Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 115: Officially signed with Puma as an endorsement, the ever-victorious Leicester team (please vote for me)

On January 1, after offsetting his physical fatigue, Chen Yufeng once again began high-intensity physical training.

The game against Liverpool is coming soon, and he must improve his cardiopulmonary function and muscular endurance to a good level.

If they continue to lose, the team's condition will get worse.

That is definitely what he doesn't want to see. He is still thinking about winning the championship a few rounds in advance so that he can complete the task and open a skill treasure chest.

If they are in the League Cup schedule, they can reverse Manchester City and continue on.

Then maybe there is a chance for the final legendary treasure chest!

Chen Yufeng really wants to have another legendary skill.

That must be a very good improvement. It will most likely be practical, can be used frequently in multiple scenarios, and has top-notch capabilities!
The days passed like this. When there was no daily training for the team, Chen Yufeng practiced three times a day, frantically strengthening his physical reserves.

And the discussion about him personally has never stopped during this period of time.

The media were like a dog-skin plaster. Seeing that he had the possibility of digging up news, they stuck to him crazily and left him in the spotlight.

There is no doubt that Chen Yufeng's performance throughout January was not good.

After winning the Player of the Year award in December, the performance in January was relatively mediocre, especially in the second half.

How could those who had been waiting for his decline for a long time give up this opportunity?

[The decline in form, the best player in the Premier League in December, a representative of late bloomers, fell into mediocrity in the second half of January! 】

[Has the obstacle of age come?Chen Yufeng, a strong candidate for Player of the Season who has just made his debut at Leicester City, is in poor form this month. 】

[Chen Yufeng, who is alone and without teammates, is showing signs of fatigue and can no longer maintain the same expectations as before. 】

[Only one goal was scored in the second half of January. Could this be a sign of decline? 】

Many reports were published, making false claims, without giving Chen Yufeng any time to react.

As a player and a public figure, moments like this are indeed very common.

As long as the state is not good for a period of time, there will be a lot of speculation in the media.

This actually represents Chen Yufeng's current popularity in England and his attention within the Premier League.

However, those haters from other teams who don't like him will inevitably get together.

"Just like Leicester City will definitely not be able to achieve good results in the end, I once said that he just played too easily in the beginning and would not play football if someone targeted him."

"Yes, look at the last game, how passive he was against Stoke City's defense. He was completely restricted."

"I thought this player was average from the beginning. I don't know why the statistics are so good."

"The data will definitely decrease in the second half, and it will decrease significantly. It would be good to score one goal a month."

"There are also crazy Leicester City fans who say they are looking forward to his future. I can only doubt the IQ of these people. What future can he have? He is already a grown man."

"This is indeed a sign that his honeymoon period in the Premier League is over and he will fall back into mediocrity. He has been studied thoroughly."

"..."

Of course Chen Yufeng is reading these news.

It would be impossible for him not to hold his breath.

But Chen Yufeng never does any useless work. He just runs on the court silently, training day after day to improve his various abilities.

He loved this feeling of improvement, and he was obsessed with feeling like he was getting stronger every day.

Even if it’s just a little bit every day, it will still be a huge amount over time.

If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles.

Everyone knows that a drop of water can penetrate a stone.

Time moves on.

February soon entered, and everything seemed to have opened a new chapter.

New challenges and opportunities are before everyone.

2 month 1 number.

Chen Yufeng took some free time to go to London with Chen Binghua.

In Puma's British branch building, they soon met a smiling Peter.

After a brief greeting, Peter took his father and son to the office to sign the contract.

Time is very tight, the game against Liverpool is coming soon, Chen Yufeng must get everything done as soon as possible.

After carefully checking the contract and finding that there was no problem, Chen Yufeng simply signed the contract, then stood up with a smile and said, "Happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation." Peter also smiled, stretched out his hand, and then hugged Chen Binghua.

When Chen Yufeng was busy competing, he and Chen Binghua often talked on the phone to fine-tune and correct some details.

Finally, they finally reached an agreement yesterday and completed the signing today.

The various terms are relatively simple. They will use Chen Yufeng's popularity and portrait rights to help Puma improve its brand influence and all aspects.

The contract is for three years, with a total endorsement fee of 150 million euros, with an average annual fee of 50.

The key point, of course, is the bonus that was agreed upon before.

The contract is very clear, whether it is the best in a single game, the best in a month, or various detailed awards, they are all marked.

