Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 361 New epic skills! All the Champions League semi-finals are out! (Ask for monthly ticket)

Under the high-energy blue torrent, the Atletico Madrid players wearing red and white striped jerseys all lowered their heads at this moment.

A sense of dizziness filled every player's mind. Everything in front of them seemed like an illusion, a dream they never wanted to accept.

But they had to face this reality - their efforts this year were completely in vain at this moment.

It is Leicester City who has entered the semi-finals.

After their celebration, there will be little time left in the game, and it will be even harder to score another goal.

On the sidelines of the court, Simeone waved his hands and yelled at the court with saliva flying. He looked extremely anxious, "Don't give up! Don't give up! All you need is a goal!"

"Lift your heads! Lift your heads!!"

"Damn it, you weaklings, have you forgotten those reversals we had in the past?!"

"There is still time, and there is obviously still an opportunity to attack. Are you really unwilling to believe in yourself?"

"..."

"For you personally, in today's game, you scored your 17th goal in the Champions League this season, which has already tied the record set by Cristiano Ronaldo. When will the record-breaking moment come? "A reporter asked.

Next game?

The reporters at the scene cheered, some were happy for Chen Yufeng's confidence, and some were sarcastic. Their voices mixed together sounded like they were amazed.

"Hahaha……"

Morgan and Hu Te walked past Chen Yufeng at this time. The two of them kissed behind Chen Yufeng's head. Morgan put his head on Chen Yufeng's shoulder and made a face.

…………

"Does Mr. Chen Yufeng know who his opponent will be?" a reporter asked again.

"Hahaha." The reporters at the scene laughed. Chen Yufeng pushed Morgan angrily, "Are you here for an interview? Why don't you talk about the defense that almost kept a clean sheet today?"

In addition, all the substitute players, all coaching staff, and staff rushed to the inside of the stadium.

There were male Leicester fans who threw their clothes and scarves into the stadium, and there were also female Leicester fans who stood up and danced passionately.

"what."

The two of them left as if fleeing, seemingly rushing back to the locker room to pour their hearts out. Chen Yufeng faced the camera alone again and smiled.

Morgan quickly waved his hand and refused, "No, no."

After Cristiano Ronaldo set a record of 11 goals in 17 games in a single season, no one has come close to this magical feat in recent seasons.

The two Champions League games in the lower half are played at the same time.

He is very likely to break this record within 10 games, bringing his average number of goals per game in the Champions League to close to 2 goals!

"Just the next one."

It was Chen Yufeng who turned his head inertia and almost kissed Morgan... This made Chen Yufeng shudder.

Completely different are the disappointed Atletico Madrid players and fans, as well as Simeone's own body that was suddenly drained of strength, and his vision that gradually became hazy...

Breaking records is a topic that people like to talk about. It represents the historical status of players in major events.

The strong excitement made them show primitive joy, but no one would laugh at them.

His voice didn't stop until Leicester's players finished celebrating and Atletico kicked off.

On the other side, the game between Juventus and Barcelona has already started in full swing, and it is said that the stoppage time is longer than this one.

"Fuck!! The winner is us——!!!"

It can be seen that everyone is very happy.

King Power Stadium, dark horse Leicester City...

But after Chen Yufeng was born, it only took him 8 games to achieve his achievement.

Yes, Atletico Madrid didn’t have time to begin with…

Dreams shattered at this moment, becoming a stepping stone on the road to someone else's success, that's what goddammit, football is.

Step over them and become today's winner.

"Beep! Beep! Beep--!!"

Chen Yufeng smiled and waved his hand, "I have said long ago that the semi-finals are Leicester City's bottom line. I have been very determined since we came out of the group that we will compete for the final championship. Fortunately, we have lived up to expectations and Leicester City has moved forward. A big step forward."

But the three long whistles that sounded shortly afterwards shattered everything for him.

"An incredible miracle! After the restructuring of the Champions League, no team has ever been able to reach the semi-finals in the first year of the competition! What does this mean to the team?" A reporter from Leicester City quickly started Ask questions.

The Champions League single-season goal record represents the historic moments left by generations of top strikers on this most competitive stage.

