Chapter 161 Today is different from the past, passing shots and making great achievements! [Please subscribe]
After defeating Switzerland in Basel, the Three Lions ended this issue of the national team mission with joy and laughter.
The generals took a special plane back to England and went back to their respective homes.
Ling Feng, who participated in the national team competition, got a rare day off.
Starting from August 16th, in just four weeks, he participated in three league games and two national team games.
Although the schedule is not too tight, I don’t feel tired. However, proper relaxation is necessary
While Ling Feng was sitting on the sofa in his living room, scrolling through social media, a paralyzed Sophia put together a simple tuna salad. Put it on the coffee table:
"Boss, your tuna salad"
As his life assistant, Sofia not only drove him to and from him from time to time, arranged his daily schedule, and taught him In addition to speaking Spanish, he will also make some simple salads for him,
"Thank you."
After picking up the plate, Ling Feng grabbed a fork, picked up a piece of boiled tuna, and put it into his mouth.
The tuna tastes pretty good with a little black peppercorns added.
While he was enjoying his lunch, the female assistant suddenly said:
"Boss, I have something to talk to you about."
" You said.”
"I hope you can hire another private chef instead of asking me to cook for you."
As soon as these words came out, Ling Feng was a little unexpected and showed a puzzled expression. :
“Why do you say that suddenly?”
“First of all, I am your assistant and I should help you arrange all the matters in your daily life. However, I know nothing about nutrition, and I don’t know anything about nutrition. I will provide you with a reasonable meal"
"I only hope to use my professional knowledge to help you, but I can't help you in this regard."
As a professional player who engages in high-intensity sports, he consumes a lot of energy every day and requires a large amount of nutrition.
Also, you must not be casual when it comes to diet!
The role of the personal chef is to ensure that he is well fed and healthy in his daily life after leaving the team base.
In this way, you can maintain a healthy body and be able to give 100% to the game on the court!
Many strictly self-disciplined stars have their own personal chefs.
Ling Feng is now in the muscle-building period, and he must ensure adequate nutrition while slowly increasing his muscles.
It was precisely because her cooking skills could not help Ling Feng that Sophia made this proposal.
Otherwise, based on Ling Feng’s understanding of her, he would not care whether he held multiple positions.
Hearing Sophia’s explanation, Ling Feng also understood why she This matter will be brought up suddenly.
Actually, he has also considered this issue.
In the team base, there are team chefs who can prepare reasonable meals for them.
However, after returning home, he usually eats the food cooked by his mother, Julia.
Although Julia's cooking skills are very good, all the dishes she cooks are what he likes to eat.
However, for professional players who need to strictly control their weight and have balanced nutrition, there are too many things that they cannot eat.
What's more, if he has a girlfriend in the future and plans to move out, he can't let Julia come over to cook for him every day.
He is him, his mother is his mother, and Julia has her own work and life, not a servant who revolves around him.
Thinking of this, Ling Feng put down the plate and nodded: "What you said makes sense. But, I don't know any chef."
"Don't worry, I will do it for you. Find a few candidates and let them cook for you, and then you can see which one you like."
"Of course, you have to pay their salary."
< br>“That’s for sure!”
"By the way, the bodyguard I told you about last time, would you like to help you select a few candidates for interviews?"
"That's fine."
The personal chef is to ensure that he of healthy eating. The bodyguards ensure his personal health.
Now he is an England international and a millionaire.
If there is any unsightly person targeting him, having a bodyguard with a round waist and thick arms can save unnecessary trouble.
Seeing Ling Feng nod, Sophia took out a notebook directly from her trouser pocket. While adding these two items to the small notebook, she did not forget to say:
"By the way, I bought No. 18 I have sent the flight ticket from Warsaw to Milan in the morning and arranged the hotel for you to stay in. Please take a look and tell me if there is anything you need to change."
September 10th. On the 7th, Leicester City will travel to Warsaw, Poland to participate in the first round of the Europa League group stage.
Ling Feng had previously promised Kendall that he would go to Milan to watch her catwalk.
So, he planned to use the day off after the competition to go to Milan, the "fashion capital", to experience the legendary Fashion Week!
The next day, when Ling Feng returned to the club to report, he received good news from the club staff:
The candidate list for August’s Premier League Coach and Player of the Month is out!
