Chapter 122: Klose's Champions League Dream! The emotion of the Sevilla fans! (Ask for a commuter pass)
"I've known each other for more than half a year, Yufeng, in fact, I've always been curious about a point, but I haven't said it."
On February 20th, there are still 3 days left before the first leg of the Champions League knockout round, and after the end of this day's training, taking advantage of the evening breeze, several people in the training group are lying comfortably on the lawn to enjoy this rare quiet relaxation.
Leicestershire is still beautiful at night, with scattered lights in the distance, and happy families living there, peaceful and calm.
It's easy to calm down in a place like this.
It's a good thing for the players, who get into a slower pace of life after getting out of every passionate 90 minutes.
It's a neutralization that allows them to think through a lot of things and know what they need to do.
Klose didn't look at Chen Yufeng, he asked the sky the question he had always wanted to ask, "Regardless of age, you are walking too fast, will there be any tension?" โ
"You're a mythical character now, but it's not all gradual, it's more like a rainbow all the way."
"Even though you lost the chance to be named World Footballer of the Year, I still want to say that, hahaha......"
Chen Yufeng was lying next to Klose, and he could understand what Klose meant.
"The tension is actually all the time, I'm just sharp."
He didn't hide his inner thoughts, he couldn't communicate with his teammates, so who else could he tell his thoughts, "For example, the upcoming Champions League knockout round, this is a new challenge. โ
"Honestly, I was confident that I could play well in the group stage, and I was confident that I could break all doubts with my feet."
"What makes me nervous is more about the opinions of others, and everyone who carries expectations and carries the hopes of countless people always does this."
"Not to mention, there are so many people waiting for me to fail."
A smile appeared on Chen Yufeng's face, which was not a bitter smile, but more like a relief from saying these words, "I can say that I don't care about this, but even if I lied to myself at that time, I can't suppress the nervousness when a new challenge comes." โ
"I can also pat my chest and say I'm not afraid of questioning, and I'll use my performance to smash all this criticism and continue to keep me on a fast climbing pace."
"However, no one wants to slip from the top of the mountain, even if it is just a step back, it will make you feel the pain of hard work."
"When you get used to flowers and applause, you can't accept that you have fallen, not once."
Chen Yufeng raised his eyebrows, "So I insist on training my physical fitness every day, and hand over everything I have in every game, in fact, it is a little difficult to stay focused for a month, and then three months, half a year, a year, and the further back it is, it is a new problem." โ
"Numbness, mechanicality, doubts, and other emotions filled my mind."
"The reason for this is that I don't want to fall."
He said a lot this time, some things that he didn't even think about himself, let alone tell others.
Maybe in the second half of the season, the pressure on every player is too much.
Chen Yufeng, as the captain of this Blue Fox battleship, has a wind shield and a pressure plate, and the pressure he bears is definitely unimaginable to others.
It had nothing to do with his position on himself, nothing about his demonic contract or his existing abilities, just everything he felt in the world as a person.
The eyes of several people next to him became complicated, Klose, as a veteran, must be able to understand Chen Yufeng's state of mind, but it is difficult for several young players.
"Have you ever thought about a point, that is, people will always fall, and the higher they hold, the worse they fall."
Klose's expression was complicated, "Don't interrupt me in a hurry, Yufeng, I've won a lot of things since I was very early, and I've accomplished a lot of things that I didn't dare to imagine before. โ
"However, now I have discovered one thing, that is, in this life, there are always some things that you can't get."
"I can break Ronaldo's World Cup scoring record, but I probably won't win the Champions League in my lifetime."
Speaking of this, his expression became a little uglier, "No, it's not possible, it's a fact. โ
'Don't be offended, Leicester are a good team, but I can't imagine that this team that was relegated two years ago won the Champions League this year after a miraculous year.
"The big war is coming, I shouldn't say such things, but from my point of view, it's really impossible, maybe I've already resigned myself to my fate, hahaha......"
Several young people nodded, but Chen Yufeng fell into silence for a while.
In fact, every legendary star has something that he is difficult to reconcile, and for Klose God, this dilemma is of course the Champions League winner.
That's just one step away from him completing a career slam of honor.
Of course, if you spread out all the honors, this is not enough, but from a general point of view, Klose, who has won the World Cup and all the top honors in Germany, plus a Champions League, how can it not be considered a Grand Slam?
This kind of bitterness, which is only one step away, will accompany Klose throughout his life.
