Chapter 325: The Undercurrent Before the Final (Part I)

In the past few days, many sports media have been enthusiastically looking forward to the final game of Asian football of the year.

Even the Japanese media, which did not have a domestic team to qualify for the final, put a lot of effort into the report. Seoul FC's training ground is often crowded with reporters and fans who come to inquire about it.

After all, there are good reasons to look forward to this game.

Seoul FC is not to mention, this season twice against Japanese teams, whether it is Osaka Gamba or Kashima Antlers failed to take advantage, among which the outstanding performance of Li Xuyan even won the appreciation of Japanese fans, for their performance in the final, Japanese fans are very interested.

Another final team, Saudi Arabian tycoon Ittihad, is not small, they were the champions of the AFC Champions League in 2004 and 2005, which is an unprecedented feat, especially in 2005, they also brought a very deep impression to Chinese fans - that year, the Chinese Shandong LN team, which was in its heyday, won all six games in the group stage and advanced strongly, but met Ittihad in the round of 8, but was kicked out of the game with a shocking defeat of 2:7 away from home.

Such a strong dialogue between East and West Asia has really whetted people's appetites, and it can be called the strongest showdown in Asia.

The attention of high spotlight naturally makes Li Xuyan's fame more and more now, and there are naturally more and more things of all kinds.

The most typical is ...... Teams are starting to dig into the corners of Seoul FC!

……

At the hotel where the team is staying.

The club's general manager, Heo Yongchang, who accompanied the team, watched the praise of Seoul's core Lee Wook Yan in the local newspaper in Tokyo, and his heart was bleeding......

When Li Xuyan's smiling tiger agent Che Zhenman put forward a request for an annual salary of two million US dollars, Xu Yongchang didn't say anything on his lips, but he had closed the door to negotiate a contract renewal in his heart.

But as if he was deliberately trying to make it difficult for him, he didn't renew the contract here, but Li Xuyan's fame over there is increasing day by day. It's the same as the renewal half a year ago. He felt like he was sitting in the crater again.

After the FA Cup final two days ago, Güneş called him, hoping that the club would spare Li Xuyan at all costs. Even if the other party has to leave sooner or later, he must complete the contract extension, even if it is to keep him for another season......

Isn't that what makes it difficult for him? People have already used this way to show that they are not willing to renew the contract, what else can they do? Last time, I was able to use the trick of raising my salary. Can it go up this time?

Even if it can go up! But he knew it wasn't just about money, it was about people who didn't want to stay.

As a qualified manager, this is not the time to find a way to retain, it is futile. When the time comes, time and energy are wasted, and instead of staying, people miss the perfect opportunity.

What is the perfect opportunity?

A great opportunity to make a fortune at a sky-high asking price. You must know that when Li Xuyan joined Seoul, they didn't spend a penny of transfer fees, and now they sell it to make a net profit!

If he was Güneshi, he would send Li Xuyan out quickly, while he could still make more money. Then use the money earned from selling him to buy a few powerful but not well-known players to supplement the team.

Instead of dragging on like now. It's not good for both parties. As Li Xuyan's performance gets better and better, everyone knows that the "small temple" of Seoul FC can no longer leave this big Buddha.

But at the moment of the war, how do you say it to Güneš...... Güneshi is too persistent in liking Li Xuyan.

Just then, the phone rang on his desk.

"Mr. Xu, a European club asked us for Li Xuyan's offer."

Xu Yongchang was suddenly in good spirits!

……

"Woo Yeon, you turned down the opportunity to renew your contract with Seoul FC. So have you figured out where to go? "At the end of the day's training, we went back to the hotel. Ji Chengyong, who lived in the same room with Li Xuyan, talked with him about the future with great interest.

"If you want to go, of course, Europe!" Li Xuyan thought about it. And again, "It's better to be a big club!" ”

"Are you sure?" Ji Chengyong was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically.

"Why would I have to leave?" In Li Xuyan's heart, the teams he is familiar with are all European football clubs, and only such teams have the meaning of joining.

Now he has a reputation in Asia. Of course, I want to go to Europe to develop.

It's like the famous saying: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier". If you don't want to go to Europe, it proves that you don't want football.