In the player tunnel after the game, Chen Yufeng stood in front of reporters with a smile on his face. While responding to the pranks of his teammates behind him, he shook his head at the media to express his brief helplessness.

They surrounded Chen Yufeng and others, threw Mahrez into the sky, and passionately enjoyed the moment of victory.

"Yeah——!" The shouts of Leicester City fans rang in his ears. Simeone paced back and forth hesitantly, looking around the stadium with very confused eyes, seeing all the creatures at this moment.

Regarding this question, Chen Yufeng simply answered, "Including the number of goals scored in the knockout rounds, I will catch up."

Behind him, a group of defeated generals followed him back to the locker room.

"We deserve it, the team deserves it, everyone on the team deserves it."

Simeone let out another painful cry and gritted his teeth until his gums were sore before leaving the field.

In this last moment, Simone hoped to use this method to deceive his brain and weaken his pain.

This meeting should be over.

"Juventus?" Chen Yufeng said a name from memory.

If I remember correctly, this year’s final was a battle between Juventus and Real Madrid.

It's unlikely that they'll fail in the quarterfinals, right?

"No! It's Barcelona. They also achieved a great reversal at home and entered the semifinals with a total score of 5 to 4." Some Spanish media reminded.

The expression of this Spanish reporter was not very good. Chen Yufeng had just helped the team defeat Atletico Madrid. When predicting the top four opponents, he actually named Juventus...

Isn’t this a blatant feeling that the Spanish team is weak?

Just wait, kid... You won't always be so arrogant. Barcelona will look good on you, and Messi will crush you.

Chen Yufeng's eyes moved, "Barcelona?"

It is not difficult to accept the deviation from memory. The butterfly effect of his time traveling has changed some things, and it is normal for some results to have deviations.

But how did he help Barcelona reach the semi-finals?

Inspires Leo Messi? Or did it have some impact on Juventus, or were some minor changes made long ago that helped Barcelona complete a sharp change?

It stands to reason that Juventus should qualify anyway. The advantage they established in the first round is very good.

It's better to forget it, whoever he is, just go up and do it. Barcelona is better. He has been waiting to play against Messi... This time, he wants to defeat this player head-on in this important arena. A powerful enemy on the road to fame and hegemony.

"Oh——!" A burst of cheers sounded behind his ears again. Before Chen Yufeng could turn around, he felt a burst of cold water and foam falling from the sky.

He instinctively covered his eyes and turned around with a smile on his face, already guessing who was spraying champagne.

Apart from Mahrez, who else could do such a stupid behavior?

"Mahrez! What if the reporters only brought a change of clothes?"

Chen Yufeng turned around and saw Mahrez frantically spraying champagne in celebration, with the foam waterfall pointing directly at his head.

"Thank you everyone, the interview is over. I hope you all have a good night." He turned back and said quickly to the reporters, and then rushed to the locker room with his arm around Mahrez's shoulders.

He didn't know others, but today's Leicester City players must be able to have a good night.

Celebrating, how can you not be happy?

Half an hour later, Chen Yufeng, who was in the carnival season, came to the devil's contract while taking a bath in the shower room to receive his share of the reward.

[It was detected that the host successfully led Leicester City to the semi-finals of the Champions League, and the host was rewarded with an epic treasure chest! 】

[There is only one high-level mission left: lead Leicester City to the top four in the Premier League and ensure qualification for the Champions League. After completing the mission, the host will receive an epic skill treasure chest + a legendary skill treasure chest as rewards! 】

"It's finally stable." Chen Yufeng murmured, feeling relieved.

Whether you can get this legendary treasure chest mainly depends on whether you can enter the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Although the top four in the Premier League have not yet been determined, there is definitely no problem. There will definitely be one when the time comes.

"It can be said in advance that all the goals in the Devil's Contract this season have been completed, and everything that follows is realistic."

Chen Yufeng smiled and said, "You can look forward to the three treasure chests that have not yet been opened, because they will bring three improvements of different sizes."

Having said that, he didn't feel too much and directly chose to open the epic treasure chest he had obtained.

[The epic skill treasure chest is being drawn for the host! The host please wait patiently! 】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the epic skill: Diego Forlan’s shooting essence! 】

Diego Forlan? Uruguay's striker, the South American striker who shined in the World Cup, Forlan?

