Madrid, Spain, in a room in the administration building of Real Madrid.

Florentino put down the phone, a little puzzled in the corner of his eye.

Outside the window, it was dark but the noise was still there, and Florentino was silent for a long time in such an atmosphere.

Next to him, Zinedine Zidane, then the manager of Real Madrid, was also sitting in a chair, folding his hands and holding his chin, also in a daze.

Neither of them broke this tranquility for the first time, as if they were stuck in their throats.

Obviously, the two who were rejected by Leicester City and Chen Yufeng one after another were full of puzzlement at the moment.

In their opinion, Real Madrid personally sent an invitation, no matter what, it can sit at the negotiating table and talk, right?

Why don't you give a chance?

They don't even have room to maneuver.

"I really don't know why they're so adamant."

After a long time, Florentino broke the situation and said: "Does he really not want to win the Champions League and become a Grand Slam winner for the club?" ”

"Who in today's football doesn't know that as long as you join Real Madrid, everything about you will be high, and this is the club that will bring your career to the top!"

"If Chen Yufeng wants to shatter the doubts and slanders of the outside world, the first thing to do is to join a giant club like Real Madrid!"

Florentino waved his right hand and pointed it to his chest: "Because only then will those people outside know!" ”

"He is the one who is believed by Real Madrid, the one who is believed by me Florentino, including you, Mr. Zidane, and you will also be the most solid backing behind Chen Yufeng."

"It's what he needs, doesn't he know?"

"Even if the statistics in all aspects drop after coming to Real Madrid, people will give him tolerance, and the media will not dare to be too presumptuous."

I don't know if Real Madrid have that much power, but Florentino certainly thinks so, and his success at this club has made him very confident.

He knows he has the energy to help a lot of players.

It is in this way that Real Madrid can attract those stars who are very topical and powerful, so that the club's achievements and fame will continue to soar and continue to hit higher peaks.

"Otherwise, we make some concessions on image rights, which should be the biggest temptation for the players." Zidane proposed.

From the beginning of the superstar program, Florentino has attached great importance to the image rights of players, and he wants to create not only a club with advanced strength, but also a star team with superstars.

The light shining on these superstars radiates and spreads evenly on the bodies of others, forming a virtuous circle that exposes everyone to more fans and has a global reputation.

This was the most important stroke of Florentino's business empire.

Therefore, generally speaking, Galeries Lafayette asks the star who joins Real Madrid to hand over 50% of his image rights.

It's really nothing, because it's going to be a win-win situation.

Even if you got 100% of the image rights last year, you might only earn 5 million euros in endorsement fees, but if you come to Real Madrid this year and only get 50%, then you could make 15 million.

Of course, this kind of thing is not absolute, and it is usually not so exaggerated.

But the meaning is the same.

"No, portrait rights cannot be compromised, even if Chen Yufeng is now very commercially valuable, we can't make concessions at this point."

Florentino refused more simply, "Mr. Zidane, my win-win cooperation is not necessarily just for the player to make more money and have more popularity. ”

"Leave aside the basics."

"For some people, the biggest trade chips I've handed out are results and championships."

"Because he is not very bad at money, the pinnacle of his career that he needs to achieve is more in other aspects."

He is like a shrewd cheetah, who has found the fattest piece of meat in the vast grassland, "Chen Yufeng is such a person, he does not lack sky-high endorsement fees, what he lacks is trust and affirmation, champion and historical status." ”

'We're just going to take a part of his interests and give him a Champions League title and give him a chance to complete the club Grand Slam.

"It's very different, enough to keep his name etched in football forever."

At this point, it's actually very thorough.

Florentino brought Chen Yufeng over, but in fact, he didn't like his strength and future state to maintain the situation.

He is interested in money, business value.

Many people may not understand how the club makes money, aside from the largest sponsorship and endorsement fees, etc., in some cases, just selling jerseys can recoup the transfer fee.

Chen Yufeng's number of fans is terrifying, and if he joins forces with Real Madrid and hypes it up.

With Florentino's experience, in one year, 300 million in sales and 100 million in profits is absolutely dramatic.

The rest is pure earning.

"Okay......" Zidane looked at odds with Florentino, shook his head and didn't say anything more.

From his point of view, in fact, Chen Yufeng completed the club Grand Slam, and the best place is not Leicester City?

