Chapter 300 No, Ah Hu, are you serious? !
The day after Leicester City defeated Manchester City, the covers of all major and small media were dominated by Leicester City and Ling Feng.
Especially Ling Feng’s goal, as soon as it was released, it quickly became a popular video on YouTube!
In less than half a day, the number of views exceeded one million!
After watching the whole process of scoring the goal, many people were shocked and shouted "Kaka is possessed"!
But the Blue Fox fans came to the video comment area with great pride and started making jokes:
“Fans of the Premier League’s top team come and see what’s going on.”
"Kaka? He's just called Xiao Lingfeng!"
"Do you understand the gold content of Dai Ying's eukaryotic core?!"
The media and football experts also started a new discussion Crazy praise for the wheel.
After all, Ling Feng's dominant performance in the past two league games has amazed everyone.
In the absence of top scorer Vardy, the Blue Fox No. 7, as the star player, scored decisive goals in two strong dialogues against Liverpool and Manchester City.
Two games, three goals, full of fun to watch!
A super long-range shot that waves the world, a world-class stop and calm push, and a 50-meter long-distance run to attack one dragon!
It is no exaggeration to say that he single-handedly led the team to defeat the two Premier League giants, Liverpool and Manchester City!
These two games allowed the world to see the 20-year-old English genius in action
This season, his offensive statistics are among the best in the league.
First in the league in assists!
Eighth in the league for goals scored!
No. 1 in the league in number of threatening passes!
Ranked third in the league in dribble success rate!
Ling Feng’s progress this season is obvious to all.
In terms of offense, he can not only pass threatening balls, get rid of them on the spot, and push forward, but he can also hit the goal with long shots and break through from the wing
Even on the defensive end, He also used extraordinary anticipation and speed, combined with active running, to make up for his lack of defensive awareness.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ling Feng can now be called a hexagonal warrior!
Many media believe that Ling Feng's existence is the reason why Leicester City is firmly at the top of the league and even has the opportunity to touch the first Premier League championship trophy in team history!
Opening the league standings, looking at the blue fox at the top of the list with a 19-point lead, fans of the other 19 Premier League teams couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement:< br>
No, Ahu, are you serious? !
Could it be said that they are really going to witness a miracle this season that is comparable to the myth of Kaiserslautern? !
After the game against Manchester City, it’s New Year’s Eve.
It was also the first time that Ling Feng invited Barbara home for the New Year, and then spent a warm night with his family and girlfriend.
For Ling Feng, 2015, which is about to pass, will be a year of great strides in his career.
In addition to helping newly promoted Leicester City reach fifth place in the league and the quarterfinals of the Europa League, he also won many personal honors.
The best newcomer in the Premier League, the single-season assists leader in Premier League history, and a candidate for the Ballon d'Or.
In just two years, he went from a young player in the British Championship youth team to a Today's Golden Globe potential stock and the first person of the new generation!
Such an astonishing rising speed is rare in the world!
People can't help but think of the "alien" Ronaldo who won the World Footballer of the Year in just two years after officially landing in the five major leagues!
Some people have even begun to speculate that if they continue to maintain such a terrifying growth rate, in the near future, they may be able to see Ling Feng lift the golden ball like Ronaldo!
. . .
The first day of the new year.
It is also the first day that the winter window opens.
Rudkin, the football director, had just returned to the base office. As soon as he turned on his computer, a large number of email notifications popped up in his mailbox.
When he opened the mailbox and looked at it, Rudkin's good mood was suddenly ruined, and his face darkened.
Nothing else, just because of the content of these emails, they are all inquiries or quotes from other clubs for Blue Fox players!
Not only Ling Feng, but players such as Vardy, Mahrez, Albrighton, Kante, and Brother Drinkwater are almost all targeted by other clubs.
This kind of scene is not uncommon.
Whenever a small team performs unexpectedly well and its players perform well, it will be coveted by other big clubs.
Southampton is a living example!
For two consecutive seasons, it has been dismembered. Not only most of the core players, but also the head coach have been poached.
Liverpool has directly treated Southampton as a supermarket, purchasing goods here for two consecutive seasons!
