Midfielder

Lin Yi still couldn't sort out the troubles caused by the two little girls. After all, this guy was not born to be a person who could understand girls' minds, and Lin Yi didn't have much time left during the vacation. In addition to the necessary business activities, he still had to consider many issues.

Especially regarding the choice of the national team, Mourinho originally planned to keep Lin Yi away from the national team's games for a while, so that he could have enough rest time after a tiring season and try to adjust his condition. Otherwise, this kid would easily suffer from fatigue syndrome.

After all, he was just 18 years old. Such a crazy season has almost drained all his physical reserves. Within a week after the end of the Champions League, Mourinho didn't even arrange regular training for Lin Yi, but just let him follow Faria to do a small amount of ball jogging.

Long season, frequent battles, especially Lin Yi played the whole game in almost every game.

In order to get rid of the defense of the opponent's back waist or defender, Lin Yi, as the core of the midfield organization, often needs to run non-stop, find loopholes in the opponent's defense line during the movement, and send out fatal passes.

According to statistics for the entire season, Lin Yi is the player in Chelsea who runs the longest distance on the field, except for Makelele. He runs more than 10,000 meters in almost every game.

The long-distance running over a large area, coupled with the intense physical confrontation he has to endure almost every second on the field, makes Lin Yi's physical energy consumption far more serious than when he played in Portugal.

Faria once complained to Mourinho in the middle of the season that overuse of Lin Yi would ruin that kid. Although Mourinho also wanted Lin Yi to have a reasonable rest time, his entire tactical system required Lin Yi to play a role, so that kid has been overdrawing his physical energy throughout the season.

Mourinho did not think about letting Lampard or Joe Cole take charge of the offensive organization, but Lampard, who is a little stiff, and Joe Cole, who plays a softer style, can neither replace Lin Yi's role.

To exaggerate a little, Chelsea can be ahead of the rest in the league, and the more than 20 assists contributed by Lin Yi played a decisive role. He is the guarantee that Chelsea can win the league championship in advance.

Moreover, after the Champions League quarterfinals, if this kid hadn't been wreaking havoc on the field, no one would have dared to guarantee that Chelsea could still win the championship. Don't forget the two goals Lin Yi scored when defeating AC Milan.

Although Lin Yi didn't have any major problems until the Champions League final, he never stopped having minor injuries throughout the season. It was either a slight muscle strain or some swelling and pain in his ankle due to the opponent's fierce steals. It was a miracle for him to last until the end of the season.

This is not the time when he was in Porto. Mourinho dared to let Lin Yi enter the rotation list casually. After all, the physical confrontation and point grabbing in the Premier League are too crazy. If God didn't bless him, maybe that kid would really be ruined by those damn defenders because of a physical confrontation.

It can be said that Lin Yi is definitely lucky this season. Those annoying injuries did not occur frequently, and his condition was not affected too much. It was just that at the end of the season, his physical condition was a little ups and downs, but in the key battles, this kid's condition was so good that it was outrageous.

Because of this, Lin Yi's muscle tissue is always in a state of fatigue. Faria and Chelsea's team doctor both suggested that Lin Yi should rest for about a month, which is a good help for his physical recovery. He is still in the stage of physical development and cannot compete with Lampard's beasts.

If you want this kid to continue this crazy state next season, then the best way is to let him enter a physical dormancy period and reserve physical strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, Chelsea's game tasks and intensive schedule next season may far exceed the intensity of this season.

In addition, during the off-season, many Chelsea players will participate in national team competitions. Their physical condition will definitely be worse than this season. Next season, they may face four-line battles, or more. Maybe what kind of situation will appear is unpredictable.

So at this time, Lin Yi's role will be highlighted, and after a crazy season, he will definitely become the target of public criticism in the next season's game. You know, there are many English media now, who are desperately building momentum for this kid to be elected as the World Footballer of the Year.

The Portuguese media is even more determined to introduce a new World Footballer of the Year. After Figo, they have been away from that honor for too long, and Lin Yi's appearance is undoubtedly a reminder for them.

However, there are also many competitors for Lin Yi, from Ronaldinho to Eto'o, including his teammate Lampard, these guys are very likely to compete for the honor of World Footballer of the Year this season.

Lin Yi and Lampard both have the title of Champions League, which may be their biggest bargaining chip, but Ronaldinho also has the results of the national team, which also makes the final result full of suspense.

Although Lin Yi himself has no extravagant expectations for the final result, in Mendes' view, having another title of World Footballer of the Year is not a simple honor, but a heavy weight.