In the future, when he goes around the world and sees countless fans and believers excitedly flocking to him, in addition to happiness, there will definitely be a few regrets in the corners of his eyes.
It's just one step away......
"I don't accept my fate."
Chen Yufeng spoke up, and he refuted Klose's words.
It's not like the two haven't said a word about the Champions League, and sometimes, when the two of them rush to the sidelines side to celebrate, they talk about it excitedly.
But that kind of emotional filter with excitement can't be taken seriously.
That's all braggart at the wine table.
Chatting like this in quiet times is the truth.
"You know, in the darkest moments of my life, I just felt pain and was constantly looking for ways to counteract it."
"Give up and accept your fate, this is something I never thought about."
"What I have thought about is that there are so many professions in this world, I may have made a wrong choice from the beginning, and made mistakes again and again, wasted half my life, and became a fool in the eyes of the world."
"Maybe I should have made time to choose other industries a long time ago, and with my perseverance, I will soon be able to become the top in other industries."
Speaking of this, Chen Yufeng sat up, "But...... I've persevered, I've got to where I am today, and I can't say it's all my hard work and persistence. โ
"But Klose, if you give up and accept your fate, there are really things that you can't do."
'I've never said that at such a solemn time, for me, for Leicester City, there is only one way we can go, and that is to challenge for this year's Champions League title.
"There's nothing else, everyone's expectations are high, and we can't escape it."
"If there is a difficulty, we will overcome him, we have already come to this point, and it would be too sad not to get something at the end."
The last sentence fell, and Chen Yufeng left the playground and went home to rest.
Klose and the others were still on the field, although a few people didn't say anything, but everyone knew that each of them had some waves in their hearts at the moment.
Chicken soup is said every day, listened to every day, and most people say these words without a clear motivational direction, just to win eyeballs.
But if the situation is substituted here, and Chen Yufeng himself, it will be different.
Fellow professional players, Klose, Odegaard, Achraf, how could they not listen to it?
How can you not raise a few touches of motivation to strive for progress?
They knew that Chen Yufeng was serious, and they also knew at this moment that this season of stumbling all the way through the rosemary might really be able to do something.
It's not even a little bit, it's about hitting that supreme Champions League honour.
At least, they saw hope in Chen Yufeng.
As long as someone puts forward this hope and is willing to lead by example, then how can they not chase it?
There are some concepts that cannot be profoundly deepened at one time, and only when the helmsman of the ship continues to deepen this concept can he influence others to go on firmly.
Leicester City, is it really never tired?
They believe, yes.

23 February, Seville, capital of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, Spain.
The first leg of the Champions League knockout rounds is about to kick off here, and it's a whole new moment for Leicester City.
As they had arrived the day before for training on the pitch, the Leicester players only had to take a bus from the hotel to the pitch today.
However, because it was the first time, the sense of ritual given by the fans was still very sufficient.
From the hotel's doorstep, fans from all over the world gathered to escort the players to the Estadio Pizjuan, Sevilla's home stadium.
"Come on, come on! Yufeng, rush! โ
"Leicester, step on them and make it to the quarter-finals!"
"Although I didn't get a ticket, I decided to stay with the team at such an important moment, and I will cheer for you until the end in the square outside the stadium!"
"I hope that's the case, we will beat them in the first round, and in the second round, we will directly send the youth team players to practice! Hahahaha...... The premise is that our advantage is really big enough. โ
"Who wouldn't want that? Come on, come on, let's get ready for the race! โ
"I'm a little tired of watching the Premier League and the FA Cup, and now the suspense is whether we can win the championship in the end, now let's focus on the Champions League and push the players forward from behind! Give them the best support with the warmest cheers! โ
โโฆโฆโ
Inside the car, listening to the shouts of the fans outside the window and watching the blue and white smoke bombs set off in their hands, the Leicester players grinned with their teeth.
"I guess Spanish journalists will have to ask big questions later."
Mahrez sat behind Chen Yufeng, patted Chen Yufeng on the shoulder and said, "Guess what?" โ
"My fucking kid, guess?" Chen Yufeng gave him a blank look.
Mahrez didn't force it, and quickly imitated the simple appearance of the reporter holding the microphone, "Mr. Chen Yufeng, on the other hand, we know that you have never scored in the Champions League knockout round, does this make you have some psychological weakness?" โ
"Hahahahaha......" The whole carriage burst into laughter, and everyone was actively providing positive emotions.
Also, Mahrez imitates too similarly, and this question is too retarded.
