Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 211 Extracting skills and setting goals, Leicester City invites new players to join the ceremony (please vote for me)
  That night, Chen Yufeng came to his room, ready for a new draw.

There are three combined tasks in the European Cup, scoring 6 goals, leading the Belgian team to the final, and winning the best player of the tournament.

Following the completion of the first mission, his second mission was also successfully completed yesterday.

Now, it's time for his next epic skill.

[It is detected that the host has completed its mission: leading the Belgian team to the European Cup finals! 】

[Reward the host with an epic skill treasure chest! 】

As soon as he entered the system, the voice in his mind rang. Chen Yufeng did not hesitate and said with ease: "Turn on."

I was too tired yesterday and too busy today, so this draw has been postponed until now.

[Epic-level skills are being extracted for the host, please wait! 】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining ‘Maldini’s Slide’! 】

"Sliding tackle? Defensive ability?"

Just after sighing, Chen Yufeng felt a memory filled into his mind, and his defensive timing and tackle skills improved.

Maldini is a legendary defender of AC Milan. He has strong defensive ability and is also a regular in various best lineups.

There is no doubt about his defensive ability. Most of the time, he can complete steals by just predicting and blocking, and will not use sliding tackles.

But there is no doubt that for such an excellent player, his sliding tackle ability must be top-notch.

"Should I say it's bad luck or good luck?"

Chen Yufeng had a wry smile on his face, but he didn't have any other thoughts in his heart.

Although the system did not give him offensive skills this time, what else can Maldini say about his tackling ability?

This is definitely a good improvement.

A forward who can't defend is not a good full-back, and Chen Yufeng knows this well.

Sometimes, when retreating to one's own defensive area to assist in defense, this skill will be very useful, and it may often work wonders.

Another effect is that it creates a great threat when pressing the goalkeeper.

Benzema must have something to say about this. He often relies on pressure on the goalkeeper to get direct opportunities for himself to push into the empty goal.

"It's okay. It's not a problem if you're too strong on offense and weak on defense."

Chen Yufeng sighed, closed his eyes with a smile, and prepared to sleep.

He began to look forward to the award for the best player in the European Cup. This would not only greatly increase his value, but also help him complete all European Cup tasks.

Every time he came to the last task, Chen Yufeng was actually excited and nervous, and he did not dare to slack off until the last moment.

That's an epic treasure chest plus a legendary skill...

Chen Yufeng couldn't even imagine what kind of finishing and comprehensive abilities he would have if he opened another legendary treasure chest.

"Open the panel and take a look." He murmured, wanting to take a closer look.

[Host’s current ability panel:
  Name: Chen Yufeng
  Height: 183
  Age: 31
  Player values: Shooting: 68, Passing: 66, Dribbling: 84, Ball sense: 72, Speed: 84, Explosion: 76, Physical fitness: 80, Strength: 75, Coordination: 75, Comprehensive defense: 66.

Overall attributes (not average): 78
  Special skills: Beckham's full moon scimitar (legendary), Ronaldo's variation breakthrough (legendary), Quares' instep (epic), Van Persie's volley (epic), Dembele's left and right balance (epic), Manchester United Fancy compass belt (epic), Maldini slide tackle (epic). 】

It can be seen that the skill bar is already very abundant, with both hard and soft power, and now it is supplemented by a defensive ability.

This gave Chen Yufeng a lot of confidence and made him more confident on the court.

"The overall rating is 78. Even if skills are put aside, this should be an ability that can be based on the Premier League."

Chen Yufeng muttered to himself, feeling full of accomplishment as he looked at the attribute panel that continued to see slight improvements.

This is his own ability and has nothing to do with skills.

Of course, in terms of this attribute, it is very difficult to say whether seven or eight goals can be scored in the Premier League in a single season.

"Next season, the league goal goal is 35+ and the assist goal is 15+."

Chen Yufeng set a goal for himself and had some expectations in his heart.

In his mind, leaving aside other players, there are roughly three levels of top shooters.

The first level is like what he did last season, with a total of 25+ goals in the league plus various cup competitions.

The second level is probably the late Lewandowski and Harry Kane, who scored around 40 goals in all competitions in a single season.

The third level is naturally the Melo level, with close to 60+ goals in a single season.

Of course, these shooters cannot accomplish such amazing feats every season, and there are often deviations.

It’s just that they are roughly at this level and are forwards of this level.

For Chen Yufeng, he first wants to catch up with the second level, then catch up with the Melo level, and finally try those dusty records.

Counting the goals scored by the national team, Messi completed the feat of 91 goals in one year, and Cristiano Ronaldo has also won the European Golden Boot four times so far...

This is what he needs to catch up with, and he has confidence in himself.

"The climb up is really exciting."

Chen Yufeng sighed, saying that he did not feel any psychological pressure to catch up when he was thirty years old.

The contempt and suspicion from the outside world will only become better motivation for him, allowing him to persist in long-term physical training and improve himself!
  Later, when you get older and your body functions decline, it may not be urgent to add more.

At that point it’s just about maintaining the status quo.

It is not difficult for Chen Yufeng, because he has been here this year.

"hiss……"

After moving his legs, he felt a slight pain in his ankle that was shoveled by Ronaldo. Chen Yufeng decided to go to bed quickly and go to the medical room tomorrow to recover with massage and ice therapy.

