Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 326 Everyone lined up to welcome the new Golden Ball winner! This is not the end! (Ask for monthly ticket)

Public opinion was overwhelming, and Chen Yufeng was overwhelmed.

He simply stopped looking at it. Time was always moving forward. He followed the passage of time and launched an attack on the new goal.

Look back in the future and feel the fanaticism and passion of the current fans.

The next day, December 12, the 14th round of the Premier League started as scheduled.

This is a game where Leicester City is away from home to challenge Bournemouth.

Bournemouth are in pretty good shape this season. Under the leadership of Eddie Howe, they escaped from the relegation zone early and once launched an impact towards the mid-table area.

However, due to the increase in injuries, they have not played well in recent rounds of the league. The players lack opportunities to rotate, and everyone is as tired as if they are fighting on multiple fronts.

In this game, Chen Yufeng received the news early that he would not get a chance to play.

As the new Ballon d'Or winner, he will get a game's rest until the next game arrives, and then make his first show since winning the Ballon d'Or.

Chen Yufeng was happy to hear about this matter.

Because no matter what, he is the protagonist today.

Before the game, Dean Court Stadium was bustling with people. Countless people came to the stadium specifically today to witness the Golden Ball trophy that had not been in the Premier League for many years.

Players from Leicester City and Bournemouth also lined up on both sides to welcome the new Ballon d'Or winner.

"Bah bang bang..." Applause continued, enveloped in the cheers of the fans in the audience, Chen Yufeng walked out of the players' tunnel with a smile.

Since there is no game, the weather has cooled down in the UK and he is wearing casual clothes today.

This is a somewhat thick cotton-padded jacket. On the one hand, Chen Yufeng hopes to appear more approachable and more approachable in front of the camera.

Wearing a suit all day is quite tiring.

"Chen Yufeng! Chen Yufeng! Chen Yufeng...!"

Chen Yufeng's name rang out at the scene, and the Bournemouth fans joined the shouting camp. Today, they showed their self-cultivation.

Surrounded by flowers and applause, Chen Yufeng walked to the court line with a smile, picked up the trophy and raised it high above his head, showing off the golden ball to the fans.

This is the trophy that every player dreams of!

Now, it's back to the Premier League!

The winner is the player who has accomplished countless miracles, Chen Yufeng!

"I'm starting to like him now, really." A Bournemouth fan sighed with a smile.

"If you want to talk about the team's background and experience, I think Bournemouth is similar to Leicester City. This shows that we can also expect that a player like Chen Yufeng will appear in the team in the future?" Cleverness discovers blind spots.

"Yes, we can also look forward to Bournemouth winning the double crown with someone like Chen Yufeng in the team." Mr. Wolong echoed beside him.

"Hahaha, yes, hurry up and urge Bournemouth's scouting organization and head coach, and more importantly, urge the team owners to make them devote themselves to discovering players." Mr. Fengchu also appeared.

Off the pitch, Bournemouth coach Eddie Howe stood with Ranieri, laughing and applauding together.

The two are considered one old and the other young. Eddie Howe is considered a relatively young coach in today's football world and is very talented.

"What needs to be done to control a big-name player like Chen Yufeng?"

Eddie Howe looked forward to it. He hoped that he could also coach players like Chen Yufeng in his coaching career. "Can you teach me?"

"Do nothing and let it grow wild."

Ranieri smiled and said: "Try to do what you should do, and then wait for him to lead the team forward."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Eddie Howe stood up and laughed loudly, then said: "To tell you a joke, recently, there seems to be a craze in the entire European football world, a craze that makes anyone who hears it feel outrageous."

"What?" Ranieri turned his head curiously.

"A simple summary can be said to be, looking for the next Chen Yufeng."

Eddie Howe spread his hands and said: "I heard that recently, older players around thirty years old, especially free agents, have become the pursuit of many teams, especially those of non-rich teams."

Ranieri suddenly laughed, and Eddie Howe continued to add: "This is completely a kind of behavior that makes people feel mentally ill. I just started to wonder if some unscrupulous media made a mistake by reporting it. "

“But I later found out it wasn’t and joined them.”

