Chapter 174: Farewell to the Blue Fox Fans and Players in Tears! Chen Yufeng officially joined Atletico Madrid!
On June 14, Chen Yufeng, who is still carrying out regular life and training, finally finalized the date of his final joining.
On the 20th, he will go to Madrid, Spain, to officially sign a sky-high contract with Atletico Madrid with a weekly salary of 550,000 euros after tax and a signing fee of 35 million euros.
And the next day held a press conference, joining ceremony.
Although I am happy to get this price, I am not surprised.
With the influence and strength he has now, he definitely deserves this, and he believes that he is a great value for money anywhere.
I think of myself from obscurity to superstar in the past two years!
Remembering that I'm about to spell out a historical level!
Chen Yufeng felt a burst of relief.
A day of hope is a day, and hope is the greatest spiritual pillar for people to live in the world!
That is, if you are leaving, you will inevitably feel a little empty in your heart......
[Physical Fitness -6!] Demon Repository Current Stamina Points: 82! 】
After pulling his physical strength to 38, Chen Yufeng lay on the bed to offset the side effects, and at the same time began to think about some things.
During this time, there was little contact between him and the rest of the team, and Ranieri and Vichai and others only spoke to him on the phone, but did not meet in person.
Everyone seems to maintain a special tacit understanding.
The point of breaking the tacit understanding, everyone understands - the transfer of Leicester City players has officially appeared on the transfer website.
Rumors and limits are close to each other, and they can't be counted, because there's still room for maneuver.
Before that, those who were going to leave were reluctant to say, and those who were going to stay were afraid of being disturbed.
Sounds a bit like a relationship between a man and a woman?
No, it's more like a scene where college roommates are separated, provided that you get along well with these roommates, and all of them are like glue.
Chen Yufeng has never been a hypocritical person, but he is also not an emotionless machine, of course he can feel the shock on the eve of the collective breakdown.
"Klose, Morgan, Danny Simpson, these three guys are almost certain to retire. Leaving with applause after success is indeed a good node. ”
"Bless them."
'For the rest, there aren't many people who can stay, Jamie Vardy, Schmeichel, Hut, Fox, Albrighton...... I don't know if Drinkwater is leaving. ”
Just as he was thinking, Chen Yufeng heard a few knocks on the door.
He walked to the door and opened it, only to find Mahrez's face in front of him.
was recuperating from loneliness, seeing this familiar and funny face, Chen Yufeng immediately smiled, and his mood was much better.
"Come around and make me a cup of coffee." Mahrez walked into Chen Yufeng's villa, he must have been here.
"Goodbye is all opponents, what coffee will you make, make a cup of poison to poison you." Chen Yufeng came to the coffee machine and said something poisonous.
The relationship between teammates is like this, the closer you are to whom, the closer your character will be.
Or maybe Chen Yufeng at this moment is deliberately looking for a picture of the two of them laughing and playing in the past.
"Sure? I'm here today to tell you about it. Mahrez turned his head, his expression becoming more serious.
"Hmm." Chen Yufeng didn't say much.
"There's a farewell ceremony."
Mahrez said what he meant, he looked at Chen Yufeng's face, and observed in detail: "They don't dare to tell you, they don't dare to invite you." ”
"Some people don't want you to go, and they still hold on to the last hope. There are still those who want to leave, but they don't dare to face them, for fear that you will talk about them again. ”
"Don't dare to face me?" Chen Yufeng looked disgusted, "What bullshit." ”
"Did they think of me as a fan? Hahaha...... If you have these meaty words, let's tell the fans, I don't eat this set. ”
"Besides, am I some heinous demon? Others have to say two words about everything, a daddy? ”
"Everyone is leaving, don't say anything about anyone, don't treat this incident as something bad, and don't kidnap others morally."
"It's good to get together and disperse, we are worthy of the fans here, and the fans are worthy of us."
Chen Yufeng could clearly feel the throbbing and panic in his heart at this time, and he didn't know where this started.
As a result, his desire to express his emotions became stronger and he talked more.
Mahrez smiled and shook his head, not saying anything for the time being.
The two sat and watched TV and drank a cup of coffee until news about their team appeared on the TV again.
is still the same as before, the footage of them winning the championship was put on and on, and everyone also gave a certain interview picture.
'Danny Delinkwater is also leaving, and Chelsea have bought him out with N'Golo Kante.' Mahrez said suddenly.
"Earlier than the previous life." Chen Yufeng thought silently in his heart, nodded on the surface, and there were no mood fluctuations.
"I don't know if it's embarrassing to meet in the Premier League in the future."
