Chapter 251 Premier League champion, let you keep it for now!
Like Mourinho, when he saw Ling Feng's heavy bombardment, the Blue Fox coach Pearson, not far away, was almost shocked.
I wipe it!
When did this kid’s long-range shooting become so awesome?
I saw him turning his head with some suspicion and looking at his old friend Walsh:
"Steve, Ling's father is Chinese, right?"
"That's right. What's wrong?"
"Then has he cultivated some mysterious Eastern power?"
No wonder Pearson thinks so, Ling Feng’s sudden shooting power is really scary!
Hearing this, Walsh just smiled slightly and spread his hands:
"I don't know either. But haven't you seen the marks on the fence of the training ground? Or do you think that this boy can grow into what he is now because of some mysterious Eastern power?"
As soon as these words came out, Pearson immediately recalled the craters on the fence of the training ground that had been dented by shots.
Those are the irrefutable proof that Ling Feng has put in the effort and time for this!
In the end, Pearson, who couldn't figure it out, gave up.
He could only attribute Ling Feng's suddenly stronger shooting power as always to the infinite potential contained in this super genius.
Or maybe some mysterious oriental power has been cultivated that allows Ling Feng to discover the potential in his body through continuous training, thereby mastering more football skills and techniques and becoming more powerful than other professional players!
If you think about it this way, everything makes sense!
In any case, the stronger Ling Feng is, the more beneficial and harmless it will be to Leicester City!
With Ling Feng’s kick, Chelsea’s defensive strategy changed.
With such a long range, even if Chelsea accumulates manpower in the midfield and backfield, no matter how small the passing space is, they will not be able to fly into the air and stop the ball.
After all, this isn't basketball, it's football.
So, we must stop him from taking long shots!
“Go up!”
As a result, with captain Terry shouting from behind, the two defensive midfielders Matic and Ramirez began to take turns stepping forward to attack Ling. Feng carried out personal defense.
However, today's Ling Feng is no longer the rookie in the Premier League who was forced to kick the ball when faced with close marking.
As the weapons in his arsenal become increasingly abundant, he has many ways to get rid of his opponents' close surveillance!
In the 28th minute of the game, Ling Feng hit the wall with Mahrez who came to meet him in the middle, and easily passed Ramirez who was tightly entangled with him.
Then, facing the menacing Matic, he made a rhinoceros soup, widened the shooting angle, and fired directly!
With the "bang" sound, Matic only felt a strong wind passing by his side.
The ball instantly turned into a cannonball, shooting towards Chelsea's goal with thunderous momentum!
Standing on the goal line, Courtois only felt a flash of white light and the ball was already in front of him.
Holy shit!
Again? !
He saw the power of Ling Feng's two long-range shots just now.
If this shot hits me in the face, I will have at least a second-degree concussion!
However, if you block it with your hands, your palms may be broken.
In the flash of lightning, the desire to survive made Courtois react in an astonishing way. He subconsciously clenched his fists and launched a double dragon attack!
With a bang, the ball was knocked out by his fists!
Then it bounced off the grass and landed right at Vardy’s feet!
The latter's first reaction was to lift his foot, stop, and push forward.
Courtois, who was lying on the ground, had no time to step forward and block the shooting angle.
Like other Blues players, they could only watch the ball go into the net.
The next second, the stadium burst into cheers!
“The ball is scored!”
“Jamie~~~Vardy!”
"The Blue Fox No. 9 scored the fifteenth goal in the league this season, helping Leicester City lead the Blues Chelsea at home!"
"This is the sense of smell of a forward!"
"However, 80% of the credit for this goal must be recorded on Ling Feng!"
"If it weren't for his powerful and heavy super long-range shot, the Belgian goalkeeper The save was missed, and Vardy couldn't make a follow-up shot."
Even the Blues' defense players raised their hands and complained to the referee that Vardy might have been offside.
However, in this era without VAR and advanced semi-offside systems, offside decisions rely heavily on the linesman's vision.
The linesman on the sideline did not raise the flag in his hand!
Beep!
As the referee raised his hand and pointed to the center circle, the goal was valid!
With Leicester City taking the lead at home, the Blue Fox players are in high morale and are determined to regain the place they lost at Stamford Bridge at home.