Eddie Howe had a smirk on his face, "After all, judging from Chen Yufeng's legendary experience, anyone can become a superstar, no matter how old he is or whether he has played football before."

"It's like catching a blind box. You know there's a high probability that it's impossible, but you also feel that there might be a surprise. It would be bad if another team took advantage of it."

The two laughed again and seemed to be in a good mood.

The game started not long after, and Chen Yufeng sat in the stands and watched the performance of his teammates with ease.

For the fans sitting next to him, the game is undoubtedly no longer important. They have only one goal in this game, to say a few words and chat with Chen Yufeng.

It would be great if I could get an autograph.

"Yu Feng! Look back, over here! My wife is very beautiful!"

Chen Yufeng turned his head with a question mark on his face.

"Hahahaha...over here! My mom is pretty good too!"

"Ah?" Chen Yufeng was even more surprised. These fans are really unscrupulous.

"Can you sign it? I have a kid who really likes you."

"Can I take a photo?"

"Chen Yufeng! Will Leicester City win this Champions League trophy?"

"Are you confident of winning the Triple Crown? Hahaha."

"Come on, although it is very difficult, but I believe you will win another championship, even one!"

"..."

Later, when the fans' shouting became normal, Chen Yufeng turned his head very gently and completed a series of activities such as signing autographs for them.

He was in a good mood after winning the Ballon d'Or.

It's also good to get in close contact with the fan base. After all, this is the group of people who have always supported football.

Although, he was sitting in the Bournemouth fan section...

Not long after, Bournemouth scored from a corner kick, and the Bournemouth fans at the scene immediately clapped and cheered, falling into a frenzy.

Chen Yufeng had just signed autographs for the fans. After hearing the cheers, he turned around and saw Ake celebrating.

He spread his hands, feeling helpless.

"Yu Feng! I haven't finished signing yet!"

A fan from behind suddenly shouted anxiously: "I know you are in pain now, but don't be in pain first!"

"Where am I in pain?" Chen Yufeng turned his head again with questions.

This made the fans at the scene burst into laughter again. Everyone seemed to like this very friendly player.

Finally, at the last moment of the game, Klose scored the equalizing goal for Leicester City. The two sides drew one to one, each scoring one point.

…………

That night, Chen Yufeng returned to Leicestershire and received an invitation from Philip to go to a football-themed bar.

Yes, that's the place Phillip was bragging about before.

"I have to show this group of people how good your relationship with me is. They think I'm a bastard!"

Phillip looked dissatisfied. He deliberately didn't tell the news about Chen Yufeng's arrival today just so that he could see the shock on those people's faces later and feel proud. "I'll go in first, and you can come in later."

Phillip's walking posture became more arrogant, "Follow my plan and don't break this feeling of surprise."

"Is this a meeting with the fans? I feel like we are raiding a strategic location."

Chen Yufeng smiled and said: "Why do you still have a battle plan?"

"You don't understand." Phillip waved his hand and pointed to the phone: "Wait for my call."

After that, he walked into the bar, sat on the bar and ordered a glass of cold beer.

"My old friend, why don't you brag today?"

Someone quickly saw him, came up and said with a smile: "Is there no story to tell?"

"How is it? Has Chen Yufeng met you recently?"

"Hahahaha." A Leicester City fan behind him laughed: "Maybe after Yufeng wins the Ballon d'Or, he won't be needed anymore."

"Oh...!" Someone suddenly made a regretful expression: "Our Philip, who is the world's top well-known expert, will he be abandoned one day?"

"Don't blame him." Someone agreed with a smile; "It's just that Chen Yufeng is too good."

"It's okay, Philip. There's nothing wrong with drinking with us. After you leave Chen Yufeng, you can have a good drink with us every day." An old fan pretended to pat him on the shoulder.

Phillip listened more and more excitedly, and finally a smile appeared on his face when he heard it, "You old guys, you are openly mocking me."

"Believe it or not, I can do a magic trick for everyone and make Chen Yufeng appear here immediately."

"Better say goodbye." The fans immediately waved their hands and refused.

"Hahaha, goodbye, we don't want to watch." Everyone waved their hands together, with a bit of disgust and a sense of righteousness on their faces.

