Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 59: News from the agent, three rejections from industry leaders (please follow up)

On October 10, the ninth round of the Premier League arrived.

Leicester City faces the challenge of Southampton at home. This is a team that has been in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League all year round. It is basically safe from relegation, but its ability to produce results is also lacking.

Leicester City, who were playing at home with great momentum, quickly took the lead through Vardy's high-speed advancement.

And before the end of the first half, Chen Yufeng sent another sharp cross from the right wing.

Oka Kirishinji desperately took off and headed the ball back from the back of the penalty area. Mahrez followed up and hit the ball with his left foot again!
Two to zero!
Leicester City is almost certain to win without a fight!

Chen Yufeng was replaced by Albrighton in the 608th minute of this game. Although no statistics were recorded, his overall performance was obvious to all.

He can now try to cut inside many times to threaten the opponent, and full-backs generally cannot take advantage when facing him.

When you improve a little more, it's not impossible to break through a wing!
In the end, as Southampton scored a goal through a corner kick in the 85th minute, the game passed in a stable manner.

Leicester City defeated their opponent [-]-[-] and achieved two consecutive victories.

The feeling of scoring three consecutive points is of course great. It gives the whole team more points and allows them to face the next game more easily.

After the game, Chen Binghua also told Chen Yufeng a new news.

"I'm officially ready to live a retirement life. Apart from helping you find people and watching football, I don't care about anything else."

Chen Binghua's energy looks very good, his whole person is full of vitality, as if he is several years younger.

He even dyed his graying hair black, which made Chen Yufeng wonder if he was going to be an older suit model.

"Okay, that's good too."

Chen Yufeng definitely had no objection to this. He clearly felt his father's emotional changes after he improved in all aspects.

This has been a lot more successful for the vow he made in his heart before the season.

Next, he will strive for all the highest honors in football.

The moment he actually gets it, this little old man will definitely be happier...

Thinking of this, Chen Yufeng raised his lips slightly, hoping that day would come soon.

"One more thing, I found several brokerage companies and prepared to let those who are more professional and have more resources to help your career."

Chen Binghua pulled out a document from the table, "Mendes, Raiola, Barnett, etc., I have recommended you."

"Let's see who can choose you and be willing to act as an agent."

"Yeah." Chen Yufeng didn't mean much to this. His father was indeed not very good at agent affairs.

It was okay to follow him in the early days, but as he gradually became the main force in the Premier League and improved rapidly in all aspects, he gradually became unable to keep up.

"Okay, let's wait for the news."

The two said nothing more. Chen Binghua went to the kitchen to prepare the latest nutritional meal, while Chen Yufeng returned to the room to watch the video.

…………

Some time later, Lisbon, Portugal.

Among the Mendes agency, the then head of the Premier League branch, Peter, was recommended by Chen Binghua.

He quickly flipped through the report card notice, and when he saw the player resume column, he couldn't help but frown.

Later, when I saw the data of this season, I slowly relaxed again.

"I told you that a player who had been on the bench for more than ten years suddenly appeared this year, would you believe it?"

Peter chatted with the assistant next to him, with a bit of ridicule in his tone.

"I don't believe it." The assistant replied quickly.

"But it's true, I don't know if I should sign this one for Mr. Mendes."

Peter smiled and looked at some report data in detail.

After seeing the age of 30 and the weekly salary of [-] euros, he still shook his head slightly.

"This kind of player basically has no potential for further development. There is almost no income from advertising endorsements and various image rights."

"I don't recommend it to Mr. Mendes. Please reply to the letter and ask him to find Raiola, the vampire. Maybe he will be interested."

"Okay." The assistant nodded slightly, turned and walked away.Peter looked at Chen Yufeng's data again, and sometimes shook his head.

Frankly speaking, it is very outrageous and bizarre to make a debut at the age of 30.

Does he think that this kind of player might really be able to rejuvenate in the future?

Or is it a more sophisticated and experienced performance?
But that is definitely not popular in the agent industry. Unless he can win a Champions League championship, it is generally not profitable to sign a player of this age.

At the age of 30, you are still wasting your time in a team like Leicester City. How can you wait to win the Champions League later?
That is obviously impossible.

…………

On the other side, the Netherlands.

Raiola also quickly received the invitation at his residence.

He just picked it up and looked at it for a while, then threw Chen Yufeng's report sheet on the table.

"I've said it many times, don't give me this kind of player, don't give me this kind of player!"

"I need young stars with potential who can play in big clubs, okay?"

"If this kind of report is given every time, why not let all the stars from all over the world ask Mendes to sign with them. I will pick up some defective products and everyone will follow me and drink the bone soup that Mendes throws. !”

Raiola looked a little angry and talked to several of his assistants for a long time.

"Do you think he is Zlatan Ibrahimovic? Is he?"

"You are 30 years old and have just made some achievements in a team like Leicester City. What potential does it have for future development?"

"Unless he wins the Premier League title with Leicester City this year, and with his Chinese identity, he may be able to get some profit later, otherwise he will have to join a team where he can at least reach the Champions League as a semi-main player!"

Raiola was still chattering: "I am very good to the players, but it is a cooperative relationship between both parties, do you understand?"

"Everyone has a profit, everyone makes money, we help each other, and harmony makes us rich."

"If you put players like this who can't make money, do you think I'm idle every day?"

The assistants not far away were trembling. This vampire was quite scary sometimes when he got angry.

Everyone is constantly reminding themselves that this kind of player report sheet must not be put on Raiola's desk in the future.

And in England, London.

In a cafe, Jonathan Barnett was discussing the latest contract with his current Manchester United player Luke Shaw.

Not long after, Barnett, who was holding his cell phone, saw a message. After reading it, he smiled lightly: "I didn't expect that he would also come to see me. Do you know Chen Yufeng?"

"I know, my performance this season seems to be okay, and I am playing well in Leicester City."

Luke Shaw plays in the Premier League, so of course he has heard of Chen Yufeng's name.

Because of this player's various experiences, he is slightly more popular than players with the same statistics.

"I also know him." Barnett smiled and said: "But I will not sign him. I will continue to operate with you as the core."

"Human energy is limited, besides..."

Barnett shook his head slightly: "He basically won't bring me any income."

"Even if this season is good, it will definitely be downhill in the future. There is still a difference between offensive players and defensive players."

"They are older. Once they don't score goals and assists, it will be difficult to make money."

"Yes, Mr. Barnett also has many players, as well as other sports." Luke Xiao nodded slightly, agreeing with Barnett's statement.

Thinking that he would meet this player in the Premier League in a while, he also looked forward to it.

He wanted to see what kind of pressure a 30-year-old veteran could bring to him?
…………

ps: There will be exciting competitions and developments soon. I hope everyone will continue to support us.

　I also like Teacher Da Fei very much. I started playing this game in S2 and watched it all the way through S3.

　　But I support wbg, he can bring me more passion and hearty feeling, because he is his own team.

　　Of course, if faker wins the championship, I will be disappointed but I will also congratulate him on his legendary career of four championships.

　　I hope Chen Yufeng can have a legendary career at this age.
