Continuous battles with Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool.
Score seven points!
Such a record has directly made the entire English football media feel a little silent.
They really don't know what words to find to describe this Leicester City.
Big6 fans seem to have suddenly disappeared in the past few days, and they are no longer active online.
I probably have nothing to say...
After all, this kind of performance really puts all doubts away.
Many fans who were originally neutral or supported Leicester City began to slowly look forward to it.
They want to see what the faces of those who have questioned them will show when Leicester City actually completes this devilish schedule.
That night.
Arsenal training base, in the coach's office.
The old coach Wenger is sitting here, and sitting next to him is his most trusted assistant coach.
Wenger, who had just defeated Aston Villa 2-0 at home, was completely unhappy at this time and sat there with a frown on his face.
He has already anticipated that his career at Arsenal may not last too long.
He really wants to bring another Premier League trophy to this club where he has worked for many years before retiring!
This season, Arsenal's chances are not bad.
At the beginning of the league, several powerful teams stumbled.
Including today, the scores of the favorites are still far inferior to those at the same stage before.
Under such good circumstances, what is unexpected is that they are getting further and further away from the half-way championship.
"They tied one game and we were three points behind."
Wenger said to himself boredly, "In other words, as long as they score points at the end, they can lock in the half-time championship."
"Why is this happening?"
Faced with a competitor he had never imagined, Wenger was very puzzled and asked questions.
He thought of the Ranieri who smiled and told him during the previous confrontation that it would be great if he had a chance to compete with Arsenal for the championship.
At that time, Ranieri gave people the impression that he was really fighting for relegation, and the team he led was just a relegation team that had a good start.
But look at it now...
Leicester City have been firmly at the top of the table for some time.
"That, Chen Yufeng."
Wenger turned his head, seemingly curious, "How many goals have you scored?"
The assistant quickly called up the Premier League data website and continued: "Ten goals in the Premier League, and two goals in the cup."
"Twelve balls."
Wenger couldn't help but sigh, "It's really good. No wonder it attracts so much attention."
"Attention? Is anyone going to buy him?" The assistant coach frowned: "I feel like he won't leave Leicester City. Even if he plays well this season, it will be difficult to maintain his condition."
"There shouldn't be any team that gives him a very long-term contract and salary."
Wenger shook his head and replied: "It's not about the attention, it's just about the media and fans."
He did not continue the topic and just stared at the Leicester City game video for a while.
"If this team really beats us, beats other giant teams, and wins the Premier League championship..."
After a long time, Wenger couldn't help but say, "What will happen..."
"It shouldn't be possible."
The assistant coach fantasized about the riots that would be caused if Leicester City really won the championship. Then he shook his head slightly and said, "Such a story should never happen again in modern football."
Although he said this, his heart was shaken.
…………
The next morning, Chen Yufeng was informed by head coach Ranieri that there was a reporter from China waiting for him in the media room, who seemed to be preparing to conduct an exclusive interview with him.
At around nine o'clock, Chen Yufeng came to the media room of the base from his home. He soon saw a lot of photography equipment set up, as well as reporters sitting in their seats waiting for a long time.
"Hello, Sina Sports reporter Gao Yanan, thank you very much for taking the time to come."
Gao Yanan stretched out her hand towards Chen Yufeng and smiled.
"Hello."
Chen Yufeng felt nothing else and sat in the seat that seemed to be reserved for him.
"We understand that players may be busy during the schedule, so we won't talk nonsense and get started."
Gao Yanan waved to signal the video to start, then picked up a prepared material and a microphone.
"Well, first of all, I may have to ask a very down-to-earth question on behalf of many fans. How does it feel to score a goal on a stage like the Premier League?" Gao Yanan asked with a smile.
"Feel... break down the situation, the opponent you are facing, the importance of scoring a goal, etc."
Chen Yufeng thought for a while and answered seriously: "Of course, every goal makes me very excited. This is where my value is reflected."
"Twelve goals have been scored this season, and there are ten in the Premier League." Gao Yanan added: "What is the ultimate goal?"
"For now..." Chen Yufeng hesitated for a while and then said: "If I can score fifteen Premier League goals and fifteen assists in a single season, then I will be quite satisfied."
"This is the performance of top players..."
"Of course, since I have the opportunity to play on this stage, of course I have to strive to become a top player." Chen Yufeng smiled, never thinking that there would be anything wrong with saying this.
