1.067 Inspirational Legend Vardy

Li Chengfeng looked at the two familiar names in the Leicester City team on the field - Kasper Schmeichel and Jamie Vardy, and couldn't help but feel a wave of pride in his heart. If Leicester can work miracles and Vardy can change his life, why can't he do it? I have a natural ability like GoldenEye, and I have the help of a system, although this system is a little unreliable, but if I can work as hard as Vardy and Casper, there is no reason why I should not succeed. Li Chengfeng clenched his fist and strengthened his determination.

Now Li Chengfeng has obtained the FA Level 2 coaching qualification, and he still wants to continue the UEFA B level exam, with this certificate he can be the head coach of an amateur football club, or an assistant coach of a professional team, but that first requires the club's coaching experience, England is an old-fashioned country, and it will take some time for Li Chengfeng to participate in the assessment, even if his ability is good.

Lee Seung-bong decided to check out the Steel Club at Storz Bridge, and it would be even better if he could get a coaching job there. This club is the club where inspirational legend Jamie Vardy debuted on the pitch, and Lee Seung-bong hopes that he can work as hard as he should get to where he should be.

Lee spent some time at the Steel Club at Storch Bridge and wanted to know more about Vardy's life here.

Just a few miles from Sheffield, it's an amateur club, but the people here are passionate and loyal, and their small stadium with a capacity of a few hundred people is often full when there is a game, and this small club is the life of the fans who live here.

This club is the club where the inspirational legend Vardy debuted, although he is long gone, there are still legends about him, people still talk about his hard work, his tenacity, his bravery, and his goals, and many people come here every year to visit the places where he fought, to hear about the hardships of his struggle, and to inspire himself to move forward. Among them is Li Chengfeng, who listens to such inspirational stories every day, even if a pig will work harder.

Lee Seung-peak has strengthened his belief here, and now, he is going to pursue his goals, and he has traveled to London, the most developed area of English football, where there are more teams and more opportunities, whether as a coach, a scout, or an agent.

However, as a Chinese, it is really difficult to find a job in England, the birthplace of modern football, and in the eyes of the British, Chinese and football are two separate things. In the end, Li Chengfeng still relied on the recommendation of the lecturer during the previous training period to find a newly established amateur club near London to join the London team, which can be regarded as a place to settle down and accumulate experience.

United London is also a strange team, he is a team that does not have a managerial position, it is strange enough.

Their game schedule invites fans to choose the starters and game formations they would most like to see in a weekly online poll, and fans can follow game day and training videos on the team's official website, as well as a variety of data tools including player heat maps to keep track of the players' information and status.

In England, more than 700 young players are released from their professional league youth contracts every year, and the club was formed to give a chance to those who have been abandoned by professional league teams.

Kem Izzet, the director of United London, who has played 400 professional league games with Colchester FC, believes Vardy's experience will be an inspiration to those amateurs: "If Vardy's experience can inspire thousands of amateur players to play professionally again, it would be fantastic. ”

The team even brought in Lee Chapman, who looks very similar to Jamie Vardy, to manage the team. They have also received help from the Football Careers Centre (FCC) in the United Kingdom, who will help analyse whether a player has the ability to play in the professional league. If they are good enough, the FCC will help them get into the Pro League team.

Similar philosophies resonate deeply with this small club, where he finds like-minded partners and loves the working atmosphere, although he doesn't have much income, but who cares. Not only that, but the management of this small club is also very relaxed, and Li Chengfeng has plenty of free time to wander around London, looking for those untapped gems.

However, it is more difficult for a Chinese to be an agent in the UK than to be a coach, and those talented teenagers and professional players are almost divided between English agents, even in the fifth tier of the league, there are many agents watching. And no player is willing to change the door to a Chinese who has just arrived in the UK, so Li Chengfeng can only look for opportunities in the lower leagues. But it's really difficult, amateur players don't need agents, and Lee Seung-bong is also targeting players who have the potential to play in the professional league, or even the Championship, which is even more difficult.

