Chapter 210 Who is not a Great British Emperor Star?
The game resumed with Kane's second kick-off.
After falling behind by one goal shortly after the opening, and with the central defender carrying a yellow card, Tottenham reverted to their formation and played more cautiously.
Even so, Tottenham's backcourt continued to be frantically pressed by Leicester City.
And they did not dare to neglect at all.
Either pass the ball to Bentaleb, another defensive midfielder with better foot skills;
Or pass the ball to the two full-backs and let them handle it.
If that doesn’t work, just make a long pass to Harry Kane in front.
It’s impossible to pass the ball to Stambley anyway!
However, judging from the scene, Leicester City suppressed Tottenham at halftime.
However, compared to Vardy, who is more mobile, Ulloa is much slower.
This caused a certain rhythm out of sync in the pressing circle of the front four.
It also resulted in Tottenham playing the ball from the backcourt, which was not as difficult as imagined.
Moreover, Tottenham's two full-backs, Danny Rose and Kyle Walker, are both fast and capable of advancing.
The two opposing wingers of Leicester City, Lingard and Mahrez, are not fast wingers.
No, Tottenham right back Walker received a pass from center back Fazio, and with a simple soup, he broke out from Lingard's pressure!
“Beautiful push!”
“Walker easily broke through Lingard’s pressure!”
“The Three Lions right winger missed the opportunity due to injury After participating in the World Cup, he just came back last month and has made a huge contribution to the team's recent excellent record."
"It is worth mentioning that Walker was the fastest runner in the Premier League last season. A fast player. And Ling Feng, the No. 7 player from Leicester City, is the fastest player this season! ”
"Will these two amazingly fast horses perform a very fast sprint for us?"
"Let's wait and see"
After passing Lingard, Walker continued on the path The right side advanced all the way, and then passed a kick to Eriksen who came to meet in the middle.
This 22-year-old talented Danish midfielder is Tottenham's top scorer in the league.
This season, he has scored six goals for Tottenham in the Premier League!
Moreover, he is also the core organization of this Tottenham team in the frontcourt. His vision and ball distribution are the indispensable soul of this Tottenham team.
Therefore, in preparation for the game, Pearson repeatedly stressed the huge threat of Eriksen and told the two midfielders not to let Eriksen easily take the ball and organize.
However, the difference in player strength is here, which does not mean that defense can be defended.
Faced with Andy King’s personal marking behind him, Eriksson’s feet were outside. He knocked the ball with the instep of his foot and turned around as the ball changed its trajectory.
The entire extraordinary connection is completed in one go!
Andy Kim didn't even have time to reach out and pull him away before he was wiped clean.
After passing by, he took two steps forward. Seeing that no one on the back line stepped forward to stop him, he shot a cold arrow directly from the top of the penalty area!
With a bang, the ball shot out!
This long-range shot was powerful and heavy, and it really tested Leicester City’s second goalkeeper Ben Hamer.
Fortunately, he concentrated and hit the ball with both fists in time,
The ball popped up and was immediately cleared out of the dangerous area by the captain of the central defender, Morgan.
The fans from both sides in the stadium applauded this attack and defense
As time passed, Tottenham players gradually became familiar with the intensity of Leicester City's pressing.
Coupled with Eriksen's repeated retreat to the midfielder to receive the ball, Tottenham's backcourt play has become smoother.
Tottenham's tactical play relies largely on wing attacks.
Utilize the excellent ability of the two full-backs to assist, and then form a local advantage in the frontcourt to play more and less, and then create opportunities for crosses from the two wings.
In the end it was Kane who was in great form to solve the problem!
In the next ten minutes, Tottenham focused their offensive on the right, taking turns attacking the left back Schlupp.
Walker and Lamela stepped in, and Eriksson wandered to the right. They repeatedly passed to find Kane in the center.
Fortunately, Blue Fox captain Morgan stayed close to the Tottenham starlet and used his hands up and down to prevent him from completing the shot so easily.
Even so, he scored three times.
One of the headers was very threatening, hitting the crossbar and almost equalizing the score.
