Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 72

The next day, when the morning training was over, Li Yi found Yan Feng, who was still training on his own, in his office.

"Yan Feng, sit down." Li Yi asked Yan Feng to sit on the chair in front of the desk.

"Brother Yi, what's the matter with you looking for me today?" Yan Feng asked a little strangely.During the training class throughout the morning, he felt that something was wrong with Li Yi.He always felt that Li Yi was preoccupied and not in the mood.Moreover, Li Yi rarely asks himself to come to his office, and he often goes to his dormitory to drink tea.

"Hehe. Of course it's a good thing to find you here today." Li Yi said with a smile.

"A good thing? True or false? What good thing?" Yan Feng didn't believe it very much, and it didn't look like there was any good thing from Li Yi's appearance.What a good thing, Li Yi would not laugh so reluctantly.What's more, Yan Feng doesn't think he can do anything good at this stage.He tried to think and think, but still couldn't think of anything good that he could do.

"Hehe. You'll know after you take a look." Li Yi smiled and handed a document to Yan Feng.

"Contract?" Yan Feng took it and saw the word contract printed on the top, his eyes lit up immediately.Yan Feng has been waiting for a formal player contract for a long time. After playing for the team for so long, his contract is still the same labor contract as a labor contract at the beginning.Although he has always taken money very lightly, he doesn't have much material desire.But after suffering for so long, he also wanted to improve his life.The front team has been very difficult, and he didn't want Li Yi to be difficult, so he didn't mention the contract treatment.Unexpectedly, not long after the club's investors changed, the emperor transferred himself a real player contract.This surprised Yan Feng very much, and he was happy and excited.This is the team's true recognition of their player status and recognition of their abilities.

"The remuneration is not high. It is similar to the contract of a young player. The only difference is that the contract period is only two years. Although the team's situation has improved, there are still many difficulties. I can only help you win these." Li Yi said to Yan Feng apologetically.In his heart, this contract is far from worthy of Yan Feng's strength.

"It doesn't matter. This contract is much better than the previous labor contract." Yan Feng said with a smile.He is already very satisfied with being able to sign a formal player contract.Besides, he eats enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry. Nowadays, he usually has no expenses at all, and all his food and expenses are in the team.

"Your strength is far from what this contract can reflect. Hey, it's a pity that I don't have the ability to give you better treatment." Li Yi's face was a little dark.

"Haha, Brother Yi, don't worry about it. I haven't even played in the amateur league before, and now I can play in the Chinese League, thanks to your promotion, Brother Yi. For someone like me, being able to play professional games is simply a wonder. I myself dare not even dream about it. In my opinion, I can’t find anyone like me in the whole world.” Yan Feng thought that the emperor felt guilty because he couldn’t give himself a higher treatment.On the contrary, he is more grateful to the emperor, thinking that everything he has now is brought by the emperor.

Li Yi walked to Yan Feng's side and patted Yan Feng's shoulder vigorously as he had done many times.

"You are a very talented person. I hope to see you become a star player with outstanding strength one day. I hope you will continue to work harder and continue to improve your technical ability in the future."

"Haha, don't worry, brother Yi. My hard work is obvious to all. I know that I have fallen behind others for many years. I have been practicing more and will train harder in the future. I will never disappoint brother Yi What I expected." Yan Feng first smiled and punched the Emperor on the shoulder, but then he became very serious.

Li Yi didn't speak, but nodded and punched Yan Feng back.

"I'm leaving, Brother Yi, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"Go. Do you think you can escape this evening?"

"Haha, I finally have a new contract. A formal player contract, oh yeah! ``````" Yan Feng's laughter kept coming from outside the door, and the joy and excitement in it couldn't be concealed .

Listening to Yan Feng's voice going away, Li Yi's mood was different.There is an indescribable taste, there is unwillingness, helplessness, and disappointment.

"It's up to you in the future, Yan Feng. I thought I would have enough time to bring you out, but I didn't expect it to be until today."

Li Yi felt it was a pity to deal with Yan Feng.If I had met Yan Feng ten years earlier, no, even five years earlier, with Yan Feng's physical talent.He felt that he could definitely train Yan Feng into a football monster that shocked the world.

It's a pity that Yan Feng came into contact with professional football really late, no, considering his age, it should be too late.If it was someone else, or if the situation of the Shenzhen team was not as bad as it was at the beginning of the game, it can be said that no one would have thought of letting Yan Feng play the game.

