Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 225 New legendary skills, Chen Yufeng in a new state ready to go (please vote for me)
  On July 7, public opinion from the outside world suddenly started flying all over the sky.

The news that Belgium won the European Cup immediately spread to the world.

Chen Yufeng's name was mentioned again, and he truly became a superstar-level figure in everyone's mind.

This storm will not last long, and there is no need to pay too much attention because it is simply overwhelming. Tens of millions of people discuss this every day.

This will be something that will accompany Chen Yufeng and the Belgian team throughout his life. No matter where he goes in the future, others will mention this classic story of his.

There is still a long time to enjoy the popularity and honors. Next, let’s focus on the club competition next season.

If the national team game is the foundation for honor, then the club game is the holy place for true honor.

Countless championships and countless records are waiting for every player!

During this time, the start of the new season is relatively close, and the big moves in European football have gradually begun.

Ignoring other leagues for the moment, just looking at the Premier League, the big6 teams that were robbed of the championship last season are still holding their breath.

For all the Big6, there is no ambiguity at all about the coaching changes that need to be made and the lineup that needs to be strengthened.

As a traditional strong team in this arena, their status cannot be challenged. They must completely eliminate the possibility of such a miracle happening again!
  The first is Manchester United. Mourinho took office and became the team's new coach.

This old acquaintance of the Premier League did not leave this tumultuous arena in the end, and stayed after changing teams.

In terms of signings, the Glazer family of Manchester United were also merciless and increased investment. They directly brought the summer signing king Pogba from Juventus for a price of just over [-] million euros.

Then, €[-] million brought midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Dortmund, and €[-] million brought Bailly from Villarreal.

Even Ibrahimovic, whose contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired, was exempted from the high salary contract and continued to play with the team.

This is definitely a total transfer investment of more than [-] million, not only transfer fees, but also player salary contracts and various miscellaneous expenses.

In a rare moment of arrogance, the Glazer family started a money-burning war.

After them, Manchester City, with its big benefactor Mansour, did not give in at all.

The high salary brought the world's top coach Guardiola from Bayern Munich.

[-] million will bring defender Stones, and [-] million will grab young player Sane. These items alone will directly make the transfer expenditure this season exceed [-] million.

The investment of tens of millions of euros in other positions can only be said to be a waste of money. The only player worthy of attention is Gundogan.

Compared with the investment of these two teams, the investment of [-] million euros by the other four wealthy teams seems a bit shabby.

As for Leicester City?
  After signing Klose free of charge and renting young players Odegaard and Ashraf, they have also strengthened various positions in the lineup.

Don't underestimate visa exemption and leasing, thinking that it is almost free, but it is actually an investment.

Transfer fees and wages cannot be separated, and player wages are also part of the transfer budget.

The combined weekly salary of Klose, Odegaard and Achraf is definitely more than [-] euros. This is also an investment of more than [-] million, and there is no possibility of appreciation.

In other words, using [-] million to purely strengthen the combat effectiveness in the new season, there is no plan to repay the capital.

As for other positions, members of the coaching staff negotiated with Steve Walsh all night long and ultimately identified several transfer targets.

The first is the two midfielders, Endidi and Mendy. One is from Nigeria and the other is from Senegal. They are both black players and have the ability to run.

It seems that Kante's success has given Leicester City a love for this type of player.

Then, Steve Walsh strongly recommended signing Hull City's young central defender Maguire, as well as promoting the young talent Chilwell in the team's youth team.

His original words were probably like this, "Hasn't Yufeng been carrying out special training in various aspects? It happens that two young players have been loaned out this season, so we can give him another youth training of the team and let him take it with him. Let’s have some fun.”

"There is still something about the best player in the European Cup. He will definitely be able to cultivate a future champion for our Leicester City."

With his strong recommendation and running around day and night, this Leicester City lineup is slowly improving.

…………

That afternoon, while paying attention to the news about Leicester City, Chen Yufeng was also preparing to return to Leicestershire.

Pre-season training has begun, and players are returning one after another to prepare for the new season.

He could no longer stay in Bordeaux.

Thinking of the madness and sleepless nights last night, Chen Yufeng couldn't help but sigh that he was "getting stronger with age".

As for Taylor, she seemed to wake up very early today and left early before Chen Yufeng got up, leaving only a note.

"I'm back in the United States. If I have time, I will definitely go to your club to find you. Then the two of us will have a good chat."

When he saw this sentence, Chen Yufeng was not too surprised. It may be that neither of them was ready to face this situation, and it would take some time to think about it.

"If you don't think about these things, you should focus on self-improvement."

Regardless of anything else, Chen Yufeng entered the system and prepared for a new round of card drawing.

[It is detected that the host has completed the task and won the best player in the European Cup. 】

[Reward the host with an epic treasure chest. 】

[It is detected that the host has completed all combined tasks, and the host will be rewarded with a legendary treasure chest. 】

After entering the system, the prompt sounded quickly. Chen Yufeng rubbed his hands, and then chose to turn it on, "Come on, let's test the water first by opening an epic level."

I have opened it many times, but every time I open the treasure chest, it still makes Chen Yufeng feel like he is in love for the first time.

