Chapter 10: King of Madrid

In the summer of 2007, the football world was supposed to be very calm because there were no major competition events, but because of a person, this summer has become not only no longer ordinary, but also very special, so special that it can definitely be recorded in history!

This summer, the most valuable player in history will transfer to a team as a free agent and cannot be called a giant team. Such a thing seems impossible and is a joke if it sounds like it is impossible. But in fact, this is absolutely true!

That's not only that this player is not only the most valuable in history, but also is known as the number one football player in ancient and modern times, and a well-deserved god-like player on the court! Such a special individual did a very special thing, which surprised the entire world football world.

Of course, this person is Li Yun. After leading Inter Milan to successfully win four consecutive championships in the historic Champions League, Li Yun ended his four seasons of his career at Inter Milan, and then he will embark on a new journey to join his own team, Atletico Madrid.

"Thank you for your support for me over the past four years. I will remember this relationship for life! No matter where I go, I will never forget you. You are the cutest people in the world!"

"Inter Milan is the greatest club in the world, with the most outstanding players in the world. It is obvious that staying here is the easiest to achieve results and win the championship. Many people may not understand why I have reached a peak in my life. Isn't it a wonderful thing to choose to leave at such a brilliant moment and stay in such an invincible team?"

"Maybe, some people's pursuit is like this, it is undeniable that this is very tempting, but for me, this is not what I really want, I need to have other pursuits! Perhaps, too strong strength and too easy victory are the biggest reason for me to choose to leave. No matter what, I hope everyone can understand and support me, and I also hope that no matter where I am, I will be your eternal Stephen!"

"Goodbye, everyone, this is the last time I have spoken to you like this as a captain. Next time I meet, we will be enemies. Moreover, I will use my strongest strength to defeat you, and I will not leave any kindness! I hope you can do the same!"

"Goodbye, everyone! Goodbye, Inter Milan! Goodbye, Italy!"

......

This is what Li Yun said to the fans and the players of Inter Milan when he was doing the championship parade. Although his years in Inter Milan have ended, he attaches great importance to the relationship between Inter Milan fans and players. Even if he leaves, everyone is a friend. Even if he is not a player from Inter Milan, he still loves these fans. Of course, these fans also love him, respect him, and still regard him as a god.

"Goodbye! Eternal farewell!"

"Milan Sports" used such a title to describe Li Yun's departure sadly. In their opinion, Li Yun's departure will be a complete farewell to Inter Milan. It is impossible for him to return to Inter Milan, and it is impossible for him to return to Italy. Therefore, this time, it is definitely a farewell forever.

Of course, the meaning of eternal separation here just means that Li Yun will never play football on behalf of any Italian team. It does not mean that Li Yun will not come to Italy again. However, when Li Yun comes to Italy the next time, he must have brought his other super strong team to destroy a powerful team in Italy.

With Li Yun's departure, the "Milan Sports Daily" also believes that it will be difficult for Inter Milan to reproduce the heroic posture of the great international era from now on. It is impossible to build the core and main character of this dynasty. Moreover, with Li Yun's departure, Inter Milan will definitely have many players following Li Yun, because Li Yun's influence is really too strong!

Facts have proved that the assertion of "Milan Sports" is not unfounded. Shortly after Li Yun left, Inter Milan's main midfielder Essin made it clear that he would definitely not stay in Inter Milan next season. He would go wherever Li Yun went, as long as the opponent's club was willing to accept him.

Essin is Li Yun's best friend and the person who is most loyal to Li Yun. He definitely wants to follow Li Yun, but now, even Essin doesn't know where Li Yun is going, but no matter where Li Yun goes, he will follow him.

Essin and Inter Milan have only one year left in the contract. If Inter Milan cannot sell the African buffalo that has been decided during this transfer period, Essin will leave as a free agent like Li Yun, making Inter Milan unable to make a penny and suffer another big loss.

Therefore, no matter who buys Essin this time, he will take a big advantage. The price will definitely not be too high, and he can easily get the best midfielder in the world today.

In addition to Essin, there were also Kili and others who clearly stated that they would leave Inter Milan, but these people were far less important than Essin, so they were ignored.

As for where Li Yun is going, it has become a question now. The obvious thing is that before the transfer curtain opens on July 1, most people may not know this answer.

