Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 403 Conquer teammates and coaches! News about the European Golden Boot and Golden Foot Lifetime Achievement Awards! (6k)

"Beep!"

The game continued quickly, and the Atletico players on the field returned to their positions and started a new round of fighting seriously.

A score of two to one was definitely not enough, they wanted more.

Otherwise, most people will wait to be severely criticized by Simeone after the game...

As for Chen Yufeng?
Chen Yufeng must be fine. He just transferred here, and with his first performance in the warm-up match, he led the world by a huge margin. He will definitely be able to get the gold medal without death for a long time.

As long as he continues to behave like this, every 'Simone anger' in the future will not befall him.

For this kind of player, everyone must respect and be tolerant.

"Bang bang bang..." The sound of passes continued to sound, and the Toluca Sports players had some caution and fear on their faces.

You know, they just plucked up the courage and planned to use Super Giant Chen to test their defense.

Griezmann, Koke, Torres, who else?
Saul?
Griezmann and Koke are better, but Torres's condition has indeed declined seriously in recent years, and his speed is far from as fast as before. He probably can't keep up. This is the main reason why he transformed into a center.

From Chen Yufeng's perspective, this is a very advanced tactic.

"Oh!"

Chen Yufeng has long said that this is slightly similar to Leicester City.

What they think is indeed correct. No one can hit this kind of shot in every game, and no one can hit it after just a few attempts.

But at that moment, all confidence disappeared in an instant.

They need to improve their tactics, invest more troops in the attack, and increase their threat.

What's wrong with a few more kicks?
His shooting is so good, if he doesn't hit more, it will be in vain.

"Bang!" Chen Yufeng was very excited after completing another header challenge on the field. He was still looking for opportunities to try to shoot.

"No, no, there is definitely a certain amount of luck in this ball. He can't hit this kind of ball every time." A Toluca player comforted himself in this way.

Warm-up match The warm-up match is mainly about warming up and trying to feel your own condition.

At this time, Atletico Madrid used this tactic, but it actually contained an element of helplessness.

In comparison, Leicester City's may be simpler and more efficient. The offensive team in the frontcourt can work in groups to complete the offensive tasks.

What about when attacking?

After the football passed Saul's feet, it came directly into Chen Yufeng's control.

As soon as the chest stops, the thigh hooks back, then immediately volleys, and then explodes into the goal? !
Why is it so easy?
Their defense is useless. Isn't there a goalkeeper standing in front of the goal?

Before catching the ball, Chen Yufeng, who noticed that Griezmann had already penetrated behind, did not take advantage of it. After leaning on the opponent's defender with his body, he hit Griezmann with a highly concealed pass to the ground.

Coming to Atletico Madrid and wearing this red and white striped clothes, he will naturally help Atletico Madrid solve this problem!
Let them become the real dream team in Simeone's fantasy!
In the 74th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid's third goal came.

"Actually, it's pretty good." Chen Yufeng had this feeling when he heard this tactic for the first time, and even more so when he was on the court.

First determine the total defense, and then determine the total attack tactics, and this is how it came out.

Although the tactic of total offense and defense was proposed very early, it has never been outdated and has been improved until Postkoglu came to Tottenham Hotspur and was still used.

They were united and vowed to use the iron-blooded cohesion of a pack of wolves and the concentration of an eagle to win the first twenty minutes after Chen Yufeng came on the court.

Atletico Madrid's overall style is tough, fast and concise.

And once Torres, the explosive point in the original plan, is missing, Atletico Madrid's firepower is not enough.

But that was something that was rare, not to mention that he was also on the team at the time, and he took on most of the responsibilities.

Players only play good football in the first 70 minutes, and when their physical energy is exhausted in the next 20 minutes, it is also a high-risk period when they continuously lose the ball and lose the whole game.

They blocked the long pass from the Mexican midfielder at the full-back position and then launched a quick attack.

What are the counterattack points?

If there is a problem in even one link, the whole game may be lost.

In their imagination, if they can defend for twenty minutes, they can be considered to be at an excellent level.

But if you feel it carefully, there are obvious differences between the two teams.

It is not ruled out that they will launch an efficient counterattack and complete the goal. But most of the time, they will continuously increase the number of attackers in positional battles, and eventually everyone will overwhelm them.

Atletico Madrid is slightly more partial to total offense and total defense. The same number of people are invested in offense as in defense. Many players press up when attacking and retreat to their own penalty area when defending.

Of course, he also plays according to Atletico Madrid's rhythm and tries to get in touch with this team as quickly as possible.