Among the candidates for the best coach, there are the "madman" Mourinho of Chelsea, the favorite to win the championship, Monk, the young coach who led Swansea to three consecutive victories, and Aston who won two games and drew one. Villa coach Lambert, and coach Pearson who led newly promoted Leicester City to perform well.
The candidate list for the best player includes the popular striker Costa, who scored four goals in three rounds, the Blues' new offensive engine Cesc Fabregas, who scored two goals and one assist in three rounds. Players such as Liverpool wing killer Sterling and Swansea's "Icelandic sniper" Sigurdsson.
Leicester City core Ling Feng, who contributed one goal and five assists in three rounds, also entered the candidate list with his outstanding performance.
In the opinion of many fans and football experts, the winner of August's Best Coach will be born from Chelsea's Mourinho and Swansea's Monk.
The former led Chelsea's luxurious lineup to three consecutive victories, which did not surprise anyone.
The latter led Swansea, a mid-table team, to win the first three consecutive victories, which is even more valuable!
The August Player of the Year award is likely to be awarded to one of Costa, Cesc Fabregas and Ling Feng.
Chelsea's two major new players are the absolute contributors to Chelsea's three consecutive victories.
However, the newly promoted team, which has a relatively weak lineup, has delivered an explosive record of one goal and five assists, which adds a lot of points to Ling Feng's performance.
Ling Feng takes it very lightly when it comes to his inclusion in the candidate list for the Premier League Player of the Month.
It's just Player of the Month, not the Ballon d'Or.
If you can’t get it this month, then keep working hard next month.
As long as he performs well every month, this award will be his own sooner or later!
Until the day before the fourth round of the Premier League, the Premier League officially announced the best coaches and players for August, as well as the candidates for the best lineup:
Scored four goals and helped the team win three consecutive victories. Blues striker Costa defeated Ling Feng, Xiaofa, Sigurdsson and others to win the August Player of the Year award!
The 35-year-old Swansea coach Monk defeated Mourinho and won the best coach in August!
Although he missed his first Premier League Player of the Month award. However, Ling Feng was still selected for the best team in August.
This also allowed him to complete the achievement of [Premier League Team of the Month] and receive a system reward of some free attribute points.
It can be considered a small comfort.
. . .
September 13th.
After more than eight months, Ling Feng once again accompanied the team to Stoke-on-Trent.
The Britannia Stadium can be regarded as the place where he made his debut.
Thinking back to the beginning, before he stepped onto the Britannia Stadium, he was just a youth team player who had just been promoted to the first team.
Now, he has become the absolute core and team leader of Leicester City!
At that time, it was with Ling Feng's two assists against the Premier League team Stoke City in the FA Cup that the team achieved a comeback and advanced to the next round.
It was precisely because of his emergence that Leicester City had the amazing feat of defeating Premier League teams all the way and finally winning the championship!
However, compared to the first meeting between the two sides, Lingfeng and Leicester City are no longer what they used to be
Stoke City has also made key positions compared to last season. Reinforcement.
Especially on the front line, they waived Hannover 96 forward Diouf, bought La Masia prodigy Bojan from Barcelona, and loaned Nigerian winger Moses from Chelsea.
Coupled with Anautovic, Shawcross, Crouch and other famous players in the formation, Stoke City is definitely not an easy target.
In the last round of competition, they also relied on their excellent defense to upset Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
This is at home again.
Therefore, many football commentators and reporters have predicted that Leicester City is likely to fail.
There is also bad news for Leicester City who are playing away from home.
That is, after returning from the national team match day, the team's number one goalkeeper Schmeichel suffered from muscle fatigue.
For safety reasons, he did not follow the team to the away game, but stayed in Leicester City to rest.
In this game, Pearson used the 26-year-old second goalkeeper Ben Hamer as the starting goalkeeper.
In addition to being forced to make adjustments to the goalkeeper position, Pearson also made a major rotation of the starting lineup:
Konoket replaced Mahrez, Albrighton replaced Linga Germany, became the starting winger on the left and right sides.
Vardy takes a rest, and Argentina center Ulloa gets his first league start.
In the midfield, Andy King and Matty James also became the starters for this game.
