Chapter 422: Shooting from left and right, scoring twice to defeat the gunner!
“Welcome to watch the twelfth round of the Premier League’s focus game brought to you by Sky Sports”
“This is the live broadcast brought to you by the Old Trafford Stadium”
“There are two pieces of bad news for Manchester United at home in this game.”
“Team captain Rooney was injured in a friendly match with the national team;”< br>
"And Ibrahimovic, the team's top scorer, was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards and was unable to appear."
"Manchester United's responsibility to win rests on the young people headed by Ling Feng."
“This game is also a game that tests Ling Feng’s ability to lead the team alone!”
“The starting lineups of both sides have been announced”
Since the main players in the formation have just After participating in the national team competition, both Manchester United and Arsenal have carried out a certain degree of rotation.
For Arsenal, the goalkeeper guarding the goal is still goalkeeper Petr Cech.
Jenkinson, Mustafi, Koscielny and Monreal form the defense.
The double defensive midfielder is Erneny plus Coquelin;
Walcott and Ramsey are separated on the left and right, and Ergo is in the middle.
The one at the front is Sanchez, the team’s number one player!
In this game, Xhaka, the team's summer champion, sat on the bench, and his replacement was Egyptian Elneny.
Obviously, Wenger also believes that Xhaka's slow speed and easy defensive shortcomings are not suitable for dealing with a speedy midfielder like Ling Feng.
It is better to let the tough defensive combination of Elneny and Coquelin
The Gunners this season did not have a smooth start.
In the first round of the league, they took the lead at home but were reversed by Liverpool. In the second round, they also tied with Leicester City away from home.
Nearly scored one point in the first two rounds!
However, with the integration of new players such as Xhaka and Mustafi into the team system, and the display of core players such as Sanchez and Walcott, the team quickly entered the state.
After eleven rounds, Arsenal achieved a record of seven wins, three draws and one loss, ranking fifth in the league.
While Mutsack was recovering from injury, the new central defender combination of Mustafi and Koscielny looked pretty good.
And Xhaka has repeatedly demonstrated his long-range shooting and long-pass skills, and his ability to attack and defend well, giving the team a reliable core in the midfield position.
Of course, the strongest part of Arsenal is naturally the frontcourt attackers composed of Sanchez, Ergo, Walcott, Giroud and others!
Victory over Chelsea 3-0 at home, victory over Hull City 1-4 away, defeating Swansea 3-2 at home, and sweeping Sunderland 1-4 away.
Whether it is at home, Whether on the road or away from home, Arsenal played beautiful offensive football.
Especially when playing away games against teams ranked in the middle and lower reaches, they completely demonstrated their dominance in the game, often winning by three or four goals!
In addition to the starting lineup that looks good, when the live broadcast camera is focused on the bench, many Arsenal fans will sigh:
When did our family wealth become so rich? !
Colombia national goalkeeper Ospina, winger Gibbs, Brazilian central defender Paulista, Bundesliga's best midfield candidate Xhaka, talented young players Oxlade-Chamberlain and Iwobi, the team's striker Gibbs Lu!
This does not include stars such as Ergo, Mutsack, Bellerin, and Perez who are on the injury list.
Before the start of the season and during the team review in November, many media and football experts analyzed Arsenal's lineup.
Some people even pointed out that this is Arsenal’s thickest lineup in recent seasons!
However, I don’t know if it’s due to the team’s veterinarians, but the team still suffered more serious injuries than other giants
Compared with Arsenal, Manchester United’s starting lineup, in addition to rotation, also appeared An unexpected change.
With Ibrahimovic suspended, the team must have someone at the center position.
Normally speaking, Martial, who started at the orthodox ninth position last season, will be the best choice.
But if he can be guessed so easily, then he is not Mourinho.
Mourinho did not choose Martial, but unexpectedly pushed Ling Feng to the front line to serve as the team's single arrow!
This is Ling Feng’s first start as a lone forward.
However, he is no stranger to playing as a forward.
Previously when Leicester City was still with the Three Lions, Ling Feng once served as one of the two forwards in the 442 formation.
Moreover, Mourinho specially told him before the game:
"You have only one mission in this game, and that is to find ways to score goals!"
Obviously, this is Mourinho's desire to further develop Ling Feng's offense.
He wanted to see how strong Ling Feng was, without having to think about creating opportunities for his teammates and just focusing on finishing in front of the goal!
