A few days later,

Su Linfeng left Spain and flew to England.

He arrived in South London!

As a football fan in his previous life, he had long known about London, the city of football!

North London has the mortal enemies Arsenal and Tottenham.

West London has the Blues Chelsea.

East London has the"Hammers" West Ham United.

And South London is the base camp of Crystal Palace!

Dragon country stars Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai have both played here.

Fan Zhiyi was also the captain of Crystal Palace for a period of time!

Crystal Palace, nicknamed"Eagles", has an eagle as its team emblem.

Since its establishment in 1905, it has been up and down in leagues at all levels and is a famous"elevator" in English football.

Last season, that is, the 2009-10 season, Crystal Palace was fined by the Football Association due to financial problems.

After being deducted ten points, it finally ranked fourth from the bottom in the Championship.

It narrowly retained its place in the Championship and was almost relegated!

This season, Crystal Palace continued the downturn of last season and fell into the relegation zone early.

The relegation zone is a quagmire that is bottomless, and the coaching staff is extremely worried!

In the next few rounds of the league, Crystal Palace will face the impact of strong opponents in the English Championship.

The relegation situation is bleak!

"Hello, I'm here for a trial."

Su Linfeng arrived at the entrance of the Crystal Palace Club and stated his purpose.

Soon, Crystal Palace assistant coach Keith Millen came over and took Su Linfeng into the club.

"The head coach is over at the training ground, let’s go straight for the tryout!"

"I heard that it was Van who recommended you to the club himself! He is one of the meritorious figures of Crystal Palace. I believe in him, so I believe in you too. You will definitely pass the trial!"

"And you are a product of La Masia! We are looking forward to your performance!"

Millen looked amiable and took the initiative to talk to Su Linfeng.

Millen and Crystal Palace coach Ian Holloway are both kind and strict.

They usually play the good cop and the bad cop in the team.

Millen took Su Linfeng to the training ground.

On the way, he talked about some situations of Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace has been troubled by internal and external troubles in the past two years, and the team lacks a backbone.

There is an extreme shortage of midfield talents and the team's tactics are single.

Even in the English football world with its open and aggressive style, the midfield is a must-fight place.

Su Linfeng came with the halo of"La Masia product" and played as a midfielder.

Millen is looking forward to his performance.

After all, La Masia is especially rich in midfield masters!

Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets!

The most famous"Ha, Bai, Busquets" combination in today's football world all came from La Masia!

""The team's recent situation is not very good."

Millen looked worried,"Our head coach, Mr. Holloway, has been having trouble sleeping and eating recently! We were penalized points last season, but luckily we managed to stay in the league, but this season we lost consecutive games at the beginning and fell into the relegation zone. We will have to face strong opponents in the next few rounds of the league, which is really terrible."

Millen was gloomy.

The Crystal Palace is now in crisis from top to bottom!

The fiscal deficit, pressure from the English Football Association, lack of team talent, and terrible results are all reasons.

This old English club is suffocating.

The club is poor, and talent is lost; talent is lost, and the results are falling again and again, and the club is even poorer.

A vicious cycle.

Soon.

Su Linfeng followed Millen to the Crystal Palace training ground.

At this time in the training ground, Crystal Palace players were playing an intra-team competition.

The air pressure on the training ground was very low. Crystal Palace head coach Holloway stood on the sidelines, scolding the players on the field from time to time.

It can be seen that Crystal Palace's recent relegation situation is indeed very serious.

As the head coach, Holloway no longer has much patience.

If Crystal Palace is really relegated this season, he decided to resign directly and leave the mess to others.

On the sidelines.

Seeing Su Linfeng's figure, Holloway whistled and called a halt to the game.

Looking Su Linfeng up and down, Holloway frowned.

"You are Su from La Masia? Wait...You are only 16? You look quite tall...."

Su Linfeng nodded.

Hearing the conversation on the sidelines, the Crystal Palace players on the training ground immediately stopped what they were doing and looked over in surprise.

There was something different in their eyes.

A guy from La Masia?

A yellow-skinned guy?

An Asian? From the country of cherry blossoms, or South Korea?

The Crystal Palace players' first impression of Su Linfeng was somewhat difficult to describe.

"A La Masia product, coming to England for trial?"

"In the past two years, Barcelona has been in its heyday, and talents have flocked to Spain. Are the products of Barcelona's youth training camp going from Spain to England?"

The players of Crystal Palace quickly understood.

The guy who came for trial today seemed to be a product kicked out by La Masia!

Otherwise, which player from La Masia would not stay in Barcelona? At the very least, he would stay in Spain.

In recent years, Spain has been regarded as the"center" of European football.’

"What we need is a midfield master, not some discarded product from the youth training camp!"

Crystal Palace striker James Vaughan spread his hands in disappointment.

The other players were also very disappointed.

They heard that a 'midfielder' was coming for trial today, and was recommended by the team's meritorious star.

The result is just this?

Vaughan sighed, looking disappointed.

He is the main striker of Crystal Palace.

Once hailed as England's super genius, he is also the youngest goal scorer in the Premier League. He debuted at Everton and is Wayne Rooney's junior.

But due to injuries, Vaughan's star is no longer there. He has moved from the Premier League to the Championship and is now frustrated in Crystal Palace.

Vaughan originally thought that the team could have a 'god-level midfielder' to help him get out of trouble and usher in a second spring!

But now it seems that there is no hope!

The Crystal Palace players looked dejected, as if they had completely lost their fighting spirit because of the terrible record this season.

On the sidelines.

Holloway coughed lightly.

"Su, I know that you La Masia players all like Barcelona's passing and controlling style!"

"But during the trial, I hope to see something else! After all, this is England, and our style is completely different from Spain!"

When Fan Zhiyi introduced Su Linfeng to Holloway, he emphasized Su Linfeng's passing ability.

Holloway was a little disapproving. Who from La Masia doesn't do passing and controlling? Those who do passing and controlling have strong passing ability, and there is nothing to say.

But just strong passing ability can't save Crystal Palace from the water!

The current Crystal Palace's midfield organization is a mess, which is one of the reasons why they are deep in the relegation zone.

They need a"midfield commander" type of role like Xavi!

However, after hearing the words of the head coach.

Su Linfeng smiled and shook his head:"To be honest, I hate passing and controlling."

As he said, Su Linfeng walked to the side, changed his equipment, and began to warm up.

Holloway raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if he was a little surprised by what Su Linfeng said.

"Galvan, come down!"

Holloway called down a Crystal Palace player and turned to look at Su Linfeng,"Su, you will go up and play the No. 10 position. Your formation is 4-3-3. You are responsible for the organization and dispatch of the midfield!"

Holloway was very curious!

Su Linfeng said frankly that he hated the passing and controlling tactics?

But he was born in La Masia!

After a while, Holloway was a little confused about what kind of player Su Linfeng was.

Assistant coach Millen stood aside.

A group of Crystal Palace players also stared at each other. They were full of unknown curiosity about Su Linfeng.

Soon.

Su Linfeng changed his equipment, warmed up simply on the sidelines, and walked into the training ground!

""Beep!"

Holloway blew the whistle and resumed the game!

Su Linfeng began to run around the midfield!

He longed for a professional contract!

So he would go all out in today's trial!

【Ding! The side quest has been activated: Conquer your teammates and complete the trial!】
