao Chen this morning, and I don't quite understand why this kind of thing is so popular among everyone."

"On the way, people kept coming over to say hello and ask for photos. I heard that fish are very wary and will run away from them if there is any movement on the shore. Well, the reason why I didn't catch one today is definitely because of these fans. Also, I often think about the Champions League final. I lost my focus, failed to keep track a few times, and made huge mistakes.”

"I had some barbecue for lunch, it was a bit spicy. In the afternoon, I booked a billiards entertainment hall with Mahrez and others, drank tea and played golf at the same time. It was so happy."

"Midway, Simpson seemed to realize something, hurried over and joined the big family. Everyone spent a very pleasant half-day."

“It’s easy to forget some things when there is a lot of laughter and laughter. Watching Mahrez keep hitting the ball, and watching Morgan’s top son of luck keep scoring, I seem to have forgotten the upcoming final, and I have also forgotten that everyone is about to Separation.”

"However, when I go home at night, I still feel a little sad when I think of the laughter and everyone's smiling faces. I know clearly how happy I am when I laugh, and how sad I feel when I leave. Logically speaking, Separation anxiety should be a common thing among college roommates, how can people like us be so pretentious?"

"Sports star, king, international superstar... forget it, don't be narcissistic, cross it out."

"I received more than ten fax letters and countless phone calls in a row that night. I heard that Enrique is here? Simeone and Klopp as well. I don't want to meet people for the time being. I want to finish the Champions League final before thinking about it."

"Forget it, it's better to reject the Premier League club in advance, otherwise it will waste people's time and stay here, which is not good. At 9.30 pm, he rejected Klopp and Conte in strong words, and also said to Enrique I have little interest in joining Barcelona."

"Real Madrid... many things may become easier when I go to Real Madrid. The Bernabeu Stadium has also been my dream since childhood. But for some reason, I always don't want to take this road that most people take. I am not actively looking for big challenges. It’s not that I like to choose Hell difficulty, it’s just that when it comes to transfers, you really have to follow your heart.”

"It seems that Atletico Madrid may be a good choice? Increase Atletico Madrid's priority and play through the finals to see if they can provide satisfactory contract details and permissions. If not, then no. Flip it. Bayern in the Bundesliga and Juventus in the Serie A are also worthy of consideration."

"Wake up? No, I have to have confidence. I can go to all the clubs in the world now."

"..."

June 6rd, cloudy day.

"We set off to the capital of Wales in the morning. The final will be played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. This is a strange place. The weather is not good today, which casts a shadow on my mood and makes me more nervous."

"Last night when I went to bed, I clearly felt out of breath. There were signs of ghosts pressing on the bed. This has never happened before. Chen Yufeng, Chen Yufeng, are you so nervous too?"

"Cardiff is beautiful, and it feels good to live here. I don't know who I will marry in the future or who I will have children with. Let's play football first. I firmly believe that my flowering period is still there. A 32-year-old athlete with extremely self-discipline, There is no difference between an 18.9-year-old boy and someone who is still exercising at the age of 70."

"What kind of strange adjective is this?"

"After the on-field training started, I tried my best to adjust my condition, but I understood that just silently saying "Don't be nervous" is not enough. There must be some positive feedback. So, I called Mahrez for a one-on-one confrontation. I regained a lot of confidence at the cost of Mahrez’s hatred towards me increasing a lot.”

"Ah, tomorrow is the Champions League final. Why does it feel the same as my debut? It's like I have never played football before, never scored a goal, everything is strange."

"Wake up! You are the man who defeated Ronaldo in the European Cup. You are the man who impressed the world's top stars. You have so many star skills and perfect physical fitness. Real Madrid's defense is not yours. opponent."

"Cristiano Ronaldo will not get what he wants. The flag has been set since he said he expected to meet you in the club game. And as we all know, the flag will not succeed."

"I can't comfort myself like this. Real Madrid's 11 people seem to have no flaws. I'd better think about how to beat them. Come on, you can do it."

"I hope that when I open this book again tomorrow, I will be happy, so happy that I will tremble when I hold the pen."

"Chen Yufeng, the four-time champion is waiting for you in front."

…………

On June 6, the eyes of the whole world were focused on one place, the Champions League final.

The rematch between Cristiano Ronaldo and Chen Yufeng is the peak moment of a late bloomer, the final chapter of the immortal team's miracle road, and the key battle for Real Madrid to stabilize its divinity!
Wait for the tags to come together and make this place full of topics!
Even the words "UEFA Champions League final" no longer need any exaggeration, because people know what kind of game this will be!
In the entire European football world, who can be the final winner this year depends on today!

According to incomplete statistics, more than 6 million fans from all over the world have joined the pre-match discussion, and the popularity of the topic has topped the list of social media in various countries.

Due to time differences and other reasons, all fans around the world will definitely not be able to watch the game at the same time, but the peak data of more than 5 million will most likely not be exceeded.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the players from the two teams finished their last meal and began to gather downstairs in their respective hotels.

Starting from the entrance of the hotel, there was an endless stream of fans who came to admire the superstar's style, and continued all the way to the stadium.

Both teams were relatively experienced and had set off long in advance, otherwise they would definitely not have been able to arrive on time due to the traffic jam.

"Pap, tap, tap, tap..." The Welsh mounted police rode tall horses to maintain order in the middle of the road, evacuate the crowd, and at the same time control the conflict between the two teams of fans.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

The war is coming.

There is another chapter to be written after dinner, which is really happening today.
