Chapter 220, the Distant View Is Not as Good as the Countryside
At the beginning of February 2014, all the English media were hyping that Chelsea and Lampard would not renew their contracts. After the end of the season, the two sides broke up peacefully.
Hearing this news, many people actually expected it, and they can get it from Lampard's limited playing time this season; but when the news was confirmed by both parties, everyone was still a little sad.
It is very common in today's international football that the loyal veterans of the club are swept out of the wealthy family.
When the news came out, Lampard's agent received many signing intentions. In addition to the previous West Asia and the United States, this time there are several Premier League mid-lower clubs, and even two English Championship clubs. Team.
Lampard turned down all English clubs, and he couldn't imagine himself playing against Chelsea in another team's uniform.
Regarding whereabouts, Lampard asked his wife Brickley. Brickley is a well-known BBC host in the UK and has a high reputation throughout England, no less than Lampard. On the issue of Lampard's transfer, Brickley said that he supports all of her husband's decisions, and if her husband wants to leave England, he will go with him.
This moved Lampard very much, and he was also ready to go to the United States. During this period of time, his agent has been in the United States, and the closest to him is New York FC. The conditions they proposed are all good, but there is one thing that makes Lampard very embarrassed.
Because Mansour, the owner of Manchester City, is the largest shareholder of New York FC, the relationship between the two clubs is very delicate. Mansour provided Lampard with a high salary and promised the main position. He only had one requirement for Lampard, that is, he must return to Manchester City on loan for one year next season to continue to enhance Manchester City's popularity.
The reason why Lampard chose to leave the Premier League was that he didn't want to be an enemy of Chelsea. If this was the case, it would be tantamount to joining Chelsea's championship competitor. This incident made Lampard very difficult to accept.
His agent is negotiating with the other party to see if there is a better solution.
Lampard has been thinking about moving to the United States recently, but just a few days ago, Lampard received a call from Scholes. Scholes asked him on the phone that Manchester United liked him very much. Are you interested in coming to Manchester United?
Lampard was taken aback. He has no friendship with Manchester United coach Kintag, but only met a few times in previous games. How could he want to sign himself?
Lampard politely declined Scholes's invitation on the phone, and he asked Scholes to express his thanks to Kim Teg on his behalf.
Lampard thought to himself: I can't make the squad at Chelsea, can I be the main player if I go to Manchester United? Even if I went to Manchester United, it would be difficult to get a chance to play.
Later, Lampard received another call from Ferdinand, and there was no doubt that he was also invited.
But this time he heard the words of Ferdinand's invitation, and Lampard was a little moved.
"Frank, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, Manchester United is not Chelsea, and Kintag is not Mourinho. Manchester United not only values young stars, but also relies more on experienced veterans. Look at me, Carrick, Giger As long as our physical condition allows, we will continue to be an important member of the team. Even when I was injured and unable to play for several months, the club still offered me a contract extension.”
Hearing Ferdinand's words, Lampard was silent for a long time. This time he did not refuse immediately, but said to him: "Thank you for the invitation, please give me some time, I will think about it."
When I was watching TV just now, a video of my wife hosting the program was replayed on the TV program. The two daughters Luna and Isla said happily, "Mom is so beautiful."
Brickley smiled dotingly aside.
At this moment, Lampard suddenly felt moved. He pointed to the TV screen: "Brickley, if I go to the United States, what about you?"
Brickley said firmly: "Then I will quit my job at the BBC and accompany you to the United States.
Then take the two children with you. "
Lampard froze for a moment and didn't speak.
Brickley smiled slightly: "Frank, don't worry, with my ability, are you still worried that I can't find a suitable job in the United States?"
But the two children beside them muttered in a low voice. Their 9-year-old eldest daughter "Lu" Na: "I don't want to go to the United States, I don't want to transfer schools."
The 7-year-old daughter Isla also shook her head repeatedly: "Me too, I don't want to leave home and my friends at school."
Lampard suddenly felt selfish!
I have been thinking about my transfer and my career as a player during this time, but I have never thought about my wife and children!
As a well-known BBC presenter, if his wife leaves the UK, can she still have her current social status and career space?
The two children have just started school, and they are about to follow me to the United States. Will they be able to adapt to life there?
And I only think about myself and never think about the feelings of my family, what a jerk I am!
Lampard was silent for a moment, he kissed Brickley lightly, and then hugged his two daughters: "I have decided not to go. We are not going anywhere, just stay in England!"
Brickley froze for a moment, and a smile appeared on her face instantly: "Really?"
Seeing Brickley's smile, Lampard strengthened his belief: "I have decided, I want to stay in the Premier League and continue to prove my worth."
The two children also jumped up happily: "Oh! That's great! I can finally live in this house! I can finally not be separated from my friends!"
Looking at the happy smiles of his family members, Lampard felt a burst of emotion in his heart: If I can make my family happy, even if I retire now, what's the point?
After she was happy, Brickley calmed down: "Frank, there are currently only two teams in the Premier League interested in you, and their rankings are both in the middle and lower reaches. This..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can stay here and continue to play, even if you go to a small team." Lampard comforted his wife.
Although Lampard said so, he was a little disappointed in his heart. Lampard, who is humble and kind on the outside, has a proud and strong heart. If he is asked to lower his value to go to a small Premier League club, he will still feel a little uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Lampard suddenly remembered the phone calls Scholes and Carrick brought to him a few days ago. They said that Manchester United coach Kim Tiger has always been very interested in him and wanted to invite him to join.
Lampard thinks about it now, should he consider his invitation again?
The family was chatting in the living room when suddenly the doorbell of the villa rang.