Including when renewing or negotiating commercial contracts in the future, the honor of World Footballer of the Year may bring more opportunities and benefits to Lin Yi. Mendes is a businessman and he cannot ignore these issues, so this guy will encourage the Portuguese media to desperately canvass for Lin Yi.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lin Yi has this ability himself. Otherwise, it is impossible to convince the public by relying on the media. It’s just that at the level of the national team, it really needs to be done as soon as possible.

But if this kid can be successfully elected, then there is a very likely phenomenon that the number of people who want to knock him down will gradually increase, and the risk of this kid getting injured on the field will gradually increase. At that time, no one will care that he is only 18 years old, and everyone will think he is a target.

Just like when Ronaldo won the World Footballer of the Year twice, how many defenders were proud to be able to stop this guy from breaking through? How many defenders, in order not to be broken by him, began to kick his ankle unscrupulously. Don’t say this is a confrontation, this is naked hatred.

When you have countless honors, you'd better be prepared to be knocked down by the opponent on the field. The opponents on the football field will not respect or tolerate you. Most people want to win their glory by knocking you down, even if their methods are very cruel.

So when Faria made a training plan for Lin Yi, he also began to focus on making his body stronger. "If you continue to be so thin, I can't guarantee that you can still withstand more collisions. Those opponents will definitely use their strong muscles to kill you on the field."

Mourinho is not unaware of this, so he has never made any suggestions on Lin Yi's choice of the national team. He even hopes that the boy can temporarily stop thinking about these issues and spend a quiet holiday. After all, he is only 18 years old. Maybe four years later, it will be a good time for him to participate in the World Cup.

But Mendes still rejected Mourinho's proposal. Although Lin Yi is already a rising star in European football and even in the world football circle, the ultimate proposition of the national team is an option that cannot be ignored. The World Cup is the highest stage that every player wants to conquer.

If there had been no World Cup, Ronaldo's achievements might not have been as great as they are now. Although there was no Champions League and few League Championship trophies, as long as he had the 2002 World Cup title, who dared to say that Ronaldo was not a great player that everyone would remember forever?

The same reason can be applied to Lin Yi. Although he already has two Champions Leagues, if he wants to be the No. 1 on the field, he must try to conquer a bigger stage. The World Cup, the European Cup, these trophies are waiting for him to plunder, and joining the national team is an inevitable problem.

Mourinho has nothing to refute Mendes's reasons. Although he hopes that Lin Yi can have enough rest time, he is not as good as Mendes in business operations. Moreover, he also understands that Mendes is not squeezing Lin Yi's surplus value.

That guy is indeed preparing for the kid's future. If there is another agent who can make Mourinho feel at ease, it is probably Mendes. He has no ill intentions.

It can be said that Lin Yi was able to go so smoothly at the beginning of his career because Mendes did a lot of work behind him. Even when that guy had a bad relationship with the media, it was Mendes who handled everything.

Just like Mourinho gave his agency rights to Mendes with confidence, Lin Yi has never been dissatisfied with this agent who is like a housekeeper. Their relationship is more like that of brothers.

Even players like Carvalho and Ferreira who signed with Mendes would be jealous of Mendes's care for Lin Yi. "The same agent, the treatment is really different."

Of course, this is just a joke, but Mendes never dared to neglect Lin Yi's problems.

Maybe that kid is the reason why he can take off in the agent business, so Mendes is like protecting his own career. He will not be careless about the future of Lin Yi.

Mendes has not forgotten how that kid rejected the agent in person.

"I hope your decision won't make that kid overly tired." This is the only sentence Mourinho said to Mendes after he chose to give in on the national team issue. Moreover, he did not just say it casually, but had arranged for Faria and a full-time doctor to follow Lin Yi for recovery.

In addition, while ensuring medical care, Mourinho also asked Mendes to find a professional physical trainer to help Faria. If he must join the national team, he also needs to be fully prepared.

The busiest person in the football circle now must be Mendes. Both of his trump cards are being targeted by others. Although Ronaldo's performance this season is not as eye-catching as Lin Yi, Ronaldo, who has gradually established a foothold in Manchester United, is now regarded as a potential stock for development by many giants.

The old Sir Alex may not be as keen on discovering newcomers as before, but no one will doubt the old man's ability to train newcomers, not to mention that Ronaldo himself is a very talented guy. With the careful training of the old Sir Alex in Manchester United this year, his value has begun to rise.

He contributed seven assists and scored ten goals in one season. Although this result does not seem as dazzling as Lin Yi, Ronaldo's role on the court has gradually begun to emerge. Even Ferguson said privately, "The decision to spend 17 million to buy that kid now seems not to be a loss."

Not only is it not a loss, many people say that if more than 20 million could be spent on buying Veron, then this investment of more than 10 million is definitely worth it, and it can be regarded as Ferguson's finishing touch in recent years.

