The old man was in trouble.

Chapter 369 The Butterfly Effect! Blame it on Benzema!

Perez?

Ling Feng reacted immediately to the name and the old voice of the other party.

“Oh, Mr. Perez! Buenas noches!”

The Perez on the other end of the phone was the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, known as “Lafayette”!

Although Mendes had previously learned that Lafayette had asked about his transfer intentions.

However, this was the first time that Lafayette had called in person!

“It seems that Jorge (Mendez) is not joking. Your Spanish is really good!”

After saying it in English, Florentino on the other end of the phone said in Spanish:

“It’s a pity that you were eliminated. Your performance is eye-catching.”

“Real Madrid welcomes all the excellent players in the world, so.”

“Ling, are you willing to play for Real Madrid?”

Ling Feng was not surprised by the old man’s intention.

However, from the tone of the old man, he still heard a little bit of well-disguised arrogance.

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

This is also true.

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

However, in Ling Feng’s view, such an invitation still lacks sincerity.

Although Ling Feng respects Florentino’s management ability and vision, he also has a good impression of Real Madrid, a super giant.

However, he could only give one reply to this invitation:

“Thank you very much for your invitation, Mr. Perez. But I need time to think about it.”

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

Of course, he could hear that “need time to think about it” meant a euphemistic refusal!

Good guy!

This kid actually dared to refuse him? !

You know, he is Florentino Perez, the chairman of Real Madrid Club!

And this is the first time he has been rejected by a player since he personally called to invite him to join!

If the outside media knew about it, it would definitely cause an earthquake in the football world!

You know, the power of Florentino’s “XXX, are you willing to play for Real Madrid?” can be said to be the most important transfer operation in the world of football!

Just with this sentence, many super geniuses and super stars wanted to pack their bags immediately, come to Madrid one after another, and put on the pure white knight robe!

Among them are Zidane, Figo, Beckham, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, this trick doesn’t work in front of Ling Feng.

First of all, he doesn’t dream of playing for Real Madrid.

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

However, he doesn’t have much feeling for this 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 final of the European Cup, has an unshakable position in Real Madrid.

Even if he joins Real Madrid, he will only become a younger brother who helps Cristiano Ronaldo.

Whether it is the right to fire on the field, or the tactical position and resources, he will definitely not have them as a newcomer.

Even ranked behind Benzema and Bale!

This is unacceptable for Ling Feng, who is aiming for the Golden Ball and the team leader!

Besides, how much can 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 great players in the future, he must defeat them head-on, rather than wait until they are old and their competitive state declines before climbing to the top.

And the Red Devils Manchester United, which is in a trough, is his next stop!

Rather than joining Real Madrid, which is about to win the Champions League three times in a row, and smiling with them.

It would be more interesting to lead Manchester United to achieve a revival, and then defeat Real Madrid head-on in the Champions League and win the Big Ear Cup from the hands of the Champions League king!

Therefore, Ling Feng declined Florentino’s invitation.

The rejected old man did not continue to persuade, but said, “Okay, you think about it slowly,” and hung up the phone directly.

Real Madrid never cares about any player.

Even Ling Feng, the youngest best player in the history of the Premier League and the most outstanding talent in the UK in the past 20 years.

It doesn’t work!

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 called him!

Like Florentino, as the spokesperson of the Qatari consortium and a good friend of the King of Qatar, Nasser thought that he would definitely get Ling Feng if he personally went out.

However, he was wrong.

Even if he was sincere and offered an annual salary of 13 million euros after tax, comparable to Ibrahimovic’s joining, the team’s top position, and the Paris No. 10 jersey, he only got a reply from Ling Feng that “it takes time to consider”.

In response, Nasser, who felt 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:

“It’s really interesting.”

First Mourinho, then the old man and Nasser

It seems that his performance in this European Cup has attracted the heads of major giants, and they even invited him to join the team in person!

It must be said that Ling Feng’s performance in this European Cup is phenomenal!

Five appearances, four times the best player of the game, five goals and seven assists!

The average score is 7.8, not only the first in the player rating list, but also the top scorer and assists in the European Cup!

Moreover, he is also the favorite for the best rookie, best player and golden boot of the European Cup.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ling Feng is definitely the best and most stable player in this European Cup in France!

No one else!

Of course, the team’s performance of stopping in the semi-finals may make him compete for the best player

However, the best rookie basically belongs to him.

There is still suspense, only the golden boot and the best player are left.

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

If Griezmann scores a goal in another semi-final held tomorrow, he will be able to tie his goal number.

And scoring twice will surpass Ling Feng!

So far, Ling Feng has successively completed six achievements, [European Cup Debut] [European Cup First Goal] [European Cup First Assist] [European Cup Best Player of the Game] [European Cup Pass and Shoot] [European Cup Assist and Score], and received a total of eight free attribute points as rewards.

