Chapter 220 How can you not love the Premier League? !
“Good shot!”
“Ling! Go for it!”
“Let them see how good you are!”
In Blue Fox fans Amid the cheers of everyone, Ling Feng drove the ball forward.
Although his speed with the ball is not very fast,
but he keeps his chest and head raised, giving him a feeling of striding like a meteor.
Moreover, compared to the previous stiffness, the entire dribbling movement has become much smoother.
Seeing this, Pearson on the sidelines couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked Walsh beside him:
"Steve, have you noticed what happened to Ling's dribbling? Feeling smoother than before?”
Hearing this, Walsh smiled happily and responded meaningfully:
"This is all the sweat shed on the training ground."
Seeing Ling Feng coming towards him , Mahrez also quickly moved to the center, making way for the space on the right, allowing him to gallop!
He passed the halfway line and entered Manchester United's half. He was greeted head-on by his national team teammate and roommate "Fat Shaw" Luke Shaw.
Facing Ling Feng’s advance, Luke Xiao looked serious, as if facing a formidable enemy.
He may be the one who knows Ling Feng best among all Manchester United players.
He even knows whether Ling Feng snores when sleeping and what underwear he likes to wear!
When the national team is conducting intra-team training and confrontation, as a substitute left back, he often has to face off against Ling Feng.
So, Luke Xiao knew very well that as long as he was not careful for a moment, Ling Feng would pass him by without mercy!
Once Ling Feng passes him, he will never be able to catch up with Ling Feng.
Therefore, he has been mentally prepared that "even if the ball passes, the person cannot pass"!
However, knowing and doing it are completely different things!
Moreover, he knows Ling Feng well, so why not Ling Feng? !
Under normal circumstances, he is right-footed and walks from the outside when making soup, making it easier to connect with the next dribbling action.
Seeing Luke Shaw's position, he also tends to defend his outside line.
Therefore, this time he chose to cook the soup from the inside!
A swaying of the shoulders back made Luke Xiao think that he was going to go outside and slightly shift his body's center of gravity.
Then the inside of his right foot moved to the left, and the whole person moved to the left!
Oops!
Realizing that he had been deceived, Luke Xiao subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull, but could not pull the corner of Ling Feng's clothes.
After passing Luke Xiao, there is a vast sea and sky!
“Ling Feng passed!”
“Luke Xiao failed to stop him at all!”
Ling Feng continued to advance along the right road at high speed without forgetting Observe the movements of his teammates with ease.
There is Vardy at the front point, Mahrez is inserted in the inverted triangle, and Lingard is at the back point.
So the question is, to whom?
After only a few tenths of a second, he made a decision among the three options!
I saw him suddenly exerting force to move the ball forward, then taking three steps and two steps, raising his left arm high, and then kicked the ball in!
“Cross!”
The ball drew an arc inside the pocket, just bypassing Phil Jones who was defending at the front point, and went straight to Val behind him. In front of Dee.
As if he had already guessed that the ball would be passed to him, Vardy, who was already prepared, pushed with his right foot.
There was only a "bang" sound, and the ball immediately changed direction and shot straight to the lower right corner of the goal!
Even though De Gea landed extremely fast and did the splits, he still couldn't get the blocked ball from the inside corner of the goalpost and into the net!
“The ball is in!!!”
“Jamie Vardy!”
"He scored the eleventh league goal of the season!"
"Someone can imagine that this shooter, who just turned 28, was still playing in the amateur league four years ago!"< br>
“And now, he has become one of the most lethal strikers in the Premier League!”
“How can you not love the Premier League like this?!”
In Under the excited explanation of the commentator, Vardy opened his arms and ran to the stands where the away team fans were with excitement on his face, pumping his fists and roaring!
"ComeOn!"
At this moment, Old Trafford was breached by Leicester City for the first time!
It is worth mentioning that Vardy scored twice against Manchester United in the first round.
With three goals in two games, Vardy is the player with the most goals against Manchester United this season!
In addition to Manchester United, Vardy also scored against Everton and Liverpool, two teams that ranked among the top five in the league last season.
The future "Soul of the Blue Fox" has already begun to show his true qualities as a "rich killer"!
At the same time, above the stands.