The six players in the midfield and frontcourt, except for Ling Feng who is still starting, have all been changed!
The defense line remains unchanged with four players.
Although half of the lineup has been rotated.
However, after the opening, it was the Blue Fox who took the initiative on the court!
As the core of the team's frontcourt, Pearson gave Ling Feng the greatest degree of freedom.
He is more like a free man in the frontcourt than an attacking midfielder who mainly attacks the center.
He can freely change positions at any time according to the situation on the field, the strength and position of the opponent's players.
Only ten minutes into the game, Ling Feng cruised to the right, inserted into the ribs between Stoke City's center back and full back, received a direct pass from Conoket, and directed the ball towards the penalty area without stopping. He sent in a beautiful arcing pass.
The ball just passed the front point of Stoke City captain Shawcross, who was afraid to stretch his feet, and fell in front of Ulloa, who was sandwiched between two central defenders
And the Argentinian was The reaction in front of the goal was very fast. He just raised his leg and knocked the ball into the goal guarded by Begovic!
"The ball has been scored!!!"
"The goal was scored by No. 23, Leonardo~~Ulloa!"
"The Argentinian scored in his first league start His first goal for joining Leicester City!”
After scoring the goal, Ulloa rushed directly to the stands where the fans of the visiting team were, and raised his hand from bottom to top, like a hero to the audience. Salute to the stage performers in general.
This novel celebration also made the fans of the visiting team extremely excited and shouted Ulloa's name one after another.
After taking the lead, Leicester City did not slow down the pace of the attack, but continued to launch wave after wave of fierce attacks on Stoke City's defense!
Perhaps it is because the rotation players in the midfield and frontcourt are all starting in the league for the first time, and they are holding back a lot of energy and want to perform well to the head coach and fans.
Whether it is offense or defense, Albrighton and Conoket are working very hard on the court, and they can be seen running everywhere.
Coupled with Ling Feng’s shouts from time to time on the court, Leicester City successfully turned the away team and suppressed the home team at the Britannia Stadium!
Facing Leicester City's fierce offensive, Stoke City's players also looked at each other, a little confused.
What's going on?
The last time they played against Manchester City, they were beaten like this.
But, Manchester City is Manchester City, so what the hell is Leicester City? !
However, they never imagined that the tactics of Leicester City this season and Leicester City last season have undergone earth-shaking changes!
Last season, facing Stoke City, Leicester City could only rely on defensive counterattacks and Ling Feng's superb passing to reverse the game.
But now, when Leicester City came to their home court, they directly pressed forward with full formation and put on a fierce attack posture? !
What shocked the Stoke City players the most was Ling Feng’s huge changes!
Eight months ago, Ling Feng was still a young rookie who only relied on passing and running to influence the game;
Eight months later, his passing is still sharp, no matter where he passes it where.
Even speed, strength, golf intelligence, and even all-round abilities such as attacking the goal have improved visibly!
Moreover, he seemed extremely excited to face Stoke City, his first opponent in his career!
In the 36th minute of the game, Stoke City's defense had more space due to pressing out of the formation and attacking Leicester City.
After receiving a pass from Andy King, Albrighton on the left strode forward along the side, and then without hesitation he crossed to find Ulloa in the center.
The Argentinian, who had a firm foothold in the penalty area, still maintained his balance under the tug of Shawcross, shook his head and pushed the ball back.
At the same time, Ling Feng got rid of the entanglement of the midfielder and accelerated to the top of the penalty area.
Looking at the ball that had not yet hit the ground, Ling Feng had an idea and subconsciously chose to push with his legs!
For fear of hitting the ball into the stands, he did not shoot with all his strength, but pushed the ball down as much as possible.
With the sound of "bang", the ball turned into a shell and shot out.
With the double blessing of [Volley] attribute and [Putter Master], this shot has both ball speed and angle, and it hits the upper right corner of the goal.
Even if Begovic flew to make a save, he could not touch the ball.
Suddenly, the net shook, and the visiting team fans instantly burst into amazing cheers!
“Wow!”
“Ling Feng scored his second goal of the game and his second goal in the league!”
“This The volley shot with his foot is definitely a strong contender for the best goal in this round of the league!"
After scoring the goal, Ling Feng just raised his arms calmly, and then showed his victory! The bright smile of the person