"Hahaha." Chen Yufeng shrugged with a smile and said helplessly: "Everyone knows that these media are always so boring. โ
"If you ask questions according to this logic, he can ask me, why didn't I score in the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, or even La Liga, Serie A, and the Chinese Super League, etc., is it because of my ability?"
"Sometimes they are really stupid, and these reporters who lose their brains in order to create conflicts on topics should be scolded."
He really received this kind of question a lot, and he was really helpless every time.
"There's going to be a reporter who really asks this question, and believe me, I'm going to laugh until I faint in the locker room." Morgan made a sleepy motion.
"I don't rule it out." Vardy added: "The media in Spain are sometimes more outrageous and logically confusing than those in the UK. โ
Everyone listened to the music for a while, was silent for a while, and someone started a new topic.
"So, Yufeng, who has already scored 14 goals and 2 assists in the group stage, does he have any prospects in the knockout round?" Patriarch Andy Kim looked at Chen Yufeng and asked with a smile.
"Let's put it all together, let's rush together and try to reach the quarter-finals first, so that I have the confidence to break the goal record."
Chen Yufeng first set his goal in the quarterfinals, "Although I really haven't experienced this, every game is a knockout round of life and death. โ
'But I'm confident I'll score four goals in four games, so let's go to the quarter-finals.'
"At the opening of the market, can Chen Yufeng break the record of Cristiano Ronaldo." Mahrez dug out a pen and paper in his backpack and was ready to take notes: "But it's not the money, it's the butt pumping." โ
Ass pumping, it's a punishment game that everyone plays in training.
Generally speaking, the penalty taker stands in the goal with his head in his hands and pouts his buttocks, and the penalty taker stands near the penalty spot and volleys violently, directly on the bar.
"If you can pay 1.5 for 1, you can't pay 4 for 1, who will come?"
After Mahrez asked, many people joined the queue of bets, everyone was 10 5 presses, and the captain Morgan even played 30 can.
Other people have what they can and can't, in general, the number is equal, it's all for the effect of the show, and this is not real betting.
"I suddenly regretted it, because from the perspective of pumping ass, it is not whose judgment and luck win, but whose footwork is good and who wins."
Morgan regretted it a little as soon as he finished it, "Speaking of footwork, Mahrez crushed most of us, except for ......"
Before his three words 'Chen Yufeng' were exported, Chen Yufeng himself exported: "I can place 500 of them." โ
Mahrez, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly clamped his buttocks, feeling a cool breeze pass between his legs.
Why did he open this market?
One question mark after another appeared in his mind.
โฆโฆโฆโฆ
Not long after, inside the Pizjuรกn Stadium.
Leicester City's players took to the pitch to warm up, and from then on, the stadium, which can accommodate more than 45,000 people, began to sit one after another.
In less than ten minutes, the stadium was cut by two bright colors, one red and white, and the other blue and white, which are the totemic colors of the two clubs.
"Oo......oo Oooooooo......oo โ
"Sevilla! Seville! Seville!! โ
"Rush Rush!!"
"Kill!!"
The roaring cheers sounded, and the atmosphere of the scene was completely hot.
At this time, there were still a full forty minutes before the start of the game, but this still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of these fans.
After the initial cheering event, many Sevilla fans also set their eyes on the Asian figure in the Leicester team.
Chen Yufeng has only played against Spanish teams in pre-season warm-up matches, and the venue of the match is still far away North America, so to speak, the Golden Ball Mr. has never visited Spain in an official match.
There may be a lot of private tourism or business activities, but there are really no competitions.
This gives these Sevilla fans a new feeling, they have known the era figure who broke Mero's monopoly for a long time, and also know what the story of the Asian American is.
In a way, they are eager to see the newcomer Ballon d'Or winner from Spain and see him in action.
"I heard that he has a unique success rate in the Premier League, which is famous for his confrontations, and unless he hits him from behind the side, no one can make him lose his center of gravity." There are Sevilla fans looking at Chen Yufengdao.
"It doesn't look very strong, maybe it's the core strength and the bottom plate is stable." Some fans explained.
'It's not like that, he's got a lot of power all over his body, I've seen the Premier League, he's not just playing the plate. Some fans envied: "If only we had players like that." โ
"Yes, other people's explanations for him are too narrow, and those who often watch the Premier League know that he doesn't just can't knock him down, he can knock others down every time. If someone can withstand his impact, it will be considered a top-notch confrontation ability. There are Sevilla fans.
