"We are delighted to announce that we have reached an agreement with Claudio Ranieri to become the club's new manager for the upcoming season."

On Leicester City's official website, a photo of Ranieri holding the shirt and the official announcement of the club's vice-president has appeared.

The 63-year-old Italian has a lot of coaching experience, and his coaching footprints are all over Europe.

These include La Liga Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Serie A, Juventus, Roma, Inter Milan, Premier League Chelsea, and many more.

Taking over as Leicester City's rein, it was also Ranieri's return to the Premier League after 11 years after sacking from Chelsea in 2004.

As soon as the club officially announced Ranieri's appointment, Ling Feng received the news.

In this regard, he breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

Fortunately, his presence did not change Ranieri's arrival.

Compared with other managers who are not familiar with him, Ling Feng still thinks that Ranieri is the best choice for the team.

Moreover, the Blue Fox miracle was created by him himself, and if there was no "tinkerer", he always felt that something was missing.

Today, the helmsman of the miracle is in place.

Next, the other championship puzzle pieces, will it be far away?!

For the club's new manager, some fans support it, and some are not optimistic.

Compared with other scandal targets, such as "Wonder Coach" Hiddink and "Madman" Bielsa, Ranieri's coaching resume is very deep, but it is mediocre.

Counting his coaching career, he spent a significant part of his time rushing to the role as a firefighting coach, and then parted ways with the club after the team went through a transition period.

Although he has coached many big teams, he has never won a top league title!

The best part of his managerial career was the Copa del Rey with Valencia, the runners-up finish in the league and the Champions League semi-finals.

That was eleven years ago, though.

is the so-called hero, don't mention the courage of the year.

In recent years, Ranieri has been coaching for Inter, Monaco and Greece for a short period of time, with mediocre results.

Especially in his short four-month career in the Greek national team, he caused Greece to lose to the Faroe Islands in an upset, thus causing him to be dismissed.

Therefore, the British media, which has always been picky, is very unoptimistic about Ranieri taking over as the Blue Fox coach.

"The mediocre tinkerer takes office, what can he bring to the blue fox?"

"Ranieri is too old to keep up with the times"

"Italians simply can't play in England"

And Lineker, who has always been a big mouth, also immediately tweeted to express his opinion.

Of course, he still has enough respect for Ranieri, a senior footballer.

He simply said that Ranieri is not the best person to coach the team for a long time.

In any case, Ranieri has become the new manager of Leicester City, which is a given.

However, the Italian coach's top priority after taking office is not to know the players of the team, nor to transfer reinforcements, but to find ways to retain the team's star Ling Feng!

According to reports from newspapers such as "The Sun" and "Daily Mirror", Ling Feng was very disappointed with the club's decision because the club fired Pearson, who had a very good relationship with him, and decided to shelve the contract renewal negotiations with the club and seek the possibility of transferring away!

And when the parties saw the reports on these tabloids, they were confused:

How did I not know that I wanted to transfer away?

However, journalism has always been a little girl who can be dressed up.

Some people don't believe it, some people do.

Fans don't believe that Ling Feng wants to leave the club that has cultivated him for so many years because of the head coach's resignation;

But the club's top management didn't dare to believe it.

In June, the club had already released the news that it was negotiating with Ling Feng to renew his contract.

At that time, the major clubs thought that Ling Feng would stay in Leicester City.

So I didn't think about the offer at all.

However, after the club sacked Pearson, everything changed!

The transfer rumors that were haunting Ling Feng suddenly increased.

Moreover, the actual quotations also came one after another in just one week.

As of the day Ranieri took office, more than seven clubs have sent offers for Ling Feng!

Manchester City, Arsenal, and Manchester United in the Premier League, Bayern in the Bundesliga, Juventus in Serie A, and Paris in Ligue 1

These clubs thought that Ling Feng was dissatisfied with the club, so they all planned to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Even if you know that Ling Feng's contract has a release clause of 60 million pounds.

