Chapter 182: Durability is an important trait for becoming a superstar
Hearing Beckham's "revelation", Ling Feng couldn't help but recall the many offers during Xia Chuang.
At that time, as many as a dozen clubs offered themselves an olive branch.
Real Madrid in La Liga, Juventus in Serie A, PSG and Monaco in Ligue 1, as well as Premier League teams such as Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United.
Among them is Manchester United!
Could it be said that it was Beckham who recommended him to Ferguson and Sir Alex proposed to the team's top management to introduce him? !
After thinking about it carefully, Ling Feng denied this possibility.
In his opinion, after the World Cup, Van Gaal, who had just resigned from the Dutch team, undoubtedly received the support of Manchester United's senior management.
Even if Ferguson still has huge influence at Manchester United, he will not interfere with new coach Louis van Gaal's recruitment plan.
After all, when he retired, he appointed Moyes as his successor.
However, Moyes, who had high hopes for him, did not lead the team to continue its glory, but was dismissed hastily.
Moyes' failure will definitely weaken Ferguson's voice in the club.
So, the reason why Manchester United made an offer to itself in the summer window was either the idea of the club's senior management or Van Gaal's idea.
Or maybe they didn’t want him originally, but seeing everyone bidding for him, Manchester United followed the trend and added one.
After all, "Man Ti".
When you see which player is in high demand in the transfer market, bid higher.
That makes sense!
Thinking in his mind, Ling Feng heard the reporter follow the conversation and continue to ask:
"Ling, Wenger has admitted before that he called you and invited you You joined Arsenal. But you refused."
"What if Sir Alex called you and invited you to join Manchester United?"
Faced with this somewhat offending question, Ling Feng just smiled and gave an ambiguous answer:
"Of course I am willing to play for Sir Alex Ferguson. This is what many professional players dream of. It's a pity. , Sir Alex Ferguson has retired”
The implication is that I am willing to join Manchester United.
However, I am only willing to join Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson!
After that, Ling Feng did not forget to add:
"I am also very grateful to Mr. Arsene Wenger for favoring me. But now I am focused on helping Leicester City achieve good results in the Premier League. As for the future, who knows"
This tact The answer did not offend Wenger.
"By the way, your performance in the Premier League this season is simply breathtaking. Especially in terms of creating opportunities, you are simply a genius."
"According to statistics, your performance this season The average number of key goals and the number of excellent opportunities created ranked first in the league!”
“Moreover, in the last game against Newcastle United, you set a new record, consecutively! Assists in eight Premier League games! ”
In the last round away game against Newcastle United, Ling Feng still sent out an assist.
And this assist increased his league assists to twelve, and also created a new record, which is the Premier League's consecutive assist record!
In the first eight Premier League games of his career, Ling Feng provided assists!
This is also the first player to achieve this feat since the establishment of the Premier League!
Hearing this, even Beckham couldn't help but look sideways.
He has played in the Premier League for nine years, and of course he knows how difficult this record is.
Although he knew that Ling Feng had performed extremely well this season.
However, I didn’t expect that this kid could actually have assists in eight consecutive league games!
This is something that countless superstars in the history of the Premier League have been unable to do!
Ling Feng did it in just his first Premier League season!
"There is no sign of adaptation at all on you. It seems that you have become a star in the top league without any preparation at all. This is incredible."
Face interview In response to the reporter's confusion and surprise, Ling Feng just smiled and said:
"Being able to play in the Premier League has always been my dream. If I really want to talk about preparation, I have been preparing for many years."
“However, to be honest, I am still adapting to the rhythm and intensity of competition in the Premier League.”
“Every player in the Premier League is very capable.”
After talking about the feelings of participating in the Premier League, the interviewer shifted the topic to the national team:
"By the way, Ling, tell us about the first day you were selected for the national team?"
< br>“I remember the night before, it was the assistant coach Mr. Livington who called me and asked me to report to St. George’s Park the next day.”
“Then, the first person I saw at that time My teammate is Gerrard.”
“He was very friendly and took me around. I didn’t expect that I would be able to fight alongside such a big man.”
"Of course, I am very grateful for the coach's trust. I understand very well that it takes a lot of courage to let a rookie who has just been selected for the national team become a starting player in the World Cup."