He's got a chance this season......

After having the Community Shield, the Premier League Championship, and the League Cup, Chen Yufeng is far from the Grand Slam, isn't there only the FA Cup and the Champions League left?

What's missing?

Europa League, UEFA Super Cup?

This kind of is generally not included in the Grand Slam statistics, and some stars will not fall to the point of playing in the Europa League throughout their prime, so you can't let him go to the Europa League for the Grand Slam, right?

Just the Champions League.

As for Chen Yufeng, is it difficult to complete the Grand Slam this year?

Well, it's really difficult, so hard that Zidane can't figure out what kind of dramatic script story it will be, and how many coincidences it will have to complete this miracle.

…………

Similar situations have been happening all the time these days.

Barcelona, Bayern, Juventus, including Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, the leading clubs of these major leagues, all threw invitations to the then 31-year-old Chen Yufeng.

They also tried their best to contact Chen Yufeng himself and his father, looking for news waiting for an opportunity.

Even in a major super league, a coach made a sharp comment on this: "There seems to be some turmoil in international football recently, we have to prepare and catch a big fish." ”

Of course, for non-giant teams, it is impossible to catch a big fish like Chen Yufeng.

It's more of a joke.

As for Chen Yufeng, no matter how disturbed the outside world is, he is actually still focused on the schedule he plays.

Did these olive branches and the temptation of the championship make him ever tempted?

If you dare to write no in your diary, then Chen Yufeng is the kind of person who even deceives himself.

He definitely has.

But what is it that keeps him at heart?

Naturally, it is still the concept he has always adhered to, fighting with his brothers for another year, and fighting hard.

Immortal, just two words.

But it takes a year of hard work for everyone to see a little light.

The biggest taboo on this road is to give up halfway.

'So, the relationship with these clubs is bad and as Leicester captain I always put the club and you first.

These are the words of Chen Yufeng, before the home game against Manchester United on February 6.

The locker room was full of people, everyone had just listened to the story of Chen Yufeng's recent experience, and they also understood how rare the captain's perseverance was.

"If you get tired of saying it, but it will always make our blood boil, come on."

Chen Yufeng put his hand in the middle of the crowd, and the other players quickly put their right hands up, and then everyone shouted in unison: "Leicester City...... Come on!! ”

Everyone ran out of the tunnel enthusiastically, and the live DJ at the King Power Stadium was also introducing the starting line-ups of both sides.

“Leicester city！！ Claudio, Ranieri! ”

There was a huge shout from the audience, and all the fans rose from their seats to applaud Ranieri, who had only recently won FIFA Manager of the Year.

"Schmeichel, Danny Simpson, Hut, Morgan, Achraf!"

"Mahrez, Kante, Odegaard, Chen Yufeng!!"

“oh——！” Another burst of cheers sounded, and people couldn't help but shout just when they heard Chen Yufeng's name.

"Shinji Okazaki, Klose!!"

With the introduction of the starting lineup on Leicester City's side, everyone also discovered Ranieri's arrangement.

It seems, another game of rotational rest?

Well, although there is some disappointment, they also understand.

The team's bench depth is indeed insufficient, and Ranieri also has suffering, Vardy, Drinkwater, these people, who have been fighting with the team for so long, are they not allowed to rest, right?

Isn't that irresponsible?

"Manchester United, manager Jose Mourinho."

'Goalkeeper David De Gea, left-back Marcos Rojo, centre-backs Smalling, Eric Bailly, right-back Valencia!'

"Midfield, Msitaryan, Pogba, Herrera, Mata!"

'Forwards, Ibrahimovic, Rashford!'

Manchester United's starting line-up was also quickly introduced, but this time it was a chorus of boos from Leicester fans.

The smaller Manchester United expeditionary force cheered, but it was instantly overwritten, and only they could hear it.

On the sidelines of the pitch, in front of the coaches' seats on both sides.

Ranieri stood in the command area in a padded jacket, constantly adjusting the watch in his hand, waiting for the referee's order.

As for Mourinho, who was not far away, he was also walking back and forth with a serious expression at the moment, sometimes enriching a few words to several staff members on the bench and asking them to pay attention to some unexpected matters.

Something like the Chelsea women's team doctor is better off not happening again.

"Beep!"

Soon, with the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
