Chapter 292 Eat Ivan alive and play tricks on Terry!
Sky Sports’ follow-up shooting is just a small episode in the daily life of Leicester City soldiers.
Their attention is still on the training ground and tactical room.
At the weekend, they are about to face their strongest opponent so far this season at the King Power Stadium.
That is the defending champion - Chelsea!
However, the invincible Blues team that set the top record last season has experienced a Waterloo-like decline this season.
After fifteen rounds, Chelsea has a poor record of only 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses, ranking sixteenth in the league, only one point above the relegation zone!
The core players in the team are all in a sluggish state and have no form at all.
In the last round, they had just lost an upset to newly promoted Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.
No one is shocked anymore.
Because the Blues have lost too many games this season.
You know, last season they only lost three games all season.
And now in only fifteen rounds, they have lost eight games!
Blues fans have also felt numb and even desperate.
And in this round of the game, we encountered the Blue Fox who was in explosive condition,
Before the game, most people believed that Chelsea's current state would not be able to stop the Blue Fox from moving forward!
After a season of hard work in the Premier League, the Blue Fox continues to gallop wildly in the Premier League.
The players on the team burst out with amazing energy and played frightening football.
On the defensive end, everyone's pressing in the frontcourt is full of aggression.
As soon as the opponent enters their own half-court territory, the nearby Blue Fox players will rush to grab it.
Even after losing the ball, they will immediately counterattack on the spot to slow down the opponent's counterattack, thereby changing the formation
On the offensive end, every counterattack they make is like a performance of speed and speed on the court. It's so passionate that it's both pleasing to the eye and exciting to watch.
Of course, this attack that pierces the opponent's heart is thanks to the fact that they have the Blue Fox Three Musketeers composed of three top players, Ling Feng, Vardy and Mahrez!
The three people's tacit understanding and cooperation have gone further this season. They have repeatedly played exquisite passing and receiving cooperation, and it is common for each other to assist each other.
As of the fifteenth round of this season, Ling Feng has scored nine goals, Vardy has scored fifteen goals, and Mahrez has scored seven goals. The three of them have scored a terrifying thirty-one goals together. They have become The Trident has the strongest offensive firepower in the Premier League and even in the entire five major leagues!
Thirty-one goals accounted for more than 70% of the team's goals!
This number is even more than the goals scored by the entire team of the three giants Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool!
This shows how good Leicester City’s offense is this season!
In the opinion of many football commentators and experts, the Blue Fox at home will definitely be able to defeat the Blues!
In Ling Feng’s view, the current Blues are no longer the Blues that were in good shape last season.
And the current Blue Fox is no longer the Blue Fox that could only rely on offense instead of defense last year.
One is the defending champion who has fallen into a trough, and the other is the future champion who is on the rise!
Whether it is state, morale, or fighting spirit, the Blue Fox completely defeated the Blue Army!
The direction of the game was just as everyone expected:
The Blues could not stop the Blue Fox from making history at the King Power Stadium!
In this game, Mourinho, who was troubled by the team's record and off-field lawsuits, continued to use the 4231 formation.
The biggest change in the starting lineup is that the sluggish midfield commander Cesc Fabregas is on standby, and Brazilian international Ramirez takes his place.
Obviously, Mourinho is also very afraid of Leicester City's sharp counterattack.
That’s why Ramirez, who has stronger defensive ability, was chosen to start in the defensive midfielder position, so as to avoid being directly broken through the entire midfield by Ling Feng during the transition between offense and defense to complete a shot or score.
Matic and Ramirez, who can defend and intercept, and cover more areas, are definitely one of the toughest midfielder combinations in the Premier League.
It's a pity that Ling Feng did not foolishly confront these two brothers who regarded him as a thorn in his side. Instead, after the opening, he frequently changed positions with Albrighton on the left!
When he comes to the wing, he can not only avoid the entanglement of Matic and Ramirez in the center, but also gain more room for breakthrough.
To put it bluntly, he has made it clear that he does not follow martial ethics!
I plan to use my speed to bully the Serbian captain who is nearly a round older than me and whose condition has declined significantly!
Of course, this change of position was not Ling Feng’s whim, but one of Ranieri’s pre-match tactical arrangements.
As the core of the team's instigation and counterattack, Ling Feng will inevitably be heavily targeted in the middle.
So, before the game, Ranieri reminded Ling Feng to change positions with Albrighton on the left during the game.
Then blast from the wing and tear open Chelsea's defense!