Before he finished speaking, the little boy beside him Bei couldn't help but took over the conversation and praised:
"I have to say, this decision is the right one. In the World Cup, your performance was simply great, wasn't it?"
To Beckham smiled, and Ling Feng then continued:
"Fortunately, I performed pretty well and didn't let the coach or everyone down."
The entire interview program lasted for thirty minutes.
The main thing is to ask Ling Feng various questions, and Beckham also talks about his own experience.
After all, many fans want to know more about what kind of young man Ling Feng, the rapidly rising star of the British Empire, is.
Is he the boy next door who likes to use social media to interact with fans, or is he the team leader who celebrates wildly on the green field, or is he a super fan with bright eyes next to his idol?
Through this exclusive interview, fans will definitely be able to learn more about it.
A few days later, it was exclusively broadcast on BBC Sports in prime time.
The name of the program is also very intriguing:
"Nineteen-year-old Ling Feng and thirty-nine-year-old Beckham!"
And many Manchester United After watching the interview, fans learned that Beckham had actually recommended Ling Feng to Ferguson!
In the eyes of many Manchester United fans who know football, the current problems of Manchester United are not only unstable defense, but also poor offense.
There are big-name stars such as Rooney, Robin van Persie, Di Maria, Mata, etc., but they are unable to produce beautiful and smooth ground coordination.
If Ling Feng can transfer to Manchester United, plus the three superstars Rooney, Van Persie, and Di Maria, they can form the Red Devils version of the "Fantastic Four"
With Ling Feng If Feng organizes and dispatches the ball in the midfield and passes the ball to several others, the team's offensive firepower will definitely be greatly improved!
Especially the Red Devils captain Rooney, he will definitely be able to score goals!
The two are teammates in the national team, so there is no need to worry about running-in or tacit understanding.
And why don't they transplant the national team combination of Ling Feng and Rooney into the Manchester United team and give full play to their good chemical reaction? !
Since then, many Manchester United fans have gone to the club’s official website and called on the club to sign Ling Feng in the winter window!
However, in response to the fans' calls, the club's top brass curled their lips and rolled their eyes.
Manchester United’s owners, the Glazer family, and Manchester United’s CEO, Ed Woodward, don’t care at all about the team’s lineup or even team results.
They only care about how to operate Manchester United, a money-drawing behemoth, so that they can make more money from the club's stock in business!
In their eyes, the fans are just leeks that have been cut over and over again
What's more, it's not like they haven't tried to sign Ling Feng.
After the World Cup, Ling Feng, who is a resident of his country, was in the spotlight, and many teams wanted to sign him. Manchester United is no exception!
It doesn’t matter whether you play well or not.
What matters is whether it can help the club make money!
The senior management of Manchester United took a fancy to Ling Feng's outstanding personal image and the huge commercial value behind it.
This is also the reason why they will make an offer in the summer window!
But Leicester City directly stated its attitude, saying that Ling Feng was not for sale.
And the player himself doesn’t want to transfer!
So what can they do?
Even if Manchester United offered twice the signing fee and weekly salary of Leicester City, they still could not convince Ling Feng to join.
In desperation, they had no choice but to take Di Maria.
This decision will make the club regret it in the future.
However, it seems now that the effect of improving Manchester United's brand influence is very obvious.
In addition to making many Manchester United fans recognize Ling Feng, this exclusive interview also increased Ling Feng's social media followers a lot.
Most of these new fans are fans and fans of Beckham.
Seeing that Beckham was so optimistic about Ling Feng, they also began to pay attention to this young man who was nicknamed "New Beckham" when he debuted.
. .
October 26th.
Due to the very tight schedule, the Europa League group stage just ended two days ago, and the main players in the team have not yet fully recovered.
Therefore, in order to avoid injuries to the main players, Pearson directly performed a full rotation in this away league game against Swansea.
Ling Feng, Vardy, and Mahrez were given the opportunity to rest and were not included in the game roster.
Cambiaso, Morgan, Schmeichel and other main players also sat on the bench.
Even if you don’t make the squad, you can still go home and rest.
However, Ling Feng and others, who were taking a break, still followed the team to the Liberty Stadium in southern Wales, sitting neatly in the stands to cheer for the team!
