Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 395 The turbulent world of football! Atletico Madrid players are shocked! (Ask for monthly ticket)
"First of all, I have to correct something. I am not the kind of forward who scores more than 40 points a year."

Chen Yufeng pretended to be serious, "I am 70+ or ​​even 80+, and the data from last season proves it."

Simone was stunned for a moment, then realized that Chen Yufeng was pretending to be serious and laughed.

The atmosphere between the two relaxed a lot, and everyone became more casual.

"Let's be honest, Mr. Simeone, if I join your team, what will be my role in Atletico Madrid?" Chen Yufeng asked after drinking tea.

"The absolute core, the only finisher, the same one you had at Leicester City."

Simeone's expression was very serious. He took out the tactical board and tactical pen from his briefcase, "I have to put gold on my team's face. We are a team very similar to Leicester City." team."

"Although we had no results last season, that was because we lacked a finisher like you, a super shooter with a very high conversion rate who can also create his own opportunities."

"Griezmann and Mahrez have very similar functions, and I think he has a stronger chance-creating ability than Mahrez, at least in La Liga."

"He does not conflict with your position or function, just like you do with Mahrez."

"Yes, that's it. I need you to reassure him, and call Torres if you can."

"Are you in your hometown? Are you still playing in Madrid?"

Madrid, Spain, in a luxury hotel.

As soon as he went out, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"I'm going to think about it all night."

…………

After finishing this, he talked in detail about the strengths, weaknesses, personalities of each Atletico Madrid player, and how Chen Yufeng should integrate into the team in the future.

Simeone understands that apart from being sincere and giving Chen Yufeng the greatest freedom of attack and opportunities, they really have no advantage.

After Simone finished speaking, Chen Yufeng replied.

Simone nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment and said nothing more. He said goodbye and left, as if he was afraid of disturbing Chen Yufeng's rest.

"In addition, Torres can play a containment role, and Correa and Carrasco can also create many opportunities through their personal abilities."

If everyone were the same, Chen Yufeng would choose another club or even stay in Leicester City.

“When you come here, you’ll definitely feel right at home.”

Simone put down the phone and walked, suddenly smiling.

"How are you doing lately? Do you have time to come to England? I need your help with something."

He spoke very seriously, without any hesitation or care.

"They won't take your space, they won't take away the opportunities you should have got. Atletico Madrid is a very disciplined team, you must know this. I will let them help you."

"Yeah! See you tomorrow!"

Simeone kept moving the tactical chess pieces while talking, showing many offensive methods, and also showed the ability of all other players to assist Chen Yufeng, possible scenarios, etc.

"Okay, I think we have a chance. I hope we can welcome him together next month."

"There is no need to worry about the midfield and backcourt. Atletico Madrid's defense is better than Leicester City. I have this confidence. Our defenders are star-level."

Griezmann put down his cell phone and summoned his teammates who were playing together to his room.

"We have breaking news."

He tilted his head, looked at the sky outside the window and said, "I just received a call from the boss. He asked me to ask Torres to go to England."

"Me?" Torres on the other side pointed at himself and raised his eyebrows.

"What?" Saul asked eagerly.

"What about Chen Yufeng?" Felipe turned around and said in surprise: "He can't really agree to join Atletico Madrid, can he? Really?"

In recent days, there have been some reports of transfer rumors on the Internet, and players like them will also read them.

What's more, Simeone's pursuit of Chen Yufeng is very enthusiastic, which they knew before the end of the season. They also knew that their leader had already embarked on a negotiation journey.

However, many people definitely have a distrustful attitude towards whether Chen Yufeng will choose to join Atletico Madrid.

"He's not going to Real Madrid or Bayern, but he wants to come to us?" Felipe added, and was quickly slapped on the head by Saul.

Saul was unconvinced and said: "What's wrong with us? Are we bad? After all, it can be regarded as a Spanish giant team, okay? How can there be people like you who have been staying with us and belittle us?"

"If you don't want to stay with Xia Chuang anymore, just leave."

After saying this, he turned to look at Griezmann, and after making sure that the other party was not playing a prank, he said: "So the boss asked you to go over and help negotiate?"

"Well, that's what it means. I can guess that after I pass, the boss will definitely give me some psychological training." Griezmann shrugged, seeming to have predicted the fate of these people.

Auxiliary, hands-on, green leaves as a foil.

"You're okay. You're still Mahrez. I might become Shinse Okazaki or Klose." Torres said helplessly from the sidelines.

Everyone fell into silence, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.

But other than the players on the offensive line, no one else felt uncomfortable and were excited about the news.

It's just that some people are not in a good mood, so these people haven't spoken out yet.

"A super shooter who scored 102 goals in a season, well... if he can bring us a championship..." Griezmann suddenly said, "Then I would also like to play as a full-back."

"It's just that although there are not many strong teams in La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona have a monopoly on the championship. Winning here is not easier than in the Premier League, and it is even more difficult." "The same is true for the cup."

"As a new player in an unfamiliar league, how good can Chen Yufeng be in the Premier League? And as he gets older, how much will his condition be hindered? It's all unknown."

Griezmann shook his head, "The last thing I want is that we have all made concessions and done everything to make him comfortable, but he has not performed at the level we expected."

"That would make me feel like I wasted my time and wasted my career."

His words aroused Saul's desire to express himself. The core midfielder followed Griezmann's words and said: "We shouldn't be too pessimistic. He just led Leicester City to defeat Real Madrid."

“If you create 102 goals this season, it’s definitely okay to create half of them next season, right?”

"If everyone has this mentality, then the new season that has not yet started will be canceled in advance. Players and coaches are not thinking in sync, and the team will spend money to buy discomfort..."

Griezmann suddenly leaned forward and got a little closer to everyone: "How about we make a plan early?"

"We cannot sit still and wait. We are responsible for the other 20-odd players on this team and ourselves. We cannot leave our fate in the hands of others."

He thought for a while, and then began to describe his thoughts, "Torres and I first helped the boss complete the contract, and first stayed on the same page with the boss, and looked forward to the future in his heart."

"I've had enough of the days without important championships. I definitely want to make a change."

"If, I mean if he performs a performance that impresses all of us, then we will obey him and treat it as if nothing happened!"

"But if he doesn't do it... we have to work together to knock him down. I'm afraid that if Chen Yufeng doesn't adapt to La Liga, the boss will be hesitant to give him a chance because he spends too much transfer fee."

"We have to consider the worst-case scenario and look at the overall good."

His statement was recognized by everyone.

Everyone began to discuss some details until they felt that everything was safe.

Griezmann and Torres booked a flight for noon the next day and booked a hotel in Leicester.

It’s hard to say, anything is possible before the new season starts.

…………

The next afternoon, Simeone arrived at Leicester City's training base and sat down with Vichai and Ranieri to negotiate Chen Yufeng's transfer.

The previous meeting with Chen Yufeng could only be said to be a way to talk to the players in advance.

The formal process is to negotiate the price with the club first. After both parties reach an agreement, they will then meet individually with the players to discuss the contract details.

Simeone was very quick with his troops. He was not sure what Chen Yufeng's final thoughts were, but he wanted to eliminate other variables in advance, leaving Chen Yufeng with only one point that needed more attention.