Since the people who say "most" are of course, there are still a small number of people who know where Li Yun is going. These small number of people are naturally the ones who are closest to Li Yun, and apart from those people, they are very special.

Essin was naturally one of this special group. After he expressed his intention to follow Li Yun, Li Yun was also very moved. If he didn't tell the truth about such a comrade who was swearing to follow him to the death, he would be a little unfavorable.

"What? That's great! So that's it!"

As soon as he heard his agent Angel telling himself that the club Li Yun was going to was Atletico Madrid, and that the club was actually the Li family's own club, Essin immediately became excited.

"Atlan Madrid will bid for Inter Milan soon, and it is estimated that there will be results soon. Then you will be officially a member of Atletico Madrid."

Angel did not hide everything from Essin because it was what Li Yun told him that there was no need to hide anything from Essin, his loyal companion.

Similarly, another person who didn't go anywhere except Li Yun's team was treated like Li Yun.

"Damn, Stephen, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

When he got the news from Li Yun, Zachelloni was so happy that he was so angry that he scolded Li Yun for not telling him earlier, which made him feel infinite sad because he thought he would not be able to coach Li Yun in the future. But now, he doesn't have to worry about this. Li Yun has already arranged it for him and he can take office immediately and become the new head coach of Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid's current head coach is Jose Murcia, but this head coach is just a transitional figure and not an important role. He will be officially dismissed as soon as the new head coach arrives.

However, Aguirre, who was supposed to be the head coach of Atletico Madrid in history, did not become Atletico Madrid's head coach because Li Yun did not like such a coach. In Li Yun's opinion, the coach who truly suited him was not the kind of person who was particularly strong, who liked to let himself be above the players, but who could fully utilize his abilities and be willing to be the hero behind the scenes.

Li Yun has also experienced such a head coach, and there are two others, one is the retired old man Juyi. Li Yun’s mentor-level figure will always be respected by Li Yun. The other is Zacheroni.

Zacheroni's greatest success in Inter Milan is to fully tap Li Yun's ability. The tactics and personnel he used are all around Li Yun, which is most suitable for Li Yun's performance, so he is also the most suitable head coach for Li Yun.

That's right, it is the head coach that is most suitable for Li Yun, not the head coach of which team is most suitable. No matter which team, as long as the team has Li Yun, the first thing to consider is not this team, but Li Yun!

A person overrides the entire team, this is the most special thing about Li Yun! His existence makes the team subordinate. The way to truly make the team stronger is to focus on him and everything serves Li Yun. Only in this way can the team release its most powerful combat power and make the team's performance the best.

Zacheroni is such a person who can make Li Yun’s team perform like this. He has long realized this and knows that coaching Li Yun is actually very simple. He just needs to play around this person, trust this person completely, and give this person unlimited power. The rest is waiting for Li Yun to win you one by one.

A strong head coach is not suitable for Li Yun, as it will only make the team worse, because Li Yun is an extremely special individual.

Just like Inter Milan's previous head coach Cooper, his failure was largely because he wanted to overtake Li Yun, rather than letting Li Yun's role overpower him. Such a stupid choice eventually ruined himself.

Therefore, what Li Yun needs is the head coach who can play his best abilities, and there is the best choice right in front of him. Of course, he will not choose others. For him, Zacheroni is the most suitable, and of course he has to use Zacheroni.

After Li Yun left Inter Milan, Zachelloni also left Inter Milan. Like Li Yun, his contract expired after this season. The smart Zachelloni has always been paying attention to Li Yun's contract. His contract and the duration of Li Yun's contract have always been consistent, which allows him to successfully leave the coach of Inter Milan and then easily become the head coach of Atletico Madrid.

Li Yun was able to take away his most loyal teammates and the head coach who was most suitable for him from Inter Milan. He was finally able to take the Calderon Stadium strongly.

On July 1, 2007, a news that shocked the world football world came from Madrid, Spain - Stephen Lee, King of Madrid!

When I heard this news, many people even thought that Li Yun was joining Real Madrid, and even some excited Inter Milan fans were cursing it - didn't they agree not to join the giants? Why did they change their minds in the end?

After they carefully read all the news, they found that Li Yun joined was not the most famous Real Madrid, but another team in Madrid - Atletico Madrid!

Although Atletico Madrid has always been a veteran La Liga powerhouse, and has a brilliant history and has avoided the La Liga championship several times, they are really far behind their "big brother" Real Madrid.

