Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 164 European Cup Report, a new mission is coming (please vote for me)

France, Bordeaux.

On May 5, after a few days of simple rest, Chen Yufeng took a plane and rushed to Bordeaux.

As one of the host cities for this European Cup, Bordeaux is also the team base city set by UEFA for Belgium.

All the team's food, training and accommodation must be carried out here. If there are other away games, commuting is required like away games during the league.

It was already evening after arriving in Bordeaux.

As soon as he got off the plane, Chen Yufeng saw Mr. Wilmots waiting not far away.

He arrived relatively late and the team had already assembled, so Mr. Wilmots came specially to pick him up.

"An incredible season is over, Yufeng." Wilmots came up and spread his arms towards Chen Yufeng, "Congratulations, Mr. Double Champion."

"Hahaha."

Chen Yufeng smiled and walked forward and hugged Mr. Wilmots.

"As well as being the assist leader, you were also the Premier League's Player of the Season?"

Wilmots seemed a little unsure, and said while helping Chen Yufeng take the luggage.

"Yes, the official best." Chen Yufeng raised his eyebrows and followed Wilmots.

The team must have a driver who will take them to their hotel.

"It seems that we have another superstar on the right wing."

Wilmots laughed and patted Chen Yufeng on the shoulder, "Don't worry, as long as your condition is stable, I won't have any other thoughts about you."

"The main position is for sure."

"In the previous friendly match, everyone saw your ability. Who would let the Premier League Player of the Season be on the bench?"

Seeing the smile from Wilmots, Chen Yufeng said "haha" and said nothing else.

The two walked a little further from the airport, then got into a commercial vehicle from the parking lot and walked towards the hotel where they were staying.

Along the way, Chen Yufeng kept looking out the window.

The European Cup has attracted a lot of attention around the world. As the host city of Bordeaux, the football element has naturally been a highlight in recent months.

Looking out the window at this moment, there is a temporary building with football elements almost every 200 meters.

Countless jerseys were hung high and displayed on the streets.

Many stores have been temporarily converted into fan stores, which display jerseys and other peripheral products of all participating countries in the European Cup.

Looking higher up, many tifo pictures of football stars are also hung on landmark-shaped buildings, making it seem like a kingdom of football.

This is a feast for football and a stage for the world's top stars to perform!

During the 04 Athens Olympics, the Olympic feast attracted twice as much attention as the European Cup.

But this gap has been continuously narrowed in the future. Until this year's European Cup in France, the peak popularity was much higher than that of the Rio Olympics held at the same time!

This is the popularity of this charming sport around the world!
"Are you sure the jersey doesn't need to be modified? Then I will confirm the number 66."

Sitting in the car, Wilmots was still making final decisions with Chen Yufeng.

According to common sense, these stars who have performed at a very high level in the club during the season will generally have some pursuits for their jersey numbers when they come to the national team to compete.

For example, the popular No. 11, No. [-], NO. [-], No. [-], etc.

Conflicts between players generally begin to take root during this period, with some precursors.

"No need, I like No. 66."

Chen Yufeng smiled and confirmed his thoughts.

He hopes to have a number of his own and give this number a special meaning.

This is the pride deep in his heart and his optimism for his future.

He knows that one day he will become a top superstar and create the honor of having a number.

Chen Yufeng has always felt that since he is standing in this arena, he must strive for the best.

"Ok."

Mr. Wilmots suddenly felt happy and felt that Chen Yufeng had saved him a lot of trouble.

If Chen Yufeng stood in this position and just wanted No. 7 and No. 10, then he would really be in trouble.

Mr. Wilmots, who was in a good mood, pointed out the window and introduced Chen Yufeng, "In the past few days, tourists coming to watch the European Cup have entered Bordeaux."

"More than tens of thousands of tourists enter France every day, turning this place into a true football kingdom."

"This is a completely different feeling. It can be called a mini World Cup."

"Generally speaking, the team that wins the European Cup at that time will also be considered the favorite to win the World Cup two years later."

Speaking of this, Mr. Wilmots' eyes showed a hint of longing, "This is our best era, and I certainly hope we can make achievements in these events."

"I'm not a very good manager, but I can control the Belgian dressing room better than coaches from other countries."

"I also hope that the players can play their share of offensive football, strive for more honors for this team, and make the Belgian fans happy."

