Full-Level Pass, Please Call Me The Boss Of The Three Lions

Chapter 289

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 289 A guided artillery shell thirty-six meters away! Aesthetics of violence!

Before the game, due to the absence of Phil Jones and Rojo, who can play as central defenders, due to injuries, only Smalling and young player McNair were left as central defenders.

Considering the impact of Leicester City’s frontcourt, Van Gaal chose to change the formation and adopted a 352 formation.

Obviously, Van Gaal intends to use the local number advantage of the midfield to strengthen the team’s control, thereby suppressing the opponent and not giving Leicester City any chance to counterattack.

In the first half an hour of the game, Manchester United did a very good job on the defensive end.

With Leicester City taking the initiative to give up, Manchester United players slowly passed the ball and pressed the formation across the half court.

Unfortunately, even though they suppressed the Blue Fox in the half court, they did not create anything.

But most of the passes were horizontal and back passes.

Even if they occasionally made vertical threatening passes, they did not create much threat.

Because, the two forwards of Manchester United, Rooney and Martial, seemed to have just woken up and were almost sleepwalking on the court.

Martial, who was moved to the middle, lost the advantage of using speed and dribbling to tear through the defense on the wing, and instead fell into a melee with the Blue Fox defender, and could not play his technical characteristics at all.

As long as Simpson and Kante, who assisted in defense, got on the body, the ball was lost!

Rooney, the captain of the Red Devils who participated in the Champions League in the middle of the week and still started in this game, was exhausted.

Under the double-team of the two tough central defenders Huth and Morgan, he couldn’t even hold the ball steadily.

The number of touches of the Red Devils captain was the lowest among all Manchester United players, only a pitiful nine times!

In the past 30 minutes of the first half, whether it was the number of chances created, the number of crosses, the number of dribbles, or the number of shots on target, they were all zero!

Compared to the Three Lions, there is no teammate like Ling Feng in Manchester United who can feed him the cake.

Coupled with the decline in physical function, he is facing a transition period in his career this season, and his state has been sluggish since the beginning of the season.

The forwards can’t grasp the opportunity, and the Manchester United midfielders can only keep passing the ball, brushing the passing success rate and possession rate.

Seeing that Manchester United’s offensive is really not threatening, Ranieri is not conservative, and directly waved his hand to signal the players to press forward for high-position pressing!

Although pressing out to press will create space behind, the risk of losing the ball will also increase.

However, considering the shitty state of the two Manchester United forwards, the benefits are definitely greater than the risks!

It’s worth a try!

So, the Blue Foxes suddenly strengthened the pressure and robbed like a beast out of the cage.

And facing the sudden pressing of the Blue Foxes, the Manchester United players were obviously a little slow to react.

In the 40th minute of the first half, the Foxes completed a steal in the midfield through a two-on-two pressing group!

“Rooney takes the ball. Pass back”

“Oh! Kante! Block the ball!”

“Drinkwater passes the ball directly!”

“This is the Foxes’ counterattack!”

With a long pass from the top of the arc, the Foxes’ three musketeers plus Albrighton rushed to Manchester United’s half!

This scene immediately caused cheers from the home team fans in the stands.

Vardy, whose sprint speed in the Premier League is second only to Ling Feng, took the lead in getting the ball on the left side of the frontcourt after eating Manchester United’s young player McNair alive.

Because the shooting angle was too small, he chose to look up and observe at the first time, and then passed the ball horizontally to the middle.

Ling Feng, who was responding in the middle, pretended to shoot from a distance, tricking Smalling, who was not far in front of him, to move his center of gravity. Then he faked a shot and passed the ball to the ribs, sending a very secret diagonal pass!

Mahrez, who inserted from behind Blind, easily got the opportunity to face De Gea alone.

He did not hesitate, and directly shot the ball into the far corner with his left foot!

A fatal blow!

The whole attack was fast, fierce and accurate!

The three musketeers of the Blue Foxes who participated in the attack handled it without any drag.

In this way, after only 40 minutes, the defense line with the least goals conceded in the Premier League was still broken by the Blue Foxes!

“The ball is in!!”

“The goal was scored by No. 26, Riyad Mahrez!”

