Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 49 Active Integration
After finalizing the matter of joining, Wen Zhihao didn't stay at home any longer, and followed his agent Saki to fly to Leicester, the capital of Leicestershire in the East Midlands of England, to participate in the medical examination before officially joining, and to participate in the formal signing ceremony and press conference.

Originally, Father Wen planned to go with him this time. After all, his son was going thousands of miles away with an unfamiliar person, and he was somewhat worried, but Bai Xinyue volunteered to take on this task.As a fan, she is also eager to get close contact with Premier League clubs.

Fortunately, everything is going well.Wen Zhihao passed the medical examination without any accidents, and signed a contract with Vichai, the Thai owner of Leicester City Club.That night, Leicester City announced and signed the AFC top scorer Wen Zhihao on the official website.The two parties signed a five-year contract, and Wen Zhihao's total salary is as high as 5 million pounds.Of course, more than half of these salaries came from Wen Zhihao's first-team professional contract after he became an adult.In the first three years, Wen Zhihao could only get a salary of 600 pounds per month as a reserve team player.

Leicester City’s official announcement time is [-]:[-] p.m. local time. In China with a seven-hour time difference, many fans have just taken a nap and are about to start work in the afternoon. The overwhelming official announcement news on major websites instantly woke up many fans who were still drowsy.

Those Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A fans also expressed that they have become fans of the Premier League and are looking forward to Wen Zhihao's performance.

Various media are even more contentious, with different views on Wen Zhihao's joining the Premier League.For example, CCTV, which has always been optimistic about Wen Zhihao, believes that Wen Zhihao can get considerable playing time in Leicester City, and based on the performance of Leicester City this season, Wen Zhihao may become the first Chinese player to win the Premier League championship.

At the same time, the opposition represented by *lang.com sharply pointed out that Wen Zhihao has not yet applied for a labor certificate, and Wen Zhihao's physical condition is simply not suitable for the high-intensity physical confrontation of the Premier League.I think Wen Zhihao will either sit on the bench and leave in dismay.Or face the fate of being rented out.

Wen Zhihao showed his new club's No. 30 jersey at the subsequent press conference, and accepted an interview with the live media in English, showing his attitude of actively integrating into the team.Chinese media are more optimistic about Wen Zhihao's prospects at Leicester City.

The next day, Carlson arranged for Wen Zhihao to meet with head coach Ranieri.Wen Zhihao found that Ranieri's attitude towards him was not very good, he just briefly introduced the situation of the team and the rules of the team, and did not want to know him at all.

Wen Zhihao felt a little unhappy.I have just arrived on the first day, and it seems that I have no grievances with you, so you put on such a condescending look to me, what are you trying to do?

Ranieri went to Carlson in private and complained: "William, what do you mean? Why do you put a Chinese in the team at this time! Don't you know that we are in a tense championship stage? I hope everyone here can contribute to the team, not just one more bench player, OK?"

Carlson looked at Ranieri with a strange expression.It seemed unbelievable for him to say such a thing.

"Claudio, you are the head coach of the team. How to employ people is up to you. Please don't bring this kind of thing to me. Also, I can tell you that the Chinese has a lot of energy. Claudio, go slowly to discover. The treasure is unknown until it is discovered."

Ranieri did not expect to be blocked by Carlson. He grabbed his white hair and asked the sky over and over again.

Oh, no, it is speechless to ask God.

After Wen Zhihao won the AFC Champions League on behalf of Evergrande, Ranieri did express his interest to the club.But Wen Zhihao has never been Ranieri's primary signing target. One is that he is too young, and it is too risky to use him, and Wen Zhihao is good at full-back and winger positions.Furthermore, the team is currently in a critical stage of the championship and needs to maintain the stability of the core lineup, which should not be easily rotated.

Originally, Leicester City considered that Wen Zhihao had just experienced a long season and proposed to give him a short vacation very humanely, but Wen Zhihao refused. Not only that, he also came to the training ground to train the next day after signing the contract.

The players of Leicester City came to the base as usual, and suddenly found that there was an extra person on the training ground. The unrestrained Vardy pretended to be exaggeratedly surprised: "Look! Who is that person?"

Everyone was surprised, and the black midfielder Kanter yelled as if he had discovered a new world: "Hey! He's still an Asian. Okazaki, is it your compatriots?"

The Japanese forward Shinji Okazaki who was next to him shook his head vigorously, and replied with certainty: "Absolutely not! If it is our Japanese player, I will definitely get the news. I am quite well informed about domestic news."

Austrian international Christian Fuchs behind him gave free science to these stunned teammates: "Hey, don't guess! Didn't you read the news? Last night, the club just announced the signing of a player from China. Maybe it's him."

Now everyone's expressions are quite wonderful.It was Vardy who said first: "Huh? Chinese? Interesting! I like to focus on interesting things." After speaking, he walked quickly to the training ground.

Wen Zhihao saw a group of people entering the training ground from a distance, and knew that they must be new teammates. He immediately walked over and introduced himself very generously: "Hi, my name is Wen Zhihao. I come from China. I just came to the club yesterday. We will be teammates from now on. It's a pleasure to meet you all."

This aspect reflects Wen Zhihao's advantage, because he has the experience of studying abroad in Europe, Wen Zhihao knows how to integrate into the atmosphere of European teams as soon as possible.It will not be like some domestic players who are not acclimatized because of their personalities.

Wen Zhihao is gratified that the attitude of his teammates is generally very good. For example, Vardy and winger Albrighton specifically confessed to ask them for help, so don't be polite.

Head coach Ranieri came to the venue a little later than the players, and he saw a scene that surprised him: Wen Zhihao and the old players were chatting like friends.It doesn't look like the one I just met.

Ranieri nodded subconsciously. It seems that this Chinese kid can fit into the team very well.I have a good impression of Wen Zhihao in my heart.

At the same time, Ranieri had a big question mark in his heart: this Chinese who is too young is so admired by Carlson, who has always been aloof, how strong is his ability?
PS: Do you think Wen Zhihao will be able to play in the Premier League soon?Hey~
