Chapter 271
The best of August, the pain of a broken leg
In September, the club competition came to an end, and the international match day came.
Ling Feng and Vardy, two Three Lions internationals, came to St. George’s Park again to report.
They will participate in two European preliminaries on the 6th and 9th.
The opponents are San Marino and Switzerland.
In the European preliminaries, England has won six consecutive games.
As long as they beat San Marino and Switzerland, they can directly advance two rounds, lock the first place in the group, and advance to the European Cup in France next year!
Considering that the opponent’s strength is too weak, Hodgson made a lot of rotations in the away game against San Marino, allowing many new internationals to get the chance to start.
Even so, Ling Feng, who returned to the Three Lions after four months, still started the game.
He played for 60 minutes, completed two passes and one goal, and was replaced by Lallana.
When he left the court, Hodgson took the initiative to come forward and hug him to comfort him:
“Well done, the next game is a tough battle, so you can leave the court early to rest in this game.”
“Got it, coach.”
Although he was still one assist away from completing an assist hat trick.
However, he had no interest in brushing data against a super fish team like San Marino.
After returning from the warm Apennine Peninsula, the Three Lions welcomed the challenge of the Swiss national team in the slightly cool Wembley.
In this game, Ling Feng played the whole game and helped the team win 3-0 in front of tens of thousands of home fans.
In this way, England secured the first place in the group with a terrifying record of eight consecutive victories in the European qualifiers, and also secured the qualification for the European Cup in France next year!
Although this result was expected by everyone.
However, after the game, all major media still put the headline “France, here we come!” on the cover.
That night, the Three Lions, who took a special plane back to St. George’s Park, also held a small celebration party.
And Ling Feng also drank two more glasses of champagne with his teammates.
The next day.
As soon as he returned to the club, Ling Feng received the trophy of the Premier League’s best player in August from the official staff of the Premier League.
In the four games in August, he started all the games, scored three goals and sent out an amazing seven assists!
Such an explosive performance also allowed him to defeat Andre Ayew, David Silva, Kolarov and others, and was undisputedly elected as the best player in August!
This is also the second time that Ling Feng has won the honor of the Premier League Player of the Month in his career since September last year!
In addition to the best player in August, he was also selected in the best team in August.
The eleven players in the best team were almost divided up by the top four teams in the league.
This also allowed Ling Feng to complete the two achievements of [Premier League Player of the Month] and [Premier League Team of the Month].
The reward for the former is two free attribute points, and the reward for the latter is one free attribute point.
It is worth mentioning that after Ling Feng’s exploration of the system over the years, he found that not all achievements can be completed repeatedly and rewarded.
For example, [Premier League Player of the Game], [Premier League Player of the Week], [Premier League Team of the Week], [Premier League Goal Double], [Premier League Assist Hat Trick], etc.
These relatively easy achievements can only be rewarded by the system when they are completed for the first time.
And some relatively difficult achievements, such as [Premier League Player of the Year], [Team of the Year], [Premier League Single Season Assist Record], etc., should be able to be completed repeatedly and rewarded.
In addition, Ling Feng does not know whether the champion can complete the achievement repeatedly.
Because so far, he has only won three championships: the English Championship, the FA Cup, and the European Youth Championship.
No championship has been won repeatedly.
However, he speculated based on the difficulty of the achievement that it should be possible.
Perhaps the answer to this question can only be obtained when he wins another FA Cup or consecutive Premier League titles.
Although Ling Feng won the Player of the Month award without any controversy.
However, surprisingly, the honor of the best coach in August did not go to Claudio Ranieri, the Blue Fox coach who led the team to four consecutive wins at the start.
But to another coach who led the team to four consecutive wins, Manchester City coach Pellegrini!
In the four league games in August, Manchester City won all the games, scored ten goals, and created a record of zero goals conceded.
Amazing record!
Although Ranieri led the team to an excellent record and had a stronger offensive firepower.
However, the defense was slightly inferior, and there were goals lost in every game.
Perhaps considering this, the “tinker” Ranieri lost to the “Chilean engineer” Pellegrini in the selection.
However, the fans were very happy about this news.
Because the curse of the Premier League’s best coach of the month is no joke.
