Chapter 269 If you don’t work hard, your talent will be useless!
With Kanter's ruthless sweep in the midfield, Eriksen was tightly guarded. Tottenham's attack in the middle was on the rocks, and they could only choose to attack more wings.
But since Lennon and Bell, Tottenham's wingers have actually lost their speed.
Both Chadli and Lamela are inward wingers with good foot skills but no absolute speed.
Facing Simpson and Fuchs, two experienced defensive full-backs, it is not so easy.
Fortunately, Tottenham's two full-backs are fast enough!
Therefore, the two wingers' offensive routine is mainly to take the ball and cut inside, leaving space on the wing for the full-back behind them.
However, this slightly single offensive routine fits the Blue Fox's defensive strategy.
The full-backs frequently provide assists, and the space behind them becomes even larger.
Repeated side attacks were fruitless, but gave Leicester City a chance to counterattack!
In the stoppage time of the first half, the Blue Fox once again showed its sharp fangs!
As left-back Rose made a mistake in his cross pass after being set up on the left, Kanter intercepted it again, and the Blue Fox once again launched a quick counterattack.
Kante passed the ball to Brother Drinkwater not far away. The latter looked up and observed the movement of his teammates in the frontcourt, and then directly passed the ball long and found Mahrez on the right.
Even though Ross was chasing after him frantically, Mahrez quickly dribbled the ball along the right and advanced to the right side of the frontcourt.
At the same time, Vardy in the center ran diagonally to the left, attracting Tottenham center defender Alderweireld to move laterally, slightly widening the distance from the other center defender.
Ling Feng, who jumped in at high speed, got a one-on-one opportunity with another Tottenham defender Vertonghen.
As Mahrez's low ball hit the middle, Ling Feng rushed up to meet the ball, and before Vertonghen stretched his legs to block it, he stretched his feet and flicked it, and the whole person stopped and passed. He entered the restricted area!
“Constant stoppages! Master-class handling!”
“Single shot!”
Facing the goal, he bent down and spread his arms, like a Gallic giant. Luo Li, the goose, Ling Feng smiled contemptuously, swinging his legs to push the far corner.
Lori also made a subconscious judgment and moved a step to the right in an attempt to block the shot.
However, what he never expected was that Ling Feng's shot was actually a fake!
After swaying his feet and tricking Luo Li into moving ahead of time, Ling Feng moved his instep with the outside of his feet and pushed hard with his left supporting foot, and he suddenly jumped out.
This time, Lori, who was out of balance, was passed directly.
This scene directly caused many Blue Fox fans to raise their arms in advance and celebrate the goal!
With a slight push, Ling Feng confirmed that the ball rolled into the empty goal, and Ling Feng turned around like an ancient knight who killed without leaving a trace.
Then, he ran to the main stand, paused, opened his arms, and made his own special celebration!
"What a perfect feint! What a perfect pass! What a perfect goal!!!"
For this goal, the commentator actually repeated it three times in a row. The word "perfect".
“This goal brought the Blue Fox’s lead in the first half to two goals!”
"Having said that, Ling Feng's celebration has become one of the coolest celebrations in the Premier League!"
At the same time
Looking at the man standing in the main stand with his head held high The Blue Fox No. 7, who opened his arms in front of him and accepted the worship of the fans like a king, and Dele Alli, Winks and other Tottenham young people sitting on the bench of the away team, suddenly felt even more emotional.
If they have read "Historical Records", they may also sigh directly in their hearts:
This is how a man should be!
Ali, in particular, pursed his lips tightly and his eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.
This black-haired young man is obviously only one year older than himself, but he is already able to dominate the game in the Premier League and enjoy the cheers and applause of thousands of fans.
He also broke various records and became the Premier League's single-season historical assists leader, as well as being the pride of heaven and the absolute core of the Three Lions team that Great Britain boasted about.
Even in the eyes of everyone, he is still a strong contender for the best in the Premier League!
In contrast, the fact that I have not yet stepped onto the Premier League stage at the age of nineteen is a world of difference.
