Rio Ferdinand's place in English football goes without saying.

He is the anchor of England's golden generation, the most reliable choice for Ferguson's backline, and one of the heroes who created the Red Devils dynasty, known as the "Rolls-Royce of the backline"

Not only is he physically strong and defensively aware, but more importantly, he is fast!

With both strength and speed, Ferdinand can be called England's historic centre-back!

And such a defensive superstar who has maintained a stable performance in the Premier League for many years, but after a 0-7 defeat on the same day, he suddenly announced his retirement at the end of the season in the evening?!

This tweet, as soon as it was issued, quickly rushed to the hot search on social media, and instantly attracted a lot of attention in English football!

Such a shocking move also made many media smell the smell of hot news.

Could it be that this defeat made Ferdinand completely realize that he could no longer establish himself in the top league, so he would think about retiring at the end of the season?

Or did something happen after the game that left Ferdinand disheartened and didn't want to play?

For a time, all kinds of speculations flew all over the sky.

Ferdinand's followers, as well as many fans in England, poured into his social media account and posted in the comments section of the tweet.

or express regret, or speak out to retain.

In the eyes of these fans, Rio Ferdinand's performance on the pitch brought them joy and enthusiasm.

Strictly speaking, Rio Ferdinand is not just a player they like, but more like their lost youth!

That's why they feel even more reluctant

Ling Feng, who has a mutual relationship with Ferdinand, also learned the news for the first time.

Sitting on his couch and looking at Ferdinand's tweets, Ling Feng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Mom, am I pushing too hard?

Kicked Ferdinand straight out and retired?!

After thinking about it, he felt that this possibility was not very large.

Judging by Ferdinand's personality and professional achievements, he is by no means such a glassy person.

In fact, no player who can become a world-class star is a person with a glass heart.

In the world of football, winning and losing is a common thing.

is as strong as a peerless double pride, and has also experienced shocking fiascos.

It is the experience of powerless fiascos that will make them even more eager for a hard-won victory!

If you want to retire after a fiasco, it is impossible to become a professional player with such psychological endurance!

And Rio Ferdinand is unlikely to be England's all-time best centre-back!

Therefore, Ling Feng guessed that today's fiasco and the decision to retire should not be directly related.

Besides, Ferdinand, who is already 36 years old, is also at the end of his career.

What kind of physical condition and how competitive it is, the players themselves know best.

The athletic lifespan of a professional player is in his thirties, and it is not a surprise that he will retire when he reaches the age.

After all, not every professional player has the special ability of super long standby like "Youngster" Buffon, "Sister-in-law" Thiago Silva and "Big Bongxian" Ibrahimovic.

。。。

The next day, Rio Ferdinand gave an exclusive interview to Sky Sports in London and responded to the sudden announcement of his retirement.

In the face of speculation, Ferdinand claimed that he chose to retire at the end of the season for only one reason, that is, he believes that his body and condition can no longer continue to compete in the top league!

And in this game against Leicester City, the moment Ling Feng easily passed by his side to make soup, he knew that he could no longer keep up with the pace of young people, and it was time to stop.

It is worth mentioning that after retiring last year, Beckham made a classic joke that was well known to many fans when he was interviewed by a certain media and talked about why he retired.

He said that when he was easily passed by Messi in the game, he had the idea of retiring!

Of course, this statement of the two is just a joke.

The real reason is actually that as I get older, my physical fitness and competitive condition have declined significantly, and I can't continue to play in the top league.

Moreover, I don't want to mix in secondary or lower leagues, or go to the Middle East and the Chinese Super League to retire or make money.

It's better to retire directly and start enjoying life comfortably.

He then responded that he might try other careers and jobs after retiring from the season.

However, when this exclusive interview aired, everyone ignored the rest of Ferdinand's interview and only remembered the joke!

In a sense, it was really Ling Feng who kicked Ferdinand's inner nostalgia for the green field away, thus making him decide to retire!