"Do you think it's possible for our club to bring him?" Someone asked.
After he opened his question, the other fans stopped squeaking, and it was obvious that everyone's answer was very unanimous, that is, it was basically impossible.
It is irrefutable that Sevilla did not have the financial resources and the attraction to acquire the Chinese superstar.
Even if they go to ridicule Chen Yufeng for being old, there will be a useless day in the future, they have to admit that even if Chen Yufeng really declines, they Seville can't afford it.
'Still, Sampaoli's attacking football gave me some hope of beating Leicester City, who are unique in Spain. There are fans who say.
Because of the position, Sevilla fans must have to let go of their appreciation and respect for Chen Yufeng today, and they regard Chen Yufeng more as a big boss, hoping that the team can pass this difficult script.
"I feel like we have a big chance of winning, we have a lot more European experience than them." There are fans who say.
"On the other hand, everyone thinks about how happy we will be if we beat Leicester, and then think about the reason for the coolness?" Some fans reminded me.
The meaning of his words is also obvious, that is, to remind everyone to give up self-comfort and face up to the strength of Leicester City.
"I don't care about anything else, I just give my support and expectation, and I'll accompany the team to Leicestershire for the second leg." There are Sevilla fans who say last.
โฆโฆโฆโฆ
Not long after, after the warm-up, Chen Yufeng followed Ranieri to the pre-match press conference.
This is the final link, and after the press conference, they will officially take to the pitch to start the team's first Champions League knockout game.
This is a historic moment.
"What does it feel?" Ranieri looked at Chen Yufeng and smiled.
"Excited, nervous, feeling like I'm getting filled, like I've taken medicine."
Chen Yufeng replied with a smile.
The knockout rounds of the Champions League, it's a whole new moment again.
He is always full of expectations and passion for this new arena.
He knows that as long as he fights one opponent after another, it will be very fast to go from the top 16 to the finals.
The two soon arrived at the press conference, where Sevilla coach Sampaoli was already being interviewed, and it seemed that it was almost the last minute.
'I repeat, we're not going to be afraid of Chen Yufeng, we're not going to be afraid of Mahrez, they're a duo but we're not the same, our attacking football is enough for everyone in the team to score.'
Sampaoli's voice came out of the door: "Today I will let everyone know how embarrassed the traditional English team will be in front of the delicate Spanish team, especially when this delicate Spanish team will give full play to their talents in attack." โ
Sampaoli is also a famous handsome, and his personality can be seen from his appearance, rough, passionate, and conceited.
When he said this, Ranieri and Chen Yufeng did not have any surprises.
After about two minutes, Sampaoli came out of it.
When passing by Chen Yufeng and Ranieri, he chose to ignore it and walked straight to the door of his locker room.
This also made Lester, the master and apprentice, look at his back in some astonishment.
"We'll just see what he looks like after the game." Chen Yufeng smiled lightly and pointed to the door to let Ranieri go first.
He likes people with a character like Sampaoli, and he likes to see contrasts.
"There are thirteen minutes left in the game, which means that the players will be in the tunnel in about five minutes."
As soon as Ranieri walked into the press conference room, he pointed to his watch and said, "That's why we're going to have three minutes for the interview." โ
There was an uproar in the audience, and Chen Yufeng, who walked in, took over the conversation very well, and the cooperation between the two of them was already very good, "Sorry, Mr. Sampaoli has delayed too much time, I understand the concentration of the Spanish media on the Spanish team, but please also understand Leicester City." โ
After saying this, the reporters in the audience did not waste much time and quickly began to ask their own questions.
Their first question was for Chen Yufeng: "Mr. Chen Yufeng, this is the first time in your career that you have played against a La Liga team, and it is also your debut in the knockout round of the Champions League. โ
"Faced with two unfamiliar situations, will a top shooter like you be nervous about the unknown?"
"Hahaha......" Before he finished speaking, Chen Yufeng laughed directly, "Although the method has changed, it is similar to what Mahrez guessed." โ
After he muttered, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Next." โ
Such a mentally retarded question, he didn't want to answer.
He just wants to stand on the pitch and try how difficult it is for the media to talk about the delicate La Liga team and the fierce competition in the Champions League knockout match!
Two and a half minutes later, the interview ended, and Ranieri and Chen Yufeng walked out of the room and went to the dressing room for final preparations.
The big war is about to begin.

Jurgen Klopp leaving Liverpool? I just said two days ago that he is this team, this team is him, what do you think.
