Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 20 Sina Sports Football membership surges! (Seeking for further reading)
Not long after, at the post-match press conference.

Ranieri and Advocaat were sitting here, and reporters in the audience asked questions one by one.

After Advocaat mentioned that Chen Yufeng broke the trend of the game and that his team did not give him any information about this player, Ranieri who was sitting next to him took over the conversation.

"Mr. Advocaat, I can give you an explanation on behalf of your data team."

Ranieri seemed to be laughing a little and said with a smile: "This player Chen Yufeng just made his Premier League debut today."

"He has been to many clubs before, but until this year, he had only appeared as a substitute in four EFL Cup games and six Belgian First Division games."

"The total playing time was less than three full games of football, and he didn't produce any statistics."

"In this case, it is normal that your data team cannot provide analysis and data about him."

"How can this be..." Advocaat's first reaction was to open his eyes wide and want to refute. After thinking that Ranieri didn't need to lie to him at this time, he fell into silence for a while.

What statistics and players are there?
Are you telling me that a player with no statistics or appearances can perform like this on his Premier League debut? !
Advocaat suddenly felt that his world view had collapsed, and he also blamed himself for the gaffe he had just made in the coaching bench.

Well, the variables did appear in the emergence of this player, not in his team.

He was a little anxious just now and attacked the wrong person.

Thinking of this, Advocaat was a little curious in his frustration. What is the situation of this Chen Yufeng, how old he is, and he can actually achieve such results in his debut in the Premier League.

If this continues, wouldn't the future be bright?
However, when Ranieri answered the reporter's question about Chen Yufeng, Advocaat's worldview collapsed again.

"Yes, as you said, Chen Yufeng is 30 years old this year and is considered a veteran at the end of his career."

Ranieri faced a reporter and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "But I think that 30 years old is actually the prime moment of a player. His career is still at its peak, and there is at least another three to five years left."

"As for what you said, the future of this player?"

"I don't think we can treat him as a short-term employee who only plays for one or two seasons. His performance is obvious to all and his career has just blossomed."

"If he can keep playing like he did today, I think he'll do great things."

"Including his experience of being a late bloomer, I even speculate that his career may go further in the future."

Seeing the ridicule on the faces of the reporters in the audience, Ranieri raised his eyebrows and then added: "Of course we cannot rule out this possibility. I think he will slowly prove himself."

On the sidelines, Advocaat, who heard this, was once again silenced by Ranieri's words.

He felt that if emotions could be embodied, there would definitely be a few question marks and ellipses on his head at this time.

30 years old?
A 30-year-old debutant?

Damn it, is the Premier League simply having trouble with Sunderland this season?

A man who had never achieved anything in the early stages of his career made his debut against Sunderland at the age of 30. After coming up, he made two goals!
Isn't this a joke?

If this kind of thing hadn't happened to him, Advocaat would never have believed it, and he became depressed again.

"Leicester City won this game, but will the Hammers West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur that they are about to face put some pressure on Leicester City?"

A reporter asked another question.

"Of course, but we will do everything we have to do to get points."

Ranieri answered the last question, then stood up and left, "Thank you, I won't answer any more questions."

…………

Not long after, in the distant Chinese continent.

Anyone who follows football circles quickly saw a report. [After 18 years of persistence, Chen Yufeng finally made his Premier League debut!He came off the bench and contributed one goal and one assist! 】

When many fans saw this news, their first reaction was that they were in a daze, as if they were still dreaming while holding their mobile phones.

The second reaction was that another marketing account was promoting false news to attract them to read.

Just when they still couldn't control their hands, after clicking on this message, everyone's expressions slowly changed.

They quickly read the report, then quickly reached to the end of the report and made their own comments.

Soon, with waves of shock and pride, they began to download a software at the same time.

Sina Sports!

Not long after, among the Sina Sports Operations Department.

The employees responsible for statistics were eating their breakfast and chatting.

"Do you still remember Chen Yufeng? Last night he was like a god descending from the earth. He came off the bench and scored one goal and one assist in the Premier League." A staff member who follows football mentioned this topic with excitement in his words.

"He played? And scored a goal?"

Someone echoed, obviously not believing it.

"Yes, it's outrageous. I just saw the news. It seems that a player from our country hasn't scored a goal in the five major leagues for a long time. He finally got through it."

"Damn it, it's really awesome. This is really data. It fills a gap."

"It just seemed like something happened out of nowhere. It was so sudden. It didn't give us any time to prepare."

"Didn't he become naturalized in the end?"

"So what, everyone knows what the national football team is like. As a football player, it's better to leave here as soon as possible. At least his parents are Chinese and he is also of Chinese descent."

"Hey, tell me, no one wants to buy Premier League memberships? Will Chen Yufeng make a big splash when he comes on the scene..." Someone seemed to suddenly think of something and made a point.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone seemed to suddenly realize it. They immediately put down their rice and sat in front of the computer.

The number of members watching Premier League games has been a point of great concern to senior officials during this period.

Such a high copyright fee was used to get the copyright back, but the response was not good at all. Not many people bought it, and it was difficult for the number of viewers per game to exceed [-].

If this continues, I will lose all my pants.

Maybe this time... there will be a big rise.

Not long after sitting in front of the computer, an employee shouted excitedly.

"It's going up, it's going up, it's going up big!"

He directly moved the computer away and showed it to everyone present.

"I'm a good boy."

Immediately afterwards, the department manager's exclamation sounded. At this time, he looked completely dumbfounded, with a few remaining grains of rice hanging from the corner of his mouth. "In one early morning and one morning, the number of people increased by 29?"

He immediately stood up, wiped his mouth quickly, and ran to the general manager's office to report the news.

He had a hunch that this investment from Sina Sports might become the best investment of the year with Chen Yufeng's sudden rise to power!