And Ling Feng's outstanding performance and the "Seven Joys" fiasco were just the last straw that broke the camel's back.

For a time, many media and newspapers carried out a big report.

As the saying goes, the back wave pushes the front wave, and the front wave dies on the beach!

Professional football has always been a brutal world of intense competition.

There are very few professional players who can stand in the five major leagues.

And in every season, there are people who become famous with one goal, and some people who leave the game lonely.

Today, the strongest central defender of England's golden generation has become the "stepping stone" and "background board" of today's hottest British star, which is really embarrassing.

However, there is a sense of fate that heroes are twilight and newcomers are coming out in large numbers!

After seeing this interview, Ling Feng felt that it was very necessary for him to express his attitude and greetings to Ferdinand.

So, he got Ferdinand's phone number through Rooney and called it without hesitation.

Ling Feng's call, Ferdinand was a little surprised.

On the phone, Ling Feng first expressed his respect for Ferdinand, a senior, and then clarified that he didn't mean to make soup to get past him and send him a tragedy.

For Ling Feng's explanation, Ferdinand laughed, but comforted Ling Feng, saying that he didn't do anything wrong at all, and he didn't need to care at all.

However, he explained to Ling Feng the reason for his retirement.

As early as May when he didn't renew his contract with Manchester United, he had the idea of retiring, just thinking about making one last effort to see if he could stay on a top stage like the Premier League.

However, the facts gave him a hard punch!

The strong team can't look down on the old one, and in the weak team, they can't help the team to defend solidly.

And this game against Leicester City just helped him make a decision.

A bottle of Seven Up gave Ferdinand a taste of unprecedented fiasco.

At the same time, it also made him understand that with his current competitive state, he can no longer continue to play in the top league!

And he has no idea of challenging other leagues, it is better to retire directly, return to the family, and take good care of his wife who has cancer.

That's why he announced his decision to retire at the end of the season that night.

His personality is the same as his defensive style on the field, decisive and not dragging his feet in the slightest!

。。。

After resolving the "misunderstanding" with Ferdinand, in order to celebrate the big victory with the Queens Park Rangers and to celebrate his move into his new home, Ling Feng invited the whole team to come to his new home for a party that night.

He prepares a sumptuous buffet, as well as a variety of champagnes.

Bartenders and nightclub DJs were also invited to make the whole party more vibeal.

Around seven o'clock in the evening, the mansion is brightly lit and melodious music echoes in the house.

And the guests drove all kinds of cars, one after another.

Most of my teammates brought their girlfriends or wives with them.

On the contrary, it is

Therefore, seeing Ling Feng greeting guests everywhere alone, after Vardy hugged and greeted him, he asked directly:

"Where's your model girlfriend?"

"You mean Barbara?"

"Otherwise, who else?"

"She's still shooting in the United States."

"You do as you please, whatever you want to eat, go to the kitchen. If you want to drink, go to the bar. ”

"Don't worry, we won't be polite to you"

After walking around the inside and outside of the house, Vardy, with a glass of champagne, found Ling Feng, who was chatting with Lingard.

"Man, you're pretty good here, how much is the rent?"

"One hundred and fifty thousand, one year."

Hearing this, Vardy was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.

Judging by his appearance, he seems to be calculating his weekly salary, how many weeks it will take to be able to rent such a mansion.

As the team's main striker and the team's top scorer this season, Vardy's weekly salary after the latest contract extension is 50,000.

Although it is not as good as Ling Feng's 70,000, it also belongs to the top salary in the team.

However, there are rumors that Arsenal and Liverpool, the two giants, are interested in making an offer to Vardy in the winter window, hoping to get the fiery England striker!

Arsenal have been in the centre-forward position this season and were not going to make reinforcements.

However, in mid-August, starting centre-forward Olivier Giroud suffered an ankle fracture and was sidelined for three months.

In desperation, Arsene Wenger was forced to bring in strikers and bought Welbeck, who had no place from Manchester United.

