Chapter 384: Comparing two prides? Red Devils debut!
August 14th.
At the Dean Court Stadium, the smallest in the Premier League, Manchester United ushered in a new era of coaching by Mourinho.
“Today is José Mourinho’s first Premier League game as coach of Manchester United. It is a historic moment.”
“Not only that, this game is also a historic moment for the football world. Transfer target Wang Lingfeng’s Manchester United debut! ”
"This game is of great significance to the 21-year-old best player in the Premier League!"
"Playing for a giant like Manchester United and playing with superstars like Rooney and Ibrahimovic, he can Will he continue to shine with his extraordinary magic? Or does he need some time to adapt to the new team and new tactics? "
"Let's wait and see"
In the player tunnel, The Manchester United generals, wearing white away jerseys, are ready to go.
As the most expensive signing in the team’s history, Ling Feng stood at the end of the queue.
All this made him feel strange and familiar at the same time.
Although I came to a new team and changed into a new jersey.
However, there are many familiar faces in the team.
Looking at Kante standing in front of him, wearing the No. 6 jersey, Ling Feng had an inexplicable feeling that he seemed to have transferred, but he didn't seem to have transferred.
Compared to the first time he represented Leicester City in his career debut in the FA Cup, Ling Feng, who has been in professional football for more than two years, no longer has the enthusiasm and excitement he had at the beginning
Even so, his heart was agitated.
He knows very well that this is not only his league debut wearing Manchester United's No. 7 jersey, but also the first step for him to land from a small club to a big club and truly start to reach the top of football!
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.
To continue to grow at a rate of one step a year, he must not only handle the infighting in the wealthy locker room off the court, but also continue to maintain stable and excellent performance on the court!
Therefore, Ling Feng also reminded himself all the time in his heart.
This is no longer a Leicester City where the media and fans will be very tolerant of him no matter how he performs;
But the media and fans are always staring at him with a magnifying glass. If he is not careful, he will be accused and criticized. Criticized Manchester United!
He is no longer a big shot in a small local team;
but a football transfer king worth over 100 million, the savior of Manchester United in the eyes of all fans!
The club’s high demands, the fans’ high expectations, and the media’s high attention.
Even for Ling Feng, who has lived for two generations, this is definitely a new and huge challenge!
It is worth mentioning that before the game, his football idol Beckham called him specifically to encourage him to carry forward his No. 7 jersey again.
The godfather of Manchester United, Ferguson, as well as Neville, Ferdinand and other England and Manchester United celebrities with whom he has a good relationship, also sent him text messages to congratulate him on his upcoming Manchester United debut
It is no exaggeration to say that Manchester United's famous players will place their heavy responsibility of leading the Red Devils' revival on him!
As for the huge pressure from within the club and the outside public, Ling Feng actually enjoyed it.
Because he firmly believes that he will become stronger and stronger, and all opponents and difficulties that stand in front of him will be ruthlessly defeated and crushed by him!
“Let us welcome the players from both sides to the stadium”
Amidst the cheers and applause of the fans in the audience, the players from both sides filed into the stadium.
When the live broadcast camera focused on Ling Feng, who was at the end of the queue, the Red Devils fans in the stands who had followed the team to the away game suddenly burst out with the loudest cheers.
These Manchester United fans are using their own way to support the new No. 7 who spent the club's record transfer fee, hoping that he can give a wonderful performance to the club and fans in his first show.
Just like he did at Leicester City!
At this moment, Lee Dixon, the famous commentator in charge of this game, couldn’t help but sigh:
“The billionaire man who was just signed by Manchester United was beaten by Mourinho. Austria is regarded as a top player at the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi."
"This game may be the beginning of him proving himself."
Before this game, the Liverpool coach Klopp and Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger both expressed their opinions on Manchester United's super operation of spending the largest transfer fee in football to acquire Lingfeng.
Klopp said he would not buy a player for 100 million.
This is crazy!
What if he gets hurt?
Wenger, who has always been frugal, also said: "Buying a player for 100 million is crazy! Even if it is Ling Feng!"
"You know, if you have money, You can’t buy a championship.”
It is worth mentioning that even if they questioned the deal, the two did not deny Ling Feng's strength.
I just find it unbelievable to spend such an expensive transfer fee just to buy a player.
However, Manchester United legends and fans only regarded the two opinions as sour grapes.