As Manchester United lost the ball first away from home, they had to strengthen their attack.

In the next five minutes, Manchester United’s offensive was even more intense, and they created a great opportunity.

Mata took a corner kick, and “Piggy” headed the ball in front of the goal and hit it

The crossbar flew out of the bottom line.

This shot was Manchester United’s best chance in the first half, and it almost equalized the score for the team.

As Manchester United’s formation pressed forward, the space behind them became larger.

In the first half stoppage time, Schmeichel’s long pass from the backcourt directly penetrated the entire midfield and flew straight to Manchester United’s backcourt.

Vardy was like an unstoppable sports car, squeezing out Smalling and getting the ball at the front of the penalty area.

If De Gea hadn’t made a great save at the critical moment and kept Vardy’s explosive shot out of the door, they might have fallen behind by two goals in the first half.

Fortunately, Atkinson’s whistle sounded in time.

For Manchester United fans, the very thrilling first half of the game finally ended.

. . .

After a short halftime break, Manchester United, who returned to the court again, took a more radical attitude and launched an attack on the Blue Fox formation!

Unfortunately, the 352 formation is mainly offensive, using the number advantage of the midfield and the assists of the two wingbacks to suppress the opponent.

However, when the team’s offense cannot suppress the opponent, or even threaten the opponent’s goal, the shortcomings of this formation with three central defenders will be infinitely magnified!

Especially for a team like Leicester City that focuses on counterattacks, only one long pass is needed to directly penetrate the entire defense line!

When the game time came to the 53rd minute, the Manchester United midfielder made a mistake in passing under the pressure of the Blue Fox.

The ball came to Ling Feng’s feet.

But this time, the nearby “pig” Schweinsteiger did not let the Blue Fox No. 7 speed up, and directly reached out and pulled him to the ground.

Although he got a yellow card, he also strangled the Blue Fox’s counterattack in the cradle.

Manchester United should have been happy.

But seeing that the foul site was about 30 meters away from the goal, he suddenly came to his senses.

Damn!

This season, Ling Feng has scored two direct free kicks, and both were super heavy artillery of more than 30 meters.

Powerful free kicks have become Ling Feng’s magic weapon for winning this season, and have also become a nuclear weapon that makes other Premier League teams tremble with fear!

Seeing Ling Feng start to fiddle with the ball, tens of thousands of home team fans in the stands immediately cheered.

And the hearts of Manchester United fans were like being firmly grasped by a big hand, and they instantly rose to their throats.

“The good show is coming!”

“De Gea, who has conceded the least goals and the most shutouts this season, is facing Ling Feng, who has scored the most long-range goals this season. Who will win?!”

“Let’s wait and see”

After arranging the ball and taking a few steps back, Ling Feng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

His eyes became extremely sharp!

During this period of time, he has been practicing free kicks.

Although it can’t be said that he can hit whatever he points to, it’s almost the same.

At least five of the ten kicks could hit the goal.

As for whether it goes in or not, it depends on luck and character!

He took a look at De Gea’s position, then took a run-up, swung his legs, and shot!

With a “bang”, the ball shot out with the force of thunder, flew over the wall of people, and turned into a black afterimage in the air.

In a breath, it was like an unstoppable lightning, killing to the right side of the goal!

Even if De Gea guessed that Ling Feng was going to shoot to the right side of the goal, he moved in advance.

But the ball came too fast, and the angle was extremely tricky, just in the upper right corner of the goal, rubbing the crossbar and flying into the goal.

Watching the ball enter the net, De Gea, who flew into the air, was actually indignant in his heart.

How can I save this horse? !

This guided artillery shell that spanned 36 meters made the goalkeepers of both sides sad and happy.

The home team fans in the stands also cheered and applauded like crazy.

Even Ranieri on the sidelines held his head in his hands, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Such a powerful free kick is extremely rare in his coaching career.

Perhaps, only Roberto Carlos or Stankovic can shoot this powerful free kick.

After a moment of hesitation, he clapped his hands belatedly and smiled.

As for the hanging hearts of the away fans, they finally died.

“Unbelievable!!!”

“Direct free kick!”

“Master-level performance!”

“Ling Feng expanded the score to two goals! His state today is simply explosive!”

