Chapter 220 How can you not love the Premier League? !
“Good shot!”
“Ling! Go!”
“Let them see how good you are!”
Amid the cheers of the Foxes fans, Ling Feng dribbled the ball forward.
Although he was not dribbling fast,
But he kept his chest and head held high, and there was a feeling of striding forward.
Moreover, compared with the previous slightly stiff movement, the whole dribbling movement became much smoother.
Seeing this, Pearson on the sidelines raised his eyebrows and asked Walsh beside him:
“Steve, have you noticed that Ling’s dribbling feels smoother than before?”
Hearing this, Walsh smiled with relief and responded meaningfully:
“This is all the sweat shed on the training ground”
Seeing Ling Feng coming towards him, Mahrez also quickly moved to the middle, leaving space on the right and letting him run!
After crossing the center line and entering Manchester United’s half, his national team teammate and roommate “Fat Xiao” Luke Shaw came up to him head-on.
Facing Ling Feng’s advance, Luke Shaw looked serious, as if facing a great enemy.
He may be the one who knows Ling Feng best among all Manchester United players.
He even knows whether Ling Feng snores when he sleeps and what underwear he likes to wear!
When the national team conducts internal training and confrontations, as a substitute left back, he often has to play against Ling Feng.
Therefore, Luke Shaw knew very well that Ling Feng would pass him without mercy if he was not careful for a moment!
Once Ling Feng passed him, he could not catch up with him at all.
Therefore, he had prepared himself mentally for the situation that “even if the ball passed, the person could not pass”!
However, knowing and doing are two completely different things!
Moreover, he knew Ling Feng very well, and so did Ling Feng! !
Generally speaking, he was a right-footed player, and when he was making soup, he walked from the outside, which made it easier to connect with the next step of dribbling.
Seeing Luke Shaw’s position, he was also inclined to defend his outside line.
Therefore, this time he chose to make soup from the inside!
A backward shoulder shake made Luke Shaw think that he was going to walk on the outside line, and slightly moved the center of gravity of his body.
Then he stepped to the left with the inside of his right foot, and the whole person passed to the left!
Oops!
Luke Shaw realized that he was deceived, and subconsciously reached out to pull, but failed to pull the corner of Ling Feng’s clothes.
After passing Luke Shaw, there was a vast sea and sky!
“Ling Feng passed!”
“Luke Shaw couldn’t stop him at all!”
Ling Feng continued to advance along the right road at high speed, while not forgetting to observe the running positions of his teammates with ease.
There was Vardy at the front point, Mahrez inserted in the inverted triangle, and Lingard at the back point.
So the question is, who should he pass to?
After just a few seconds, he made a decision among the three options!
He suddenly exerted force to move the ball forward, then took two steps at a time, raised his left arm high, and then kicked the ball to the middle!
“Cross!”
The ball drew an inner arc, just bypassing Phil Jones who was defending at the front point, and came directly to Vardy behind him.
As if he had already guessed that the ball would pass to him, Vardy, who had been prepared, pushed with his right foot.
With a “bang”, the ball suddenly changed direction and shot straight to the lower right corner of the goal!
Even though De Gea landed very quickly and did a split, he still couldn’t stop the ball from going into the net from the dead corner inside the goal post!
“The ball is in!!!”
“Jamie Vardy!”
“He scored his eleventh league goal of the season!”
“Who would have thought that this striker, who just turned 28, was still playing in the amateur league four years ago!”
“And now, he has become one of the most lethal strikers in the Premier League!”
“How can you not love the Premier League like this?!”
Under the excited commentary of the commentator, Vardy opened his arms, ran to the stands where the away fans were with an excited look on his face, pumped his fist and roared!
“Come On!”
At this moment, Old Trafford was breached by Leicester City for the first time!
It is worth mentioning that Vardy scored twice in the first round against Manchester United.
With three goals in two games, Vardy is the player with the most goals against Manchester United this season!
In addition to Manchester United, Vardy also scored against Everton and Liverpool, two teams ranked in the top five of the league last season.
This future
“Blue Fox Soul” has begun to show the true colors of a “giant killer”!
At the same time, on the stands.
