In fact, it is no secret in Porto that Lin Yi cannot stay. In early January, the news about the transfer was already circulating.

It's just that at that time no one believed that Lin Yi would leave in the winter, and the little guy did promise in front of everyone that he would not leave.

But it's different now. The whole season is over, the carnival belonging to Porto has passed, and everyone's future is waiting to be determined.

Including Lin Yi's own, but when the Porto club announced that their star of hope began to accept offers, the fans' emotions suddenly got out of control. At least they were thinking of a feasible way to keep Lin Yi. They were reluctant to leave this black-haired little guy.

What kind of memories did the glorious season bring to all Porto people? Others can't understand, nor can they experience the cheering mood.

But Porto people know who brought them this happiness. It was the black-haired little guy who once gave them too much madness and passion.

The Portuguese Super League actually has a similar role to the Eredivisie and Ligue 1. It has always been a processing plant for exporting players. It has become accustomed to the coming and going of players.

There are too many people who are forged into the embryo of a star here, and then go to the five major leagues to seek opportunities for gilding, and then start to succeed.

Even Portugal's greatest golden generation took this path. People like Figo and Costa all left the Portuguese Super League.

And they also went from here to the most glorious moment of their careers. It is no longer news that the Portuguese league cannot retain people.

For many players, this is just a springboard to a higher-level league. No one will keep all their feelings in such a league.

Even if this player was cultivated by this club since childhood, he just shed a few tears and performed a bloody drama when he left.

This is the world. Everyone has long been accustomed to it. No one is unchanging, and no one is irreplaceable. It just takes time.

When new players grow up, those pioneers will naturally become forgotten people. The changes in the football circle are so fast.

And the fans have become very indifferent. They can accept the fact that most players are leaving the team, and sometimes even send blessings.

Like when Gomez chose to leave Portugal, more people did not curse his betrayal, but sent their own prayers.

When Ronaldo transferred from Sporting Lisbon to Manchester United last season, it also caused a lot of waves in Lisbon, but that was more because Manchester United paid such a high transfer fee for a young man, rather than those Lisbon people resisting this transfer request.

After all, in front of such a price, I am afraid that even the fans can't blame the team for giving up their future. This is the helplessness of the football processing factory.

Perhaps only when Figo left Sporting Lisbon would such a big wave be set off, and Lin Yi's this time is obviously more fierce.

Those crazy fans have even launched an activity to keep Lin Yi. Even if it is a donation, they don't want Lin Yi to be bought by those giants.

"Let our lucky angel stay in Porto forever!" This shout is not made by one person, but by hundreds or even thousands of people.

This may be the most fierce wave for the Portuguese, who have always been slow in character. They have protested to Da Costa.

Many fans even threatened that if the club let Lin Yi go, they might choose to give up buying tickets for the next season.

Or a more serious move is that they might incite fans not to go to the Dragon Stadium to watch the game, in order to fight the club's decision to sell players.

For the fans' protest, Da Costa could only show an attitude of understanding, after all, he didn't want Lin Yi to leave so early.

But he couldn't go back on his word with Mendes and force Lin Yi to stay. Maybe at this time he could only see if the little guy really wanted to leave.

This powerful incitement that made the whole city crazy made Mendes feel ashamed. After all, he didn't expect that the kid had captured the whole city with his performance on the court in just over a season, but Lin Yi did have this magical charm.

Maybe Mendes didn't understand these fans' crazy obsession with Lin Yi from the bottom of his heart, at least he couldn't do it to such a crazy extent.

But Lin Yi did bring this city a great result. In one season and ten games, he helped the team win five championship titles.

Two league titles, one cup title, one UEFA Cup title, and one Champions League trophy, he has almost achieved the ultimate of a player.

It cannot be said that these are all Lin Yi's credit, but those critics dare to assert that without Lin Yi, Porto would not be so smooth.

Especially in this Champions League match, without Lin Yi's flexible and strange running on the field, Porto's offense would lose a lot of inspiration.

You know, the assist contributed by this kid in the final has helped him beat Monaco's Rothen to achieve the title of Champions League assist king.