However, their opponent is the best defensive and counterattack coach and team in football!
Even though the championship is a sure thing and rotations have been carried out, the two main frontcourt players, Costa and Cesc Fabregas, did not appear.
However, as long as Hazard is on the court, Chelsea's counterattack cannot be underestimated!
That is, when Leicester City pressed the attack, Chelsea seized the gap in the transition between offense and defense and handed the ball to Hazard.
And this man, hailed by Mourinho as the best player in the Premier League today as the third man, used his personal ability to tear apart Leicester City's defense on the wing and create a corner kick in the frontcourt. Chance.
It was this corner kick that allowed Chelsea captain Terry to grab the first point in the penalty area and level the score with a flick of his head!
In the second half of the game, the game changed sides and fought again. Both sides had offense and defense, and the fight was back and forth.
Until the last moment of the game, there is a chance to kill the game.
Especially Leicester City, which had the home field advantage and had a stronger desire to win, missed several excellent opportunities.
For example, in the 76th minute of the game, after Ling Feng broke through several people in the middle, he sent a single-handed ball to the left, but Lingard shot it onto the side net;
Another example is Mahrez's direct free kick from the right, which was saved by Courtois.
In the end, with Vardy's supplementary shot in front of the goal in the first half and Terry's header, he scored , Leicester City drew 1-1 with Chelsea at the King Power Stadium.
The moment the referee blew the whistle to end the game, both the Blues players on the field and the visiting fans in the stands cheered.
Seeing this, some Blue Fox fans were confused and didn't know why Chelsea felt so excited and excited about a draw.
They didn’t react until someone reminded them.
"They won the championship ahead of schedule!"
Yes, with three league rounds left, Chelsea has led the second-placed Arsenal by as many as ten points with this draw with Leicester City. !
In other words, even if Chelsea loses all and Arsenal wins in the next three league rounds, Arsenal will not be able to prevent Chelsea from winning the championship!
Chelsea still relied on one point in this game to be crowned the 2014-15 Premier League champion three rounds in advance!
The Blue Fox players were also very friendly in sending congratulations to the Blues soldiers.
Arriving in front of Hazard, Ling Feng shook hands with him and greeted:
"Congratulations on winning the league championship, Eden."
"Thanks, man"
< br>Sending congratulations to Cahill, Terry and others, Ling Feng watched the Blues soldiers jumping and celebrating excitedly on the grass of the King Power Stadium, and his eyes couldn't help but flash with a strong fighting spirit.
The Premier League champion, let me keep it for you first!
. . . After Chelsea's make-up match ended, just three days later, Leicester City welcomed Newcastle United, the "Magpie" who had lost seven consecutive games in the league, at home.
The last time the two sides met, there was a rift.
In that game, many Leicester City players were fouled and violated.
Even Drinkwater was injured by a tackle and was directly injured.
Since then, Newcastle's extremely poor start has not improved their condition. Instead, during the winter window, the original coach Alan Pardew also left the team and became the new coach of Crystal Palace.
His temporary replacement is the team's assistant coach John Carver.
After several victories, the fire-fighting coach changed coaches like changing knives, but he did not really restore the Magpies' decline, but sank with the Magpies all the way!
After thirty-four league rounds, Newcastle are only ranked fifteenth, only three points away from the relegation zone!
Especially the last seven league games, all lost!
On one side is the magpie who is in no condition, and on the other side is the blue fox who is eager for revenge.
The process and result of the competition have been determined before it begins!
Although Newcastle continued to use extremely rough foul tactics in an attempt to interrupt the Blue Fox's smooth attack.
However, this Blue Fox is no longer the same Blue Fox seven months ago
And the protagonist of this game is undoubtedly Vardy!
In addition to receiving Ling Feng's through ball and scoring within five minutes of the opening, he also caused a foul in the penalty area by Newcastle defender Janmat during the breakthrough, giving him a yellow dot package.
The penalty kick was taken by Vardy and he hit it with one shot.
As the Blue Fox's top scorer, Vardy has scored 17 league goals in his first Premier League season!
In the 28th minute of the first half, Newcastle player Janmat received a second yellow card for his second foul on Vardy and was sent off.