However, he later signed two players who were still eye-catching, one was Josh Gordon, a 22-year-old striker for the Starf Rovers in the sixth division, who was fast and skilled in shooting and could play both wide and forward positions. He came through Stoke City's academy but was unable to secure a professional contract before moving to Stave Rovers.

The other player is 20-year-old left-back Bramore of Heidnisford Town FC in the seventh tier. He was a full-time employee at the Bentley factory last season, having only come out to train and compete during the holidays.

Both players have agents, and they didn't want to change the door at first, but Lee Seung-peak impressed them with his sincerity, as well as the pound. As amateur players, they don't earn much, and they often have to work to support themselves, like Bramall, who is also a full-time employee at a Bentley car factory with a salary of £400 a week, and only comes out to train and play during holidays.

Lee Seung-pong was willing to pay this money so that he could concentrate on training and playing to improve himself, and successfully signed the two young men. Li Chengfeng's approach made their agents think that he was crazy, and the agents of amateur players could not get any oil and water from the players, and they had to spend energy and resources to do the kind of sales promotion that may not be effective in their lifetime, which is already a loss-making thing. A person like Li Chengfeng who invests such a large sum of money before he has an income is not an idiot, that is, the two players do have extraordinary talent. However, they could not see that these two players would have such talent, and if they did, they would not have stayed in a league at this level for a long time.

However, this did not prevent them from protesting to Li Chengfeng, and even threatened to sue him in the hope of obtaining a compensation, but Li Chengfeng still persuaded them to cooperate with him to run the two young men. They were responsible for marketing the two youngsters to clubs in England, and Lee Seung-summit gave them a hefty commission, no less than when they were agents.

The two agents agreed to Lee's suggestion and became partners with Lee's agency. This is also something that can't be helped, the agent contract of amateur players is not formal, and even if they go to court, they will not get much compensation, it is better to be like this. And Lee's Chinese background has also helped him, and they are interested in the idea of Lee Chengfeng operating players to play in China.

"The level of the Chinese league is very low, and players at the level of the Championship can play the main role in many of the teams in China's top league, but even the income level of foreign players in the Chinese league is much higher than the income of most Championship players now." Li Chengfeng tempted the two agents, "The Chinese football market is a big cake, even if we only get a small part of it, it is a lot of money." ”

The two agents agreed to work with Lee Seung-bong, but they were also low-level agents working hard in the amateur league and did not have satisfactory players on hand, but this was also a direction, and they had the momentum to move forward.

Lee Seung-bong is also bullish on League Two Luton side Jack Marriot. Although League Two is only the fourth tier of the English league, and Mariott does not score many goals, Lee Seung-peak feels that he is very capable and can have a place in League One and even the Championship.

Mariott is fast, has excellent shooting skills, has a balanced left and right feet, has a strong ability to run without the ball, has a strong ability to shoot directly without making adjustments, and has a relatively selfless style of play, making him an excellent team player. However, the passing is average, the vision is average, the ability to dribble the ball is even worse, and the ability to create opportunities by himself is considered a downstream level. To put it simply, he is a good pie-eating striker, and such a player needs the cooperation of his teammates to play, but there are no such players in the Luton team, and the performance is generally understandable. However, Lee Seung-peak has the golden eye to see his stats, and it feels like a weakened version of Darren Bent.

However, Marriott already has an agent, and he is not interested in a Chinese being his agent, especially since Li Chengfeng has only been in the UK for less than two years, how can it help him?

Marriott is already a professional player, and with a regular income, Lee Seung-peak can't convince him the way he treats amateur players. However, Li Chengfeng directly approached his agent McCaw and reached a cooperation with him: McCaw is responsible for the transfer in the UK, while Li Chengfeng is in charge of the transfer in the foreign region, and the two sides will distribute the commission proportionally according to the way of cooperation.

McCaw agreed very happily, in his opinion, Li Chengfeng is still too weak, if he didn't want to open up China, a market full of opportunities, he would not be interested in cooperating with Li Chengfeng at all. But it is precisely because of Li Chengfeng's weakness that he dares to cooperate with Li Chengfeng, otherwise if Mariott is pried away by Li Chengfeng, where will he cry.