However, Ali, who was proud and arrogant, was very envious of Ling Feng's wonderful experience. However, deep down in his heart, he did not think that he was worse than Ling Feng.
Maybe he is not as good as Ling Feng at this stage, but he is confident of catching up with Ling Feng.
Since Ling Feng can let the Premier League see his dazzling light at the age of nineteen, he can too.
Just a chance for him to show his talent in front of the world!
And this opportunity will come soon!
As the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, the visiting team players returned to the locker room in a frustrated mood.
"Guys, I am not satisfied with your performance on the field. We must do better!"
"In the second half, we must be more determined."
Due to Kanter's defense in the middle, Ericsson is basically forced by Pochettino, who can only continue to strengthen the attack on the wing, allowing Eriksson to change positions with Chadli on the left, and move to the wing to organize and pass the ball. .
Then let Lamela on the right increase the frequency of inward shots.
Finally, he did not forget to remind Kane, who had little chance in the first half, to drop back more to get the ball and play some wall-to-wall coordination with his teammates.
These tactical changes have made Tottenham's frontcourt offensive routine more layered.
However, they met Kante, the "future world's No. 1 defensive midfielder" who started in the Premier League for the first time!
Kante is very grateful for the opportunity Ranieri gave him.
He is determined to repay the coach with his performance on the field!
Therefore, he is like a tackling robot that never stops. Wherever there is a ball, he will appear.
His range of activities is not limited to the center, but the left and right sidelines have traces of his efforts to fight for the ball!
In this game, this black dwarf made everyone see it
Even many Blue Fox fans who know the game have started to make memes on the Internet:
"Wearing a blue jersey, a French black midfielder, very obsessed with stealing, guess a player?"
"Makelele: Yes, it is. Kante: Next!"
"Makelele of the Blue Fox!"
When the game came to sixty minutes, watching Lamela once again dribbled the ball too much on the court and was intercepted by Kante. Pochettino couldn't stand it anymore!
It’s time to try something bold!
He turned around directly and looked at the players on the bench, and his eyes met Ali in the air:
"Dele! Go warm up!"
Hearing this, Ali was stunned for a moment, and then he was poked by Winks next to him, and then he suddenly jumped up:
" Yes, coach!”
Going to warm up with Ali was the team’s real midfielder, Moussa Dembele!
A few minutes later, taking advantage of the dead ball, Pochettino replaced Lamela with Alli, and Dembele replaced Bentaleb.
The camera is also focused on Dele Alli, who is about to make his Tottenham and Premier League debut.
“Dele Alli, this nineteen-year-old midfield star, made his professional debut as early as sixteen years old.”
“He was already popular in the winter window of last season. Spurs bought him for a transfer fee of 5 million pounds and continued to loan him back to the League One team Milton Keynes for the second half of the season. "It was not until the end of May this year that he officially joined Tottenham."
"This young man has excellent running ability without the ball and the ability to penetrate from behind. His physical talent is also visible to the naked eye. Especially his shooting skills are absolutely outstanding among the midfielders."
"However, his passing and vision still need to be learned from Eriksen, the senior in the team."
"In time, he may be able to become the backbone of the Three Lions!"
< br>“We need to give some time and patience to every young person with potential.”
“After all, not every 19-year-old young man is like Rooney, Irving and Ling Feng. "Super genius"
Under the introduction of the commentator, Ali also high-fived Lamela, and then set foot on the Premier League stage for the first time!
After coming on the field, Ali replaced Bentaleb and formed a double midfielder with Dier. Dembele was moved to the attacking midfielder position, while the original attacking midfielder Eriksen temporarily moved to the right.
Seeing Ali come on as a substitute, Ling Feng couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.
His impression of Ali can only be described as average.
Some even regret that iron cannot become steel.
Strictly speaking, Ali is a typical example of many people who destroy themselves.
Family background, character flaws, and psychological problems caused the British star, who was once praised by the media, to indulge himself during the rising period of his career and no longer focus on football.
I have wasted my time and talent in vain, from being a favorite of a wealthy club with a net worth of 100 million euros, to becoming an abandoned Tottenham player without a ball to play, and finally becoming another famous player in football. Hurt Zhongyong.
