Chapter 453: Let me end the suspense of the Premier League championship! 【I didn’t cut it! 】
Winning Leicester City in the away game in the first round did not surprise everyone at Manchester United.
Leicester City this season, without Ling Feng and Kante, is at the level of a mid-table Premier League team.
Being able to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League is not only due to the team's motivation to participate in the Champions League for the first time and the team's resilience, but also due to good luck.
After all, the Blue Fox miracle last season shocked the entire football world.
In addition, Ling Feng Xia Chuang joined Manchester United for a transfer fee that broke the football record, which was also trumpeted by the major British media, and the traffic was directly filled up.
UEFA also hopes to create some program effects in the Champions League to make the event more dramatic.
No, the ratings and attention of the duel between Leicester City and Manchester United, the former and the current peak, are even higher than yesterday's powerful duel between Juventus and Barcelona, which they defeated 3-0 at home. A few percentage points higher!
Even compared to Manchester United's victory over Leicester City, the result of the game between Juventus and Barcelona was even more unexpected.
Yes.
After staging a shocking comeback in the second leg of the round of 16 at Camp Nou, Barcelona seemed to have exhausted all its energy and energy.
Ever since, in the first leg of the quarter-finals, the La Liga giant Barcelona, who came to the Allianz Stadium in Turin on the Apennine Peninsula, was directly locked up by Italy's chain defense!
Even with the strongest trident MSN combination in football, they failed to score a goal on the Old Lady's territory.
Originally, "La Liga's strongest gun" Barcelona versus "Apennine's strongest shield" Juventus is definitely the most watched showdown in this round of the Champions League.
However, both the process and the result are one-sided!
However, from Ling Feng's point of view, this is not surprising at all.
After all, this Juventus team is not simple!
Xia Chuang, under the wings of Ling Feng, the big butterfly, Pogba, who was supposed to break the football record, did not leave Juventus.
Instead, he renewed his contract with the club with a high salary and became the absolute core of the midfield after Pirlo left the MLS!
In addition, in order to fill the striker vacancy of Morata who was repurchased by Real Madrid, Juventus paid a record-breaking 90 million euros to acquire the "Serie A goal record" player from Naples for a record-breaking 90 million euros. Small smoker "Higuain!"
Moreover, Roma midfielder Pjanic was also acquired in stages.
This also leads to Juventus’ lineup not being too luxurious!
At the front, there are Higuain, Mandzukic, Dybala, Cuadrado and others;
In the midfield, there are Pogba, Khedira, Marchisio, Pjanic, Hernanes and other generals;
The defenders include the "three veterans of defense" Chiellini, Barzagli, Bonucci, as well as Alves and Benatia , Alex Sandro, Lichtsteiner
At the goalkeeper position, it is Italy's most stable link, the eternal "youngster" Buffon!
This lineup has world-class stars in the front, middle and back, with a reasonable age structure, talent and experience.
The entire offense and defense are balanced, and there are basically no shortcomings in each position.
The starting paper strength is top-notch in Serie A and even in Europe!
With Barcelona’s top-heavy lineup, losing to Juventus is not unfair at all.
Of course, compared to Real Madrid's 200 million bench, Juventus's bench can only be said to be average.
But who will be the substitute in the Champions League?
In addition to Juventus' "upset" victory over Barcelona and Manchester United's solid victory over the Blue Fox, the other two first-leg matches of the Champions League quarter-finals also decided the winner:
Atletico Madrid defeated Dortmund 2-0 at home, and Bayern lost 1-2 at home to Real Madrid.
The best player of this round of the Champions League was also given to Ling Feng, who had one shot and two passes.
He surpassed Dybala, who scored twice, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored twice at the Allianz Arena in Munich, to become the most beautiful boy in this round of the Champions League!
So far this season, Ling Feng ranks second in the Champions League scorer list with eight goals, second only to Messi who scored 11 goals.
However, his ten assists in the Champions League also allowed him to set a new record again, becoming the player who provided ten assists in his first appearance in the Champions League!
As a "rookie" participating in the Champions League for the first time, his report card of eight goals and ten assists is simply not good to look at.
Ling Feng is using his dominant performances to slap in the face those who doubt that he cannot perform well on the Champions League stage!
The little Champions League, I can take care of it directly!
. . .
In Leicester, Manchester United did not encounter too strong resistance.
This makes Chelsea, who secretly hopes that Manchester United will fight to the death with Leicester City, feel a little helpless.
