On November 11th, during this bachelor's day, Lu Feng was studying his current data.

It has been a season and a half since he signed a professional contract, but he has only won 7 first-team appearances.

Insufficient playing time, in addition to affecting his appearance bonus, also directly led to the extremely slow growth of experience points and skill proficiency.

In this season, Rodgers has obviously become a bit self-willed, and even Gerrard has gradually lost trust and reuse. The old captain who quit the national team originally wanted to devote all his energy to his favorite club, but waiting for Gerrard Ladd's ... is more and more bench time.

And the club's reluctance to sign a new contract with Gerrard has eroded the patience of the team soul a little bit.

But even so, everyone thought that Gerrard would eventually stay in Liverpool. After all, in the eyes of 99% of people, Gerrard is Liverpool.

He is not like another legendary player, Frank Lampard.

Although Lampard has played for Chelsea for more than ten years, he came from West Ham United after all, not the youth training of the Blues. Gerrard's body is red, every cell is red.

Represented by Gerrard's contract extension, there is a subtle discord in Liverpool's dressing room, and the poor performance in the league has further exacerbated the spread of this discord.

Fortunately, at this time, world football has entered the international competition day again.

Rodgers can take a breath during this time and calmly think about what went wrong with the team.

Of course, in addition to this, he had to pray that his main players had better not be injured.
-
The Chinese National Youth Team, which won the Asian Youth Championship, did not hold any games. These two weeks have also become Lu Feng's most relaxed two weeks since 2014.

But he has not completely entered the state of rest. In addition to daily training, he has to discuss with Mendes about which clubs he can choose.

Of course, it is impossible for Mendes to be by his side at any time. They just analyze the eligible clubs one by one through emails and phone calls.

"The Hague team in the Eredivisie, they were just acquired by a Chinese-funded company in the summer..."

"They will take special care of me?"

"No, their head coach is notoriously stubborn, and may even fight fiercely against the management's instructions..."

"Forget it, I don't want to be a victim of a compromise between the coach and the management."

"Then look at Atletico Madrid in Spain, a rich man from China bought 20% of the club's shares..."

"Atletico Madrid and Liverpool basically belong to the same level of teams. What's the difference between joining them and staying here? And...the style of this team is even rougher than the Premier League. Are you sure it's really suitable for me?"

"Hehe, you are more rational and calm than most players."

"Metz in Ligue [-], they have been deeply interested in Chinese players a long time ago, and have cooperated with the Chinese Football Association for a long time."

"I'm not interested in them."

"Arsenal?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Dortmund in the Bundesliga?"

"emmm...you want me to compete with Royce?"

"Don't worry, Royce is a glass man, he can't even play half of the games."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Mendes, why did Dortmund appear in the relegation zone of the Bundesliga?"

"It was an accident, how about AC Milan in Italy?"

After hearing the name, Lu Feng hesitated a little.

As a Liverpool fan for nearly 20 years, he actually likes AC Milan very much. After all, the grievances and hatreds between these two teams are really fascinating.

But... Today's AC Milan is in the most downturn period in the past 20 years. The whole club is in chaos and everyone is in a state of panic. Joining now may only lead to their own doom.

Lu Feng pondered for a moment, and finally spoke again:
"Mr. Mendes, I don't need to choose a famous club. My request is very simple. During the loan period, it is enough for me to play in official games, even if it is the Netherlands, Portugal or even... the British Championship. Any team can."

It's just a temporary loan for half a season, Lu Feng does not reject playing in some low-level leagues or teams.

Moreover, only by playing in these relatively weak environments can he get more chances to play, and he can also generate more eye-catching statistics, thus gaining more experience points, and then leveling up faster...

Mendes laughed:
"I thought you wouldn't pay attention to teams outside the five major leagues. If so, I can help you join any Portuguese club. Do you have a relatively favorite choice? Porto, Benfica, or Sporting Lisbon (Sporting Lisbon)? "

Lu Feng shook his head:

"For me, there is no difference between the three teams. What's your suggestion?"

For the top three in the Portuguese Super League, Mendes is of course at his fingertips:

"The conditions of Porto and Benfica are better, and their continuous participation in the Champions League also makes their economic situation relatively easy; Portuguese sports have declined in recent years. They have not won the league championship for 12 consecutive years..."

While he was explaining, Lu Feng had already opened the relevant website and inquired about the current standings of the Portuguese Super League.

As of the end of the 10th round, Benfica topped the list with 25 points, Porto temporarily ranked third with 22 points, and Sporting Portugal ranked eighth with 17 points.

He carefully checked the player data of the three teams again, mainly to confirm his potential competitors.

Porto's main attackers include Portuguese veteran Quaresma, Algerian footballer Brahimi, and Colombian giant J. Martinez; Benfica has Salvio, Jonas, Danilo Pereira ; Sporting Portugal has Nani, Slimani, Montero, Carlos Mane and others who have just transferred from Manchester United.

He checked repeatedly for a long time to confirm that he had not missed anything, and then sent a message to Mendes:
"I don't always like to add icing on the cake. Turning the tide is my style, and it can also reflect my strength and value."

Mendes was quick to respond:
"Sporting? I can make them guarantee a certain amount of playing time, I hope this is a good choice. You wait for my good news."
-
Two weeks passed quickly, and the Premier League battle reignited.

On November 11, Lambert, known as "the most inspirational grassroots striker", finally opened his scoring account in Liverpool, but his team lost 23-1 to Crystal Palace.

The shortcomings of Rodgers' on-the-spot command were fully exposed in this game. Liverpool was clearly behind by a large score, but he was still unwilling to play the third substitution card-even though Sturridge and Malkovich were sitting on the bench. Qi, Jordan Ibe, and offensive players such as Lu Feng.

This is not the first time that Rodgers has "wasted" substitutions. He is neither willing to let the main players have a proper rest, nor is he willing to train young youth players, but just watches the team continue to lose indifferently.

Lu Feng curled his lips and stood up helplessly.

I have shown the best competitive state in training, but I still can't shake the main positions of Coutinho and Sterling, and I can't even mix up some playing time at the last moment.

Rogers has long forgotten what happened last season, and he has even attributed the league championship to his genius tactical guidance ability and personality charm!
The team still hasn't found the right path forward.
