Chapter 308 The biggest deal in the winter window!
As the white net rippled, the King Power Stadium suddenly began to boil!
Immediately afterwards, Ling Feng rushed to the corner flag area with excitement on his face and performed a handsome sliding kneel.
The home team fans in the stands waved their scarves and celebrated with red faces:
"Yes! He did it!"
"Ling Feng! You are so awesome on horseback!"
"Ling, you are my god!"
Yes!
This man did not disappoint them!
Ling Feng once again turned the tide and saved the team on the edge of the cliff.
If the game ends with this score, they will reach the League Cup final for the first time in team history!
The fans of the visiting team put their heads in their hands and looked in disbelief.
This ball is too fast? !
Just one kick not only penetrated their goal, but also shattered their efforts and their dream of reaching the final!
Some of the Everton players on the field were blank-eyed and looking at each other; some simply slumped to the ground and lost their fighting spirit.
They knew that this goal had completely killed the game
Looking at Ling Feng surrounded by his teammates, Lukaku raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and couldn't help but complain in his heart:
"Nangu! This biang kid is obviously two years younger than me, why is he so strong?!"
After Ling Feng scored this wonderful goal, stoppage time There is not much time left.
Everton's players, even if they tried hard to attack after another kick-off, failed to change the score again.
In the end, the score was fixed at 1-2!
With Ling Feng’s free kick in stoppage time, Leicester City defeated Everton with a total score of 3 to 2 and entered this season’s League Cup final!
After the game, Lukaku, who made great passes and shots in this game, also took the initiative to find Ling Feng and wanted to exchange jerseys with him.
Last season, he was very envious of Ling Feng's passing skills and thought it would be great to be his teammate.
You know, in the current Everton team, except for Barkley and Baynes, the passing skills of others can only be said to be average.
Due to Baynes' injury this season, the team does not have a hot spot for assists from the wing, and Lukaku receives much less support in the frontcourt.
Even so, he still became the player with the most assists in Everton through his intimidating power in the frontcourt!
It can be said that at Everton, he not only has to score goals, but also provides support for his teammates. He is simply a father and a mother!
This is why he envies Vardy, Mahrez and others every time he sees Ling Feng.
Originally, in his impression, Ling Feng was a very selfless passing master who would even put cakes in the mouths of his teammates.
However, in just one season, he discovered that Ling Feng could not only pass deadly threats, but also make soup from the wing, dribble forward in the middle, and even blast the goal from thirty or forty meters away!
The power of that shot was simply stronger than his idol Adriano!
It’s so scary!
So, Lu Hanhan was impressed by Ling Feng's strength and asked directly to his face:
"Um, man, why are you so powerful in shooting? How do you practice?"< br>
Facing Lukaku's curious eyes, Ling Feng smiled slightly and said, "Want to learn?"
Hearing this, Lukaku immediately nodded crazily like a primary school student eager to learn.
“After I get up every morning, I watch Batty’s shooting highlights over and over again and imitate his shooting style. Then after training, I practice long-range shooting for half an hour”
While nodding and recording these contents in his mind, Lukaku suddenly realized that Ling Feng had finished speaking.
“Um, is it that simple?”
"Any simple thing will become not simple as long as you persist in doing it. Isn't it?"
As soon as these words came out, Lukaku couldn't help but blinked his eyes, showing a look that seemed to understand.
Although he didn’t understand it, he didn’t understand it!
So, Lukaku still gave a thumbs up to the generous Ling Feng, and gave his first like after the game to this opponent who was willing to share his experience in getting stronger!
This guy can handle it!
Later, Lukaku also shook hands and hugged Ling Feng, exchanged contact information in the player tunnel, and made an appointment to play games online together in the future.
Ling Feng did not refuse.
When Ling Feng accepted the post-match interview and returned to the locker room, he was pulled to the center of the locker room by Vardy, and then, like an attendant of a nobleman, he introduced to everyone in a serious manner:< br>
"Attention! Our free kick master is back, everyone get out of the way!"
And everyone cooperated very well to make way for the space in the middle, even Maguire was pretending
"Your Excellency, welcome back!"
