July 4, 2015.

Tottenham Hotspur training base, in the manager's office.

Pochettino, who has just made several important signings, looks like he's ready to start a new season with a bang.

But before then, he still has some things to do.

"Yedlin, it's a shame you're not in the team's plans for the new season, so I'll have to go out on loan."

"Hall, given your performance on loan last season, we can't give you any form of contract extension."

Dawson...... I'm sorry. ”

One by one, lonely figures walked into the office, and walked out in an even more lonely way, leaving this place forever.

Pochettino, who was sitting in the seat, also saw this scene with his eyebrows slightly drooping, and he couldn't bear it.

But what can be done then......

Professional football is extremely cruel!

Behind every player standing on the top field and enjoying the flowers and applause of the fans, there is a bloody single-plank bridge.

There may be countless people walking on this bridge, but in the end, only one person actually made it to the end and stood here!

"Hoo ......"

Exhaling, Pochettino set his sights on the last spot on the purge list.

When he saw the somewhat tongue-twisting and somewhat familiar Hanyu Pinyin, he couldn't help but purse his mouth, and his eyes were filled with endless regret and sadness.

"Chief, they said they told me to come in."

A whisper rang out, and Pochettino looked up and soon saw a player wearing a Tottenham shirt walking in.

His hair was wet and his neck was covered with undried sweat, as if he had just finished training.

"The wind, crow's feet and forehead lines are aggravated again."

Pochettino was silent for a while, and chose to use a joke to open the chat between the two, "But he is still very handsome, and he has deceived those Asian students in Europe over the years." ”

"Nothing."

The player standing opposite Pochettino moved out of his stool and sat down, laughing self-deprecatingly: "With a meager salary and a thirty-year-old age, even if you look good, where will anyone like it." ”

The young man ...... No, to be precise, it should be a middle-aged man, named Chen Yufeng, who is of Chinese descent.

is different from those young talents who have caused a storm of youth in football in recent years.

Chen Yufeng is a serious veteran, a loser who has not tasted success until he is thirty years old.

As for why Chinese?

Well, Chen Yufeng did spend some time in Huaxia in his childhood, and he also firmly believed that he was a descendant of a dragon.

However, because his father had always been involved in the cross-border trade, he had been living in Belgium for a long time.

Xiao Chen Yufeng, who was born in Belgium, has been a dual citizen for a long time.

It wasn't until the age of 18 that he and his father finally chose Belgian nationality in order to finish their football career.

Both of them were very consistent in their thoughts at the time.

For the quagmire of Chinese football, it is best for them not to wade into that troubled water.

That's not really the direction to give back to your country, at least in football.

In Chen Yufeng's opinion.

If he finally succeeds in playing in Europe, the power of the role model he has become will definitely radiate back and bring better inspiration to the young generation there!

Instead of staying over there to enclose and sprout themselves.

is often kidnapped by the national youth and the national youth in a morally abducted way, and is recalled to play some inconsequential games at an inopportune time.

That would affect his entire career.

At the earliest, Chen Yufeng and Chen's father really thought so.

They also have a lofty and lofty goal, and they have always worked hard to achieve it.

However, it seems that all of this is about to be officially declared shattered today.

'Wind, Tottenham are sorry for you, it's the same with the other clubs, they all hurt you.'

Pochettino looked at the veteran in front of him, was silent for a while, then bit his lip and said something sad.

"Maybe you should have known that all the promises made to you by all clubs are fake."

"They all had the idea of boosting the Chinese fan market and looking for more profitable opportunities, including Tottenham's signing at the time."

"They never fancied your abilities...... You've wasted a lot of time on the bench. ”

Pochettino has some feelings for the older player with whom he has communicated many times, and is very sympathetic to his plight.

Today, Tottenham's contract with his player also expired.

And, with the first-team squad at full capacity, Pochettino certainly can't afford to renew his contract.

is not only responsible for the team's lineup for the new season, responsible for the fans, but also responsible for Chen Yufeng's physical and mental condition.

"My father and I actually knew this for a long time."

The corners of Chen Yufeng's mouth showed a few faint smiles, after so many years, he had already looked down on these, "But at that time, I still had a naïve obsession." ”

"It's the belief that hard work can make up for the talent gap, and I can try to compete with them."

'Later, when I found out that it seemed impossible in football, it was too late.

"I really should have put down my body earlier, rejected the temptation, and went to the lower leagues to gain experience."

"Instead of drifting around, my whole career has been spent on the bench and in the reserves of top-flight teams."

Eighteen years ago.

Twelve-year-old Chen Yufeng first came to Europe and entered the echelon of the English Premier League Everton Under-12.

That seems like a good place to start.

Including his first promotion to the Everton first team and the time he was awarded a professional contract, he was only 19 years old.

At that time, Chen Yufeng, who thought that as long as he trained hard, his future would be bright, but he was beaten in the face in the next five years!

Exactly five years!

Apart from four inconsequential EFL Cup games, he didn't get even a single Premier League appearance!

In order to retain the expectation and attention of Chinese fans to Everton's every game, the team did not give Chen Yufeng the opportunity to go out on loan for training.

Just torture him to death in the club and be a water cooler keeper!

And that's just the beginning of the nightmare.

Next, Chen Yufeng traveled to Club Brugge in the Belgian League, Sporting de Portugal in the Portuguese Super League, and even Feyenoord in the Eredivisie.

Sounds like a good thing, right?

They are all giants or quasi-giants in major leagues.

But as Pochettino said, they didn't treat Chen Yufeng as a professional player at all, and they were not prepared to give him any chance at all!

It wasn't until three years ago that Fithrop was signed to Tottenham by Fislop, then Tottenham's head of football.

Chen Yufeng has only played six games as a substitute in the Belgian First Division!

A player who has had a rough career and walked on thin ice, but in the end he still didn't achieve any success.

This is Chen Yufeng's evaluation of himself when he looks back on the past.

Pochettino listened to Chen Yufeng's last sentence, and the corners of his mouth also brought some bitterness, "I apologize to you on behalf of the club." ”

'But I have to say that now, the team can't renew your contract, there aren't many places left for the first team......

"I've known for a long time, Mr. Pochettino." Chen Yufeng stood up and calmly accepted the scene in front of him. "It's none of your business, it's not about the team, don't think too much about my feelings."

He has been abandoned many times, and he has long been used to it.

Even if there may be a stinging pain in the heart at the end, at least the whole person will not collapse like earlier.

Suddenly, remembering that today was his thirtieth birthday, Chen Yufeng, stretched out his hand towards Pochettino even more bitterly.

This feeling of being abandoned again on the day of the establishment is really not very good.

'Mr. Pochettino, I wish you a new breakthrough in your career at Tottenham and hopefully we will see you again.'

After saying this, Chen Yufeng turned around and walked away, leaving only Pochettino with a heavy expression behind him.

At this moment, in Chen Yufeng's mind, several inappropriate voices suddenly sounded.