Sir Alex spent 17 million to buy him, and now someone has offered 25 million euros to buy this kid from Manchester United, but Mendes has received a notice from the old Sir Alex that it is best not to test Manchester United's bottom line regarding Ronaldo's problem, at least he does not want to sell the kid now.

And in the next few years, he has no such plan. The rebirth of Manchester United still depends on these young guys to break through. Ferguson has not thought about giving up his dominance in the Premier League.

Although he was defeated by Mourinho this season, it does not mean that the old Scottish man has given up. The restoration of the Manchester United dynasty has been gradually unfolding quietly.

Lin Yi's performance this season has already stimulated Ferguson. Now he does not want to let go of this potential stock that has been cultivated for a year. Moreover, he is also counting on the chemical reaction between Ronaldo and Rooney so that the old Sir Alex can cope with the vacancy that may be lost in the summer.

After a season with nothing, Ferguson needs to reshape his true colors in the Premier League. Want the old man to let go of the cornerstone of the team's reconstruction? Then you are dreaming.

There are many people who want to buy Ronaldo. Similarly, there are more people who want to buy Lin Yi. Especially after seeing this kid's wonderful performance in the Champions League, several clubs with strong confidence have begun to act.

Manchester City, which has been rumored to be acquired by the Prime Minister of Thailand recently, is also one of them. After being oppressed by its old neighbor for half a century, Manchester City also intends to rely on foreign funds to replicate Chelsea's glory.

"If others can do it, we can do it too!" This slogan spread in Manchester City Club for the first time. Although the so-called acquisition is still a possibility, those Manchester City fans who are in urgent need of honor can't wait. They really hope that they can have an Abramovich.

However, Chelsea doesn't need to look at this potential opponent in the future. Kenyon is more concerned about the giants like Real Madrid, who are trying to seduce Lin Yi to defect.

Perhaps seduction can no longer be used to describe Florentino's desire for Lin Yi. The head of the La Liga giants has said on different occasions without any concealment that he hopes to sign a contract with Lin Yi.

"Real Madrid is a great club, so it should have the best players. Just like the arrival of superstars like Zidane and Ronaldo, I need Lin Yi very much."

"And Real Madrid can bring Lin Yi more honors. There is a tradition of winning championships here. As an excellent player, Lin Yi should have a bigger stage. I hope he can choose Madrid."

Florentino's attitude was quite sincere when he said this. Maybe even when he promised to introduce a superstar a year in front of the fans, he might not be so sincere.

This is not only because Real Madrid is now caught in the crossfire of old rivals such as Valencia and Barcelona, ​​but also because Florentino is about to face the election of the club president.

He really needs a person like a tonic to appear, and Lin Yi's performance in the Champions League is definitely qualified for such a role. Even if he gives everything, he wants to buy Lin Yi.

But this time, the head of Real Madrid encountered a Russian tycoon who spends money like water.

In the economic competition, Florentino does not have an advantage. He can only use the long history and tradition of Real Madrid as a bargaining chip, as well as several superstars under his own team.

People like Zidane, Beckham, Ronaldo, and Raul have all extended olive branches to Lin Yi, especially Zidane, who really hopes to have the opportunity to compete with Lin Yi on the same field.

"When he was still in Porto, we played against each other, but he was still a little immature at that time, but in this season's Champions League final, he has completely become the master on the field. If he can play for Real Madrid, I think it will be a wonderful midfield combination."

Raul, Zidane, Beckham, Lin Yi, if all this comes true, such a luxurious midfield offensive line may really create a new invincible galactic battleship for Real Madrid.

But Kenyon rejected this possibility in front of the media. He even publicly stated that Lin Yi is not for sale at Chelsea now, and don't try to impress Chelsea's ace core with money.

I guess Kenyon is just about to tell the media, "I'm not short of money, don't ask me about the price!"

And this guy even said publicly, "If Real Madrid doesn't stop harassing us like this, Chelsea will also launch a shopping offensive for their stars."

Fighting an economic war, Kenyon is not afraid of anyone now. His transfer fee this season is definitely enough to complete several big deals, and he doesn't care who he offends, anyway, his popularity has never been good.

This is not only a response to Real Madrid, but also a collective response to those giants who are trying to poach players from Chelsea. Kenyon wants to tell them, Lin Yi, we are not selling him!

You expect Chelsea to sell a lunatic whose value may increase several times? That is really a dream. Chelsea is counting on this guy to continue to wreak havoc in Europe in the new season.

And the lunatic is not in the mood to pay attention to the news now. He is worrying about the national team. When God gives you many choices, it is really a worrying problem.
