Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 159 New Teammates

"Yan Feng, do you know that our team has a new foreign aid?" Lu Lin, who came to the stadium early this morning at the training base in the university town, asked Yan Feng somewhat mysteriously.

"Ah? New foreign aid? Who? Which star?" Yan Feng asked in surprise.Yan Feng has been immersed in strengthening his passing training recently, and has not paid much attention to the transfer.However, he is still looking forward to the team's new foreign aid.If there is a teammate with tens of millions of euros, the competitiveness of R&F today will be greatly improved.

"Elan Zahavi is said to be Israel's number one international player." Lu Lin said what she knew.

"Elan Zahavi? An Israeli international? I haven't heard of it." Yan Feng was a little disappointed.He has never heard of it. First, he pays little attention to European football. Second, he only knows about stars like Messi and Ronaldo.If it is a country like Spain and England, he can still know some stars.Israel?I heard that fighting is very powerful, but I haven't heard much about playing football.

"Don't underestimate him. I heard that he has scored more than 30 goals in almost three consecutive seasons. Last season, it is said that he scored 55 goals in 48 games." Lu Lin said.

"I'll go, 48? This cow?" This Yan Feng thought it was quite powerful.When Elkeson was at his most powerful in Guangzhou Evergrande, the Chinese Super League, the FA Cup and the AFC Champions League did not add up to so many goals.

"Now our team finally has someone who can make the final decision." Lu Lin said happily.The foreign aid came as a forward, and there is no conflict with his position. He is also happy to see the results that can enhance the strength of the team.

"Looking at the situation, he is indeed a good striker. But, I don't know what the level of the Israeli league is?" Yan Feng hadn't heard much about the Israeli league.If the level is similar to that of the Vietnam League, no matter how many goals are scored, there will be a lot of moisture.

"I don't know the level of the Israeli league. However, it is said that he played for the Palermo team in Serie A. It is said that he joined R&F this time with a transfer fee of 800 million U.S. dollars and an annual salary of nearly 400 million U.S. dollars." Lu Lin thought Say it down.

"A transfer fee of 800 million US dollars? This is not a low price." Yan Feng nodded.Although it is incomparable with the signings of other teams in the Chinese Super League this year, it can be regarded as a mid-level player.

"This price is not bad. You must know that Shanghai SIPG bought the Chinese Super League champion this time. Hulk, the current Brazilian international known as the "green giant", is even worth as high as 5500 million euros. Note, it is Europe, I am Beautiful knife. Our club is still too poor." Lu Lin sighed.

"Uh~ Let's forget about this. The combined value of our whole team is not so much. It doesn't matter if it doesn't compare." Yan Feng shook his head.After coming to R&F for so long, Yan Feng can be regarded as aware of the stinginess of the boss of R&F.The Guangzhou fans outside have been calling the boss of R&F as pickle power.

The boss of R&F is indeed a bit picky, and there is no comparison with the boss of Evergrande.The wages of the players in the team cannot be compared with those of Evergrande's domestic players.Especially Yan Feng himself, whose annual salary is less than 100 million, and it is still Renminbi.If it weren't for Yan Feng's recent bonuses, he would be a little embarrassed to tell others that he is playing in the Super League.

Yan Feng became depressed when he thought of salary.I worked so hard that I couldn't even get 100 million a year.When foreign aid comes, it costs US$400 a year.

"Why?" Yan Feng whispered a little dissatisfied.

Not interested in continuing to talk about new foreign aid, Yan Feng went to practice his passing after talking with Lu Lin.

After the team training time, the head coach Stojkovic first called everyone to the front.And standing next to him was a handsome foreign player wearing the No. 25 R&F jersey, which attracted everyone's attention.

"This is Elan Zahavi, our new teammate, welcome!" Stojkovic introduced with a smile.

"Hi everyone, my name is Elan Zahavi, from Israel. I am very glad to be your companion." Zahavi took a step forward and said with a confident smile.

"This is the team's new Israeli international? He is very handsome, but his physical condition is average." Yan Feng looked Zahavi up and down.In his impression, he felt that the striker would eventually have a great body like Elkeson the Bear.Not only has body, speed, and skills, but also can charge for the team and bring goals to the team by relying on his own ability.Such teammates are the most trustworthy.

Zahavi's body is relatively slender, not very strong, and he looks like a Kunshi.A body like this is still a bit unattractive in the eyes of Yan Feng, who is not inferior to the black and hard body.

