The two of them are still in the same place.
Chapter 249 Stay for another year!
After the award ceremony, Ling Feng took the opportunity to introduce his girlfriend to his parents.
While Barbara was chatting with her parents, Mendes suddenly found Ling Feng and said he wanted to discuss something with him.
The two came to the courtyard outside the hotel. Mendes first looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and then suddenly said:
“Ling, do you know why you lost to that Belgian tonight?”
Hearing this, Ling Feng raised his eyebrows and answered directly:
“Champion.”
“Yes! But it’s more than that!”
“In addition to the championship, the club’s public relations and marketing capabilities are also closely related to whether you can win the award.”
“Your performance and strength are beyond doubt. With your age and level, I dare say that in any of the top clubs in the top five European leagues, you are regarded as the core of the team!”
“But, in a club like Leicester City, the help you can get is really too little”
Hearing this, Ling Feng also roughly understood what Mendes wanted to say to him.
“What do you mean?”
“I think it’s time for you to leave!”
“As long as you want, I can immediately find you no less than five top clubs that can participate in the Champions League and compete for the league championship this summer!”
“After the transfer, I can ensure your starting position and also allow you to get a higher salary than now!”
“Most importantly, joining these stronger clubs will bring you closer to championships and honors.”
“Coupled with the publicity and marketing methods of these clubs, not only the PFA Player of the Year, but also the Ballon d’Or is not a dream!”
Hearing Mendes say these words in a very serious and tempting tone, Ling Feng could feel that he was really thinking about himself.
Since establishing a cooperative relationship with Mendes, Ling Feng is very clear that this man who wears headphones in one ear and makes calls for almost eighteen hours a day is a very pragmatic person.
Although this Portuguese man will also draw cakes like other agents.
However, what makes him better than other agents is that he basically delivers cakes to his clients!
Facing Mendes’s sharp eyes, Ling Feng smiled, “Jorge, has a club already contacted you?”
“Haha, you are indeed a very smart guy!”
After a pause, Mendes shrugged and smiled: “No way, who makes you so outstanding!”
Raising the mobile phone in his hand, Mendes said with a little pride:
“Just now, Mr. Nasser, the chairman of Paris Saint-Germain, called me. He said that Paris is very eager to get you!”
This sentence revealed several pieces of information:
First, Paris wants him.
This did not surprise him.
With his current age and strength, there is no club in Europe that does not want him.
Moreover, it is now close to the end of the season, and every club has almost begun to prepare for the busy summer window.
After all, observing players is not a matter of a short time.
Many clubs’ transfer and recruitment work even starts a year or two in advance.
Because, in order to get detailed player information and reports, especially injury risks and stability, many clubs will observe a player’s performance for a long time.
At least half a season.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the club has begun to call major agents to inquire about the player’s transfer intention.
Secondly, it is the person who called Mendes.
Who is Nasser?
You know, since Qatar Sports Investments acquired Paris Saint-Germain in 2011, Nasser, a good friend of Qatar’s current King Tamim, has been the spokesperson of the Qatari consortium in football.
As the former tennis sparring partner and friend of the current king, Nasser can be called “Qatar Gao Qiu”
This big man who was rated as the third most powerful in Qatar by Forbes has absolute power over the entire Paris Saint-Germain!
And Mendes’ ability to talk to such a club bigwig is enough to prove his status in the football world!
Of course, this is also one of the reasons why Ling Feng chose him as his agent.
Just focus on playing well on the field. Mendes has enough connections and energy to help him with the rest!
However, the attention from the French Ligue 1 powerhouse Paris did not make Ling Feng feel excited at all.
Or excited.
Since the Qatari consortium took over Paris in 2011, backed by the oil giant, Paris has made big signings in recent years.
The team’s strength is much different from the past.
Now the team has stars such as Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Verratti, Pastore, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, etc., and is the undisputed overlord of Ligue 1.
Once Ling Feng transfers to Paris, the Ligue 1 championship is basically in the bag.
But, Ligue 1?
Even dogs don’t go!
Of course, although he thought so in his heart, Ling Feng asked calmly:
“Oh, how did you answer him?”
Hearing this, Mendes just smiled mysteriously, and then continued:
“Not only Paris Saint-Germain wants you, but many clubs have called me these days, including Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Manchester City.”
“Of course, I will not negotiate with the club before getting your permission.”
“Or do you have any favorite or dream club to join?”
In Mendes’ view, after the confrontation with the major Premier League giants, Ling Feng should be able to personally feel the huge gap between small clubs and giant clubs.
Therefore, going to a bigger team and being with stronger teammates is his wise choice!
However, Ling Feng’s next answer was somewhat unexpected to him:
“Jorge, I plan to stay for another year!”
Facing Ling Feng’s serious expression, Mendes frowned, and then thought of something, and said in a deep voice:
“You don’t want to lead Leicester City to challenge the Premier League championship, do you?”
“If that’s the case, I can tell you that it’s impossible!”
“Even if there are players like you, a small club like Leicester City with no money can’t break the monopoly of the Premier League championship group!”
“At least it won’t be possible in a few years!”
After a pause, Mendes began to explain:
“As a newly promoted team, your performance this season is too eye-catching, which will definitely attract the covetousness of other clubs. Not only you, but also Mahrez, Vardy and others may be poached by other clubs.”
“Even if Leicester City can retain the current lineup, if you do not make targeted and effective signings, with your current player strength and thickness, you will never be able to impact the Premier League championship!”
