Chapter 19: Effenberg's Guest
The VIP chapter of this book has been written to the 98 World Cup in France, Lao Bing I am very emotional, so I found a MV for the World Cup that year, and I will show you again, see the picture link below
--------------------------
Out of the stadium, Effenberg walked towards a silver BMW, opened the door directly, and beckoned Ling Feng to come over.
Ling Feng sat in the back seat and looked at the man in the driver's seat wearing a sun hat and a pair of black-rimmed sunglasses.
Judging from the height of his sitting, he was about the same height as Ling Feng, the hair exposed under the sun hat was mixed with a faint blonde, coupled with the high bridge of his nose, Ling Feng could conclude that he was a European and not very old.
"Hello, Ling, nice to meet you." The young man took off his hat and sunglasses, turned back to Ling Feng and smiled.
Seeing his appearance clearly, Ling Feng gasped and blurted out, "Brian Laudrup?!" ”
Fighting tigers does not leave their own brothers, and fathers and sons are needed to go into battle.
Of course, it is basically impossible for a father and son to compete on the same field, but it is also rare to see a tiger father without a dog, the most famous of which is Maldini and his son.
However, as brothers competing in the same game, this makes fans even more excited, the most famous of which are the Charlton brothers in England, the de Boer brothers in the Netherlands and the Laudrup brothers in Denmark, but the most talked about by fans among these pairs of brothers is the Laudrup brothers from Denmark.
However, the difference between the brothers and others is that they basically did not play side by side much, the two never played for the same club at the same time, and even at the Euro 92 championships, the elder brother Michel Laudrup was not angry with the national team, and it was Laudrup Jr. who brought the Danish team to the altar with great power.
It wasn't until the '98 World Cup that the Laudrup brothers went out together and went all the way to the quarterfinals, but they met a strong Brazilian team, but with the efforts of the brothers, the match with Brazil became one of the most exciting games of that World Cup.
"Hey, hey," Effenberg smirked, "why are you so surprised?" ”
Can you not be surprised? For Ling Feng, little Laudrup is the God of Wealth, if he hadn't led the Danish team in 92 to "be the last to come and take away the biggest piece of cake", where would Ling Feng get so much money?
"Uh......, didn't I hear you two quarrel? Why is the relationship still so good? Ling Feng asked curiously, I heard that when the two played together in Florence, Laudrup Jr. bought himself a Mercedes-Benz SL after winning the European Cup in 1992, and Effenberg took the car keys from the hotel service desk without his consent, and told Brian about it after returning from the drive. It was precisely because of this incident that the friendship ended after the two argued for 15 minutes.
"You're talking about borrowing a car?" Little Laudrup laughed: "Am I so stingy? I've had more than three cars wrecked by Stephen. ”
"You still say you're not stingy!" Effenberg interjected: "Then drive this car for me now!" ”
"No way!" Little Laudrup shook his head like a wave drum: "I can't give it to you anymore, I bought this car newly!" ”
Ling Feng knew in his heart, and couldn't help but feel like a confidant, it turned out that Effenberg, like himself, liked to steal his teammate's car and drive, say it earlier!
Little Laudrup looked at Ling Feng's fiery eyes, and hurriedly coughed twice: "I said Stephen, we have something to do to find Ling today, don't delay the business." ”
Just kidding, an Effenberg is already a headache, plus Ling Feng, the king of the car, does he still want this car?
Little Laudrup's words really diverted the attention of the two, and Ling Feng asked curiously, "What are you looking for me?" ”
The two glanced at each other and said in unison, "You'll know when the time comes!" ”
Little Laudrup was speeding through the streets of Menxing City with a familiar car, and Effenberg on the side always complained that he was driving too slowly, which made Ling Feng think so.
Little Laudrup shivered and muttered, "Two perverts!" ”
Finally arrived at the destination, it was another bar, Ling Feng couldn't figure out why foreigners always liked to come to the bar, couldn't they find other places to chat except the bar?