In October last season, the former coach Pearson, who had just won the best in September, was affected by the curse and immediately suffered a draw and a loss in the next two league games.
And in the game against Newcastle, a water-drinking brother was “sacrificed”.
Therefore, they hope that the head coach will lead the team well, but they don’t want it to be so good that he can get the best coach of the month.
After taking a selfie with the best player in August and posting it on social media to trick likes and comments, Ling Feng and Leicester City ushered in the first game of September at home.
The opponent is Aston Villa, which is in the neighboring city of Birmingham!
This summer window, Villa lost their top scorer Benteke and main midfielder and captain Delph, and the entire lineup was changed due to the reorganization of the back line.
The record of the first four rounds, one win, one draw and two losses, can only be said to be in average form.
In this game, they came to the King Power Stadium and adopted a very pragmatic strategy in the face of the Blue Foxes who are now in hot form.
Seeing that all Villa players retreated to the half court, leaving only Abanglaho at the forefront, the Leicester City players were slightly stunned and took the initiative to attack.
Since you don’t come, then I will!
You know, they made a name for themselves with offensive football last season!
Facing Villa’s dense defense, Ling Feng laughed directly.
Because he was afraid of shooting teammates during training, he basically only practiced long shots during extra training.
But now, Villa has provided him with a great opportunity to hone his [God of War Heavy Artillery] in actual combat!
Once he pushed past the top of the center circle, about 30 to 40 meters from the goal, he was within his range.
Regardless of whether there was anyone in front of him, Ling Feng would just shoot!
At first, his footwork was not very good, and the ball either went over the crossbar or went out of the goal.
Ranieri frowned when he saw Ling Feng firing long-range shots one after another.
Although Ling Feng was the absolute tactical core on the field and had unlimited firing rights.
However, such a whirlwind shot was still not very reliable.
Even though long-range shots were the main means of breaking through dense defenses, they were not the only means!
After all, you can also create threats by breaking through and creating set pieces.
However, Ling Feng did not choose to use speed to blast, but chose long-range shots, and it was an ultra-long-range shot 30 meters away from the goal!
Such an unreasonable way of playing was totally unlike his style.
This made Ranieri on the sidelines turn around in confusion and ask the assistant coach Walsh beside him:
“What happened to Ling in this game? Has he been stimulated recently?”
“He might”
“But the distance is too far, and the hit rate is too high.”
Before he finished speaking, a crisp sound of Duang suddenly came from the stadium!
The two of them looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that the entire goal of Aston Villa was trembling slightly!
And the Villa goalkeeper Guzan, who was standing on the goal line, looked at the shaking goalpost with horror, and his heart was trembling.
At the same time, as the ball bounced from the goal to his feet, the whole stadium exploded instantly!
All the fans who witnessed this goal showed surprise and disbelief.
When did Ling Feng’s long-range shot become so fierce? !
“Wow!”
“A world wave!”
“Ling Feng’s shot is so beautiful! It’s definitely the best goal of this round!”
“The ball barely rotated in the air, hitting the bottom edge of the crossbar and bouncing into the goal!”
“More importantly, this long shot was thirty-four meters away from the goal.”
“It’s out!”
“According to statistics, Ling Feng’s amazing long shot reached a terrifying speed of 170 kilometers per hour!”
“This is definitely the fastest goal of the season!”
Ranieri and Walsh, who were sitting in the coaching booth, looked at each other, and then stood up at the same time, applauding Ling Feng’s super long-range heavy artillery.
Ranieri also added:
“Well, that. If he wants to shoot, let him shoot.”
And Walsh nodded, agreeing: “Finch food.”
And Ling Feng, who scored the goal, just stood there, opened his arms, and welcomed the embrace of his teammates.
Hug and congratulations:
“Too damn cool!”
“Your shot was so beautiful!”
Facing the excited teammates, Ling Feng just smiled mysteriously and suddenly said:
“If I say I was lucky, would you believe it?”
Ling Feng’s words made Vardy and other teammates stunned for a moment, and then responded:
“Even if it was a lucky shot, it was a great shot!”
With Ling Feng’s super heavy artillery, the Blue Foxes became more powerful.
The home advantage, coupled with the gap in strength, allowed the home team to continue to control the initiative on the field and launched wave after wave of attacks on Villa.
