Chapter 401 FIFA cover character!
Under the heavy rain, the match between Manchester United and Leicester City continued.
With Ling Feng’s super heavy shot, Manchester United took the lead at home.
However, Leicester City’s 442 parallel positioning tactical formation may be the most suitable for the Blue Fox.
In fact, after losing Ling Feng as the frontcourt organizer, in order to ensure the team's offensive creativity, Ranieri once moved Mahrez to the center to replace Ling Feng's role and function.
Last season, Ling Feng often switched positions with Mahrez and played equally well.
So, even if Mahrez is not as good as Ling Feng, he can still carry the team's offensive banner to a certain extent.
However, the effect is not good.
In the opponent's densely defended center, Mahrez was unable to use his characteristics of breakthrough from the wing, and also exposed his shortcomings of poor confrontation ability.
Moreover, without the strong point of Ling Feng on the wing to help him attract firepower, Mahrez, who likes to break through with the ball, has become the focus of the opponent's defensive midfielder.
He didn't have the explosive physical fitness of Ling Feng, so he could only be knocked to the ground again and again, and then his opponent would steal him and fight back.
Without Kanter's interception and sweep behind him, the opponent can switch from defense to offense and quickly get in front of the Blue Fox's defense, thereby posing a threat.
This is also an important reason why they lost to newly promoted Hull City in the opening game of the league.
After discovering that no one could replace Ling Feng, Ranieri decisively changed his formation to 442!
Add a forward in the frontcourt and then move Mahrez back to the right.
Then, the new left winger, Nigeria's fast horse Musa, and the right winger, Mahrez, flew together on both wings to create crosses, allowing Vardy in the center and team history standard king Slimani to get the chance to finish in front of the goal.
In this way, the team's offense can also be maximized.
After last season's success, Ranieri feels that as long as the offense can suppress the opponent, the defensive pressure in the midfield will naturally be relieved.
Of course, this kind of tactical idea works well against teams of equal or weaker strength.
However, when facing a wealthy team with strong offensive firepower, it often turns into a brutal offensive battle.
Previously, among the Blue Fox's front four, Ling Feng was the main playmaker.
However, Mahrez also assumes certain organizational tasks.
And the two people's switching positions and interspersed movements made it difficult for the opponent to guard against them!
The luxurious configuration of the dual-core frontcourt is also an important reason why the Blue Fox can sweep the Premier League and Europa League!
However, with the departure of Ling Feng, the Blue Fox's frontcourt offensive changes dropped sharply, and they also lost their dual core.
Even if Ranieri asked "Water Drinking Brother" Drinkwater to assume certain organizational tasks.
However, his strength is far inferior to Ling Feng, and his position is relatively behind, and he cannot affect the game like Ling Feng.
After several rounds of games, other opponents in the Premier League can see that most of the Blue Fox's offensive methods and methods rely on Mahrez to instigate.
As long as the "Algerian Eagle" is restricted from getting the ball, most of the Blue Fox's offense can be contained!
Moreover, compared to the star-studded giants, the Blue Fox's bench depth can only be said to be average.
Therefore, after playing against Liverpool at Anfield and being beaten by four goals, Ranieri also woke up from a dream and immediately made tactical adjustments.
With Slimani as the fulcrum center and Vardy slightly behind, he serves as the first line of defense for the team that presses the opponent's midfielder to play the ball.
Then, the two wingers also retreated slightly, retreated to defend near the center line, and then waited for opportunities to counterattack through the transition between offense and defense to create an offensive threat.
In this game, Leicester City also retreated at Old Trafford.
At the same time, the two midfielders Drinkwater and Andy King were asked to double-team and defend Ling Feng.
Of course they were very aware of Ling Feng's threat.
However, Kante, the only player in Leicester City who might be able to limit him, also moved to the opposite side.
Others can't stop him at all!
If you want to blame, you can only blame Ling Feng’s personal ability for being too unreasonable
It is worth mentioning that as the rain became heavier and heavier, the Bobby Charlton Stand The ceiling started leaking!
The ceiling is about fifty meters away from the seats, and the waterfall pours down, forming a strange scene of "flying down three thousand feet".