Therefore, their status in Madrid is far inferior to Real Madrid, so when everyone saw Li Yun airborne Madrid, they thought he was joining Real Madrid, not Atletico Madrid.

At this moment, almost all the fans around the world were wailing, except for Atletico Madrid fans.

"Hahahaha, I'm not dreaming, is Stephen actually joining our team?!"

"Oh my God, this is really the biggest good news in my life! Can anyone tell me that this is really a fact, not an April Fool's Day joke!"

"The era of our Atletico Madrid has arrived! From today on, no one can stop us from moving forward!"

The entire Madrid city fell into a state of madness. Atletico Madrid fans were all excited. Some fans with bad hearts even became sick and were sent to the hospital, so they were not seriously injured.

There is no way, this is really good news. They have never expected their team to get Li Yun before, and are all guessing where Li Yun will go. Like the fans of all other teams, they are also very confused about where Li Yun is going.

"Where do you think Stephen will go? He said that he would not join other teams in Serie A, nor would he join the giant team. So which team can afford him?"

"Can it be Manchester City? It's very likely that their boss is rich and he can only bear the superhuman treatment of Stephen. If that's true, Manchester City will dominate the entire Europe!"

"Hope not, Manchester City is not what I like. If I really want to choose, I would rather let Stephen go to a team like Tottenham or Valencia, at least not a nouveau riche like Manchester City!"

"Oh, do you think Stephen will come to us? Didn't our boss change too? Although I don't know what kind of person this new boss is, I guess he will be very rich, right?"

"Forget it, just our boss is still rich. After coming, he didn't buy anyone at all. Instead, he sold a few people. If this continues, we may become less and less effective!"

"Oh... it's all none of our team's business, and I don't know when our Atletico Madrid will overturn the mountain above our heads!"

These Atletico Madrid fans really can't imagine that their team will welcome a football king like Li Yun and a football god like this. They don't know how much energy their new boss has, nor how bright their future will be!

Indeed, when the Li family just bought Atletico Madrid club, since Li Yun could not come immediately, the team's attractiveness was not particularly enough. In addition, Li Yun signaled that he would not need to spend a lot of money to introduce any big-name players, and then make a decision after he arrived. Atletico Madrid had almost no personnel to buy last season. Instead, he dealt with some veterans and thorns in the team, and boldly activated many new players to prepare for Li Yun's arrival.

This result made Atletico Madrid not very good. In the end, not only did they not get the qualification to enter the Champions League, but they also missed the League Cup, which can be said to have nothing to gain.

Originally, Atletico Madrid fans who had a new boss thought that Atletico Madrid would have a big change this time, and there would be many strong players joining, which would overturn Real Madrid, a mountain that was pressing on them. However, the cruel facts disappointed them very much. They unanimously thought that their new boss was just a miser and would never let Atletico Madrid have any good life.

When the news came out a few days ago that their current captain, Golden Boy Torres, was also because of the team's poor record, had no ambitions. When he wanted to leave Atletico Madrid and join other giant teams, Atletico Madrid fans felt deeply desperate. They felt that the team was going to be finished now, and even the core was gone, and what else could make the team move towards the future?

But everything was so sudden, and happiness suddenly came to Atletico Madrid fans. After repeatedly confirming that he was not dreaming and today was not April Fool's Day, Atletico Madrid fans shouted wildly.

"Long live! Long live Atletico Madrid! Long live Stephen! Long live the new boss!"

At this moment, in the minds of Atletico Madrid fans, their new boss is finally no longer a so-called miser, but a real person who does his career, and is definitely worthy of their support.

Soon, Li Yun and Atletico Madrid held a press conference, allowing the three people who came from Inter Milan to meet the fans.

This made the fans even more excited - look, look, how amazing we are. Not only did we poach the World Football King, but we also brought other people's coaches and teammates. It's really satisfying!

"I'm very happy to come to Madrid, which is one of my favorite cities. It's really a pleasure to be here to play football."

......

Li Yun used such polite words to give a series of "speechs", but even these words are old-fashioned, the fans listened with relish.

"Finally, I want to reiterate that when I came here, I want to lead Atletico Madrid to all the championships! When I came here, I want to build another glorious era! I will make all those who support Atletico Madrid feel satisfied. Please wait and see!"
