Chapter 369 Butterfly Effect! It’s all Benzema’s fault!
Perez?
This surname, coupled with the other party's somewhat old voice, made Ling Feng react immediately.
"Oh, Mr. Perez! Buenasnoches!"
The Perez on the other end of the phone is none other than Florentino, the chairman of Real Madrid Club and known as "Lafayette" in the world. ·Perez!
Although I had previously learned from Mendes that Lafayette had inquired about his transfer intention.
However, this is the first time that Lafayette has called in person!
“It seems that Jorge (Mendes) is not joking, your Spanish is indeed very good!”
After speaking in English, Florentino on the other end of the phone said: He said in Spanish:
"It's a pity that you were eliminated. Your performance is eye-catching."
"Real Madrid welcomes all outstanding players from all over the world, so..."
"Ling, are you willing to play for Real Madrid?"
Ling Feng was not surprised by Lafayette's intention.
However, from Lafayette's tone, he could still hear a hint of well-disguised arrogance.
Perhaps in Florentino's view, Real Madrid is the best team in the world.
This is also true.
So, as the club chairman, personally inviting Ling Feng to join is already a big deal.
However, in Ling Feng's opinion, such an invitation still lacks sincerity.
Although Ling Feng respects Florentino's management ability and vision very much, he also has a good impression of Real Madrid, a super giant.
However, he can only give one reply to this invitation:
"Thank you very much for the invitation, Mr. Perez. However, I need time to think about it."
This answer, even Florentino, who has seen big scenes and stormy waves, can't help but be stunned.
Of course he can hear that "needs time to consider" means a polite rejection!
Good guy!
How dare this boy reject me? !
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 players to join!
If the outside media finds out, this will definitely cause an earthquake in the football world!
You know, the power of Florentino's "XXX, are you willing to play for Real Madrid" is the most powerful of all transfer operations in world football!
Just by this sentence, many super geniuses and super stars are eager to immediately pack up their bags, come to Madrid one after another, and put on that pure white knight jersey!
Among them were Zidane, Figo, Beckham, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, this trick did not work in front of Ling Feng.
First of all, he is not the Emperor Meng.
Although Real Madrid is dubbed by fans as the ultimate destination for all professional players.
However, he doesn't have much feeling about this best club of the century.
Secondly, it is not a good time to join Real Madrid where there are so many stars.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who has just won the Champions League and reached the European Cup finals, has an unshakable position in Real Madrid.
As for myself, who was eliminated by Ronaldo himself, even if he joins Real Madrid, he will only become Ronaldo's little brother.
Whether it is the right to fire on the field, or the tactical status and resources, he will definitely not have it when he first arrives.
Even ranked behind Benzema and Bale!
This is unacceptable to Ling Feng, who aims at the Golden Globe Award and the team boss!
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 La Liga and Champions League champions!
So, if he wants to truly surpass the two peerless heroes in the future, he must defeat them head-on, rather than wait until they are older and their competitive status declines before climbing to the top of the mountain.
And the Red Devils Manchester United, which is at a trough, is his next stop!
Instead of joining Real Madrid, who are about to usher in three consecutive Champions League titles, they can just sit there and laugh together.
It would be much more interesting to lead Manchester United to a renaissance, then defeat Real Madrid head-on in the Champions League, and win the Big Ear Cup from the King of Champions League!
Therefore, Ling Feng declined Florentino's invitation.
Lafayette, who was rejected, did not continue to persuade, but said, "Okay, think about it slowly" and hung up the phone directly.
Real Madrid never cares about the feelings of any player.
Even Ling Feng, the youngest and best player in the history of the Premier League, is the best talent in Britain in the past two decades.
No way!
What Ling Feng didn’t expect was that just after Florentino hung up the phone, Paris President Nasser got Ling Feng’s private number from somewhere and called him!
Like Florentino, as the spokesperson of the Qatar consortium and a good friend of the King of Qatar, Nasser thought that if he acted personally, he would definitely get Ling Feng in his pocket.
However, he was wrong.
Even if he was sincere and offered attractive promises such as an annual after-tax salary of 13 million euros comparable to that of Ibrahimovic when he joined, the team's top position, and the Paris No. 10 jersey, he only received a "needs time to consider" from Ling Feng. reply.
In response, Nasser, who felt offended, stiffly replied, "Then 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 Galeries Lafayette and Nasser
It seems that his performance in this European Cup has attracted the heads of major wealthy clubs, and they even did not hesitate to personally invite him to join the team!
It must be said that Ling Feng’s performance in this European Cup is phenomenal!
Played five times, won the best of the match four times, scored five goals and assisted seven times!
The average rating per game is 7.8, not only ranking first in the player rating list, but also dominating the European Cup scorer and assist list!
Moreover, he is also the favorite to win the European Cup's Best Rookie, Best Player and Golden Boot.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ling Feng is definitely the best and most stable player in this French European Cup!
No one!
Of course, the team's performance of stopping at the semi-finals may make him compete for the best player
But the best rookie basically belongs to him.
The only suspense left is the Golden Boot and the Best Player.
In the race for the Golden Boot, Ling Feng, who scored five goals, is slightly ahead of France's Griezmann, who scored four goals.
If Griezmann scores a goal in another semi-final tomorrow, he will be able to equal his number of goals.
And scoring twice will surpass Ling Feng!
So far, Ling Feng has successively completed [European Cup debut] [European Cup first goal] [European Cup first assist] [European Cup best player] [European Cup passing and shooting achievements] [European Cup Assists and Scored Two] Six achievements, and a total of eight free attribute points were awarded.
