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

The new number seven is a symbol of the Chinese culture.

Chapter 146: The new number seven of the Blue Fox, the handle of the trident [four thousand words combined chapter]

The jersey number is not only used to distinguish the players on the field, but also a very important part of the professional football culture.

According to the position of the jersey number, the number seven is generally the number of the left and right wingers.

However, some forwards or midfielders also like this number.

And the most famous number seven in football is also star-studded.

For example, Manchester United King Cantona, Real Madrid Prince Raul, the popular Beckham, and Portuguese King Ronaldo!

Number seven is definitely a very popular number in football!

In the eyes of the club director and head coach, Ling Feng, as the team’s star player and tactical core, should wear a number that represents the core.

This is an honor and also a declaration.

Ling Feng wearing the number 7, which represents the core of the team, can convey a message to the outside world:

Ling Feng is the absolute core of our club!

Perhaps according to the position and playing style, the number 10, which represents the core of the midfield, will be more suitable for Ling Feng.

However, the number 10 jersey already has an owner, and it is Andy King, a veteran who has shared hardships with the club and has been promoted from League One to the Premier League step by step.

No matter how much the club values ​​Ling Feng’s value, it is impossible to directly take Andy King’s number 10 and give it to Ling Feng.

That would be too inhumane!

Coincidentally, everyone in the Leicester City club knows that Ling Feng is a fan of Beckham.

Beckham wears the number 7 jersey in Manchester United and the national team.

Therefore, Pearson specially called him to the office and talked about this matter.

Faced with this suggestion, Ling Feng accepted it directly without any hesitation!

Since he started watching football, he has always had a special liking for the number 7, whether it was because of Beckham or the influence of Ronaldo.

Now, wearing the No. 7 jersey of the Blue Foxes and playing for Leicester City in the Premier League and the Europa League, he is very excited.

He hopes that through his own efforts, this number will also become the legend of the Blue Foxes!

The next day, the club announced the jersey numbers of the first-team players this season on its official website.

Except for Ling Feng who changed from No. 23 to No. 7, the jersey numbers of other old players have not changed.

And the Argentine center forward Ulloa, who just joined the team for 7 million euros, took over Ling Feng’s No. 23 jersey.

Left winger Albrighton wore No. 11 and center back Upson wore No. 6.

After announcing the jersey numbers, Leicester City also released a short video:

The content of the video is Ling Feng, wearing the No. 7 jersey, standing under the spotlight with his back to the camera.

Then, he slowly raised his hands and pointed his thumbs at the new number on his back.

Finally, he turned his head slightly, revealing his handsome and three-dimensional profile and slightly upturned mouth corners!

The title of the video is also very cool:

“Premier League, please allow me to solemnly introduce the new number seven of the Blue Foxes!”

As soon as the video was released, the number of clicks, likes and comments soared rapidly.

It is worth mentioning that after the outstanding performance of Ling Feng and Vardy in the World Cup, Leicester City, the newly promoted team in the Premier League, has received more attention from English fans.

Not only has the number of social media followers of the club increased significantly, but the number of social media fans of the players has also increased.

Of course, among all the players in the first team, the most popular and famous one is naturally Ling Feng!

With the little warm-up of the video, the official store of Leicester City immediately began to fully sell Ling Feng’s number seven jersey the next day.

Although the enthusiasm of the fans was expected long ago, two thousand jerseys were prepared in advance.

However, the club still underestimated Ling Feng’s popularity in Leicester and even in England.

Before the official store opened, Leicester City fans lined up outside the door.

Their only goal was to buy Ling Feng’s No. 7 jersey as soon as possible!

In just a few hours, the 2,000 jerseys prepared by the club were sold out!

But the number of people in the queue outside the store did not decrease at all.

It seemed that all Leicester City fans chose to buy Ling Feng’s jersey to express their determination to support Ling Feng and the club!

The club’s commercial department, which received the news, immediately notified the factory to increase its production.

One by one, the freshly baked jerseys were delivered to the loyal fans of the Blue Foxes.

Until the closing of the store that day, Ling Feng’s No. 7 jersey was sold out.

As many as 5,000 pieces were sold!

In addition to the popularity of offline physical stores, the number of pre-sold jerseys on the official website is even more exaggerated, reaching an astonishing 5,000 pieces!

This part is the orders placed by Leicester City fans or Ling Feng fans in other parts of England and even other countries.