"Your Excellency, please say a few words."
Facing the ridiculing eyes of everyone, Ling Feng also puffed up his chest and opened his arms:
"Guys, we are in the finals!"
The next second, the Blue Fox generals exploded.
"Yes!!!"
Immediately afterwards, everyone sang "Song of Lingfeng" in the locker room and jumped up and shouted:
"Final, we are here !”
“Yes! Baby!”
Although the process was a bit ups and downs, it can even be described as frightening.
But the result was as expected by the outside world. The Blue Fox, who dominated the league, also successfully reached the final of the League Cup.
On the other side, in the second leg of another semi-final, Manchester City and Liverpool also decided the winner.
Due to the team’s centre-back Mangala being injured by Ling Feng in the match against Leicester City, and the lack of captain Kompany, Manchester City, which faced a shortage of centre-backs, ultimately lost to Liverpool, who fought on a single line. , was blocked from the finals.
Therefore, the League Cup champion will be decided between Leicester City, led by the Three Musketeers of the Blue Fox, and Liverpool, which specializes in rock and roll football!
Seeing Leicester City unknowingly reach the League Cup final, the outside world also began to discuss the possibility of Leicester City achieving a double crown this season!
The league lead is huge, and the League Cup final will be held at the end of February, which means that Leicester City has a high enough error tolerance to compete for the first League Cup championship trophy in team history!
The League Cup match against Everton is Leicester City's last game in January.
And the winter window has quietly come to the last day.
Throughout the past winter window, there were no eye-catching transfers in the five major leagues. There are only a handful of transfers worth tens of millions.
However, what everyone did not expect was that the most important transfer occurred on the night of the transfer window deadline.
However, it is not the players who are transferred, but the coach!
February 1st, that night.
Manchester City dropped an atomic bomb to the entire football world:
“We are very pleased to announce that the club has reached an agreement with current Bayern Munich coach Josep Guardiola. Will sign for three years. This summer, after his contract with Bayern Munich expires, Mr. Guardiola will become the new coach of the Blue Moon Army! ”
According to media reports, Guardiola's annual salary will reach 18 million pounds, the highest in the football coaching world!
Once this news broke, it immediately detonated the entire European football world!
You know, Guardiola is one of the best top coaches in recent years.
Led Barcelona to a historic six-time crown, and then led Bayern to continue to dominate the Bundesliga. Guardiola is the helmsman that all giants want.
Compared with the heated discussions among the media and football experts, Manchester City fans directly
Although Pellegrini just led the team to win the second Premier League championship trophy in the club's history last season.
But in the past two seasons, the team's performance in the critical stages of the championship has disappointed fans very much.
Led by Chelsea last season, but beaten by Leicester City this season.
And the team's performance on the Champions League stage has not made much breakthrough.
Both the fans and the club's senior management feel that it is time to make changes.
And all along, the Abu Dhabi consortium behind Manchester City has been chasing Guardiola.
Now, they finally got what they wanted!
However, in the middle of the season when the current coach is still doing well, a wealthy club announces the candidate for the new coach for next season.
Even in the football world where there are a lot of weird things and strange things, this is a rare operation.
Whether the club cares about the feelings of Manchester City coach Pellegrini or not, just from the official announcement of Guardiola's action in advance for next season, we can see how much Manchester City values Guardiola!
Guardiola's determination to "conquer" the Premier League also hit it off with Manchester City.
“I want to coach in the Premier League. This is the only reason why I did not renew my contract with Bayern!”
In the subsequent interview, Guardiola answered this way when being interviewed by reporters road.
Manchester City's shocking operation has also attracted close attention from its rivals in the same city.
Seeing that the "noisy neighbor" in Ferguson's words is getting better and better, and then seeing the decline of their own club, Manchester United fans suddenly feel that there is no hope in life.
However, the good news is that they may also be welcoming a new coach this summer!
According to media reports, Manchester United executives are very dissatisfied with Van Gaal's leadership performance and style, and plan to recruit a new head coach.