There is no need to be afraid when facing forwards from the Mexican League in the new season.

This is a very desperate tactic, which requires every player to have extremely high tactical literacy and abundant physical fitness.

"Good ball!" Griezmann's eyes lit up. He didn't know whether Chen Yufeng had the basic ability to pass the ball through the defense, but no matter what, the ball was passed.

Unless, his shooting level is unique in the history of football...

This is not an exception, even Torres has to assume defensive responsibilities without exception, and Griezmann also has to retreat a little bit.

First of all, this is a team that pays attention to defense. When defending, everyone is deeply positioned to block the space.

They just have fewer explosions, which may be one of the reasons why Simeone pursues him with all his strength.

"Bang!" The instep of his left foot hit the bottom of the football, and the goalkeeper sent the ball steadily into the net.

Three to one!

Atletico Madrid is back in form!
They have found the feeling when a strong team beats a weak team, and they have it!

"Beautifully passed on!"

Griezmann's recognition of Chen Yufeng has reached its peak at this moment, and he knows who brought him this comfortable feeling at this moment.

"You're running very well too." Chen Yufeng came up and gave Griezmann a high-five. This was his first successful collaboration with another core member of the team.

The relationship between the two has also become closer through this cooperation.

This is a very strange thing. After coming to the team, the two of them didn't talk much, and they haven't been very familiar with each other. Maybe it's because there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

This is a feeling of indifference that both of them understand but are unwilling to break.

However, the players' thoughts and feelings are actually very simple.

It is possible for enemies to resolve their feuds after a perfect collaboration and laugh and celebrate together. What about two people who have no grudges in the first place?

Chen Yufeng's world wave just now has initially conquered Griezmann's heart. This assist made the proud French rooster lower his head, retract his claws and teeth, and reveal his gentle side from the heart.

He gradually placed Chen Yufeng in the position of the only true core, and had a bit of an urge to 'follow him'!

"Atletico Madrid's future victory depends on you. I sincerely hope we can have a happy and perfect season." Griezmann smiled and hugged Chen Yufeng.

He decided that if Chen Yufeng could still perform well in a higher-level warm-up match like the Audi Cup, he would be willing to take a shot.

"Definitely." Chen Yufeng patted Griezmann on the shoulder.

The game quickly resumed.

In the penultimate minute before the end of the warm-up match, Chen Yufeng, who was already a little exhausted, received Griezmann's cross pass at the front of the penalty area. He glanced at the position of the goal and tried his best to keep up.

"Bang!!"

Aiming at the far corner of the goal, Chen Yufeng raised his left arm, turned his body sideways, straightened his right foot down and pulled it out gracefully. The moment he touched the ball, his body turned sharply, causing his waist to explode with great force. strength.

Everyone who saw this shot can guarantee that they have never seen anyone kick with such force with the outside instep.

Neither can Carlos!

Most of the outside insteps are curved balls. Curved balls are won by tricky angles and arcs, and the strength is only secondary.

As powerful as Carlos's shocking instep and peak speed, it is difficult to get into the top of the violent volley list. It is just because he is too handsome and is out of the circle, so he is well known by everyone and is included in major lists.

A straight instep has a natural advantage in exerting force.

But Chen Yufeng’s feet are different!
At this moment, he seemed to be an old scholar who had painstakingly cultivated the outer instep and finally found the key point of exerting force on the outer instep and gained enlightenment.

A cloud of dust and grass clippings rose up from the starting position, and the football was so fast that it seemed to be blasted out with the instep of a volley, bypassing the bodies of two Toluca defensive players and rolling into the goal!
"Whoa!" It wasn't until the football touched the net that the two Toluca players who were bypassed felt the wind and the goalkeeper reacted.

too fast!
The football has a curvature, but it cannot be detected by the naked eye. It is more like a ball that was directly adjusted by a mechanical ball machine.

No one saw how Chen Yufeng hit this curve ball. They only knew that his way of hitting the goal must be the correct answer to hitting the goal with the outside of the instep!

"Oh, Farke!" Griezmann spoke English anxiously, not because of anything else, but that Farke is really easy to control his emotions.

"How should I describe this shot?" Torres also turned his head to look at Chen Yufeng with his pupils slightly narrowed.

"Can a human play this? Why is football so... simple under his feet?"

Kirk, who was standing just behind Chen Yufeng, also hugged his head and jumped a little, "Yes, this is a simple feeling. He always seems to be able to do difficult things easily."

"Oh..." Under the cheers of the fans at the scene, Chen Yufeng once again rushed to the sidelines and knelt down to celebrate.

