Chapter 358 Lille’s 14 seconds, the one that killed the game!
Of course, Ling Feng doesn’t think Belgium is copying Leicester City’s work.
The tactical formation of 442 parallel positions was once the most respected tactical formation in football.
No one!
The tactic of changing to 442, one high, one fast, two forwards, and then passing from the wing is not unique to Leicester City.
England has relied on this tactic to "make a living" for a long time
For Wilmots, who has little coaching experience, this tactic does not require too much brainpower.
Because it is simple and crude!
So, whenever the situation fails to open up, Wilmots will use Fellaini as a killer, push him to the front line, and then pass the ball from both sides!
With a goal back, the gap between the two sides was only one goal.
While their morale was rising, the Belgians pressed forward aggressively and began to press from a high position!
And England, who had a goal recovered, suddenly doubled their pressure.
Of course, even Belgium, which has a luxurious offensive line, is not so good at scoring goals when facing England's dense defense.
However, I can’t stand the rough skills and unstable mentality of some English players!
As the left back Rose sent a long pass under pressure, he wanted to find Vardy, the counterattack point in front, but he gave the ball directly to Belgium.
The Belgian had the ball again.
Mousa Dembele, who was wearing a red shirt, immediately handed the ball to the two wings, and then directly took the ball and passed it, looking for "one high, one fast" in the penalty area< br>
The European Red Devils suddenly awakened and attacked with such ferocity that the English generals were suddenly unable to resist.
Seeing that almost all the opponents had passed the half, except for Vardy, they began to set up buses in their own half.
Even Ling Feng frequently returned to the front of the penalty area to help defend.
Just six minutes later, De Bruyne, who cruised to the right, once again sent an arc cross at an angle of 45 degrees.
In an instant, there was chaos in the England penalty area.
The ball just went over Cahill's head, was turned back by Fellaini, and came to Lukaku.
Dell, who was guarding Lukaku, immediately got up to interfere.
However, Lukaku, who was already prepared, directly withstood Dell's collision with a strong support.
Then he moved his left foot laterally, widening the angle of the shot.
Hmph!
Want to guard against me, Drogba of Belgium?
You are still a bit young!
Just when Lukaku wanted to repeat his old trick and shoot a rhinoceros shot, luckily Ling Feng made up for the defense in time and quickly took out his foot from the side and behind to poke the ball away.
Smalling used a big kick to clear the ball.
But Lukaku was unable to hold back the power of his shot because the kick was empty.
In order to avoid injury, he did a rhinoceros turn.
After completing this wave of defense, Ling Feng glanced at Lukaku, who quickly got up from the ground and pretended that nothing happened. He couldn't help but joke with him as he passed by. :
“Hey, man, that goal you just scored was pretty cool”
Hearing this, Lukaku looked at Ling Feng's leaving figure and couldn't help but murmur in his heart:
"Is this guy praising me or hurting me?"
As Belgium attacked wave after wave, the entire England formation was also squashed, and crosses from both sides repeatedly threatened the goal guarded by Joe Hart.
Fellaini alone completed three headers while being guarded by Smalling and Cahill.
However, as long as it is not a world wave and a fairy ball, Joe Hart's save success rate is still among the top in the Premier League.
High to low, blocking Belgium's head and kicks!
Although the attack was all-out, Belgium created more scoring opportunities than in the first half.
However, what followed was the entire formation pressing forward, exposing a large space behind them.
Especially in the defense of the midfield, there are only De Bruyne, who is not good at defense and frequently pulls wide, and Moussa Dembele, who has just been replaced not long ago.
This is equivalent to a huge midfielder with only Dembele as the midfielder!
However, Wilmots and the Belgians can no longer control that much.
The most urgent task is to pursue the victory and equalize the score as soon as possible!
For this, they do whatever it takes!
At the same time, Ling Feng, who was always observing the trends of the game, also realized that the game had reached the most critical moment!
As long as they can withstand the Belgian counterattack, they will be able to use the space left behind by the opponent's formation to launch a deadly counterattack, thus completely killing the game!
Ever since, he began to take the initiative to retreat to the midfield and backcourt, and began to act as a "wall" wandering around
As long as his teammates were pressed, pass the ball to him, and he would attract the surrounding Belgians. Players grab.