With the goals of Vardy and Mahrez, the final score of the game was also fixed at 4 to 1.
. . .
After defeating Villa at home, Ling Feng had not had time to enjoy the joy of the team’s five consecutive victories with the team, and he learned a bad news from Lingard’s sudden call!
In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United played away against PSV Eindhoven. Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw was hit by a fierce tackle from his opponent, causing a tibia fracture on the spot!
The moment he heard the news, Ling Feng’s heart suddenly surged.
It still happened!
Although he knew that Luke Shaw had suffered a broken leg in the early stage of his career.
However, he did not know the specific day and game when it happened.
After asking Lingard about the general process and situation and getting the name of the hospital where Luke Shaw was, Ling Feng immediately took the earliest flight to PSV Eindhoven, the Netherlands the next day.
His fate with Luke Shaw began at the PFA Awards Ceremony last season.
At that time, Ling Feng was just a supernova in the English Championship, while Luke Shaw was a Premier League supernova known as the hope of England’s wing.
However, Luke Shaw did not, but very kindly introduced him to some celebrities and predecessors on the scene.
After that, Ling Feng became roommates with Luke Shaw after being called up by the Three Lions.
From then on, the two people of similar age quickly became good friends.
Even though they were not in the same club, they would keep in touch and sometimes make appointments to play FIFA together.
Most of the time, it was Luke Shaw who took the initiative to text Ling Feng.
Luke Shaw is also a funny and honest boy in private, and he would send some funny videos to Ling Feng from time to time.
Whenever Ling Feng won an award or broke a record, he would send a text message as soon as possible, or even make a video call to send the most sincere congratulations.
And after Ling Feng had a girlfriend, he would also ask Ling Feng how to pick up a supermodel girlfriend.
Last season, when Luke Shaw was worried about his playing time, Ling Feng also comforted him many times, asking him to train hard and wait quietly for his chance to come.
And Luke Shaw also accepted his advice, worked hard, and gradually gained the trust of the head coach and more playing time.
Rather than being a good friend, Ling Feng regards Luke Shaw as his little brother!
Therefore, when he learned that Luke Shaw had suffered a serious leg injury, he immediately asked for leave to go to the Netherlands!
On the plane, Ling Feng looked at the [Injury Recovery Card] with a faint golden light in the [Item Bar] and fell into deep thought.
This [Injury Recovery Card] is a system reward when his social media fans reach 10 million.
The effect of the card is to speed up the recovery of injuries.
Because he has always been in good health and has not suffered any serious injuries.
In addition to the [Physique] of up to 95, whether it is an ordinary sprain or bruise, or muscle fatigue or injury, he can recover in a short time.
Therefore, he has never used the [Injury Recovery Card] item.
Ling Feng from the future knows very well that after this serious leg injury, Luke Shaw suddenly went from England’s wing hope to Manchester United’s marginal man.
During this period, he also suffered from post-injury psychological trauma, weight gain, and various problems of Mourinho’s suppression.
But in the end, he went through hardships and spent several years to be reborn and become the most trustworthy player on Manchester United’s left.
Perhaps only Luke Shaw himself can understand the difficulties and sadness.
For Ling Feng, Luke Shaw is not only a player he admired very much in his previous life, but also his roommate and teammate in the national team, and a little brother with whom he has a very good relationship!
Although the [Injury Recovery Card] is his trump card.
However, Luke Shaw now definitely needs it more than himself!
After using the [Injury Recovery Card], Luke Shaw can recover faster than before, and may be able to catch up with the European Cup in France next year.
Even if he can’t catch up with the European Cup, the impact of this severe leg injury on him can also
Much smaller.
His future career would not have to be so tortuous and bumpy!
Of course, Ling Feng had also considered the consequences of doing so.
First, he would never regret the decision he made!
Secondly, with his current [Physique] of 95, plus the remaining two insurances of [Anti-Injury Card], he would be unscathed even if he was maliciously tackled.
It is impossible for him to suffer a major injury that would affect his career.
Finally, he also thought of a solution in case he got injured:
That is to continue to add points to [Physique], up to 100!
He might become an iron man who would never get injured!
The question now is whether this [Injury Recovery Card] on him can be used on other players!
