Chapter 304 Serie A? No dogs are going!
Juventus was interested in him, but Ling Feng was a little unexpected.
Although they have just lost to the more powerful Barcelona in the Champions League final, it is not surprising that they want to strengthen and continue to fight for the Champions League championship.
What's more, they were also facing a phase of lineup renewal last summer.
On the forward line, Tevez returned to Boca Juniors, Llorente left for La Liga, and Morata was alone.
The midfield position has seen the biggest changes.
As Pirlo's contract expired and he left the American Major League, Vidal moved to Bayern. Juventus' strongest midfield trio composed of Pirlo, Vidal and Pogba became a member in the summer. Falling apart.
However, in the summer, they got the popular youngster Dybala as they wished, and introduced Mandzukic, Zaza, Kingsley Coman and other strikers.
In addition to Pogba, Juventus also has midfielders such as Marchisio, Khedira, Hernanes, Robert Pereira, and Sturaro. .
From the perspective of the lineup, both the forward and the midfield are very balanced and deep.
Juventus doesn't need to spend a lot of money to buy themselves!
Even if Juventus wants to sign him, he will form an upgraded version of the strongest midfield combination with Pogba and Marchisio.
But Juventus should also be able to tell from the attitude of Pogba, the team's core midfielder, that Pogba is not very interested in him.
Spending a lot of money to introduce yourself may also cause conflicts within the team with Pogba, who has been training for several years.
No need!
Therefore, this is why Ling Feng was a little surprised.
More importantly, Ling Feng doubted that Juventus could spend so much transfer fee to introduce him!
Since the "Calciopolicy" incident, Serie A, the former "Little World Cup", has begun to slowly decline.
As for the reasons for the decline, after analysis by professionals, there are probably several reasons.
First, under the general environment, Italy's economic downturn has reduced the purchasing power of teams and fans;
Second, the degree of commercialization of the league is low, and the team's income is low;
Third, the reputation has been severely damaged, the league tactics focus on defense, and frontcourt stars who prefer offense are unwilling to come;
Now There are only a handful of Serie A players who can be called superstars.
Perhaps there are only three people, Buffon, Chiellini and Pogba
According to the value update just conducted by the German transfer market, Ling Feng’s value has increased from 75 million euros , rose to 80 million euros!
If you want to win over Ling Feng, the transfer fee must be at least 80 to 90 million euros before you can even negotiate.
With Juventus’ financial resources and business philosophy, it is impossible to spend so much money to buy a 20-year-old player who has never played in Serie A.
Of course, there are no absolutes in everything.
Sure enough, when Mendes revealed Juventus's little plan, it also confirmed Ling Feng's suspicion.
"Marotta told me that Juventus does not plan to directly trigger your termination fee, but plans to wait until after the summer window to negotiate through player exchange or transfer fee installments."
Hearing this, as Ling Feng, who was once and is now a hardcore FM player, this trick is all too familiar.
Isn’t it the legendary installment method? !
Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but sneer, "Haha, they might as well wait until my contract expires and then sign with them without a visa."
With no money to buy anyone, Serie A Many wealthy families like to use visa exemption to recruit some capable little monsters and veterans.
Among them, Juventus and AC Milan are famous visa-free madmen in football!
Juventus manager Marotta is known as the number one visa-free master in football!
Compared with Milan's visa exemptions of varying levels, in recent years, under Marotta's operation, the quality of Juventus' visa exemption players every year has been guaranteed.
Cannavaro in 2009, Pirlo in 2011, Pogba in 2012, Llorente in 2013, Kingsley Coman in 2014, Khedira in 2015 .
These powerful stars are also responsible for Juventus steadily regaining its dominance in Serie A.
Hearing Ling Feng’s ridicule, Mendes also smiled and nodded in agreement: “I also think Juventus is not a good choice”
You know, Ling Feng’s current contract termination fee is 90 million pounds, equivalent to 100 million euros!
If Leicester City agrees to pay in installments over two or even three years, Juventus, the Serie A leader, can still afford it.
However, even if Juventus can really spend this huge sum of money on him, Ling Feng will not go to Juventus.
