The two of them are still in the same boat.
Chapter 371: Leicester City can’t give me what I want!
Faced with Vardy’s confusion, Ling Feng just applied sunscreen to his girlfriend’s long legs and nodded:
“Yes, we talked about the transfer privately.”
Vardy is not only his teammate, but also his closest friend.
So, Ling Feng didn’t intend to hide it from Vardy.
Of course, he did not directly tell Vardy that he had his own “contribution” behind Kante’s transfer to Manchester United.
After hearing Ling Feng’s answer, Vardy was not surprised. He just calmed down his inner fluctuations and shrugged with a little regret:
“Well, although it’s a pity, I still wish him all the best.”
Vardy knew very well that with his excellent performance in the Premier League and the European Cup, Kante had long attracted the attention of many giants.
A small temple like Leicester City can no longer accommodate great gods like the Premier League steal king and the European Cup steal king.
What’s more, in the past few months, Kante’s agency team has repeatedly rejected the club’s renewal terms.
Many giant clubs have already made offers.
Now it seems that the 130,000 weekly salary offered by Manchester United is simply not matched by Leicester City’s financial resources!
What’s more, compared to Leicester City, whose ancestors were not rich at all, Manchester United is undoubtedly a bigger stage!
Therefore, he was only surprised at the beginning about Kante’s departure, and he was soon relieved.
Vardy knows deep down that this is the sadness of a small club.
Even though they have just become the Premier League champions, it cannot change the fact that they are just a small club that has just returned to the Premier League for less than three seasons
The departure of the main defensive midfielder Kante has caused Vardy’s concerns.
Because, compared to Kante, the best partner in front of him on the court has always been coveted by other giants
However, sometimes what you fear will come true!
“By the way, since we are talking about this, I have something to tell you”
“What is it? You are not planning to transfer too, are you?”
After that, Vardy stared straight at Ling Feng, wanting to see his reaction.
However, Ling Feng paused, then raised his head, met Vardy’s gaze seriously, and smiled:
“You guessed right. I plan to leave the team in the summer!”
Ling Feng just said his future plans lightly.
And this answer made Vardy’s heart suddenly skip a beat.
Then, with the last glimmer of hope, he asked, “Are you kidding or are you serious?”
However, Ling Feng restrained his smile and nodded to confirm:
“Really. I haven’t told anyone else yet. You are the first one to know about this.”
Hearing this, Vardy couldn’t help but curl his lips, looking a little aggrieved.
So what if I was the first to know? !
While mumbling in his heart, Vardy, who couldn’t hide his feelings, asked directly:
“Why do you want to leave? Isn’t it better to stay and fight side by side with us?”
At this time, Ling Feng had just finished applying sunscreen to his girlfriend’s legs, handed her the sunscreen, and then stood up.
“Jamie, let’s go for a walk.”
The two walked along the beach, facing the warm sunshine and stepping on the soft sand. Ling Feng also explained the reason for his departure:
“Jamie, I hope you don’t misunderstand. I like everything about Leicester. Whether it’s the team atmosphere, teammates and fans, or the environment”
“But Leicester City can’t give me what I want!”
Vardy is not a fool.
He knows very well that the “thing” Ling Feng mentioned is not a high salary or a team status.
It’s the golden ball!
But, to win the Golden Ball in Leicester City?
It’s almost impossible!
Unless he wins the Premier League and the Champions League in Leicester City, and it’s not a big year, and his personal data must be very explosive, it is possible to beat other giants in the Golden Ball selection.
The influence of a small club is completely different from that of a giant club.
Just like in the competition for the best player in the Premier League last season, Ling Feng regretfully lost to Hazard.
Even though Ling Feng’s personal data is better than Hazard’s and his overall performance is more stable.
But in the end, Hazard took away the trophy that represents the best in the Premier League.
The most critical factor affecting the competition for personal honors is the effectiveness of the two.
’s team status and influence.
Hazard plays for Chelsea, which won the Premier League championship and is also one of the Premier League giants.
