Chapter 410: Play chess in silence and only speak when the opponent is checkmate!
From the cold and humid Manchester to the warm and sunny Barcelona, Ling Feng suddenly understood why many professional players would choose to come to this country to play and live even if they knew that the tax rate in Spain changed every year.
Because this country is really suitable for living!
When we arrived in Barcelona, it was exactly noon.
Although it is only more than ten degrees, the body temperature feels a bit like the bleak autumn wind
However, with rays of bright sunshine shining on my body, I don't feel cold at all.
This is Ling Feng’s first time in Barcelona.
As the economy and second largest city in Spain, Barcelona is most famous for its business card - FC Barcelona!
Barcelona is one of the two greatest and most successful clubs in the history of La Liga. It mirrors Real Madrid in the capital and is an important part of today's football.
Discounting the glory of the past, Barcelona today is definitely one of the strongest teams in European football.
Since welcoming new coach Luis Enrique in 2014 and joining Premier League striker Suarez, Barcelona has once again reached its peak.
In the 1415 season, they won the Triple Crown (La Liga, Champions League, Copa del Rey) with an invincible appearance. In the Champions League, they swept the league championships of various countries and finally reached the top;
1516 season , although they stopped in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, they still successfully defended their league and Copa del Rey titles, beating their arch-enemy Real Madrid for two consecutive years.
Although with Xavi traveling to the Middle East, "little white" Iniesta is getting older, and the team's midfield control is no longer as powerful as it used to be.
However, the team's forward strength is definitely one of the best in today's football!
In particular, Enrique's tactics of focusing on depth and speed are also very suitable for the current red and blue team with average midfield strength.
And the frontcourt trident "MSN" composed of Messi, Suarez, and Neymar is invincible in the world!
In the 1415 season, the three teamed up to score 122 goals!
In the 1516 season, the three people who had a better tacit understanding scored a terrifying 131 goals!
You know, Manchester United scored 49 goals in the league last season.
In contrast, Suarez alone has scored more league goals than the entire Manchester United team!
Of course, today's Manchester United is no longer the same in terms of offensive firepower.
In the eight league games so far this season, the Red Devils have scored 26 goals!
Therefore, the Red Devils Trident composed of Ling Feng, Ibrahimovic, and Rooney faced off against the "MSN" composed of Messi, Suarez, and Neymar. This is also a highlight of this game!
Due to the regulations of the Champions League, the two teams cannot practice on the field at the same time on the match day.
Therefore, as guests coming from afar, the Manchester United players could only arrive at the hotel to put away their luggage. After a short rest, they went to the Camp Nou stadium to get used to the turf in advance.
For Ling Feng, this is his first time coming to Camp Nou for a game.
When he and his teammates entered the stadium, the Camp Nou stadium, which can accommodate up to 100,000 people, was empty.
Looking around, looking at the seats painted red and blue, Ling Feng squinted his eyes slightly, and already imagined the scene of being surrounded by the noise of the home team's fans during tomorrow's game.
Previously, Ling Feng had competed with Luo Ge, one of the two prides, in the European Cup.
And this time, he was finally able to compete with the other two prides on the same field!
In this way, he can be regarded as achieving a small achievement of "competing with the two prides".
It only took him less than three years to go from being a rookie in Leicester City’s youth team to becoming a superstar in leading Manchester United against Barcelona in the Champions League!
In a sense, less than three years after his debut, he has reached the top of the football pyramid step by step!
You know, not every professional player has the opportunity to compete with Messi.
In addition to domestic teams in La Liga, clubs in other leagues must enter the Champions League if they want to meet Barcelona with Messi!
So, those who can show their talents on the Champions League stage are the best players in today's football!
Although the opponent is the La Liga giant with the strongest trident in football today;
Although it is still at the opponent's home court;
However, Ling Feng does not feel at all, On the contrary, I am looking forward to tomorrow’s game!
He is Ling Feng, and he plays a strong team!
In this game, his goal is very clear:
That is to win the game!
