Chapter 87: I was eighteen years old, and I stood like a gangster【】
Oh ho!
It’s actually Teacher Tony’s putting skills? !
In an instant, countless scenes flashed through Ling Feng's mind.
That is a drill scene of players putting and shooting outside the penalty area!
Among them, the player who appears most often in the picture is none other than Toni Kroos, one of Real Madrid's "ceremonial midfielders"!
Following the scene after scene, Ling Feng learned the techniques and key points of this skill in a short period of time.
The player skills rewarded by the system are said to be skills, but they do not require Ling Feng to release them.
The effect of the skill will only be triggered when he performs specific actions.
In short, in game terms, these skills are passive skills.
However, even with this [Puttering Master] skill, the accuracy of his putting shots outside the penalty area has been greatly improved.
However, this does not mean that he can score goals with just a shot outside the penalty area.
Whether he can score a goal is closely related to his various attributes, such as [shooting power] [long shot] [end] [arc].
The higher the attributes, the better his attributes. The probability of scoring a goal from a long shot will naturally be higher.
Even with the attributes related to his shooting, except for [Arc], none of them reached over 80.
However, Ling Feng was quite satisfied with this skill.
Because, with [Putter Master], a skill related to long shots, he will be able to attempt certain long shots outside the penalty area in the future.
This can be regarded as a new weapon in his arsenal that sometimes works but doesn't work.
You know, in the past half-season, most of his goals were passed back to the center through the inverted triangle from the side, and outflanked the goal in the penalty area.
Now that he has this skill, he will be able to threaten the goal with long shots without entering the penalty area.
The so-called putt is actually a push that uses the inner arch of the foot to hit the middle of the ball.
Most push shots pay more attention to angles and arcs, which is just suitable for midfielders like Ling Feng who are not very good at shooting.
Furthermore, long-range shooting, just like life, sometimes depends on luck.
There is always a time to make a move.
Whether it is winning two of the best awards in the Championship, or launching the [Puttering Master] at this stage. His very helpful long-range shooting skills all put him in a good mood.
That night, Ling Feng slept soundly.
In his dream, he seemed to see himself defeating major giants with long shots in the Premier League and leading the team to victory
The next day.
Ling Feng and his family visited London for a while before reluctantly driving back
Although London has good living conditions, Leicester is their home.
After returning home, Ling Feng received a call from Mendes.
Originally, knowing that he would not win the award, Ling Feng did not plan to attend the PFA awards ceremony.
However, after communicating with Mendes, he changed his mind.
If he is invited this time but does not attend, it will definitely leave a bad impression on the PFA.
Then even if he has a chance to win the award next time, PFA members may not necessarily vote for him.
This is normal.
If you don’t give face to me, why should I give face to you?
Football is not only about fighting and killing, but also about the world.
So, after following the team to Harshfield for the last away game of the season on the 26th, Ling Feng went to Asked the head coach for a day off to attend the PFA awards ceremony the next day.
Head coach Pearson also readily agreed.
It is worth mentioning that the PFA awards ceremony coincides with several league games in the 36th round of the Premier League.
Among them is the focus of the battle between Liverpool and Chelsea!
. . . April 27, 2014, is destined to be a day worth remembering in the history of the Premier League.
It is also a day that thousands of Liverpool fans and supporters may never forget in their lifetime.
In the thirty-sixth round of the 2013-14 Premier League season, top-ranked Liverpool faced Chelsea, who ranked third in the league, at Anfield Stadium at home.
Originally, Chelsea was still five points away from the top spot. Knowing that there was no hope of winning the championship, Chelsea sent in a substitute lineup.
In this game, Liverpool, with all its main players, only needs to score one point and then win the remaining two league games to basically lock in the championship.
However, the curse of "just a draw" does not only apply to a large country with a population of more than one billion, but also applies to certain key matches in football.
During the game, Gerrard, who was holding the ball in the backcourt, received a pass from his teammate and accidentally missed the ball.
And just when he reacted and wanted to go after him, he suddenly slipped as if his feet were on ice.
This slip was seized by Chelsea forward Demba Ba, who broke into the penalty area with the ball and calmly fired a shot into the goal.
With this slip, Liverpool's morale suffered a huge blow, and they finally lost this key championship battle with a score of zero to two.
After losing to Chelsea, Liverpool are tied with 80 points with Manchester City, the second-place winner in the league on the other side.
However, Manchester City has eight more goal differences than Liverpool.
In other words, Liverpool has given up the initiative to win the championship.
Even if they win the remaining two league games, they will not be able to overtake Manchester City and win the championship.
It was this fatal slip that ruined Liverpool and Gerrard's Premier League championship dream!
Later, many people believed that Gerrard was the culprit that prevented Liverpool from winning the championship this year.
Gerrard himself was still haunted by the slip.
Even after retiring, watching Liverpool regain the Premier League championship will be unforgettable.
However, in Ling Feng’s view, this cannot be entirely blamed on Gerald.
From a consequentialist perspective, Gerrard made a fatal mistake and was indeed wrong.
However, throughout the long season, it was under the leadership of Gerrard's outstanding personal performance and strong leadership that Liverpool was able to remain in the championship ranks.
It is obviously unfair to erase his efforts and performance throughout the season just because of this one mistake.
It's a pity that people will only see his slip, which took Liverpool's Premier League championship away.
Since his parents had to go to work, Ling Feng had to go to London alone.
In Europe, many young Europeans are accustomed to traveling and traveling alone at the age of eighteen.
Since Ling Feng has been playing football in Leicester City's youth training since he was a child, he rarely goes out with friends and has little opportunity to go out by himself.
In the eyes of Ling Feng’s parents, this PFA awards ceremony is also an opportunity to train their son to be independent.
This year's PFA Awards Ceremony was held as always at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
Because they had just played against Chelsea earlier, the four Red Army Liverpool players who were selected as the best player and the best young player were not present.
Even so, Ling Feng still saw Manchester City's top midfielder Yaya Toure, Southampton's core midfielder Lallana, Chelsea's sharp left wing Hazard, as well as Luke Shaw, Ramsey and other future Premier League stars.
He is a British Championship player, but he seems out of place at the awards ceremony where all the Premier League players are present.
Moreover, except for Hazard, an opponent he had met in the FA Cup, no one greeted him at all.
This reminded Ling Feng of a song by a Hong Kong singer:
"At the age of eighteen, I stood like a gangster"