Among the many candidates, "Madman" Mourinho, who just resigned from Chelsea this season, has become the most popular!
According to friends around Mourinho, the madman is also looking forward to coaching Manchester United.
Seeing that Manchester City officially announced the signing of Guardiola, many Red Devils fans also flocked to the club’s social media and official website, leaving messages such as “Sign Mourinho!” and “We also need a new player. Coach!" and other comments.
The old "Guan Mu Xiang Wang" in La Liga is still talked about by the majority of fans.
If Mourinho really becomes the new coach of Manchester United, and the "Muslim-to-Muslim relationship" in La Liga is moved to the British arena, then the two people who have been exaggerated by the media as "lifelong rivals" The head coach will perform again in the Manchester City Derby!
Thinking about such a fateful peak showdown makes people excited!
For Leicester City, Manchester City’s decision is good news.
Because, after being held to a one-to-one draw by Liverpool at home, they ushered in their second showdown with Manchester City in the league in the twenty-fifth round of the league.
Perhaps due to the off-field impact of the coaching change, both Pellegrini and the Manchester City players seemed absent-minded.
In the end, the Blue Fox easily won the Blue Moon at the Etihad Stadium, completing a season double against Manchester City!
Ling Feng also relied on providing an assist to Vardy during the game, once again reaching the 20th assist count in the league!
And Vardy also scored his 20th goal in the league this season, continuing to beat Lukaku, Kane, Aguero and other super strikers, and firmly topped the scorer list!
In the devilish schedule in early February, the Blue Fox, which mainly attacks the league, has played against the three giant teams of Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal.
Under the leadership of the Blue Fox Three Musketeers led by Ling Feng, Leicester City showed tenacious fighting spirit and excellent competitive state, achieving an unbeaten record of one win and two draws.
Tottenham, second in the league, fought hard to catch up and narrowed the gap to 15 points with an impressive record of three consecutive victories.
There are still thirteen rounds left in the league, and the 15-point gap is still a huge gap!
The good state of the league allows Ranieri and Leicester City to temporarily breathe a sigh of relief, and then shift their attention from the league to the upcoming Europa League knockout rounds.
And their opponent in the first knockout round is Augsburg in the Bundesliga!
The 2014-15 season was a season where dark horses emerged one after another.
In addition to the super newly promoted Leicester City in the Premier League and Genoa in Serie A, there are also two super dark horses in the Bundesliga who have performed unexpectedly and stunningly and achieved a counterattack in the rankings!
Under the even more dazzling light of Wolfsburg, which once threatened Bayern's championship, Augsburg is led by Germany's once great midfield genius Bernd Schuster. , also defeated the powerful teams such as Dortmund and Schalke 04, and achieved the best result in team history of fifth place in the league!
This is also the first time in team history that this small team has qualified for the European competition since its establishment in 1907!
This season, although Augsburg has been dragged down by two-front operations, resulting in a poor league record.
However, they still carved a bloody path on the European stage.
In Group L where Athletic Bilbao, Partizan Belgrade, AZ Alkmaar and other teams are located, Augsburg broke out as second in the group and entered the knockout stage.
It is worth mentioning that at the first round knockout draw, when the Leicester City representative saw that his team was drawn to Augsburg, he couldn't help but smile.
On the contrary, the Augsburg team representative could not laugh.
You know, Leicester City’s odds of winning the Europa League are the third highest!
Second only to defending champions Sevilla and Dortmund!
However, Augsburg is not without its strength.
This team has a lot of East Asian elements, with three Asian international players, Koo Ja-cheol, Usami Takashi, and Ji Dong-won.
In addition, there are also powerful players such as Iceland international Finnbogason and Swiss international goalkeeper Hitz
Of course, the reason why Augsburg was able to achieve fifth place in the league , the biggest contribution is naturally the coaching ability of head coach Schuster.
Of course, compared to his relatively good coaching resume, this guy's playing career is what amazed everyone.
He may be the first player to play for Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in La Liga.
Moreover, he was regarded as the core of the team during his tenure.
Cruyff, who has read countless people and has a unique vision, calls him a "real genius"!