After scoring the goal, Ling Feng did not make the iconic “King of the World” celebration, but ran to the corner flag area and made the “God of War” Batistuta’s machine gun shooting celebration.

Da da da.

What a hell game

Cheng.

What Premier League giants.

All of them die!

This goal reminded many fans of the amazing elevator ball scored by Ronaldo in the match between Manchester United and Portsmouth.

However, compared with Ronaldo, Ling Feng’s free kick was farther from the goal and more violent!

This goal directly stunned the Manchester United players.

Our proud defense was broken through like this?

As the strongest shield of the Premier League that only lost nine goals in the first thirteen rounds of this season, Manchester United lost two goals in less than an hour!

What’s more terrible is that when the game came to the 63rd minute, Manchester United suffered another blow:

Carrick, the veteran midfielder and deputy team leader, injured his hamstring while defending Ling Feng and could not continue.

In desperation, Van Gaal could only choose to replace Carrick with Lingard, and by the way, replace Rooney, who had been doing nothing throughout the game, with Depay wearing the No. 7 jersey.

Then let “Schweinsteiger” retreat to play as a single defensive midfielder, while Lingard and Mata pressed forward to attack!

Already two goals behind, the only way was to fight to the death!

After coming on the court, Lingard, wearing the No. 35 jersey, quickly ran to the midfield and stood next to Ling Feng.

The former teammates who fought side by side last season smiled at each other, which was considered a greeting.

Looking at Lingard with a mohawk, Ling Feng couldn’t help but sigh:

Your Lin Huang is showing his talent!

From the moment he joined the loaned Blue Fox, the career development trajectory of Lin Huang has quietly changed.

Because of his growth and performance on loan at the Blue Fox last season, Lingard was appreciated and reused by Van Gaal after returning to Manchester United.

After a season of training at the Foxes, coupled with the valuable experience of playing with Ling Feng and others, his confidence has increased significantly, and his skills have improved significantly.

He is much stronger than himself at the same time.

This season, Lingard, as a versatile player who can play as a left or right winger and a front midfielder, has played a lot of time and is an important rotation for the team.

He also used his off-ball and interspersed abilities in the frontcourt to successfully gain a foothold in Manchester United.

Not only has he scored four goals in various competitions, but he has also made four assists in various competitions, becoming the team’s assist king!

Including his outstanding performance at the Foxes last year and the honor of winning the European Youth Championship, Lingard has become a rising star in the British Empire.

It is said that the Three Lions coach Hodgson in the stands, in addition to observing the status of Ling Feng, Rooney, and other national team main players, is also closely watching the performance of this Manchester United star.

He is expected to be included in the squad for the first time on the next international match day!

However, being able to become the team’s assist king with four assists also reflects from the side how bad this Manchester United is in creating opportunities.

After all, in this Manchester United team, only Mata and Martial can play smooth passes with him in the frontcourt.

In fact, when Lingard first returned to Manchester United, he was still a little uneasy.

Although he has a certain confidence in his own strength.

However, in his mind, every Manchester United player is the top player in the entire Premier League.

Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy, Berbatov, Van Persie, Giggs

Even though Manchester United is in a transition period, Lingard has a sense of inferiority that he is afraid that he is not worthy of Manchester United.

However, when he participated in the first team training with excitement and trepidation, he was surprised to find that it was not the case at all!

Manchester United’s frontcourt stars, including Rooney, Mata, Depay, Martial and others, have a clear gap compared to his teammates Ling Feng, Vardy and Mahrez in the Blue Foxes!

Yes!

Manchester United’s lineup strength, at least the level of the front players, is not as good as Leicester City!

Whether it is training or playing, he always clearly feels this cruel fact.

Judging from the league record and ranking, the current Leicester City is indeed stronger than Manchester United!

No dispute!

As a child from Carrington and the only one who opened the door to Ronaldo, Lingard has a very deep feeling for Manchester United.

Even if Manchester United is in a trough, even if Manchester United’s lineup strength cannot compete for the championship.

But he only wants to help the team return to the top through his performance on the field!

However, from time to time, he will miss the time when he wore blue clothes and fought side by side with Ling Feng, Vardy, Mahrez and others.
