Chapter 218 Ferguson shook his head after reading this [Please subscribe]
“Huha. Huha”
Looking at Maguire who was sweating profusely, he was breathing heavily and using Still staring intently at his feet, Ling Feng suddenly stepped on the ball and asked:
"Hey, Harry, do you need to take a rest?"
Hearing this , Maguire just wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded firmly:
"No, I can still persist!"
In football one-on-one duels, defense consumes far more energy than offense.
However, so far, Maguire's sparring performance has satisfied Ling Feng.
Although Maguire can't keep up with his speed and explosion.
However, his defense and positioning awareness, coupled with his strong body, can still put a certain amount of defensive pressure on Ling Feng.
In order to hone his dribbling skills, Ling Feng did not use his soup-making method, but chose to use rhythm changes to get past Maguire.
At the beginning, out of ten defensive attempts, Maguire was able to successfully block his position and steal the ball two or three times.
However, as he gradually became familiar with Lingfeng's dribbling routine, Ma Datou also noticed that he almost only dribbled with his right foot, and rarely used his back foot.
In other words, he only needs to guard Ling Feng's right foot and that's it!
As a result, his defensive success rate has indeed greatly increased.
Ling Feng, who noticed this, had no choice but to increase the frequency of dribbling with his left foot.
However, in the confrontation with Maguire, reverse-footed dribbling often makes some mistakes, resulting in conceding the ball.
However, Ling Feng didn’t care.
With Maguire as his sparring partner, if he doesn’t practice reverse footing at this time, what are he waiting for? !
In the end, the extra training lasted for an hour and a half, and the two of them were so tired that they were sweating profusely before they ended the friendly competition.
Picking up the water bottle and pouring a sip of water into his mouth, Maguire suddenly asked: "Ling, you are obviously so fast, why don't you just use your speed to pass me?"
"This is what I have been practicing for." Purpose!"
"Your back foot is not very good, you need to practice more."
"Hmm, when you are defending, try not to stretch your legs. I know your legs. "Long"
While talking, the two pointed out each other's shortcomings exposed in offense (defense), and then discussed how to improve.
It has to be said that Maguire's game reading ability and football intelligence displayed in one-on-one defense made Ling Feng's eyes shine.
It is indeed a British aircraft carrier that can establish itself in the Premier League giants and the Three Lions in the future!
In Ling Feng’s view, Maguire’s current defensive awareness, concentration and air defense ability are even better than those of Moore, Wasilevskiy, Morgan and other central defenders in the Blue Fox formation. Be stronger!
The center back position requires a lot of games to accumulate experience before you can become comfortable.
While Maguire's body and skills are already at a certain level, all he lacks is some game experience.
If you can get more playing time and gradually become the main force, your strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds!
Of course, Ling Feng has no say in whether he can have more playing time.
Maguire needs to use his attitude and performance in training to convince the head coach to give him playing time.
The Blue Fox currently has sufficient reserves at the central defender position, including Morgan, Huth, Moore, Wasilevskiy, Upson and Maguire!
The central defender partnership of Morgan and Huth performed well in the last game,
Vasilevskiy is injured and will miss four to six weeks.
Former England player Upson, who returned from the summer window without a visa, performed so poorly that he basically sat on the bench.
In other words, in the next more than a month, Moore and Maguire will become the third and fourth central defender choices.
Considering the two-front battle between the league and the Europa League, Maguire will definitely be able to get some playing time!
If he can perform well in the game, maybe Maguire will have a chance to stay in Leicester City.
In that case, it will be good news for Maguire and Leicester City!
. . .
【Ding dong! 】
【Achievement "Achievements of over 10 million social media fans" have been achieved】
【Achievement Rating: A】
[Achievement reward: Injury recovery card! 】
When the two of them finished their extra training and returned to the locker room covered in sweat, Ling Feng heard a warm reminder from the system in his mind!
Huh?
Have millions of fans? !
He was not in a hurry to confirm. Instead, he took out his mobile phone after taking a hot bath and changing clothes.
The total number of fans on his three major social platforms, Twitter, Facebook, and INS, finally exceeded 10 million!
