Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 394: Start transfer negotiations! Clarify your goal again: No. in history! (Ask for monthly ticket)
On June 6, Chen Yufeng, who officially ushered in the holiday, did not slack off. He also listed a training schedule and carried out personal summer training.

He has completely lived a year-round life.

Tired is indeed tired, and fulfilling can be considered fulfilling. It is difficult for Chen Yufeng to describe his current mood.

But after all, I have some time at my disposal.

The feeling of freedom made Chen Yufeng feel that the air seemed to be much fresher and he was more motivated to train.

Not long after receiving the Devil's Contract the year before last, he joined Leicester City for pre-match preparation training.

Last year, we had important competition tasks for the European Cup, so we started preparations early.

Coupled with the fact that there is no winter break in the Premier League schedule, he has always been very busy.

There was no time to carry out the crazy plan of adding points every 6 o'clock in training and every 6 o'clock in training.

Now, finally there is time.

Chen Yufeng didn't feel any joy in his heart. He only felt a lot of pressure.

At around 7:30 in the morning that day, Chen Yufeng went out to exercise.

There was light in their eyes, and they looked young, around seventeen or eighteen years old.

"I want to take a photo."

So many well-known people showed up with sincerity, which is such a great hospitality.

When leaving, a group of fans who had been waiting at the door immediately pounced on them.

He has to get used to this feeling, because it is destined to stay with him throughout the summer offseason.

"Of course, our whole family doesn't want you to go. I may not know what that means, but I know that we will all be very sad when you go." The little boy lowered his head.

At around 10:30 noon, Chen Yufeng drank coffee in a cafe in the city after finishing training.

It's a pity that I can only join one company in the end.

Lao Chen had already helped him sort out the teams that were expecting him to join, and even listed some head coaches and team presidents who are currently waiting for negotiations in Leicester City.

But this time, instead of adding points directly, after consuming the interest wool once, a large number of points will be added without any damage!

"That's it..." This is a little boy of about six years old, just around Chen Yufeng's hips. He looks very handsome with dazzling blond hair, but his expression is very shy: "Well... do you want to leave our team?"

When they were about to leave, seeing that the little boy was still waiting for his answer, he knelt down and said, "Don't you want me to go?"

At the beginning, he mainly focused on jogging and brisk walking. His body was still in a weak stage, and he would definitely not be able to bear too high-intensity training, so he could only take it slowly.

"Yeah!" The youngest child in the crowd nodded, and then walked to Chen Yufeng's side. He was about to talk a few words several times, but gave up several times.

Thinking that these people did not disturb his coffee break, Chen Yufeng readily accepted their request and stepped forward to take the pen and paper from their hands one by one.

Chen Yufeng was suddenly embarrassed. He didn't know how to answer this question, so he simply pretended that he was busy signing autographs and took the time to touch the child's head.

"Meet everyone with courtesy and respect, chat with them, get to know each other, and you will have some connections in the football world in the future." Chen Yufeng made a decision immediately.

Chen Yufeng was speechless for a long time. In the end, he could only pat him on the back and said: "Come on, try to play for this team when you grow up, hahaha."

The laughter at the end was just to cover up his messy heart.

At noon, after returning home, Chen Yufeng took a shower, had a meal, and then sat in front of the table to study transfer matters.

However, he is not a pleaser, and he is not afraid of rejecting others because of feelings.

The only path he can take now is the path of absolute true core. He does not accept dividing the world with others, and everyone understands that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.

"Did you just buy them?" Chen Yufeng asked with a smile. He found that these papers and pens were all of the same style, as if they were wholesaled from next door after meeting him.

"With these two people standing here, the two clubs will definitely not give me part of what they originally had. They are the absolute core of Zhengmiaohong."

For Chen Yufeng, only Leicester City can be considered his home.

Now that you have made the decision to leave your hometown and work hard outside, you must consider realistic things.

"Zidane, Simeone, including Paris coach Bielsa, and Bayern's Beckenbauer... are all looking forward to meeting."

"Even if you promise dual core, it still can't satisfy my appetite."

"It's not that I'm afraid of competition, it's just that even if I do my best, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lewandowski of the two clubs will definitely take away a lot of opportunities."

He probably rummaged through the list and saw many familiar faces.

Chen Yufeng began to think, "Just joining such a team, the role problem is difficult to solve."

"What's wrong?" Chen Yufeng probably guessed something.

"Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are definitely the strongest teams among them. They have superstars on all lines and have the possibility of competing for the Champions League every year."

"Chen, can you sign your name?"

Before meeting, he needs to evaluate the situation of each team first, so that he has a good idea.

