Chapter 270: Relegation? I believe you!
“The game is over!”
“Leicester City defeated visiting Tottenham at home and won their third consecutive victory at the start of the season!”
“ In this game, Ling Feng contributed two passes and one shot, continuing his huge influence in the game..."
"In his second Premier League season, this British hope has high hopes , once again put in an amazing performance”
"He has sent six assists in three games. God knows what number his assists will reach this season."
After celebrating with his teammates, Ling Feng took the initiative to find a face. Kane, a frustrated national team teammate, deliberately joked with him:
"Hey, Harry, the transfer window is not over yet, you still have time to join us now!"
Hearing this , Kane couldn't help but show a wry smile, and could only retort weakly:
"Don't be too proud, you will know how powerful we are when you get to White Hart Lane!"
"Haha, let's wait and see."
After that, Ling Feng also came to Ali, who made his Premier League debut and first goal, and stretched out his hand:
"Hey, Man, congratulations on your Premier League debut!”
Although Ali was unwilling to accept Ling Feng’s kindness, he was not a fool without a point.
After all, the black-haired young man standing in front of him is the absolute core of the Three Lions and the historical assist leader in the Premier League in a single season!
Whether it is his status in football or his national team qualifications, he is his senior.
Furthermore, he had to admit that Ling Feng was indeed much stronger than him!
In football, the strong certainly deserve respect.
While his thoughts were spinning, he also stretched out his hand and shook Ling Feng's hand.
“Thank you.”
"I like your behavior after scoring the goal. It can be seen that you really want to win, and I respect that."
After a few simple polite words, Ling Feng turned and left, leaving only Ali stood there, staring closely at his back
The next day, many media reported on the game.
They did not expect that Leicester City actually defeated Tottenham, and it did not seem to take much effort.
With three consecutive wins at the start, this is definitely the best start to the Premier League in the history of Leicester City!
However, at the post-match press conference, when faced with reporters' questions about goals for this season, Ranieri just pushed up his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and showed a kind smile:
"At the beginning of the league I have answered this question before. Our goal is to avoid relegation and get 40 points.”
“But you have already scored nine points! And it only took three games!”
“I am very satisfied with the team’s performance, which means that we have taken a very solid step away from relegation!”
And these remarks once again made everyone present He couldn't help but curl his lips inwardly.
Relegation?
I believe you!
What a bad old man!
When faced with questions about Ling Feng’s hot state, Ranieri was also generous in his praise:
“Every day I see him, I am grateful to God for giving me this opportunity. I am lucky to be able to coach a talented player like Ling Feng.”
"In my opinion, he is definitely the best young player in the entire Premier League and the club's most valuable asset!"
"However, every victory in a game is a victory for the team. No matter what, Whether it was Ling Feng, Vardy, Morgan or Simpson, all the players gave 100% effort on the field. They all deserve praise and applause."
"And in this game, especially N'Golo. I'm very impressed with his performance. I think he is a very good player!"
"I am very grateful to Mr. Walsh for bringing him to the team and talking about him in my ears every day! Name"
These words also caused a burst of laughter from the reporters at the scene.
In this game, Kanter's performance in the midfield was absolutely dominant.
Whether it is the Danish genius commander Eriksen, the Belgian metronome Dembélé, or the dribbling madman Lamela, or the Belgian wing Chadli, once they enter Kante's defense zone, None of them can exert their original strength.
In this game, if Ling Feng is the key to the Blue Fox opening the door to victory, then Kante is the lock that blocks Tottenham from the door to victory!
The outstanding performance against Tottenham allowed the head coach and teammates to see the huge energy contained in Kante's body.
The coaching staff headed by Ranieri also realized that Kanter is more suitable for the team's tactical system than Inle.
Therefore, during the training after returning from vacation, Kanter replaced Inler, put on the orange vest representing the main force, and formed the starting midfielder partner with Brother Drinking Water.
Looking at the combination of Kanter and Brother Drinker, Ranieri, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but turn his head and said to the assistant coach and scout director Walsh beside him:
< br>"You are right, N'Golo may be our answer!"
Walsh, who personally brought Kanter to England, showed a proud smile.