After all, this 21-year-old young man has all the qualities of a super forward!
Amazing speed, calm handling in front of goal, outstanding reactions
After the game started, Ling Feng, who played as a lone forward for the first time, also quickly got into the state.
Unlike a forward forward like Vardy, or a fulcrum center like Ibrahimovic, Ling Feng is more like an all-around forward like Suarez!
Not only can he penetrate the space and provide movement support, he can also drop back to catch the ball and play with his back.
When necessary, you can also take the ball and blast it yourself, tearing apart the opponent's defense!
As for midfielder and forward, there is actually no difference!
When the game came to the 15th minute, Ling Feng dropped back to catch the ball again, and then played a one-two against the wall with Mata. After passing Arsenal midfielder Coquelin, he directly kicked the accelerator into the penalty area. !
"One-two! Beautiful!"
"Ling Feng enters the penalty area!"
Facing the double defense of Koscielny and Mustafi, Ling Feng He swung his right leg to shoot, and when Koscielny turned around to block it, he took advantage of the situation to fake a shot and dunk the ball to his left foot.
The next second, he moved his feet and shot!
With a bang, the ball shot out, passing through the gap between the two central defenders and hitting the goal.
Perhaps he did not expect Ling Feng to shoot with his inverse foot, and unexpectedly hit a reverse angle. Cech made a mistake in judgment and took a step towards the near corner, and could only watch the ball fly past him on the left. , got into the goal!
Just like that, Manchester United took the lead in breaking the deadlock at home!
One to zero!
“Wow!”
"One dunk with his right foot, one shot with his left foot! Ling Feng is in hot form this game!"
"This is his twelfth goal in the league this season!"
"This is It also allowed him to surpass his teammate Ibrahimovic and take the first place in the scorer list!"
"Not only that, he also topped the assists list with 13 assists!"
"How outstanding! Players! ”
Amid the cheers, Mourinho hugged assistant coach Faria on the sidelines to celebrate.
“This kid’s left foot is getting better and better!”
The words of the assistant coach rang in his ears, Mourinho just smiled slightly and said meaningfully:
< br>"Working hard will never let everyone down!"
Maybe others will be shocked by Ling Feng's inverse shot.
However, as the head coach and teammates who get along with each other day and night, the entire Manchester United team is very clear about how much time and energy Ling Feng has invested in improving his ability to reverse the foot!
Since joining Manchester United, Ling Feng has been practicing inverse footwork for an hour and a half after every training session.
Stop the ball on the wrong foot for half an hour!
Dribbling against your feet for half an hour!
An underfoot shot in half an hour!
Three months, ninety days, not a day without practice!
However, even they didn’t know that Ling Feng had actually started to practice his inverse foot since the offseason
After scoring the goal, Ling Feng also came to the sidelines, Blow a kiss to your girlfriend in the VIP box. The live broadcast camera also pointed at Barbara on the stand box:
“This is the goal Ling Feng gave to his girlfriend!”
"The love story of this golden couple is enviable."
"Hey, sitting in the same box as this supermodel seems to be the CEO of Tesla, the famous Elon... Musk!"
"Beside him, there is also Hollywood actress Amber Heard who is divorcing Captain Jack."
"Could it be that Ling Feng and Ma. Musk is a friend?”
At this moment, Musk, who was in the VIP box in the stands, stood up immediately after Ling Feng scored and applauded Ling Feng together with his girlfriend Amber.
The cheers of mountains and tsunamis echoed in his ears, and the stands turned into a sea of red. Musk was completely infected by the atmosphere of the scene, with a slight blush on his face.
Although I often watched NBA and football games before.
However, in comparison, the atmosphere of a football match is easier to immerse in and more exciting.
More than 70,000 people were moved by every move of the players on the field, as if they were in an independent space.
Looking around the entire Old Trafford stadium, Musk couldn’t help but feel ripples in his heart:
"Dream Theater, can people's dreams come true?"
What would it be like if I were the owner of this team?
This possibility is enough to make people imagine.
Unconsciously, Ling Feng’s words planted a seed deep in the heart of this technology tycoon.
. .
Manchester United, which had the advantage of home court, became even more powerful after taking the lead.
Especially Ling Feng, who single-handedly turned Arsenal's defense upside down.
He does not get close to defenders, but constantly intersperses his movements to create space for himself to catch the ball.