If he can complete the achievements of [European Cup Best Rookie], [European Cup Golden Boot] [European Cup Best Player] [European Cup Best Team], he will definitely be able to get more generous rewards.

In this way, he will definitely become stronger next season!

Thinking of this, Ling Feng can’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?

And 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 mediocre.

Among them, The Times, which focuses on in-depth summaries, conducted a comprehensive analysis of the performance of the Three Lions 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!

This British captain was like an outsider in the team’s offensive system throughout the cup.

As the team’s main right winger, he not only failed to provide the Three Lions with the speed and explosion 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, due to the weak opponent, Rooney was able to use the team’s overall superior strength to

However, when it came to the match against the “European Red Devils” Belgium, Rooney’s presence became the weakest link in the team’s offense.

If Hodgson hadn’t changed positions and let Ling Feng, the most creative player in the frontcourt, come to the right and force the situation to open up.

Perhaps, the inexperienced Three Lions would have fallen under the fierce offensive of Belgium.

In the key battle against Portugal, Rooney’s helplessness in the frontcourt and his whirlwind shots largely robbed Ling Feng of the ball and the right to fire.

In addition to analyzing the team and individual performance, the article also bluntly pointed out that Hodgson

Conservative substitutions.

If Sterling was not substituted for Sturridge in the second half of the game.

Instead, Rooney was substituted for Lingard.

Then the division of labor among the four players in the frontcourt would be clearer!

Sterling and Ling Feng are responsible for dribbling and breaking through to create opportunities;

Lingard is responsible for pulling (random) space (a few) and connecting with Ling Feng, and Vardy is responsible for grabbing points and finishing!

After carefully reading the analysis article of The Times, Ling Feng couldn’t help but sigh:

“Uncle Bird, you are worthy of it!”

Because the views expressed in the selected articles prepared by more than a dozen football experts of The Times are almost exactly the same as the views reviewed by Mourinho with him last night!

And the professional analysis of each person and newspaper tells everyone a fact:

If Rooney is replaced in the second half and Lingard is replaced, England has a great chance of solving Portugal in the regular game time!

And thus reaching the final!

Unfortunately, hindsight is just hindsight, and it 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.

The host team relied on Griezmann’s shot in front of the goal to beat the World Cup champion Germany team 1-0 and advance to the final!

And this result surprised Ling Feng a little.

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

Now, he only scored one goal, tying Ling Feng’s number of goals.

Could it be that because of his presence, he led England to qualify 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, which consumed the team’s physical strength.

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

Butterfly effect!

Ling Feng has long been accustomed to such changes.

He can only pray in his heart that the final will be like the script he has seen, and Griezmann will never score!

. . .

July 10th.

The final of this European Cup was held in the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, Paris!

France VS Portugal!

Ling Feng watched the final of this European Cup with his teammates in the hotel.

Having read the script, Ling Feng certainly hoped that the game would go as the script said.

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

Not only was he not injured by Payet, but the only true god of Portugal also took advantage of a quick counterattack opportunity under the adversity of being suppressed by France throughout the game, took the ball on the right and cut inside, passed two people, and shot with his left foot into the far corner!

He single-handedly blasted open the goal guarded by the French goalkeeper Lori!

This scene made the England internationals around him jump up from their seats and exclaimed.

It also made Ling Feng stunned.

What’s going on?

Is Luo Ge excited? !

At this time, Vardy, who was sitting next to him, turned his head 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 recalled Mourinho’s advice to him.

Yes!

If he had Ronaldo’s reverse foot ability, with his physical fitness and speed, he could also completely copy Ronaldo’s god-level operation of “breaking through the right and cutting in, and shooting with reverse foot to score”!

In that case, maybe it would not be Portugal that entered the final, but England

So, all this is to blame Benzema!

In 2015, Benzema, the main striker of the French team, was removed from the national team because of suspected blackmail of teammates.

And in this European Cup, because Benzema did not come, the French team had no choice but to advance all the way around Giroud and Griezmann and reached the final.

However, in the final, Giroud was closely watched by Portugal’s experienced defense and had no style as a pivot center forward.

If Benzema started, with his mobility, he would definitely pose a great threat to Portugal’s defense!

Of course, this is just one of countless assumptions.

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

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

If he was on the court, Griezmann, as the core of the team, might not be able to perform so well.

In the end, it was with Ronaldo’s only goal that Portugal defeated France in 90 minutes of regular time and successfully won the European Cup.

Army!

This is also the first European Cup champion in Portugal’s history!

And watching Luo Ge crying with joy after holding the championship trophy on TV, Ling Feng was also in awe.

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

Although he was defeated in the first head-on confrontation with Ronaldo

However, Ling Feng still learned a valuable lesson from the highest mountain in football:

That is never give up!