Damn it, this blue fox doesn’t live up to expectations!
He was still the Premier League champion last season.
Why didn’t the two "traitors" Ling Feng or Kante get shoveled off the field?
More importantly, this Champions League four points The victory in the first leg of the final also brought Manchester United's morale and momentum to its peak.
Even after they played Bournemouth away on the 8th, they did not meet Manchester United until the 16th, which gave them three days more rest time than Manchester United.
Even though the main players have physical advantages.
However, facing Manchester United, which is currently singing all the way in the league and Champions League, Chelsea players and fans do not dare to neglect at all.
Everyone understands the importance of this game.
You must know that this head-to-head confrontation between the first and second ranked league players is also a key battle for the league championship this season!
As the chasers who are behind in points, they must win this game to retain their hope of winning the championship.
Once they lose, they will wave goodbye to the league championship!
On the afternoon of April 16, Manchester, which has always had strange and changeable weather, rarely had a sunny day.
This season’s Premier League has ushered in a crucial battle at Old Trafford!
The league's top team, the "Red Devils" Manchester United, plays at home against the league's second-placed and direct championship rival, the "Blues" Chelsea!
It is hard to get a ticket for this game!
Some people even asked for a ticket of 5,000 pounds on a second-hand website, but no one was willing to sell it.
In addition to Sir Alex Ferguson, who was present at every home game, and the Glazer family, who were eager to see Manchester United win the championship again, famous Red Devils also came to support the team.
Beckham, Neville, Ferdinand, Scholes, Roy Keane.
Just scan the stands and you can catch a Red Devils star.
This "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" is also taken very seriously by the Football Association.
Michael Oliver, a young referee who was specially trained by the Football Association, was appointed as the referee on duty for this title battle.
For Manchester United, this game is a game they must win to become the league champion!
Because, so far, they have only lost one game in the Premier League.
Just lost to Chelsea!
This is not only a battle for the championship, but also a battle for revenge!
As the star of the team, Ling Feng believes that he has a great responsibility to let everyone know:
I'm determined to win the Premier League championship!
Jesus cannot keep it!
I said it!
Although Ling Feng's personal confidence is booming, the atmosphere within the team is also very high.
Although Red Devils fans feel that this game must be won.
However, not everyone is so confident in them.
This season, Manchester United has played Chelsea twice.
Once in the league and once in the FA Cup.
However, both times the team lost the game because they rotated the lineup in order to focus on the Champions League.
Moreover, in the past twelve meetings with Chelsea, Manchester United has not won a single victory!
Judging from the past record and the physical fitness of the main players, Manchester United is still slightly at a disadvantage even if it takes advantage of the home court advantage.
However, when seeing the names of Ling Feng, Ibrahimovic, Kante and other main players in Manchester United's starting lineup, all betting companies and media predictions believe that Manchester United can defeat Chelsea at home!
You know, strictly speaking, this championship battle is also the first confrontation between Manchester United's main lineup and Chelsea this season! Red Devils fans are also very upset about their two losses to Chelsea this season.
They firmly believe that the first league encounter between the two sides and the FA Cup encounter were all due to the rotation of the teams.
If Ling Feng appears, they will never lose!
After the game started, the Manchester United generals were not polite at all and directly pressed out to attack.
Manchester United, which has the advantage of home court, showed its dominance as the league leader from the very beginning.
Champions are won by oneself, not by others’ mistakes!
However, even in the first twenty minutes, the Red Devils played very proactively and created many opportunities.
However, Chelsea's defense is not a vegetarian.
You know, the number of goals conceded by the Blues in the league this season is the same as the league ranking, both are second!
It just so happens that the number one ranking is still Manchester United.
Chelsea played very tough. The 343 tactical formation allowed them to accumulate more manpower in the midfield and fully utilize the width.
In this game, Conte also boldly chose Matic to partner with the young player Zouma who came as a defensive midfielder.
The reason why he would rather choose Zuma to play as a defensive midfielder than Fabregas is well known.
Fabregas is too bad at defense and cannot give Ling Feng any restrictions at all!
Zuma, with his explosive physical fitness, is a weapon against Ling Feng.
It is worth mentioning that Oliver, the referee of this game, has a somewhat loose punishment standard.
As for Chelsea players, most of the violations and fouls committed by Ling Feng can be called upon or not, but Oliver will never call them out!