If he can complete the achievements of [European Cup Best Rookie] and [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 even stronger next season!
Thinking of this, Ling Feng can't wait to start the new season.
. .
The next day.
Unsurprisingly, most of the British media blamed the team's elimination on Rooney, who was the captain and missed a penalty kick! Who made him the captain?
The team captain is often the first choice for every 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 quite satisfactory.
Among them, The Times, which focuses on in-depth summaries, conducted a comprehensive analysis of the Three Lions' performance in this European Cup.
They pointed out in the article that Rooney's missed penalty kick was not the biggest culprit of the team's elimination.
On the contrary, it was his performance during regular game time and overtime that was one of the main reasons for the Three Lions' elimination!
The British captain has been 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 explosiveness needed on the wing, but in many cases slowed down the speed and rhythm of the frontcourt attack.
In the group stage and the first knockout match, due to the weak opponent, Rooney was able to use the overall superior strength of the team to
However, in the game against the "European Red Devils" Belgium, Rooney The existence of the team has become the weakest link in the team's offense.
If Hodgson hadn't switched positions, Ling Feng, the most creative player in the frontcourt, could come to the right and forcefully open up the situation.
Perhaps, the inexperienced Three Lions have already fallen under Belgium's fierce offensive.
In the key battle against Portugal, Rooney was at a loss in the frontcourt, and The wild shots took away Ling Feng's right to hold the ball and fire to a large extent.
In addition to analyzing the team and individual performance, the article also bluntly pointed out Hodgson's conservative substitutions.
If Sterling is not replaced in the second half of the game, Sturridge is replaced.
Instead, Rooney was replaced and Lingard was replaced.
Then the division of labor among the front four will be clearer!
Sterling and Ling Feng are responsible for breaking through with the ball and creating opportunities;
Lingard is responsible for pulling (blabbering) (a few) empty (hands) and connecting (running) with Ling Feng, while Vardy is responsible for grabbing points and finishing!
After carefully reading the analysis article in The Times, Ling Feng couldn’t help but sigh:
“Uncle Psy, it’s you!”
Because , the views expressed in the selected article prepared by more than a dozen football experts in The Times are almost exactly the same as the views Mourinho reviewed with him last night!
The professional analysis of one person and one newspaper is telling everyone one fact:
If Rooney is replaced in the second half and Lingard is replaced, England will have a high possibility of defeating Portugal during regular game time!
Thus reaching the finals!
Unfortunately, hindsight is just hindsight and cannot change the fact that the team was eliminated.
As Portugal eliminated England in a penalty shootout and advanced to the final, the other semi-final also came to an end later.
The host country relied on Griezmann's shot in front of the goal to defeat the World Cup champion Germany 1-0 and advance to the final!
This result surprised Ling Feng.
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 first in the group and led Wales to the bottom half.
Then Wales, led by Bell, caused a lot of trouble to France, thus consuming the team's physical energy.
In the final semi-final, Griezmann only scored one goal.
Butterfly Effect!
Ling Feng has long been accustomed to such changes.
He could only pray in his heart, hoping that the final would be like the script he had read, and that Griezmann would never score!
. . .
July 10th.
At the Stade de France in Paris Saint-Denis, the final of this European Cup ushered in!
France VS Portugal!
Ling Feng watched the European Cup final with his teammates in the hotel.
Ling Feng, who had read the script, certainly hoped that the game would go according to the script.
However, what he never expected was that Ronaldo, who had inspired the "King of Adversity" exclusive BUFF in the last game, would explode again in this game!
Not only was he not injured by Payet, Portugal's only true god was still under the adversity of being suppressed by France throughout the game. With a quick counterattack opportunity, he took the ball on the right and broke through to cut inside. After passing two people, he took off his left foot and shot into the far corner!
Single-handedly, he directly blasted away the goal guarded by French goalkeeper Lloris!
And this scene directly made the England international players around them jump out of their seats and marveled again and again.
Ling Feng was also stunned.
What's going on?
Did Brother Luo get chicken blood? !
At this time, Vardy, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and said with a sigh:
"Ling, if your left foot is like Ronaldo, that would be great!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and couldn't help but recall the advice Mourinho gave him.
yes!
If he had Cristiano Ronaldo’s inverse-foot ability and exploded with his physical fitness and speed, he would be able to replicate Ronaldo’s wave of “breaking through from the right, cutting in, inverse-footing and scoring the goal”. operate!
In that case, perhaps it will not be Portugal but England that will enter the final
So, Benzema is to blame for all this!
In 2015, Benzema, the main forward of the French team, was expelled from the national team due to suspicion of blackmailing teammates.
In this European Cup, because Benzema did not come, the French team had no choice but to rely on Giroud and Griezmann to advance all the way to the final.
However, in the final, Giroud was targeted by Portugal's sophisticated defense and did not have the style of a fulcrum center at all.
If Benzema starts, with his mobility, he will definitely pose a great threat to Portugal's defense!
Of course, this is just one of countless assumptions.
If Benzema participates in this European Cup, France may not necessarily be able to reach the final.
Because there is some overlap between his and Griezmann's roles in the French team.
If he were 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 within 90 minutes of regular time and successfully won the European Cup!
This is also Portugal’s first European Cup championship in history!
Looking at Brother Luo crying with joy as he held 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 reached the top of Europe is like a lighthouse on the great waterway, guiding every child with dreams to move forward bravely!
Although he was defeated in the first head-to-head confrontation with Ronaldo
However, Ling Feng still learned a valuable lesson from the highest mountain in football. :
That is to never admit defeat!
