Chapter 2: A New Identity, Captain Blue Fox! (Ask for a commuter pass)
On the afternoon of July 13, Chen Yufeng flew to the East Midland Airport in the middle of England and took the Leicester City team to the club.
Coming back to Leicestershire again, the feeling is completely different.
Looking at this familiar city and the familiar residents of the small town, Chen Yufeng's face couldn't help but feel a little intimate.
No matter how many accolades he achieves in the future and how top a superstar he becomes, he will never forget everyone here.
This is what made him debut, what made him famous, and in a sense, his home in the UK.
Chen Yufeng has had a happy season here and has stayed here this year, deciding to start a new season with the club's players.
At around 6pm, the club's car stopped at Leicester City's training base.
Chen Yufeng got out of the car with a smile and walked inside.
On the other side, there seems to be a press conference, and there are a lot of reporters gathered there, and it seems that there are new players joining.
"It's a new season, and I hope everyone can have a good time here."
Chen Yufeng sighed and walked towards the locker room.
The last time I was here, he was a nobody.
Look at it at the moment, he is the winner of the European Cup with a full title, the Golden Boot of the European Cup, and the best player of the European Cup!
Pushing open the door to the locker room, I found that it was dark inside, and there was no light in sight.
Chen Yufeng walked inside, and was about to turn on the light next to him, when he suddenly saw a strong light shining on, and two ceremonial flower tubes also went straight to his face.
"Poof! Burst! ”
As the sparse streamers slid down from the top of Chen Yufeng's head, Chen Yufeng was so shocked that he squatted directly on the ground.
When he got up, he saw that the dressing room was full of people, and all the Leicester players were standing in their positions, as if they were lining up to welcome him.
"Bang Bang ......"
There was a burst of fierce applause, and everyone applauded Chen Yufeng, with envy and reverence in their eyes.
"Welcome, Mr. European Cup winner!"
The voice of the little ghost Mahrez sounded first, he was smiling the happiest at the moment, and when he came up, he hooked Chen Yufeng's shoulder, "The surprise prepared for you, Vichai and Mr. Ranieri are at the press conference, and they will come later." ”
"How? Do you have to thank me again? ”
Riyad Mahrez has grown a beard this season and doesn't have the feeling of a little fresh meat like last season.
Chen Yufeng pushed him away in disgust, and couldn't help but say: "You better shave your beard, it looks too strange, pretend to be deep." ”
He said this, but he still felt a little happy as on his birthday.
"You think everyone is like you, I'm called manly." Mahrez waved his hand unconcerned, then pointed his finger to one place and teased: "You are not the oldest in the team anymore, Mr. Klose is here." ”
"Hahahaha......"
A burst of laughter rang out from the dressing room, and all eyes were on Klose, who was wearing a blue jersey.
This made the latter a little embarrassed, and stepped forward to high-five and hug Chen Yufeng, and then said, "Congratulations, we met on the spot on the day of the final." ”
"yes."
Chen Yufeng smiled slightly, very happy about Klose's arrival, "This is also the meeting of the all-time goalscorer king of the World Cup and the all-time scorer king of the European Cup." ”
His words made Klose laugh, but it was.
Seeing this face that was even more vicissitudes than him, Chen Yufeng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This Steve Walsh still has a vision, and Yitao is such a strong player.
Although Klose, who was 38 years old at the time, has long lost his former demeanor.
But don't forget, he was 36 years old when he broke the record.
This is a representative player who is old and strong, even if he can't run so much, he is still strong!
As for the bounce and confrontation, where can it slide again, and the header is still fed accurately.
Moreover, Klose is not the kind of header in the traditional sense, and his style is quite different from Klinsmann.
Klinsmann is known as the golden bomber, and he is more likely to directly press the opponent's players, and through strong confrontations, he unstoppably smashes the ball into the net.
Klose, on the other hand, has a good bounce, but his way of playing is obviously smarter.
He rarely plays against others, and most of his goals come with a keen sense of spot-grabbing, jumping high in the right place and smashing his head into the goal.
Such a player, as long as he wants to play football, is willing to practice physical fitness and maintain physical condition, he is still a first-line scorer!
"I've heard that you have a very good strength and conditioning trainer and keep training every day."
Klose took Chen Yufeng's hand and said with a smile: "You must also take me with you in the future, I will learn from you." ”
"This kind of willpower is really a role model for us older players, and it's good to follow you to keep me in shape."
When Chen Yufeng heard this, he nodded and smiled, and his head was suddenly full of black lines.
He thought of an old man, an old man whose mentality had already collapsed, but who was still making records.
When the time comes, seeing Klose's horizon improve, and then seeing his own irregular fluctuations, will Philip have some self-hanging conflicts?
Including Klose, after discovering that his physical fitness is high and low, will he also have some doubts about the feeling of life.
"The two of us too, we have already made a decision." New loan players Odegaard and Achraf also walked up and decided to train with Chen Yufeng.
