Chapter 437 The two hundred and fifth day of missing Ling
Lester.
Just over an hour’s drive from Manchester.
When Ling Feng took the team bus and returned to Leicester, everything on the street seemed so familiar.
When Ling Feng arrived at the visiting team's locker room, he was surprised to find that the visiting team's locker room at King Power Stadium was so small!
This is the first time he has come to the King Power Stadium to play as a visiting player.
Before the game, Ling Feng once again took the initiative to come to the home team's locker room to greet his former coach and teammates.
Returning to Leicester and the King Power Stadium, Ling Feng is still a little uncomfortable.
Once, he was the darling and hero of this city and this stadium!
Now, he represents another club, coming to this stadium that once shouted for him and crazy about him as an enemy, facing those who once stood on his side and fully supported him. fans.
This feeling is strange and novel.
However, people always have to look forward.
He is no longer a Leicester City player, but a Manchester United player.
And he came to this stadium for only one purpose.
That’s winning!
“Welcome to the twenty-fourth round of the Premier League, Leicester City plays the top team Manchester United at home.”
“This is Ling Feng’s first game back at the King Power Stadium.”
“Let’s take a look at the starting lineups of both sides.”
The moment Ling Feng followed Manchester United’s queue into the King Power Stadium, the entire stadium suddenly burst into warm applause!
At the same time, Ling Feng’s player makeup photos also appeared on the big screen in the stadium.
"Ling Feng, welcome home!"
In the shouts of the stadium DJ, the whole audience started to shout in unison
"Ling Feng!"
"Ling Feng !”
“Ling Feng!”
Such a warm welcome also moved Ling Feng very much, and he immediately raised his hands and waved to the fans in the stands.
At this time, he discovered that there were many Leicester City fans in the stands, wearing last season's jerseys, and holding scarves with his face on them, as well as large photos of him. !
He even saw a young football fan with a red nose and uniform, holding a homemade placard with both hands high.
It says:
"Ling Feng! Can you go home?! Please!"
Home!
What a familiar yet unfamiliar vocabulary.
Yes, Leicester and Leicester City were once his home!
As a superstar who came out of Leicester, Leicester City fans have nothing but love and gratitude for Ling Feng.
Therefore, a few days before the start of the game, major Blue Fox fan organizations have already planned this welcome plan in advance.
After a brief welcome, the home team fans also began to sing the team song to boost the morale of the players on the field.
Even though the lineup strength and league rankings of both sides in this game are relatively different, the fans are still their most solid backing!
In the first half of the season, due to the departure of the two core players Ling Feng and Kante, coupled with the huge changes in the tactical system, distraction from the Champions League and other factors, Leicester City struggled in the league.
Especially the defense in the midfield, simply letting the opponent take whatever they want.
So, in the winter window, the Blue Fox purchased the 20-year-old Nigerian midfielder Ndidi from the Belgian giant Genk.
Obviously, Ranieri and Leicester City hope that Ndidi will strengthen the team's midfield defense.
With the arrival of Ndidi, Leicester City's midfield defense has not returned to the level when Kante was there.
But it also enhances the interception strength of the midfield to a certain extent.
Coupled with Ranieri's changes to the team's tactics, Leicester City's recent performance in the league has also improved.
In the last round, they defeated Burnley away from home after three rounds and got precious three points.
These three points are very thirsty for Ranieri and Leicester City.
Although this season the focus is on the first Champions League journey in team history.
However, if in the end it cannot even avoid relegation in the Premier League, the club will certainly not be satisfied.
However, facing the Red Devils Manchester United led by Ling Feng, the Blue Fox, whose strength gap was obvious, was basically suppressed in their own half.
Under Ling Feng’s guidance, Manchester United firmly controlled the ball and continued
Under the opponent's repeated attacks, the Blue Fox defense, which was under tremendous pressure, also withstood several extremely threatening attacks.
Among them, Maguire, who served as the starting right center back in this game and formed the Blue Fox center back partner with captain Morgan, performed the most brilliantly.
In this game, Martial, who played as a temporary center forward, looked very active.
It can be seen that with Ibrahimovic absent due to injury, he wants to prove to the head coach and fans that he also has the ability to play center!