“It seems it’s time for the whole world to see what it means to be cool”
Actually, what no one knows is that so far, Ling Feng has not fully used his full strength!
Even in the last game against Liverpool, he did not use his full strength.
Even until now, he has never really sprinted with all his strength!
Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t work hard on the court, it’s that he can defeat his opponent without using his full strength.
With the overall improvement of his attributes, during the European Cup, he had the feeling that his opponents could not guard him no matter what.
The reason why they lost to Portugal in the penalty shootout was, in a sense, his fault.
Even though he knew that other teammates were unreliable, he still chose to create opportunities for his teammates instead of playing more personally and heroically!
If he used his personal explosive ability to continuously attack Portugal's defense in that game, then he might not be able to kill the game in extra time!
To be precise, Ling Feng has not really transformed from an "assistor" to a "terminator" role!
In Ling Feng's view, as an offensive midfielder, his main responsibilities on the field are organizing attacks to connect the team, sending threatening passes, and feeding teammates.
Unless the opportunity is very good, or the team is in trouble and needs to directly attack the goal, he will adopt a more individualistic style of play.
Otherwise, he still likes to assist his teammates and help the team win the casual game.
This is also the reason why he rarely scores goals against weak teams so far, but prefers to assist his teammates.
Because I am a loser.
So, he always feels that there is nothing to be proud of by mistreating others to score goals.
Scoring goals against strong teams is your real skill!
Of course, he also knows very well that in order to compete for the Ballon d'Or, scoring data must also be a big bonus.
Who said that goals scored against fish belly and underdogs are not goals?
A considerable part of Messi's 91 goals in the year were scored by underdogs.
But except for some Messis, who cares about his goals
They only remember that Messi scored 91 goals, breaking Gerd Muller's golden goal record in a natural year.
I only remember Messi’s explosive personal performance, which helped him win the Ballon d’Or that year;
History is always written by the winner!
Therefore, Ling Feng, who had figured it out, was slowly changing his playing style.
Not just assisting teammates, but also scoring more goals yourself.
In the world of adults, there are no choices.
Assists and goals, he wants them all!
However, in the eyes of the outside world, no matter how outstanding you are, Ling Feng is the best player in England;
Even if you just scored a hat trick in the last double red meeting;
However, in the face of the invincible MSN combination, there will not be many opportunities.
The Spanish media "Marca" and "World Sports" have reported:
"Manchester United will be crushed by the great Barcelona!"
"The Red Devils are defeated at the Nou Camp!"
Then, some media dug up what Mourinho thought of Ling Feng and Mei Spain and Cristiano Ronaldo made remarks of the same level, which led to a wave of ridicule.
"This game can expose the ugly scam of the British!"
"What a British star, what future world's number one midfielder, in front of the King of Barcelona, they are not worth it at all. Mention! "Messi will teach this kid how to behave!"
Under the fierce firepower of the Spanish media, the British media, which I had always liked most, also lost their arrogance and arrogance.
Some reporters who usually blow Ling Feng into the sky and clamor that Ling Feng is as proud as the other two, are like ostriches with their heads buried in the sand and remain silent.
After all, the opponent is Barcelona led by Messi!
Of course, as a weak side, Manchester United is not without supporters.
Famous players from England and the Red Devils have all spoken out in support of Manchester United.
It is worth mentioning that Lineker, the top player and famous plum player, is in a dilemma.
Before Ling Feng made his debut, he was a loyal Messi fan.
But since Ling Feng emerged in Leicester City, he has praised Ling Feng more in the media and programs, and praised Messi much less often.
Finally, after careful consideration, he tweeted on social media:
"Messi is definitely a player from another planet. However, I don't think Ling Feng will be much worse at his age."
"In this game, I think this talented young man showed his talent to the world. A great opportunity to prove that he is worthy of the Golden Globe Award!"
"From what I know about Ling Feng, the more important the game, the better he will perform."
"I predict this one. Messi will score in the game! Ling Feng will also score! Then help Manchester United draw with the powerful Barcelona!"