But Ling Feng plays for a newly promoted team that returned to the Premier League after ten years.
If Ling Feng played for Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, or even Tottenham, which has been hovering on the edge of a giant, he would be able to beat Hazard and win the Premier League’s best player in his first Premier League season.
After all, Gareth Bale, the “Great Sage” who has won the Premier League’s best player twice, is a living example!
Bale, who played for Tottenham at the time, did not help the team win the Premier League championship, and did not even make it into the top four of the league.
But with the influence of the Tottenham club and Bale’s personal explosive performance, he still defeated Berbatov, Van Persie and other stars who played for the championship team and won the Premier League MVP!
This is the difference between a small club and a giant club!
As the saying goes, people go to higher places.
If there is an opportunity to join a giant club, every professional player will not easily give up such an opportunity to leap over the dragon gate.
Unless he is in a wealthy club!
Ling Feng’s answer made Vardy think a lot for a while
He also knew that he was not qualified and could not stop Ling Feng from making his own decision.
The world of professional competitive football is cruel and it is a survival of the fittest.
The reason why the story of one man and one city is praised is precisely because of its scarcity.
In many cases, it is very normal for professional players to make transfer choices that are more beneficial to their careers for their own career planning.
Thinking of this, Vardy suppressed the persuasive words that were about to come out of his mouth, and then asked:
“I understand. Have you decided where to go?”
“We are still negotiating, and it is not certain yet.”
“The boss doesn’t know yet? If he knows, he will definitely be disappointed.”
Hearing this, Ling Feng was silent for a moment, then he paused and turned to look at Vardy:
“Sorry, Jamie.”
Hearing this, Vardy just raised his hand and punched Ling Feng in the chest, and smiled:
“Please, what’s there to be sorry about!”
“If I were as young and talented as you, I would not miss any opportunity to join a giant, and then.”
After a pause, Vardy also burst out His secret:
“To be honest, Arsenal and Wenger have contacted me and hope that I will join the Gunners!”
“When I received the call from Wenger, I was very excited and excited. But I calmed down quickly.”
“On the one hand, I am 29 years old, and this may be my last chance to play for a big club. My heart and my agent told me to seize it!”
“But on the other hand, I need to consider my family and children.”
“Rebecca has become accustomed to life in Leicester, and she just gave birth to a child and needs my company very much. I don’t want to leave her at this time.”
“Even though Leicester is only an hour’s drive from London”
. . .
Walking on the warm Mediterranean coast, Ling Feng talked a lot with Vardy.
In the distant England, with Kante’s official announcement of joining Manchester United, things began to develop in a direction that the Blue Foxes’ top management could not control and least wanted to see.
The fans naturally could not accept Kante’s departure.
You know, if it weren’t for Kante’s sweeping interception in the midfield and the protection of the back line last season, the Blue Foxes’ defense would never have been so good!
Such a top defensive midfielder who is the main force of the Premier League champion is actually sold? !
Does the management know football? !
Fans flocked to the club’s official website and social media and began to bombard the screen.
“The management is a bunch of people!”
“Give me back Kante!”
However, Kante’s departure was a helpless move by the Blue Foxes’ top management.
Because there is a 20 million pounds bidding clause in Kante’s contract.
Any club can participate in the bidding for Kante as long as it takes out 20 million pounds, and finally the highest bidder will take over this freshly baked French iron waist.
And such a price can’t stop other giants at all.
You know, in today’s era of scarce defensive midfielders, Kante, the Premier League’s stealing king, is like picking up 20 million pounds for nothing.
In the end, Manchester United still snatched Kante at twice the price.
This is a signal to other big clubs.
Since you can even sell the team’s main defensive midfielder, you must be willing to let other players leave!
So, many big clubs waved their money and rushed into the supermarket called “Leicester City” to select their favorite players!
For a while,
Leicester City received no less than ten offers.
The players who were offered, from the three musketeers headed by Ling Feng, Vardy and Mahrez, to the young talents of the Blue Foxes such as Drinking Water Brother and Maguire.
