Full-Level Pass, Please Call Me The Boss Of The Three Lions

Chapter 191

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 191 Did I kick Ferdinand out of retirement?

Ferdinand’s status in English football needs no further explanation.

He is the pillar of England’s golden generation of defense, the most reliable choice for Ferguson’s defense, and one of the contributors to the creation of the Red Devils dynasty. He is known as the “Rolls-Royce of defenders”.

He is not only physically strong, but also has outstanding defensive awareness. More importantly, he is fast!

With both strength and speed, Ferdinand can be called a historical central defender in England!

And such a defensive superstar who has maintained a stable performance in the Premier League for many years, suddenly announced his retirement after the end of the season in the evening after a 0-7 defeat that day? !

Once this tweet was sent out, it quickly became a hot search on social media and instantly attracted a lot of attention from the English football world!

Such a shocking move also made many media smell the smell of explosive news.

Could it be that this big defeat made Ferdinand completely realize that he could no longer gain a foothold in the top league, so he thought about retiring after the season?

Or did something happen after the game that made Ferdinand discouraged and didn’t want to play football anymore?

For a time, all kinds of speculations were flying around.

And Ferdinand’s fans and many English fans all flocked to his social media account and posted in the comment area of ​​this tweet.

Either expressing regret or speaking out to retain him.

In the eyes of these fans, Ferdinand’s performance on the green field brought them happiness and passion.

Strictly speaking, Ferdinand is not only their favorite player, but more like their lost youth!

Therefore, they will feel more reluctant

Ling Feng, who has a mutual relationship with Ferdinand, also learned the news at the first time.

Sitting on the sofa at home, looking at Ferdinand’s tweet, Ling Feng couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Oh my god, did I push too hard?

Kick Ferdinand out of retirement? !

On second thought, he felt that this possibility was not great.

Judging from Ferdinand’s personality and career achievements, he is definitely not such a fragile person.

In fact, players who can become world-class stars are not fragile people.

In the world of football, victory and defeat are commonplace.

Even the two strongest people have experienced shocking defeats.

It is precisely because of the helpless defeat that they have experienced that they are more eager for the hard-won victory!

If you think about retiring after a disastrous defeat, you can’t become a professional player with such psychological endurance!

And Ferdinand can’t become the strongest central defender in England’s history!

Therefore, Ling Feng guessed that there should be no direct relationship between today’s disastrous defeat and the decision to retire.

Besides, Ferdinand, who is already 36 years old, has reached the end of his career.

The players themselves know best what their physical condition and competitive state are like.

The sports life of professional players is only in their thirties, and it is not surprising to retire when they reach the age.

After all, not every professional player has the special ability of super long standby like “young player” Buffon, “brother-in-law” Thiago Silva and “big Fengxian” Ibrahimovic.

. . .

The next day, Ferdinand, who was in London, accepted an exclusive interview with Sky Sports and responded to the sudden retirement statement.

Facing speculation from the outside world, Ferdinand claimed that there was only one reason why he chose to retire after the end of the season, that is, he believed that his body and state could no longer continue to fight in the top league!

In this game against Leicester City, when Ling Feng easily passed by him, he knew that he could no longer keep up with the pace of young people and it was time to stop.

It is worth mentioning that after retiring last year, Beckham made a classic joke known to many fans when he was interviewed by a certain media about why he retired.

He said that when he was easily passed by Messi in the game, he had the idea of ​​retiring!

Of course, the two of them were just joking.

The real reason is that as he gets older, his physical fitness and competitive state have declined significantly, and he can no longer play in the top league.

Moreover, he does not want to stay in the secondary or lower leagues, or go to the Middle East and the Chinese Super League to retire or make money.

It is better to retire directly and start to enjoy life.

.

Then, he also responded that he might try other careers and jobs after retiring in the season.

However, when this exclusive interview was broadcast, everyone ignored Ferdinand’s other interview content and only remembered this joke!

