Chapter 241 Chasing the legend! Tied the Premier League assist record! 【Please subscribe! 】
Ling Feng’s appearance has obviously changed the team’s offense.
If not for the lack of time left for Ling Feng, England might have had a chance to kill the game at the last minute.
In the end, with Ling Feng's assist after coming off the bench, England tied with Italy one to one at the Juventus Stadium.
The two sides shook hands and made peace!
After this stage of the national team competition, Ling Feng did not return to England with the team, but came to Milan.
Without him, because his girlfriend Barbara works in Milan, he plans to visit the class.
As Ling Feng’s popularity and reputation in football grew, Barbara, as the girlfriend of the British Emperor star, also gained more attention in a short period of time.
Her social media fans also skyrocketed from hundreds of thousands at the beginning to more than two million!
Especially every time she posts photos with Ling Feng on social media and has sweet interactions, she attracts an incredible number of likes and comments.
People always yearn for beautiful things, such as beautiful love.
As for Ling Feng and Barbara, the golden couple,
and in terms of work, Barbara also got more opportunities to cooperate with big names.
However, the two of them are still very young and on the rise of their careers, so they are relatively busy at work.
Especially Ling Feng.
As a professional player, during the season, training and games almost take up his life, without much time for rest or dating.
So, both of them cherish the time they spend with each other.
For example, on days when there is no filming work, if it happens to be a home game of Leicester City, Barbara will go to the scene to watch the game and cheer for her boyfriend;
For example, in During the short vacation after the game, Ling Feng would also take a private plane to meet his girlfriend.
After arriving in Milan, Ling Feng met Barbara in a studio where a magazine was shooting.
Barbara, who was dressed in a light yellow floral dress, was obviously a little surprised by Ling Feng's arrival.
Then the surprise in those sky-blue eyes turned into a surprise.
“Why are you here?!”
“Let’s see if you are doing a good job!”
Since the filming will take several hours, Ling Feng just followed Ba After Bara briefly said hello, she watched quietly at the scene.
During this period, he did not forget to use his money-counting ability to buy a cup of coffee and sandwiches for all the staff on site, so that they could take care of Barbara.
Such small details made many staff members feel good about him, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts:
He is handsome, good at playing football, and yet so gentle and attentive!
Absolutely awesome!
It wasn’t until ten o’clock in the evening that the filming was announced to be over.
That night, after spending the night with Barbara, Ling Feng said goodbye to his reluctant girlfriend the next morning and took a private jet back to England.
However, when he returned to the Belvoir base with a happy face, he saw a limping Mahrez in the base.
When Ling Feng asked what was going on, he learned from Mahrez that the Algeria international strained his thigh while participating in the national team match yesterday!
Injuries are always the biggest enemy of professional players.
Every professional player doesn’t know when it will suddenly come to him.
What they can do is to become stronger and protect themselves as much as possible to minimize the risk of injury.
Later, according to assistant coach Walsh, they learned that Mahrez was injured. Pearson, who heard the news, spit out the fragrance directly in the office.
After inspection, Mahrez is conservatively estimated to be injured for four weeks!
This means that he will basically miss several rounds of the Premier League and the two rounds of the quarter-finals against Naples!
This is definitely very, very bad news for Leicester City!
You know, in Leicester City's tactical system, Mahrez is the core frontcourt player second only to Ling Feng!
The Algeria international can break through people with the ball on the wing, pass threatening balls, and can even take long shots outside the penalty area to directly threaten the opponent's goal.
In addition to poor movement without the ball and average physical confrontation, as an inverted winger with an inverted foot, he has almost no major shortcomings in offense!
Especially when Ling Feng is heavily targeted, Mahrez will serve as the team's second ball-holding offensive core, playing a role in attracting and tearing apart the defense.
His importance on the court is self-evident.
This season, he has played 25 times in the Premier League and contributed eight goals and eight assists. His personal statistics are even comparable to Chelsea's star Hazard!