These clubs, however, do not intend to shell out the money, but choose to lower the price.

Even so, the first round of offers, each club's offer, exceeded £40 million.

It is worth mentioning that of all the offers, the offers of Manchester City and Arsenal are the most sincere.

Manchester City directly gave the highest of all clubs of 55 million pounds;

And the gunner gave an offer for a down payment of two thousand plus four thousand installments!

After missing out on the chance to defend the title last season, Manchester City have decided to continue to bolster their squad with money swinging money.

Among their big buys are two of Europe's most creative attacking midfielders, Ling Feng and Kevin De Bruyne, as well as Raheem Sterling, who has reached an impasse with Liverpool.

As for Arsenal, Wenger's covetousness for Ling Feng is not a matter of one or two days.

Although there is already another European assist king in the team.

But what manager would dislike too many of the team's top players?!

The professor has also said more than once that if Ling Feng strengthens his archery skills under his tutelage, he will have a chance to grow into a superstar like Henry or Bergkamp!

In the face of offers from other clubs, Leicester City of course rejected them all.

And made it clear that Ling Feng is not for sale at the club!

However, in this increasingly commercial era, there are no players who are not for sale.

On the contrary, many players have been labeled as "not for sale", which is just a means for the club to raise the price.

Once a club directly bids 60 million pounds, Ling Feng's termination clause can be triggered, and he can negotiate personal treatment with him.

With Ling Feng's latest worth of 65 million pounds, taking into account factors such as his age and potential, business value, and English household register.

The transfer fee is less than 80 million pounds, and Leicester City is a loss!

Therefore, whether it is to appease Ling Feng and make him not care too much about Pearson's dismissal, or perhaps to keep Ling Feng, the club's most valuable "commodity", the club must renew his contract as soon as possible!

So, just on the third day of Ranieri's tenure, Mendes called Ling Feng:

"Ling, they agreed to our terms!"

After Mendes' negotiations, Ling Feng's new contract salary is 130,000 pounds a week, a full 80% increase.

On top of that, he also gets a £3 million signing fee when he renews his contract!

In terms of bonus terms, in addition to goal and assist bonuses, if he can win individual awards such as Premier League MVP, Premier League Team of the Year, and Assist King, Ling Feng can also receive an additional corresponding bonus.

It is worth mentioning that during the negotiation process, the club also intends to remove the release clause in the contract.

It was Mendes' insistence on not letting go of his mouth that made the club not "succeed".

Because of the termination clause, if Ling Feng transfers next year, he will be able to grasp the absolute initiative, and he will not be afraid that the club will deliberately set sky-high prices in order to hinder his transfer.

And the new contract termination fee after the renewal has become 80 million pounds!

Although compared to the "happy boy" Sterling, who is about to transfer to Manchester City and gets a weekly salary of 180,000, Ling Feng, who is more famous and stronger than him, only gets a weekly salary of 130,000, which seems to be a bit low.

However, when comparing the income and salary structure of the two clubs, this amount is enough to show that Leicester City values him!

Ling Feng was not polite, and immediately came to the Belvo base, accompanied by the team director, and signed his name on the new contract!

It wasn't until he completed the contract renewal with the club, and on the way home, that Ling Feng learned from Mendes that those tabloid news were actually deliberately released by this super agent!

In order to put pressure on the club to accept his contract renewal conditions as soon as possible!

This hype made Ling Feng feel very fortunate for his decision to choose Mendes as his agent again.

Now, that's called professionalism!

In the face of Ling Feng's thumbs up, Mendes just waved his hand lightly, and then suddenly took out a beautiful invitation card from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Ling Feng:

"By the way, I will get married on the 2nd of next month, and you remember to take leave to come to the wedding."

Seeing the invitation, Ling Feng was a little surprised:

"Huh? You're not married?! ”

As far as he knew, Mendez had wives.

And Mendes also explained lightly:

"It's just a make-up wedding, no fuss. There will be a lot of industry peers at that time, and you'd better bring your little girlfriend over. ”

Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Ronaldo will also come, right?" ”

The Ronaldo in Ling Feng's mouth is not the Brazilian one.