Watching Ling Feng steal from the backcourt and advance to the frontcourt to provide assists, Ferguson was a little dissatisfied with the team conceding the ball first.
But I still couldn’t help but give Ling Feng a thumbs up in my heart.
Although I have always heard that the media has praised this Leicester boy to the sky.
However, this was his first time watching Ling Feng play live.
I have to say, there is something special about this young man’s cross!
As his thoughts were turning, a look of nostalgia appeared on the old man's face!
The same jersey number, the same cross from the right, the same left arm raised.
This reminded him of his proud disciple, who had the same good looks and skills. Beckham!
Compared with Beckham's wide arc of 45-degree cross, Ling Feng's arc cross is faster and more sudden.
But on the other hand, the accuracy is relatively poor, and the requirements for teammates' shooting skills will be higher.
Having been teammates with Ling Feng for a year, coupled with his good reflexes and shooting skills, Vardy was able to roughly predict the landing point of the cross and complete a good quality shot.
If it were another forward, such as Ulloa, he might not be able to hit the ball within the goal range.
However, apart from being both handsome and accurate in passing, Ling Feng and Beckham don't have much in common.
More importantly, the 19-year-old Beckham is definitely not as comfortable as the 19-year-old Ling Feng!
Every pass and every run, he is quite masterful, firmly controlling Leicester City's offensive rhythm.
No wonder the media dubbed him the "future midfield master".
Thinking of this, Ferguson couldn't help but smile and muttered in his heart:
"It seems that those boys didn't lie to me"
Previously, Scholes, Ferdinand, and even Rooney had mentioned Ling Feng's name to Ferguson.
They all believe that Ling Feng is a super genius that England has never seen before.
If Manchester United can have talented players like him, they will definitely be able to achieve a revival and even reach the top of the Premier League and even Europe again!
And they also know very well that even though he has retired, Ferguson still has a great influence on the Manchester United club.
He even has a certain say in team transfers and recruitment.
If Ferguson can talk to the club's senior management and let them buy Ling Feng, then at least Manchester United's offense will not have any problems! Originally, Ferguson did not take the recommendations of his former disciples seriously.
Over the years, he has seen too many so-called "geniuses" and "prodigies" who have been touted by the media
To this day, he has only seen less than half of them. In the game, many years of coaching experience and intuition tell him that all praise for Ling Feng is not exaggerated!
This black-haired boy has a football intelligence and versatile passing ability that are beyond his peers at a young age.
The football is reasonable, the speed is fast, and the confrontation is not bad.
Whether it is technical, physical, or football business attitude, Ferguson can't find any faults.
Of course, Ling Feng’s talent and strength are visible to the naked eye.
Manchester United is not the only club that covets him.
At this moment, the Arsenal scouts and Liverpool scouts in the stands were also staring at the court with shining eyes.
However, they were not here to inspect Ling Feng.
Because, Lingfeng is too expensive.
With their financial situation, they simply can’t afford it!
On the contrary, Vardy, who just scored, is a more realistic goal!
The age of twenty-eight is the golden age for professional players.
Although there is little potential to be tapped, judging from the scoring rate in the English Championship and Premier League, Vardy is definitely a very good immediate combat capability.
The most important thing is, it’s cheap!
Ever since, both scouts decided to call their bosses during halftime:
Be sure to sign Vardy before the transfer window closes!
. . .
As Vardy helped Leicester City take the lead, Manchester United, which lost face in front of their home fans, launched a ferocious counterattack.
However, at this time, there are still seven or eight minutes left before the end of the first half.
Moreover, Pearson made a very stupid wave of his hand, causing the entire formation to shrink back to half court and start a defensive counterattack!
Manchester United's offense was unable to pose much of a threat to the goal guarded by Schmeichel Jr.
In the end, as Cambiaso kicked the ball forward and cleared the ball, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half!
This half was absolutely unacceptable to Manchester United supporters.
We lost 5-3 in the first round at the King Power Stadium. It can be said that it was an away game and the team did not have enough coordination to escape the team's poor performance.
But, this is Old Trafford!
As the former Premier League hegemon Red Devils Manchester United, such a home performance is definitely failing!
Of course, the most difficult thing to accept is naturally the head coach who bears the pressure of the team's performance.