Seeing the young and energetic Ali at this moment, Ling Feng recalled a classic saying by Ronaldo at an award ceremony:
When the host asked Ronaldo, "What? is the biggest secret to his success”, Ronaldo thought for a moment before answering:
“Talent will be useless if you don’t work hard”
. . .
As time continues to pass, the entire formation of Tottenham's youth team has become more pressing under the big wave of coach Pochettino.
Even the central defender was pressed to the top of the center circle.
With Dembele's appearance, Tottenham's offense suddenly became more rhythmic.
Although he is pushed into the attacking midfielder position, Dembele's habit is to drop back to catch the ball and then organize and divide the ball.
And it just so happens that Ali is also a player with a very strong desire to attack. As he kicks, he can't help but move forward, and then cooperates with several people in the frontcourt.
Ever since, when Dembélé retreated, Ali would step in and participate in the attack, thus forming a change of positions.
The Blue Fox is obviously not prepared for this change in Tottenham's midfield.
In the 75th minute of the game, Tottenham finally got the best chance of the game:
Dembele suddenly made a through kick, from Kante and Drinkwater. The space passed through and came to the feet of Kane who was retreating.
The latter leaned heavily on Morgan with his back, then observed the movement of his teammates, turned into a fort, and knocked the ball horizontally.
Then Ali stepped in and poked the ball before Huth extended his leg to steal the ball, and then accelerated into the penalty area.
Facing Schmeichel Jr., he shot low with his right foot and sent the ball into the far corner.
"Dele~~~Ali!"
"Wow!"
"This young man scored his first Premier League goal in his Premier League debut!"
"Such a debut is definitely worth it for the 19-year-old Dele Alli. Remember!”
“Remember, Tottenham not only has Harry Kane, but also Dele Alli!”
However, Ali did not celebrate passionately after scoring. Instead, he immediately rushed into the goal, picked up the ball and ran back.
This scene caused the visiting team Tottenham fans to burst into amazing cheers and applause.
Many Tottenham fans immediately had a favorable impression of this young man who had just joined!
And Ling Feng also raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
That's great!
Now Ali has not started to mess up yet!
There is still a desire for victory in my heart!
However, what he didn't expect was that after Ali placed the ball at the kick-off point, he deliberately looked at him and then raised his chin towards him.
From that look, Ling Feng felt a hint of provocation.
This provocative look was a response to his last goal and a challenge to him, the first of the new generation of players in England.
I heard that you are the most awesome young man in England and even the world right now?
I, Ali, am not convinced!
However, dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Don’t talk about Ali’s current level, even Ali at his peak is not enough to compare with Ling Feng now!
Just five minutes after Ali scored, Ling Feng made this Premier League rookie understand why he is the most valuable player under U21 in the world:
Mahrez is here Dribbling the ball from the right caused a foul by Rose, and the Blue Fox got a set kick opportunity.
Ling Feng, who took the set kick, first took three steps back, then accelerated during the run-up, swinging his leg and jerking it with the inside of his foot.
The next second, the ball drew an elegant arc in mid-air, accurately finding Huth who was ambushing behind the goal.
Then, the Blue Fox, who had the highest altitude on the team, forced Walker underneath him and smashed the ball into the net with a powerful header!
And this goal, like a plate of cold water, immediately doused the newly ignited fighting spirit of Tottenham players.
And this assist also allowed Ali and all the viewers watching this game to see what is called a fatal placement and the art of passing!
The most important thing is that after sending the assist, Ling Feng did not forget to look at Ali, then raised his chin to him and smiled back.
At that moment, Ali's heart was filled with only deep shock and awe.
He is really strong!
After the kick-off again, Tottenham's players became more and more impatient and began to press crazily in the frontcourt.
However, after the Blue Fox seized a chance to counterattack and almost sent the ball into the goal again, they did not dare to continue attacking so fiercely.
Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Tottenham were unable to truly threaten Leicester City's goal again in the last ten minutes.
And this focus battle of the third round ended with the Blue Fox winning three consecutive victories