He has completely regarded this place as his own stage and everyone in the venue as his audience.

Four to one!

A score that is not a shame!

Got it!
"Beep! Beep! Beep--!" As the referee blew the whistle to end the game shortly after, Chen Yufeng left the field with a smile, shaking hands with every teammate and coach in celebration like a general returning from victory.

"Good shot, good shot."

"It's so exciting. Come back and teach me."

"Hahaha, I don't think your price is too expensive." "It really saved our lives. It's so powerful."

"I hope you can steal Melo's Golden Boot award in La Liga, hahaha, I want to see someone break the monopoly."

"Then why doesn't Atletico Madrid break the monopoly, eh?"

Along the way, the teammates were chattering away, and everyone was very happy.

They all have a strong sense of belonging to this club, so they are very happy to see players like Chen Yufeng come over.

If before today, they still had some doubts about Chen Yufeng, their doubts are undoubtedly much reduced now.

Just look at the Audi Cup!
Let's see if Chen Yufeng can integrate into Atletico Madrid's system when facing a strong team!

If they could, they would really hug each other.

It's like, you are an ordinary person, and then someone else comes forward and says that he will definitely be able to make you money, and he can really make money.

Then will you follow him or hug his thigh?

Isn't this godfather?

Foster father!

If this kind of thing happens in reality, it is most likely false. This person wants to make money from you.

But when it happens in the football world, it's certainly true.

Because we are all stars, everyone has the ability to judge, and people can tell at a glance whether something is going to work or not.

When it was Simeone's turn to shake hands and hug Chen Yufeng, anyone could see the joy on the Argentine coach's face. His eyes were even a little red: "It was a good game. Now I finally know what Ranieri said." What do you mean?"

"It doesn't matter, you can have a deeper understanding in the future." Chen Yufeng thought this mentally, but on the surface he said: "How about I try it in the main competition."

"How humble." Simeone smiled, and then his expression slowly became serious, "With you, we are really going to be ready to compete for the championship."

"Do you have this confidence? Haha."

"I'm not being modest about this." Chen Yufeng leaned back and spread his hands: "There is only one thing I have always wanted to know, whether Mr. Simeone is a conservative or a radical."

"If we are radical, we can aim at winning both La Liga and the Champions League in the new season."

"If it is a conservative, then we can dialectically look at the radicals' ideas, and finally decide that their ideas are too conservative, and they should add the King's Cup."

Simeone did not understand what Chen Yufeng meant at first. After reacting for a moment, he raised his head and laughed as if he was hit in the laughter hole.

Yucasta stood behind the two of them, clearly heard their conversation, and laughed along with them.

She kept looking at Chen Yufeng's back, and she really felt that this thirty-two-year-old player who had just debuted for two years was not joking.

In the past two years, he has accumulated too many honors and obtained too many things. At the same time, he has also gained a halo that no one has ever had.

That is the aura of miracles, the aura of absolute personal heroism.

"Yufeng, someone is looking for you over there." Saul came to Chen Yufeng's side and patted Chen Yufeng's shoulder.

Chen Yufeng turned around and saw a bunch of reporters waiting for him in front of the interview board.

"Do I get the best player in the warm-up match? It's like rain and dew." He walked over, received a commemorative crystal cup surrounded by reporters, and then accepted their interview.

Generally speaking, it is still some basic issues, but there are also some points that Chen Yufeng is interested in.

Through the words of Mexican reporters, he learned two expectations of the outside world.

One is the upcoming European Golden Boot, and the other is the Golden Foot, which is awarded randomly between August and October.

These two awards are important awards in football and have high gold content.

Chen Yufeng has never won the European Golden Boot. He has been looking forward to winning this award, which symbolizes a super marksman, to reward himself for scoring so many goals this year.

As for the Golden Foot Award, let alone that.

This is a lifetime achievement award sponsored by the Monaco royal family and organized by the Monte Carlo World Champions Club.

Is it the equivalent of football's Oscar for lifetime achievement?
At this time, this award is only awarded to athletes over 30 years old who have made major achievements.

Chen Yufeng is undoubtedly the person who best fits this setting.

Age, achievements, significant contributions.

He has both.

He proposed a new possibility for football, a true late bloomer.

"I heard that the Golden Foot Award is made of gold foil, with more than 200 grams of gold on it." Chen Yufeng snickered.

He hopes to win both awards this year.

In addition, he is bound to win the UEFA awards ceremony of the new year that is about to start in September.