Chen Yufeng left the crowd. A large number of people stared at his back for a long time. Some were curious, some were fond of him, some were shocked, and some had complicated expressions.

Chen Yufeng pays little attention to transfers. He has only received some calls before, rejected the pursuit of several Premier League teams, and raised the priority of some La Liga clubs.

But he was lucky. He didn't believe that such a young child still cared about that.

"I also want."

Sacrifice part of yourself for the team's performance?

So why doesn't he stay at Leicester City?
He is not a player who can't achieve high or low. He needs an absolutely true core position to help him break Messi's annual goal record of 91 goals in the second half of the year!
Yes, this issue has been on Chen Yufeng's mind for a long time.

"Looking at it this way, Atletico Madrid, which we have mentioned as a priority before, is more suitable?"

Chen Yufeng probably made a decision, "The Ligue 1 league where Paris is located has not had the possibility of creating a Ballon d'Or in recent years, even if it brings Neymar there, it will be useless."

"Let's start in Paris in the afternoon and see Simeone last."

After doing all this, Chen Yufeng made tea while making contact.

…………

At around 1:40 p.m., Chen Yufeng met Bielsa at home.

As a famous crazy coach in world football, Bielsa is a head coach with a very distinctive personality.

He and Chen Yufeng raised many possibilities, describing the grand blueprint of the club owner and the situation in which France, a football powerhouse, is fully supporting the development of Paris Saint-Germain.

What he said was really exciting, and Chen Yufeng listened very seriously. He often echoed a few words and seemed to agree with Bielsa's football philosophy.

But when making the final decision, Chen Yufeng said bluntly: "I'm sorry, I don't have much interest in joining the Ligue 1. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will look forward to cooperating with you."

Template rejection...

"Hahaha." Bielsa laughed out loud, shook his head and said: "Actually, I understood it in the middle of the conversation. It's just that compared to talking with you, I just sat there for a while."

"Very good tea. If we meet again by chance, I won't stay any longer. I also want to meet a few Leicester City players."

"I guess Kanter must be among your targets." Chen Yufeng stood up and prepared to see off the guests, smiling.

"Of course, Kante is French." Bielsa pointed at Chen Yufeng, leaned back and smiled, and then left the villa.

Chen Yufeng rested for a while and then contacted Zidane.

The two sat together at six o'clock in the afternoon.

This meeting was much simpler. Zidane is not a very cheerful and talkative person. He said that the questions he asked were relatively dry and he went straight to the topic from the beginning.

"You know, Ronaldo has been with the team for many years, and he has also helped the team win many championship trophies. So...in terms of salary, we can only guarantee the second highest salary in the team."

"But we can make up for it in other aspects. For example, in terms of image rights, Real Madrid can sign a 64-cent image rights agreement with Mr. Chen Yufeng."

"As you know, all the players on our team have a 50-50 image rights agreement. This can already make them a lot of money. Real Madrid is the most successful club in commercial development, starting from the first generation of Galacticos."

"In addition, we will also provide you with all the resources. If Mr. Chen Yufeng's performance surpasses Ronaldo, we will never provide any assistance to Ronaldo in his bid for the Ballon d'Or."

"You two have the same status in the team. Even if it is different in the first year, you will definitely reach the same level in the subsequent years."

"We are the best club on the planet. If you join us, you will definitely get everything. Two or three consecutive Champions League titles are very possible..."

At the end of his words, Chen Yufeng seemed to have seen a scene from The Great Gatsby. Little Plum turned around gracefully while holding the wine glass, raising the glass and smiling.

The temperament of a wealthy and noble family was fully revealed at this moment. His voice was not loud, but he was full of confidence and aristocratic temperament.

It's just that the most exaggerated and confident move Zidane made was just spreading his hands.

"I agree with everything you said and really understand your situation."

Chen Yufeng touched his chin, blinked and said, "I need to think about it for a while. Mr. Zidane can make contact with other players first."

"Don't wait for me. I will definitely call you when there are results."

Another template rejection.

Zidane heard what Chen Yufeng meant, and with a hint of regret in his eyes, he stood up and stretched out his right hand to shake Chen Yufeng's hand.

"We will meet again. I hope everyone will have better development by then." He expressed his blessings to Chen Yufeng.

Chen Yufeng nodded and said, "I will definitely do it."

After Zidane left, Chen Yufeng saw no one again.

He went out and exercised for a while, and then went home to rest around 9 o'clock.

For the rest, leave it to tomorrow. …………

The next day, training continued.

Chen Yufeng's physical strength is very low this time, so his improvement speed will be much faster.

1 o'clock a day, or even 3 o'clock for 4 days, 4 o'clock for 5 days, basically there is no problem, as long as he is not lazy.