Looking at Kanter's eyes is like looking at a peerless gem that has not yet been polished and carved, with both joy and appreciation.
For a scout, the most exciting thing is to discover potential little monsters and then let them show their dazzling light on the field!
In his opinion, Kante will become the Blue Fox's strongest shield in the midfield just like Essien of the Blues!
. . .
A few days later, this season’s Europa League draw ceremony was held at the FIFA headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland.
According to the European War points in the past five years, Leicester City, the Blue Fox, which only returned to the European War last year, is classified as a third-tier team.
Champions League regulars and Bundesliga Ruhr duo Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund are currently the two teams with the highest points among the top 48 of the Europa League. Basel, Naples, Tottenham, Ajax, Marseille, etc. are all in the first tier. Become the seed team of each group.
The second tier of teams includes Fiorentina and Lazio, two Serie A giants that reached the quarterfinals last season.
However, compared to last year, there are fewer strong teams in the Europa League this year.
In the end, Leicester City was drawn into Group B with Russian Super League team Rubin Kazan, Czech giant Plzeň Victory, and Swiss Cup champion Sion.
For Leicester City, this is definitely a great deal! These three opponents are all relatively average in strength. Qualifying from the group is just a matter of hands!
This season, Ling Feng's goal is not only the Premier League championship, but also the Europa League championship.
If he can help the Blue Fox win the first European championship in team history, then he will be able to leave the old club that has nurtured him with satisfaction and move towards a better future. Big stage!
The opponents in the group stage are relatively weak, so the team can rotate more calmly to cope with the relatively tight schedule.
This is also good news for whether the team can go further in the Europa League.
Among these teams, except for Napoli, who defeated them last season, perhaps only two or three teams such as Dortmund and Villarreal can stop him and Leicester City from winning the championship.
Of course, if Sevilla still fails to qualify from the Champions League group this season and then falls to the Europa League, Leicester City's biggest opponent for the championship will still be the "King of the Europa League" Emery. Sevilla leads the way!
For this reason, Ling Feng also made a special trip to see Sevilla's Champions League grouping.
When he saw that Sevilla was placed in the "Group of Death" with Manchester City, Juventus, and Borussia Monchengladbach, he just silently added Seville's name.
The reason is very simple. Juventus and Manchester City will definitely be able to qualify from the group. Sevilla is a bit stronger than Borussia Monchengladbach, basically locking in the third place in the group in advance.
This has also been Sevilla's strategic approach in competing for Champions League places in the past two years.
Go to the Champions League first, and then come to the Europa League to win the championship and make sure you can go to the Champions League next year to make money!
Whenever Sevilla can qualify in the Champions League group, that will be news
After the Europa League draw results were released, the winning odds of the major betting agencies were also announced:
Bundesliga giants Dortmund and Napoli, who reached the semi-finals last season, have the highest odds of winning.
Followed by Tottenham and Leicester City, the two Premier League teams.
Leicester City, who competed in the Europa League for the first time last season, made a historic appearance in the Europa League quarter-finals, showing impressive offensive firepower.
This season, Leicester City and the giant Manchester City have become the only two teams to win three consecutive games in the Premier League. Leicester City's hot state cannot be ignored.
Coupled with the more mature and tacit understanding of the Blue Fox Three Musketeers and Xia Chuang's targeted reinforcements, no one will think that the Blue Fox is a team that can be easily defeated!
The fourth round of the league.
Leicester City came to Bournemouth, a famous seaside city in southwest England, to face this season's newly promoted "Cherry Legion" Bournemouth on a sunny afternoon.
Last season, they won the English Championship and were promoted to the Premier League.
This is also the first time Bournemouth has played in the Premier League since its establishment 116 years ago!
Leading this team is the youngest head coach in the English Professional League, the talented young coach Eddie Howe.
They lost their first two games in the Premier League by one goal.
Although they lost the game, the media and fans were still very satisfied with the team's defense.
After all, this is not the English Championship, but the Premier League.
In the last round of away game against West Ham United, Bournemouth finally achieved their first Premier League victory in team history!
Unfortunately, they faced the Blue Fox who were in full form
Due to their victory over the English second division team Bury in the League Cup a few days ago, they had already used a full substitute lineup. of rotation.