Such a scene happened in a stadium, and it was also in the famous Dream Theater. It was really ridiculous.
What's going on?
Buy a ticket and come in. In addition to the football game, can you also see the waterfall? !
It’s so worth it!
Fortunately, the bottom of the leak happened to be in the front guardrail area of the seating area.
In addition to blocking some views, fans sitting in the Bobby Charlton Stand will not have the waterfall pouring down on their heads.
The funniest thing is that during the halftime break, several male Red Devils fans chose to take off their shirts and wash themselves under the waterfall in front of tens of thousands of fans.
Then, they were asked out by stadium security.
Of course, such a picture will not appear on the big screen at home.
After all, this is a slap in the club’s face!
As a long-established giant with a long history, it is shocking that there is such a serious leakage in the stadium roof.
However, Red Devils fans said - we are all used to it.
Because, as anyone who has been a Red Devils fan for more than ten years knows, this problem is no longer a matter of one day or two.
From the side, it can also be explained how incompetent the Glazer family's internal management has been since they took over.
Even the small stadium roof leakage problem has not been solved for many years.
The live camera of "Sky Sports" is also aimed at the waterfall in the stadium from time to time, and then meaningfully aimed at the team owner Glazer in the stands.
The language of the lens is self-evident.
The cameramen, reporters and even the fans at the scene took pictures of this peculiar video and then posted it online.
However, Glazer and Sandoko, who only care about the club's stock price, don't care about this situation at all.
As long as they can do business marketing and attract sponsorship, they will be the most successful club in England and they will be able to put a lot of money into their pockets.
As for the fans’ opinions?
Forget it!
Of course, the leaking roof of the stands did not affect the players on the field.
After taking the lead in the first half, in the second half, Ling Feng broke through with the ball in the middle and distributed the ball to Luke Xiao who came in from the left.
After the latter played a set-up with Martial, he made a precise pass and found Ibrahimovic in the penalty area.
The latter used a volley to pass through Schmeichel's fingers!
Two to zero!
And this is also the final score of the game!
After the game, Ling Feng, the former Blue Fox core and current Red Devils core who helped Manchester United firmly control the game and scored a goal, was also named the best player in the game.
Leicester City, with Ling Feng, defeated Manchester United 2-0;
Manchester United, with Ling Feng, defeated Leicester City 2-0;
It can be seen that, with Ling Feng and Without Lingfeng, the strength of the team is completely different!
After the game, Ling Feng fulfilled his promise and booked the Glamorous Chinese Restaurant in Manchester to entertain the entire Blue Fox team!
After having dinner together, he did not forget to post photos on social media of himself having a big meal with his former teammates.
And the caption said:
"With my guys! @vardy@maherez@morgan"
And this photo also made Blue Fox fans feel embarrassed. If they had Ling Feng in today's game, they would definitely be able to take away three points at Old Trafford
. . .
The next day, Ling Feng, accompanied by his girlfriend, took a charter flight specially prepared by EA and flew to Los Angeles, the "City of Angels" in California, USA.
As one of the two giants of football games, Barcelona King Messi has been the cover of the game for four consecutive years since FIFA13.
However, due to the expiration of the contract with Messi, and EA's desire to use a special promotional method, the sales of the game will increase to a higher level.
Therefore, for the first time, FIFA 17 adopts the voting method of global players and fans to select the cover character!
And this way of involving players and fans has indeed made the entire game more topical and popular.
After selection by the game director and production team, four players entered the final shortlist.
They are Reus of Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Ling Feng of Manchester United in the Premier League, James Rodriguez of Real Madrid in La Liga, and Hazard of Chelsea in the Premier League!
These four candidates all need to be handsome football guys with good looks and good football skills.
He is also a leader among the new generation of football today and the most popular young player in the four major leagues.
The four of them shot promotional videos during the offseason, and then successively cooperated with promotional activities and released them one by one on the Internet.
Among them, Ling Feng’s personal promotional video has been viewed more than 5 million times on YouTube!
Also the tallest among the four!