You know, during this summer window, Liverpool and Arsenal also sent offers to Leicester City and participated in the battle for Lingfeng.
It’s just that they were short of money and finally chose to quit.
It's not that they think Ling Feng is expensive, but they feel unhappy that they can't afford so much money and thus were snatched away by rival Manchester United!
If they had the money to win Lingfeng, they would not make such sour remarks
As for the doubts of competitors, Mourinho's reply was also very domineering:< br>
“Breaking the transfer fee record is allowed to happen, especially at a club of Manchester United’s level. I think they (Liverpool, Arsenal) will never have such trouble.”
“Because, if you want to have such trouble, you must be the top wealthy family in the world.”
"What's more, in my eyes, Ling Feng has done things that Messi and Ronaldo can't do at this age. He has undoubtedly become a player at the same level as Messi and Ronaldo, and even the players behind them. Chaser! "
"And the world's top players will only join the top giants."
"That's Manchester United!"
This. A wave of replies not only criticized Klopp and Wenger, but also promoted his favorite general Ling Feng and Manchester United. It simply had to be called "high emotional intelligence!"
However, for Mu Rinho's comment that "Lingfeng is as good as the two prides" aroused the anger and displeasure of Melo fans!
Although in the 14-15 season, when Hazard played the best performance of his career, Mourinho also commented that the Blues No. 10 was already one of the three best players in the world.
However, that is not as direct as the current evaluation of Ling Feng!
For a time, Mourinho's remarks once again pushed Ling Feng to the forefront.
Previously, when Ling Feng broke the football transfer fee record, it already caused an online scolding war between La Liga fans, Ling Feng fans and Premier League fans.
The support side feels that Ling Feng is worthy, while the opposition side feels that Ling Feng is not worth it.
But this time, he got into trouble with two of the most competitive fans in football!
Those are the fans and fans of the peerless duo!
“He is a young man who has been praised by the media. How can he compare with the football king Messi?!”
“A kid who has never even played in the Champions League, don’t get involved. ! ”
“Messi has already won the Champions League at his age! Where is Ling Feng?” Compared with Messi’s fans, Luo’s fans were not so violent.
The reason is also very simple. Brother Luo and Ling Feng have a good relationship!
Ling Feng not only has the same agent as Luo Ge, but they also attended Mendes' wedding together, so they can be considered friends.
The two also had several interactions during the European Cup.
Luo Ge once said in an interview after the victory over England that Ling Feng will definitely become one of the best in the world in the future.
What's more, Ling Feng is now wearing the Red Devils No. 7 that Luo Ge once wore.
In the eyes of some Luo Ge fans, Ling Feng is more like Luo Ge's successor.
Of course, this wave of heated debate also attracted Luo Ge, who often surfs the Internet.
Then, some media discovered that Brother Luo liked a comment from a netizen.
The content of the comment is the comparison of data between Ling Feng and Melo.
Whether it is the number of goals or assists, the 21-year-old Ling Feng has more goals than the 21-year-old Melo!
The conclusion of this comment is actually to take sides.
This wave of likes by Luo Ge is also considered by the outside world as recognition of Ling Feng.
Perhaps only Ronaldo himself knows that after the head-to-head confrontation in the European Cup semi-finals, he has regarded Ling Feng as a competitor that may threaten him for the Ballon d'Or this year and in the future!
However, he has always been proud and would not admit this in front of others.
Because, in the eyes of him and all media and fans, there is only one competitor for Cristiano Ronaldo.
That’s Barcelona’s No. 10!
Ling Feng is also calm about the disputes on social media.
In his opinion, this is just the only way to climb to the top of football!
As his performance gets better and better, and he wins more and more championship honors, he will inevitably be included in the discussion for the Golden Globe Award, and he will inevitably form a competitive relationship with the two most popular players.
In the seven or eight years since 2008, no one has been able to truly threaten the two-proud football landscape.
Iniesta, Sneijder, Ribery, Suarez, Neymar
These superstars have all lost in competition with Melo.
This year, he also entered the ranks.
As early as the offseason, the management team headed by Mendes had actually discussed the possibility of this year's Golden Globe Award with Ling Feng.
The final conclusion is that the chances are very slim!
Even though Ling Feng won the Premier League and Europa League at the club level as an absolute core, he also led England to the semi-finals of the European Cup at the national team level, tying the best in history. Achievements.
