Chapter 400: The old club attacks! Going all out is the greatest respect!
Winning Borussia Monchengladbach at home is not worth mentioning to the media and fans.
In their eyes, among the entire group, only Barcelona deserves a serious look.
On the contrary, Ling Feng’s first Champions League assist hat trick is even more worthy of people’s talk.
There are three players who have scored a hat trick in their first appearance in the Champions League.
They are Newcastle forward Asprilla in the 1997-98 season, Rooney in the 04-05 season, and Porto winger Brahimi in the 14-15 season
However, he scored an assist in his first appearance in the Champions League. Juggling, but never!
You must know that such a record is something that neither Xavi, Zidane, Riquelme, or Rui Costa, all midfield masters with outstanding feeding abilities, have ever achieved
Ling Feng did it!
And he is also an England and Manchester United player!
This is what makes Manchester United fans and the British media excited and excited!
For Ling Feng, averaging one assist per game has become his habit, and it is also a rigid indicator in every game.
He also did not expect that Borussia, as a powerful Bundesliga team, could not cause much harm to Manchester United
This was just another mediocre game of abuse.
Nothing to brag about.
However, after [Champions League debut] [Champions League first goal] [Champions League first assist] [Champions League goals scored twice] [Champions League first yellow card], he completed [Champions League first match] [ Champions League assist hat trick] achievement.
Since this is the first time in his career to participate in the Champions League, Ling Feng has completed many Champions League-related achievements in just three Champions League games.
When I opened the [Character Panel], I saw that I had unknowingly accumulated thirteen free attribute points!
Looking at more and more attributes of Shang Jiushi, the corners of Ling Feng’s mouth rose crazily.
Even if the defense-related attributes are just above the passing line of 60.
However, as an offensive player, he certainly prioritizes strengthening his offensive attributes.
“This system is too rigid, why can’t I add points for the reverse foot?”
Thirteen free attribute points, five of which are added to [Stop the Ball] , raising it from 85 to 90;
Then adding five points to [End], it suddenly rose from 80 to 85;
The last remaining three points are Added to [Dribbling], it was raised from 82 to 85.
With the addition of points completed, Ling Feng's two attributes' ratings of [ball control] and [shooting] also changed from B to A!
In this way, among the six attributes of [Ball Control] [Shooting] [Passing] [Defense] [Physical] [Mental], only the [Defense] major attribute has not reached A rating. or above.
However, Ling Feng is very satisfied with this situation.
After all, he is not a defensive midfielder or defender. There are not many scenes that require him to defend during the game.
Even if he really needs to defend, with his physical fitness, he can definitely make a considerable contribution.
Therefore, it is not too late to wait until all offensive attributes are maxed out before adding defensive attributes.
. .
Since the main players had just finished playing the Champions League three days ago, and the opponent in the fifth round of the league was the weaker newly promoted Watford, Mourinho also made major changes to the starting eleven. Range rotation.
Except Rooney, Ling Feng and Kanter, the other eight players all took turns.
This season, Manchester United will fight on four fronts, the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup.
Of course, as a pursuing giant, the team's focus is of course on the league and the Champions League.
For a wealthy club that faces multi-front battles every season, reasonable rotation is the key to whether the team can go further in the league and the Champions League!
Originally, in Mourinho's view, Manchester United could easily win Watford even with a substitute lineup and even on the road.
What's more, the team's dual-core Ling Feng and Kanter both started, so it is impossible to lose!
However, in front of this newly promoted team that lifted the new Premier League championship in the opening game, Manchester United almost capsized in the gutter.
The "Bumblebee" playing at home caused a lot of trouble to Manchester United through smooth teamwork.
Especially the impactful muscular men such as Deeney and Capoue, they ran rampant against the back line of Blind and Jones.
Even taking advantage of the corner kick opportunity, Dini took the lead in penetrating Manchester United's goal!
However, before the end of the first half, Mata cut in from the right and hit a world wave, allowing the team to return to the locker room with a score of one to one.
Even if the whole process has some twists and turns.
However, the final result did not surprise Mourinho and the outside world.