After several months of voting, finally on August 17, EA officially announced that the new Red Devils No. 7 Ling Feng, who had just joined the Premier League giant Manchester United for a record transfer fee in football, defeated other candidates and became the The winner with the most votes!
Originally, compared to the other three, Ling Feng only had some advantages in votes.
After joining Manchester United with the highest transfer value in football on August 10, Manchester United's social media accounts posted relevant updates and pictures of Ling Feng almost every day.
For example, official makeup photos, first training, and team interviews.
With such intense publicity and the organization of some die-hard Manchester United fan groups, Manchester United fans flocked to the EA official website to support their football team. The Red Devils No. 7 voted for the team.
In just one week, Manchester United fans all over the world directly caused Ling Feng's votes to surge by 50%!
This also allowed Ling Feng to directly secure the victory. With his unparalleled momentum, he became the second English and Manchester United player to appear on the cover of FIFA after Rooney in 2012!
EA also attaches great importance to Ling Feng's fame and popularity around the world, believing that his huge influence among teenagers can greatly expand the popularity of the game among teenagers.
After signing a one-year endorsement contract with Ling Feng, he was also invited to participate in the global release day event.
This is also the reason why Ling Feng flew specially to Los Angeles, California, USA!
Los Angeles.
EA event site.
“Hey guys, how are you?!”
Following Ling Feng's wave on the stage, players and fans in the audience all gave warm cheers and applause.
At the FIFA17 global release day event, Ling Feng, dressed in a black suit, served as the cover character of FIFA17. He first accepted an on-site interview with the media together with the game director, producer and other senior executives:
< br>"I am very happy to be the cover character of FIFA17. As a game that I have played since I was a child, it makes me deeply honored to see myself on the cover of the game now"
Ling Feng did not lie.
When he was playing the FIFA series of games, of course, like every player, he once imagined that he would step on the emperor and punch the two heroes in the world of football games. He also imagined that he would become a gamer. Cover character.
After being reborn as a professional player, becoming the cover character of FIFA or Live Evolution, the two major football games, was also listed as one of the achievements that he must achieve in his career.
It is worth mentioning that the system thinks so too.
Therefore, after EA officially announced that he had become the cover character of FIFA 17, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind:
[Ding dong! 】
【The achievement "FIFA Game Cover Character" has been achieved】
[Achievement Rating: S]
[Achievement Reward: Prop Treasure Box]
In this way, he has at least caught up with Shuangjiao in one aspect.
That is to become the cover character of FIFA game!
“Okay, let’s have a game showdown between our cover star and our lucky players”
After the media interview session, Ling Feng conducted several game trials with fans and players at the scene.
FIFA 17 uses the Frostbite engine for the first time. While playing, Ling Feng can clearly feel that the player's feel is much better than previous generations. It is completely a next-generation football game.
Although he also plays FIFA on a regular basis, Ling Feng’s gaming level is still far behind those of otakus who invest a lot of time in the game every day.
After a few games, he basically lost.
As prizes, he gave his signed jerseys and signed games to the players or fans at the scene.
At the end of the event, he finally saw his star card.
However, the six attributes and overall rating on the star card are all covered by tape.
"Next, we will reveal the various abilities of Ling Feng's star card on site."
Looking at the star card on the shelf, Ling Feng couldn't help but sigh.
I think back then, when he was first added to the FIFA 15 game by EA, he became the only gold card player in Leicester City with an overall rating of 80.
In last year's FIFA 16, his overall rating continued to rise, reaching 84.
This year, his personal performance and team honors have reached the first peak of his career.
Ling Feng also predicts that his overall game rating will definitely skyrocket.
After all, as the best player in the Premier League, the assist leader in the Europa League, the European Cup Golden Boot and the best player, Ling Feng was second only to Suarez and Messi in terms of goals scored in the five major leagues last season. players.
The overall game rating of these two people must be above 90.
Therefore, he guessed that his overall game rating must be above 87.
Due to the interaction with the players and fans at the scene, Ling Feng’s six attributes were also announced one after another:
Speed 95!
Dribbling 88!
Shoot 83!
Pass 90!
Defend 60!
Body 80!
The overall rating reached an astonishing 90!
