Chapter 348 You know I know how to make soup, but you just can’t help it!
"If the sky is affectionate, the sky will be old too, if you see Hartmon kick it!"
At this moment, there is only this sentence in Ling Feng's mind.
This sentence is not just a joke by fans.
And behind this meme, it actually illustrates Joe Hart’s strength!
As a three-time Premier League Golden Glove winner and the current Great Britain goalkeeper, Joe Hart has excellent goal-line skills and outstanding save reflexes.
The reason why he has repeatedly become the background of world waves, and has even become a widely circulated meme, is not only because of his positioning in front of the goal, but also because ordinary shots cannot threaten Joe Hart.
Often only a world wave that is difficult to save or a random magic ball can penetrate its ten fingers!
This time, facing Bell, who is in hot form in this cup, many people have little hope whether Joe Hart can keep his free kick away.
After all, the nickname "World Wave Background Board" is not unearned...
"Wales received a free kick in an excellent position!"
"It is about 27 meters away from the goal. It can be hit directly."
"Gareth Bale stood on the ball Along with Aaron Ramsey"
"Can Bale become a hero for Wales again and can Joe Hart stop him? Let's wait and see."
Bora Tens of thousands of fans at the Walter Delly Stadium all held their breath and stared at the man wearing No. 11 anthracite gray jersey with his hair tied up.
Seven steps in front of him, there was a luxurious wall composed of Ling Feng, Ali, Kane, and Rooney, blocking the near corner of the goal.
Further away, Joe Hart was standing in the center of the goal, with a focused expression on his face, ready to make a save.
The next second, the referee blew the whistle!
I saw Bell hanging his hands naturally, standing in front of the ball, and then took a deep breath, then stepped on the unique running point and rushed towards the ball!
Run-up, shoot!
Only a "bang" sound was heard as the left foot made close contact with the ball, and the ball shot out quickly!
At the same time, Dai Ying's wall, worth nearly 200 million, could not stop the ball at all.
I saw the ball just passing over Rooney's head, and then flew straight to the goal guarded by Joe Hart. .
The speed is so fast, it even has a weird and erratic trajectory.
However, just as Joe Hart moved a step to the left, the ball that flew over the penalty spot suddenly began to fall!
"Elevator kick!"
Just like the free kick against Slovakia in the first round, Bell once again hit a wonderful elevator free kick!
Ling Feng, who was acting as a member of the human wall, just turned his head and saw the ball bounce off the ground, then hit Joe Hart's hand and bounce into the goal!
The next second, the entire Boralte Delelli Stadium exploded!
The Welsh fans gave the warmest cheers with great enthusiasm!
"Gareth Bale!"
"He's a Welsh hero again!"
"What a lift ball!"
"It's a Wales XI The second goal scored in this European Cup! ”
“This goal gave Wales the lead”
After scoring the goal, Bell bared his teeth in excitement and rushed to the corner flag area. Then he clenched his fists and roared from the bottom of his heart to the Welsh fans in the stands:
"ComeOn!!!"< br>
As he grows older and suffers from injuries, he is no longer like the great sage who once rode the colorful auspicious clouds in White Hart Lane.
However, the "Great Sage" who has become a superstar is still making continuous progress!
The superb free kick skills of two goals in two games of the European Cup were announced to the world:
He, Gareth Bale, doesn't just pass the ball to himself three seconds later!
What no one expected was that the one who scored first was not England, who had the upper hand, but Wales, who was almost out of breath!
Seeing the Welsh players rushing to the corner flag area and celebrating wildly with their star player, Ling Feng, who was standing in his own penalty area, also frowned and felt helpless in his heart.
Had I known that he would have let Bell take a long shot from outside the penalty area, he would not have foolishly rushed to foul and give Wales a free kick opportunity.
Without this excellent free kick, Bale would not have used his weird elevator ball again and sent the ball into the gate guarded by Joe Hart
Of course, he cannot be entirely blamed for this goal.
In addition to proactive gifts and own assists, there are many factors that lead to a goal.
Sterling intercepted the ball on the wing, the central midfielder did not foul Bell, Dell failed to defend in time, Ling Feng was forced to foul, and Bell shot too wonderfully
All Everything finally resulted in this wonderful free kick goal!