Enter the [Character Panel] and open the [Item Bar]. Next to the [Reverse Injury Card], Ling Feng saw another card with a faint white light:
[Items] Name: Injury Recovery Card]
[Efficacy of the prop: It can speed up the recovery time of any injury! Eliminate all hidden dangers of old injuries at the same time! 】
Speed up the recovery time of any injury?
Eliminate all hidden dangers of old injuries?
After pondering the meaning of these two sentences, Ling Feng realized the role of this card.
In other words, with this card, if he does encounter any injury, he can recover faster!
Of course, he would be reluctant to use this hard-earned [Injury Recovery Card] for minor injuries.
Before certain key games, if he suffered serious injuries , you can use this card to make your comeback early!
I just don’t know the effect of this card, how much does it speed it up?
If I had to be injured for three months.
But after using the [Injury Recovery Card], I became injured for two months, which doesn’t make much sense at all!
Considering that this is an achievement reward that requires [tens of millions of fans], the effect should be more than that.
Ling Feng is not in a hurry.
When he uses this card one day, the answer will naturally be revealed;
In other words, he hopes that he will never need this [Injury Recovery Card].
For Maguire's loan signing and his achievement of millions of fans on social media are just small episodes in life.
As January fades away, there is less and less time left for major clubs to make transfer operations.
Some club managers are still studying the transfer market anxiously, looking for suitable signing targets;
Some club managers are already lying comfortably in bed, watching the turmoil in the transfer market with a smile.
Leicester City, which operates on a shoestring, is the latter!
Originally, Pearson also wanted to win over Andrey Kramaric, the Croatian international player who plays in Rijeka, to strengthen the striker.
Krijeka was not willing to lose the team's top scorer in the winter window, so he paid a high price of 10 million pounds for Kramaric.
Considering that the team’s offensive system is stable and its firepower is fierce.
Moreover, the three forwards of Vardy, Ulloa and Wood are enough, and Kramaric's price is too expensive.
Finally, after careful consideration, Pearson gave up on the transfer.
Therefore, after Maguire joined on loan, Leicester City Club also publicly announced that this season’s winter window signings have come to an end!
. . .
On the last day of the winter window, the Premier League resumes war! In the twenty-third round, Leicester City will go to Manchester, to the Theater of Dreams that carries the glory and glory of the Red Devils, to challenge Manchester United, which is at a trough!
This is also the second contest between the two sides this season.
This league match at Old Trafford has attracted much attention and was also scheduled to be played at local prime time.
For Manchester United players and fans, the 5-3 match at the King Power Stadium in the fifth round of the Premier League last September is still fresh in their memories.
Back at home this time, they are determined to take revenge!
Moreover, Leicester City is also their direct competitor for the fourth place.
So, Van Gaal gave a death order to the Manchester United players, this game must be won!
For Leicester City, the name of Old Trafford Stadium is very popular.
Now, they actually have the opportunity to compete on such a great stage. Isn’t this a dream fulfilled? !
"Glory, glory, ManUnited"
Glory, glory belongs to Manchester United.
“Glory, glory, ManUnited”
Glory, glory belongs to Manchester United.
“Glory, glory, ManUnited”
Glory, glory belongs to Manchester United.
"Andtheredsgomarchingon"
The Red Devils march forward bravely!
When the song "Glory Belongs to Manchester United" echoed throughout the Old Trafford Stadium, Ling Feng, who came to the Dream Theater for the first time, felt extremely shocked.
Looking around, the stands are filled with bright red!
Thousands of Blue Fox fans could only huddle in the visiting team's stands, which could not be called spacious, waving scarves and flags in their hands to cheer for their team.
Once upon a time, as a fan, I imagined many times that I would come to Old Trafford to watch football.
Now, not only have I arrived at Old Trafford, I have also become a performer at this stadium.
This feeling of a dream coming true is simply indescribable.
However, he came here today not just to check in at the Dream Theater.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng’s eyes suddenly became sharp!
"Okay, the players from both sides are entering, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."
With Schmeichel returning from injury, Leicester City has put out its strongest lineup!
Goalkeeper: Schmeichel
Defense: Schlupp, Huth, Morgan, Simpson
Defensive midfielder partner: Drinkwater and Camby Yasuo
Attacking midfielder: Ling Feng
Left and right wingers: Lingard and Mahrez
Single forward: Vardy!