Witnessing Ling Feng’s wonderful one-stop attack after stealing from the backcourt and advancing to the frontcourt to assist, Ferguson was a little dissatisfied with the team’s first loss of the ball.
But he still couldn’t help but give Ling Feng a thumbs up in his heart.
Although I have always heard that the media has praised this Leicester kid to the sky.
However, this is the first time he has seen Ling Feng play football on the spot.
I have to say that this guy’s cross is something!
As his thoughts turned, a touch of nostalgia appeared on the old man’s face!
The same jersey number, the same right cross, the same left arm raised.
This made him think of his favorite disciple, Beckham, who also has both good looks and skills!
Compared with Beckham’s large arc of 45 degrees, Ling Feng’s arc cross is faster and more sudden.
But relatively speaking, the accuracy is relatively poor, and the shooting skills of teammates will be required to be higher.
After being teammates with Ling Feng for a year, and with good reaction and shooting skills, Vardy was able to roughly predict the landing point of the cross and complete a good quality shot.
If it were another forward, such as Ulloa, he might not be able to hit the ball within the goal range.
However, apart from being handsome and having accurate crosses, Ling Feng and Beckham don’t have much in common.
More importantly, the 19-year-old Beckham is definitely not as comfortable as the 19-year-old Ling Feng!
Both the pass and the run are quite masterful, firmly controlling the offensive rhythm of Leicester City.
No wonder the media gave him the title of “future midfield master”.
Thinking of this, Ferguson couldn’t help but smile slightly and muttered in his heart:
“It seems that those guys didn’t lie to me”
Before that, Scholes, Ferdinand, and even Rooney had mentioned Ling Feng’s name to Ferguson.
They all think that Ling Feng is a super talent that England has never seen before.
If Manchester United can have a talented player like him, it will definitely be able to achieve a revival and even reach the top of the Premier League and even Europe again!
And they are also very clear that even though he has retired, Ferguson still has a great influence on Manchester United.
He even has a certain say in the team’s transfer and recruitment.
If Ferguson can talk to the club’s top management and ask them to buy Ling Feng, then at least Manchester United’s offense will not have any problems!
Originally, Ferguson didn’t take the recommendations of his former disciples too seriously.
Over the years, he has seen too many so-called “geniuses” and “prodigies” who have been praised by the media.
Until today, after watching less than half of the game, his years of coaching experience and intuition told him that all the praise for Ling Feng was not excessive!
This black-haired boy, at a young age, has a football IQ and a variety of passing skills that exceed his peers.
He plays football reasonably, is fast, and is not bad in confrontation.
Whether it is from the technical aspect, physical aspect, or football IQ and attitude, Ferguson can’t find any fault.
Of course, Ling Feng’s talent and strength are visible to the naked eye.
Manchester United is not the only club that covets him.
At this moment, the Arsenal scouts and Liverpool scouts in the stands are also staring at the court with shining eyes.
However, they are not here to investigate Ling Feng.
Because Ling Feng is too expensive.
With their financial situation, they can’t afford it at all!
On the contrary, Vardy, who just scored a goal, is a more realistic target!
At the age of 28, it is the golden age for professional players.
Although there is no potential to be tapped, judging from the goal rate in the Championship and the Premier League, Vardy is definitely a very good combat force.
Most importantly, it’s cheap!
So, both scouts decided to call their bosses during the halftime break:
Be sure to sign Vardy before the transfer window closes!
. . .
As Vardy helped Leicester City take the lead, Manchester United, who had lost face in front of the home fans, launched a fierce counterattack.
However, at this time, there were still seven or eight minutes left before the end of the first half.
Moreover, Pearson was very cunning and waved his hand, allowing the entire formation to shrink back to the half court and play a defensive counterattack!
Manchester United’s offensive could not pose much threat to the goal guarded by Schmeichel.
In the end, as Cambiasso kicked the ball forward, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half!
This half was absolutely unacceptable to Manchester United supporters.
Losing 5-3 in the first round at the King Power Stadium, can you still say
If it was away from home, the team was not well-coordinated and so on to get away with the team’s poor performance.
However, this was at Old Trafford!
As the former Premier League overlord, Manchester United’s home performance was definitely not up to standard!