At that time, he will pass the ball back or move it to the weak side on the other side, so that he can easily break the opponent's regional press.
It was precisely because Ling Feng retreated and acted as a wall to receive the ball from the backcourt that the pressure on England's defenders was suddenly reduced.
Facing Belgium's pressing, they only need to pass the ball to Ling Feng and don't have to worry.
Ling Feng's current ability to protect the ball and get rid of it is not as good as top midfield masters such as Xavi, Iniesta, and Zidane.
But coupled with his speed and explosiveness that have reached the pinnacle of football, almost no one can steal his ball!
As time went by, the Belgians found that even if they continued to press and press like mad dogs in the frontcourt, it was difficult to steal the ball from the feet of the English players.
Gradually, Belgium's high-position press lost its initial vigor.
After all, they are not a team that specializes in high-position pressing tactics, and they have not conducted tactical drills for high-position pressing.
The momentary excitement of getting chicken blood will eventually fade away.
Moreover, among the frontcourt players, neither Lukaku nor Hazard are the kind of frontcourt players who are very willing to press.
Fellaini, who played as a temporary center forward, was willing to press.
However, with his tall height of over 1.9 meters and a burly body of more than 100 kilograms, he simply cannot sustain the intensity of the pressing for too long.
As the willingness to press decreases, the enthusiasm for running also begins to decrease, and the distance between pressing players is no longer close.
But the Belgians still felt complacent about having suppressed England in the half.
As everyone knows, the reduced intensity of the pressing, rendering them useless, gave England the opportunity to switch from defense to offense.
As Rooney's physical fitness declined, Hodgson chose to replace the captain and replace him with a new force to continue to maintain his running ability in the frontcourt. And the one who came on the bench was none other than "Your King Lin" - Jesse Lingard!
When his name was called, Lingard never imagined that he would actually get the opportunity to come on as a substitute in such an important game!
Could it be said that this is an opportunity given by God to make him famous? !
It turns out that he guessed it right!
In the 75th minute of the game, Belgium's high-post press slowed down a bit, and Ling Feng once again retreated in the middle to receive the ball.
De Bruyne, who was well aware of the threat, immediately followed.
He was even mentally prepared to be able to beat others with the ball.
However, Ling Feng didn't even give him any chance!
Before De Bruyne got close to him, he suddenly made a pullback as if he had eyes behind his back, turned around, and then suddenly accelerated!
At the moment of lightning, De Bruyne did not hesitate at all. He directly reached out and grabbed the corner of Ling Feng's jersey.
Don’t even think about getting rid of me!
However, the next second, Ling Feng suddenly accelerated and directly used the acceleration to help the corner of the jersey shake off De Bruyne's hand!
Fortunately, the jerseys customized by Nike for the Three Lions are of good quality and will not be torn apart by such a tug.
Seeing Ling Feng escape from his "devil's clutches", De Bruyne gritted his teeth, unleashed all his strength, and chased after him crazily!
However, just after chasing a few meters, he discovered a very desperate thing:
Ling Feng's dribbling speed was even faster than his running speed!
Seeing Ling Feng striding forward with the ball, in the blink of an eye, the England fans in the stands stood up and cheered for the Three Lions No. 7:
"Charge the duck!"
"That's it! Make them clear!"
"Ling, give them some color and see!"
Soon, Ling Feng Dribbling the ball into the heart of Belgium, and then facing a situation where he was attacked from both sides:
Behind him was De Bruyne, whose face was red from the crazy pursuit, and in front of him was the last barrier of the Belgian midfield—— "Tottenham Hotspur" Moussa Dembele!
Meeting Dembélé's firm eyes, Ling Feng knew very well that if he dared to pass in front of him, he would definitely knock him down at all costs!
So, after thinking for less than 0.03 seconds, he made the most reasonable decision a world-class midfielder can make:
Pass the ball!
The outside instep of his right foot sent an arcing through ball, which penetrated the entire midfield and passed through the ribs between left center back Denayer and left back Lukaku Jr. , came to the right outside the penalty area.
Not long after he came on as a substitute, Lingard, who was very physically fit, arrived in time, stopped with his feet, moved forward, and dribbled the ball down.
And little Lukaku, who turned around clumsily, chased back crazily.
At the same time, due to the forward pressure of the formation, only two central defenders and the retreating Dembele were left in the entire Belgian backcourt.
