Of course, football is ultimately a team sport!
When the two teams' performances are vastly different, individual ability is difficult to change the outcome.
The same was true for the game against Monaco.
Although with a goal and an assist by Wang Chu, the team successfully scored two goals.
However!
In the match against Monaco, Leicester City still lost to Leicester City with a score of 2:3.
Wang Chu was the only Leicester City player to score full marks in the match.
The river always flows forward, and time cannot turn back. The team cannot stay forever in the atmosphere of defeat against Monaco.
There are more games waiting for them to face.
Leicester City's next and final friendly match was against Northampton from England's League One.
Wang Chu, due to his outstanding performance in the previous two friendlies, started again.
However, Leicester City was off to a bad start and was immediately overtaken by Northampton.
Leicester City's defense seemed to be still asleep. They left a big gap in the center. Facing such a big gap, Northampton's striker did not waste the opportunity. With a powerful long shot, they scored a goal.
Leicester City was easily scored on in the beginning, which immediately weakened their momentum.
Fortunately, thanks to Wang Chu's level-maxed passing, Wang Chu once again staged a hat-trick of assists.
Vardy scored twice.
During the match, Wang Chu also attempted several shots, but his shooting ability was still too low. He did not score in the end.
Northampton did not lose heart despite being two goals behind, and launched a fierce attack against Leicester City.
They finally scored a goal to save face before the match ended.
But that's all. In the end, thanks to Wang Chu's hat-trick of assists, Leicester City ultimately won against Northampton with a score of 3:2.
In the three friendly matches, Wang Chu had outstanding performances, whether facing strong or weak opponents.
In just three friendly matches, Wang Chu completed a total of seven assists and one goal.
Do you know what this means? This means Wang Chu completed one goal and seven assists.
In other words, Wang Chu averaged almost 2.67 goals per match.
Even more significant, it means Wang Chu scored one goal in three games.
Now, Leicester City fans know that Leicester City, through a trial in the summer transfer window, acquired a talented midfielder for free.
The data of 8 goals created in three friendly matches also thoroughly shocked Leicester City's management.
Now the management is anxious.
You know, even though manager Pearson was very optimistic about Wang Chu at the beginning.
But!
Leicester City's management looked down on Wang Chu after seeing that he was just a Chinese.
In their eyes, the Chinese simply cannot play football.
So, the contract they prepared for Wang Chu was only the minimum team salary.
The buyout clause was even only €1 million.
But!
The strength Wang Chu has shown now is not simply €1 million. Any team willing to pay that amount can immediately activate the buyout clause and take Wang Chu away from the King Power Stadium.
And Wang Chu is still a 22-year-old young player with great potential for growth.
I believe many teams will be willing to offer him a chance.
And that's exactly what happened!
Several teams have already inquired about Leicester City's willingness to sell Wang Chu.
So!
After the last friendly match, Leicester City's management called Lin Dong.
They asked Lin Dong to bring Wang Chu to discuss the new contract.
The next day, Wang Chu and Lin Dong arrived at the Leicester City office building.
Lin Dong, a reborn football enthusiast, was well-versed in Leicester City's situation.
Especially in terms of management. In the summer of 2010, Thai tycoon Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha bought Leicester City Club for €39 million.
This businessman, ranked fifth on the Thai rich list and 388th on the Forbes World's Richest List, has a special love for football. His son also received professional football training from a young age.
After taking over Leicester City, Vichai used only two years to transform this faltering team into a strong force in the Championship.
If their luck hadn't been so bad, they might already be playing in the Premier League.
Besides the chairman and shareholders, the club also has a talented management team.
Steve Walsh, head of recruitment, is the club's top scout. He was entrusted by Vichai to discover countless talented players, which is also the key to Leicester City's rapid improvement.
In the summer of 1994, Steve Walsh's powerful shot sent Leicester City into the Premier League.
Twenty years later, he is still going all out to discover more outstanding players for the team.
Jon Rudkin, Director of Football, is very professional in managing the team and is a trusted subordinate of Vichai.
Manager Nigel Pearson and assistant coach Craig Shakespeare, their tacit cooperation is the foundation for Leicester City's good performance. They have poured all their heart and soul into the team.
Besides their efforts in football, Vichai also has a deep connection with China.
He not only focuses on Leicester City's football career but also strives to promote business cooperation between Leicester City and China, paving the way for the club's future development.
His grandfather was born and raised in Fujian, China. He has Chinese blood flowing through his veins.
His son, Aiyawatt, also has a Chinese name, Xu Shengyuan.
Therefore, when they saw Wang Chu and Lin Dong, they felt a special sense of closeness.
This connection with China made the relationship between Wang Chu and Leicester City Club even closer.
Lin Dong and Wang Chu did not expect that it would be the chairman of Leicester City, Vichai, who would personally come for just a new contract signing for a team rookie.
Vichai, worthy of being a top tycoon, exuded an astonishing aura just by sitting there.
Seeing this, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Vichai scanned Wang Chu and Lin Dong. When he saw Lin Dong involuntarily swallowing his saliva, he immediately understood.
He could see at a glance that Lin Dong was just an inexperienced rookie. He was relieved that he wouldn't have to face a blood-sucking agent like Raiola.
"Please take a seat!"
Vichai smiled at Wang Chu and Lin Dong.
Wang Chu and Lin Dong nodded and sat in the chairs opposite Vichai.
However, at this moment, Lin Dong had already put his mind on the system.
《Name: Lin Dong》
《Occupation: Football Agent》
《Ability Value: 66》
《Players Under Management: Wang Chu》
《Warehouse: 7 Trait Upgrade Chances》
《Traits: Basic People-Reading, Basic Negotiation, Basic Affability, Detective Eyes》
Lin Dong knew that his current abilities were not enough to deal with someone like Vichai.
"System, upgrade Trait 'Basic Negotiation'!" Lin Dong said without hesitation in his mind.
《Ding! Trait 'Basic Negotiation' is upgrading, please wait!》
《Ding! Trait 'Basic Negotiation' has been upgraded to 'Intermediate Negotiation'!》
《Intermediate Negotiation: A veteran in the negotiation field!》
"Continue upgrading Intermediate Negotiation!"
《Ding! Trait 'Intermediate Negotiation' is upgrading, please wait!》
《Ding! Trait 'Intermediate Negotiation' has been upgraded to 'Advanced Negotiation'!》
《Advanced Negotiation: An expert in the negotiation field!》
"Continue upgrading..."
.........
《Negotiation Master: Possesses extremely terrifying negotiation skills! Able to gain the greatest benefits in negotiation!》
Lin Dong spent four Trait Upgrade Chances to successfully upgrade his Negotiation Trait to Negotiation Master.
Suddenly!
Lin Dong felt that he could handle any situation.
Not only that, Lin Dong felt that countless experiences related to football contract signing appeared in his mind.
He looked at Vichai and a subtle smile appeared on Lin Dong's lips.
Vichai, who was sitting opposite Lin Dong, suddenly froze.
Because from the moment Lin Dong sat down at the negotiation table, the pressure around him instantly changed.
It was as if he had transformed from a rookie into a seasoned general.
A bad premonition welled up in Vichai's heart.