Adding the two together, Ling Feng’s No. 7 jersey sold 10,000 pieces on the first day!

This includes the slightly lower-priced adult version jersey and the more expensive genuine jersey.

The difference between the two is that the former is specially provided to fans.

The latter is no different from the jerseys worn by players.

Based on an average of 60 pounds per jersey, 10,000 jerseys are 600,000 pounds!

This is just one day’s sales!

This sales volume even exceeds the jersey sales on the day the team won the FA Cup at the end of last season!

This is enough to prove Ling Feng’s status in the hearts of Leicester City fans and his super popularity in England!

For this, the head of the team’s business department smiled from ear to ear.

It is foreseeable that the sales of Ling Feng’s No. 7 jersey will definitely exceed that of other Leicester City players, and even be comparable to the sales of jerseys of other famous Premier League stars.

And the decision to let Ling Feng change to No. 7 is extremely wise!

Just when Ling Feng’s No. 7 jersey was sold out, the team’s signings were also progressing smoothly.

Considering that the performance of the Belgian right back De Wright was up and down last season and repeatedly became a weakness for the opponent to break through, the team spent 2.5 million pounds to buy the 27-year-old right back Danny Simpson from QPR Queens Park Rangers.

It is worth mentioning that Simpson also came from Manchester United’s youth training and helped Newcastle win the English Championship and be promoted to the Premier League.

It has to be said that it is comfortable to get the wool from Manchester United!

After Simpson, Leicester City ushered in the most important transfer of the season, which was to sign the Argentine midfielder “Cambiasso” Esteban Cambiasso from Inter Milan for free!

Cambiasso, who just finished his ten-year Inter Milan career, played more than 400 games for the Italian giants Inter Milan and scored more than 50 goals.

He is also an important contributor to Inter Milan’s three consecutive Serie A titles and the 10-year triple crown.

This summer, his contract with the Nerazzurri expired and he finally chose to leave the team.

Considering the team’s lack of experience, Pearson went to Italy in person to persuade Cambiasso to join the team.

And the former Inter Milan star was also convinced by the team’s vision and goals described by Pearson.

Cambiasso’s arrival will definitely provide a certain depth and rich experience for the Blue Foxes’ midfield!

. . .

As the transfer and signings come to an end, the team’s pre-season preparations are also in full swing.

In the next five days, Leicester City played three consecutive away warm-up games.

The purpose of the warm-up game is to allow the new players to integrate into the team as soon as possible and practice tactics, and then let the players find confidence.

Therefore, the warm-up opponents are also more particular.

You can’t be too strong, being suppressed by the opponent will only hurt the players’ confidence and morale;

You can’t be too weak, if you are suppressed all the time, there is no value in training.

Therefore, the team first practiced with Preston and Milton Keynes, two English League One teams.

Let the new players adapt to the team’s tactics in the games with low intensity.

In these two warm-up matches, Pearson made a big rotation in the first and second half.

The starters and the rotations played half a game each.

Even in the opponent’s home court, the huge gap in strength still allowed Leicester City to easily defeat the opponent.

It was not until the third game that the team ushered in a slightly stronger opponent, the English Championship team Rotherham.

However, Rotherham, which was promoted from English League One to the English Championship last season, did not make Leicester City spend much effort.

A 3-0, easy win!

Until August 9, Leicester City, which had won three consecutive warm-up matches, welcomed the last warm-up match before the start of the Premier League, and it was also a truly strong opponent – Bundesliga powerhouse Werder Bremen!

Three consecutive away warm-up matches allowed Leicester City’s new players to initially adapt to the team’s tactics.

It is worth mentioning that Cambiasso and Lingard played the most outstanding.

Although he is already 34 years old, his running ability is no longer the same as before.

However, his skills and awareness are still there.

Perhaps it is coming to a new country and facing new challenges that makes Cambiasso feel motivated.

His competitive state in training and warm-up matches is obviously one level higher.

Moreover, Ling Feng is responsible for organization and attack in the frontcourt, so he doesn’t even need to make too many insertions. He only needs to give full play to his excellent defensive awareness and set up a solid barrier in the midfield to protect his slower central defender partner.

As a big star who once played for a giant club and won the Serie A and Champions League, Cambiasso’s strength is not unexpected.

On the contrary, the performance of the newcomer Lingard made the coaching staff and teammates shine.