The budding Kane has initially shown his intimidating power in the penalty area.
Although he is not fast.
But the confrontation ability, sense of smell in front of the goal and running position are all outstanding to the naked eye.
Surrounded by two tough men, Morgan and Vasilevskiy, he was still able to find opportunities to take action!
Leicester City, which has the home advantage, also made several threatening combinations in the frontcourt.
Compared to powerful teams such as Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea, Tottenham's midfielders are simply a disaster!
Stanbully is the main defender and Bentaleb is the main attacker. In theory, they are a complementary combination.
However, the key is that the two of them cannot limit Ling Feng's performance!
And waist weakness is also the main factor in Tottenham's unstable record this season.
In Tottenham's formation, the personnel reserves at the defensive midfielder position are overcrowded.
Not counting Stambley and Bentaleb who started this game, there are also Moussa Dembele, Paulinho, Mason and Capoue off the field.
So far, Pochettino has tried many defensive midfielder combinations.
However, neither Paulinho, Capoue, nor Stambouli on the court now can satisfy Pochettino.
Dembele and Mason are two players who, apart from Bentaleb, have performed reasonably well in the defensive midfield position this season.
But because Dembele was injured and Mason had just played the entire game in the last game, Pochettino chose to let Stambouli, who has good defensive ability, start the game.
Unfortunately, Stambley cheated his teammate Fazio because of his lack of concentration when he first came on, and indirectly allowed his opponent to score a goal.
In the one-on-one confrontation to defend Ling Feng, he was like a headless fly, being tossed around by Ling Feng.
Seeing Ling Feng asking for everything in the middle and repeatedly passing threatening balls, Pochettino's expression on the sidelines became more and more serious, his brows furrowed.
Although Ulloa is slow and is being closely watched by Vertonghen.
However, his ability to play with his back still created long-range shooting opportunities for Ling Feng and Mahrez.
If not for Lloris's bravery, he made many saves and kept the ball away.
Tottenham may have lost the goal again in the first half
Pochettino has made up his mind to replace Stambouli immediately during the halftime break!
. . .
At the 28th minute of the game, the ball possession ratio between the two sides was six to four, and the shot ratio was eight to five.
On the scene, Leicester City has a certain advantage. Just when everyone thought that Leicester City would turn its advantage into goals sooner or later, a sudden change occurred:
It started to drizzle in the sky!
Neither the players on the field nor the fans in the stands were surprised at all.
Britain in winter is a time of continuous rain.
The sun will be punched down by the dark clouds at any time, and then hide back home crying, not daring to come out again.
Many fans in the stands put on raincoats prepared in advance.
As for the players who were unable to wear raincoats on the field, they could only let the cold raindrops beat on their bodies wantonly.
Moreover, this sudden rain turned from a gentle drizzle to a downpour in an instant!
However, the fierce competition was not extinguished by the rain, but became even more exciting!
The pace of both sides accelerated, and both seemed to give up on midfield organization, quickly passing through the midfield and launching attacks from the wings.
In the thirty-fourth minute of the game, the situation on the field changed again!
Walker, who advanced the ball to the center line, looked up and observed that the entire Leicester City formation was moving towards him.
There was a huge gap near Chadley on the left.
So, without hesitation, he directly passed the ball diagonally and hit winger Chadli on the left.
Belgian international Chadli released his chest, raised his foot and stopped, then he stopped the long pass.
Even if right back Danny Simpson quickly made up for it, there was still a lot of room for Chadli to break through.
The latter didn't hesitate, just dribbled the ball forward, then accelerated in disguise, and rushed along the side to the baseline!
"Beautiful pass!"
"Chadley tore a hole in the defense on the left wing."
Then, he looked up at the center, looking for an opportunity to cross.
At the same time, Morgan in the middle glanced back.
He found that Kane next to him was trying to grab the forward point, so he rushed forward without hesitation, trying to get between Kane and the cross.
However, the moment he turned his head, Kane suddenly stopped his foot and stabbed directly behind him!
In a flash of lightning, Chadley saw Kane's movement and directly sent a cross with his left foot.