In addition, Ling has scored an astonishing 60 goals in various competitions, including Premier League MVP, Premier League assists leader, Europa League assists leader, European Cup best player, European Cup golden boot and many other personal honors. It is also difficult for Feng to snatch the top two spots in the Golden Globe Awards from Melo.
Because, Ronaldo won the more valuable Champions League and European Cup, overwhelming him!
And Messi, not only has excellent personal statistics, but also has the honor of being the La Liga champion and the runner-up of the America's Cup.
More importantly, both of them are more famous and influential than him!
To defeat the two men and win the Golden Globe Award, multiple conditions must be met:
First of all, it is the championship honor.
Either in the years of international competitions, as a core member, win the European Cup or World Cup;
Or in years without international competitions, as a core member, win the club's league championship and the highest honor. Champions League champion.
Secondly, it is personal performance.
Personal data must explode, and the number of goals and assists must reach at least 20!
For Ling Feng, who is already in double twenties in the Premier League, the latter is not a problem.
The former is the biggest problem.
After all, the Champions League championship and international competition championships are not something you can just win.
In addition to championship honors and personal performance, team influence and public relations capabilities are also important factors that determine whether he can win the Golden Globe Award!
This is why Ling Fengfeng chose Manchester United, a top platform that is as influential as Real Madrid and Barcelona!
Although this year's Golden Globe Award most likely belongs to Luo Ge.
However, Ling Feng is not discouraged and is satisfied with the speed of his progress.
After all, he is only 21 years old and has already become a threat to Melo's Golden Globe Award.
This in itself is already a huge achievement!
If the two heroes are really defeated so easily, then it is impossible for these two people to rule the football world for more than ten years!
Moreover, transferring to a new club represents a new beginning.
Wearing the legendary Red Devils No. 7, his overall rating exceeded 90, which also made him full of energy!
With the singing of the home team fans echoing in his ears, he looked down at the Manchester United jersey on his body and the exclusive pair of status-symbol boots under his feet. Ling Feng couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth and showed a bright smile. ：
Since you think I am not worthy of playing alongside Melo, starting from this game, I will use my strength to prove to the world!
Beep~~~
With the referee's whistle, in the first round of the 2016-17 Premier League season, the "Red Devils" Manchester United played away against the "Cherry" Bournemouth. It’s officially started!
Manchester United took the lead as a guest.
Ibrahimovic, wearing No. 9, passed the ball back to Ling Feng, who also kicked the ball back to Carrick behind him.
In this game, Mourinho chose the combination of Carrick and Kante in the midfielder position.
The former is responsible for organizing the ball in the midfield and the backfield, while the latter is responsible for sweeping and intercepting in the midfield area. The division of labor is clear.
Moreover, considering that the opponent's strength is average, Mourinho hopes that Carrick can become the hub of the midfield and backcourt, delivering the ball to the feet of the frontcourt players as soon as possible, so that Ling Feng can not need More dropbacks to catch the ball.
Such an arrangement can indeed ensure Manchester United's ability to play the ball in the midfield and backfield.
However, as a second-year rookie who was just promoted last season, Bournemouth under the young coach Eddie Howe has a fearlessness of being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
Facing Manchester United, whose strength was obviously higher than their own, they did not adopt the strategy of sitting back and setting up a bus in the backcourt. Instead, they chose to take the initiative and press high!
Encouraged by the home fans, the Bournemouth players wearing red and black uniforms were full of energy and put enough pressure in the frontcourt.
And Manchester United's "stars" did not expect that their opponents would be so aggressive.
When the game came to the ninth minute, Bournemouth successfully pressed in the frontcourt and intercepted the pass Smalling tried to pass to Carrick.
Immediately before Kanter approached, Wilshere, the former Arsenal prince who was loaned to Bournemouth this season, suddenly kicked off and shot!
Perhaps it was blocked by the defender's line of sight, and the angle of the shot was too tricky. De Gea was unable to make the save and could only watch the ball fly into the upper right corner of the goal!
The next second, the entire Dean Court Stadium, which can accommodate more than 10,000 people, suddenly burst into amazing cheers!
Seeing Bournemouth actually score the first goal, Mourinho's face suddenly darkened on the sidelines.
Ling Feng, who was standing on the court and witnessed the entire process of the goal, raised his eyebrows.
Okay, okay!
For my first show, you guys are going to give me this intensity, right? !