In fact, at the beginning of using Yan Feng, Li Yi also tried it with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.Unexpectedly, after trying it, I found that in terms of defense, Yan Feng's conditions are still very useful.Although he is still very lacking in technology and experience, with Yan Feng's diligence and his reuse, Li Yi believes that he can reach the level of Cai Huikang of the Shanghai SIPG team in the Chinese Super League.Maybe Yan Feng can surpass Cai Huikang in the end, because he has a better body, and it can even be said to be very scary.

But the world is unpredictable, after today, there will be very limited who I can help Yan Feng.After today, I don't know where I'm going to go.

From the moment he knew the team's decision yesterday, Li Yi's first thought was not what would happen to him in the future, but Yan Feng.With Yan Feng's background and reality, he doesn't know what the team will think of Yan Feng.Moreover, Yan Feng can be said to be his most direct disciple, so you don't need to think about how people will treat Yan Feng later.Maybe Yan Feng will be kicked out as soon as he resigns from office.Therefore, the only request Li Yi made to chairman Deng Junjie was to give Yan Feng a formal player contract.

Li Yi hopes that with this official contract, Yan Feng can stay in the team, and it will be fine if he is sold to other teams.Otherwise, if Yan Feng is kicked out by the team, it will be almost impossible to find a professional team to play in the future.

Li Yi is really worried about Yan Feng's future in football``````
On the other side, Yan Feng, who didn't know the truth, was still very happy to sign the official contract.

"Huh? I remember that players must have an agent when they sign a contract. Why don't I need it?"

Yan Feng is a rookie in football, so he doesn't know that not everyone has a manager.When his strength reaches the Super League level, he will probably be able to find an economic man.Given his own situation and current level, who would be able to see him as an economic agent?
In this way, Yan Feng devoted himself desperately to the team training in the afternoon with excitement.Yan Feng, who was immersed in the excitement, did not notice other abnormalities in the training at all.

After the team training, Yan Feng felt like he couldn't run out of energy and worked hard to practice for an extra hour.

After the extra practice, Yan Feng slowly walked back to his room with his equipment.On the way, I saw many players gathered around the team bulletin board, looking at something, and talking about it.

"What are you looking at?" Yan Feng squeezed into the crowd with some doubts.When he saw the content of the notice posted on the bulletin board, he was completely dumbfounded.

"How could this be? It's not true!" Yan Feng didn't want to believe what he saw.

A notice posted on the bulletin board reads: After research and decision by the Board of Directors of the Shenzhen Football Club, the positions of the head coach of the professional team and the head coach of the reserve team will be adjusted.Li Yi will no longer serve as the head coach of the club's professional team; Li Yi will serve as the club's technical director.The head coach of the professional team is Li Linsheng, the former head coach of the reserve team.I hope that Li Linsheng will be in the next league ````` There will be a bunch of stories about how Li Yi contributed to the team, how and what, and Li Linsheng's resume is also posted.

As for what was written in the other contents, Yan Feng was not in the mood to read it at all.His mind is full now: Li Yi no longer serves as the head coach of the team``````
"What's going on? Why is brother Yi suddenly not a coach?" Yan Feng was completely stunned, he didn't know what happened to cause this.

"Haha, it's dawn!" At this moment, Zhou Li deliberately approached Yan Feng to say this.

Its daybreak.This is what Li Yi said when he was a player of the Shenzhen team. After the head coach was fired, he expressed his feelings.This is a famous saying of the great emperor who was once well-known in China.I didn't expect Zhou Li to talk about Li Yi himself today.

"Oh, the emperor has been promoted, it's really dawn." "The team has changed, and justice has returned." "The spring of our powerful heroes has come. Haha..."...

Li Yi's resignation seems to be good news for a group of old players. Many people who were dissatisfied with the emperor are now making trouble.All kinds of ridicules and taunts kept blasting at Yan Feng, the emperor's disciple.

Yan Feng's mind is full of enthusiasm, and the joy of signing a new contract in the morning has disappeared.Yan Feng, who was in a mess in his mind and flustered, couldn't hear the rumors of Zhou Li and others at all.He pulled out the crowd, ignored the equipment at hand, and ran desperately to Li Yi's office.

When Yan Feng ran to Li Yi's office, he saw Li Yi holding a box of documents and looking at the head coach of the team with a face full of reluctance.

"Brother Yi! You..." Looking at Li Yi, Yan Feng knew that the announcement was true, and he couldn't tell the feeling in his heart, and he didn't know what to say to Li Yi.

