Full-Level Pass, Please Call Me The Boss Of The Three Lions

The two sides have been in a state of panic, and the two sides have been in a state of panic.

Chapter 126: Passing two people in a row, fake shot and real pass [6,000 words chapter]

Of course, Mendes is not sure whether Ling Feng can resist the temptation of Real Madrid.

After all, that is the club with the most Champions League titles, the most valuable club in the world for two consecutive years by Forbes, and the richest club among the rich – Real Madrid!

If he also has the “childhood dream” like James Rodriguez, then this deal may still have a chance.

Of course, it all depends on Ling Feng himself.

Therefore, before asking Ling Feng’s own wishes, Mendes had to tell Florentino that he would discuss it with the player.

Florentino didn’t care too much, just changed the subject very naturally and invited Mendes to come to Madrid for a cup of tea.

After all, James Rodriguez was his first target.

As for Ling Feng, the English boy, he could only be regarded as a side dish at most.

It would be best if he could be taken at a relatively low price, but if he couldn’t be taken, it would not be a big deal.

Just as Mendes and Florentino were chatting enthusiastically, a warm cheer suddenly rang out in the stadium.

Looking into the stadium, Mendes found that the players of both sides had already entered the stadium!

“Welcome to watch the World Cup quarter-finals brought to you by Sky Sports, the match between England and Colombia”

“Let’s first take a look at the starting eleven of both sides.”

Due to the big rotation in the last round against Xiao Ri Zi, the main players of Colombia got enough rest.

On the other hand, most of the main players of England played the full ninety minutes in the last round.

However, in the final round against Costa Rica, most of the time they were suppressing their opponents, so their physical energy consumption was not too great.

However, in terms of physical fitness, Colombia still has a certain advantage.

Colombia’s starting lineup is basically the same as the one that defeated Greece 3-0 in the first round.

Led by James Rodriguez, Porto striker Jackson Martinez, Fiorentina winger Cuadrado and others are the sharpest frontcourt players in the team.

In addition to the starting lineup, Inter Milan midfielder Guarin, Sevilla striker Bacca, FM center back Balanta, Quintero and other powerful players are also sitting on the bench.

More than half of the players in Colombia play in the top five leagues, and their strength should not be underestimated.

As for England, they completely maintained the starting lineup that defeated Costa Rica in the last game.

There is no change in any position!

In football, both players and coaches have some superstitions.

In the coaching world, there is a superstitious saying:

When a lineup or tactic is effective, don’t change it!

Hodgson is also a loyal believer of this saying.

Since the starting lineup and tactics of the previous game completely suppressed Costa Rica and won the final victory.

Then, it is a very reasonable and wise choice to continue the tactical play of the previous game!

Both sides adopted the most popular 4231 tactical formation in football today.

And the soul of this formation is the attacking midfielder!

This formation requires the player who serves as the attacking midfielder to not only have the traditional attacking midfielder’s ability to organize and pass, but also have a certain ability to score.

Coincidentally, both sides have a talented attacking midfielder!

In the eyes of many football experts and commentators, Ling Feng and James Rodriguez have similar playing styles.

Most of the time on the field, the two use the open field of vision to pass the ball or cooperate with teammates.

Compared with Ling Feng, James Rodriguez’s ability to attack the goal is stronger.

Ling Feng is stronger than James Rodriguez in running ability, speed, defensive participation and the last pass.

James Rodriguez has average speed, average running ability and average ability to get rid of the ball.

If he encounters double-teaming, he cannot make effective breakthroughs or protect the ball, and the chance of losing the ball increases greatly.

However, when facing double-teaming, Ling Feng can use his top explosive power to make a breakthrough!

Moreover, James Rodriguez’s aggressiveness in the frontcourt is far less than Ling Feng’s.

Of course, the roles they play in their respective national teams are also different.

In addition to passing the ball to the forward, James Rodriguez is closer to the goal and has more firing rights, like a shadow forward.

Ling Feng is more organized and dispatched, and he will retreat or change positions from time to time, tearing open the opponent’s defense line through passing, more like a frontcourt organizing core.

Without the distraction of shooting and scoring, Ling Feng can have more physical strength to press and defend.

Defence.

In short, James Rodriguez is more like an assassin who lurks behind the striker and is ready to attack the second point at any time, while Ling Feng is a master of feeding the ball who cruises behind the striker and continuously delivers shells!

Strictly speaking, James Rodriguez is an excellent player with obvious advantages and disadvantages.

He is very strict about the tactical system.

If you build a unique style of play around him as the tactical core, James Rodriguez can maximize his ability.

In contrast, Ling Feng’s requirements for the tactical system are not so strict.

The reason is very simple, Ling Feng is more comprehensive than James Rodriguez!