Obviously, the FA does not want Manchester United to defeat Chelsea so quickly, and can only use this small means to prevent Manchester United from scoring.
Even though Ling Feng is now the top player in the Premier League and the star of the Three Lions.
Therefore, with the connivance of the referee, almost every Chelsea player who is close to Ling Feng Players have to touch him or give him a touch of body to be considered as completing the mandatory task of this game.
Chelsea's double midfielders circled around Ling Feng, trying not to let him get the ball easily.
And such a stubborn defense also made it suddenly more difficult for Ling Feng to get and handle the ball.
Of course, the physical confrontation between the defensive midfielder combination of Matic and Zouma is fierce.
However, it is still not enough to restrain him!
In the seventeenth minute of the game, Ling Feng hit the ball with his back and heel in the middle, stopped and passed to get rid of Zuma, then suddenly accelerated and drove the ball towards Chelsea's hinterland.
Then, before David Luiz grabbed the ball, he sent a very imaginative pass!
“Beautiful pass!”
"Rashford shoots!"
"Courtois made a wonderful save!"
Mourinho, standing on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, looked at the field. Looking at the situation, he also glanced at Conte, who was giving passionate instructions not far away, and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
In this game, Mourinho also directly used the "Herrera personal defense method"
No matter where Hazard goes, Herrera will follow him.
As for the remaining midfield defensive sweep task, leave it to Kanter.
The performance of the core players of both teams will determine the team's performance to a large extent.
Compared to Ling Feng who could not guard against both of them, Hazard was directly frozen by Herrera alone.
Without Hazard's breakthrough on the wing, Chelsea's two wings flying together is equivalent to abolishing one side.
Coupled with the fact that there is no passing organization from Fabregas in this game, Chelsea's offense relies more on breakthroughs from the wing.
Even Pedro is very active on the right, but with the combination of Kanter and Luke Shaw, he can't make any trouble at all.
Unable to create a threat to Manchester United's defense on the offensive level, Manchester United can attack more unscrupulously.
As Ling Feng gradually became familiar with the defensive habits and small moves of Matic and Zouma, he used his running to create more space for himself to catch the ball.
Once he can organize and break through with the ball in the frontcourt, Manchester United's offense will be able to hit the offensive third zone more frequently, posing a huge threat to the Blues' defense!
Even after twenty-five minutes, Manchester United had hit the goal six times.
However, Manchester United was still a hair away from scoring the first goal.
Seeing Ibrahimovic heading the ball high, Rashford's shot being blocked, Rooney's long shot being blocked, Ling Feng knew in his heart that he still had to take action himself
Second in the first half At seventeen minutes, Ling Feng dribbled the ball in the middle and broke through, but was hit by Zuma's bull and fell to the ground.
This time, Oliver finally blew the whistle and awarded Manchester United a chance to take a free kick in the frontcourt.
"Manchester United won a free kick!"
"This distance is about thirty-two meters, which is right within Ling Feng's shooting range."
"This season, Ling Feng has scored four direct free kicks, and all of them were within thirty-two meters." A long-range heavy shot from meters away!"
"And next, will we witness the fifth goal?"
Under the command of Courtois, Chelsea In front of Ling Feng, a wall of four people with an average height of over 1.88 meters formed, namely Costa, Matic, Zouma and Marcos Alonso.
Compared to Courtois and the Chelsea wall who were facing formidable enemies, Ling Feng stood in front of the ball with a relaxed and carefree face.
He first carefully observed the goalkeeper's position, then habitually took three steps back before standing with his feet together.
That figure can't help but remind me of Beckham and Ronaldo in the past.
Many people also had murmurs in their hearts.
Why the three most impressive Red Devils No. 7s in the past decade are all free kick masters.
Could this be the inheritance of the Red Devils’ No. 7 jersey?
At the same time, Ling Feng just took a deep breath, and then his eyes suddenly became as sharp as an eagle.
Let me end the suspense of the Premier League championship this season!
With a low roar in his heart, Ling Feng immediately ran toward the ball, then swung his right leg vigorously, and with a "bang" sound, the ball shot out!
The ball turned into an afterimage and drew a strange and deadly arc in the air. It first passed over the head of the wall, then suddenly accelerated and fell in mid-air, flying straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
Even though the Belgian goalkeeper Courtois made an extreme dive, he could not have even the slightest impact on the ball before it flew into the dead center of the goal.