However, Mahrez's injury has a very obvious impact on the team's offense.
However, under the leadership of Ling Feng, Leicester City defeated its opponents without any danger in the two league matches in early April.
In the thirty-first round of the league, Leicester City defeated West Ham United, which ranked ninth in the league, with a score of 2-1 at home.
Ling Feng, who sent out an assist, won the Man of the Match award for the tenth time this season.
In the 32nd round of the league, Leicester City visited the Hawthorn Stadium and faced mid-table West Bromwich Albion.
West Brom, who are only five points away from the relegation zone, have the home advantage and have caused a lot of trouble for Leicester City.
Berahino, another new English striker who has exploded this season, took the lead for West Brom in the game.
However, even without the three main players Mahrez, Drinkwater, and Morgan, Leicester City's overall strength is still higher than West Brom.
With Lingard's goal and Maguire's header at the end of the game, Leicester City won the away game!
And it was Ling Feng who assisted Maguire for his first Premier League goal!
It is worth mentioning that this assist allowed him to complete his twentieth assist in the Premier League this season, thus tying the season assist record held by former Arsenal legend Thierry Henry!
On the same day, Ling Feng, who once again won the best of the match, accepted a real-time online interview from "Sky Sports" TV station.
In the studio, in addition to the host, there is also "Emperor" Henry himself!
"Ling, first of all, congratulations on your twentieth assist this season. What an amazing number! This also allows you to tie the Premier League assist record held by Thierry Henry."
"How do you feel now?"
Wearing headphones and listening to the questions broadcast from the TV station, Ling Feng smiled slightly at the camera:
"Thank you very much. I I am very excited now. Henry is a great player and I am very happy to tie his record."
"Just in time, Henry is here to let you two Premier League assist leaders have a chat."
Before the host finished speaking, Henry, who was a commentator on Sky Sports, took over:
"Hey, Ling! This is Thierry!"
"Hello, Thierry."
"Congratulations, your performance this season is incredible!"
“Your passing is great. If we could become teammates, you would definitely have more than twenty assists!”
“So, you really don’t think about coming to Arsenal to play football. ”
Hearing Henry's joke coming from the earphones, Ling Feng also joked: "Haha, if I join Arsenal, it's better for you to come to Leicester City. We can still be teammates! If you are willing to come back, we will definitely Become a very good combination!”
Hearing this, Henry also laughed out loud:
“Hahaha, forget it if I join the Premier League. If it's a club, Arsene will definitely call me immediately and scold me!"
Henry's humor made Ling Feng raise his lips and reveal a smile from the bottom of his heart.
"I think I will hear the news about you breaking my record soon."
"Thank you very much. If the record holder was not you, I might not tie it so soon. After all, Chasing legends makes people excited!”
“Next time, I will try to catch up with your number of goals!”
Hearing Ling Feng’s very flattering words! , Henry was not angry at all, but found Ling Feng very interesting:
"Hahaha, I appreciate your ambition, then you may need to put in more effort and sweat than you do now."
"I will. If there is such a day, I will definitely send you a text message."
"Hahaha, I look forward to that day"
After the short post-match interview, Ling Feng took his best champagne and returned to the locker room.
The moment he entered the locker room, his teammates, who had already discussed it, unanimously applauded him for tying the Premier League assist record!
Pa bang bang.
For a moment, there was thunderous applause.
Facing the coach and teammates, Ling Feng also had a solemn expression. He imitated the appearance of a medieval nobleman and bowed to everyone with an aristocratic salute:
"Thank you, gentlemen, tomorrow. Go to the Chinese restaurant for a big dinner, I’ll treat you!”
As soon as these words came out, the applause became even more enthusiastic, accompanied by the cheers of Vardy, Lingard and others.
Looking at the harmonious atmosphere in the locker room, Pearson felt proud.
He could swear that this was definitely the best team he had ever led!
The next day.
Tie Henry's Premier League assist record, making Ling Feng once again appear on the headlines and covers of major media newspapers.