In a sense, it was Ling Feng who really kicked Ferdinand’s inner nostalgia for the green field away, making him determined to retire!

And Ling Feng’s outstanding performance and the “Seven Up” defeat were just the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

For a time, many media newspapers reported extensively.

As the saying goes, the back wave pushes the front wave, and the front wave dies on the beach!

Professional football has always been a cruel world of fierce competition.

There are very few professional players who can gain a foothold in the five major leagues.

And in every season, some people become famous with one ball, and some people retire lonely.

Today, the strongest central defender of England’s golden generation has become the “stepping stone” and “background board” of the hottest British star today, which is really sad.

However, there is a sense of destiny that heroes are fading and newcomers are emerging!

After seeing this interview, Ling Feng felt that it was very necessary to express his attitude and greetings to Ferdinand.

So, he got Ferdinand’s phone number through Rooney, and called him without hesitation.

Ferdinand was a little surprised by Ling Feng’s call.

On the phone, Ling Feng first expressed his respect for Ferdinand, the senior, and then clarified that he did not intend to make soup over him and send him a tragedy.

Ferdinand laughed at Ling Feng’s explanation, and comforted Ling Feng instead, saying that he did nothing wrong and didn’t need to care at all.

However, he explained to Ling Feng the reason for his retirement.

As early as May when he did not renew his contract with Manchester United, he had the idea of ​​retiring, just thinking about trying hard to see if he could stay on the top stage of the Premier League.

However, the facts gave him a hard punch!

Strong teams look down on me because I am old, and I can’t help the team to stabilize the defense in weak teams.

And this game with Leicester City just helped him make a decision.

A bottle of 7-Up made Ferdinand taste an unprecedented defeat.

At the same time, it also made him understand that with his current competitive state, he can no longer continue to play in the top league!

And he has no idea of ​​challenging other leagues. It is better to retire directly, return to the family, and take good care of his wife who has cancer.

This is why he announced his decision to retire after the end of the season that night.

His personality is the same as his defensive style on the court, decisive, without any procrastination!

. . .

After resolving the “misunderstanding” with Ferdinand, in order to celebrate the big victory against Queens Park Rangers and to celebrate moving into his new home, Ling Feng invited the whole team to his new home for a party that night.

He prepared a sumptuous buffet and various champagnes and drinks.

Bartenders, nightclub DJs, and some waiters were also invited to make the whole party more lively.

At around 7 o’clock in the evening, the mansion was brightly lit and melodious music echoed in the house.

And the guests drove various cars and came one after another.

Most of the teammates brought their girlfriends or wives.

On the contrary,

Therefore, seeing Ling Feng greeting guests alone, Vardy hugged and greeted him, and then asked directly:

“Where is your model girlfriend?”

“You mean Barbara?”

“Otherwise, who else?”

“She is still shooting in the United States.”

“Help yourself, go to the kitchen if you want to eat anything. If you want to drink anything, go to the bar.”

“Don’t worry, we won’t be polite to you”

After walking around the house, Vardy, holding a glass of champagne, found Ling Feng who was chatting with Lingard.

“Dude, your place is great, how much is the rent?”

“150,000, a year.”

Hearing this, Vardy was slightly stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

From his appearance, it seems that he is calculating his weekly salary, how many weeks it will take to afford such a luxury house.

As the team’s main striker and the team’s top scorer this season, Vardy’s weekly salary after the latest contract renewal is 50,000.

Although it is not as good as Ling Feng’s 70,000, it is also the highest salary in the team.

However, there are rumors that Arsenal and Liverpool, two giants, are interested in making an offer to Vardy in the winter window, hoping to win this hot English demon striker!

Arsenal did not intend to strengthen the center position this season.

However, in mid-August, the starting center Giroud was

He suffered an ankle fracture and missed three months.

In desperation, Wenger was forced to recruit forwards and bought Welbeck, who had no position, from Manchester United.