"I can save 5 stamina points in 6 days. At this rate, by the end of the offseason, I should be able to save 120 points?" Chen Yufeng smiled, as if he saw his bright future.

120 points, this can be added 20 times, increasing the value by 40 points.

It seems that max level is not far away. Once he reaches max level, he can safely save for future rainy days!

After training at noon, Chen Yufeng returned home and soon met Beckenbauer, who is known as the football emperor.

"I guess you must know me." Beckenbauer is older, and his temples have turned gray, but his face still retains some of the vigor of that time.

"Of course." Chen Yufeng smiled and asked him to sit down while making tea.

Basic hospitality is still necessary, especially for such an old timer.

"I've seen you twice, at the award ceremony." Beckenbauer spoke very slowly, and he took the initiative to get close to Chen Yufeng, "You are so heroic, aren't you? Who walks on the podium? All handsome."

"Hahahaha." The two laughed together.

"An unforgettable season, Mr. Chen Yufeng must know why I came here." Beckenbauer took the tea from Chen Yufeng's hand, hoping to test Chen Yufeng's tone first.

"Yes, I know very well."

Chen Yufeng nodded. Regarding the highly respected Beckenbauer, he chose to take the initiative to ask: "Well... First of all, I have a question. If I join Bayern Munich, what can the team give me?"

"A higher priority than Lewandowski? Unlimited firing rights? The only offensive core? These three seem to be similar, and they are all what I need."

"I had a chat with Mr. Zidane about this issue before, but in the end we couldn't reach an agreement, so I rejected Real Madrid."

Rejecting Real Madrid... This is a big deal. Beckenbauer originally thought that Chen Yufeng would ask several teams to sell him at a price, but he did not expect to be so determined.

This represents his stance, his insistence on something.

Beckenbauer must be an experienced player after so many years in football. After hesitating for a while, he asked tentatively: "The team has the maximum salary, but I wonder if Mr. Chen Yufeng can accept the dual-core setup?"

"We all know that Lewandowski is a very good shooter. If you can work well with him and create some sparks, the team will definitely become the Champions League champion."

"Coming to a club like Bayern, Mr. Chen Yufeng doesn't have to play so hard. He can just perform at his basic level and get something easily."

"If you play along, you can win the championship, and the Ballon d'Or is no longer in the question, so why not?"

"And, with Mr. Chen Yufeng rejecting Real Madrid, our place is definitely the easiest place for you to hit Messi's record in the second half of the year."

"There are countless records here waiting for a gentleman. A German Grand Slam like the British Grand Slam is also very simple for you."

This statement is actually quite clever. While showing Bayern's strength, it also lifts up Chen Yufeng and outlines a blueprint for him to show off his skills in football after the cooperation between the two parties.

However, this is not enough for Chen Yufeng.

This year for Leicester City, Chen Yufeng scored 65% of the team's goals. In other words, he got 65%-70% of the team's offensive opportunities.

It's not that he is greedy or has any ball-dominating behavior, it's just that this team operates with a single core.

Although the media has hyped Leicester City's four-core offensive line, Mahrez also performed at a top level last season. But if you look closely, Chen Yufeng is the only single core.

The four-core offensive line creates opportunities, with Mahrez serving as the starting point of the offense most of the time.

There is only one big core terminator, Chen Yufeng, and this becomes more obvious towards the end of the season.

In addition to having a matching level of strength, delegating power to each line of the team is essential. Chen Yufeng enjoys this feeling very much. What man doesn't like to be a hero?

But if you go to Bayern, this will definitely be impossible.

Without Chen Yufeng, this team can score hundreds of goals a year. They have opportunity creators and finishers. They just hope that Chen Yufeng will add the icing on the cake.

So what’s the limit to icing on the cake?
It’s impossible to say that Chen Yufeng is gone. This team only scores 200 goals a year, right?
Isn’t that fantasy football?
Battles of annihilation?

Peak Meng San didn’t reach this level either.

Therefore, facing competition and plundering other people's scoring opportunities, it is certain that Chen Yufeng's upper limit is determined at this moment.

"You know, Mr. Beckenbauer, I only entered world football when I was 30 years old, and my 32nd birthday is coming soon."

Chen Yufeng spoke, and he expressed his thoughts sincerely, "I don't have much time left."

After seeing the confusion in Beckenbauer's eyes and the urge to speak, Chen Yufeng waved his hand to let the other party listen first, "Maybe this sentence is strange, but I want to say that my goal is to reach the historical level."

"Some people may think that I am now, but that's not enough for me. I hope that I can surpass everyone in all aspects, everything!"