In addition to this league game, there will be more than ten days of international matches.
Therefore, Leicester City played away from home, in addition to Huth taking a rest and Maguire starting, they still put on their strongest lineup.
In this game, perhaps at home, Bournemouth did not focus on defensive counterattacks like the previous two games, but took the initiative to attack.
This decision allowed Bournemouth to see what the intensity of the Premier League is!
As Bournemouth presses forward, Leicester City gets more chances to counterattack.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Ling Feng sent a through ball from the top of the center circle. Vardy, who started quickly, broke into the penalty area and was tripped by the defender, resulting in a penalty kick.
Vardy scored in one stroke and took the lead to help the team take the lead.
Ten minutes later, Mahrez played against the wall with Ling Feng on the right, dribbling the ball horizontally in the penalty area, passing the two of them, and then made a beautiful arc and went straight to Far corner of goal.
Two to zero!
Losing two goals in the first half did not make the home team fans feel uncomfortable, but they still sang the team song in the stands to cheer for the players.
In the second half, Bournemouth changed sides and fought again. Bournemouth did not retreat, but attacked even more fiercely!
For them, losing two and losing three are both losses.
It doesn’t matter if you lose, the main thing is to show momentum at home, so that other Premier League teams and fans can see their determination to stay in the Premier League!
And this
In the fifty-sixth minute, Ling Feng's corner kick caused Bournemouth to be in chaos. In the chaos, Ling Feng's shot caused a confusion among the opponent players. dragon.
The score then came to zero to three!
Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Ranieri also made a substitution at the 65th minute.
However, just as Ranieri replaced Ling Feng and Vardy, Bournemouth forward Callum Wilson scored a beautiful long-range shot from outside the penalty area.
The Cherries, who had pulled back a goal, attacked with all their strength under the command of marshal Eddie Howe!
However, the Blue Fox's defense this season has suddenly improved a lot after new coach Ranieri introduced the Italian defensive concept and strengthened the defensive hardness of the midfielder.
In the end, with the unity of everyone, Bournemouth did not allow any more goals and successfully escaped at the Dean Court Stadium
After winning the newly promoted Bournemouth, Leicester City finished with a clean sheet The advantage of winning goals overwhelms Manchester City, which has also won four consecutive games, and continues to top the league standings!
Just as everyone was surprised by the Blue Fox's explosive start to the season, the busy summer transfer window has unknowingly entered its final stage.
It is often at the last moment of the transfer window that some big deals that shock the football world happen:
For example, after long negotiations and wrangling, Manchester City finally officially announced that it will acquire Wolfs from Fortuna signed Kevin De Bruyne, Europe's most popular midfielder and German Footballer of the Year!
The transfer fee is 55 million pounds!
Such a price makes De Bruyne and Di Maria, who joined Manchester United last year, the record holders for transfer fees for Premier League signings!
Some people are optimistic about this deal, and some are not.
However, only Manchester City Club and Ling Feng know that this deal is absolutely worth the money!
With the arrival of De Bruyne, Manchester City's transfer expenditure in this summer window has reached a staggering 150 million pounds!
Seeing Manchester City sign De Bruyne, rivals Manchester United finally couldn't hold it any longer and confirmed in advance that Monaco's talented teenager Anthony Martial has confirmed to join and will soon complete the medical examination and signing.
It is said that Martial's transfer fee will be 36 million pounds, which will definitely break the world transfer fee record for players under U20 held by Luke Shaw.
In addition to the Manchester United duo holding back a big deal at the end of the transfer window, Tottenham also acquired the current Asian top brother Son Heung-min from Bayer Leverkusen in the last few days.
At this point, Tottenham's "Fantastic Four" that Ling Feng is familiar with has officially taken shape!
As for Leicester City, after observing five games, Ranieri feels that the team still lacks depth in wingers.
Ever since, the team once again resorted to the loan method, renting out the abandoned winger Nathan Dyer from Swansea, allowing him to serve as the team's substitute left winger, adding a frontcourt of rotating personnel.
And this is also the last transaction of the Blue Fox in the summer transfer window.