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

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining ‘Rooney’s Shocking Barb’! 】

The voice in his mind sounded, and Chen Yufeng, who felt the rapid changes in his body, was stunned, and then his eyes lit up slightly.

Overhead shot.

Rare, but handsome.

This is also a nice ability that can be very useful at certain times. When a teammate's pass is inaccurate and passes behind you, you can confidently use this move at any time to hit the ball towards the net.

In fact, this is not a skill that every striker has. Chen Yufeng has not been able to hit this kind of barb before.

Now that he has this, he can try it sometimes.

"Not bad, at least I have improved my shooting skills." Chen Yufeng sighed, and then set his sights on the final legendary treasure chest.

He couldn't help but have some expectations and speculations in his heart. What kind of skills could he acquire?
  Is it a pass or a shot, or is it a steal or interception, or something else?
  In short, it can’t be Tenghai’s press conference that reverses this strange ability, right?
  "call……"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yufeng began the final drawing of cards, "Open the legendary treasure chest."

[The legendary treasure chest is being extracted for the host, please wait. 】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining ‘Devil’s Injury Recovery’! 】

"Devil's Injury Recovery"

Chen Yufeng didn't have any other physical reaction this time. He just felt that his whole body seemed to be cooler. "Ability to reduce injuries or speed up recovery?"

A touch of excitement arose in his heart, and he was very eager for this kind of ability.

He played more than [-] games with Leicester City last season, and played seven games in the European Cup during the offseason. His body has always been in a period of exhaustion.

One thing that people who are in the fatigue period cannot avoid is injuries.

This is something that every player will encounter in his career, and it may even cause the player to leave football directly.

Chen Yufeng usually doesn't talk about it, but he must be worried in his heart.

"Please explain in detail, let me see how strong the demon's skills are." Chen Yufeng asked with a smile.

The name of the system is Devil's Contract, and now that he has recovered from the devil's injuries, he can't help but look forward to it.

[Devil's Injury Recovery: Ten times the speed of injury recovery and recuperation. Torn ligaments and knee menisci, and even injuries all over the body, can be recovered ten times the speed! 】

"Not bad." When Chen Yufeng heard this explanation, his eyes suddenly lit up and his body felt ready to move.

He even wanted to sprain his feet to see how powerful this ability was.

Of course, he definitely couldn't do this kind of thing.

"The next step is to add points." Chen Yufeng murmured and looked at his physical points again.

It had been more than a month since he had done anything, and he had already suppressed his energy.

The new season's schedule will not start until the beginning of August. These past few days have been filled with friendly matches and the International Champions Cup and other performance games. It doesn't matter if you participate or not.

Improving your own strength is the way to go!
  For him, this is the moment to reload bullets. The more bullets he accumulates, the more bullets he will be able to shoot out when he actually enters the battlefield of the main game.

"Physical fitness is at 81 points. The nearest game is next month's Community Shield championship game."

Chen Yufeng quickly made a decision and was ready to add more points to the wave again. "Then let's get to 45 first. By then, we should be able to get back to around 65, which is enough."

"Before playing in the Champions League, the higher the overall ability, the better."

This was carefully thought out and not taken lightly.

[Strength +2! Strength +2! Strength +2! 】

[Outbreak +2!Burst +2!Burst +2! 】

[Physical fitness -6! Physical fitness -6! Physical fitness-...Physical fitness-6! 】

Soon, Chen Yufeng, who had finished adding points, felt a sense of relief in his body and his face became a little weaker.

Fortunately, he was drunk last night, otherwise he might not be able to resist and add more at that time.

This will lead to a significant decline in his ability in some aspects, although after the decline, he will still be higher than the average level.

"Pay attention later."

Chen Yufeng murmured a little scared, and then couldn't help but look at his panel again.

He wanted to see what level he would be at before covering Leicester City.

[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: 82, Physical fitness: 45, Strength: 81, Coordination: 75, Comprehensive defense: 66.

Overall attributes (not average): 79
  Special skills: Legend (Devil's injury recovery, Beckham's full moon scimitar, Ronaldo's variation breakthrough), Epic (Quares's instep, Van Persie's volley, Rooney's shocking hook, Dembele's left and right balance, Manchester United Fancy compass belt, Maldini sliding tackle). 】

Since the comprehensive attribute does not include skills, you can see that it is still relatively low.

But it doesn't matter. After next season, Chen Yufeng is confident that his overall rating will be raised to about 85 points.

What is currently holding back is mainly passing and shooting, ball sense and coordination.

The first two items, since their skills are basically covered, have not been Chen Yufeng’s main improvement goals.

Maybe we won't be able to improve these two points until other abilities are improved to a similar level in the later stage.

As for ball feel and coordination, these things are actually related to dribbling and some difficult movements. Chen Yufeng doesn't pay special attention to it now.

The next plan to add points is still on strength, explosive power, and speed.

He needs to build a physical monster first, and then improve the basics.

As you get older, you will always feel insecure without a body that can support others.

Chen Yufeng hopes that one day he can become a monster like Haaland and Drogba. He can stand there and use his body to block positions, which is difficult for others to defend.

This goal must be achievable.

Now, take these attributes and skills and start the new season of Leicester City!

Everything old has passed, only honor will accompany Chen Yufeng, and a new journey sets sail!