I was pressing and kicking throughout the whole process, but was penetrated by Wales with a counterattack.
This feeling was the first time for Ling Feng.
Until this moment, he finally realized the frustration and discomfort of the other nineteen Premier League teams when facing Leicester City's rapid counterattack.
So this is what it feels like!
“It’s okay!”
“Cheer up!”
At this time, Rooney, as the team captain and leader, reacted immediately.
While applauding, he raised his arms and shouted to his teammates:
"It's not like we haven't conceded the ball! Just catch it back!"
" Get into the game!”
“Play with your brains”
This last sentence was obviously addressed to Sterling.
But Sterling just lowered his head silently and walked back to his own half.
Although no one accused him of losing the ball just now, he was the culprit that ultimately led to the loss of the ball.
However, he knows very well that if he loses this game in the end, he will definitely become the target of public criticism!
This also puts greater pressure on Sterling to a certain extent.
At this time, Ling Feng also noticed the "Happy Boy"'s little mood, and then walked forward, gently patted his shoulder, and whispered:
"Man, it's okay. There is no winger plate." If you don't lose the ball, just be determined. Whether it's a breakthrough or a pass, I will be there to support you."
"Let's get the score back!"
Ling Feng's words immediately made Sterling feel warm in his heart.
Seeing the disciples on the field trying to digest the scene of losing the ball, Hodgson, who was sitting on the coaching bench on the sidelines, slowly relaxed his frown.
As Bell scored this free kick, his tactical plan died prematurely.
With a one-goal lead in hand, Wales can set up the bus more easily, and then lure England to attack and look for opportunities to counterattack.
England, which is lagging behind, must also attack.
Once there is another opportunity to counterattack, Wales will definitely be able to pose a threat to England's goal again.
Although the situation on the field seems to have reversed.
However, Huo Taigong still sat firmly on Diaoyutai and did not get up from the coaching bench to shout or give instructions.
Because, he firmly believes that with his team's offensive talent and firepower, he can equalize the score soon!
. . .
After another kick-off, England, who had possession of the ball, unsurprisingly attacked aggressively. Wales' defense retreated very deep, leaving England with a lot of attacking depth.
Almost all England players came to the frontcourt to participate in the attack.
Even the two trailing central defenders Smalling and Cahill came to the top of the center circle!
However, in the face of Wales' bus tactics of retreating to half-court, England had no good solution.
Even because the trident of Vardy, Sterling and Rooney was too high, the distance to the midfield was too far.
Fortunately, there is Ling Feng in the middle to coordinate the series, so that there is no disconnect.
As the team's midfield commander, Ling Feng is certainly aware of the current difficulties the team is facing.
He began to consciously break through with the ball, and then used his own dribbling to break through, attracting the defense, and then passing the ball to his teammates who ran out of space, creating opportunities and space for shooting.
Such a trick has indeed achieved some results.
Ling Feng's ball protection and confrontation are better than Sterling's, and it is almost impossible for opponents to steal the ball from his feet.
The opponent cannot just watch him get the ball. Someone must step forward to interfere and press to prevent him from taking long shots.
But one person can't guard Ling Feng. Even if he pulls his hand, he can't stop him
So he must be defended regionally.
With his defense, the space gained by other teammates will naturally be greater.
However, every time the ball is passed to Vardy, the offense ends.
Vardy, who served as England's single arrow in this game, was also tightly defended by his opponent.
As a club and national teammate who has played together for two and a half years, Ling Feng knows very well that Vardy is a forward who uses speed to attack the opponent's defense!
His characteristics and effects can only be brought into play when he is fighting a counterattack or has deep space for him to attack.
When caught in a positional battle, Vardy's shortcomings such as backing and headers were exposed!
So far in the first half of the game, Vardy has been stuck in a difficult quagmire of muscular confrontation with the three Welsh central defenders and has been unable to extricate himself.
And Vardy, who is trapped in a jungle of muscles in the frontcourt, is not the main reason for the Three Lions' frontcourt offensive disadvantage.
Rooney, who plays as a right winger, is more of a winger than a winger.
He doesn't have the speed to break through at all on the right. Most of the time the ball reaches his feet, and his only option is to force a cross.
But the quality of his crosses is average.