With Mata's inward cut in the first half and Rashford receiving Ling Feng's through ball in the 75th minute of the game, he scored a reversal goal. Manchester United won 1-2 in the away game. A comeback to defeat Watford!
In addition to taking away precious three points from the away game, it also achieved a small achievement of five consecutive wins in the Premier League!
In this game, Manchester United's substitute players performed unsatisfactory.
Had Ling Feng and Kanter not been on the court, keeping the team's lower limit on both offense and defense, they might have been tied by their opponents.
After the game, Rashford, nicknamed "Wonder Boy" and the youth academy player who started the entire game and played the entire game, received unanimous praise from Manchester United legends, the media, and fans.
Many people have called on Mourinho to give this "Carrington kid" more playing time so that he can grow faster.
Compared with Martial, the "wing brake pad" who slows down the attack as soon as he gets the ball, Rashford's advantage lies in his enthusiasm and excellent ability to penetrate forward.
This eighteen-year-old little red devil has not yet been contaminated by Manchester nightclubs, and exudes the energy of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
My eyes are full of passion for football and desire to win!
Coupled with the fact that he has a cake-feeding master like Ling Feng around him, he only needs to give full play to his speed advantage and decisively get behind the defender to receive Ling Feng's precise pass and face the goalkeeper alone!
Don’t be too comfortable with this kind of tactical play!
And Mourinho can also see that Ling Feng is obviously more suitable for a "speed dog" winger like Rashford.
So, here comes the question:
Should Martial continue to be the starter, or should Rashford be promoted to the starter?
Many people have predicted that Martial's upper limit is Henry, and Rashford's upper limit is Ronaldo.
Judging from their age and potential alone, they are about the same, and both are worth cultivating.
In terms of his status within the team, Martial was still the team's key player last season even though he spent a large transfer fee from Manchester United.
However, in front of the prosperous Rashford, he is always an outsider!
After careful consideration, Mourinho also felt that Rashford could appropriately increase the number of starts.
Anyway, in multi-line combat this season, it is enough for the two to share the left winger's playing time.
Moreover, as the team's only center, the 35-year-old Ibrahimovic cannot play every game.
In addition, Rooney no longer has the ability to serve as a center, Rashford or Martial may be moved to the center position when necessary.
What's more, the better Rashford performs, in a sense, it can also stimulate Martial's sense of crisis and make him perform even better.
This could also send a signal to Martial:
You are not a must-choice left winger!
The healthy competition between the two young talents is what Mourinho is happy to see.
Of course, the performance of these two people can only be said to be the icing on the cake for the overall performance of the team. In his tactics, Ling Feng was the absolute core.
All tactics must be built around him!
Therefore, the criteria for selecting frontcourt starters are very simple.
Whoever can create sparks with Ling Feng better will start!
. . .
After September, the weather in Manchester begins to change like my girlfriend’s temper.
A second ago, the wind was still sunny and the sky was clear.
The next second, there were dark clouds and heavy rain.
After a short break in the League Cup, Manchester United also faced their opponents in the sixth round of the Premier League at home.
The new Premier League champion - "Blue Fox" Leicester City!
After miraculously defeating the major giants last season, winning the Premier League championship and achieving the historic achievement of the Triple Crown, Leicester City became the target of dismemberment by the Premier League giants in the summer window.
However, Leicester City finally held the bottom line and did not become a "player supermarket" like Southampton, selling off the players in the team.
They kept the leading striker Vardy, who had a lot of rumors with Arsenal, and also retained the team's core winger Mahrez
The entire main lineup was retained as much as possible.
Even so, the departure of the team's offensive core Ling Feng and defensive midfielder Kanter still caused a huge loss to the team's strength.
It also directly led to the team's upset loss to newly promoted Hull City in the league's opening game!
However, with the addition of new players and the fact that Ranieri changed the team's tactics from 4231 to 442 that pays more attention to the balance of offense and defense, the Blue Fox's state has rebounded slightly.
A draw with Arsenal at home in the second round and a home victory over Swansea in the third round all show that this Blue Fox is particularly strong.