With Welbeck’s arrival, Wenger directly abandoned Sanogo, who was useless.

However, it was thought that Welbeck, who had excellent physical fitness and agile movement, could support the Gunners’ forward line.

However, this “Bebujin” really lived up to his nickname.

After disappointing Ferguson, Wenger was also disappointed.

In the three months since joining, he has only scored one goal in the league!

The number of goals actually tied Giroud, who just returned from injury last week and scored a goal in just thirteen minutes as a substitute!

Such a goal efficiency made Wenger put him on the bench without hesitation and let Giroud return to the starting lineup.

However, with the rise of three dark horses, Leicester City, Southampton and Swansea this season, Arsenal’s road to the top four has suddenly become more difficult.

In addition, the three-line battle of the league, the Champions League and the Football Association Cup is a huge test for Arsenal, which already lacks depth in the lineup.

So he took a fancy to Vardy, who can play both left winger and forward striker, hoping to continue to strengthen the team’s offensive firepower while weakening the strength of the opponents competing for the top four.

Of course, these are all media reports, and the authenticity is questionable.

However, Wenger has also praised Vardy’s impact and ability to seize opportunities in front of the media, and admitted that if there is a chance, he hopes to coach Vardy.

Compared with the stingy Arsenal, it is the other rumored object Liverpool that wants Vardy for a more convincing reason.

This season, with the departure of super striker Suarez and Sturridge’s “glass man” physique, Liverpool embarked on a “forward-seeking” journey as early as June.

One of the Red Army’s forward signings is to buy the team’s top scorer, the 32-year-old veteran Lambert, from Southampton, who performed well last season.

I thought that Sturridge, Lambert, and Borini were enough strikers.

But I didn’t expect that Sturridge was seriously injured just after the first round of the Premier League, and the estimated time of injury was as long as five months!

In addition to Lambert, who scored the first goal for the Reds three months after joining, the total number of goals scored by Liverpool’s strikers did not exceed five!

So, after a crazy search in the transfer market, Liverpool’s top management finally bought “Balotelli” from Milan in desperation!

They hope that this former Super Mario can regain his magic and help the Reds capture the city.

In this way, Liverpool’s forward line formed a “old, weak, sick and disabled” combination that was talked about by fans in later generations!

Old refers to Lambert, who is 32 years old;

Weak refers to Borini, who has a positive attitude but is useless;

Sick refers to Sturridge, who charges for two hours and talks for five minutes;

Disabled refers to Balotelli, who is world-class below the brain!

If you want to know if it’s bitter or not, think about the Red Army Liverpool!

The incompetence of the strikers has led to Liverpool’s offense this season relying on Sterling, who is nicknamed “thigh” by fans, as well as midfielders such as Gerrard, Coutinho, and Lallana.

Therefore, in order to enhance the goal-scoring ability of the strikers, the Red Army has set its sights on Vardy, who became famous in the World Cup in Brazil and performed well in the league.

Gerrard has also publicly expressed his admiration for Vardy, claiming that if Vardy can come to Liverpool, the team’s strength will definitely increase greatly, etc.

This is media news, or it may be a bait deliberately thrown out by Liverpool in order to lower the price.

After all, as the main striker of Leicester City, the 27-year-old Vardy is not worth much, only 15 million euros, even because of his old age.

However, if Leicester City really wants to let the team’s main striker go in the middle of the season, it will cost at least 20 million or more.

Although 65 million pounds were recovered from Suarez.

However, for Liverpool, which has already spent 100 million pounds on signings in the summer window, the bottom of the pocket has already been reached.

Moreover, in order to attract Vardy to leave Leicester City and join Liverpool, they need to offer attractive salary conditions and signing fees.

Therefore, using Gerrard’s reputation to “seduce” Vardy is also a reasonable and normal means.

If Vardy is willing to transfer, it will not be too late for them to make an offer.