However, when Leicester City's defense was caught off guard, the cross was not a high ball or a low ball, but a half-high ball!
The arc drawn just happened to bypass Morgan's outstretched right foot at the front point and came into the small penalty area.
Kane, who reached the six-yard area, showed his instinct as a natural shooter. He raised his right leg and moved forward with the inside of his foot!
There was a bang, a shot so close that Leicester City goalkeeper Hamer had no time to react.
I just subconsciously opened my arms, but it couldn't stop the ball from flying into the goal from my armpits!
The next second, the visiting team fans in the stands suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers!
“The ball went in!!!”
“A textbook combination of wing and center!”
"Harry Kane!"
"This Tottenham star continued his recent hot form in the league, scoring goals in three consecutive league games!"
Looking at the open double Kane, who ran to celebrate in front of the visiting team's fans, had a calm expression on his face, but he gave Kane a thumbs up in his heart.
He is indeed the only superstar to lead England after Rooney!
Although this goal looks very simple.
Just one pass and one shot, and the ball went into the goal.
However, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.
A keen sense of touch in front of goal, world-class running, and clean finishing.
This is Harry Kane who will compete for the world's top striker in the future!
In the past ten years or so in British football, many so-called "British stars" have been born
These players with local residents are touted by the media as the future of English football.
These talented young people should have a bright future, and may even make great achievements in the Three Lions.
However, the development of most people is far below the outside world's expectations.
The "British Stars" in the early years included Manchester City's Richards and Rodwell, Arsenal's Wilshere, Theo Walcott and others.
In the future, it will be Kane, Sterling, Rashford, Arnold, Mount, Foden and others.
It is worth mentioning that "Lin Huang", who is currently on loan to Leicester City, will also be dubbed the "British Emperor Star" by fans in the future.
Of course, for Lingard, this name means more ridicule than recognition.
In Ling Feng's view, among the many "Great British Emperor Stars", there is only one player who can best bear the title of "Great British Emperor Star".
That’s Tottenham’s new striker, Harry Kane, who just scored a goal!
From the moment he made his mark on his debut this season until the time when Ling Feng crossed over, Kane's career has been steady and improving.
From a "short-lived" White Hart Lane star to the "uncrowned king" Tottenham Hotspur's all-time goal recorder, he has performed like a superstar every season!
It can be said that he is a well-deserved British Emperor Star!
Thinking of this, Ling Feng suddenly curled his lips.
However, who is not a British Emperor Star?
After his sudden emergence last season, Ling Feng was also touted by the media as the "British Emperor Star"
It was even more exaggerated than when many media touted Wilshere as "the core of the Three Lions' midfield for the next ten years."
In other words, this league match between Leicester City and Tottenham can be said to be a head-on showdown between the British stars!
After Ling Feng took the lead in sending an assist to help the team take the lead, Kane was not to be outdone and scored a goal to equalize the score.
Many England fans in front of the TV are already imagining that if Kane enters the national team and forms a partner with Ling Feng, the picture will not be too beautiful!
At this moment, the on-site cameras were also focused on the Three Lions U21 head coach "Southgate" Southgate in a suit and tie in the stands!
"Southgate also came to the scene today. He was obviously inspecting the status of international players such as Ling Feng and Walker for Mr. Hodgson."
"Of course, the objects of his inspection must include his own pride in the U21 Disciple Kane. With the 21-year-old's fiery state, perhaps we will soon be able to see him fighting side by side with Ling Feng."
The commentator was not wrong.
Southgate came to the King Power Stadium during this trip. Apart from Walker, who has returned from injury, the key target of his inspection is naturally Harry Kane, who has been very popular recently!
As for Ling Feng, there is no need for him to investigate at all.
With this young man's indispensable role and status in this Three Lions team now, unless he is injured.
Otherwise, even if he has been in poor form recently and has not scored goals or assists, Hodgson will not hesitate to call him into the national team roster!
You know, if Ling Feng does not play, who will pass threatening balls and deliver cannonballs to forwards such as Kane, Vardy, Sturridge, and Welbeck?
Rely on Sterling?
Stop being ridiculous!