Of course, the most unacceptable thing was naturally the head coach who was under pressure from the team’s performance.
Therefore, when Van Gaal returned to the locker room with a gloomy face, the first thing he did was to start spitting!
With a snap, he threw the tactical board in his hand to the ground!
“Guys, this performance is not enough at home!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to Januzai who was looking down and said in a deep voice:
“Adnan (Januzai), look up!”
When Januzai looked up with a blank look on his face, Van Gaal immediately said bluntly
“I ask you, what the hell are you doing on the field?!”
“I asked you to look up more and observe your teammates’ running positions and cooperate with your teammates. Why do you just stare at the ball and dribble it there without passing it!”
Facing Van Gaal’s scolding, Januzai did not think there was anything wrong, but felt a little wronged.
As a winger, tearing the opponent’s defense line through dribbling is his playing style.
Although he dribbled a little more
“I just didn’t see it.”
Hearing that Januzai was still defending his poor performance, Van Gaal’s face became even uglier.
He didn’t continue to talk nonsense, and said directly:
“Then, you can sit on the bench and watch carefully how other teammates pass the ball!”
“Marouane (Fellaini), you play in the second half!”
It was not beyond anyone’s expectations.
When the players of both sides returned to the court again, Van Gaal directly replaced Januzai with Fellaini.
Fellaini played as a right midfielder to strengthen the defensive height and hardness of the middle.
With the appearance of Fellaini, a famous player in the Chinese Super League, Ling Feng’s space for movement in the middle became narrower.
Whenever he got the ball, this fluffy head would come up and use his strong body to put pressure on the back.
Moreover, without Januzai as an “undercover”, Manchester United finally played a lot of smooth cooperation on the offensive end.
It was not until the 67th minute of the game that Manchester United replaced Van Persie with Mata, a technical midfielder who played a small-scale cooperation in the midfield, that they finally equalized the score:
Di Maria advanced in the middle, and then played a two-pass-one wall cooperation with Rooney who retreated, easily passing Cambiasso.
Cambiasso has been firmly in the main position of the Blue Fox midfielder this season with rich experience and awareness.
However, it cannot be denied that he is already 34 years old and his physical function has declined greatly.
If you really encounter a speed player, you can’t defend it at all if you don’t foul!
After passing Cambiasso, Di Maria played a wall cooperation with Mata and broke into the penalty area.
The two tall central defenders of Leicester City are most afraid of fast players!
Before they came forward to block, the Red Devils No. 7 directly shot with his left foot and hit the near corner of the goal.
Even though Schmeichel reacted quickly and dived to the side to keep the ball out of the door at the first time.
But by mistake, the ball was blocked in front of the goal.
At that moment, Falcao rushed forward with a sharp sense of smell in front of the goal and sent the ball into the empty goal with a shovel shot!
The next second, the whole Old Trafford stadium was boiling!
At the same time, Pearson, who was standing on the sidelines, looked at the main coach next to him.
From each other’s eyes, you can see a strong sense of helplessness.
Just before losing the ball, Pearson was just about to use Albrighton to replace Lingard, who was not tempered by Valencia.
From this detail alone, it can be seen that in terms of on-the-spot command, Pearson and world-famous coaches like Van Gaal are still far apart.
However, after Manchester United scored, he discussed with the assistant coach and made tactical and personnel adjustments in order to free Ling Feng!
He directly replaced Lingard.
But it was not Albrighton who was replaced, but the Argentine Ulloa, and then directly changed the formation to 442!
Move Ling Feng to the right and Mahrez to the left.
In this way, no matter how many people there are in the middle, it is impossible to trap Ling Feng in it!
After the change of formation, Leicester City’s tactics became simpler and more brutal!
When there is a ball in the backcourt, just look for Ling Feng and Mahrez on both sides, and then pass the ball directly to the two forwards in the penalty area, one tall and one fast!
Van Gaal, who was standing on the sidelines, also saw this tactical change of Leicester City.
The joy on his face because of the equalizer turned into full of sorrow again.
Damn, this trick again?
You know, the two sides competed in the first round, relying on this magic
With this move, Leicester City scored two more goals in the crucial stage of Manchester United’s fierce counterattack in the second half, completely killing the game!