The three of them found a private room, ordered a few dozen authentic German stouts, and sat down on the sofa.
Ling Feng suddenly remembered something and asked Little Laudrup, "Brian, aren't you a Glasgow Ranger?" How did you come from Scotland to Germany? ”
"I'm injured," Laudrup Jr. smiled, "I had a calf muscle strain, and my doctor advised me to rest for a while, and it just so happened that I was going to Germany to buy a car, so I came here, and Stephen also had something to do with me." ”
"So what the hell are you looking for me?" This question had plagued Ling Feng all the way, and he couldn't think of what these two guys were going to do with him.
Laudrup and Effenberg glanced at each other, and both saw the hesitation in each other's eyes, after all, this request is indeed too much for a player, but in terms of ability and freedom of transfer, only Ling Feng can achieve the wishes of the two of them.
"Ling, I want to ask you," Effenberg finally spoke, "where will you go next season?" ”
"Huh?" Ling Feng didn't expect this to be this question, so he could only answer honestly: "If the Hamburg team doesn't win the league championship, I will continue to stay in Hamburg, if Hamburg wins the championship, then I will leave, as for where to go, the team hasn't thought of it yet." ”
"You're going to Serie A, aren't you?" Little Laudrup asked, not knowing if it was an illusion, Ling Feng saw a trace of heat in his eyes.
"I'll go to Serie A, it's a small World Cup, of course I'll go." Ling Feng replied with a smile, but found that the expressions of the two people in front of him were surprisingly serious, and he immediately swallowed the second half of the words into his stomach.
"So which team are you going back to?" Effenberg then asked.
"Well, probably Inter Milan, after all, they haven't won the Serie A title in eight years, what?" Ling Feng looked at the two of them with somewhat frustrated expressions, suddenly jumped up, pointed at the two of them and said in a trembling voice: "I know, you, you want me, you want me to go to Florence!" ”
In the 92-93 season, Fiorentina had superstars such as Barty, Effenberg, and Laudrup Jr., but was unexpectedly relegated to the second division, after which Laudrup Jr. and Effenberg chose to leave, while Barty still stayed in Fiorentina without regrets.
Although he left Fiorentina, the relationship between the several people is still very good, in 2001 when Bayern lifted the European Champions Cup after a 25-year absence, the joyful Effenberg couldn't contain his excitement and called Batistuta: "Old man, remember when we agreed, I finally waited for this day, it's up to you." ”
"Yes," Effenberg said solemnly, "I know this may be too much, but I really hope that Gabriel can lift a Serie A trophy for Fiorentina." ”
"We can't go back," Laudrup Jr. continued: "Especially Stephen, he can't run at all when his contract doesn't expire, I want to be better, after all, Glasgow Rangers are not big clubs, if Fiorentina are willing to pay, I'm sure Rangers will agree to the loan, unfortunately ......"
Laudrup Jr. spread his hands: "The Fiorentina president is a stingy guy, he can't afford to invest a lot of money in the club. ”
"Bang!" A wine bottle slammed into the wall, and Ling Feng looked at it in surprise, it was Effenberg, this blonde-haired guy now had a hideous face, as if he was about to explode at any moment.
"Stephen, calm down, you're scared Ling!" Little Laudrup pulled Effenberg's arm and shouted.
"I'm sorry, Ling." Effenberg calmed down for a moment before he said: "Every time I mention the president of Florence, I get angry, whether it is the dead Cechi Gouri or the current de la Valle, what ****** it is!" If it weren't for vampires like them, with our strength at the time, we would definitely have won the Serie A championship, but the result was good, ****** the championship was not won, but fell into the second division! ”
Ling Feng still heard a little about the history of Florence during that period, at this time Laudrup Jr. explained on the side that in the 92-93 season, at that time, Fiorentina had Batistuta, Laudrup Jr., Effenberg, Canasciali and Bayano five top stars, collectively known as the "Five Tigers", but because the then Florentina chairman Cecchi Gouri thought that the son of the team manager seduced his wife, he fired the head coach in a fit of anger. In exchange for a guy who is said to be an announcer, he took on the position of head coach of the team, and the result can be imagined......
