Chapter 39 Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox [Seeking follow-up reading~]
What the hell? !
Did the head coach know that I was in contact with my agent and might leave Leicester City, so he suddenly called me? !
As soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by Ling Feng.
How could it be such a coincidence!
“Sorry, I have to answer a phone call.”
After apologizing to Mendes and Mahrez, Ling Feng walked out of the coffee shop and answered the phone outside the store:
“Coach?”
“Ling, where are you?”
“I’m drinking coffee outside, what’s wrong?”
“I have something very important to tell you.”
Hearing the head coach’s opening remarks, Ling Feng suddenly felt a little puzzled.
What day is today?
Mendes came to me and said he wanted to sign me; then the head coach called me again and said he had something very important to tell me.
While his head was turning, Ling Feng did not forget to answer:
“What is it?”
“Arsenal just sent an email to the club, trying to trigger your penalty and buy you out!”
Ling Feng was a little surprised when he heard the news.
Hmm?
Arsenal?
Wenger is interested in me? !
After thinking about it, Ling Feng was relieved.
His amazing performance in the past month, coupled with the media’s hype, was enough to attract the attention of scouts from many Premier League clubs.
Especially after directing the wonderful drama of eliminating Chelsea, even the famous “madman” Mourinho praised him at the post-match press conference.
Professional players, as long as they perform well on the field, fame and money will follow.
In a word, he is popular!
The most intuitive feeling is that his Twitter followers have been increasing wildly since the game.
By 10 o’clock this morning, it has increased by more than 30,000!
Moreover, it is still increasing at a visible speed!
In less than half a day, the number of comments and likes on the tweet he posted after the game yesterday exceeded 50,000.
Given Wenger’s hobby of cultivating young demons, it is reasonable for him to be interested in him.
But he didn’t expect that the timing of Wenger’s offer was so coincidental.
By the way, is there a penalty in the contract he signed with the club?
Hearing that Ling Feng didn’t say anything, Pearson on the other side suddenly became a little anxious.
“Hey, Ling, are you still listening?”
“Ah? Oh, I’m here.”
“Although Arsenal has triggered your penalty clause and can directly negotiate a transfer with you. However, I want you to know that the club, including me, very much hopes that you will stay.”
“Of course, as long as you stay, we will sign a new contract, you will get a higher salary and a considerable signing fee, enough game time, and your favorite jersey number.”
After listening carefully to the renewal treatment proposed by Pearson, Ling Feng said slowly:
“Coach, thank you very much for the club and you to think so highly of me. However, I need some time to think about it, okay?”
“Of course.”
Pearson also understood that he had done the best as a head coach.
Next, it depends on Ling Feng’s choice.
. . .
Back to the cafe again.
As soon as he sat down, Ling Feng said to Mendes who was sitting opposite him:
“Mr. Mendes, I just received a call and learned something that surprised me.”
“Oh, what is it?”
“Arsenal just triggered the penalty clause in my contract and plans to bring me from Leicester to London.”
When these words came out, both Mendes and Mahrez beside him were stunned.
Mendes reacted immediately, spread his hands and smiled:
“It’s not surprising at all. Your talent will attract the attention of other Premier League coaches sooner or later. Mr. Wenger is as discerning as ever.”
“Mr. Mendes, I want to ask you a question.”
“What question?”
“If I become your client, from your professional perspective, what should I do?”
Hearing this, Mendes was immediately refreshed.
He knew very well that this question was very critical.
Perhaps it would determine whether he could sign the English genius in front of him!
So, Mendes frowned, thought for a moment, and then answered again:
“I will ask you about your wishes first, and then provide you with my professional advice. Of course, the final decision is made by
You. ”
This answer made Ling Feng very satisfied.
Without hesitation, Ling Feng stretched out his hand and smiled brightly at Mendes:
“Mr. Mendes, your sincerity touched me, and I am very willing to be your client.”
And this answer also made Mendes satisfied.
The football giant stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ling Feng tightly, and asked:
“So, what is your wish? ”
With these words, Mendes and Mahrez both looked at Ling Feng.
However, the two did not know that Ling Feng had already made a decision in his heart the moment he stepped into the cafe.
In his opinion, staying in Leicester City is the best choice at this stage!
First of all, as a youth player of Leicester City, he is also a native of Leicester.
In Leicester, a small city of 300,000 people, he is the darling of the team and fans, and the future of the team that the head coach attaches great importance to.
If he transfers with liquidated damages after just being promoted to the first team and performing well, he will definitely become all Leicester City fans, and even The object of scorn of the whole city!
He can’t just consider his own future, he also has to consider his parents.
You know, his parents have lived in Leicester for more than 20 years and have become one with the city.
Especially his mother, who was born and raised in Leicester.
If he “betrayed” Leicester City in this way, his mother would definitely be sad.
Secondly, in Leicester City, he is the core of the midfield.
Although he has not yet become the absolute main force of the team.
However, his playing time has been increasing rapidly.
It is foreseeable that with his outstanding performance, the head coach will definitely continue to let him start.
But if now After transferring to Arsenal, he had to adapt to the new environment and the new team tactics, and at the same time compete with other midfielders.
Playing time may not be guaranteed.
After all, Arsenal’s young players have grown up under Wenger’s watch.
How could he, a new kid in the Championship, gain Wenger’s trust in a short period of time and replace Wilshere, Chamberlain, Ramsey and others as the main force in the midfield?
What’s more, the rhythm and confrontation of the Premier League games, as well as the opponents faced, will only be stronger than the Championship.
Once he performs poorly, he will sit on the bench.
For a young player, stable playing time, is the key to growth.
Even Ling Feng, who is a cheater, needs to constantly complete achievements through competitions and obtain corresponding rewards in order to grow faster.
Overall, it is better to stay in Leicester City and be the core of his midfield than to transfer to Arsenal, where he is unfamiliar with the place.
It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox.
Level up in the Championship for half a year, and then be promoted to the Premier League with the team, and fight in the Premier League with teammates that he is familiar with, such as Vardy and Mahrez!
Although he has made a decision in his heart.
However, Ling Feng did not answer directly, but looked at Mendes and asked very sincerely:
“Mr. Mendes, I want to hear your opinion first.”