Unfortunately, he received Ling Feng's pass in the penalty area twice and completed close-range shots, both of which were blocked by Maguire.
In addition to keeping an eye on Martial, whether it was Ling Feng's corner kick or high ball cross from both sides, Maguire's big head almost always cleared the ball immediately.
Sitting on the visiting team’s coaching bench, Mourinho’s eyes were involuntarily attracted to the tall Maguire:
“This young man is indeed pretty good.”
Compared to Jones and Rojo, the two central defenders who started Manchester United in this game, Maguire performed like a god of war!
Of course, the outstanding performance of the defensive players means that the team is not far away from conceding the ball.
Because no matter how good the defender performs throughout the game, it only takes one mistake to make it fatal!
Even though there is an endless stream of cheers at home, the fans
Even though the Blue Fox generals are united and have a large number of manpower accumulated in the backcourt;
But they are the most ferocious in the Premier League. Under the offensive firepower, the Blue Fox defense without Kanter was still overwhelmed.
And the one who penetrated their goal was the No. 7 they were once most proud of!
In the 23rd minute of the game, Martial was once again caught in the double-team of two central defenders in the middle. Ling Feng, who got the ball in the middle, passed the ball directly to the left.
After Rashford got the ball, he did not hesitate and directly knocked the ball back to Ling Feng who was following in the middle.
Then he quickly accelerated into the penalty area!
Seeing this, the Blue Fox right back Simpson turned around without hesitation and followed Rashford closely.
Rashford's forward thrust not only attracted the full-back, but also Maguire in the center, who also took a step across to the right, blocking Rashford's path.
Based on Maguire's understanding of Ling Feng, Ling Feng rarely shoots without entering the penalty area.
Especially when playing pass-cut coordination!
Therefore, he felt that Ling Feng would definitely send a through ball that was accurate to a millimeter, pass the ball in front of Rashford, and then shoot.
However, he never expected that Ling Feng is no longer a midfield master who only thinks about feeding cakes!
But he is the number one player in the Premier League who has unlimited firing rights and plans to hit the Premier League Golden Boot!
Maguire's movements certainly did not escape Ling Feng's observation.
So he tried to pass the ball with the inside of his right foot, but with a flick of his ankle and a flick of the outside instep of his right foot, he directly widened the angle and decisively shot!
This operation also made the Blue Fox generals, including Maguire, look surprised: What? !
Cum now?
Just when everyone thought Ling Feng would hit the far corner with his shot, he deliberately hit the near corner of the goal!
With a "bang" sound, the extremely fast ball clung to the turf and turned into an afterimage, flying right past Maguire's feet.
Immediately got into the goal post and into the near corner of the goal!
But Schmeichel, who had judged the wrong direction, had no reaction at all.
Just spread his hands and shook his head helplessly.
Looking at all the Blue Fox players, there is only one thought in their minds:
Holy shit!
This boy has become stronger again!
Shoot more decisively!
“The ball is in!”
"Manchester United took the lead in breaking the deadlock!"
"Ling Feng scored his 20th league goal this season! He is only one goal away from teammate Ibrahimovic who is the top scorer!"
"Wow! Two players from one team took over the top two scorers. This is something that has never been seen in the Premier League!"
"And don't forget, in addition to the scorer list, In addition, Ling Feng is still far ahead of the assists players in other leagues in the assists list! "
"This 21-year-old British top player has gone from a wild imagination when he debuted to a legend today! Excellent at both shooting and shooting, he is becoming more comprehensive step by step and even more difficult to match!”
Under the commentator's passionate narration, countless fans sitting in front of the TV realized a fact:
With the occurrence of this goal, Ling Feng has achieved the goal for the second consecutive season [ League Double Twenty] feat!
Compared to last season, which took thirty games to achieve [double twenty goals and assists], this season, he has improved this record by a big margin!
It only took twenty-one times!
Data statistics are the most intuitive way to see a player's role and contribution to the team.
At this moment, all fans and fans who know something about football are in disbelief at Ling Feng's explosive statistics.
The league has only started in February, why is it already double 20 in the league? !
How about playing games?
Are goals and assists that simple? !
Every fan knows the value of the League Double Twenty.