And this kid has made his blade-like passes more than once in the entire Champions League, successfully penetrating the opponent's defense.

Just like what Ferguson said after the match against Manchester United, "The boy's pass is like a sniper rifle bullet, so accurate."

This is Lin Yi's value on the field. He can ignite the entire field with his feet and make everyone crazy with him.

It is difficult for those Porto people not to fall in love with him, especially the boy's deceptive face, which is too popular with female fans.

Now you ask these Porto people to give up this crazy visual enjoyment. No matter who it is, it is impossible to easily accept this ending.

But it is no secret that this little guy is leaving. Various documents on Mendes' desk have piled up, all of which are Lin Yi's.

AC Milan, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, these transfer conditions have been placed in front of Mendes, making it difficult for him to choose. No matter which one is picked out, they are all traditional giants in European football, and the conditions they offer are very tempting.

It can be seen that these giant teams that have fallen this season are unwilling to be losers again. They all want to strengthen their lineups as soon as possible.

And it is undoubtedly a good idea to poach players from non-giant teams like Porto. It not only weakens the opponent's strength, but also strengthens themselves.

For a little guy like Lin Yi who has experienced the test of the entire Champions League, I am afraid that these giants are all drooling to launch the acquisition.

An offensive player like this who can deliver a fatal pass at any time in the front court is not only needed by the team, but also crazy pursued by those fans.

After the Champions League final, Mendes has received too many cooperation intentions, and endorsement contracts for various advertisements have been piled up.

A Champions League has raised Lin Yi to a new height. The two goals and one assist in the final have completely made this little guy.

Maybe Lin Yi just doesn't want to miss such a decisive battle, but Mendes can see too much commercial value from this. His only regret may be that the opponent in the final is not those giants. If Porto beats a team like AC Milan, perhaps the commercial effect will be more terrifying.

Now no one cares about Lin Yi's age. What's wrong with not being 17? Pele had already lifted the World Cup at this age!

Besides, that kid has been tested in actual combat. He didn't become famous in one battle, but he has been performing very well throughout the season.

The results of the league and cup competitions may be negligible. After all, Porto's strength is there, and they really have no rivals in the Portuguese Super League.

But in the Champions League, this kid has been integrating into the atmosphere of the Champions League at the fastest speed since the first game, and he has been wantonly using his genius thinking. The defenses of Real Madrid, Manchester United, and other teams have been torn apart by his passes and attacks more than once.

Just like what Wenger said in an interview with the French media, "Genius is a person who can shine if he is given an opportunity."

There is no doubt that Lin Yi is the genius mentioned by the "professor", so he is willing to make a very high transfer offer for Lin Yi this time.

You know, this old French man has always been quite stingy. He is not as willing to spend a lot of money as the Scottish old man in Manchester United.

The collective affirmation of many coaches has proved Lin Yi's competitive value, and his commercial value is also a factor that attracts these people.

Even in a city like Porto with only 300,000 people, the sales volume of Lin Yi's No. 20 jersey can exceed 50,000 pieces in one season.

What kind of terrifying ratio is this? Mendes even dared to bet with others that there is such a jersey in the home of every fan in Porto.

Porto is not a big football city, but Lin Yi has set off the madness here. If this is changed to a giant, what will it be like?

Maybe that kid can create a new high in jersey sales, and he can make those wide stadiums no longer have empty seats.

And those contracts from commercial sponsorship will come one after another, and the benefits he can bring to the team alone may become more and more.

Those transfer experts of the giants are not stupid. They will see the potential value, so they are so impatient.

Guys like Peter Kenyon took the initiative to talk to Mendes about the various conditions for Lin Yi's transfer before the finals were over.

Mendes is not worried about not being able to sell Lin Yi now. He is only worried about how to select the next stop for Lin Yi. There are too many giants, which is really a headache.

Alas, this is the gap. Others are trying their best to get into the giants, but that kid has so many choices. . .

(Old F has left. Alas, the hero is old. The scoring expert who was once ranked top in the NBA has fallen like this... sad.)
