Young Football Player

Chapter 59 Influence

The time has entered the end of May. Apart from the non-New Year's Eve leagues in Northern Europe and Eastern Europe, the European leagues of all sizes are basically coming to an end, but there are still two European finals that have attracted much attention.

On May 19th, the UEFA Europa League final, Porto played against Braga, this is the final of a Portuguese Super League civil war.

The Portuguese Super League teams have grabbed a lot of points in the European competition this season. They occupied three places in the semi-finals of the Europa League, and now they are sweeping the finals again.

After the end of this season, the Portuguese Super League will be infinitely close to Ligue 1 in terms of points in the European war, and there is a possibility of surpassing Ligue 1 at any time.

Although Ligue 1 is known as one of the five major leagues, it has been weak in the European war, and now it is more likely to be squeezed out of the top five in the European war points.

Fortunately, regardless of the fifth league or the sixth league, the Champions League places are the same, there are three, the impact is not big.

In the end, Porto led by "Madman II" Boas defeated Braga 1-0 to win the championship, and another young coach in football has risen.

On May 28, the much-watched UEFA Champions League final officially kicked off, with Premier League giants Manchester United playing La Liga giants Barcelona.

Manchester United has reached three Champions League finals in four years, while Barcelona has reached two Champions League finals in three years. This is a real pinnacle battle.

It's a pity that the process was not at its peak. Barcelona led by Messi easily won the Manchester United 3:1, and secured the three consecutive Golden Globes in advance. Only Ferguson's trembling hands in the final were left, which brought out the dominance of the Cosmos team. .

This year's European finals are at least very convenient for British fans to watch. The Europa League final is held in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, and the Champions League final is held at Wembley Stadium in London. The distance is very close.

But Jackie Lee didn't join in the fun, he stayed in Dundee to rest.

Dundee can also be regarded as a small tourist city in Scotland. There is no shortage of sunny beaches, which is just convenient.

When Jackie Lee was basking in the sun in Dundee, the two exclusive interviews he had accepted with reporters from "Football Weekly" were also officially published in China.

The reason why it was delayed for a month was because after the interviews of Kang Ning and Xia Qing were sent back, they did get attention. The "Football Weekly" believes that this is a very topical news, and it needs to be processed carefully to make it a hot news.

At the same time, Corning, who is based in the Premier League, is also sending back news about Jackie Chan at any time, and has been processing it until now, and it finally appeared in the newspaper.

"European Football Rising Stars Going Out of China", this is the name of the report.

The report did attract a lot of attention when it came out, especially the report specifically described Lee Cheng Long’s life in China since he was a child and his relationship with various aspects of China. He deliberately portrayed Lee Cheng Long as an ordinary child who grew up in China. After leaving Europe, he grew into the current European football star.

To put it simply, it is a satire on the inaction of the Football Association. Football talents like Li Chenglong cannot be cultivated in China. When they go to Europe and have a suitable environment, they immediately grow into super rookies.

This was originally the favorite thing of "Football Weekly", sarcasm and satire of the Football Association.

I don't know if the Football Association is happy or not, but this report has indeed received widespread attention.

Li Chenglong has also changed from a Chinese Internet celebrity Chinese star at the beginning to a new football talent that has been widely discussed.

And there are even more discussions about him on the Internet.

"He played 34 times in one season, scored 15 goals and assisted 16 times, and almost made one goal per game. This data is really gorgeous."

"Suarez, a weak league like the Soviet Super League, shouldn't take the statistics too seriously. Suarez, who was introduced by Liverpool during the winter break this year, scored 43 goals and 20 assists in 39 games in the Eredivisie. Didn't he only score 4 goals in half a year in the Premier League? Still a league worse than the Eredivisie."

"You can't say the same thing upstairs, he's only 18 years old, he's got time to improve."

"Another season with five free-kicks,

This data is also very eye-catching. "

"This Li Chenglong said that he is willing to play for the Chinese team. Does the Football Association need to act quickly? Otherwise, he will have no chance to join the England or Scotland national team."

"Come on, the "Football Weekly" report used Lee Chenglong as a board to slap the Football Association in the face. Do you think the Football Association will invite back the board that slapped them in the face?"

"If you don't ask him to come back now, if Li Chenglong really kicks him out in the future, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?"

"They can also have an excuse. For example, the Football Association is currently fighting corruption, and there is no dedicated person in charge, so they missed it. What do you think of this reason?"

"Well, I failed to qualify for this year's Asian Cup group stage. If you don't rush to seize such a good opportunity now, you don't know when it will be the best."

"After reading the report, I feel that Jackie Chan is really an ordinary kid who grew up in China. He also played marbles and arcade machines like us when he was young. How could he become so good when he went to the UK?"

"In Europe, every child has the opportunity to prove his football talent, but in China, this opportunity is unique."

"Hearing you say that, I really feel a lot."

"I think I may also be a football genius. If I have a good chance to practice, maybe it's Li Chenglong from our southern Henan province."

"Who is Li Chenglong in southern Henan? Messi in the lower capital, I will come to fight you after I finish delivering this takeaway."

"Beckham in the lower east of Guangdong is currently moving bricks at the construction site."

"Van Persie in the Lower Northeast, currently selling alcohol at the bar."

"C Luo in Xiaxijiang, wait, someone came to buy mutton skewers, so I won't tell you."

While Li Chenglong was basking in the sun in Dundee, Dundee United also handled the buyout of Li Chenglong.

Crystal Palace really didn't want to sell it, but the contract was clearly written in black and white, and they couldn't go back on their word.

The only way for Crystal Palace to repent is to persuade Jackie Lee to agree to return to Crystal Palace, and then Crystal Palace will use other methods to compensate Dundee United so that Dundee United will not trigger the buyout clause.

Stephen Higham, the director of youth training at Crystal Palace, personally called Jackie Lee, trying to persuade him to go back to Crystal Palace and form two fast horses on the wing with Zaha. Get a better salary and get more attention.

However, Li Chenglong is not very interested in this kind of temptation.

For his current strength, Lee Chenglong is already more confident. Now he wants to perform well in the European competition next season, rather than going to the British Championship to help Crystal Palace upgrade.

Since Jackie Lee himself has no intention of returning to Crystal Palace, on June 10, Dundee United formally reached an agreement with Crystal Palace to buy out Jackie Chan's ownership at a price of 1.2 million pounds.

Li Chenglong signed a contract with Dundee United for 4 years, and his weekly salary was increased to 20,000 pounds. In addition, there are some trivial details, such as goal awards and assist awards, but Dundee United is a small team. It's just to give a little meaning.

During this period, Kate Lee also negotiated for Jackie Chan his first commercial endorsement in his life.

KFC invited him to speak for one year for £80,000, limited to Scotland.

It seems that Li Chenglong's current popularity can only be worth such a price, and it is because he has a certain appearance bonus, otherwise there are many stars in the Scottish Premier League who are not inferior to him in popularity.

After the FA Cup final, Nike also really expressed their interest in Jackie Lee, but their contract was not at all sincere.

When he opened his mouth, he wanted to sign for five or six years, and he only offered a price of about 250,000 pounds per year.

Li Chenglong felt that if this kind of contract was signed, it would become a slave contract for Nike to work for nothing in a year or two.