Almost the entire starting lineup received offers from other clubs!
For the Blue Foxes management, this is definitely the busiest summer.
While they are rushing to negotiate contract renewals with the players, they are also reluctant to reject offers from other clubs.
Other players are easy to talk about, as long as the salary increases, they can basically get it done.
Only the renewal of the team’s star player Ling Feng is in a deadlock.
Even though Leicester City offered a weekly salary of 200,000 to break the team’s salary structure and 100% image rights, Mendes did not give in.
As the media broke the news that many giants are interested in Ling Feng and have submitted offers, more and more Blue Foxes fans hope that the team can sign a new contract with Ling Feng as soon as possible to lock in the future of the team’s star player.
In order to calm the fans’ concerns, the director of Leicester City could only publicly announce in an interview with reporters that Ling Feng was not for sale.
No matter how much money, he would not be sold!
However, when The Sun broke the details of Ling Feng’s 90 million termination clause, fans of other giants also expressed their attitudes:
“Only 90 million? I’ll take it!”–These are the wealthy Manchester City and Chelsea fans.
“90 million pounds? How about a little more?”–These are the Manchester United fans who like to raise the price.
“Too expensive, can you pay in installments?”–These are the Arsenal fans who like to pay in installments.
What no one expected was that Liverpool took the lead!
This summer is the first summer window for “Uncle Zha” to take over the team.
So, he attaches great importance to it.
Although the team already has Coutinho, the core of the frontcourt organization, it seems that Ling Feng is not needed.
However, in Klopp’s view, Ling Feng can completely play as a right winger to enhance the team’s explosive ability on the wing.
In Klopp’s 4231 formation last season, Milner played as a right winger, with good crosses, small skills and physical fitness.
He was also one of the best players in the Red Army last season.
However, Milner lacks absolute speed and breakthrough ability as a winger, and cannot give the team a greater advantage on the wing.
Ling Feng is different.
At the European Cup, when he was a right winger, he made a perfect full-back, which made many fans exclaim “Reverse Bale!”
If Ling Feng can join the team, Sturridge, Firmino, Coutinho and Ling Feng will be able to form an invincible Red Army quartet!
However, the offer of 40 million pounds plus Benteke still makes Leicester City fans live in Bengbu.
That’s it?
However, as Liverpool’s offer was exposed, other Premier League giants, as well as foreign giants, began to openly pursue Ling Feng!
The second round of offers followed one after another
For a time, the summer transfer drama of “Where will Ling Feng go” entered a white-hot stage.
While all the big clubs were joining the “Ling Feng competition”, Ling Feng, who was still on vacation in Sardinia, called Leicester City coach Ranieri:
“Boss, I’ve thought about it for a long time and decided to tell you in advance. I’m going to leave!”
The reason why he revealed his next plan to Ranieri in advance was actually the same as Vardy.
He wanted to tell Ranieri (Vardy) the news in person, rather than seeing his beloved disciple (partner) poached by other teams after getting up early in the morning.
Ranieri was not surprised by Ling Feng’s departure notice.
From the slow progress of the contract renewal negotiations, the persuasion of Ling Feng by the big clubs, and Mendes’ contact with other teams, he guessed that Ling Feng might have had the idea of transferring and leaving a long time ago.
As the team coach, Ranieri certainly didn’t want a top player and team core like Ling Feng to leave
But he also knew that the team couldn’t keep such a player.
Ranieri also tried to persuade.
However, Ling Feng’s attitude was very firm, and he also directly stated the fact that it would be difficult for him to win the Ballon d’Or if he stayed in Leicester City.
In this regard, Ranieri could only wish him well.
After privately informing Ranieri that he was going to leave, Ling Feng’s agent Mendes also called Leicester City Club Director Ru Dekin and got straight to the point:
“After careful consideration, my client has decided not to renew his contract with the club, and hopes that the club will allow him to negotiate transfers with other clubs!”