Swansea City Club, nicknamed the "Swan Sea", is the first Welsh team to participate in the Premier League.
This season is their fourth season in the Premier League.
Under the leadership of current head coach Rogers, Swansea was promoted to the Premier League, and with its smooth passing and control style, it earned itself a reputation as the "Barcelona of the Premier League".
This season, under the leadership of the former team captain and head coach Monk, this Swansea team has played even more beautiful passing and controlling football!
In this Swansea team, there are many famous Premier League players that Ling Feng is familiar with.
Fabianski, Ki Sung-yung, Shelvey, Ashley Williams, Bony, Gomi.
Among them, Xia Chuang just transferred from Tottenham. Sigurdsson, the "Icelandic sniper", is the core of this Swansea team.
It was this Icelander who helped Swansea take the lead in the first half with a direct free kick at the front of the penalty area!
“English people are shit!”
"Kick these British guys to death!"
"Long live Wales!"
Sitting in the stands behind the visiting team's bench, Ling Feng even wore the woolen hat that Barbara gave him. , and could not stop the incessant insults from the home team fans from getting into their ears.
Obviously, the grievances between Wales and England can be traced back to the history of the Saon regime's suppression of the Scottish uprising.
Ling Feng felt that this was definitely not a personal grudge.
Every English team that comes to the Liberty Stadium will definitely receive such a "warm" welcome!
Amidst the abuse and boos from the home team fans, the Leicester City generals playing away games were like headless flies on the court,
What's more, without Ling Feng , Vardy, Mahrez, Morgan and other main players, Leicester City's substitute lineup is simply vulnerable!
Even if Pearson put up a 442 defensive formation and challenged the two centers Chris Wood and Ulloa, it would not help.
Without Ling Feng and Mahrez passing the ball to the two of them, they couldn't even touch the ball in the frontcourt.
Not to mention heading the ball!
In the end, Leicester City lost 2-0 in the away game.
This was the result after Pearson changed his formation to 451 in the second half and tightened his defense.
Otherwise, it would not be surprising at all to lose four to five to zero.
You know, after the whole game, Swansea's ball possession rate was as high as 60%, and the number of shots was four times that of Leicester City!
This game exposed the team's defensive problems.
Originally, Leicester City's defense, except for Moore, was a group of old men who couldn't run fast and turned slowly.
If you encounter a faster forward, he will be easily penetrated by a through ball or a one-two.
Especially when the team cannot suppress the opponent with a strong offensive, the loopholes in the defense will become more obvious.
Everyone knows that offense wins games and defense wins championships.
However, the defensive system cannot be perfected overnight.
So, under the premise that they cannot strengthen their defense in a short time, if they want to continue to gain a foothold in the Premier League, they can only continue to rely on the team's frontcourt offense and use offense to replace defense!
After witnessing Leicester City’s humiliating defeat without him, Ling Feng also made a decision:
Previously completed the [Premier League Player of the Month] ] achievement, coupled with the [Premier League continuous assist record] achievement, gives him four more free attribute points to add.
And he decided to add all four attribute points to [Physique]!
For now, he can be considered a fish in water in the Premier League, scoring goals and assists.
However, in recent games, opponents may have understood that conventional pressing and double-teaming cannot limit his performance, and they have begun to frequently use violations and foul tactics to target him.
Using pulling, flying tackles, hugs and throws, all kinds of rough movements came one after another.
Even if his muscle gain has made little progress, his ability to fight has also been improved visibly.
However, under the "logging" and fouling by the opponent again and again, he almost didn't finish the game, and his jersey was clean and free of grass clippings.
Fortunately, he is still young and in good physical condition.
However, if he continues like this, he doesn't know when he will be injured.
But this is an inevitable situation, and it is also the hardship he must go through to climb to the top of football!
So, in order to better protect himself and avoid injuries, he added some points to [Physique].
And the attribute of physical fitness cannot be improved through acquired training.
Some people are born with good physical fitness and are less prone to injuries. Some people have to stay in bed for a month or two just for a random accident.
[Physique] The higher the attribute, the less likely he is to be injured, and even the body's recovery speed will be accelerated.
After adding points, his [Physique] attribute reached exactly eighty.
You know, endurance is also an important trait in becoming a superstar!
He doesn’t want to miss any key game of the team due to injury!