What James Rodriguez can do, Ling Feng can do, but he just doesn’t do it so well.

However, what Ling Feng can do, James Rodriguez can’t do.

For example, pressing in the front court, getting rid of on the spot, and making soup on the side.

Therefore, Ling Feng can be seamlessly connected and plug-and-play in most tactical systems.

But James Rodriguez can’t!

Therefore, James Rodriguez is more suitable to be the absolute core of the upper-middle team.

There is a midfielder behind him to help him clean up his mess, and then he is given more freedom in the frontcourt.

And Colombia is such a team!

Originally, the core of Colombia’s frontcourt was of course the “tiger” Falcao, who once competed for the Golden Boot with the two heroes in La Liga and transferred to Ligue 1 for a record-breaking 60 million euros!

However, because Falcao suffered a serious knee injury in the French Cup in January, which directly led to the end of the season and missed the World Cup.

Therefore, Colombian coach Jose Pekerman can only entrust the important task to James Rodriguez.

The latter received the greatest support from his teammates, thus shining the most dazzling light of this World Cup!

When shaking hands before the game, Ling Feng also observed closely the young star who will join Real Madrid at a sky-high price after the World Cup.

It has to be said that whether it is European aesthetics or Asian aesthetics, James Rodriguez is a handsome guy.

The confident smile on his face is enough to charm most women.

“Of course, it’s still a little worse than me” – someone thought so in his heart.

Before the game, many English stars and football experts said that the key to this game is whether they can limit the core player of Colombia, that is, James Rodriguez!

As long as James Rodriguez is limited, this game can be won!

Of course, even if they are not professional coaches, pseudo fans who have watched a few games can say this kind of nonsense about limiting the performance of the opponent’s core players.

What specific tactical arrangements and how to limit James Rodriguez’s performance are the key!

Therefore, Hodgson specifically told Henderson to follow James Rodriguez closely.

The movements can be rougher so that he will not get the ball so easily.

And let Gerrard’s position not be too high, stay in the midfield, and make long passes.

Although for Gerrard, who has a strong desire to attack, squatting in the midfield to defend is a very frustrating thing.

However, he also knows that he is old now and his running ability is not as good as before.

If he attacks, he may not be able to come back.

Moreover, this is a knockout match that determines the outcome. You can’t not do things that are beneficial to the team collectively just because you don’t like it.

For the team’s victory, Steven Gerrard can make all sacrifices!

Finally, Hodgson did not forget to tell Ling Feng to press the two Colombian midfielders in the frontcourt, forcing the opponent to pass the ball to the side instead of passing it directly to James Rodriguez.

In short, other people can take the ball, but James Rodriguez can’t!

Of course, as expected, Colombia also thinks so.

They will definitely find a way to limit Ling Feng’s passing of the ball.

Therefore, the key to the victory or defeat of this game lies in who between Ling Feng and James Rodriguez can get rid of the opponent’s targeted defense and create opportunities for the team!

. . .

Beep~~~

With a long whistle from the referee, this highly anticipated strong dialogue officially opened!

England took the lead.

As Rooney knocked the ball back, Ling Feng took the ball.

What he didn’t expect was that the entire Colombian formation suddenly recovered.

Except for the single arrow Gutierrez who was at the front and slightly stepped forward to press himself, the rest of the players all retreated to their own half.

Seeing this, both Ling Feng and Hodgson on the sidelines realized the tactics Colombia had adopted on the field.

Obviously, the opponent was also afraid of England’s offensive ability.

When England was in control of the ball, they did not press in the front court, but retreated to the half court, compressed the space, and carried out regional defense!

When England was in control of the ball, they did not rush to attack, but through quick short passes, they first firmly controlled the ball.

After all, it was a knockout match, and both sides played more cautiously at the beginning.

Some of this is also normal.

As Ling Feng moved to the frontcourt, he faced off against the Colombian double defensive midfielder combination, Carlos Sanchez and Abel Aguilar!

Even Ling Feng, a die-hard football fan, had never heard of these two names.

In other words, these two people are not well-known stars.

However, the lack of fame does not mean that they are so bad.

On the contrary, the defensive strength and pressure of the two are quite good.

Whether Ling Feng retreats to receive the ball or runs to an empty space, there is always someone closely following him to give pressure.

The other defensive midfielder will stay in place to protect the area in front of the central defender.

However, Ling Feng is too familiar with such star treatment.

In almost all games of the Championship League and the FA Cup, the opponent will arrange a full-time defensive midfielder to closely guard him.

Or the two defensive midfielders will take turns to “serve” to ensure that he cannot easily get the ball in an empty space.

Some defensive midfielders’ movements are very clean, and they will only use reasonable physical confrontation to interfere with his ball;

Some are very rough, in addition to the footwork, they will keep scratching with their hands.