Chen Yufeng's eyes lit up. He soon felt a muscle memory coming into his brain, and his legs became more confident in shooting.

"This skill is really timely."

One can imagine Chen Yufeng's joy at gaining the ability to shoot at such a moment.

Whether he wants to admit it or not, apart from volleys, inward shots, and outside instep shots, he doesn't have a very good way of shooting.

It's not that these skills are bad, it's just that he lacks a regular and effective shooting method.

For example, when faced with one-on-one situations or similar situations, he often uses the outside of his instep to solve the problem.

This is definitely unreasonable...

But with the essence of Diego Forlan's shooting skills, it will be different. He will inherit the shooting skills of this top shooter with a keen sense of smell!

More on the regular shooting stuff!

This will raise his threat level on the field to another level and make up for his previous shortcomings!

"Diego Forlan is epic, but who are the legends, Cristiano Ronaldo, Batty, and Puskas?"

Chen Yufeng finally asked himself a question with some doubts, and then expressed his expectations, "If there is a Buddy goal in the future, it will be complete."

Thinking about it, a smile appeared on his lips.

…………

"Klose took the lead! Chen Yufeng added the icing on the cake! Mahrez scored a stunning goal! Leicester City has blossomed more and has not lost any title rights so far!" - Leicester News

As the match between Leicester City and Barcelona ended, reports from major media instantly filled the attention of fans.

At this point in the season, it is really the final battle. Their enthusiasm for watching the game is constantly increasing, and they are also investing more energy in paying attention to each team's battle report.

On this day, many fans still endured their desire to express themselves.

In addition to those fans with obvious positions who have said something for their home team, many high-profile big Vs are still waiting for the end of the game between Real Madrid and Dortmund to have a unified discussion.

The other two games are not too far apart from these two.

The next night, Dortmund played Monaco and Real Madrid played Bayern Munich at the same time.

Everyone in Leicester City also gathered at the player base to watch the two games at the same time on two big screens.

Having already reached the semi-finals, if you don't pay attention to your opponent's situation, you are either mindless or too arrogant.

"The situation is known to be like this. Monaco defeated Dortmund 2-3 in the first round. This time they returned to play at home and had a slight advantage."

Drinkwater took his mobile phone to give everyone some previews, "As for Real Madrid, they defeated Bayern 2-1 in the first round. They also returned to home this round, which is similar to Monaco's situation."

"I'm optimistic that Real Madrid will win Bayern steadily and Dortmund will reverse Monaco and enter the semi-finals." Kanter expressed his opinion on the side.

"I have a different view. I prefer that Monaco can win Dortmund, then overturn the winner of Bayern and Real Madrid, and meet us in the final."

Mahrez thought like a dream: "Hahaha, then we can look forward to winning the Champions League."

"Don't think like that. Real Madrid is getting better and better after the knockout rounds. They have a high probability of reaching the finals in the top half." Chen Yufeng reminded.

Everyone was silent for a while and watched the game carefully.

"Oh——!" Not long after, cheers rang out in the base.

Monaco scored first. The young player Mbappe used his violent impact to shake off the Dortmund defender and scored in the first 3 minutes!

The total score is 4 to 2!

The gap widens further!

"I'll just say it, I'll just say it!" Mahrez pointed at the screen, extremely excited.

This is not over yet, just over ten minutes passed, Falcao received a pass from Lemar and helped Monaco score their second goal of the game!

5 is better than 2!

Even though Dortmund is closer to the powerful team in people's minds, with this point difference, everyone in Leicester City knows that they may have to congratulate another dark horse, Monaco, in advance.

On the other side, Real Madrid's match against Bayern looked stumbling.

Lewandowski helped Bayern equalize the score in the 53rd minute of the game. The tie lasted until the 76th minute before Cristiano Ronaldo broke it.

But the good times didn't last long. Just when Real Madrid thought they could securely qualify, Ramos' own goal made the game full of suspense...

Why is it similar to the plot of our game? The expressions of the Leicester City players are not right. They feel that Real Madrid is a replica of themselves.

I just don’t know if they can get past Bayern.