"Everyone is very concerned about your age and feels that it may be an obstacle to your progress." After Gao Yanan finished speaking, he quickly added: "I hope you don't find it a bit offensive to say this."
"Won't."
Chen Yufeng shook his head, "Age is indeed an enemy of athletes, especially in football."
"But I always feel that maybe many people care too much about my age."
"I am thirty years old now, not thirty-five."
"There are many stars who are still in excellent condition on the court in their early thirties. This has never been something I care about."
"They may feel that it is impossible for you to grow and improve again..." Gao Yanan added on the side.
"It stands to reason."
Chen Yufeng nodded and smiled, "But I don't agree. I don't think my upper limit is stuck."
"You mean your performance in the future will be better than now?" Gao Yanan was confused.
"Of course it is, I've said it numerous times on social media in the UK, this is just the beginning for me, just like it is for other young players."
Chen Yufeng nodded and said, facing this kind of interview, he never likes to hide something.
Gao Yanan, who was sitting opposite, nodded at this time, and then turned the page of the material.
She actually didn't quite believe what Chen Yufeng said.
Any exercise must follow rules, and nothing too outrageous may occur.
Even top players like Messi and Ronaldo will gradually decline as they get older.
No one is going to get better year after year, that’s unrealistic.
"Next, I would like to know how it is to stay in the Leicester City team. Do you get along well with your teammates?" Gao Yanan then turned the topic to the entire team.
"It's very good. Every player in the team is like a friend. There is nothing unpleasant."
Chen Yufeng smiled and said: "I have met a lot of interesting people, and I will be very happy to be with them."
"Including head coach Ranieri, he is a very good coach. He promised to treat us to pizza if we kept a clean sheet."
At this point, Chen Yufeng's smile grew stronger, "In the end, by then, we will be the ones making the pizza ourselves."
"Everyone had a great time that day and Mr. Ranieri was very insightful in promoting team cohesion."
Hearing this, Gao Yanan nodded repeatedly.
These contents are very much anticipated by the audience.
The daily life in a Premier League club... they have never heard of this before, so there is naturally a lot of novelty.
"We have all heard that you have a very good father." Gao Yanan smiled and asked, "Can you tell us about him?"
"I do not know how to say it."
Chen Yufeng raised his eyebrows, looked away and said, "He has helped me a lot mentally."
"Sometimes people have a strong desire for something, not only because of themselves, but also because of those who love them."
"I think he made me want to be a top football player as early as possible."
Gao Yanan listened carefully, and smiled movedly at the end, "You are now."
"Not yet."
"In your opinion, what kind of player is a top football player?" Gao Yanan asked.
Chen Yufeng thought for a while and then said what he wanted to say, "Countless championships, countless golden boots, assists king, and best player."
"Save the team from fire and water in adversity, and become the focus of the audience in good times."
"He is the city star most respected by everyone in the city."
"There are many people who like him, and there will be a lot of doubts, but in the end he will be remembered and missed by everyone after he retires."
"That's what I understand."
After hearing this, Gao Yanan couldn't help but clenched her right hand into a fist, "Come on."
Although she still doesn't believe that Chen Yufeng, who is already thirty, will reach this point in the future.
But no one who can say these words is unworthy of admiration.
At this moment, even Gao Yanan, who didn't know or admire Chen Yufeng very well before, couldn't help but think that it would be better if he were a few years younger...
"Yeah, I will."
Chen Yufeng smiled and nodded, this will always be his goal.
In the following time, the two of them chatted for a while about the life of the team.
After all the tasks were completed, Gao Yanan stood up and extended her hand to Chen Yufeng, "Finally, the boss asked me to thank you."
"It can be said that without you, Sina Sports' investment in the Premier League copyright would definitely suffer a big loss."
"It's different now. The number of monthly members has exceeded 9 million and is heading towards the 10 million mark."
"Hahaha, I hope the media can say more good things about me." Chen Yufeng shook his head and sighed.
Of course he knew that he was getting a lot of attention there, but he still didn't imagine that the number would be so huge.
This actually gave him more motivation.
There won’t be anyone who doesn’t want this kind of motivation…
Without fans, the sport of football would be nothing.
"Of course, bye."
Gao Yanan smiled, then said goodbye to Chen Yufeng and walked out of Leicester City's training base.
Chen Yufeng changed his shoes and started training directly at the training base.
For him, this kind of exclusive interview is just a small change in his life.
Just like the occasional little fun in a married life.
It's good to have him, I know what I should do without him.
Train well and always be excited about improving…