The two defensive midfielders of Colombia belong to the latter.

I don’t know whether it is the special tactical arrangement of the head coach or the Colombian players’ playing style is so unrestrained and rough.

Whenever Ling Feng gets the ball or is about to receive the ball, they will stick to him without hesitation and then directly confront him!

Bang!

Ling Feng, who just got the ball with his back to the body, felt a strong force coming from behind, and the whole person was pushed to the ground.

And the sharp whistle sounded again!

Turning around and sitting on the grass, Ling Feng protested to the referee immediately and made a gesture of playing cards:

“Hey! He pushed someone! No card for this?”

However, the referee from the Netherlands, Kuipers, just shook his head.

“It’s just a common foul.”

“Ling, are you okay?”

Reaching out and holding Sterling’s outstretched hands, Ling Feng suddenly stood up, then shook his head and said:

“It’s okay.”

Patting the grass on his butt, Ling Feng’s white jersey was already dirty.

Only ten minutes into the game, this was the eighth foul he had been violated by his opponent!

And this time, although the referee called the fouling Colombian midfielder Aguilar to the front and gave him a verbal warning.

However, he still didn’t show him a card.

And Aguilar, who was warned, spread his hands innocently, as if it wasn’t him who pushed Ling Feng just now.

Looking at Aguilar who quickly returned to his defensive position, Ling Feng’s expression was indifferent, with only a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Little guy, do you think this will scare me?

Not possible!

Ling Feng could see that the referee’s standards for this game were very lenient.

As long as there is no flying tackle from the side or from behind, there will be no card.

In Ling Feng’s opinion, it doesn’t matter if the referee’s whistle is loose.

Don’t be double-standard, just blow the whistle off.

And this Dutch referee is fair.

Just like Ling Feng was frequently violated by the opponent, he didn’t seem to take the yellow or red card, James Rodriguez was repeatedly violated by English players, but he didn’t give a card easily.

Under the joint defense of Henderson and Gerrard, James Rodriguez rarely had the opportunity to calmly take the ball and organize.

Many times he took the ball with his back to the goal, and under interference, he passed the ball back or directly kicked it to the side.

After ten minutes of the game, Ling Feng basically adapted to the opponent’s defense against him.

So far, Ling Feng personally believes that the strongest defensive midfielder he has ever met is Matic of Chelsea.

Whether it is physical confrontation ability or the sense of pressure in defense, Matic is much stronger than these two Colombian defensive midfielders.

Matic’s body alone is enough to make Ling Feng eat a pot.

The two Colombian midfielders can only use their hands, pull and drag, without any technical content.

After being called for a foul, they pretended to be innocent in front of the referee.

It’s just shameless!

However, this is also the way for these midfielders with poor technical level and only physical and running ability to survive in professional football.

Ling Feng respects the different playing styles of each player.

However, it does not mean that he agrees!

In the eleventh minute of the game, England got a free kick opportunity on the left side of the front court, and Gerrard and Ling Feng both stood in front of the ball.

Ling Feng covered his mouth with his hand and whispered:

“Do you want to pass it directly?”

Gerrard just shook his head, then bent down and fiddled with the ball, and said:

“It’s too far from the goal. You pretend to move forward first, and then I’ll pass the ball to you short, you decide!”

After stable performance in training and competitions, Ling Feng has used his

‘s skills have won the trust of his teammates.

Gerrard also believes in his heart that this young man, who is only 19 years old, will definitely be the midfield leader of England in the next ten years as long as he continues to grow like this.

Therefore, he is very happy to give Ling Feng more opportunities to perform on the court.

What’s more, in terms of passing awareness and vision, Ling Feng is definitely the most powerful and trustworthy person in the entire Three Lions!

Hearing this, Ling Feng was not surprised, but just nodded:

“Okay!”

After the discussion, Ling Feng pretended to move forward, leaving only Gerrard in front of the ball.

“Gerrard will handle this ball. Will he pass the ball to the front point of the goal or the back point? Let’s wait and see.”

However, just when his teammates, opponents and commentators thought that Gerrard would use a long pass to hang the ball into the penalty area, he did not do so!

Instead, he gently pushed forward and passed the ball directly to Ling Feng in front.

Seeing Ling Feng receiving the ball, Colombian midfielder Aguilar immediately rushed up.

However, Ling Feng did not give the opponent another chance to foul, but directly stepped on the ball with his right foot, pulled it back, and then pushed it forward with his heel.

When he increased the [Burst] attribute to 95, the speed of the entire [Pull and Call Back] skill was obviously faster than before!

Before Aguilar could react, the ball had already rolled past his feet.

At the same time, Ling Feng also completed his turn.

With a push of his feet, the whole person passed by Aguilar like the wind.