This time, he will undoubtedly win the UEFA Best Player and UEFA Best Forward. If not, there must be something shady.

After the interview, on his way back, Chen Yufeng saw the Toluca players still lingering in the venue.

They stood together in groups, pretending to chat, but in fact they were paying attention to what was going on here.

Seeing the end of Chen Yufeng's interview, many people came over pretending not to be too deliberate, holding either mobile phones, paper and pen, or nothing in their hands, ready to exchange jerseys with the White Wolves.

"Let's talk about it first. There is only one jersey. I really don't know who to give it to." Chen Yufeng guessed their intention and stood on the spot and said in advance.

He often encounters this kind of thing.

Even young players from many wealthy clubs would come together to exchange jerseys with him, not to mention players from the Mexican League.

After a period of selection, Toluca Club sent a young player who came on as a substitute in the second half today to exchange jerseys with Chen Yufeng.

Chen Yufeng also likes to see such scenes, which can be regarded as an inspiration to young people.

It's not that he is narcissistic, he really feels that he has this kind of influence, otherwise others wouldn't line up to come to him.

"I wish you greater success, come on, the Champions League is not your end, there will be a World Cup next year." Someone said this blessing to Chen Yufeng.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing you win the Golden Boot in La Liga and overpowering Messi and Ronaldo," someone said.

"You are the only player in the Premier League who has won all the awards, and this was achieved in two years. In La Liga, I believe you will not get used to it. You will have the same experience in three or four years at most. Achievements." Someone said for a long time.

"Your guesses are too conservative." Chen Yufeng smiled and shook his head, jokingly boasting.

He then posed for photos with the group and wrote his name to those who asked for autographs.

Finally, several elderly people who looked to be sixty-seven years old came up and took several photos with him.

After walking off the field, he learned from Simeone that those old people were Toluca's coaching staff.

"I'm still here playing with my mobile phone. I don't want to think about why people are looking for Chen Yufeng and not you." After boarding the bus for the return trip, the Saul man scolded everyone who was bowing his head in the bus.

He was quickly pinned down on the seat by Godin and Jimenez. Such fights between boys are naturally normal.

"Okay, let's all have a good sleep now. We will have a summary meeting when we arrive in Madrid tomorrow. We will have a day off the day after tomorrow, and we will close the team the day after tomorrow to prepare for the Audi Cup." Simeone signaled everyone to stop making trouble and rest.

He told the arrangements for the past few days to let the players have a clear idea of ​​what they were going to do.

"With just two games, we can win the Audi Cup at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena. I hope everyone can pay attention to this game. It will be difficult for us to win a championship." Simeone emphasized the Audi Cup in a self-deprecating way.

Atletico Madrid has lived under the suppression of Real Madrid and Barcelona for too long, and it is indeed difficult to win the championship.

A few years ago, they occasionally reached the top of La Liga, stole the Copa del Rey, and reached the Champions League final.
At that time, they were hailed as the most promising red and white battleships to end the struggle between the two powers in La Liga.

But as time goes by, the number of times they are given this title has become less and less.

Judging from the betting odds that Atletico Madrid have increased year after year, the outside world is generally not optimistic about them.

With the arrival of Chen Yufeng this year, everything seems to be showing signs of hope.

The players and coaching staff all have the courage to spy on the championship.
But this is actually not enough.

They need real achievements to give themselves more confidence parts.

The Audi Cup is undoubtedly the best part.

At noon the next day, the players who flew back to Madrid from Mexico were exhausted.

Flying halfway around the world just to play a friendly match is indeed a bit tiring.

However, everyone understands that Atletico Madrid bought Chen Yufeng, which cost and burdened too much. They need this kind of friendly matches and exhibition matches.

No need to ask, you know that Mexico must have paid a high appearance fee.

Judging from Chen Yufeng's popularity during this period, we can guess that the appearance fee will not be less than 700 million US dollars.

Chen Yufeng knew these things himself, but he didn't feel anything.

Atletico Madrid didn't treat him badly, so he certainly wouldn't treat Atletico Madrid badly.

He quite hopes that this club will make more money, because in that case, he will perform better in the future, and if his salary is increased, he will have more capital and confidence.

The days continue to move forward in this way, and only the last Audi Cup matches are left in the friendly matches, which may be one or two.

The heavy pressure of the upcoming start of the La Liga league is gradually falling on everyone.

However, compared to previous years, their expectations are stronger.

On July 7, Chen Yufeng’s Atletico Madrid No. 30 jersey was officially launched for sale worldwide.

A round of madness begins.