With one less player to fight, Newcastle's morale was even lower, making their movements even more rigid.
Just ten minutes later, Newcastle suffered another blow!
Central defender Williamson committed a tactical foul when Ling Feng advanced from defense to offense and also received the second yellow card of the game.
Just like that, before the first half was over, Newcastle were already trailing 2-0 and had two less players to fight.
In stoppage time, Ling Feng received a cross from Mahrez and scored with a low shot from the penalty area, sealing the victory for the team in the first half.
After 3-0 at halftime, Pearson replaced Ling Feng in the midfield, who was passing and shooting.
Let him clock out early and take a rest, so that his opponents won't get ahead of him and foul his big baby.
In the end, Leicester City beat the Magpies with five goals at home, avenging the first round match!
After defeating Newcastle, there are still three rounds left in the league.
The battle for the Premier League championship has been settled.
But the battle for European qualification spots has not yet been decided.
The top three in the league are Chelsea with 81 points, Arsenal with 71 points and Manchester City with 68 points.
If nothing else happens, the three teams will basically win the top three in the league and qualify for the Champions League next season.
The key is the last Champions League spot in fourth place!
After defeating West Brom at home, Manchester United has 64 points, two points more than fifth-placed Leicester City.
And Liverpool, sixth, has 59 points.
Manchester United, Leicester City and Liverpool all have a chance to finish fourth and get tickets for next season's Champions League.
However, for Leicester City, which has returned to the Premier League after ten years, its performance this season has exceeded everyone's expectations.
You know, before the start of the season, no one would have thought that they would achieve such an amazing record.
Even the Blue Fox generals could not have imagined that at the end of the season, they were still firmly occupying the top six positions in the league!
No matter whether they can reach the top four in the end, they have created the best record in the Premier League in team history!
Therefore, whether it is training or tactical meetings, head coach Pearson is reducing the pressure on the players all the time.
“We have performed so well this season”
“Don’t worry about qualifying for the Champions League, just play every game seriously and the results will come naturally”
< br>“Our goal is to enjoy the game”
Of course, if Leicester City can historically qualify for the Champions League, there will be many benefits.
Not only can you make a lot of money, but you can also attract more capable players to join the team through Champions League qualification.
If operated and managed well, Leicester City may even take off and become a powerful team in the Premier League!
Of course, before considering those future plans and developments, they must consider a very serious problem.
That is whether the existing lineup structure can be retained!
With Leicester City's amazing performance this season, the main players in the team have attracted strong interest from other clubs.
There will definitely be crazy grabs or offers from other clubs in the summer.
As for whether to qualify for the Champions League or the Europa League next year, it is just a matter of earning more or less.
. .
Perhaps due to being too relaxed or adopting rotations, the team actually lost control at the last moment when concentration was most needed.
In the thirty-sixth round of the league, the home game against Southampton.
Although Lingard's tenth goal in the league, the Blue Foxes entered the second half with a one-goal lead.
However, at the 83rd minute of the second half, the central defense, which has been used by opponents many times this season, was once again overwhelmed:
Saints No. 10 Mane staged a wave After a long run, they passed by making soup before Cambiaso and Marty James encircled each other.
Then he broke into the penalty area at high speed and completed a high-quality shot, which penetrated the fingers of Australian goalkeeper Schwarzer.
And this goal finally gave Southampton a draw at the King Power Stadium.
This draw puts Leicester City in an unfavorable situation.
However, in the thirty-seventh round, Manchester United was tied with Arsenal at home and lost once.
Leicester City seized the opportunity and narrowly defeated Sunderland by one goal in the away game, narrowing the points gap to two points again.
In this way, the suspense of competing for fourth place in the league was maintained until the last round of the league.
In the final round of the league, Leicester City faced Queens Park Rangers, who had already been relegated, at home.
Manchester United, the fourth-place rival, also faced relegated Hull City away from home.
The two sides are separated by two points, and Leicester City has a greater goal difference.
In other words, in the last round, as long as Manchester United loses or draws, Leicester City can overtake and get fourth place in the league, thus gaining tickets to the Champions League next season.
But the premise is that Leicester City must win Queens Park Rangers!