Even if the latter subconsciously reached out to pull, it was just a lonely pull.

This back-to-back pull and pass immediately caused a cheer in the stadium.

“Beautiful pull and pass!”

“Ling! Break through!”

Seeing Ling Feng pass his partner, another Colombian midfielder Sanchez immediately stepped forward.

However, Ling Feng did not choose to pass the ball, but slowed down first, then changed the rhythm, and suddenly pushed the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot, and directly made soup!

This is the breakthrough technique he learned from Mahrez.

Before breaking through, you can slow down first, let the opponent think you are going to pass the ball, and then suddenly accelerate when you relax your vigilance!

Originally, Ling Feng did not dare to break through like this.

Because he is outstanding without burst and speed!

Even if he makes soup, opponents with faster speed and stronger burst will rush in front of him and block his advancement route.

However, after the [Burst] attribute is over 90, the world’s top explosive power makes his breakthrough connection become silky smooth!

At the same time, it also becomes hard to defend!

Now he is no longer the same as before!

Sanchez did not expect Ling Feng to suddenly speed up again, and he did not expect that the speed of this black-haired boy was so fast.

Just a simple soup, he was like a wooden stake, and was easily passed by Ling Feng!

“Wow! Ling passed two people in a row!”

“He is still moving forward!”

After passing two midfielders, there is an open area in front!

Without any hesitation, Ling Feng continued to dribble forward while keeping an eye on his teammates’ running positions.

Without the protection of the back waist, the two Colombian central defenders did not dare to rush up rashly, fearing that they would be passed by Ling Feng and then have a single shot.

Therefore, they could only keep a sideways defensive posture and distance between their partners and retreat all the way.

As they pushed all the way to the outside of the penalty area, Ling Feng already had the space to shoot from a distance.

At this moment, whether it was the fans in the stands or the English coach and substitute players on the sidelines, they all whispered in their hearts:

“Shoot!”

“Shoot!!”

As if he heard their inner shouts, Ling Feng suddenly slowed down.

He raised his left hand upwards and swung his right leg back vigorously, as if he was ready to shoot from a distance!

Seeing this, the Colombian defense leader and captain Yepes immediately shouted:

“Chris, go for it!”

Just when Colombia’s right center back, Cristian Zapata, who plays for AC Milan, was forced to block forward, Ling Feng showed a mysterious smile.

He smiled because he had achieved his goal!

At the moment when his right foot was about to touch the ball, Ling Feng suddenly released the force and gently pushed forward with the inside of his foot.

Fake shot and real pass!

The next second, the ball stuck tightly to the grass and passed right between Zapata’s open legs!

“Wow!”

“A beautiful crotch pass!”

Just when everyone was sighing at Ling Feng’s extremely concealed pass, Rooney, who inserted from behind the defender and successfully countered offside, had already got the opportunity to face the goalkeeper alone!

Facing Ospina in front of the goal, Rooney was very calm and did not disappoint his teammates and fans.

He did not stop the ball, but went straight

Then he adjusted his pace and shot the ball into the far corner with his right foot!

He was already in the six-yard area, the distance was too close, and the ball was too fast.

Even if Ospina reacted quickly, he had no time to make a save.

He just raised his hands subconsciously, and felt a gust of wind passing by his side, and the ball hit the white net!

As the net rippled, the Maracana Stadium instantly erupted in amazing cheers!

After scoring the goal, Rooney’s face flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He rushed all the way to the corner flag area, then jumped up and hit a Red Devil uppercut!

After landing, he turned around and pointed his hands at Ling Feng who passed the ball to him, with a bright and honest smile on his face.

Ling Feng and others also came to him and hugged him.

“Wayne, great shot!”

“You passed it well”

One to zero!

In this focus battle, England broke the deadlock and took the lead just twelve minutes after the start of the first half!

And the one who scored the goal was none other than the Three Lions’ top star – Wayne Rooney!

“Wayne~~Rooney!!”

“This legendary English shooter took the lead and made a dream start for his team!”

“The shot was so powerful that the goalkeeper had no way to stop it!”

“Of course, the assist before the goal was even more masterful!”

Yes.

As the English commentator Martin Taylor lamented in the live broadcast, the most exciting part of this goal was not the goal, but the series of treatments before the goal!

Gerrard’s set-piece first attracted most of the Colombian players into the penalty area.

After Ling Feng got the ball, he rarely passed two people and advanced to the front of the penalty area to make an unexpected move for everyone – fake shot and real pass!

Rooney, who successfully countered the offside, got a great opportunity to challenge the goalkeeper.

And scoring a goal is a piece of cake

Finish up 2,000 words!

I will continue to work hard tomorrow!

Thanks to “Guangliang DB” for the many rewards, thank you!