It was as if Philip was bragging. They heard it and suppressed the further development of the matter, saving Philip some face.

Phillip spread his hands and had no choice but to make a call.

"Creak." The door opened at the door of the bar, and Chen Yufeng appeared helplessly.

Well, he doesn't like playing tricks like this.

But in order to express his apology to Mr. Philip and to compensate for his mental loss, he had better express it.

As Chen Yufeng appeared at the door of the bar, several people sitting facing the bar were stunned. Some were still holding beers, but they could not feel the pain in their arms at all, as if they had seen some incredible scene.

"Am I drunk?" Some fans shook their heads.

Seeing their reactions, everyone immediately turned around with a smile. There was nothing wrong with them at first, but the moment they turned around, they suddenly turned their heads again.

"Waltfak...!"

"Am I dazzled? Wind?!"

"Oh Maiga's...Fake!"

"is this real?"

Philip, who was sitting near the bar counter, saw this scene and immediately raised his head proudly with a complacent expression.

…………

At night, when Chen Yufeng returned home, he also received a call from Taylor.

Taylor expressed his blessings to him and told him that he would definitely pay attention to his subsequent games, whether it is the Premier League or the Champions League, and will watch every game without missing a beat.

The constant concern from this confidante who was working in a foreign country really made Chen Yufeng feel less lonely.

He had not thought about the relationship between the two, and had no further plans.

After thinking about the schedule for the next day, Chen Yufeng felt a headache. After he became more famous, he received invitations from various media and newspapers, and countless programs offered him olive branches, hoping that he could go.

For the sake of his influence, he still took two.

Tomorrow morning, he will appear on the latest BBC program on time, attending this program that often comments on him, and meeting that old acquaintance, Lineker, whom he has never met before.

In the afternoon, he will accept an exclusive interview with The Guardian to talk about his thoughts on the Golden Globe Award and how difficult the journey has been.

In the evening, he will also appear at Puma's administrative building to shoot a new promotional video and receive the Golden Globe bonus.

It’s quite a busy schedule.

However, such days are quite fulfilling.

At least he has been working hard for his career in his favorite industry and reaching higher heights.

He will definitely not forget the goal.

After this period of schedule is over, he will return to the Premier League.

He knows that winning the Golden Globe Award means more eyes and more attention, including fans and anti-fans.

He must maintain his excellent condition and avoid Waterloo.

Chen Yufeng knows very well how many people are looking forward to his goal drought and his failure.

"Christmas is coming soon……"

Chen Yufeng looked at the date and saw that it was getting closer to the local New Year.

After playing against Stoke City on the 17th, they will have a short holiday until the Boxing Day game on Christmas Eve.

There are a total of three games left in December, and after that, they will enter the New Year.

In January, the FA Cup will be added to their schedule, and they will play up in the third round to compete for the final championship.

Judging from what Mr. Ranieri means, Leicester City does not intend to give up on this cup competition.

In any case, it is still too difficult to win the Champions League and Premier League. Leicester City will have a main battlefield, and they need a battlefield with a high probability of winning.

"In the third-line battle, keep working hard and hope that we will achieve good results in the end."

Chen Yufeng murmured, and while the pressure doubled, his motivation became more abundant.

He hopes that the team will have a better record this season. Sometimes, success depends on whether you dare to think and take action.

This is all up to you, and it is useless for anyone to emphasize or encourage you.

At least for now, Leicester City's players still have a strong desire to fight.

…………

The next night, after finishing a stressful day, Chen Yufeng lay on the bed exhausted.

Due to time constraints, he did not return to Leicestershire, but chose to stay in London for one night.

Looking at the busy traffic on Tower Bridge in London, and thinking about the tired eyes of those people in the car rushing to different futures, Chen Yufeng was also deeply touched.

Everyone living in this world has his own pursuits and goals.

And most people are destined to miss many things, because of fate or luck?

Chen Yufeng didn't know, he only knew that he now had the best opportunity to achieve a great cause and become immortal.

"Take heart and fight for the championship!"

To do it, you must build a dynasty and become the creator of brilliant miracles in people's hearts.

Ballon d'Or?

He will still get it.
