The new contract was cancelled.
Chapter 36: One million liquidated damages! [Please read!]
London.
Kearney training base.
In the team’s tactical room.
All the coaches of Arsenal’s first team were sitting in the dark room.
Only the light of the projection screen was reflected on their faces.
The tall, thin, white-haired old man sitting in the upper seat, concentrating on the projection screen, was Arsenal’s head coach, a Frenchman nicknamed “Professor” – Arsene Wenger!
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were on the projection screen.
And the picture on the screen was Ling Feng’s personal game video!
In fact, as early as when Ling Feng emerged in the third round of the FA Cup against Stoke City, an Arsenal scout who was responsible for finding future stars in the English Championship League discovered this amazing rough gem.
After the game, he immediately submitted his first rough scouting report to the scout department.
At that time, the scout department also recognized his judgment and assigned him to follow up on Ling Feng.
Therefore, in the next half a month, whether at home or away, the scout went to the game site to observe Ling Feng’s performance throughout the whole process.
The longer the inspection time, the more shocked and excited he was.
Ling Feng’s performance made him exclaim in his heart:
“England actually has such a creative young player in passing?!”
Looking at Ling Feng on the field, he felt like a pirate who had been searching for many years and finally found a priceless treasure!
So, on the night of the FA Cup, he called “Professor” Wenger and strongly asked him to sign Ling Feng immediately.
And today’s meeting was facilitated by him.
“He has many advantages.”
“He is very active in running and willing to cooperate with his teammates.”
“He has a broad vision and a steady style of play. He is a midfield commander.”
“The most amazing thing is his passing.”
“Every time he gets the ball on the court, he gives people a very threatening feeling, as if he can deliver a fatal blow at any time and anywhere.”
“Moreover, he has a superb ability to read the game and can change his playing style according to the different situations on the court.”
“The disadvantage is that his physical fitness is average, and his speed and strength are below the horizontal line. This means that his confrontation ability is poor and his ability to get rid of his feet is poor. Once he is pressed, he cannot move calmly or pass a threatening ball.”
“However, under our tactical system, this shortcoming of his will will be avoided to the greatest extent.”
“He has a good willingness to advance, but there are too few shooting data to judge his shooting skills.”
“In terms of defensive confrontation ability, he prefers to choose a position in advance and intercept the passing line.”
After watching Ling Feng’s personal game video and listening to the detailed report of the scout, the coaching staff of Arsenal recognized Ling Feng’s potential and combat effectiveness.
Then, the next question is:
Should we try to buy Ling Feng before the winter transfer window closes!
After 22 rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal topped the standings and won the Premier League half-time championship again.
However, the devilish schedule during Christmas caused Arsenal to suffer a wave of injuries:
“Little Tiger” Walcott was directly reimbursed for the season, and Wilshere, Chamberlain, Ramsey and Erdog, the biggest signing in the summer window, also suffered varying degrees of injuries.
Even so, as a representative team of the Premier League technical flow, Arsenal still has enough midfielders.
Veterans Rosicky, Arteta, and Flamini can temporarily replace the midfield position.
However, which head coach would complain that he has too many good players?
Besides, with Ling Feng’s current age and ability, he definitely has a place in this young Arsenal.
If he can be bought to fill the short-term vacancy in the midfield, Arsenal’s lead will be maintained until the last game of the season.
Then, this is definitely a transfer worth the money!
After careful consideration, Wenger reached out and pushed the reading glasses on his nose, and made a decision on the spot:
“How much do we need to sign him?”
In the summer window, Arsenal bought the German core midfielder Erdogan from Real Madrid at a record-breaking price of 50 million euros.
Although they wanted to strengthen, Arsenal and Wenger really couldn’t afford too much transfer fee.
According to Wenger’s estimate, if Ling Feng’s price exceeds 15 million, then Arsenal will not
will consider this deal.
Faced with this question, the scout who had been observing Ling Feng for more than half a month smiled slightly and then raised a finger.
“10 million pounds?”
“For a player who has played less than five games in the Championship? It’s a bit expensive.”
“I don’t think 10 million is expensive at all. You know, he is the core of the midfield that led Leicester City to defeat Chelsea. Moreover, he has made six assists in four consecutive games. Such performance is enough to prove his strength!”
Just as the coaches were discussing whether the price was worth it, the scout smiled even more.
At this time, he interrupted the argument:
“Everyone!”
“You all guessed wrong. I didn’t say 10 million, but 1 million!”
As soon as this was said, everyone in the room was stunned.
Including Wenger, he also showed a puzzled look.
“One million?! How is that possible?!”
“Yeah, are all the club executives of Leicester City fools?”
Faced with the shock and disbelief of the crowd, the scout tried to suppress the corners of his mouth and explained:
“According to my investigation, there is a penalty clause in the professional contract signed by Ling Feng at the age of 17 with Leicester City.”
“And the amount is only one million pounds!”
“So far, he has not renewed his contract with Leicester City.”
Hearing this, everyone in the room looked at Wenger who was sitting in the upper seat.
Only one million pounds can buy Ling Feng with unlimited potential? !
This is a pure bargain!
And Wenger didn’t care about being gentle and elegant. He turned to assistant coach Steve Bould without hesitation and said firmly:
“Make an offer to Leicester City immediately!”
They knew that Ling Feng’s contract penalty was only one million pounds.
This means that other Premier League clubs also know!
They must grab Ling Feng before other Premier League clubs make a move!
“Yes!”
Steve Bould immediately left the tactical room and sent an email to Leicester City Club.
Since raising money to build the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal’s owner Kroenke has given Wenger a lot of power in order to appease Wenger, the meritorious coach.
This naturally includes the power of transfer.
Therefore, as long as Wenger wants to buy a player, as long as the price is right, he will get the greatest support.
What’s more, this deal is only one million.
Wenger doesn’t even need to meet with the club’s top management to make a decision.
Since the TMS system was officially launched in 2010, the club’s transfer documents are generally communicated and transmitted through electronic means such as emails, and fax machines are rarely used.
And the transfer that was cancelled because of the faxed documents was just the scapegoat for the breakdown of negotiations between the two clubs.
It’s the same as Benzema’s head can be blamed for anything that happens in football.