Mahrez laughed again, as if he wanted to be more boyish, "I've spoken to Pep Guardiola a lot and Man City really fit me, really really fit me. ”
'We're going to sweep all the Premier League rivals and beat you in the Champions League.'
"You're out of luck if you run into us."
"Okay, I'll get you guys to withdraw money." Chen Yufeng interrupted him with a look of disgust, and then said seriously: "I will definitely go to the farewell ceremony, which day?" ”
Mahrez turned his head and his expression moved, he had completed the task he had come to this time, "The day after tomorrow, the Royal Power Stadium." ”
…………
On June 16th, the days were fast advancing, and the weather was getting hotter.
The Premier League has an off-season, and it stands to reason that fans should calm down, work hard for a while, or go on holiday.
But Leicester is different today, as if there is a big event going on, and many people are sitting together in the Blue Foxes shirt early, as if discussing something.
Many heads of fan organizations also gathered the small leaders together and urgently arranged banners and other objects.
There are many people who are not so well-informed, and they were stunned when they saw this scene, and they hurried home to see the tickets after asking, but unfortunately, it was already late.
The stadium began to fill up around 1 p.m., and the gaps in the crowd that were difficult to see with the naked eye were quickly filled.
With a capacity of more than 30,000, it is full.
The farewell ceremony is about to begin, and the fans have mixed expressions and their hearts are like knives.
They don't want to see familiar faces walk out of the tunnel and wave at them in suits, telling them they're leaving.
"A perfect season has passed, and I think it's time to say goodbye."
The host of the scene began to introduce the opening remarks: "At the last time we met some of the players, I would like to say that no matter what, we should remember what they have done to Leicester City over the past two years. ”
"They are the first generation of players in the Foxes' era of honour, players destined to leave a mark on the club's history, without them there would be no six titles."
"Let's start with Mr. Ranieri, Mr. Vichai, and some of the veterans of the team."
To a burst of loud applause, Ranieri and the veteran players walked out of the pitch.
The veteran players mentioned here are not all real veteran members, but more of those who will stay in the team.
Leicester fans know this all too well.
When Vardy and the others walked out, the applause suddenly stopped, and everyone fell into an uproar, and the sound of noisy shouting poured into everyone's ears.
Too little!
Too few people are left!
It's not that they haven't looked at the transfer news during this time, and it's not that they haven't looked at the rumors that are floating around the world.
Everyone also knows that there are a few players who will definitely go.
But I didn't expect that the old blue fox could only leave these people?
Or even pull some numbers up from the youth team?
"I didn't expect Drinkwater to leave too!"
"Can Drinkwater stay another season? And Kante. ”
"Oh my God, what's left on our team?"
"I need some time to come to terms with the reality we're bound to face, sorry."
"It's too fast, it's too fast, it's not a buffer, it feels like the team is falling apart in an instant."
"At the moment, I can only believe in the team's next recruitment, and I must make achievements with everyone's hard work in exchange for so much money."
"I still want to keep them!"
“……”
Inside the Players' Tunnel.
Chen Yufeng and Mahrez leaned against the wall on one side, looking out of the stadium.
They could probably hear the commotion outside, and they knew what it was all about.
Both of them had mixed expressions.
Chen Yufeng fell silent as he looked at the murals on both sides of the wall, if there was no surprise, this was the last time he had walked here in recent years.
He still remembers the impulse and excitement he felt when he first walked through here.
Forget it, needless to say, he hopes that he can spend this last day in a good mental state.
"Morgan, Klose, Danny Simpson have made this the last stop of their careers, let's bring them out first and give them a retirement ceremony." The voice of the host in the venue rang out.
Morgan, Klose, and Danny Simpson walked out first.
Unlike the others, they also wear Leicester City shirts, which means they are still Blue Foxes.
Even Klose, a newcomer to the year, has a strong sense of identity and affection here, and chooses to retire in blue.
......The applause of the fans rang out again, and they naturally paid tribute to the retired people.
Morgan, as the former veteran captain, received the most cheers.
Although Klose and Danny Simpson are not absolute mainstays this season, they are still recognized by many people.
In fact, they also have this kind of recognition and gratitude for the transfer players, and Leicester City fans are not pedantic, not unreasonable.
It's just that after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some feelings that are difficult to let go. Especially when the thought of them wearing the jerseys of other teams in the future makes the fans feel like knives.
Football is no longer a sport here, it's more like something they're born with.
It's faith.
And this player in blue represents the belief of Blue Fox fans, how can they stand the rebuilding substitution in a short period of time.
It would be okay if they didn't succeed, but they had just passed a prosperous era.
in the passage.
watched Morgan and Klose burst into tears one after another, and said some goodbye and blessings to the fans one after another.