What is more important is the bonuses for some championships and individual awards.

Puma divides all bonuses into four tiers.

There are four categories in the first tier, namely the Champions League Champion, European Cup Champion, World Cup Champion, and FIFA's annual Ballon d'Or Award, with bonuses of 300 million euros each.

Don't underestimate the European Cup championship. The gold content of this event is second only to the World Cup in national team competitions.In fact, the intensity and excitement of the confrontation are sometimes even better than the World Cup.

It is placed in this grade, although it may be controversial, but it is definitely qualified.

Not to mention the Champions League championship, which represents the best team and the best players in the world that year.

The second tier is the Europa League champion, the Golden Boot and the best player in the five major leagues, Champions League, European Cup, and World Cup, with a bonus of 150 million euros.

It should be noted here that the Golden Boot and the best player in the four events are separate. As long as you win one, you can get a bonus, and if you win two, you will get two bonuses.

As for the third tier, there are the champions of the five major leagues and various cup competitions. After Chen Binghua's efforts, these bonuses were set at 50 euros.

This means that if he wins the FA Cup or League Cup in the future, Chen Yufeng will receive the 50 euros included in the terms.

Including some cup competitions with a small number of games, such as Community Shield Cup, European Super Cup, etc.

Invitational tournaments, friendly matches, etc. are not counted.

The last level contains small bonuses for some details, which are not very important and the amount is not large.

After signing the contract, Chen Yufeng took some makeup photos in Puma's building and completed some work in accordance with the cooperation requirements.

The overall progress was very fast, and it was all completed by three o'clock in the afternoon.

When the father and son were about to leave, Peter walked out to say goodbye, "Then I wish Yufeng's career will be smoother and he will get a few more bonuses."

In fact, even though each bonus is set very high, if you put this contract on any player, you may not get much.

If you really get more, it will be a win-win result for both parties. The players will become more famous, and the endorsement effect of Puma will also increase.

"Okay, I will definitely fight for it."

Chen Yufeng smiled slightly, and then embarked on the return journey with Chen Binghua.

That night, they flew to East Midlands Airport and took a taxi back to their home in Leicester.

After finishing all this, Chen Yufeng took an early rest.

For him, signing this contract indeed brought a lot of motivation.

There are three things that can reflect a player's value: honor, fame, and wealth.

This wealth does not refer to the wealth owned by the player's family, whether he was born into a prominent family, etc.

It just refers to the player's salary and endorsement fees, various commercial values, and the wealth he can create.

These three items often complement each other. Chen Yufeng hopes to become a superstar as soon as possible and embraces all three items.

This has always been his greatest pursuit.

…………

On February 2rd, the fourth round of the Premier League No. 3 is about to begin.

Near the King Power Stadium.

After lunch time, the place was already bustling with people and many fans gathered around.

"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong!"

"Beep...beep...!"

They beat gongs, drums, and trumpets, taking the lead in creating a warm atmosphere before the game.

Entering the new month, all Leicester City fans have forgotten the wasted time in the second half of last month and once again send their support to their home team in the most enthusiastic way.

"Fans scarf! Give me one!"

"Last time we played Liverpool away from home and we tied. I hope we can end with a win this time! Come on Leicester City!"

"We must bring back the previous decline! Prove to those unscrupulous British media that we are still the victorious army before!"

"Yes, the ever-victorious army! Hahaha!"

"Lester! Lester! Lester!"

"..."

They kept shouting Leicester's name and muttering the word victorious army.

Undoubtedly, this title excites every Leicester City fan.

This is something they have never felt in the top flight.

A victorious army!

Then keep winning!

Leicester City fans send their best wishes to the home team, which is a sign of their deep love for this team.

"Ohhhhhh..."

Not long after, the fans who saw the home team's bus approaching waved their hands, ran to both sides of the bus, and escorted the bus forward.

There was fanaticism on their faces, and the desire for victory deep in their eyes.

They have been hit by constant surprises for more than half a season, and now they believe in this team very much!
They still want the happy feeling they had before!

"Leicester City! Charge!"

"kill!"

Neat and loud slogans resounded throughout the entire King Power Stadium, and all Leicester City fans burst into cheers.

At this moment, the countless visiting fans from the away team who were mixed in secretly shrank their necks.

Chen Yufeng, who was sitting on the Leicester team bus, had a firm expression.
