Chapter 39 I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of an ox [Please read~]
What the hell? !
Did the manager know that I was in contact with my agent and might leave Leicester City, so he suddenly called me? !
As soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by Ling Feng.
How could it be such a coincidence!
"Sorry, let me answer the phone."
After apologizing to Mendes and Mahrez, Ling Feng walked out of the cafe and went outside the store before answering the phone:
"Coach?"
"Ling, where are you?"
"I'm drinking coffee outside, what's wrong?"
"I have something very important to tell you."
Hearing the head coach's opening remarks, Ling Feng suddenly felt a little baffled.
What day is it today?
After a while, Mendes came to the door and said that he wanted to sign him; after a while, the head coach called again and said that he had something very important to tell him.
As his head turned, Ling Feng did not forget to respond:
"What is it?"
"Arsenal just sent an email to the club, wanting to trigger your liquidated damages and buy you out!"
Hearing the news, Ling Feng suddenly felt Somewhat unexpected.
Huh?
Arsenal?
Wenger likes me? !
After thinking about it, Ling Feng felt relieved.
My amazing performance in the past month, coupled with the praise from the media, was enough to attract the attention of scouts from many Premier League clubs.
Especially after directing the wonderful drama of eliminating Chelsea, even the famous "Madman" Mourinho praised himself at the post-match press conference.
Professional players, as long as they perform well on the court, both fame and money will follow.
In short, he is popular!
The most intuitive feeling is that his Twitter followers began to increase exponentially after the game.
By ten o'clock this morning, it had risen by more than 30,000!
Moreover, it is still rising at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The tweet he posted after the game yesterday had more than 50,000 comments and likes in less than half a day.
Given Wenger's hobby of cultivating young demons, it makes sense for him to take a fancy to himself.
It’s just that he didn’t expect that the timing of Wenger’s offer would be such a coincidence
Speaking of which, was there any liquidated damages in the contract he signed with the club?
Hearing Ling Feng's silence, Pearson on the other side suddenly became a little anxious.
“Hey, Ling, are you still listening?”
"Ah? Oh, I'm here."
"Although Arsenal has triggered your liquidated damages and can directly negotiate transfers with you. However, I want you to know that everyone at the club, including me, very much hopes that You stay.”
“Of course, as long as you stay, we will sign a new contract, and you will get a higher salary and a large signing fee, enough playing time, and you. My favorite jersey number."
After carefully listening to Pearson's offer of contract extension, Ling Feng said slowly:
"Coach, thank you very much for the club and for your importance. Me. But I need some time to think about it, okay?”
"Of course."
Pearson also understands that he has done his best as a head coach.
Next, it depends on Ling Feng’s choice.
. .
Back to the cafe again.
As soon as he sat down, Ling Feng said to Mendes sitting opposite:
"Mr. Mendes, I just received a call and learned something that surprised me."
“Oh, what?”
“Arsenal have just triggered the release clause in my contract and are planning to take me from Leicester to London.”
As soon as these words came out, both Mendes and Mahrez were stunned.
Mendes reacted immediately, spread his hands and said with a smile:
"This is not surprising at all. It is only a matter of time that your talent attracts the attention of other Premier League managers. Mr. Wenger, as always, "Mr. Mendes, I want to ask you a question"
"What problem?" "If I become your client, from your professional point of view. , what should I do?”
Hearing this, Mendes suddenly became energetic.
He knows very well that this issue is very critical.
It may determine whether he can sign the English genius in front of him!
So, Mendes frowned, thought for a moment, and then answered again:
“I will ask about your wishes first, and then provide you with my professional advice. Of course, it’s you who makes the final decision.”
This answer made Ling Feng very satisfied.
Without hesitation, Ling Feng stretched out his hand directly and showed a bright smile to Mendes:
"Mr. Mendes, your sincerity touched me, I am very willing to become your Customer.”
And this answer also satisfied Mendes.
The football giant stretched out his hand, shook hands with Ling Feng tightly, and asked:
"So, what is your wish?"
With these words, Mendes and Mahrez both looked at Ling Feng.
However, the two of them did not know that Ling Feng had already made a decision in his heart as early as the moment he entered the coffee shop.
In his opinion, staying in Leicester City is the best choice at this stage!
First of all, as a youth training player of Leicester City, I am also a native of Leicester.
In Leicester, a small city of 300,000 people, he is the darling of the team and fans, and is the future of the team that the head coach attaches great importance to.
If he is transferred with liquidated damages after he has just been promoted to the first team and performed well, he will definitely become the object of contempt for all Leicester City fans and even the entire city!
He should not only consider his own future, but also his parents.
You know, my parents have lived in Leicester for more than 20 years and have become integrated with this city.
Especially his mother, who was born and raised in Leicester.
If he "betrayed" Leicester City in this way, his mother would definitely be sad.
Secondly, in Leicester City, he is the core of the midfield.
Although he has not yet become the absolute main force of the team.
However, his playing time has been increasing rapidly.
It is foreseeable that as he performs well, the head coach will definitely continue to let him start.
But if he moves to Arsenal now, he will have to adapt to the new environment and new team tactics, and at the same time he will have to compete with other midfielders.
Playing time may not be guaranteed.
After all, Wenger grew up watching all the little demons at Arsenal.
How could he, a kid who had just arrived in the English Championship, gain Wenger's trust in a short period of time and replace Wilshere, Chamberlain, Ramsey and others as the main midfielder.
What's more, the pace and confrontation of the Premier League, as well as the opponents it faces, will only be stronger than the English Championship.
Once he performs poorly, he will sit on the bench.
For a young player, stable playing time is the key to growth.
Even if Ling Feng is cheating, he still needs to continue to complete achievements through competitions and obtain corresponding rewards in order to grow faster.
Taken together, rather than transferring to Arsenal, a place he is unfamiliar with, it is better to stay in Leicester City and be the core of his midfield.
I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of an ox.
I practiced in the English Championship for half a year, and then promoted to the Premier League with the team, competing in the Premier League with my familiar teammates such as Vardy and Mahrez!
Although I have already made a decision in my heart.
However, Ling Feng did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at Mendes and asked very sincerely:
"Mr. Mendes, I want to hear your opinion first. .”