Compared to Cesar Azpilicueta, who plays a guest role at left back, Ivanovic's physical function has declined significantly, and he is definitely a breakthrough in Chelsea's defense.
In the seventeenth minute of the game, the Blue Fox, playing at home, took the lead in attacking!
With Mahrez's breakthrough, the Blue Fox got a corner kick opportunity on the right side of the frontcourt.
The cross passed by Ling Feng was flat and fast, with an outward arc, and it accurately found his man wearing the blue jersey.
Huth in the penalty area overpowered Blues captain Terry and headed the ball into the goal!
Speaking of which, Huth came to the Chelsea echelon when he was sixteen years old.
Also when Mourinho coached Chelsea for the first time, he got a lot of playing time and gradually emerged in the Premier League and even the German national team.
At that time, many people believed that this tall young German central defender would become Terry's best partner.
Unfortunately, with the arrival of Mourinho’s disciple in Porto, Ricardo Carvalho, and his own shortcomings, Huth ultimately failed to stay in the highly competitive Chelsea.
However, this header seems to be in response to Chelsea and Mourinho’s decision to give up on themselves ten years ago. It was a mistake!
The powerful header gave this game a good start!
In less than twenty minutes, Chelsea's defense was breached!
Mourinho was obviously very dissatisfied with this.
He immediately rushed to the sideline and started shouting to the players:
"Please! Guys! You should be tougher!"
"Don't let him get it. The first point!”
However, with the poor record and the off-field turmoil caused by the team’s medical scandal, many players in the team have become more or less concerned about the coaching methods of the best coach in history. Few feel dissatisfied.
In addition, after winning the championship last year, the team's ambition is not that great.
Therefore, even though he kept shouting from the sidelines, no one of the Blues players on the field responded to him, they just lowered their heads silently, as if they had lost the game.
Mourinho, standing on the sidelines, was like a lone hero fighting against the entire Leicester City, alone.
Behind him, there is a blue ocean composed of Blue Fox fans.
. .
"In this game, the Blue Fox completely dominated the game!"
"Ranieri's tactical arrangement of letting Ling Feng play as a sideline was simply a stroke of genius." "The youngest assist leader in the Premier League in history On the left, he frequently creates murderous opportunities."
When the game came to the 43rd minute, Leicester City played efficient cooperation and switched positions with Albrighton to the left. Ling Feng, who was on the road, put on a good show of blasting from the wing.
Facing the double defense of veteran "Terror Ivan" Ivanovic and Ramirez, Ling Feng, who was advancing with the ball on the left wing, unceremoniously made soup and passed the ball directly for several seconds. meters away.
Then he kicked his feet, and like a blue lightning, he accelerated from the outside, and then started eating raw!
Even though Ivanovich subconsciously turned around and stretched out his hand to block Ling Feng's progress, he used all his strength to chase after him, but it was to no avail. He could only watch Ling Feng's figure getting worse and worse. Far
This scene made many viewers in front of the TV not only think of Bale's performance of Fast and Furious at White Hart Lane, but also repeatedly defeated Maicon, who was known as "the world's best left-back". Famous scene!
Although Ivan is not as famous as Maicon for his speed, in terms of status in football, "Ivan the Terrible" is definitely as famous as Maicon!
After successfully eating raw and being one position ahead of Ivanovic, Ling Feng dribbled the ball towards Chelsea's hinterland without hesitation.
Due to his normal left foot and past game habits, both Ivanovic and Terry, who came over to defend, thought Ling Feng was going to cut in with his right foot.
And Ling Feng did choose to cut in laterally and brought the ball to the front of the penalty area.
However, just when everyone thought he was going to shoot into the far corner, Blue Fox No. 7 made a gesture to shoot, and then slammed his right foot to the left, shaking Terry and almost twisting his body. While breaking the old waist, he went directly to the left side of the penalty area!
Seeing Ling Feng staring in the direction of the goal, preparing to shoot, Terry, who turned around and chased after him, rushed in front of him without hesitation, and then went straight to the ground with a sliding tackle.
Trying to use his body to expand the blocking area and block Ling Feng's shooting angle from the far corner.
At the same time, Courtois in front of the goal also opened his arms and moved to the near corner of the goal as if facing a formidable enemy.
However, what neither Terry nor Courtois expected was that Ling Feng’s left foot was still a fake move!
Allowing Terry to slip out of the baseline, Ling Feng dunked the ball with his left foot. At the same time as he dunked the ball back, he flicked the outer instep of his right foot, and the ball was inverted and reached near the penalty spot. area.
“What?!”
“He didn’t shoot, he passed the ball!”