What's more, Leicester City is so strong this season that it can be said to be the best in the league standings.
Other rivals for the title could not defeat them on the court, so they had to resort to other means.
For example, poaching!
Of course other Premier League clubs know that with Ling Feng’s current worth and performance, even 100 million won’t be able to defeat him.
Even so, they still sent inquiries and offers to Leicester City.
Just like those customers who go to a luxury store to buy something. They have no money in their pockets, but they just want to ask how much the most expensive item in the store costs.
The purpose of this is to determine the mentality of Leicester City and the players.
In this way, it will be able to disrupt Leicester City's military morale to some extent.
Psychological warfare is also a very important part of the professional football world.
Faced with this situation, Rudkin could only curse "these hyenas" in his heart, then Picked up the phone on the desk and dialed the secretary's number:
"Inform Steve and Claudio to wait for me in the conference room, let's have a meeting!"
After the meeting, Leicester City club executives and the head coach agreed that no one should be allowed to leave in the winter window. Players leave!
All transfers must wait until the end of the season!
. . .
On the second day of the opening of the winter window, it is also the second day of 2016.
Leicester City ushered in the last game of this hellish schedule, hosting the newly promoted "Cherry Legion" Bournemouth.
This season, Bournemouth, under the leadership of young coach Eddie Howe, is temporarily ranked 16th, above the relegation zone.
However, they are not completely indifferent to human flesh.
Although it suffered a bloodbath from strong teams such as Manchester City, Tottenham, and Leicester City.
But it also contributed to the away victory against the "Hammer Gang" West Ham United, which has repeatedly overturned the giants this season, and the wonderful performances against mid-to-upper-tier teams such as Everton and Swansea.
In the first round match between the two sides, Leicester City defeated their opponent 1-3 away from home.
Back at home, the Leicester City soldiers are also full of confidence.
After successively defeating the powerful players in the league, the morale and confidence of the Blue Fox players have reached a peak.
They have built up a strong self-confidence that "no matter who comes, I will beat you down"!
At the press conference, Bournemouth coach Eddie Howe also expressed his respect for Leicester City:
"The King Power Stadium can definitely be called the devil's home ground! I think any team that comes here to play must be very energetic!"
"If we want to score points at this stadium, we must You must go all out!" Speaking of Eddie Howe, this old man's coaching performance this season has been unanimously recognized by the media.
In 2009, the former Bournemouth youth training and star became the coach of Bournemouth.
He was only thirty-two years old at that time!
In his first season coaching the team, he led Bournemouth, who started the season with a minus-17 points, to successfully avoid relegation and avoid the team being relegated to the non-professional league.
The following season, he led Bournemouth from League Two to League One.
Afterwards, he went to Burnley to coach briefly, but soon returned to Bournemouth and led the team to two consecutive promotions within three years, making Bournemouth the first team in history. Appearing on the stage of England's top league for the first time!
It can be said that Bournemouth's situation is somewhat similar to that of the "Saints" Southampton.
Considering that the opponent is not very strong, and the fact that they only played two days ago After the fierce battle with Manchester City, the team's main players consumed a lot of physical energy.
Therefore, in addition to Ling Feng and goalkeeper Schmeichel, Ranieri carried out extensive rotations, and all substitute players got starting opportunities!
Ranieri actually thought about letting Ling Feng take a rest.
However, after seeing that Ling Feng's physical condition was still not obviously fatigued, he also decided to let Ling Feng start.
After all, as the team's star player, as long as Ling Feng is on the court, the entire team has a backbone, and the substitute players feel much more at ease.
Playing at home, Leicester City played steadily and defended first.
Bournemouth was also afraid of the Blue Fox's counterattack and did not dare to attack, but only conducted some tentative attacks.
As a result, the pace of both sides was relatively slow in the first half and the game ended in a goalless draw.
In the second half, perhaps because the New Year had just passed, the players were not too excited.
It wasn’t until the 83rd minute that the deadlock was broken!
Ling Feng suddenly moved to the right, then used his speed to get down the bottom and then sent an inverted triangle pass.