After that, everyone introduced each other to Zahavi, and domestic players like Lu Lin shook hands with Zahavi happily.On the contrary, Yan Feng was a little less enthusiastic.

"Hello, my name is Yan Feng, kicking the back." Yan Feng said indifferently.

Yan Feng had a somewhat different expression from the others, which surprised Zahavi.But Zahavi still smiled and shook hands with Yan Feng. "Nice to meet you, Yan Feng."

"Me too." Yan Feng nodded as if he knew him.

After getting to know each other one by one, Stojkovic asked everyone to warm up their lower bodies first.

"Hey, Xiao Fengzi, you don't seem to be very interested in the new Zahavi?" Lu Lin asked Yan Feng in a low voice while warming up.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just think he is a little different from the foreign aid I imagined." Yan Feng didn't expect his disapproval to be seen by others.Am I being so obvious?
"Hehe, Xiao Fengzi, are you not convinced that you belong to me?" Lu Lin said with a smile.

"Hey, Brother Lin, did you see it?" Yan Feng smiled and patted his chest muscles.He was indeed a little unconvinced.Why does this seemingly average foreigner besides being handsome get so much money, but I can't even get 100 million?Why can he get a salary that is more than 20 times higher than his own?

"Hehe, Xiao Fengzi. I know you are in good health, but don't underestimate him. He can score so many goals because he has two skills." Lu Lin said.

"You'll know if it's a mule or a horse." Yan Feng said unconvinced.

Yan Feng was very dissatisfied with Zahavi.He wants to see how much this foreigner can get the highest salary in the team?

In the next shooting training, Zahavi's performance was eye-catching.After seeing the quality of Zahavi's shooting, Yan Feng also had to admit that this foreigner's shooting skills are good.

Whether it is stopping the ball, taking the ball, or dribbling and shooting, Zahavi has shown a superb level.Zahavi's movements are smooth and chic, and he always does it in one go, and his shooting accuracy is very high.During shooting training, the main goalkeeper Cheng Yuelei can rarely prevent Zahavi's shots.In the end, Cheng Yuelei couldn't help giving a thumbs up to this new teammate.

"How is it? The level of shooting is very good, isn't it?" Lu Lin has also been impressed by Zahavi's physical skills.He asked Yan Feng with a smile.

"Physical skills are very good. However, the level in training is not considered real strength. The key is to know if you can do it on the field." Yan Feng also admitted that the new foreigner's skills are very good.As long as he compares the domestic forward Xiao Zhi's stop shot, he can't deny it.

In training, Yan Feng could no longer dissatisfy Zahavi's shooting level.But he hasn't completely convinced the other party yet.

In the subsequent team confrontation, Yan Feng tried his best to compete with Zahavi.Unfortunately, due to positional reasons, even if Zahavi is still on the side for the time being, there is not much chance for the two of them to face each other.

However, as long as you have the heart, you can always find opportunities.After some waiting, Yan Feng finally found a chance to compete directly with Zahavi in ​​a team match.

That time, it was Yan Feng's timely replacement that blocked Zahavi.Yan Feng understood what his own strengths were, and he also knew the opponent's weaknesses, so he made up his mind at the beginning to use his body to bully the opponent.

And Zahavi showed superb skills when facing Yan Feng.He takes the ball and turns in one go, and he's quick.This defeats the original plan to force the opponent from behind to turn around or even directly push the opponent down.

Seeing that Zahavi was able to turn around and face himself with ease, Yan Feng was also surprised.However, one-on-one, Yan Feng is still very confident in himself.

Before Yan Feng could think too much, Zahavi took action.He first flicked the ball with his right foot, and then quickly changed direction to the left.Zahavi's left and right buttons on one foot forced Yan Feng to keep changing his center of gravity.

Zahavi saw the right moment and passed Yan Feng's weak side.

"Don't try to succeed!" When Yan Feng shifted his center of gravity, he forced his center of gravity back and followed in time.

"Hmm!" Zahavi was also surprised in his heart.He fully thought that after he cheated Yan Feng's center of gravity, he should be able to easily get rid of the latter's defense.Unexpectedly, Yan Feng's speed and reaction were unexpectedly fast.

"Hmph, give me a ram!" After Yan Feng followed Zahavi with speed, he wanted to ram his opponent away with his body.