Whenever Ling Feng appeared next to him, Arsenal's midfielders and defenders tensed up and stared at No. 7.
Because, they know very well that if Ling Feng is allowed to get the ball in the offensive third zone, it will definitely pose a huge threat to their own goal!
Whether playing at the 10th or 9th position, Ling Feng's role as the backbone on the court remains the same.
The role of his teammates is to give him the ball to handle!
However, compared to when Ling Feng was in the midfield, Mata was able to connect the frontcourt offense and send threatening passes.
However, after all, it is not as good as Ling Feng who can rely on his personal ability to break the situation.
Especially under Wenger's targeted arrangement, Mata was closely guarded by Elneny and was completely unable to take the ball calmly.
As a result, the ones passing the ball to Ling Feng became the left and right wingers Rashford and Lingard.
As for these two people, let them break through or coordinate.
But let them organize?
No such ability!
With Arsenal's effective defensive strategy, Manchester United's frontcourt offense came to a standstill.
In turn, Arsenal also successfully delivered the ball to the frontcourt, thus playing some threatening passing attacks.
Fortunately, De Gea was in excellent form in this game and blocked the Gunners' inevitable goals twice, allowing the team to maintain the lead.
Seeing the Gunners gradually gain momentum, Ling Feng could only retreat more to catch the ball, and then organize and connect.
Ling Feng’s role on the court is not so much that of an all-around forward, but rather that of a No. 9 and a half!
As he retreated to catch the ball, Mata also had a chance to breathe and was able to gain more space to hold the ball, so as to exert his ability to organize and pass.
When the game reached the 37th minute, Mata received a pass from Ling Feng and was fouled from behind by Coquelin, giving Manchester United a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
Distance: 33 meters
Goalkeeper: Petr Cech
Ling Feng, wearing the No. 7 jersey, stood in front of the ball without hesitation.
Although the reverse foot has improved a lot, and whether it is right or left foot, as long as the shot is thirty meters away from the goal, the talent effect of [God of War Heavy Artillery] can be triggered.
However, at present, Ling Feng's left foot is not up to the level of hitting wherever he points.
So, without hesitation, he took a running approach and swung his legs!
With his left arm raised high and his right leg instantly tense with muscles, Ling Feng's whole body was like a giant bow, shooting the ball out.
As the saying goes, the bow is opened like a full moon, and the arrow is shot like a shooting star!
With the violent sound of breaking wind, the ball reached the goal in the blink of an eye.
The speed of the ball was so fast and the angle was so tricky that even the legendary goalkeeper Petr Cech could only look at the ball and sigh with excitement
Whoosh, the ball flew into the upper right corner of the goal, making the fans' hearts tremble!
“GOALLLLL~~~”
“The ball is in!”
“Arrow left and right!”
"The Red Devils No. 7 scored twice in the Dream Theater!"
"Let us sing his name loudly. Ling"
With the protracted tone of the stadium DJ, Tens of thousands of home team fans in the audience shouted in unison:
"Feng!!!"
Seeing Ling Feng score twice, Ferguson, the old red-nosed Scottish man in the stands, also laughed. Flowers bloomed.
And the eyes looking at Ling Feng were a little more nostalgic.
I think back then, his beloved disciple was also so high-spirited and helped him win against his old rival Arsenal many times, making his old rival Wenger put on a mask of sadness.
Yes.
When Ling Feng sent the ball into the gate guarded by Petr Cech for the second time in this game, Wenger on the sidelines was already looking sad.
Who is responsible for missing Ling Feng? What is the feeling of peak, then Wenger must have the most say.
Because when Ling Feng's contract termination fee was still one million pounds, Wenger took a fancy to this 18-year-old rookie midfielder.
Unfortunately, just like he missed out on Ronaldinho, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Su Ya and other future superstars, Ling Feng eventually became a member of the temperature difference lottery.
However, even as a super bole who has a keen eye and has trained many talented demon stars, Wenger was shocked by Ling Feng's rocket-like growth rate.
From his perspective, he knew that Ling Feng had a high chance of becoming a world-class player.
But he didn’t expect it to be so fast!
This young man, like an unstoppable raging wave, swept the entire Premier League and even European football in just two years!
In this game, the Red Devils No. 7, who has become a nightmare for the major Premier League clubs, also scored twice to help Manchester United defeat Arsenal 2-1 at home!
