Chapter 62 Farewell

"Yuan, are you really sure?" Wilt asked again and again.

"Yes, the defensive counter-attacking tactic is also very good. I will hone my ability to seize opportunities there." Yuan Meng no longer had any concerns.

"It's a shame you can't represent Leicester City in the Champions League."

"There's nothing to regret. The group stage is over. To put it bluntly, how far can Leicester City go in the Champions League knockout stage?" Yuan Meng had already thought about this question and made his decision. "What I need most right now is a lot of playing time. The long league season is my main battlefield, not to mention the FA Cup that I can also participate in."

Due to registration issues, Yuan Meng has already represented Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, so she cannot represent any other team in this year's Champions League.

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't say any more. I'll go discuss the relevant procedures with Dortmund."

Wilt said goodbye to Yuan Meng, and the two parted ways for the time being.

Yuan Meng went to the Blakel training base to say her final goodbye.

He had just entered the hall when he was grabbed by Dembele.

"Yuan, I don't care where you play, but I'm aiming for higher rankings on Faceit, so you have to log in tonight!"

Yuan Meng looked helpless: "Brother Deng, can't you just focus on playing football?"

"Playing soccer and video games don't interfere with each other, so what? You're training tonight too?"

"Okay, okay, anyway, there's only a one-hour time difference between the UK and Germany, I'll contact you via Discord then."

Yuan Meng compromised, but he also likes to play games occasionally to relax, and maintaining a relationship with a star like Dembele isn't necessarily a bad thing.

"By the way, the boss seems to be looking for you." Dembele patted Yuan Meng on the shoulder.

That's right. After all, Tuchel has taken such good care of us. Even if there was a minor conflict at the end, we should still say goodbye.

Having made up her mind, Yuan Meng headed to the head coach's office.

Boom boom boom!

"Come in."

As Yuan Meng walked into this familiar place, looking at the unchanging poker face, and knowing she was about to leave, a strange feeling rose in her heart.

"Boss, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, please sit down." Tuchel poured two cups of coffee and sat down at the other end of the sofa.

"Have you heard about Pulisic withdrawing his transfer request?" Tuchel asked casually, as if this troublesome matter was just a trivial matter.

"I've heard about it, isn't that great?" Yuan Meng wondered why Tuher had brought it up.

"Didn't you ask me for more playing time before?" Tuchel looked into Yuan Meng's eyes, his gaze seemingly advising. "I can give you some starting opportunities. If Reus gets injured again, you'll be a regular choice."

Would you like to stay?

Without even thinking, Yuan shook his head: "Boss, I do want more playing time, but I can't exactly curse Marco (Reus) to get injured, can I? That would be too cruel!"

Tuchel smiled. "That's true. I heard you want to go to Leicester City?"

"Yes."

"That's good. Mr. Ranieri is a very respectable and good coach, and more importantly, he's a good person." Tuchel leaned back on the sofa, looking at the ceiling. "Being a head coach is really difficult, and being as beloved as Mr. Ranieri is even more difficult."

"Just play well there. Mr. Ranieri is very easy to talk to, but you should listen to his advice."

Tuchel rarely talks about such digressions; he usually only discusses tactics, speaking specifically and efficiently.

Yuan Meng heeded his advice.

Looking at Tuher, the mentor who had given him so much help and advice, Yuan Meng felt as if the knot in his heart had suddenly been untied.

"Boss, wait for me to come back, and I'll be even stronger then."

"Hmm." Tuchel said no more and waved for the guest to leave.

Yuan Meng's loan agreement has been finalized by both clubs, and both sides are very satisfied.

Leicester City needs fresh blood to avoid relegation, while Borussia Dortmund needs a high-level stage for young players to grow and also to provide playing time for the more valuable Pulisic.

As for the advantages and disadvantages, only time will tell.

……

The plane slowly descended, and outside the window was a gray winter sky, with a cold wind carrying damp air.

Yuan Meng landed in Leicester, England, the day before the winter transfer window opened.

Without the hustle and bustle of London or the modern vibe of Manchester, this place feels more like a warm and unassuming little town, with narrow but neat and clean streets.

The taxi drove through the city streets, with houses on both sides mostly made of red bricks and pointed eaves, and streetlights emitting a pale yellow glow.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street, and occasionally someone wearing a scarf and carrying a coffee would hurry by.

In the distance, you can vaguely see Leicester City's home stadium, the King Power Stadium, located in the southern part of Leicester.

The taxi drove through the city to the northeast, where Yuan Meng planned to settle down near the Bill & Melinda Gates training base.

Since I usually take the team bus to the stadium anyway, considering the commute distance and time, it would be more convenient to rent a place close to the training base.

Wilt had already arranged accommodation in the Belgrave district, a small red brick house with a small garden, in a typical English residential style.

The small garden is planted with evergreen shrubs and a few low trees that still sprout greenery in winter. The interior of the small building is clean and tidy, but not overly luxurious.

The interior is divided into two floors. The living room on the first floor is small, but it has all the basic furniture and appliances. The bedroom is on the second floor, and through the window you can vaguely see the Bill & Melinda training ground and the rooftops of the neighborhood in the distance.

"The environment here is quiet and won't disturb your sleep at night. There are several cafes and small supermarkets nearby, making life convenient. The rent is £900 a month, which is reasonable," Wilt explained.

"It's really good, I'm very satisfied." Yuan Meng smiled at Wilt, "Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

"You're welcome, it's my duty." Wilt handed the keys to Yuan Meng. "Then you get some rest, I'll be going now."

"Okay, no need to see me out."

After Wilt left, Yuan Meng checked the time—19:00 PM.

He didn't feel like cooking at this hour, so he simply ordered takeout and rested in his new house.

Tonight there's a Leicester City game against West Ham United, and Yuan Meng decided to enjoy being a fan by relaxing on the sofa and watching the game.

Before that, he immersed his consciousness into the system to examine the changes over the past six months.