Yan Feng, who just sank his shoulders, suddenly stopped his figure, which made Yan Feng, who was holding back his energy, almost lose his balance and fell down.Fortunately, Yan Feng finally adjusted his body balance.

But Zahavi took advantage of this opportunity, and after pulling his left foot, he immediately shot with his right foot.In the eyes of other people, Zahavi's series of movements are so pleasing to the eye, so smooth and smooth, without any superfluous movements.

As soon as Yan Feng adjusted his figure, he saw Zahavi take a shot.Yan Feng yelled and tried his best to block the shooting route.Although Yan Feng had tried his best, he was still a step behind.The ball was not blocked by Yan Feng, and flew straight to the far corner of the goal.In the end, under Cheng Yuelei's full lunge, he still entered.

"The ball went in? And it's still so tricky!" Yan Feng looked at Zahavi with complicated eyes.Yan Feng has worked very hard for this ball.He tried his best to defend, but he didn't expect to be scored by Zahavi in ​​the end.

"Beautiful! It's a beautiful goal!"

The teammates on the other side all smiled and came over to give Zahavi a high-five to congratulate.

"So strong!"

"Zahavi's strength is really strong."

"It's not easy to score such a beautiful goal under Xiaofengzi's defense!"

Even the players on the main side were surprised by Zahavi's strength.However, they soon felt happy from the bottom of their hearts.Although they are opponents now, this is an intra-team match.When the official game comes, with such a forward teammate, the team's offensive power can definitely be improved to a higher level.

"Well. Not bad! I can perform like this when I first joined the team. Maybe Zahavi not only has a high level, but also has a good adaptability and state." Stojkovic is also very happy with Zahavi's goal .

"Zahavi's state and level are very good. I believe he will be able to play for the team soon. By then, I believe the team's offense will be much better." Assistant coach Durovich said excitedly.He could see that Yan Feng was defending on the ground, and he scored a goal under his full defense, which is enough to show that Zahavi is very strong.

"Hehe. I am very satisfied with Zahavi!" Stojkovic also smiled knowingly.At the beginning of the season, he has been worrying about the team's defense.Later, there was no need to worry about defense, and I began to be dissatisfied with the team's scoring ability.Now that the team has bought a forward who seems to have a very good finishing ability, he has more confidence in the team's next game.

On the court, after a brief celebration with his teammates, Zahavi turned around and looked at Yan Feng, then smiled and gave a thumbs up and said: "Yan Feng, you are very good. Your defensive ability is very strong."

Although Yan Feng couldn't understand what Zahavi was saying, he saw the other party giving him a thumbs up, and his face was full of kind smiles.Yan Feng suddenly felt that Zahavi was also a good person.Yan Feng also smiled back and nodded.

After all, this is an intra-team competition, not a life-and-death contest.Therefore, even though he was scored by the opponent from in front of him.But it can make him fail in defense, which makes Yan Feng somewhat recognize Zahavi's ability.

"How is it? Little Fengzi." Lu Lin asked Yan Feng with a smile when she was about to kick off again.

"Well, some strength." Yan Feng nodded and said.

"Hehe, the person who can make Xiao Fengzi suffer, I'm looking forward to his performance in the official competition now."

Although Zahavi won Yan Feng in this contest, Yan Feng was not completely convinced.Later, in a rare fight, Yan Feng successfully grabbed the ball after holding Zahavi with his body.This not only made Yan Feng happy, but also made Zahavi very surprised that Yan Feng had such a physical quality.

After this time, Yan Feng had no chance to face Zahavi again.And Zahavi scored another goal in this game.For this goal, Zahavi first stopped the high-altitude ball with his left foot, then turned around and shot with his right body.Another goal straight into the far corner.

Zahavi's performance in this training has conquered everyone in R&F.Even Yan Feng has to admit that Zahavi's level is worthy of the $800 million worth.Yan Feng, who was a little complicated in his heart, began to look forward to the official competition. "If the official game can also have such a performance, maybe the FA Cup championship is really possible."

After the training was over, Yan Feng remembered that he hadn't seen Bruninho that day.It seems that the person who left this time was Bruninho.

Although Yan Feng has a normal relationship with Bruninho, they are teammates who have been together for a while.Yan Feng was also a little sad about his departure.But this is a professional league, and it is the most normal thing for anyone to come and go.Maybe, one day he himself will go to play in another strange place.