This wave of predictions also received crazy praise from Leicester City fans and Manchester United fans! Comment.
But except for a few British media and a few, media and professional journalists from other countries overwhelmingly support Barcelona.
Everyone thinks Manchester United cannot stop Barcelona.
Barcelona seems to think so too
Before the game, Barcelona coach Enrique and player representative Pique attended the press conference.
As a famous coach of the "Hutching the Dog Crown" school, Enrique is not that arrogant.
Facing questions from the media, he just said some clichés like "Manchester United is a very good team" and "Ling Feng, Ibrahimovic and Rooney are all capable of creating threats to us."
However, the tone was still full of confidence in the team's victory.
It is worth mentioning that during the interview, when asked how to limit the hottest Ling Feng in Manchester United, Pique gave a hotly discussed answer:
< br>"I have never played against him. But I have watched his game videos, and Ling Feng is indeed a very outstanding young man. However, in front of me, he definitely has no chance."
"I have seen through all his offensive tactics!"
It stands to reason that as Barcelona's core central defender and defensive anchor, Pique, who has won numerous championships and personal honors, is definitely much higher than Ling Feng in football.
Even so, Pique's condescending and arrogant attitude still cheered up the media reporters at the scene, and they immediately started typing crazily on their laptops.
This wave of blatant provocation was also hyped up by the media who were not afraid of making big trouble, and then spawned several versions.
For example, "Pique claimed that he could freeze Ling Feng" and "Pique felt that Ling Feng was still young and could not defeat him."
Ling Feng was not surprised by this.
Pique has always been so annoying.
Especially like to challenge opponents before and after games!
The most classic scene is that after defeating Real Madrid 5-0 in the El Clasico, he extended his palm to mock and provoke Real Madrid fans.
Of course, his high-profile operation sometimes overturns.
In a Spanish El Clasico, he once publicly declared before the game that "I have seen through all of Ronaldo's fake moves"
But during the game, he was broken through by Ronaldo and scored.
Whether it was teasing or ridiculing, since then, fans have given him the nickname "See Through".
How can such a player who does not respect his opponents gain respect from his opponents?
In other words, Pique has been a two-faced villain from beginning to end.
Whether it is always provoking opponents, stabbing teammates in the back, or future cheating incidents, it can all prove his character.
For such a provocation, everyone was hoping to see Ling Feng's response.
According to his silent celebration at the last Double Red Party, Ling Feng was by no means the kind of character who would swallow his anger when provoked.
Sure enough.
Ling Feng was not timid at all and went straight to the point of confronting him!
An hour after Pique's provocation, the Red Devils No. 7, who has tens of millions of fans, posted a photo of chess on social media.
And the accompanying article said:
"Play chess in silence, and only speak when you are trying to kill the opponent!"
Compared with Pique's talk at the press conference, Ling Feng's This wave of operations not only made a counterattack, but also directly opened up the situation!
The meaning of this tweet is very clear. It is obviously:
Don’t push me to do anything before the game. When it comes to the field, let your strength speak for itself!
In sports competition, the strong is respected!
With Pique's provocative remarks and Ling Feng's response, the already high-profile game became even more topical.
Soon, it was the day of the competition!
One hour before the game, the starting lineups of both sides were officially announced!
Barcelona, playing at home, is showing its full strength!
The frontcourt trio is the MSN combination of Messi, Suarez and Neymar!
The three midfielders are the "little white" Iniesta, "Professor Bu" Busquets and the "leader of the club" Rakitic in the Habaibu combination.
"Piqué" Pique and France's new central defender Umtiti sit at the central defender, with "Maggie" Mascherano and Alba on both sides.
The goalkeeper is "Little Lion King" Ter Stegen.
As for Manchester United, after Mourinho's repeated consideration, they also adopted the full lineup from the last game against Liverpool.
Obviously, he also hopes to use the strongest lineup to face Barcelona!
The focus of the Champions League, which is attracting attention from all over Europe and even the world, is about to begin!