After the interview clip between Ling Feng and Henry was uploaded to the Internet, it exceeded one million views in just a few days.
Many people believe that this is the transition between old and new eras!
As the post-1970s stars led by Beckham, Henry and others have gradually retired, the post-80s superstars led by Melo continue to dominate the football world.
However, those born in the 1990s, led by Ling Feng, Neymar, Hazard, etc., are also quietly growing rapidly!
Who will be able to break Melo's monopoly and become the first Ballon d'Or winner born in the 1990s?
Perhaps it will be a topic that the football world talks about for a long time to come.
However, when the media and fans are considering this candidate, Ling Feng’s name will definitely appear in their minds.
. . .
The season has progressed to mid-April, and the five major leagues have all entered the final stage.
The Premier League championship battle has almost come to an end.
With one game in hand, Chelsea has a nine-point lead over second-placed Manchester City!
For Leicester City, it is also a critical moment to compete for European qualification.
Including the make-up match against Chelsea in the 27th round, they still have seven league rounds left.
The opponents are Swansea, Burnley, Newcastle, Southampton, Sunderland, and Queens Park Rangers.
Among these opponents, except for Chelsea, which ranks first, the league rankings of the other opponents are all below Leicester City.
However, every game is not easy to win.
Swansea and Southampton are Leicester City’s direct competitors for European qualification;
The four teams Newcastle, Sunderland, Burnley and Queens Park Rangers are ranked at the bottom. In order to avoid relegation, they will do everything they can to score points!
Coupled with the battle with Naples, their last two months of the season will determine whether their entire season will land smoothly or plummet!
However, before the upcoming game against Naples, Leicester City received good news:
The PFA (England Professional Footballers' Union) announced the Player of the Season and the Best Young Player A shortlist of 6 people.
Chelsea twin stars Hazard and Diego Costa, Arsenal thigh Sanchez, Red Devils and Manchester United patron De Gea, Tottenham supernova Harry Kane and Blue Fox star Ling Feng will compete in the final The best honor of the season!
In addition, Hazard, Courtois, Sterling, Coutinho, Kane, Ling Feng and other six people will compete for the best young player award.
As soon as this best list was announced, it caused an uproar!
Because, Manchester City's top striker Sergio Aguero, who is currently the top scorer, was not selected for the best candidate list!
Manchester City fans, in particular, flocked directly to the PFA’s official website, and even complained on their own social media:
“Holy shit! PFA, are you blind?”< br>
"Where's Akun's name?"
"Can't get into the Premier League Golden Boot? Haha!"
In addition to Aguero, Manchester United's summer window champion and new No. 7" Angel Di Maria and Chelsea's assists leader Cesc Fabregas both failed to be selected, which is also puzzling.
The inclusion of Coutinho in the list is a more controversial point.
Although he has made significant progress this season and has become the core of Liverpool's midfield.
However, no matter in terms of on-field performance or personal data, Coutinho is not outstanding.
Many people believe that Aguero, Di Maria, and Cesc Fabregas are more qualified than him to be selected for the best candidate list.
This is also the first time that Ling Feng has been selected as the PFA Best Player in both categories, and has been selected as a candidate for the PFA Best Young Player for two consecutive years.
However, compared to the previous year, he could only sit back and watch Hazard win the award.
This year’s award belongs to him!
Played 28 games in the Premier League, contributed 11 goals and 20 assists!
Originally, Kane, who scored 18 goals in the league this season, was his strongest competitor for this award.
However, after Ling Feng tied Henry's single-season assist record, the suspense ended.
You know, every year there are players who score twenty or more league goals.
However, the feat of sending out twenty assists in a single season is not something that can be achieved every year.
Since the Premier League was founded in 1992, only Henry has done it.
Twelve years later, Ling Feng became the second Premier League player to achieve this feat!
What’s even more terrifying is that he is not yet twenty years old!
Whether it is strength or potential, Ling Feng is the best young player in the Premier League.
No one!