"It is my dream to surpass Melo's Ballon d'Or awards and surpass their total career goals... to become the number one player in football history."

"So I can't just hang around now. While proving myself in multiple leagues, I also have to make sure that this team can put all its treasure on me, and that my teammates have the strength to help me."

"It's really hard. It's more like I'm telling a joke or talking nonsense when I'm drunk."

Chen Yufeng smiled and said, "However, who could have predicted in advance the season that just ended?"

At this moment, Chen Yufeng finally made his decision.

I can’t stay in Leicester City anymore, I have to leave.

Yes, the temptation of the Grand Slam is indeed great, but if he stays, others will not stay. It is still difficult to say whether he can win the Club World Cup and the European Super Cup.

What's more, he will definitely have these things in the future.

The hesitation at that time was just that I lowered my goals for myself at that moment.

From the first person in history to a Grand Slam winner...

He cannot lower his goals!
Now that you are here, you must fight to the end!
It is true that people are constantly improving.

In the conversation with Beckenbauer, Chen Yufeng once again improved himself and gained confidence in himself!

There was some shock in Beckenbauer's eyes. He had never thought that Chen Yufeng's real goal was this.

He originally thought... well, he no longer thought it was possible. He knew that it was impossible for the two parties to cooperate.

Beckenbauer suppressed his thoughts of persuasion and left a message before leaving: "I will pay attention to you as long as I live. I hope you can do what you say."

"I will." Chen Yufeng smiled.

…………

In the evening of that day, Chen Yufeng met Mr. Simeone, who he wanted to see most during the transfer negotiations, at home.

Simone came carrying a briefcase and seemed to have prepared a lot of things. Especially when he put his bag on the sofa, Chen Yufeng could clearly see the sharp dent in the sofa.

The atmosphere was not right for a moment, and a sense of embarrassment filled the room.

This is a feeling that Chen Yufeng has never experienced before, and it is definitely not brought by Simeone.

As we all know, Simeone is a bold person, and his character is definitely much better than Zidane.

Since Chen Yufeng is not embarrassed sitting with Zidane, why is it awkward sitting with Simeone?
"Ahem..." Simone coughed, relaxing the atmosphere.

He felt a lot colder in his heart. The first meeting between the two in private didn't seem to have the atmosphere he imagined.

He has been reading some psychology books recently, and he understands very well what the first impression means for the relationship between the sexes, or the relationship between brothers and friends.

"Hiss..." Chen Yufeng also made a sound, as if he had been burned by the teacup.

He gradually understood why the two of them were a little embarrassed.

It's because Atletico Madrid is the first destination in his heart, and Simeone also regards him as a goal that must be won. The two strong desires collided together, making the meeting between the two seem like they didn't know where to start.

If he was looking for a reason to refuse, or to raise some points to find fault with, that wouldn't be the case.

And if Simeone's pursuit of him is not strong enough, this veteran will not pay so much attention to his speech and behavior that it will be a bit awkward.

"Try the newly brewed tea." Chen Yufeng placed the tea in front of Simone.

"Well." Simeone picked it up, took a sip and said: "I don't know if you can feel my sincerity, and I don't know if you can understand how much my team wants to have someone like you. forward."

Chen Yufeng nodded and said nothing. He expected Simone to continue talking.

As soon as the topic is discussed, the embarrassment will gradually decrease. Once it is reduced to zero, the two of them will become familiar with each other in an instant, and there will not be a situation where they are not familiar with each other.

"Atletico Madrid only conceded 27 goals in La Liga last season, averaging less than one goal per game, which represents our stability."

"But the weakness of the offensive line is the key to our failure to win the La Liga championship. More than any head coach in the world, I look forward to having a player like Melo appear."

"If we had Messi and Ronaldo, we would have won the championship easily, believe me!"

"Not only will they receive strong support from other people in the club and score more than 40 goals in a season, they will also help the team contain the opponent's defenders and help us concede 7 or 8 fewer goals!"

"I originally thought that I would never have this kind of opportunity in my life, but I didn't expect that you would appear, a player whose efficiency is comparable to even Melo's peak, and who is more mature and more suitable for Atletico Madrid."

Simeone's expression changed and he turned to look at Chen Yufeng, "I told you from a long time ago that the team must sign you."

"If you are willing, I guarantee this will be a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages."

…………

ps: There is one more chapter, I will post it later, there must be one, but I recommend reading it tomorrow.

The pace will not be too slow, the transfer will be carried out very quickly, and the book will be closed after a little foreshadowing. After all, it is time to leave, and the book cannot be closed hastily like last season. This is related to the later part of the book.