"And me." Chilwell also came over with a smile at this time, looking at Chen Yufeng's figure, his eyes were full of yearning.
He hopes to one day make a name for England and win the European Championship for the team.
Looking at the addition of the three young players, Chen Yufeng had nothing to say, so he could only give a thumbs up to the three of them, "Very good, young players should have this kind of hard work." ”
"I'm sure you'll find some wonderful points in this kind of training and hone your will."
"The future is yours."
There was a hint of gritty on the faces of the trio, and it seemed that being praised by the best players in the European Championship was a very encouraging thing.
Chen Yufeng ate the dividends of 'age' in this way and became the object of worship of several people.
Not long after, Ranieri and Vichai pushed the door in, and after entering, they went straight to Chen Yufeng.
The two smiled and hugged Chen Yufeng, then turned around and introduced the players behind them.
"This is Harry Maguire, from Hull City, and this is Ndidi, Nigerian." Ranieri pointed to the two behind him.
Chen Yufeng smiled amicably at the two of them and extended his hand to them.
The two also hurried up and shook hands with Chen Yufeng and hugged him.
They were also a little apprehensive, coming to the new Premier League champions club and seeing last season's best player, everyone would think that this was the boss of the dressing room.
Not to mention, Chen Yufeng now has three European Cup titles on his head.
This put a lot of pressure on the two young people, and they even smiled with some discomfort.
It doesn't matter, Leicester's big family will soon accept them and they will feel the warmth of everyone from here.
"After Morgan took the initiative to consult with us, the club made a very big decision."
Ranieri came to Morgan's side at this time, and then looked at Chen Yufeng with a smile and said: "We have decided to appoint Chen Yufeng as the first captain of Leicester City in the new season, and Morgan will be the second. ”
"Do you have any opinions?"
Everyone shook their heads suddenly, and there was no opinion.
Chen Yufeng, who was standing in place, was slightly stunned, and looked at Morgan and Ranieri with some astonishment.
Although Morgan does not have a long-term relationship with this club, he is not a regular captain.
But as soon as he came back, he handed over such an important position directly to him, which is a bit too sudden, right?
"Yufeng, come on, you must know that I took the initiative to do so."
Morgan took off the captain's armband, took it in his hand and handed it to Chen Yufeng, and said, "We all know that you are the most suitable person." ”
'It doesn't matter if you win the European Championship or not, I've wanted to give it to you since the Carabao Cup game against Liverpool, I think you're the real Foxes leader.
What he said was a little sensual, but under the eager gaze of everyone at this time, the whole dressing room fell into a wonderful atmosphere, as if a handover ceremony was really being carried out.
In this way, it is not numb.
In the face of the invitation of the previous captain, Chen Yufeng, of course, did not shirk or twist, he stepped forward and took the captain's armband from Morgan's hand.
The first time he got this small elastic circle, feeling the weight and meaning it represented, Chen Yufeng couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Captain of a Premier League club, it's a whole new identity for him.
It's not just about playing well, getting older, getting along well with his teammates, it's also about his mental familiarity, which is enough to impress every teammate in the team.
This symbolizes the leader, and the word leader symbolizes responsibility and strength.
"Thank you for your promotion and trust, I don't want to say anything superfluous, just see what I do, we will definitely play very well in the new season."
Chen Yufeng made a simple speech, and then put the armband on his right arm and felt it in advance.
"Papapapa......" There was applause in the locker room, and no one had any objection to the appointment.
Please, Chen Yufeng is not suitable to be the captain, so who else is suitable?
Aside from the occasional precipitous drop in fitness, this is a veteran who is perfect in every way.
"Wind, if you can't win the championship in the new season, we'll just ask." Mahrez's voice rang out again.
"Yes, Yufeng, lead us to the championship, we want to lift the trophy!" Vardy patted Chen Yufeng on the shoulder.
"Let's start with the Community Shield in a month's time, and hopefully you can lead us to beat Jose Mourinho's Manchester United!" Shinji Okaki laughed.
"Hopefully the European Championship winner will bring something to our team, it's up to you, Yufeng." Klose, who had just joined, also laughed.
Everyone spoke enthusiastically, as if they were happy for Chen Yufeng's appointment.
Not long after coming to the club, Chen Yufeng felt the warmth of this club twice, which made him feel a little touched for a while.
"The European Championship is just a title, it's all in the past."
Chen Yufeng faced everyone and stretched out his right hand towards the middle of the locker room, "Let's forget about these for a while, and then everyone just have to remember that I am the captain of the Blue Fox Army." ”
"Come on! Let's show your sword towards the new season's big6 and the giants in the Champions League! ”
"We are still the unstoppable Foxes of last season!"
"Try it all and see what happens after the end of the season!"
As one hand after another was placed on top of Chen Yufeng, the players of the Leicester City team formed a circle and put their hands together.
They followed Chen Yufeng's rhythm and waved down together, "Leicester City!" Come on!! ”