Andy King, who stepped in from behind, fired a shot, but it was saved by the goalkeeper.
Fortunately, Ulloa, who was ambushing in the penalty area, rushed out immediately and gave the team a headbutt to help the team take the lead!
Seeing the full-back being souped up mercilessly, Eddie Howe on the sidelines couldn't help but shout to the full-back:
"Follow him!"
"One person is not enough, just two people will follow!"
Facing the coach's call, the Bournemouth players on the field just looked at each other and couldn't help but complain in their hearts:
Coach, I can't do this!
With Ling Feng's current speed and dribbling ability, dealing with the full-backs of newly promoted teams in the Premier League is basically a matter of crushing them.
This is a huge gap in strength, which cannot be filled with fighting spirit and spirit.
And Ulloa's supplementary shot was the only goal in the game!
Even though Bournemouth pressed forward at the last minute, they were unable to equalize the score.
It is worth mentioning that Maguire, the "aircraft carrier" who made his debut in this game, performed well and turned into an aerial bully, repeatedly clearing the opponent's long passes and crosses.
In the post-match rating, he also received a high score of 7.5, second only to Ulloa who scored the goal.
Although Ling Feng, who played the entire game, did not score a goal or assist, he was able to tear apart his opponent thanks to his organization and dispatch in the midfield and his breakthroughs on the wing. The defense created goals.
After defeating Bournemouth, the Blue Fox's lead did not widen further.
Because rivals Manchester City and Arsenal both won.
In this regard, Ranieri told his disciples not to pay attention to the wins or losses of other competitors.
Because, if they want to win the championship, they cannot expect their opponents to fall behind. We must play our own game well!
After all, they have their destiny firmly in their hands!
It is worth mentioning that at the post-match press conference, in the face of the transfer scandals surrounding the Blue Fox, Ranieri said very strongly:
"I can guarantee that we will never lose any players in this winter window!"
"So, other clubs can save their efforts and stop sending us emails."
>This statement is obviously a positive response to those clubs who want to poach players.
Don’t touch it, we don’t sell it!
Of course, in addition to ensuring the team's main lineup structure, the Blue Fox's recruitment department headed by Walsh has also begun operations in the winter window.
Although they established a 19-point lead in the league in the first half of the season.
However, they are about to face a multi-front battle in the second half of the season. Whether they can maintain their top position until the end of the season is unknown.
After all, a long league is a marathon.
Until the last moment, no one knows whether the first person to cross the finish line will be Ranieri and his disciples.
Even though they are already several positions ahead of other competitors!
As a football veteran who has taught for many years, Ranieri has seen too many small teams try to compete for the championship on all fronts due to insufficient lineup depth and greed, but in the end they failed to achieve success.
Sometimes, the choice is really important!
In his opinion, the team definitely has a very high possibility of winning the league.
So, he definitely doesn’t want the team’s good situation to win the league to be dragged down by multi-front battles, which will eventually lead to all four major losses.
To this end, Ranieri convened an internal meeting to bring all players together.
Then he told his disciples that the team's primary goal this season is to win the Premier League championship!
As for the League Cup and Europa League, they are both secondary.
He will rotate the players based on their physical fitness and competitive status.
The subtext of this sentence is that the main players may not necessarily be allowed to play in these two cup competitions!
In this regard, the Blue Fox soldiers, including Ling Feng, all expressed their understanding.
Compared with the first Premier League championship in team history, the League Cup and Europa League are all inferior.
For professional players who play for the club, the gold content of the league championship is always much higher than that of the cup championship.
Unless the cup winner is the Champions League winner!
Of course, the League Cup has reached the semi-finals, so it is a pity to abandon it;
The Europa League has also reached the knockout rounds, which can also bring revenue to the club and expand the team's influence. European competitions.
If possible, he certainly hopes to win as many championships as he can.
In other words, if they want to maintain their lead in the league until the end, and also compete for championships as much as possible in the League Cup and Europa League, they must make reasonable rotations in order to Ensure the physical fitness of the main force.
Therefore, they must continue to strengthen their existing lineup!