"You want me to go to Fiorentina and win the Serie A title with Batistuta?" Ling Feng frowned, "Although Fiorentina now has Batistuta and Rui Costa, there are many strong teams in Serie A, I'm not sure!" ”
When the two of them saw Ling Feng say this, they both lowered their heads, in comparison, it was indeed Inter Milan who was a little more powerful, and they also felt that their request was a bit excessive.
"However," Ling Feng suddenly changed his words, "The more difficult things are, the happier I am, otherwise I would just go to Bayern Munich and come to the Hamburg team for nothing?" ”
"What?" The two were overjoyed: "You mean you agreed?" ”
"No, no, no," Ling Feng smiled: "Actually, the ones I want most in Serie A are Inter Milan and Fiorentina, but what I just said is also the truth, just me, Batistuta and Rui Costa are not enough to lift the Serie A championship trophy, but if you add the two of you, it will be foolproof!" ”
The eyes of Laudrup Jr. and Effenberg shot a ray of hope, but it soon dimmed again, and Laudrup Jr. said: "Ling, we are different from you, among all the players, you are the most free, you can go to any team you want to go to, which is why the two of us are looking for you, but we are different, we have a contract with the club, even if you want to leave, you can't go!" ”
Effenberg continued: "Brian has just said that the president of Florence is notoriously picky, not to mention spending money to buy us, even if he asks him to pay for us to loan, I'm afraid he will not be reluctant." ”
"They can't be blamed for that," Laudrup Jr. interjected: "Fiorentina's economic strength has been sluggish, and there is no way to compare with giants like Milan and Juventus. ”
"I think the chairman is too mediocre!" Effenberg pouted: "Only Gabriel will continue to squat there stupidly, and when Cheech Gouri died, he also went to help carry the coffin of that guy, if it were me, it would be nice if I didn't fish that guy out and rub his bones and ashes!" ”
Little Laudrup was speechless, if it wasn't for Cechie Gori at that time, they would have won the Serie A title, but the dead are the greatest, and it's hard to say anything now.
"You're saying that Florence's economy isn't doing well, right?" Ling Feng suddenly raised his head and asked.
"Yes! The debt is high, and the team's record has been fluctuating, only Gabriel is there alone, if it weren't for this, Fiorentina would have been bankrupt a long time ago, no fans want to support such a team without results, Gabriel is giving Fiorentina fans the last hope. Little Laudrup said with a sigh.
"Didn't they erect a bronze statue of Gabriel?" Effenberg said with a smile, but the indescribable depression in his tone, was it regret, or something else?
"Bronze statue?" Ling Feng was stunned in his heart, in his previous life, he admired Batistuta very much, in addition to his excellent skills and his incomparable loyalty, it is for this reason that Fiorentina fans will erect a bronze statue of Batty next to the Frankie Stadium, but as Batty grows old, he has never been able to get a Serie A trophy for himself.
Finally, in 2000, he announced that he would leave Fiorentina to join Roma, and that year he won the only Serie A trophy of his career.
Angry Fiorentina fans thought that Barty had abandoned them, and they pushed the bronze statue that they had erected with their own hands, and they pushed the god of war that they loved so much.
Ling Feng couldn't forget Barty's sad words: "I'm not in it for money, I just want to win a championship, is it wrong?" It is impossible to forget that when he returned to the Fiorentina stadium, Barty scored the winning goal with his own hands, but at that moment, Barty did not cheer, but slowly shed tears......
"Since you think that the biggest obstacle to Florence is President de la Valle's words," Ling Feng slowly stood up, turned his back to the two of them, and said leisurely out of the window, "Then I'll let Della Valle get out of class." ”