As for the reasons, there are too many:
Head coach Allegri is a mysterious man with extremely low tactical level and only knows XJBT tactics;
Teammate Pogba is a fool and doesn’t want to play with him;
The Serie A league environment is not good and the defense is too good, which is not conducive to his data;
And his reputation is low, and the media creates momentum and Poor public relations skills are not conducive to his competition for the Golden Ball;
The income in Serie A is low, and even if he joins, Juventus cannot give him a high salary.
So, in Ling Feng's plan, he never thought about joining Serie A during his career rise or peak period.
Unless he has passed his peak in his thirties and his physical functions begin to decline, he may go to Serie A to retire.
Drinking the champagne in the glass, Ling Feng then said to Mendes:
“Let’s take the transfer matter slowly. Anyway, as long as I perform well on the court, I will definitely have no worries about moving to another place.”
Hearing this, Mendes’ eyes flashed with admiration, and then he Putting his hand on Ling Feng's shoulder, he said earnestly:
"Yes, everything depends on your performance on the field! As long as you concentrate on playing football on the field, leave the rest to me!"
. . .
After the Ballon d'Or, an annual football event, Barcelona fans and Argentinian fans celebrated Messi's fifth Golden Ball with laughter.
The entire European transfer market is quiet.
Transfer transactions have always been an integral part of football.
From a player's perspective, transfer transactions can bring them better career development opportunities and higher wages.
From the club's perspective, transfer transactions can enhance the team's strength, pursue better results and honors, and also attract more fans and sponsors.
However, the winter window is in the middle of the season. Considering various factors, most of the transfers that occur in the winter window are tinkering, and there are few big-money transactions.
This year’s winter window is also particularly quiet.
In such a calm but undercurrent season, Leicester City ushered in the second league game of the New Year.
They came to London to challenge Tottenham, the "White Hart Lane Youth Army" who have performed well this season.
This season, under the leadership of young coach Pochettino, Tottenham has set off a youth storm!
After stumbling at the beginning of the season, Tottenham's team's offensive system is slowly getting ready.
The much-criticized defense was suddenly improved with the arrival of Belgian Alderweireld.
The Belgian central defender combination composed of Vertonghen and Alderweireld, one is responsible for interception, and the other is responsible for filling in the long pass.
The most important thing is that Alderweireld also has a precise long pass! And this pair of Belgian central defenders helped Tottenham become the team that conceded the fewest goals in the first half of the Premier League!
With the defense now solid, the two full-backs can provide assists with more confidence. The local advantages and routines of the frontcourt offense will naturally become more diverse.
Tottenham's two speedy full-backs have become the main boosters of the team's offense.
As Walker and Rose move along the wing, defensive midfielder Dell will retreat to the back line and form a three-back with the Belgian double central defenders. At this time, the team's tactical formation will also change from 4231 at the beginning. It will become a more aggressive 352.
It is worth mentioning that as Ali's ability to penetrate deep helped the team many times during the game, his position also advanced from the defensive midfielder all the way, and eventually became the attacking midfielder behind Kane.
It is precisely with Ali's ability to penetrate behind and hit the second point that Kane at the front also has a relatively reliable partner who can pull the defense line for him and pass the ball for him.
After not scoring a single goal in August, Kane has slowly regained his sense of scoring goals and has become Tottenham's most reliable scoring machine, helping the team steadily advance in the standings. Climb up.
Of course, he is still young and still has a lot of room for improvement.
If Tottenham wants to continue to qualify for the Champions League, they must find ways to let Kane score more goals!
However, facing the Blue Fox, who are very strong on both ends of the offense and defense this season, Tottenham's youth storm cannot be blown at home.
Ranieri knows very well that this Tottenham team relies heavily on offense from the wings.
Eriksen, in particular, is still the only midfield brain in Tottenham who can pass threatening balls.
It’s just that he came to the left wing and became a wing organizer.
Coming to the wing, he stays away from the densely defended center, gaining more space and time for passing, allowing his passing ability to be better utilized.
Whether it is feeding the ball to Kane and Alli, or cooperating with the full-back Ben Davis on the left to complete the pass
Therefore, in this game, Ranieri specially arranged for Kante to focus on Eriksen and limit the ball play of his core players, thereby achieving the goal.
And this tactical arrangement was very successful!
The playing styles of Eriksen and Ling Feng are somewhat similar. They are both modern attacking midfielders who use passing to organize the team's offense, connect teammates, and occasionally intersperse to complete the finish.
However, the physical fitness of the Danish genius is completely different from that of Ling Feng!