With the arrival of Welbeck, the ineffective Sanogo was directly abandoned by Wenger.

However, Welbeck, who was expected to be physically fit and agile in his position, could prop up the Gunners' attack.

However, this "Bei Bujin" really deserves the nickname.

After disappointing Ferguson, it also disappointed Arsene Wenger.

In the three months since he joined, he has only scored one goal in the league!

The number of goals is equal to Giroud, who just returned from injury last week and scored a goal in just 13 minutes after coming off the bench!

Such goalscoring efficiency made Arsene Wenger not hesitate to press him to the bench and put Giroud back into the starting line-up.

However, with the rise of Leicester City, Southampton and Swansea this season, Arsenal's road to the top four has suddenly become more difficult.

Coupled with the three-tier battle of the league, the Champions League and the Football (Protection) General (Wen) Cup, it is a huge test for Arsenal, which does not have enough depth in the squad.

As a result, he took a fancy to Jamie Vardy, who can play both left winger and striker, hoping to continue to strengthen the team's attacking firepower while also weakening the strength of the opponent in the race for the top four.

Of course, this is all media coverage, and the authenticity is questionable.

However, Arsene Wenger has also praised Vardy's impact and ability to take chances in front of the media, and admitted that he wants to coach Vardy if he has the opportunity.

Compared with Arsenal, which picked and searched, Liverpool, another scandal object, wanted Vardy for the reason why it was more convincing.

This season, with the departure of super striker Suarez, coupled with Sturridge's "glass man" physique, Liverpool embarked on a "striker" journey as early as June.

One of the Reds' forward signings was the 32-year-old veteran Lambert who bought the team's top scorer from Southampton, who performed well last season.

I thought that Sturridge and Lambert, plus Borini's three strikers, were enough.

But it didn't come to pass, just after the first round of the Premier League, Sturridge was seriously injured, and the injury time is estimated to be as long as five months!

Coupled with Lambert, who scored the first goal of the Reds three months after joining, Liverpool's strikers have not scored more than five goals combined!

So, after a wave of crazy search in the transfer market, Liverpool's top management finally bought the "Ba God" Balotelli from Milan like a doctor!

They hope that the former Super Mario can regain his magic and help the Red Army attack the city.

In this regard, Liverpool's forward line has formed a "old, weak, sick and disabled" combination that has been talked about by fans in later generations!

Old refers to Lambert, who is thirty-two years old;

Weak, which refers to Borini with a positive attitude but no use;

Sick, referring to Sturridge, who charges for two hours and talks for five minutes;

Crippled, refers to the world-class Balotelli below the brain!

Bitter or not, think of the Red Army Liverpool!

The incompetence of the strikers has led to Liverpool's attack this season relying only on Raheem Sterling, who is nicknamed "thigh" by fans, as well as midfielders such as Gerrard, Coutinho, and Lallana.

So, in order to bolster their attacking prowess, the Reds are eyeing Vardy, who made a name for himself at the World Cup in Brazil and has excelled in the league.

And Gerrard has also publicly expressed his admiration for Vardy, claiming that if Vardy can come to Liverpool, the strength of the team will definitely increase greatly, etc.

This is news from the media, or a bait deliberately thrown by Liverpool in order to reduce the price.

After all, as Leicester City's main scorer, the 27-year-old Vardy is not worth a lot of money even because of his age, only 15 million euros.

However, if Leicester City really wants to let go of the team's main striker in the middle of the season, it will cost at least 20 million or more.

Although 65 million pounds were recovered from Suarez.

However, for Liverpool, who have already spent £100 million on signings in the summer window, the bottom of the pocket has already been seen.

And, in order to lure Vardy away from Leicester City and join Liverpool, they will also need to offer attractive salary terms and a signing fee.

Therefore, using Gerrard's fame to "seduce" Vardy first is also a reasonable and normal method.

If Vardy is willing to move, it's not too late for them to make another offer.