Why do some players who join a club like Real Madrid always say, "It was my childhood dream to play for Real Madrid"? It's not just because of joining the top European giants, success in the giants is the common goal of all motivated players.

Therefore, Li Xuyan naturally hopes to play in big European teams, especially those giants who can make people's blood boil at the mention of their names.

If you don't think about whether you can go for the time being, you don't think about whether people want to be yourself. Just think about whether you want to ...... There is no need to hesitate at all, who wouldn't want to?

But Ji Chengyong said a little gloomily: "Hmm...... I wanted to go too, but it's been a few years since I debuted, and no European team has made a good offer to me......"

"Won't it?" Hearing Ji Chengyong say this, Li Xuyan was a little surprised.

"There have been teams in contact, but none of them have worked out......"

"But this time it's different, Chengyong, if we can win the Asian championship and stand on the stage of the Club World Cup, I believe our strength will be seen by the European football club!" Li Xuyan patted Ji Chengyong's shoulder and encouraged, "When the time comes, there will definitely be a chance!" ”

"Also, I was in the K-League before, who in Europe would know about me! This time I'm going to show the whole world! After Ji Chengyong's short loss, pride was also ignited.

In the past, the goal was too far away and I didn't feel it, but now it's time to really hope, Li Xuyan and Ji Chengyong really think about it, the more excited they become, the more they talk, the more speculative they become, after all, going to the mainstream European league is really a special scenery and a particularly long-faced thing, salary and everything is secondary, the key is that it is the most high-profile stage, and if you have the opportunity to participate in higher-level competitions, the media exposure will also increase greatly, and his popularity and fame will surge.

Especially for the big teams that can easily watch the game in Asia, everyone only needs to turn on the TV and be able to watch their game. He is now playing in the Korean league, and although the Chinese media will also cover it, he will never see the game. What's the point of watching the news after the fact, of course, you have to watch the live broadcast of the football game!

If you go to a major European league, you can be considered a real star, and in Asia, you are only an Asian star. The impact of Asian football in the whole world is really poor. Some people say that South Korea is one of the strongest football powers in Asia, but so what? The major European leagues know very little about the Korean league, and most of them only have their eyes on Asia for commercial reasons, and most of them have little interest.

So as long as you stay in Seoul, you can't get on that stage.

……

South Korean media also began to appear in the news that Li Xuyan wanted to leave, and for a while, the popularity was on par with the news attention of the AFC Champions League final. Li Xuyan left Seoul, who is the happiest? Of course, it's the other teams in Korea!

Since this Li Xuyan came to the K League, it has disturbed the entire Korean football circle. The original heroes from all walks of life were all suppressed by Seoul.

Well, now that the league championship was snatched by Seoul FC, and Seoul FC has also become the representative of Korean football in the AFC Champions League, several giants of Korean football such as Suwon Samsung, Jeonbuk Hyundai, and Pohang Steelers can only watch Seoul be in the limelight everywhere, and that kind of taste is extremely unbearable.

Therefore, as soon as the news revealed that Li Xuyan did not renew his contract with Seoul FC, other Korean clubs were as excited as chicken blood and pushed hard, for fear that he would not leave.

……

Where to go to this kind of thing, Li Xuyan can only think about it now, anyway, this kind of thing must be handed over to the agent to operate.

There is only one thing he can concentrate on now, and that is the AFC Champions League final, which is a crucial step in his ability to get to the next level, and he has worked exceptionally the training pitch to achieve that goal.

Li Xuyan's state and strength made Güneshi both pleased and surprised.

Having such thighs is an important guarantee for Seoul FC to stand on the top of Asia, and Güneş has even begun to think about the Club World Cup at the end of the year.

He wanted more and more to persuade Li Xuyan to stay and create a dynasty belonging to Seoul.

But at this time, the team's general manager Xu Yongchang brought him bad news on the sidelines of the team's training ground.

"Coach Güneş, we have received offers from two teams for Li Xuyan."

Güneš was stunned for a moment, then reacted. This didn't surprise him too much, because he knew that this was the way it should be. Since Li Xuyan did not choose to renew his contract, it is hell that he can't attract the attention of other teams with his outstanding performance.

"Which two?" He asked, a little heavy. (To be continued.) )