Either intercepted by the full-back;
Or too high, and was first cleared by the Welsh central defender;
Or they just can't contact Vardy who is grabbing points in the penalty area;
The two-wings fly tactic, and one wing is useless, how can it fly? !
However, Hodgson cannot let Rooney, the team captain and spiritual leader, come off the bench even though he knows that Rooney, whose physical function is declining, cannot break through on the wing.
So, how to arrange his position has become the key to whether the Three Lions can go further.
In the opinion of many people, Rooney's best position is the attacking midfielder.
He can organize and dispatch through his passing and run in series.
The two defensive midfielders behind him can help him cover up, allowing him to participate in the European offense with confidence.
However, the Three Lions already have Ling Feng, a midfielder who is better than Rooney in all aspects.
Therefore, some people have also proposed that Rooney be placed in the central midfielder or midfielder position. He can not only insert back to participate in the attack, but also can pull the opponent's defense through long-distance passing.
Just like he did at Manchester United.
But the problem comes again!
Rooney's running and defensive abilities are average, and his midfield sweeping ability is insufficient. He is simply unable to defend the large space left by the team's forward pressure.
So, equivalent to another central midfielder or defensive midfielder, he has to shoulder the defensive responsibility of the midfielder alone!
Not only did he have to protect Ling Feng, but he also had to wipe the butt of Rooney who came in from behind and guard the entire midfield by himself.
Who can withstand this? !
Perhaps only the immortal Kanter can do it.
So, after careful consideration, Hodgson would rather give up the speed on the wing and put Captain Britain on the right than let him play as a defensive midfielder.
At least the threat of losing the ball in the frontcourt is much smaller than the threat of losing the ball in the midfield.
Moreover, even if the frontcourt offense is unfavorable, he still has the trick of switching positions between Rooney and Ling Feng!
So, under the instruction of Hodgson, Three Lions assistant coach Livington immediately came to the sidelines and shouted to Rooney and Ling Feng on the court while making tactical gestures:
"Wazza! Ling! Change positions!"
As the assistant coach shouted, Ling Feng and Rooney immediately looked at each other.
Subsequently, the Three Lions No. 7 and the Three Lions No. 10 on the field completed the change of positions!
This change, of course, did not escape the eyes of Wales coach Coleman on the sidelines.
He suddenly frowned and realized something was wrong.
As the core player of the Three Lions, Ling Feng is naturally the focus of Wales' research during the preparation stage.
The Welsh coaching team was disgusted by his game videos and highlights.
Of course he knows that in addition to playing as an attacking midfielder, Ling Feng can also play as two wingers, almost as a free man in the frontcourt.
As a smooth winger, Ling Feng mostly uses one trick when he plays as a right winger.
That is to make soup from the outside and pass from the bottom!
Thinking of this, Coleman also came to the sidelines and shouted to his left center back and left wing back:
"That No. 7 can't cut inside on the right!"
"Be careful with him. "Outside breakthrough!"
Of course, both England and Wales speak the same language.
This means that the person involved, Ling Feng, also heard the opponent's head coach's targeted defensive strategy against him!
In response, Ling Feng just smiled.
So what if you know he can make soup from outside?
Can you guard him? !
In the 30th minute of the game, Ling Feng took the ball on the right and faced the double defense of Welsh left-back Neil Taylor and left center back Chester.
Without any hesitation, before the two of them got close, Ling Feng made a move with his upper body and moved in. After tricking Neil Taylor into moving his steps, he moved forward with the outside of his instep.
The ball flew quickly between Taylor and Chester, followed closely by a white afterimage!
One makes soup!
With the mastery of speed and dribbling, coupled with the increase in game experience, Ling Feng's soup on the wing has become like "Robben cutting inside".
That is, you know what I am going to do next, but you just can’t prevent it!
“So fast!”
"So fast!"
Under the shocked eyes of Neil Taylor and Chester, Ling Feng actually shuttled through the space between the two of them, and then strode to dribble the ball. Kill to the bottom line!
Looking at the position of his teammates in the penalty area, he found that Vardy was guarded and Rooney had not yet entered the inverted triangle area.
Ling Feng made a prompt decision and chose to create an arc and push the ball towards the no man's land behind the goal!
As long as Sterling comes in from behind, he can complete the shot!
