Chapter 40 The genius who was robbed
Hearing Ling Feng’s request, Mendes was not surprised, but showed a confident smile and immediately said:
“If you transfer now Arsenal has both advantages and disadvantages. Let’s talk about the advantages first.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised a finger:
“First, a higher stage. Arsenal are now at the top of the Premier League and have a chance to compete for the Premier League title. Even if they fail to win the championship, there should be no problem in ranking in the top four under the leadership of Mr. Wenger.”
"Second, a head coach who knows how to use young players better. Mr. Wenger is a coach who is very good at guiding young players. Under his hands-on instruction, you will definitely be able to grow faster!"
"Third."
With Mendes' words, Mahrez, who was sitting aside, frowned more and more.
He wanted to interrupt Mendes several times, but out of politeness and cultivation, he remained silent.
He just stared closely at Ling Feng, who looked thoughtful, hoping that he would not be fooled by Mendes' words.
However, what neither Mahrez nor Ling Feng expected was that after analyzing a lot of benefits of moving to Arsenal, Mendes finally said this:
"Even if you move to Arsenal, There are many benefits, but I still recommend you to stay in Leicester City."
As soon as these words came out, Ling Feng and Mahrez couldn't help showing a look of surprise.
“Oh, Mr. Mendes, this is different from what you said at the beginning.”
Faced with Ling Feng’s confusion, Mendes looked confident appearance, explained:
"I didn't know what you were thinking at first, but now I know."
Raising his eyebrows at Ling Feng, Mendes took a sip of coffee and then changed the subject:
"After talking about the advantages of transfer, let's talk about the disadvantages."
"In fact, whether it is Arsenal or other teams, if you make a transfer in this winter transfer window, you will We will face several problems.”
“Adaptation of team tactics, playing time issues, etc.”
"Although I think that with your strength, you are fully capable of establishing a foothold in Arsenal. However, I cannot guarantee that you can become the main midfielder or even the core of Arsenal."
Mendes's The analysis is actually similar to what Ling Feng was worried about.
We are all afraid that transferring to a new team midway through the season will affect playing time and even competitive status.
"Staying in Leicester City is your wisest choice at this stage!
"Staying in Leicester City, I can guarantee your core position in the team , make sure you have enough playing time. Also, regarding salary and bonuses, I can also help you get the highest level in the team. ”
"Of course, it is my responsibility as an agent to make the club accept these conditions. Just rest assured."
Listening to Mendes's expression of wrapping his arms around me, Ling Feng suddenly felt I feel very at ease.
He has no doubts about Mendez's negotiating ability.
“So, what is your decision?”
Faced with Mendes’ question and Mahrez’s gaze, Ling Feng smiled slightly and said:
< br>
"I want to stay in Leicester City!"
As soon as these words came out, Mahrez's frown suddenly relaxed.
And Mendes also showed a satisfied smile.
“As you wish!”
“Then let’s sign the agency contract first, and then we can go and discuss the details of the new contract with the club”
. . .
Just as Ling Feng and Mendes reached an agreement, Leicester City Club's sporting director Rudkin and head coach Pearson were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Without him, before they could wait for Ling Feng’s reply, they first waited for other clubs’ offers for Ling Feng!
After learning that Ling Feng’s contract liquidated damages were only one million pounds, many clubs, after Arsenal, sent transfer emails one after another, offering to transfer Ling Feng to the liquidated damages price. Buy it!
In addition to the clubs in the Championship, there are also many Premier League clubs:
Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Crystal Palace, Southampton, Swansea
It is worth mentioning that Nottingham Forest, which is a mortal enemy of Leicester City and ranks fifth in the British Championship, also sent a message. Email.
Let’s not worry about whether we can grab the top spot among the many Premier League clubs.
Just to disgust the rival club, Nottingham Forest will not let go of this rare opportunity
As many clubs have made offers, I don’t know whether a certain club is deliberately fishing in troubled waters, or whether The staff of a certain club collected money, and the transfer news that multiple clubs planned to trigger Ling Feng's liquidated damages was leaked to the media.
This news spread widely in just a few hours! As the media reported the incident on social media, it caused a minor disturbance in English football.

Everyone is wondering which Premier League club Ling Feng will choose to join.
To most passers-by, Ling Feng will definitely seize this opportunity and transfer to a Premier League club to achieve a career leap.
For Leicester City fans, this is extremely bad news.
After learning that other clubs planned to take away their own youth talents at such a low price, Leicester City’s largest fans organization “Fox Club” immediately convened a fan meeting to prepare banners with various slogans. The club protested.
In addition, fans flocked to the official website and Twitter of Leicester City Club and started to swipe the screen!
“Keep Ling Feng!”
“If Ling Feng is let go, the club’s top management should get out!”
"We want Ling!"
While putting pressure on the club, the fans did not forget to leave a message on Ling Feng's Twitter:
"Ling, don't leave!"
“Man, we love you, stay!”
“This is your home!”
In addition to fans trying to retain Ling Feng, Leicester City legend Lineker, who is closely related to Ling Feng, also sent a tweet.
The content of the tweet is very simple, just one sentence:
"Guys, calm down, I believe Ling will make the right decision!"
However, just in time, While there was a commotion outside, no one knew that the protagonist of this transfer turmoil had already arrived in London from Leicester
. . .
Time: January 26, 2014, 5 pm.
Location: London.
Arriving in London on Mendes' private plane, Ling Feng, who had just signed the agency contract, officially became another player under the agency "Restifoot" founded by Mendes. client!
After walking out of the agency and getting into a black SUV that Mendes had arranged for him, Mendes, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said:
"Where is your transfer going? There’s a huge commotion online”
Hearing this, Ling Feng raised his eyebrows, immediately took out his phone and opened Twitter.
Looking at the messages from fans on Twitter, Ling Feng couldn't help but be a little moved.
Although he has just traveled through time for a month, he cannot say how deeply he feels about Leicester City.
But these fans are really nice to him!
And just at this moment, the cell phone rang suddenly!
However, what Ling Feng didn't expect was that the caller ID was not head coach Pearson, but an unfamiliar number.
I wanted to hang up directly.
However, Ling Feng thought for a while and answered the call:
"Hello?"
"Is it Ling?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"I am Wenger, Arsene Wenger."
