Chapter 250: Clean up your mood and start the journey again
Wang Feng appears in the training ground of Pinetina! Journalists squatting at the Inter Milan training base discovered this major news and immediately took out their phones to contact their newspapers, hoping to publish this important report as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" officially announced the failure of Wang Feng's transfer. President Laporta, in an interview with reporters, stated, "Inter Milan seems unwilling to sell Wang Feng. I am very regretful, but our team is already very strong. Ronaldinho's abilities are not inferior to Wang Feng's."
"We have just won the La Liga championship, and our goal for the new season is to win the Champions League. I believe this will mark the beginning of a new era for Barcelona!"
England's "Sky Sports" also reported the failure of Manchester United's transfer, with Ferguson expressing his frustration at missing the opportunity to manage this legendary player once again.
"Inter Milan's stance is somewhat unreasonable; transfer negotiations cannot proceed smoothly. However, we have the new generation of Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, and I believe they will grow."
Barcelona's archrivals Real Madrid, on the other hand, remained much quieter. "Marca" also reported the failure of the Galacticos' acquisition, but Real Madrid did not comment much on it. Instead, they began adjusting their squad internally.
Zidane will retire after the World Cup next year, while Figo will head to AC Milan. Real Madrid will not demand a transfer fee from AC Milan nor will they have to pay Figo's final year's salary; AC Milan will cover it.
Real Madrid is interested in selling Beckham next summer. Beckham himself leans towards developing his career in Major League Soccer in the United States. Ronaldo and Wang Feng have a close relationship, so I believe they should have no problem cooperating.
Of course, they also reinforced their squad. They spent 27 million euros to acquire the 19-year-old genius defender Ramos from Sevilla. However, there's no news regarding the rumored signings of Robinho and Baptista.
Robinho ultimately joined Sevilla, while Baptista joined Arsenal. This matter caused a minor earthquake within the upper echelons of Real Madrid. Calderon seized the opportunity to join some people in criticizing Florentino's unfavorable signings, further reducing his support.
Wang Feng stays! The Inter Milan fans are the happiest upon hearing this news. They celebrated this joyful moment with friends, and it's evident to the discerning eye that Wang Feng is an indispensable factor in Inter Milan's current success.
However, some observant media noticed that Wang Feng has not renewed his contract with Inter Milan, even though he still has about three years left on his contract. Typically, a superstar of his caliber would renew his contract, so they speculate that Wang Feng's stay may be temporary.
As for why he stays, gossip media have offered their own speculations, but neither Wang Feng nor the Inter Milan club have responded to any of these controversies.
They are busy adapting to the new lineup. Inter Milan has made some gains in the transfer market. Currently, their main lineup consists of:
Goalkeeper Toldo, defenders Cordoba, Zanetti, Civu, Materazzi.
Midfielders Santi, Mancini, Pirlo, Ribery. After a summer of rest, Santi has recovered from his injury.
Forwards Adriano and Wang Feng.
Since they don't have to participate in the UEFA Super Cup and the Italian Super Cup, Inter Milan's first official match is on August 28th, the Serie A opener against newly promoted team Treviso. During this long break, the club arranged several friendly matches. Their opponents were Serie B's Crotone Arezzo, as well as Serie A's Lazio and Ascoli.
Wang Feng appeared in two of these matches, contributing 6 goals. His body is gradually reaching its peak, and his form is adjusting very well. With new goals in mind, he has settled his mood and is ready to embark on the journey again.
Before the start of the season, UEFA's annual Champions League draw ceremony took place in Monaco as scheduled. Wang Feng found an excuse not to attend because he knew he might not be eligible for the major award.
As Wang Feng expected, he was selected for the season's best lineup, but Shevchenko successfully won the UEFA Club Footballer of the Year. After leaving AC Milan, he finally won the UEFA Champions League trophy and even has a chance to look forward to the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year at the end of this year.
Inter Milan paid close attention to the Champions League group stage draw. Manager Mancini was informed; he knew Wang Feng would leave after the season ended, and Moratti gave him a mandate: to do everything possible to win the Champions League, sacrificing all other achievements.
When the final results came out, the Italians let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that God was favoring Inter Milan!
They were grouped with Artmedia of the Slovak Super Liga, Rangers of the Scottish Premiership, and Porto of the Portuguese Primeira Liga, not encountering any clubs from the top five leagues!
AC Milan's luck with the draw was also good; they were grouped with PSV Eindhoven, Schalke 04, and Fenerbahce of the Turkish Süper Lig. Juventus encountered Bayern Munich, Club Brugge, and Rapid Vienna.
Udinese found themselves sandwiched between Barcelona and Werder Bremen, with Panathinaikos from the Greek Super League also eyeing them, making their qualification quite difficult.
Before the start of the league, Wang Feng took a trip to Belgium to relax and visited the domestic children sent to Genk. From the club manager to the substitute players, everyone welcomed his arrival warmly.
14-year-old De Bruyne was particularly happy. He had been a loyal fan of Wang Feng since he played in Genk. With the increasing glory and respect for his idol, his admiration and ambition grew stronger.
He was also very interested in the dozen or so friends from China. He often guided them in football techniques, but unfortunately, there seemed to be no players as talented as Wang Feng among them.
Seeing the golden-haired boy in front of him, Wang Feng was both surprised and appreciative. He didn't expect the little guy from back then to have grown to over 1.7 meters and still be rapidly growing.
His football skills had also improved day by day. According to Genk manager Albert, De Bruyne's abilities were already sufficient to join the Genk youth team, making him the youngest player in the team.
After fulfilling little De Bruyne's requests for photos and autographs, Wang Feng met a group of familiar Asian faces. After six months of dietary adjustments and training, these originally impoverished and thin children had gradually grown stronger.
They looked at Wang Feng nervously, understanding that the man in front of them was not only a "big shot" but also their benefactor. Wang Feng showed a warm smile and didn't put on any airs. He started playing with them, and soon, the distance and tension disappeared.
"Wang ge, do you think I can become a big football star like you and make big money in the future?" 12-year-old Huang Hu asked. He was the most skilled and diligent among this group of children.
Wang Feng ruffled his hair and said, "Becoming like me isn't easy; it requires you to put in a hundred or even a thousand times more effort than usual. But making money from playing football is possible, as long as you can keep up with that little guy named De Bruyne, you'll definitely earn big money from football in the future."
Huang Hu's eyes sparkled at these words, nodding heavily in response.
