Chapter 97 Friendship Cup
"Louis, I think you need to pay attention to the wind." In Van Gaal's office, Hawke, Van Gaal's assistant, found him with a worried tone.

"Huh~~?" Van Gaal looked up at his assistant, then lowered his head and continued to work. At this moment, he was writing and drawing in a huge black notebook, apparently studying Bayern's formation and tactics.

"I think it's impossible for you not to see Feng's mentality. His current mentality is very dangerous. If something goes wrong, he will have conflicts with Mark and Bastian. Mark is the captain of the team, and Bastian is Bayern's own child. This is not conducive to his integration into the team."

"I know~~~Indeed, there is something wrong with Feng's mentality. He regards Mark and Bastian as enemies. Everything has its disadvantages and advantages. On the other hand, this also prompts Feng to work harder. You should notice that during this period, Feng is improving almost every day," Van Gaal still put down the pen in his hand, looking at his old friend and explained.

"Naturally, Feng's recent performance is obvious to all. He has made such great progress in such a short period of time and changed a lot of bad habits in Volendam. This proves Feng's excellence, but we must not forget that Feng is just a rookie. If he really has conflicts with the old players of the team, Feng will definitely be unable to move forward in the team." Hawke affirmed Li Feng's progress, but on the other hand, Li Feng's mentality towards Van Bommel and Schweinsteiger is indeed worrying.

"Don't worry, I won't let this kind of thing happen. In fact, I let them go during this period just to see their performance." Seeing that the old friend is still so worried, Van Gaal is not keeping it.

"There is competition and pressure to make progress. Feng has proved to me that my vision is not wrong. His talent in organizing offense is unparalleled, but at the same time I worry that he is too young. Young people are always prone to pride and complacency, so they will slack off. That's why I stimulated him with Mark and Bastian to let him know that his position is not my only choice, but Bastian's performance surprised me," Van Gaal explained.

"Then you want to handle their relationship like this?" Hawke didn't expect Van Gaal to think so far about Li Feng, so one can imagine how much he loves Li Feng.

"Actually, Feng can coexist with Mark or Bastian. The main problem lies in Feng's mentality, which proves that this kid is immature in this respect. When he plays with Mark or Bastian, he always unconsciously pays too much attention to these two people." Van Gaal couldn't help laughing when he said this question.

"Then how do you solve this problem?" Hawke was also curious. Seeing Van Gaal's confident look, it seemed that he already had a solution.

"Of course, it's easy to say, if you confirm the kid's position in the team and let him have no worries, then everything will be no problem. Feng is not a selfish player, and he also has a certain defensive ability. As long as his position in the team is established, he can do everything he can for the team's victory. This is the case in Volendam," Van Gaal said.

"So simple?" Hawke looked at Van Gaal in disbelief.

"Of course we still need to convince Mark and Bastian, but I think this should not be a problem. After training and confrontation for a period of time, Feng's talent in organizing offense is obvious to all. In my tactical conception, four people can form different combinations. Feng and Bastian's attacking midfielder, Bastian and Mark's oppressive midfielder, Mark and Anatole's destructive midfielder, and Li Feng and Anatole's offensive and defensive balanced midfield combination." Van Gaal demonstrated his tactics in his notebook.

"It seems that my worries are unnecessary." Seeing that Van Gaal had already planned the midfield tactics, Hawke also breathed a sigh of relief, and then stopped staying in Van Gaal's office.

It has to be said that Van Gaal has good intentions for Li Feng and treats Li Feng like his son. Of course, Li Feng doesn't know this, and Van Gaal doesn't need Li Feng to know. He only needs Li Feng to win for the team on the court.

From Van Gaal’s office, you can just see Bayern’s training ground. On the training ground at the moment, a figure is burying his head in training. Van Gaal knows who this person is, and he can see this figure every day. His efforts have moved Van Gaal. In his coaching career, Van Gaal has not seen hard-working players, but it is really the first time he has seen a player who works as hard as Li Feng.

A few days later, before the start of the "Audi Cup", Van Gaal talked to Li Feng and the three of them, and clearly told Li Feng that he was his first choice, but Van Gaal also asked Li Feng not to slack off in the slightest, otherwise he would put him on the bench without hesitation.

Sure enough, after getting a clear answer from Van Gaal, the cooperation between Li Feng and the other two improved significantly, especially the cooperation with Schweinsteiger, which almost broke Van Bommel and Tymoshchuk in midfield, which made Van Gaal on the sidelines couldn't help but nod.

In Van Gaal's vision, Li Feng and Schweinsteiger will form Bayern's main midfielder for the new season, with Li Feng as the main midfielder and Schweinsteiger as the supplement, so that the team's offensive ability can be maximized, and both of them have a certain defensive ability, so the defensive pressure on the rear will not be too great.

The time came to the end of July in a blink of an eye, and the Audi Cup was about to start. Just as Li Feng hoped, AC Milan and Manchester United both accepted Audi's invitation and came to Munich, Germany. Of course, there was another giant Boca Juniors from Argentina.

During the period, in order to thank Chinese car fans and fans for their support to Audi, Audi cooperated with a well-known domestic website and invited Chinese fans to Munich, Germany to watch the matchup between the four giants on the spot. Of course, Audi paid for the whole process.

In addition, there is a Chinese player in the Bayern lineup, which unintentionally magnifies the attractiveness countless times. What's more, Manchester United and AC Milan have both chased Li Feng.

For this reason, Audi negotiated with the website again and again, and finally increased the number of people. Finally, a group of [-] people came to Munich to cheer for Li Feng. Of course, this little money is nothing to Audi, and doing so will greatly enhance Audi's image.

In the end, the result of the Audi Cup draw was exactly what Li Feng expected. The first match was Manchester United VS Boca Juniors, and the second match was Bayern Munich VS AC Milan. Against AC Milan, Li Feng was full of anticipation. Even the usual training was like taking stimulants, which made his teammates a little confused.