Chen Yufeng was slightly moved.
He doesn't know when his retirement will be.
Judging by his goal, it may be many years from now, right?
At that time, will he be able to retire from Leicester City, the place where his dream began?
Maybe he will, because he'll take it to heart, and he'll never forget everything here.
"I kind of want to cry what's going on." Mahrez said with red eyes next to him, and turned his head to look at Chen Yufeng.
Chen Yufeng didn't answer him, just turned his head away and took a deep breath, without looking at him.
In my previous life, there was a very famous topic on the Internet.
Why don't boys cry when they watch idol dramas and costume dramas, why don't boys cry when they are in what or something, are they iron-blooded?
Chen Yufeng can't answer why now.
But at this time, he must have understood what makes a boy feel sad.
Not long after, Chen Yufeng and others, dressed in casual clothes, stepped onto the court to make a final parting with the fans.
"Don't go! Keep playing here?! ”
"Chen Yufeng!! Ukaze!! ”
"Ah......h
Chen Yufeng was the first to walk out of the stadium from the players' tunnel, and he felt the restlessness and uneasiness in the field for the first time.
He doesn't like to say goodbye, he doesn't like to step into the pitch in this atmosphere.
So every step he took was extremely difficult, extremely poignant, and even a little uncoordinated.
"It's just that I rarely walk around the stadium in casual clothes, and it's always a little uncomfortable to do less things." Chen Yufeng comforted himself in his heart over and over again.
Behind him, Riyad Mahrez, N'Golo Kante, Danny De Linkwater, Achraf and Odegaard all arrived, and the loan players joined in saying goodbye.
Some burst into tears, others smiled and greeted the fans.
They all refused to pick up the microphone and talk to the fans, only babbling in their own voices.
These billionaire superstars, who are worth more than 10 million, all reveal their vulnerability at this moment.
Chen Yufeng wandered around the field for a while with his hands in his pockets, focusing on the area from the goal to the corner flagstick, because this is the area where he often slips and kneels.
Over the course of two years, he scored hundreds of goals with the club, 60 of which were at home.
He was absolutely impressed with the meadow.
Not to mention, he also celebrates here with his teammates after the assist......
They really left a lot of good memories here, and the laughter of the past still seems to echo in his ears.
In the fan area, looking at the silent Chen Yufeng.
Malhard, an old fan with Chen Yufeng's photo frame at home, came to the guardrail with the support of his wife.
He dragged his legs and squeezed forward, striving to get a little closer to Chen Yufeng, so that his words could be heard by Chen Yufeng.
"I'm going to sell your jersey frames! Did you hear that? I'm going to sell it to raise money for my old age! ”
"I know you're not going for the money and you're not without feelings for the club."
Mahhard's expression was extremely moving, "However, the lack of you in this team is equivalent to the lack of team spirit, I don't know how many years we will have to go through to see another prosperous era come out!" ”
"Maybe I'll never have a chance again in this life."
"You can bring us all this! But also to take it all away! Don't blame you! ”
In the end, Marchard did not hold back, and said the words of blessing with tears, "I wish you a happy life at Atletico Madrid, we will pray for you, we will always love you!" ”
"Come on! Check back when you have time! ”
At this time, a banner was also pulled out from the north stand of the stadium, on which the name of each player was clearly written, and Chen Yufeng's name was particularly large.
"Come on! Dream Chaser, wherever you go, we're here to cheer you on! ”
Today they are divided, jumping sideways from side to side, and there is no way around it.
Two very different emotions filled their hearts, which made them unable to identify with this proud farewell greeting, nor with the words that they said when their mouths were hard.
"One more! Whether it's a somersault or a kneeling, we'd love to see it again! ”
"Yes, another one!"
"Chen Yufeng, let's slip and kneel once!"
The fans are shouting again, and on this day, they are eager to see one last celebration that has brought them joy in the past.
Chen Yufeng, who was near the corner flag area, heard the cries of the fans, and he showed a not very embarrassed expression, looking back left and right.
When he saw his teammates come to him and jump to the try, he let go of other thoughts in his heart.
"Come on!"
Chen Yufeng took the lead and ran to the corner flag area, slid out in a dashing manner, clenched his hands in front of his chest and compared his two guns, and made that common pose: "Boom!" Boom! Boom……!! ”
Beside him, Riyad Mahrez, Drinkwater, and Odegaard slipped out on their knees.
N'Golo Kante and Achraf mimicked a Cristiano Ronaldo-like celebration, while the retired trio that came up next had their own tricks.