In the 104th minute of overtime, Ronaldo told everyone the answer after receiving a pass from Ramos.

The president scored the winning goal like a god descending from the earth, and then performed a hat trick 5 minutes later, killing the suspense of the game!

Scored three goals!

hat trick!

This is Ronaldo!

After this goal, Bayern collapsed completely. Real Madrid midfielder Asensio added the icing on the cake, helping Real Madrid advance to the semi-finals 6-3 in two rounds!

At this time, the game on the other side was already over. Monaco also advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 6 to 3!

Monaco VS Real Madrid!

Barcelona VS Leicester City!

This will be a matchup between the top and bottom half of the top four!

"The beginning is the same, and the end is the same. Although the process was a little bumpy, it was a near miss."

Chen Yufeng sighed, "Monaco is really strong."

"What did I say?" Mahrez immediately took over the words and said with high spirits: "Is it possible that Monaco can defeat strong enemies all the way and finally join us in the final?"

Chen Yufeng shook his head helplessly, "Then give us the trophy?"

"Instead of looking forward to this, it is better to think about how to beat Barcelona. Otherwise, even if Monaco finally reaches the final, Barcelona will get a piece of the pie."

"Furthermore, there is a high probability that Monaco will not be able to beat Real Madrid. A wealthy team with a solid foundation and rich experience. They know how to face a dark horse team."

Chen Yufeng still respects teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona.

His words made Mahrez a little frustrated. The national idol from Algeria seemed like a child at the moment.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while, then left the base one after another and returned home to enjoy their day off.

…………

That night, many media people and fans also expressed their opinions and comments on the Champions League.

"The top four have come out. I am personally optimistic that Real Madrid and Barcelona will enter the final, have a battle at Tianwang Mountain, and understand the grievances of the El Clasico. Well, it is definitely not because I am Spanish." A person wearing a Spanish national team jersey people expressed their opinions.

"Leicester City has accomplished a bigger miracle this season than last season. They have really increased the excitement of supporters around the world over and over again. I personally hope they can enter the Champions League final. This will be written into the history of the club. , are all a big step to improve your foundation." said the fan with the avatar of the Third Division Legion.

"Doesn't anyone expect Leicester City's dark horse to win the championship? Just like last season, or Monaco's dark horse to win the championship?" someone joked.

"It's certainly not luck to reach this position. Both teams are very capable, but winning the championship always feels unrealistic." Someone replied.

"Look at the performance of the absolute stars, Monaco's Falcao, the young player Mbappe, Leicester City's Chen Yufeng and Mahrez, Vardy is also good. If they really show their talents, it is possible to create It’s a miracle to reach the finals.” Someone analyzed rationally.

"If these two teams meet in the finals, it will be a great story, but it will be difficult..." There were Chinese fans mixed in.

"It's been great to get here. I hope fans from both sides won't shout for refunds or refunds. After all, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment." There were also Chinese fans who came in to make fun of the situation.

"Chen Yufeng VS Messi? It looks good. If this year's football is really the year of Chen Yufeng, then I hope he beats Messi. I personally don't like this player very much. I always feel that he is a bit hypocritical." Someone said.

"Sincerity lasts a lifetime, hypocrisy is temporary. Come back in a few years and see who is the real hero." Someone replied.

"Chen Yufeng's performance, I really look forward to their performance in the 18 World Cup. Belgium itself is the favorite to win the championship, and Chen Yufeng is getting better and better." Some fans raised a new topic.

"I'm really looking forward to it. It's true that Chen Yufeng is playing well this season, but to say he can still perform like this a year later is nothing more than a dream. How old he is."

"Here we go again, the age party..."

There are always endless quarrels, and too much discussion will end up in quarrels.

There are too many different positions, like different teams, different players, have different predictions about the game and the future of the players, etc. These are all reasons for everyone to quarrel.

The fans always enjoy this, they love the confrontation.

But no matter what, there are still many voices congratulating Leicester City and Monaco.

They have indeed achieved great things this year, setting an example for small and medium-sized clubs to follow and imitate.

The crazy increase in the number of scouts in major clubs seems to confirm the saying - what is most important in the 21st century, talent! A talent like Chen Yufeng! He can change the team's destiny!
