was disturbed by Che Zhenman's big mouth, and Li Xuyan's contract renewal negotiations with the club were naturally terminated. Of course, what Xu Yongchang said to Güneshi was a "temporary pause", and the door to contract renewal was not closed.

Güneshi was a little anxious, he really wanted to keep Li Xuyan, but he seemed to have no reason and ability to persuade Li Xuyan to stay. After all, the career of a football player is relatively short, and it is normal for people to want to go to a high place, with the performance of this season, how can a genius like Lee Wook Yan stay in the Korean league all the time? Even if it is not uncommon for European teams to have a high vision, with his current popularity in Asia, it is believed that a large number of local tycoon teams will wave cheques to lure him to join, which is simply impossible to compete with South Korean teams with an increasingly tight bank. And if the team wins the AFC Champions League, it can also participate in the World Club Cup, and if Li Xuyan performs well on that stage, then the whole world can pay attention to him......

When the time comes, what capital will Seoul FC have to convince him to stay?

Güneş intends to lead his team to the AFC Champions League, but at the same time he knows that this is a very paradoxical thing - when his team reaches the top of Asia, it will not be far off from the fate of poaching the core of his team......

He can only make the best use of Li Xuyan's time in the team now.

If Li Xuyan insists on not signing with the club, then the club will definitely not wait until the end of next year after his contract expires and let him leave on a free transfer, so the only result is to sell Li Xuyan in this winter transfer window, so that he can still earn some transfer fees.

And because Li Xuyan's contract expires at the end of next year, it means that on July 1 next year, he can bypass Seoul FC and negotiate freely with other clubs. Once his personal contract is negotiated, he just has to wait until the end of the season. You will be able to join the team as a free agent in the new season.

At that time, Seoul FC will definitely be empty of people and money.

So in order to prevent this from happening, Seoul FC has to desperately find a home for Li Xuyan, and the best time is the winter window after the season.

Güneš suddenly felt that it was a pity, this was the most proud protégé of his coaching career, but he only played under him for a year, and was about to leave?

……

The managers and coaches of FC Seoul will be racking their brains for the future of the team. But the team's season is not over yet, the pace of progress will not stop, and the ultimate goal of winning the AFC Champions League has not yet been achieved! Before that, though, they have a domestic FA Cup final to play. This is also the second of the triple crowns that Li Xuyan said before the season.

This time, it was Pohang Steelers that made a mistake.

Pohang Steelers, who had just been eliminated by Seoul in the AFC Champions League, felt like they had broken into a ghost......

Because the FA Cup has always been less important than the league and the AFC Champions League, the teams in the K League are often based on substitute training, considering that Li Xuyan has been fighting continuously during this period of time, and the schedule is intensive, so Güneshi did not let Li Xuyan start in this final. Not only him, but also some of the main players did not play.

However, after Li Xuyan learned about this arrangement, he went to Güneş's room to find him, and told him that he was not tired at all and was willing to carry more burdens for the team. After all, no matter how chicken he is, it's a final, and he wants to show his face more when he has the opportunity......

But Güneş is unfazed, after all, the AFC Champions League final, which will be played in a week's future, is the most important thing. So I still insisted on letting him be a substitute. He said to Li Xuyan: "You always have to give Zheng Guoguo a chance to play, Xu Yan?" ”

Everyone is almost forgetting about this sad South Korean striker. When he first came to the team, he was an absolute mainstay, but now he has been reduced to an iron bench and is almost forgotten.

Li Xuyan saw that the head coach had brought out Zheng Guoguo, and it was difficult to say anything.

Now I have to wear a thick coat and huddle on the bench to watch my teammates play on the field.

Pohang Steelers FC does not have the AFC Champions League final to play, and this game can be described as the main force except for the foreign players who have been released in advance. I just want to be ashamed.

So sure enough, the game was the dominant Pohang first, and in the 20th minute, Lu Bingjun scored with a header to help Pohang take the lead.

However, Pohang did not have long to be happy, and Seoul FC equalized in the 39th minute by Seo Sung-hoon. After all, Seoul has been holding back for too long. It's easy to get the opportunity to prove yourself, and they are all like chicken blood, desperate.

Under the influence of multiple psychological blows, the main players can no longer mention their hard work in this chicken-like FA Cup, and more and more people have no intention of fighting.

As a result, in the second half, Seoul FC, which played as a young substitute, had the advantage!

At this time, Güneş finally called Li Xuyan, who was warming up behind the goal, and sent him to come on as a substitute.

He replaced Zheng Guoguo, who performed really averagely.

As soon as he came on the field, Seoul's attack became sharper.

In the eightieth minute, the frantic attack finally paid off.

"Seoul FC moves forward...... Gao Mingzhen passed the football to Xu Shengxun, who retreated to answer, and Xu Shengxun divided the side and gave it to Gao Yao Han...... Wide cross! Lee Seung-yeol! His shot was saved by the goalkeeper...... But that's not all! Li Xuyan! He appeared in ...... Goal!! ”

The football that was saved by the goalkeeper, as if he had found an eye, took the initiative to fly in front of Li Xuyan, at this time, the defenders in the penalty area were following Li Shenglie, and the goalkeeper also fell to the ground, almost an empty goal in front of him!