Obviously, Mendes also understood what he meant, and showed a light smile:

"Of course! I'll introduce you to each other then! ”

。。。

Stepping into July, the European summer transfer window officially opens.

And Leicester City's first reinforcement was the free signing of Austrian international Christian Fuchs from Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga!

The 29-year-old Bundesliga veteran has a wealth of experience and is both offensive and defensive.

With the arrival of Fuchs, Leicester finally have a solid option at left-back.

On top of that, Maguire's transfer talks are also in the final stages, with the transfer fee already finalised, leaving only the club to negotiate with the player on his personal terms.

However, for Blue Fox fans, nothing is more important than Ling Feng's contract renewal with the club!

And just after the club officially announced the news that it had renewed its contract with Ling Feng until 2020, main players such as Vardy, Mahrez, and Brother Drinking Water also completed contract renewals with the club one after another.

For this good news, Blue Fox fans are overjoyed and praise the club's operation.

They don't expect the team to be able to call for wind and rain in the transfer market, but only pray that the team can keep the current main lineup, which is already very good.

Especially the most popular Blue Fox Three Musketeers.

With these three people, they will be able to remain competitive in the Premier League and finish in the top six of the Premier League!

After finishing some business activities, Ling Feng finally ushered in the day of returning to the team

As soon as he stepped into the familiar locker room and saw familiar faces, Ling Feng was like a child going home, and his emotions suddenly rose.

"Hey! Guys! Are you all right? ”

After shaking hands and hugging his teammates one by one, Ling Feng also came to the team's new recruit Fuchs and came to him:

"Hey, Christian, how are you?"

Facing Ling Feng's right hand that he took the initiative to stretch out, Fox also reached out and shook it, and then smiled:

"It's fine."

"My name is Ling Feng, you can call me Ling."

"Although someone may have already told you. Still, I have to say to you, welcome to Leicester City! ”

"Thank you."

Fuchs is not an introvert.

Although his English is very poor, he can only speak some simple words.

But with the help of the German, it is not a problem to integrate into the team.

After changing into training clothes and sneakers, everyone also came to the training ground.

And Ling Feng also met the team's new coach for the first time, the old Italian man known as the "tinker".

The loose hair, the kind smile, and even the wrinkles under the glasses are so amiable.

When Ranieri saw Ling Feng standing in the first row, he couldn't help but smile and nodded to him:

"Ling, welcome back!"

In the face of Ranieri's active overture, Ling Feng also smiled:

"Thanks, Coach."

Even through the game footage and player reports, I know a little about the absolute star of the Blue Foxes.

However, when he saw with his own eyes the physical state and technical level that Ling Feng showed in training, Ranieri was still shocked.

You must know that in his nearly 30-year coaching career, he has coached many big teams and seen many famous stars.

Mendieta, Zola, Piero, Nedved.

And the talent shown by Ling Feng made Ranieri can't help but shout in his heart:

What kind of monster is this?!

His vision is wider than Mendieta!

His passing is more accurate and imaginative than Sneijder's!

His long-range shot was even faster than Nedved's!

His speed is the fastest of any player he's ever seen!!

Especially the appearance of commanding on the field, controlling the team's attacking rhythm like a leisurely stroll, he can't help but think of his midfield commander when he was in charge of Valencia, Mendieta!

However, compared to Mendieta, Ling Feng's physical fitness is even more explosive.

Strictly speaking, he's more of a strengthened version of Mendieta!

And he was only twenty years old!

Looking at the black-haired young man running on the training ground, Ranieri suddenly felt how correct his decision to take over the Blue Fox was.

Valencia, under Mendieta's leadership, are the contenders for the La Liga title.

So, under the leadership of Ling Feng, Leicester City may also be able to become the championship group of the Premier League?!

Thinking of this, Ranieri's heart, which was already as calm as a lake, rippled after a long absence.