Wilmots kept talking about his thoughts, and Chen Yufeng beside him also kept listening quietly.

In fact, there is not much time left for them. On June 6, more than ten days later, the European Cup will officially open and enter the battle.

The 24 teams will be divided into six groups for a single round-robin showdown. The top two teams in each group will directly advance to the knockout rounds.

In addition, the four No. 3s with the best results in all groups will also enter the knockout rounds to form the top [-] for the knockout rounds.

The knockout rounds are also a single round-robin, and there will not be a double-round round of home and away games like the Champions League. Only one game will determine whether to advance.

This means that if a team wants to reach the finals, it needs six games.

There are three group matches and three knockout matches.

They must show strong suppression and fault tolerance, otherwise a small mistake may send them home directly!

Once you reach the final, not to mention, this is a game as grand as the Champions League final. You must strive to win and win the final championship trophy!

At night, Chen Yufeng arrived at the hotel and said goodbye to Wilmots, then went to his room and started packing his luggage.

During the month of the European Cup schedule, he will definitely not make any extra points.

He must ensure his competitive status to compete for the supreme honor.

[The system upgrade has been completed, and the advanced system task panel is open! 】

On the same day that Chen Yufeng completed his report, the system upgrade was finally completed.

This made Chen Yufeng stunned. He had not been upgraded for such a long time. Could it be that the condition for upgrading was that he come to the European Cup to report?

may be……

He didn't pay too much attention and began to look at it in detail.

[The advanced task system is similar to the intermediate task system, but is more complicated and is divided into two combined tasks. 】

[The first combined mission: European Cup journey. 】

[Mission [-]: Lead Belgium to the European Cup finals, and the mission will reward you with an epic treasure chest! 】

[Task 6: Score [-] goals or more in the European Cup, and the task will reward an epic treasure chest! 】

[Task [-]: Get the best player in the European Cup, and the task will reward you with an epic treasure chest! 】

[If you complete the above three tasks, you will be given a legendary treasure chest as a gift to the host! 】

Chen Yufeng has been listening to these tasks carefully, and after listening, he showed a sad face.

Final, 6 goals, best player.

This is such a difficult task...

"Go for it. After all, I haven't fought before, so I can only try playing."

Chen Yufeng took a deep breath to adjust his mood and began to look forward to the upcoming game.

[The second combination mission: Leicester City Legend. 】

[Task [-]: Lead Leicester City to be firmly in the Premier League and Europe next season. The task rewards epic treasure chests! 】

[Task 45: Create [-]+ goals for Leicester City next season, and the task will reward an epic treasure chest! 】

[Task [-]: Lead Leicester City to achieve at least the semi-finals in the European competition. The task will reward epic treasure chests! 】

[If you complete the above three tasks, you will be given a legendary treasure chest as a gift to the host! 】

After listening to all this silently, Chen Yufeng couldn't help but take a deep breath.

A high-level mission is indeed a high-level mission...

This level of difficulty is indeed a bit more advanced.

However, now that you are here, you have to fight for it.

He himself doesn't know how far he will develop by then...

Complete a few first to ensure you are safe, and then complete others after you have improved other abilities.

This is also a good way to do matryoshka dolls.

"Then wish me luck,"

Chen Yufeng murmured and then fell into sleep.

…………

The next day, after getting up, Chen Yufeng started training with the Belgian national team.

As before, training is mainly about recovery and maintenance.

In the technical and tactical training, Wilmots mainly used the [-]-[-]-[-]-[-] formation, instead of the strange [-]-[-]-[-]-[-] formation from the previous friendly matches.

Chen Yufeng also officially put on the main lineup during this period and followed the main lineup for run-in training.

Except for Mertens who was a little dissatisfied, the other team members were mostly happy to see this.

They are also looking forward to Chen Yufeng being able to help the team achieve some results in the European Cup, giving the team a greater chance of winning.

After all, this is a collective honor, and it will be beneficial to them if they can go further.

There is a huge difference between being a member of the semi-finals of the European Cup who has reached the finals and being a member of the European Cup champions.

As the days passed like this, Chen Yufeng also initially felt the effects of headers and Ronaldo's breakthroughs in training, and gradually became more and more proficient in the use of these two skills.

On June 6, they first ushered in a closed warm-up match against Finland at the team's training base.