“You know, Manchester City spent several years and hundreds of millions of pounds to get the Premier League championship that they dream of!”
“Can Leicester City do it?”
Mendes’ analysis is very professional.
If Ling Feng now tells Mendes or others that Leicester City has a chance to compete next season and even win the Premier League championship.
Perhaps except for his parents and girlfriend, everyone will think he is crazy!
However, the Blue Fox miracle is called a miracle because it is something that would never happen!
And after this world has itself, the possibility of the Blue Fox creating miracles has become even greater!
Ling Feng’s goal is very clear. Next season, he will help the Foxes win the Premier League championship that belongs to them, and then see if he can win another cup championship, and finally leave with the blessings and applause of the Foxes fans!
However, Mendes has no idea what Ling Feng is thinking.
He thought Ling Feng was just reluctant to leave this city and this club.
“So, for your further development, I will suggest that you transfer this summer and go to a bigger stage!”
Ling Feng did not continue to explain, but said directly:
“Jorge, what you said makes sense, and I agree with your idea. However, this is what I owe Leicester City. I can’t just leave like this!”
Raising a finger, Ling Feng said seriously:
“One year!”
“I’ll stay for another year!”
“I can make an appointment with you. No matter what the result is next year, I will transfer and leave!”
Feeling the firmness in Ling Feng’s tone, Mendes also knew very well that the young man in front of him was very opinionated.
Once a decision is made, it will not be changed!
So, he did not continue to persuade, but nodded, “Okay, I understand.”
. . .
The next day, all major media reported the PFA awards ceremony in detail.
And Hazard’s victory over Ling Feng and winning the PFA Player of the Year became the biggest hot topic!
In addition to the Foxes fans who originally supported Ling Feng, many other teams or English fans were standing up for Ling Feng.
In the eyes of these people, according to the performance on the field and
Personal data, Ling Feng, who broke the Premier League single-season assist record, is obviously more worthy of the PFA Player of the Year award.
However, Chelsea and Hazard fans think that the championship is one of the most important criteria for the award selection.
There is a difference between having a championship and not having a championship!
Fans of both sides with different opinions are arguing fiercely on the Internet.
And many football columnists have expressed their opinions and analyzed the various reasons why Ling Feng lost to Hazard.
While the online debate was endless, the English Football Writers’ Association also announced the winner of this year’s FWA Footballer of the Year:
The English Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year (hereinafter referred to as “England FWA Footballer of the Year”) was founded in 1948. It is an award selected by the English Football Writers’ Association to commend “players who have made outstanding contributions to football on and off the court”. It is also one of the earliest selections of the same type in the world.
Compared with the PFA award voters who are Premier League players, coaches and referees, the FWA voters are football reporters from major media.
In the selection of this award, Ling Feng, who was the most popular among the media, won 60% of the votes of reporters, thus defeating Hazard and winning the 2014-15 England FWA Footballer of the Year!
Although this award is not as authoritative as the PFA.
However, it is also an honor.
This is also a good consolation prize for Ling Feng, who just lost to Hazard in the PFA Best Player Award.
After completing the three achievements of [PFA Young Player of the Year], [PFA Team of the Year], and [England FWA Footballer of the Year], Ling Feng suddenly received six free attribute points.
Two attribute points were added to [Physique] and [Endurance], bringing these two attributes to 90!
And [Physique] and [Endurance] have become the ninth and tenth attributes with a value of 90 after [Short Pass], [Long Pass], [Cross], [Vision], [Volley], [Explosion], and [Speed] among all his attributes!
Another solid step forward from reaching 90 for all attributes!
As for the remaining two free attribute points, Ling Feng added them to [Ball Protection].
As a core player who is often closely guarded, keeping the ball firmly under his feet is his most basic duty on the field!
After the PFA awards ceremony, Ling Feng also invited his girlfriend Barbara home for dinner for the first time and formally introduced her to his parents.
Ling Feng’s parents are very satisfied with their son’s beautiful and gentle supermodel girlfriend.
Of course, most parents in Europe and the United States don’t care much about their children’s emotional life.
After bidding farewell to Barbara, Ling Feng once again plunged into the “two-point one-line” life of commuting between the team base and home every day.
There are not many games left in the 14-15 Premier League schedule.
On the last day of April, Leicester City welcomed the make-up match with Chelsea at home.
There are only four rounds left in the league.
Chelsea, who has one round less, is still ten points ahead of second-placed Manchester City!
In other words, they only need to win one of the remaining five games to ensure the championship!
This season is a happy one for the Blues fans.
Under the leadership of Mourinho, who returned to the club for the second time, they are about to win the league championship after a four-year absence!
Coupled with the League Cup championship won in March, Chelsea is about to become a double champion!
Considering that this game is an away game, and the team’s championship situation is already very clear, Mourinho chose to rotate the lineup, allowing some players with less playing time to get the opportunity to start.
The first confrontation between the two sides was at the beginning of the season at the end of August last year.
It has been eight months since then!
What Mourinho and the Blues players never expected was that Leicester City, a newly promoted team, not only successfully retained its position early despite many pessimism at the beginning of the season, but also defeated various giants along the way and entered the top six of the league.
By watching the video and highlights of Leicester City’s last five games, Mourinho gradually understood why Leicester City could achieve such good results.
As for the huge change of Ling Feng, both Mourinho and the Blues players who played against him were extremely surprised!
There was only one thought in their hearts:
When did he become so strong?