Such an opportunity is not difficult for Li Xuyan, who has a good foot wind, he stretches his feet and tries to relax his body...... Then shoot at the ball!

The football flew like a cannonball to the goalkeeper!

The goalkeeper watched the ball fly over and wanted to get up from the ground to block the ball, but the speed of the ball was too fast!

When a shot is close at hand, many people will choose to give it a light push, so that the chance of scoring a goal is the highest. But Li Xuyan was like a long-range shot, and he rounded his thighs before he shot out.

Fortunately, there were no defenders around him at this time, otherwise he would have had such a long preparation time, and he was afraid that he would not end up playing football. It's the defender's outstretched foot......

The football lifted the net fiercely, as if all Li Xuyan's depression was vented.

Li Xuyan's goal helped the team win in the last minute, a thrilling 2:1.

Seoul FC has once again brought Pohang deep damage.

Güneš was not very happy with the team's performance, and he felt that this game should not be so tough, even if it was a substitute game. And you shouldn't be the last to seal the win.

He was worried that at the end of the season, everyone would inevitably start to relax a little, so he didn't celebrate when he won the second championship, and continued to train, and increased his training efforts, all for the final AFC Champions League final.

When everyone was being drilled and complained, only Li Xuyan did not complain at all - he was more eager than anyone else to win the final AFC Champions League! This is the final step of the Treble, the first step towards achieving his dream, and the most important. This is also the key weight for him to change jobs!

After traveling a hundred miles and a half, whether the season can end perfectly depends on the last trembling.

……

Early November, Tokyo, Japan.

This will be the venue for this year's AFC Champions League final.

After the FA Cup, the Seoul team stayed at their home base for two days before heading to Tokyo, this time five days ahead of schedule to prepare for the match, reflecting the importance of the club. It is by no means comparable to domestic competitions.

The AFC deliberately scheduled the final in Japan, although subjectively due to the fact that most of the major sponsors were from Japan. But objectively, it is convenient for Seoul, which is across the sea. After all, the other team that made it to the final was the Saudi giants who needed to fly halfway around the world - Ittihad.

However, this advantage is insignificant. Everyone understands that if Seoul FC has reached the highest achievement in South Korea by winning the domestic double before, then this game will determine whether they can continue to climb upward, stand at the top of Asia, and become the king of all Asia.

Asian champion! For Koreans who value self-esteem more than anything else. It's as exciting as a chicken blood.

From the huge team of fans who saw off the fans at Incheon Airport to the countless local Korean fans who flocked to the airport in Tokyo, you can see the huge expectations of the fans for this championship.

This is the second time this year that Lee and FC Seoul have been to Japan, having last been in Osaka when they were struggling with their last hope of qualifying from the group. Now it has stepped onto the stage of Asia's highest showdown! During this time, Lee Wook-yan's progress has been huge, he has grown into the thickest and most reliable thigh of the Seoul team, and his popularity has surpassed everyone and become a well-deserved star of Seoul FC.

In the early morning, the sky was slightly drunk, and this was the time when many employees and students did not get up, but Tokyo International Airport was already surrounded by many people, and from time to time there were flashing lights, and most of these people gathered in the early morning were Korean students who spoke Korean, as well as Korean journalists who went to Japan.

Many of them are still sleepy-eyed, but they can't stop their excitement, because they will be at the airport today with the teams they support from their home countries, as well as the stars of the team's balloons, which are rarely seen.

On the plane of long-distance travel, most people will choose to rest and sleep, many players will dress more casually, uniform sportswear is the most common dress standard, but there will also be some players who like fashion to dress up according to their own personality, such as the narcissistic Ji Chengyong, and the popularity of Li Xuyan, who was forced to pay attention to clothes...... Even when they fly, they need to be very dressed.

For popular players like Li Xuyan and Ji Chengyong, dressing in public is no longer just a matter of personal taste, it directly affects their exposure reputation and the interests of the corresponding sponsored advertisers. Just like Ji Chengyong is already the brand ambassador of Levi's, his image obviously also affects the image of sponsors. And although Li Xuyan has not endorsed any fashion, but now his attention has been raised to a very high position in the fashion industry and among the people in the twenties and thirties.

"It's coming! Here it comes! A voice came out among the fans, and it spread, and under one sentence, many flashing lights lit up at the same time, and the focus was on the direction of the airport's international flight exit, and the players of Seoul FC came out one after another, until Li Xuyan appeared, and the scene erupted in the highest decibel cheers......

In the crowd, in addition to the excited and frenzied eyes of the fans, there were some people who looked at the Seoul players farther and farther away from the entrance of the tunnel with scrutinizing eyes.

One of them, a slightly chubby young man who was not very inconspicuous, his eyes stayed on Li Xuyan's body, and then he answered the phone in Chinese: "I've arrived in Tokyo, Mr. Xu, I will do my best." ”

At the same time, a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes on the other side was also staring in the direction where Li Xuyan left, as if he was thinking about something...... (To be continued.) )