However, the four-goal bloodbath suffered by Liverpool at Anfield in the fourth round made all the media and Blue Fox fans realize that this Blue Fox is obviously no longer the invincible Blue Fox last season!
Although they just defeated Burnley 3-0 at home in the last round.
However, it is the public consensus that Leicester City's state is ups and downs.
The last time the Red Devils and Blue Fox met was in the Community Shield in early August.
At that time, the Blue Fox, who owned Ling Feng, defeated the Red Devils 2-0 and won the championship.
But this time, Ling Feng has transformed into the Red Devils’ new No. 7!
Because of the two former Blue Fox players, Ling Feng and Kanter, this game has also attracted a lot of talk and attention.
Many people are paying attention to Ling Feng's performance against his old club.
Should we go all out or give some face?
Even the "Daily Mail" directly launched an online voting event. The theme of the voting was-"Will Ling Feng celebrate after scoring a goal?"
And more than 80% of the fans believe that Ling Feng does not There will be a celebration after a goal is scored.
After all, from his debut to now, Ling Feng has not been the kind of unruly and rebellious player in terms of public appearances and personal image.
Moreover, as the home team that trained him, Ling Feng also published a long and affectionate farewell message on social media when he left after the transfer.
The phrase "My heart will always be with Leicester" is enough to prove the status of Leicester City in his heart
Soon, the time came to the competition day on September 24th.
At the packed Old Trafford Stadium, Ling Feng welcomed his old club!
It is worth mentioning that in order to express his respect, Ling Feng went to the visiting team's locker room before the game started to greet his former teammates.
At that time, he happened to meet Ranieri who was finishing the press conference.
“Boss!”
Seeing Ling Feng waving to him, Ranieri suddenly smiled.
Then, just between the two of them, Ranieri's face suddenly darkened, he grabbed Ling Feng's neck and used a Roman grappler:
"You brat! "
Ling Feng also realized that Ranieri was joking with him, and he screamed "ouch" very cooperatively.
The little fight between the former master and apprentice was also filmed by the team reporter.
"Are you okay?"
"Not bad"
After greeting Ranieri, Ling Feng also walked into the locker room with Ranieri.
“Guys, are you okay?!”
Facing Ling Feng’s unsolicited visit, most of his former teammates were very happy and showed enthusiasm.
However, when they saw Ling Feng wearing a training jacket with the Manchester United team logo on it, many Blue Fox players truly felt Ling Feng's departure.
The former Blue Fox darling is no longer one of them.
Of course, in the world of professional football, transfers are too common.
They are all professional players, and there is a clear distinction between public and private.
Everyone in the club has his own master, and it cannot affect their private friendship.
However, this did not prevent Vardy from punching him in the stomach as soon as he came up!
“How dare you show up here?!”
Finally, after agreeing to invite all the Blue Fox generals to have a big meal in Manchester, Ling Feng was able to “escape”. Back in the home team's locker room.
Originally, the reunion with the old club was a beautiful day.
However, God was not in favor.
Not long after the game started, darkness fell over the stadium.
Soon, big raindrops were pouring down like a swipe.
Without any precaution, the players on both sides of the court were soaked in the rain.
The fans who were prepared in advance immediately put on their raincoats and continued watching the game.
The sudden heavy rain did not change the situation on the field much.
Facing his old club Ling Feng, he didn't give in at all, but played more aggressively.
In his opinion, going all out is the greatest respect for his old club and former teammates!
Under Manchester United's fierce offensive, the Blue Fox's defense still had loopholes:
Twenty-three minutes into the first half, Ling Feng got the ball in the middle and got rid of Andy King. After defending, he faced the goal and decisively kicked off the shot!
There was a loud bang!
The splashing raindrops and the ball, like cannonballs, drew an elusive trajectory in the air and went straight into the goal guarded by Schmeichel!
The next second, the entire stadium burst into cheers, drowning out the sound of rain in an instant!
However, after breaking through the door of his old club, Ling Feng did not celebrate.
The former proud Blue Fox just stood there, patted his left chest, and then raised his hands to indicate that he would not celebrate.
And this scene also gave him warm applause from both Manchester United fans and Blue Fox fans