“Center defender Huth, who was on loan from Stoke City, continued to get the opportunity to start after his outstanding performance in the last game.”
“On the Manchester United side, Several position adjustments have been made”
In this game, Manchester United's four superstars Rooney, Robin van Persie, Falcao and Di Maria still appeared together.
And the Manchester United prodigy "Jia Baoyu" Januzaj, who emerged last season, got the opportunity to start for a long time.
It is worth mentioning that in the first round of the contest between the two sides, young player Blackett was in poor condition and proved that his strength was not up to the Premier League level, so he was abandoned by Van Gaal.
Compared with the defense line in the first round, in addition to Rojo, three positions have been adjusted.
Luke Shaw, Phil Jones, and Valencia got the starting opportunity.
The goalkeeper is still the most stable part of Manchester United, Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea!
"Today, Sir Alex Ferguson still came to the Dream Theater to watch the game live"
With the commentator's words, the live camera focused on the smiling man sitting in the stands A cute old man with a red nose.
Since retiring, Ferguson has missed almost every Manchester United home game.
In the hearts of all Manchester United fans, this soul of the club will definitely be missed.
Many fans will have this idea from time to time:
How great would it be if this old Scottish man did not sit in the stands as a special spectator, but sat on the coaching bench below< br>
“With the club’s legendary coach Sir Alex Ferguson watching the game, the boys of Manchester United will definitely face it with the most positive attitude.”
“And the most discussed thing before the game is naturally It’s about whether Ling Feng can lead the Blue Foxes to defeat the Red Devils again!”
“This golden boy who is under twenty years old contributed an amazing performance with one goal and two assists against Manchester United last time, dominating the entire team! game"
"And this time when we come to Dream Theater, will we witness a battle?"
"Let's wait and see!"
Beep~~~
With the referee's whistle, the highlight of the 23rd round of the Premier League, Manchester United VS Leicester City, officially started!
Manchester United, which has the home court advantage, took the initiative as soon as the kick-off started.
Facing Leicester City's possession of the ball, several superstars in the frontcourt immediately stepped forward to press.
The Blue Fox players clearly felt that compared to the first round of the match, the enthusiasm of the four superstars in the frontcourt was much better.
Among them, Januzaj, who got the chance to start, is the most inconspicuous one in Manchester United's frontcourt, but he is indeed the most active!
This season, under Van Gaal, although he did not get as many starting opportunities as last season.
However, his energy and skills on the court still make the fans shine.
Perhaps it was his first time to play football at Old Trafford, and he was a little nervous. He was being pressed, and wanted to send a through pass to Lingard on the left.
However, the pass was not strong enough and was directly intercepted by Valencia who was attacking.
Valencia, one of the four dark kings of Manchester United, dribbled the ball forward directly along the right wing. Then, after observing Januzaj's forward penetration, he immediately sent a shot directly behind him. Stuff!
Januzaj, wearing Giggs’ legendary number 11, received the ball from the rib space between Morgan and Schlupp.
The next second, he ignored Rooney's call in the middle and Falcao's hand raise from far away. He moved his left foot and dribbled the ball down!
This dribbling immediately attracted Morgan to defend.
At the same time, the space in the middle of Leicester City's penalty area became extremely empty!
At this time, as long as Januzaj raises his head, observes and passes the ball to the center, Van Persie or Rooney in the back can complete the goal without interference!
However, he did not raise his head, as if he could only see the ball at his feet and the few meters in front of him.
I saw him buckle with his left foot, take two steps towards the goal, and then swing his leg directly to shoot before being surrounded.
However, Schmeichel had already blocked the near corner of the goal and punched the ball out with both hands, resolving this near-miss attack.
Seeing Januzaj's actions, not only many fans lamented, but also Ferguson, who was watching the game in the stands, shook his head slightly.
After watching so many games During the Manchester United game, Ferguson had long seen that the potential of this Belgian young man was just that.
Compared to Ling Feng, who is also only 19 years old, Januzaj's foot skills may be more delicate.
However, his golf IQ is far behind Ling Feng