…………

Leicester City training base, Leicestershire, England. A grand press conference was held here. Head coaches Ranieri and Vichai appeared here, along with a proud-looking Steve Walsh.

"We are very happy to win these two outstanding players and hope they can have a happy time in Leicester City in the new season." Vichai kept applauding and gave his opening speech.

The reporters were snapping photos at it, with a bit of madness in their expressions.

Soon, two players came over, one with some confidence and the other with a bit of shyness.

"Welcome to Leicester City, Mr Klose."

Ranieri stretched out his right hand towards this tall and confident figure, and then cast an incredulous look at Walsh.

This is indeed incredible...

He didn't even know what kind of ecstasy Steve Walsh had given Klose to make him willing to sign a one-year short-term contract with the club.

"Mr. Klose will wear the No. 19 jersey of Leicester City. He will serve as a registered player and assistant coach of the team in the new season and will sign a one-year contract with the club." Mr. Vichai was dealing with reporters beside him.

After saying this, the two parties signed the contract here.

Klose had no intention of accepting an interview. After signing the contract, he was about to leave the training base, but was suddenly stopped by a reporter.

"Mr. Klose, what attracted you to Leicester City! This is simply unreasonable!"

Hearing this voice, Klose hesitated again and again, but still turned his head with a smile, wanting to leave a good impression on the players and coaching staff of his new club.

"You know, this club has a lot of incredible players who did a miracle last year and have all of them here this year."

Klose did not sit down, but just stood here and bent down, speaking into the microphone: "Everyone must be watching the European Cup recently, right?"

After asking, his expression showed some shock, and he shook his head and said: "If you watch the European Cup, you will understand why there is always something about this club that attracts me."

After Klose said this, he shook hands and hugged Ranieri and others, and left here.

After him, Ashraf, who seemed relatively young and shy at this time, walked up.

Although he was already a well-known youth talent in Castilla at this time, he really had not been baptized in the professional league. The first loan offer came from Leicester City, which completed the miracle last year.

How could this not make him feel a little panicked?

"Uh……"

Ashraf originally thought that there would be an interview session first and prepared some speeches. When he realized that there was no interview session, he felt a little uncomfortable and planned to finish some words before starting to sign the contract.

The reporters at the scene immediately focused their cameras on the genius from Real Madrid, wanting to see what he would say.

"Actually."

Ashraf pretended to be calm and began to recite the paragraph he had written long ago, "Joining Leicester City was my dream when I was a child. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time."

On-site reporter: "???"

"This is a club with a long history, with the best fans in the UK, a good owner, a good manager and a group of strong players."

"Although it's just a loan, I will definitely give my all to this club, thank you."

After saying this, he seemed to notice that something was wrong with the expressions of the reporters in the audience. Ashraf quickly lowered his head and signed the contract in his hand with the smiling Vichai.

The reporters in the audience pursed their lips, and many even retreated tactically, making speechless expressions.

Childhood dream?
  Is this another big dreamer?
  When these young players come to a new club, can they change their rhetoric? They feel a little tired of hearing this.

Of course, although everyone can hear that this is a lie, his statement will actually be loved by Leicester City fans and management, including coaches and players.

At least he is very humble, puts his status very low, and knows how to respect them and this club.

What else is wrong with this?
  For a genius who comes from a big club, he has surpassed many people in doing this.

"Is Odegaard still reluctant to come?"

Not far away, Ranieri asked Steve Walsh in a low voice, with some regret on his expression, "You said he is the one you want most. In fact, I can relax the treatment."

"The players mainly feel that they may not have a place if they come here, and they want to play at a lower level in Castilla first." Steve Walsh shook his head, also a little disappointed.

Just then, several phone rings rang.

It was Steve Walsh, who hurried out to the media room and answered the phone.

"Odegaard agrees to come over, and I'll ask him to communicate with you." Zidane's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, I've thought about it carefully. I am willing to play for Leicester City for one season." Odegaard's energetic voice soon sounded.

"I was really excited to hear the news."

Steve Walsh stood there and kept shaking his head, and then couldn't help but said: "I want to know why you changed your mind now when you were so determined at the beginning."

"Let me answer it for him." Zidane seemed to answer the phone again and said: "He is very curious about the No. 6 Chen Yufeng of the Belgian team in the recent European Cup, and thinks that Leicester City may win the championship next season. take."

"Hahahaha, Klose felt the same way. In the end, he turned around and agreed to join." Steve Walsh replied with a smile, and then sighed in his heart, Yu Feng, what a life saver.

Led the Belgian team to the final, and the change of direction promoted Leicester City's recruitment.

This is really a lucky general. As expected, having an old man in the family is like having a treasure.

"Odegaard, please go out first." The voice on the other end of the phone continued to ring. This time Zidane seemed to have put the phone further away, and his voice was a bit soft.

Steve Walsh was just wondering when he heard another voice from the other side: "Okay, now let's communicate about renting Chen Yufeng. We are willing to pay a very huge rental fee for one year. "

"Remember, it's a very huge rental fee, a fee in the tens of millions that Leicester City can't refuse." Zidane's voice was filled with urgency.

It seems that these wealthy clubs are very smart in their calculations. If they are not willing to buy older players, they still have to ask about the loan.

"Hello, hello?"

Steve Walsh's voice suddenly became frustrated, and the phone was further away, "Are you talking? Why is there no sound?"

"Can you hear me? Mr. Zidane? That's it for now. Then let Odegaard come over quickly and we'll talk back."
