The team was preparing for the next few days in Leicester City, however, Craig did not let Lin Feng train with the team, and still arranged for him to do some adaptive training, on the grounds that Lin Feng had just transferred and needed to slowly adapt to the training rhythm here.

Friday.

Leicester City's entire team chartered a special plane to Madrid, Spain.

This kind of chartered flight to play away is still relatively rare for a small club like Leicester City, and as the owner of the club, Shen Mengfei also personally accompanied the team and offered the team a promotion reward of 5 million euros.

on the plane.

Shen Mengfei and the team's head coach Craig are seated next to each other.

"The media says we're going to be eliminated, what does Coach Craig think? What are the odds of our team qualifying? Shen Mengfei said while flipping through today's newspaper.

'It's true that we're in a passive situation, but with one game to go, our chances of qualifying are still 50 per cent. Craig responded with a stubborn expression.

"Fifty percent?" Hearing this, Shen Mengfei smiled lightly: "It seems that Coach Craig is still quite confident." ”

'I've coached this team and I naturally have confidence in the players. Craig replied in a deep voice.

"Confidence is of course a good thing, but strength is another." Shen Mengfei shrugged lightly and continued: "The first thing I did when I bought Leicester City Club was to bring in Lin Crazy at a high price, but I heard that you haven't let him train with the team so far, I wonder why?" ”

"Uh, this ......" Craig was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Shen Mengfei to suddenly mention this.

"Lin Feng has just joined the team, everything is still in the adaptation stage, plus we need to have a comprehensive understanding of his physical condition, so I have arranged adaptive training in the past few days, which is more helpful for us to understand his condition." Craig responded.

"Really? Hopefully, as you say. Shen Mengfei's tone was slightly cold, and then she said with a straight face: "I don't care what the reason for your arrangement, but Lin Feng must play in this game!" ”

"This ......" Hearing this, Craig couldn't help frowning, and his face became a little ugly.

"You may not know it, but in our Premier League club owners will never interfere with the coaching." Craig said in a deep voice.

'I'm not trying to interfere with your coaching, I just want the team to win, I don't want to just take over the team and we'll be out of the Champions League.' Shen Mengfei responded coldly.

"I'm doing it now so that the team can win." Craig didn't budge.

"No, you didn't send the strongest lineup of the team, only Lin Feng is the strongest in us." Shen Mengfei said in a firm tone: "Let Lin Feng appear, just take it as my order!" ”

"Orders? We're just a partnership, and that's not the right word. "Craig was-for-tat.

"Oh, is it? If that's the case, I will consider another person to coach my team, as far as I know, you were the assistant coach of the team half a year ago, and it was the head coach who left you to have a chance, so now maybe their opportunity has come......" Shen Mengfei glanced at Craig with a sneer, and then pointed to the team's assistant coach Benedy, Walsh and others sitting in the back row.

"This ......" Craig still wanted to refute, but seeing Shen Mengfei's attitude so resolute, he still hesitated, although he is the head coach of the team, to put it bluntly, he is also a part-time worker, especially his qualifications are too shallow, and if the head coach opportunity that he can't wait for is lost like this, it will really outweigh the losses.

"Okay, I'll arrange it, but now that the starting line-up and tactics have been decided, I'll put him off the bench." Craig relented.

"Substitutes?" Shen Mengfei frowned and thought for a while, then nodded: "It's okay, but it's not too late." ”

"yes, I see." Craig nodded reluctantly.

……

It's another Sunday.

In the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Leicester City's match against Atletico Madrid came as scheduled.

The Calderón Stadium, one of the five-star stadiums selected by UEFA, has a capacity of more than 55,000 people, and is the home of Atletico Madrid.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

With half an hour to go, the Calderón stadium was already packed, and Atletico Madrid fans were cheering on the team with various banners.

Seven fifteen.

At the beginning of the entrance ceremony, the away Leicester City team entered first, because it was a substitute player, Lin Feng's entry order was very high, however, when he played, the fans on the scene still cheered very warmly, although the city is known as the city of football, but there are not a few people who love basketball, Lin Feng's god-level performance in the NBA last season naturally attracted countless fans, therefore, when he appeared at Calderon Stadium, the fans on the scene still gave him enough face.

BBC commentary seats.

Tom and Perkins came to the scene, and they were surprised to see Lin Feng appear and cause such a big cheer.

"Oh, I didn't expect Lin Feng to be so popular here."

"Yes, he's very popular and it seems that the fans in Madrid love basketball too."

The two teased.

Adjacent to the BBC Sport commentary booth is the commentary booth of Spanish national television.

Commenting on the scene was Conado, a well-known football commentator on Spanish national television, and Lucio, a well-known coach in Spain.

"Lin Feng appeared in the squad, it seems that he has a chance to play today." Conado said with a smile: "Personally, I am very much looking forward to seeing Lin Feng's performance, after all, I am a die-hard fan of him, of course, a basketball fan." ”

"I think you're going to be disappointed, according to the media's understanding, Craig didn't let Lin Feng train with the team at all, that is, he is likely to not be able to get the chance to play." Lucio continued: "But when it comes to basketball, the NBA without Lin Feng is really boring, and this year's playoffs are not as good as last year. ”

"Of course, last year's playoffs were exciting, oh, what an aftertaste." Conado spread his hands: "Wait, we're in the Champions League, it's better not to talk about football, haha, if our opponent on the basketball court is Lin Crazy, then, our team is really going to be unlucky, but fortunately, it's a football game now." ”

"Oh, you're right, on the green field, Lin Crazy will not have that kind of strength, but playing both the NBA and the Champions League, Lin Crazy has created an unprecedented record." Lucio smiled and shrugged.
