The midfield king of football life

Chapter 44 Chapter 44
Mountain City, the largest city in Northwest China, is named Mountain City because of its many mountains.

For many years, Li Feng's only memory is that he went to his grandma's house for summer vacation when he was in elementary school, and the summer in the mountain city was surprisingly hot.Even in the extremely hot summer, Li Feng played football with the children near his grandma’s house on the open field. At that time, he didn’t even know how to play football. He just ran with the ball. He didn’t have so many skills and strict physical conditions. The only thing that remained constant was the joy of playing football.

Now, Li Feng is playing in the professional arena, which is still in the European professional arena.In Europe, many people regard playing football as a profession, and some people do it because of love.But as we grow older, this love continues to fade in reality, but some people stick to it as always.

All ordinary perseverance is great.

Li Feng's mother and Thomas went to the mountain city one day earlier than Li Feng.Then Li Feng's mother took Thomas to taste the delicacies of the mountain city.After Li Feng agreed to the marriage between his mother and Thomas, Li Feng's mother was much happier, as if she was ten years younger.

After Li Feng arrived in the mountain city, his grandma and grandfather were the happiest. They hadn't seen Li Feng's grandma and grandfather for eight or nine years, and almost didn't recognize him.

The first thing my grandma said when she saw Li Feng was: "Ah, old man, is this Xiaofeng from our family? He is so tall and looks so foreign."

Li Feng smiled slightly and said, "Grandma, I am Xiaofeng. Listen to my voice. I haven't forgotten my hometown dialect. No matter how long I stay abroad, I will never forget my Chinese language, and neither will my grandma and grandpa."

"Good boy, good boy!" Grandma said excitedly while holding Li Feng's hand.

"Son, I heard from your mother that you are now playing football abroad? Is this promising? Is it hard over there?" Grandpa Li Feng asked with concern.

"Grandpa, it's not hard, it's not hard. Do you still remember that when I was young, I played football with the neighbor's children in the alley and broke the glass in your house? I liked playing football at that time, and now I finally realized my dream. It's not bitter at all." Li Feng replied.

"Remember, remember. Your football was confiscated at that time, and you were still angry with grandpa, hahaha" Grandpa Li Feng said happily.

Recalling what happened when he was a child, Li Feng was also filled with emotion.

No matter how busy he is, no matter where he is, Li Feng spends at least one hour a day for ball training and one hour for physical training.This is the persistence of being a good professional football player.

The only thing that made Li Feng feel regretful in the mountain city was that there were no football fields in the parks near his grandma's house. Later, he casually chatted with Chen Shihan about this matter.Li Fengcai knew that although China's land area is larger than that of the Netherlands, the sports infrastructure per capita is seriously lower than that of the Netherlands.Not to mention the football field, which occupies a large area and is expensive to maintain.

In fact, the total number of football fields in China is higher than that in foreign countries. There are so many schools in the city, and each school basically has a football field. However, the utilization rate of these facilities is very low, and they are rarely opened to the public. Li Feng thinks this is quite a waste.

During this time, Li Feng could only do basic exercises in the park with the ball, and then basic speed exercises.

In the past ten days in the mountain city, Li Feng also has a certain understanding of the current situation of domestic football.He wanted to do many things in his heart, but after communicating with Chen Shihan, the enthusiasm in Li Feng's heart suddenly cooled down by more than half.

According to Chen Shihan, the domestic youth training, football infrastructure, and football atmosphere cannot be changed overnight. There are not a few people in China who want to change the status quo. Every year, how many fans look forward to the national football team's good results, but the reality of the whole society is such that it is difficult to change in a short period of time. Something needs to be used as a catalyst.After being enlightened by Chen Shihan, Li Feng no longer thinks about these things. The only thing he can do now is to become a top player, and then return to China to realize what he wants in his heart.

During Li Feng's stay in China, there were constant transfer news from major clubs in the Eredivisie.

Not long after Li Feng returned to the mountain city, the Feyenoord club officially announced that next season will be coached by Ronald Koeman, with Van Bronckhorst as assistant coach.A few days after Ronald Koeman confirmed his coaching, Feyenoord released several major signings in a row.

Manchester City's 19-year-old young player Goodetti will be loaned to Feyenoord. The Swedish striker also performed very well in Manchester City's youth team, even better than Clasi's performance in the youth team.Klassey will compete with the Swedish striker for Feyenoord's starting striker position next season.When Klassie heard the news, he was also upset in every possible way, but there was nothing he could do.

Next season, Feyenoord's goal is definitely to be in the top three.

In addition, G. Fernandez, the head striker of the SBV elite team, will also transfer to Feyenoord next season. This news makes Klassie even more uncomfortable, and it also makes Li Feng unable to understand the club's intentions.

SBV elite left-back M. Nerome will also transfer to Feyenoord. Judging from this series of transfer actions, except that the midfield has not changed, Feyenoord's forwards and defenders have been strengthened.

Judging from Koeman's coaching experience, he is a coach who tends to play defensively and counterattack. He often appears anxious when the opponent is difficult to break through the goal, and forms a quick counterattack after the opponent makes a mistake.This style of play has worked well in both the Europa League and the Champions League.

In addition, the two giants of the Eredivisie are also making frequent moves. Ajax's leading striker Stellenberg will transfer to Serie A Roma, veteran van der Heyden will also transfer to Vidis for 30 euros, and Deuse will transfer to the Russian Super League Sparta Moscow for 600 million euros.Ajax will also undergo a major restructuring this season.

And another giant PSV Eindhoven also made substantial signings. Utler introduced their talented winger Mertens for 850 million euros, Stroman for 450 million euros, plus the talented midfielder Wijnaldum from Feyenoord, and Matafts from Groningen for 700 million euros. These major signings will greatly increase the depth of Eindhoven's bench.

Judging from the signings of major clubs, the competition for the Eredivisie next season will also intensify.Eindhoven wants to continue to defend the championship, Ajax wants to restore its former glory, and Feyenoord wants to return to the top three.Each family has its own plans, so next season's Eredivisie League will be exciting.

During Li Feng's stay in the mountain city, he has also been paying attention to the actions of several giants in the Eredivisie.Whether he can secure a starting position next season depends on how coach Koeman uses him and his own performance.And the only thing Li Feng can do is to ensure his good performance.