This is the huge gap between him and Ling Feng that cannot be filled with technology!
Ling Feng's abilities are more comprehensive.
If he is heavily targeted by his opponent, even if he has no teammates to respond to his passing, he can still use his speed and breakthrough to directly create a path for passing and progress!
But Erikson couldn't do it.
His speed and confrontation are average, and his dribbling ability is average, which cannot support him to break through like a winger.
What's more, the person defending him is the most difficult "future midfielder" Kante in the Premier League!
In the Premier League, few people can take advantage of Kante in one-on-one situations.
Because, once you are stuck by Kanter, unless you can, he will always follow you until you are forced to pass the ball out or intercept it!
On this side, Tottenham's midfield commander Eriksen is severely restricted. Every time he gets the ball, he either passes it back or kicks the ball. He doesn't dare to use the ball too much. Stay at your feet.
On the other side, Leicester City’s brainy Ling Feng is unstoppable on the court!
Even in the first twenty minutes of the game, Tottenham's ball possession rate reached 65%, but most of them were invalid back passes and cross passes.
Leicester City, on the other hand, made a very high-quality counterattack after several steals.
In the eighth minute of the game, Kanter grabbed the ball from Eriksen and handed the ball to Mahrez on the right.
The Algerian Eagle dribbled the ball along the wing. After reaching Tottenham's hinterland, he directly passed the ball across the ball and found Ling Feng who was inserted in the middle.
However, the Blue Fox No. 7's push outside the penalty area was too focused on the angle and slightly missed the goal;
In the 13th minute of the game, Leicester City completed a steal in the backcourt , Ling Feng advanced all the way to the frontcourt, and delivered a scalpel-like pass to Albrighton, who successfully resisted offside.
The latter pushed the shot into the far corner, but the ball was saved by the quick-reacting French goalkeeper Lori;
Judging from the direction of the game in the first twenty minutes, Tottenham did not create a very good opportunity.
On the contrary, the Blue Fox, playing away from home, counterattacked wave after wave, and it seemed that they were very close to scoring.
Just when the Blue Fox fans who followed the team to London thought that this game would be easily won, the situation on the field suddenly changed!
When the game came to the 23rd minute, Leicester City once again prevented Tottenham's offensive in the backcourt.
Lamela's inward shot hit Huth hard and bounced to the feet of Brother Drinking Water.
The latter raised his head and glanced ahead, then handed his kick to Ling Feng who was thrusting forward.
At this moment, Tottenham's backcourt formation is still relatively complete.
So, Ling Feng did not choose to pass the ball, but pushed forward with the ball, waiting for his teammates to move and occupy space, looking for opportunities to break through or pass the ball.
And Dell, the last barrier in front of Tottenham's defense, did not rush forward rashly, but retreated again and again.
In the national team, as a substitute midfielder, Dell often faced off with Ling Feng in team training matches.
Therefore, he knew very well that as long as he grabbed or made a move, Ling Feng would kill him!
Finally, Ling Feng found it and sent a direct kick to the ground, finding Mahrez who was penetrating from the ribs.
The latter was just about to catch the ball in the penalty area when he felt a figure rushing towards him.
Without any hesitation, he stretched out his left foot first and flicked the ball outward. .
This move happened to allow the ball to pass by Vertonghen's feet.
The next second, Vertonghen was like a truck that couldn't stop, knocking Mahrez to the ground!
With a scream of "ah", Mahrez fell hard into the penalty area.
Ling Feng and Ulloa, who witnessed this scene with their own eyes, subconsciously opened their arms and complained to the referee:
"Hey! Foul!"
"This is a penalty kick!"
However, the referee Atkinson did not pay attention to it. Instead, he waved his hands and made the penalty very firmly.
No penalties!
The Tottenham players did not stop because Mahrez fell in their penalty area.
Vertonghen made a direct pass and handed the ball to Walker, who was advancing at high speed from the right.
The latter dribbled the ball forward and then sent a cross.
Kane, who was leaning on Huth with his back, knocked the ball back directly. Ali stepped in and fired a blast from outside the penalty area!
There was only a "bang" sound, and the ball shot out. With lightning speed, it flew directly between the two central defenders Morgan and Huth and hit the upper right corner of the goal.
Even if Schmeichel made a flying dive, he could not prevent the ball from getting into the net.