Li Yi turned his head and saw that it was Yan Feng. He wanted to laugh but couldn't, so he took a deep breath. "Yan Feng, you are here, just in time, help me get some things. Let's go out for dinner later. You pay for this meal. You just signed a new contract today, so don't try to escape."

"Yeah!" Yan Feng nodded, a little sad but didn't know what to say.Yan Feng picked up the things that the emperor had already packed and packed, and followed him slowly out of the head coach's office.

"Bang." But when the door of the head coach's office was closed, Li Yi's heart was also closed.

After closing the door, Li Yi didn't know when he could open it again.Maybe there will be no chance in the future.

……

In the evening, in a food stall on the side of the road.

"Stinky boy. You just invite me to have a big meal here?" Li Yi glared at Yan Feng.

"Hehe, brother Yi. It's very expensive here. I have to spend at least 200 yuan for today's table. The two of us will get [-] yuan each." Yan Feng said with a heartbroken expression.

"You brat is picky. I had something good to do today. I thought you would treat me to dinner in a big hotel."

"Brother Yi, it's a place like a big hotel. When I become a big football star, I will treat you to a big meal." Yan Feng is really poor.Although he signed a new contract today, he didn't get the money right away.Some people may say, what about the signing fee?Yan Feng said that he has never seen it until now.It's not that he can't afford to go to a big hotel. He still has a month's salary in his pocket.But with the friendship between the emperor and him as a friend and teacher, there is no need to engage in such ostentation, and a place like a food stall is the most suitable place.Besides, Yan Feng has never eaten in the hotel lobby at such a young age.In his opinion, places like food stalls are places where good friends eat together. (There are a lot of food stalls in the Chaoshan area. Basically, many friends go to this kind of place for dinner.) Yan Feng knew what Li Yi said, and he didn't really think that Yan Feng's place to treat guests was low-end. Just to ease the atmosphere.

"Come on, have a drink with me." Li Yi raised his glass.

"Uh, brother Yi, didn't you say that it's best for professional players not to drink alcohol? Players should look like players."

"You stinky boy..."

"Forget it, I'll drink with you. Come on, I'll give up my life to accompany the gentleman today." Yan Feng is a person who doesn't like to drink, but with the emperor, he is still willing to drink.

"Hehe, don't. You're right, a player should look like a player." Li Yi stopped Yan Feng and drank all the wine in his hand.

"Brother Yi, drink slowly. There is plenty of wine."

"Come for food, the food in this place is pretty good."

After the two ate and drank for a while, Brother Yi drank another glass of wine in one gulp and looked at Yan Feng.

"Yan Feng, I won't be in the team anymore, you have to take some time off yourself." Although Li Yi is still the technical director of the team, everyone knows what happened.It is basically impossible for Li Yi to take care of Yan Feng in the future.The new head coach will never let him get involved in the team for half a point.

"Well, don't worry, Brother Yi, I've grown up a long time ago. It's enough for you to lead me through this door. I can only walk the rest of the way by myself."

"I believe that you will not disappoint me. Even if you are no longer in my hands, gold will always shine. If you have any problems that can help you in the future, you must come to me. Although I can help you now Not much to you."

"Well... Brother Yi, what are your plans for the future?"

"Plan? I still have a contract, so let's do it first. In the future, I plan to go to Europe to see and study." Li Yi has long wanted to study in the most advanced place in the world for football.Since becoming the head coach of the Shenzhen team, he has been exhausted.Having seen the situation of the Shenzhen team, he believes that real professional football should not be like this.He wants to go outside and see what real football is like.

"You can have this. When Brother Yi returns from his studies and takes charge of the Chinese Super League team, remember to take me to see it."

"Super League? It is necessary." Li Yi said proudly.

Taking charge of the Chinese Super League team can be said to be a major goal of his coaching after retirement.Going to further study is a step he must take.

Li Yi drank and looked at Yan Feng who was eating, and sighed inwardly.

Pity!If they hadn't met too late, there would definitely be a place for Yan Feng in world football in the future.However, his ability level is limited, and there is no way to quickly improve Yan Feng's technical ability.All the training methods he knows can't tap the potential of Yan Feng.Yan Feng still lost at the starting line.Others have trained professionally for more than ten years since childhood.But now Yan Feng's bones have already formed, no matter how hard he tries, he still has more than ten years less than others!
"Come on, cheers!" Li Yi shook his head, and stopped thinking about these useless things.It should be today, if you have wine today, you will be drunk today!

"Cheers!" Yan Feng raised Jia Duobao in his hand and touched Li Yi's wine glass. ...