The three musketeers of the Blue Foxes in the frontcourt each have their own responsibilities.

Ling Feng is responsible for organizing the attack, Mahrez is responsible for dribbling and breaking through, and Vardy is responsible for finishing in front of the goal.

The team’s frontcourt attack is carried out around three people.

Originally, the team signed Albright to add an extra point on the wing to achieve a tactic of fully flowing the ball in the frontcourt.

Unexpectedly, Lingard, who has excellent off-ball running ability, completed this task more perfectly than Albrighton and became the lubricant between the three musketeers.

He does not need too much ball possession on the court, but likes to run to the empty space to receive Ling Feng’s pass and then kick the ball out.

And compared with Albrighton, his ability to attack the goal is stronger.

Receiving the ball from the left or cutting in to make a kick is also very threatening.

After three games, Lin Huang scored two goals and one assist, almost seamlessly, and became the halberd of the Blue Fox front trident!

As the saying goes, there was Zhou Lang in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and there is Lin Huang in Leicester City!

“Commander Cambiasso”, “Lin Huang” Lingard, Ulloa, Danny Simpson

From the perspective of lineup strength alone, Leicester City is definitely stronger than last year!

And the improvement in strength is also fully reflected in the game against the Bundesliga team Bremen

Bremen, which ranked 12th in the Bundesliga last season, has won four Bundesliga titles in history and is a traditional Bundesliga team.

Although there have been German legendary striker Klose, German champion central defender Mertesacker, Erdog, Pizarro and other stars, they have also won the German Cup and reached the final of the UEFA Cup.

However, with the continuous departure of stars, Bremen has been hovering in the middle in recent years.

Now, the most famous star in Bremen may be the Austrian international Junuzovic.

Facing the Bundesliga team for the first time, the Foxes were not cautious at all, but chose to take the initiative.

This season, Pearson’s tactical thinking is very clear, that is, attack instead of defense!

The front court has Ling Feng, Vardy, and Mahrez, a super trio that has scored 80% of the team’s goals. If he still plays a defensive counterattack, he is mentally ill!

Fully utilizing the offensive talents of the “Fox Three Musketeers”, simplifying the offensive routines, and carrying out the fast attack to the end is the best tactic.

His purpose is very clear, that is, to lead the Foxes in the Premier League and the Europa League, and set off a wave of offensive football!

Bremen did not expect that this Premier League promoted team was so reckless and launched a fierce attack right away:

In the fifth minute of the game, Leicester City played a smooth pass and cut cooperation in the front court, and finally Mahrez made a triangle cross from the right, and Ling Feng pushed the low shot into the near corner!

In the 15th minute of the game, Cambiasso intercepted the ball in the midfield and passed it to Mahrez on the right.

The latter dribbled forward and passed it directly to the opponent’s ribs. Ling Feng, who inserted the ball, made a curved pass to find the back point without stopping the ball.

Lin Huang, who inserted the ball later, headed the rebound ball and penetrated the goal guarded by Bremen goalkeeper Wolf again!

In the 37th minute of the game, Ling Feng pulled the ball away from the midfield with his back to the goal, and then passed a surgical pass. Vardy went to the meeting alone and pushed the ball into the goal!

In the first half, Leicester City, who played with all the starting players, cleanly hit Bremen three times, which directly stunned this friend from the Bundesliga.

What’s going on?

Isn’t this team wearing blue jerseys a newly promoted team in the Premier League?

Did we meet the wrong team? The opponent is not the “Foxes” but the “Blues”? !

In the second half, Leicester City stopped when they saw the good and carried out a comprehensive rotation.

In addition to the Premier League this season, they also have the Europa League, FA Cup, League Cup and other competitions.

So how to reasonably rotate to keep the team stable is also a big test for Pearson this season.

Finally, facing Leicester City’s substitute lineup, Bremen recovered a goal, which can be regarded as regaining some face.

After the last pre-season warm-up match, Leicester City’s players were full of confident smiles.

They clearly felt that the team’s strength has been greatly improved.

Especially the offense, it is as smooth as mercury pouring on the ground, flowing like clouds and water.

They are very optimistic about their prospects in the Premier League.

And Pearson on the sidelines, his brows were relaxed and his expression was relaxed.

Judging from the players’ game status, the Foxes are ready!

And he can’t wait to compete with the other 19 teams in the Premier League!