At the same time, Mahrez, who had reached the middle of the road at an unknown time, cut in at high speed, and without being marked, pushed the ball towards the ball and sent the ball into the lower corner of the goal very cleanly!
Two fake shots and real dunks in a row, deceiving Terry, the former best central defender in the Premier League, twice in an almost playful way, and finally gave him a chance to eat cake in front of the goal without any difficulty.
Ling Feng used his superhuman speed and burst on the wing to help the team expand the score to two goals!
At this moment, Ling Feng opened his arms to welcome his teammates, like a god descending from heaven, looking radiant.
Ranieri on the sidelines also applauded his disciples with a smile on his face.
In sharp contrast, not far away is the "madman" Mourinho with his arms crossed and a serious expression.
This time, he didn’t yell at his disciples, nor did he call any of the players to the sidelines to give them advice.
First of all, he already had a hunch in his heart that he might have lost control of this team.
Secondly, there is nothing to criticize about this goal at all.
Two defensive players, Ivanovic has done everything he can do, and so has Terry, even throwing his entire body out.
There is no problem with Courtois' position.
If you want to blame it, you can only blame Ling Feng’s personal ability for being so explosive that he couldn’t defend himself at all!
“This kid’s progress is so amazing.”
Recalling the scene when he first met Ling Feng, Mourinho was filled with emotion.
At that time, although Ling Feng was just starting out, he was already able to bring victory to the team with his passing.
Last year, this kid was no longer just a passer who used passes to organize series offenses, and began to show off his amazing speed.
And this year, he has developed two major skills: dribbling and powerful free kicks!
In just two years, this black-haired boy has become stronger and more comprehensive.
Central dispatch, dribbling, blasting from the wing, and powerful free kicks
But the state and performance are as stable and outstanding as ever!
In this Blue Fox No. 7, Mourinho couldn't help but think of the omnipotent Real Madrid No. 7.
In his eyes, Ling Feng's talent and speed of improvement are even more terrifying than Ronaldo!
After all, Ronaldo played in the Premier League for three or four years before he truly approached the level of Premier League MVP.
But this black-haired boy, within two years, has become the focus of every team in the Premier League!
Immediately, he turned to look at Azar, who was not far away with his head bowed and his hands on his hips, and his brows involuntarily frowned deeper.
Some people are talented but still work hard.
And some people are talented but lazy.
In this game, compared to Ling Feng’s demands and requests from Ivan on the wing, his performance shined throughout the game. Hazard, who was elected as the Premier League MVP by Ling Feng, is in a very sluggish state.
Having just recovered from an injury not long ago, his whole body looks very heavy. His repeated personal breakthroughs on the left wing are not as sharp as last season and look very clumsy.
Even during the halftime break, he was replaced by Pedro due to calf muscle discomfort.
At halftime, Mourinho gave a lecture in the locker room and made tactical changes.
In the second half, Chelsea, already two goals behind, began to launch a fierce attack.
However, compared to last season, the Blue Fox's defense is much better this season.
The ubiquitous Kante, and the more coordinated Morgan and Huth, stifled Chelsea's offense time and time again.
On the contrary, the Blue Fox once again seized an opportunity, and Mahrez sent a wonderful long pass to help Vardy enter the penalty area and kill the game with a blast!
Even at the last moment of the game, Pedro scored a face-saving goal with a shot from outside the penalty area, but it could not change the result of the team's defeat.
In the end, with two assists from Ling Feng and goals from Huth, Mahrez, and Vardy, Leicester City defeated the defending champion Chelsea with a score of 3 to 1 at home. , continue to extend his unbeaten record in the league!
Beep~Beep~~Beep~~~
As soon as the game ended, Mourinho shook hands with Ranieri with a serious face, then turned and left.
Then, just before entering the entrance of the players' tunnel, he suddenly stopped and turned around.
Glancing at Ling Feng who was hugging and celebrating with his teammates on the field, Mourinho couldn't help but have a thought in his mind:
If he had used all the club's resources in the summer window last year, The strength and resources to sign Ling Feng.
Will the current situation be completely different? !
The only thing he is sure of is that if he had signed Ling Feng last year, the situation would have been much better than now.
At least after Hazard lost his magic this season, his team still has a top player who can single-handedly change the situation!
As long as his performance on the court is outstanding, all public opinions off the court will be directed towards him.
The media will not be so arrogant in front of him, and he will not lose the support of the club.
Thinking of this, Mourinho already has a plan in mind:
If there is a next time, if there is a chance, he will sign Ling Feng without hesitation!
