Chapter 219, The Lost Old Courtier

There was a lot of snow today, and the whole of London was shrouded in white. In a luxury residential area, two people in a villa were talking.

"Frank, please be happy. Although you are not included in the competition list for this game, you still have one more day off to spend time with your children at home. Isn't that great?"

"Brickley, I spent a lot of time with you and the children this season..."

"Frank, don't think so much. Mourinho is unwilling to use you. There are many teams in the Premier League who want you. Don't be depressed. By the way, Scholes will come to see you later, I'll go get some refreshments."

"Okay, thank you Brickley."

The woman named Brickley left the living room, and the whole living room suddenly fell silent, leaving only one person sitting on the sofa.

And the person sitting on the sofa is Lampard, the well-known England star and the core midfielder of Chelsea!

Oh, it should be said that Chelsea's former midfield core...

He's been in a bad mood lately.

Lampard was delighted when Mourinho returned to Chelsea last summer. Because during the first period of Mu, Lampard and Mourinho had an excellent relationship. At that time, the Chelsea central axis composed of him, Terry and Drogba became the biggest cornerstone for the Blues to gallop in the Premier League. Under Mourinho's command, the city was destroyed and the stronghold was destroyed, which made a good story of international football generals concentric.

After Mourinho left the Apennines, Chelsea continued to move forward based on the foundation laid by the Magic Birds over the years. In the 2011-2012 season, they finally won the coveted Champions League trophy.

Even so, a group of veterans headed by Terry and Lampard still miss the days with Magic Bird very much.

Unexpectedly, after a few years, Mourinho came back again. Lampard is full of joy. He hopes to continue to maintain his peak form under Mourinho and help Chelsea regain one championship after another.

But what he didn't expect was that the first thing Mourinho did after returning to Chelsea was to put him in the sidelines, which made Lampard unexpected.

Chelsea's current midfield is extremely luxurious. In addition to him, Hazard, Oscar, Ramirez, William, Essien, Mata, Schurrle, even so, Mourinho is still dissatisfied. Matic was also introduced to enhance the hardness of the midfield. In such a lineup, Lampard's position is declining day by day. He has been reduced from the main force to the rotation, and then from the rotation to the substitute. Now, his name is not even on the roster of the game.

Lampard felt a little sad. He knew that in the current Chelsea team, there are indeed many super-strong players. Even Mata, who performed very well last season, has been reduced to a substitute. There is even news that he About to leave the team; the young and talented De Bruyne was sold to the Red Devils Manchester United; and Essien, who created the first miracle with him, has been expelled from the Blues this winter and sent to AC Milan.

As time went by, Lampard gradually calmed down. He knew that he was 35 years old and was no longer young. It was time to give the opportunity to young people.

Even on the usual training ground, he is still the magic lamp in excellent condition...

Lampard has only one thought on his mind right now.

No matter what his identity is, as long as he can continue to protect the Blue Army, he will be content. After winning the Champions League, his last wish is to stay with his favorite club until he retires from the Blues.

His contract expires at the end of the season and he had started negotiations with the club a few months ago. His current weekly salary is 180,000 euros. This time Lampard offered to cut his salary and renew his contract.

However, there has been no movement from Chelsea.

Some time ago, Chelsea and Terry renewed their contract. Terry's weekly salary dropped by nearly 40% in exchange for the opportunity to stay in the team. The salary cut proposed by Lampard also directly reduced the weekly salary to 120,000 euros.

In this way, he won the last contract of the old Chelsea.

However, the Chelsea club still did not take any action. They are actively discussing with Lampard's agent on the surface, but in fact there is no progress.

In this winter, Essien left London for an expedition to the Apennines.

On the occasion of parting, there is not even a decent farewell ceremony.

Before leaving, Lampard and Essien embraced tightly. Essien, with bright eyes, is still in good condition. In Lampard's eyes, he is still the steel barrier that Mu partnered with him in the midfield in the first period.

The feeling of galloping on the battlefield at that time can still be deeply remembered now.

Before leaving, Essien was a little disappointed. He smiled wryly and said to Lampard: "I thought everything would be the same after he came back, but I was wrong. Everything has changed. I am old, and he is more ruthless than before. There is no future for me here, and I have to leave. Frank, I hope you can renew your contract smoothly, realize your wish, and guard the Blue Bridge until you die."

Hearing what Essien said, Lampard suddenly remembered a few years ago, when they were still young and full of energy. They won the first Premier League championship together. At that time, Mourinho put his arms around the two and said excitedly: "Let us create miracles together and become legends of the Blues together!"

Thinking of the original oath now, it's like a joke.

Lampard opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say to comfort or instruct Essien. In the end, he just hugged his extremely close comrade-in-arms and brother tightly.

Essien, go ahead, maybe after the end of this season, the Blue Bridge will have no more blue eights...

After January this year, Lampard is about to become a free agent. He has received invitations from many clubs, but none of them are from any giants, and most of them are invitations from West Asia and the United States.

Lampard sighed a little: Have I been reduced to the point where I have to go far away and leave the mainstream European league?

At this time, the only person who knows that my state is still there may be myself.

There is still no movement on Chelsea's contract extension. Lampard even considered that if he could stay, he would be willing to halve his salary.

But not long after the winter transfer period ended, Lampard got an inside message from his agent: Chelsea had reached an agreement with Barcelona. After the end of the season, Cesc Fabregas will officially transfer to Chelsea and take over the Chelsea midfielder. Attack the banner!

This incident completely chilled Lampard.

It turns out that you have been delaying the contract renewal not because of the weekly salary, but because you have no intention of letting me stay here at all! Please read the latest chapter of "Red Devil Heir Claw Machine Bookstore" for free for the first time.