You know, in the more than 20 years since the Premier League was established, only two players have accomplished this feat.
One is the "King of Highbury" and "The Great" Thierry Henry.
The other one is Ling Feng, who is recognized as the "number one in the Premier League" today!
And Henry and Ling Feng are also the only two players in the history of the five major European leagues who can do it.
This is something that neither pair of peerless heroes has ever done!
What’s even more incredible is that last season’s league double-twenty feat, which was comparable to that of “Emperor” Henry, was not Ling Feng’s limit? !
Judging from the skyrocketing scoring and assist efficiency of Manchester United's No. 7 this season, he even has a chance to complete the great achievement of double 30 in the league!
Who was the last player to score thirty goals and provide thirty assists in a single league season?
That goes back to
Oh, sorry!
There is no such person in the Premier League, even the top English league a hundred years ago, and the five major leagues!
. . .
After taking the lead in breaking the deadlock with a low shot in the first half, Ling Feng did not continue to attack more, but chose to provide the ball for his teammates.
Although when playing against your old club, going all out is the real respect.
However, he does not want to defeat Leicester City in the away game, which will severely damage the morale of the Blue Fox and affect the team's subsequent state.
Even though Ling Feng plays more like an organizing midfielder, under Ling Feng's command, Manchester United is like a Tom with ease, toying with Leicester City's struggling Jerry. .
But the counterattack that Leicester City relies on for survival cannot be fought at all!
Because, the one who repeatedly stifled counterattacks in the midfield area was Kante, the "Premier League steals king" who was still in the team last season!
Seeing Ling Feng and Kanter attacking and defending, Blue Fox fans finally understood what they lost last summer.
William who also came to the stadium for this game and Bob couldn't help but take out their mobile phones, open the club's family photos from last season, and touch them:
"The 205th day of missing Ling."
In the end, with the mutual passing and shooting between Ling Feng and Rashford, Manchester United defeated the Blue Fox 2-0 at the King Power Stadium!
After the game, Vardy found Ling Feng immediately and punched him in the chest viciously:
"You kid, you are so angry."
< br>Ling Feng just smiled, spread his hands, and explained half-truly:
"After all, your wives and children are in the stands, so you can't let too many of you in. It won't look good!"
"Damn it! What you said makes me want to beat you even more!"< br>
“Hahaha!”
After shaking hands with his former teammates and exchanging jerseys with Andy King, Ling Feng put on Andy King’s blue shirt without any hesitation. Fox number ten jersey.
Returning to the King Power Stadium for the first time, Ling Feng did not leave immediately. Instead, he came to the main stand and waved to greet the fans.
Looking at Ling Feng wearing a Blue Fox jersey, the fans in the stands also felt like they were in another world.
It is as if the dark-haired young man who led them to the top of the Premier League and the Europa League has never left.
Unfortunately, that is just an extravagant hope.
If Ling Feng was still on the team, Leicester City would not be struggling in the middle and lower reaches of the league.
If Ling Feng was still on the team, Vardy and Mahrez would also Not in bad shape.
Soon, among the applause, I don’t know who started it, and a familiar singing voice suddenly sounded from the stands:
“Lingfeng Lingfengling~~~peak!”
“ He is from Leicester and is our hero!”
At first, it was just some fans who loved Ling Feng in the main stand.
But gradually, the singing became louder and louder, and spread from the main stand to other stands.
“His passing is mesmerizing.”
“Ling Feng Ling Feng Ling~~~ Peak!”
“He comes from Leicester and is our pride!”
The uniform singing echoed over the King Power Stadium again.
This is also the time when Ling Feng left Leicester City. After half a year, he once again heard this exclusive song composed for himself by Blue Fox fans.
Ling Feng was deeply touched by the love of Blue Fox fans.
He did not expect that even if he left the team, the fans would still care about him and be willing to sing for an "outsider" like him.
He just pursed his lips tightly, trying not to let his emotions overwhelm him.
While bowing to thank the fans in the stands, he waved and patted the Blue Fox emblem on his left chest.
Finally, amid the loud singing, Ling Feng, whose eyes were red, just walked into the player tunnel with firm steps until he disappeared.