Therefore, when a gloomy-looking Van Gaal returned to the locker room, the first thing he did was to spray!
With a bang, he threw the tactical board in his hand to the ground!
"Guys, this kind of performance is not enough at home!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and pointed at Januzaj, who was bowing his head, and said in a deep voice:
"Adnan (Januzai), look up!"
When Januzaj looked up with a confused expression, Van Gaal was immediately rude
“Let me ask you, what are you doing on the field?!”
“I let You look up more to observe the movement of your teammates and cooperate with them. Why do you just stare at the ball and dribble blindly, refusing to pass the ball?"
Faced with Van Gaal's scolding, Januzaj! I didn't feel anything was wrong, but I felt a little aggrieved.
As a winger, his playing style is to tear apart the opponent's defense through dribbling.
Although he brought over 100 million points
“I just didn’t see it.”
Hearing that Januzaj was still defending his poor performance, Van Gaal’s face became even more ugly.
He did not continue to talk nonsense and said directly:
"Then, you can sit on the bench and take a good look at how other teammates pass the ball!"
"Marouane (Fellaini), come on in the second half!"
It didn't surprise anyone.
When the players from both sides returned to the court again, Van Gaal directly replaced Januzaj and replaced him with Fellaini.
Fellaini plays a right midfield position to strengthen the defensive height and hardness in the middle.
With the appearance of famous Chinese Super League player Fellaini, Ling Feng’s space for movement in the middle is even narrower.
Whenever he gets the ball, this shaggy head will come up and use his strong body to put pressure on the back.
Moreover, without the "undercover" Januzaj, Manchester United finally played a lot of smooth cooperation on the offensive end.
It wasn’t until the 67th minute of the game that Manchester United removed Van Persie and replaced Mata, a technical midfielder who played a small range of cooperation in the midfield, that they finally equalized the score:
< br>Di Maria advanced in the middle, and then played a one-two with the retreating Rooney and hit the wall, easily passing Cambiaso.
With his rich experience and awareness this season, Cambiaso has firmly established himself as the main defensive midfielder of the Blue Fox.
However, it cannot be denied that he is already thirty-four years old and his physical functions have declined severely.
If you really encounter a fast player, if you don't foul, you won't be able to guard against him!
After passing Cambiaso, Di Maria hit the wall again with Mata and entered the penalty area.
The two tall central defenders of Leicester City are most afraid of fast players!
Before they could step forward to block the ball, the Red Devils No. 7 fired a powerful shot with his left foot towards the near corner of the goal.
Even Schmeichel reacted quickly and turned sideways to keep the ball away.
But by some strange combination of circumstances, the ball was blocked in front of the goal.
At that moment, Falcao used his keen sense of smell in front of the goal, rushed forward and made a shovel shot, sending the ball into the empty goal!
The next second, the entire Old Trafford stadium was boiling!
At the same time, Pearson, who was standing on the sidelines, looked at the main coach next to him.
From each other's eyes, one can see a deep look of helplessness.
Just before losing the ball, Pearson had just planned to use Albrighton to replace Lingard, who had no temper at all after being guarded by Valencia.
From this detail alone, it can be seen that there is still a big gap between world-famous coaches like Pearson and Van Gaal in terms of on-the-spot command.
However, after Manchester United scored, after discussing with the assistant coach, he still made tactical and personnel adjustments in order to liberate Ling Feng!
He replaced Lingard directly.
But it was not Albrighton who was replaced, but the Argentinian Ulloa, and then he changed directly to 442!
Move Ling Feng to the right and Mahrez to the left.
In this way, no matter how many people there are in the middle space, it is impossible to trap Ling Feng in it!
After the change of formation, Leicester City's tactics have become simpler and more crude!
When you have the ball in the backcourt, look directly for Ling Feng and Mahrez on both sides, and then pass directly to find the two forwards, one high and one fast, in the penalty area!
Van Gaal, who was standing on the sidelines, also saw this tactical change of Leicester City.
The joy on his face as he equalized the score once again turned into sadness.
Made, are you doing this again?
You must know that in the first round of the contest between the two sides, it was with this magical hand that Leicester City scored two more goals in the critical stage of Manchester United's violent counterattack in the second half, completely killing the game!