After passing the ball, Ling Feng continued to advance, like a merciless sword, piercing the gap in the European Red Devils' armor.
Only a hair’s breadth will penetrate the red devil’s roaring heart!
"Jesse!"
Even without Ling Feng's shouts, Lingard, who dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area, swept his right foot without hesitation and sent a low and fast cross to the center!
Ling Feng in the middle accelerated and rushed towards the goal.
Belgium's two central defenders, Alderweireld and Denayer, also rushed forward immediately, trying to prevent him from grabbing a shot.
The next second, a scene that surprised everyone happened!
Just when everyone thought that Ling Feng, who was outflanking, would definitely choose to shoot immediately, he stretched his legs to push the shot, but he took a step and allowed the ball to slip through his crotch!
This leak was beyond the expectations of everyone present.
What? !
He didn’t shoot? !
When everyone followed the ball to the area near the penalty spot, they were surprised to find that Vardy was there at some point!
And there was no one watching within two meters of him!
The central defenders Alderweireld and Denayer, who turned their heads, couldn't help but show expressions of surprise.
They forgot about Vardy!
Faced with the incoming ball, Vardy looked focused and directly pushed the ball steadily towards the lower corner of the goal.
Courtois, who had moved to the right, could not save himself even if he made a flying save
As the ball entered the net, the entire stadium once again erupted into an amazing response. Cheers.
"biu~~~Special!!"
"It can be called a textbook quick counterattack and quick counterattack!"
"Ling Feng, Lingard and Vardy, the three former The Blue Fox teammates played a smooth and wonderful collaboration!"
"England scored another goal and opened the score again!"
"This is absolutely amazing for the Belgians! It’s fatal!”
In the stands, countless Belgian fans held their heads in their hands and looked sad.
Some female fans even had red eyes after seeing the team being eliminated.
The England fan area on the other side turned into a white sea of joy
At this moment, everyone is still recalling the grain of the gravy in their minds. The beauty of scoring a goal.
Then, the same doubt suddenly popped up:
Why does Ling Feng know that Vardy is behind him? !
He didn't even look behind him!
Of course Ling Feng knows!
Who allows him to have [God’s Vision] and be able to know the positions of his teammates and opponents at all times!
And, at that moment, he thought of the winning goal that Belgium scored against Xiaori in the 2018 World Cup.
Therefore, Ling Feng, who had already grabbed the first point, had an idea and chose to miss the ball!
Wouldn’t it be fun to beat Belgium the Belgian way?
And Vardy did not disappoint him and scored the ball steadily!
After scoring the goal, Vardy rushed to Hodgson on the sidelines very excitedly, and then gave the coach who gave him the chance to start a big hug!
Then the two were surrounded by their teammates on the bench and celebrated together.
In sharp contrast to this scene of crazy celebrations, are the dejected and helpless Belgian generals.
Especially De Bruyne, who chased all the way to the penalty area, just put his hands on his hips and panted. Breathing heavily, he stared intently at the black-haired young man who was smiling and high-fiving his teammates.
The 25-year-old De Bruyne looked at the 21-year-old Ling Feng, his eyes full of figures that he could not catch up with.
It wasn’t until he saw the replay of the goal that everyone realized Understand why Vardy appeared in that no man's land!
After Ling Feng passed De Bruyne in the middle and passed the ball to Lingard on the right, he continued to advance.
Vardy, who was in the middle, made a diagonal pass to the left, drawing Lingfeng's defensive attention from Belgian right center back Alderweireld.
At the same time, Sterling, who was advancing at high speed from the left, also attracted the attention of right back Meunier.
So, the moment Lingard passed the ball, a two-on-two situation formed in the penalty area.
Ling Feng and Vardy VS Alderweireld and Denayer!
At the moment when Ling Feng rushed to grab the front point, Alderweireld, who was originally guarding Vardy, was also attracted.
This ultimately led to Ling Feng leaking the ball, allowing Vardy, who was unmarked behind him, to have an excellent opportunity that was almost a big one-shot!
The most noteworthy thing is that in the post-match statistics, from the moment Ling Feng took the ball and passed De Bruyne, to Vardy finally sending the ball into the Belgian goal, the entire The counterattack goal process only took 14 seconds!