Morgan made his Usain Bolt's bow to shoot the eagle owl as a tribute to his idol; Danny Simpson kicked the corner flagpole, and Klose still took to the air and made a reluctant somersault.
A large group of people came out in a dashing manner near the corner flag area, perhaps their movements were not as energetic as in the past, and they were not enough to arouse the emotions of anticipation of everyone as in the past.
But in these last moments, the fans were still willing to give them their most sincere cheers: "yes——!! ”
Time, frozen at this moment, everything in Leicester City, is over.
Maybe it will start again in the future, or maybe it will all be over.
When people say goodbye, they don't always know if it's goodbye.
……………………
At noon on June 19, Chen Yufeng was at his home in Leicester City.
[Physical Fitness -6!!] Physical Strength in the Demon Repository: 88! 】
Lying on the bed in the bedroom, Chen Yufeng completed another addition.
Familiar feelings strike again.
This time he didn't have much time to rest, and after packing his luggage, he got into the business car that he had booked long ago and headed for the airport accompanied by Chen Binghua.
"The car and those big items can be checked in the back, and the other furniture is not necessary, you can leave it here, and find someone to pull it away." Chen Yufeng said loudly.
"Well, I'll finish dealing with some follow-up things, and I'll come over in the twenties." Chen Binghua nodded.
"I don't think anyone leaked the news." Chen Yufeng smiled.
Originally, he could have left on the 20th, but that was the day he joined Atletico.
But since he had already picked a luxury home in Madrid and was ready to finalize the contract payment today, he was a day early.
Another reason is that he doesn't want to see someone come to see him off.
It's better to be quiet when you leave, maybe Chen Yufeng is more afraid of trouble.
"Probably not, it can't be everywhere, right?"
Chen Binghua smiled, "If someone leaks the news that you are leaving this time, then the ghost is me." ”
"Hahahaha." Father and son laughed.
When they got to Madrid, they were going to live separately.
The house is big, living together has no effect, and it is really good to take care of each other.
However, as the careers of both father and son are thriving, their respective things have become more and more, and their social circles have become more extensive, and it is definitely more comfortable to live separately.
The preliminary plan is that Chen Yufeng lives in the house he bought, and Chen's father rents a house and sleeps on the first floor and the second floor.
Soon, the van pulled into the underground garage of the East Midland Airport.
Chen Yufeng and Chen's father took the elevator to the terminal together, and then felt a very violent roar come into their ears.
“Feng! Feng……! Feng……!! "There was a voice from downstairs in the terminal.
Chen Yufeng suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Binghua with a very strange expression, as if to say, is it really you who betrayed me?
Chen's father looked innocent, but he was also very surprised, and he came to the railing near the terminal to look down, and then he was stunned.
Chen Yufeng also came quickly and looked down.
At this moment, he was more fortunate that he was wearing a formal suit and was quite handsome.
Because there are too many people downstairs, the crowd of black pressure occupies at least seventy or eighty square meters according to preliminary statistics!
Thousands of people took part in this final farewell.
This is definitely not the result of a few people squatting, but someone has already leaked the news, and the fans have already begun to prepare.
Is it a property investment company, or Leicester City FC itself?
Except for Chen Binghua, they knew that Chen Yufeng was gone today.
"Forget it, no matter." Chen Yufeng looked down and squeezed out a reluctant smile.
The fans held Leicester City's scarves and wore Leicester City's away white jerseys, as if expressing to Chen Yufeng that when they went to a foreign country, they must remember their hometown.
Laughing reluctantly, it doesn't mean that Chen Yufeng is not moved, on the contrary, he is very moved, but he doesn't know how to face these people, "Haven't you already said goodbye once, and you have to come a second time." ”
He waved his hand downward, insisting that he wanted to pick up his luggage and leave, but he was still a little reluctant to look back, and walked back for a long time.
“When you are smiling……!”
“When you are smiling……!”
“The whole world smiles with you……!”
The familiar singing sound sounded, and Chen Yufeng felt goosebumps all over his body, and his skin felt a little numb.
He had no choice but to raise his hands and go to the railing to raise his hands and sing with the fans.
Chen's father watched his son's every move from the sidelines.
With tears in his eyes, he was moved not only by these true feelings, but also by his son.
From a mascot to an absolute superstar that people respect and miss.
He, indeed, is not easy...... It's really worth it all.
"You made it." Father Chen said in his heart.
After a long, long time, finally before the plane was about to board, Chen Yufeng took a deep breath and turned around and walked into the airport.
In the fan zone, players such as Ranieri and Mahrez, who have not yet left, put down their hands.
"Ahem......"
Chen Yufeng, who walked into the airport hall, coughed, and he seemed to realize that this was the real end.
