The new season is coming, and the new season is coming.

Chapter 147 Season Preview, King of Stalkers Showdown [4,000-word chapter]

August 10.

With less than a week to go before the Premier League kicks off, major media magazines, TV commentators and football experts have written columns to analyze and look forward to the upcoming Premier League season:

First, the strong contenders for this year’s Premier League championship!

Most media magazines and football experts believe that this season’s champion will be the defending champion Manchester City and the “Blue Army” Chelsea.

Last season, with Ferguson’s retirement, the Red Devils Empire he personally built collapsed.

The Premier League has officially entered an era of competition among the heroes!

Last season, the Premier League championship group was Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool, all of which had a chance to win the championship.

In the first half, Arsenal was in the lead.

But after the winter window, Arsenal unexpectedly began to lose the chain.

Under the super performance of “biting striker” Suarez, Liverpool has kept the championship suspense until the last few rounds.

Unfortunately, Gerrard’s slip made the efforts of the whole season come to nothing.

With the help of Chelsea, Manchester City completed the drama of reversing and winning the championship.

This season, Suarez left Barcelona, ​​and even if players such as Lallana, Lovren, Lambert and Emre Can were introduced, they could not fill the attack of the Premier League Golden Boot.

Arsenal has always liked to lose the chain and has no championship appearance at all.

Although due to Walcott’s injury and Podolski’s lack of wing explosiveness, Wenger gritted his teeth and spent 35 million pounds to get Barcelona’s “thigh” Sanchez.

The midfield and frontcourt continue to maintain strong offensive creativity and competitiveness.

However, with the transfer of team captain Vermaelen to Barcelona, ​​Sagna and Giroud’s transfers, Newcastle defender Debuchy and young player Chambers have been added.

The criticized lack of depth in the midfield and backcourt will definitely become a hidden danger for the Gunners in this long season.

Therefore, most football experts are still optimistic about Manchester City and Chelsea’s championship this season.

Although the former was affected by the fair competition policy and did not spend money everywhere.

However, the “Chilean engineer” Pellegrini still brought Fernando, Sagna, Mangala, Caballero and other powerful midfield and backcourt players to the Blue Moon.

In addition, the championship lineup framework composed of Aguero, David Silva, Yaya Toure, Kompany, Joe Hart and others has not been affected.

A stable lineup framework and morale are the capital for them to continue to compete for the championship this season!

The latter has officially entered Mourinho’s second year.

The so-called “Mourinho’s second year” refers to Mourinho’s second season in charge of the team, which is often the period when the team’s combat effectiveness is the strongest.

Most of the championships in the Portuguese “madman”‘s coaching career were won during Mourinho’s second year.

Moreover, Chelsea has frequently attacked in the transfer market this season, buying “Glorious Beauty” Diego Costa, “Little Fa” Fabregas, and “Old Monster” Drogba

The problem of insufficient offensive firepower last season has been solved, and the madman will definitely aim for the championship this season!

Of course, the Premier League championship has basically nothing to do with Leicester City.

In the eyes of most people, Leicester City can be relegated this season, which is considered a success!

The relegation situation this season will definitely be as fierce as ever.

In the Premier League, there is a so-called 40-point relegation standard line.

In other words, if you want to stay in the Premier League, you can get 40 points in 38 rounds of the league, which is basically stable.

Of course, this statement is not absolute.

Two extreme examples:

In the 2004-2005 season, West Bromwich Albion only got 34 points and still managed to stay in the league;

In the 2002-2003 season, the “Hammer Gang” West Ham United got 42 points and was still relegated!

Therefore, the media and football experts listed five teams that may struggle in the relegation zone:

Southampton, Hull City, Leicester City, Burnley, Queens Park Rangers!

Southampton, which was the eighth in the league as a dark horse last season, was dismembered this season!

Head coach Pochettino was poached by Tottenham.

After buying Suarez, Liverpool, which had a huge amount of money, took away three core players in the team, Lallana, Lovren and Lambert.

In addition to Luke Shaw, who was favored by Manchester United, Southampton was almost going to have a farewell dinner.

It is no wonder that the public has experienced such a large loss of the lineup in a short time.

Not optimistic about Southampton’s prospects;

Last season, Hull City, which focused on the FA Cup, barely managed to avoid relegation.

Hull City was trapped by finances and could not make too many targeted reinforcements.

Moreover, judging from the team’s playing style, the frontcourt’s offensive ability is insufficient and it is difficult to score goals.

However, Bruce did not care much and bought players such as Tottenham center back Dawson, English League One air master Maguire, and Scottish sideback Andrew Robertson to continue to strengthen the depth of the midfield and backcourt.

Obviously, he knows the truth that “offense wins games and defense wins championships”!

The remaining three teams are the newly promoted teams from the Championship this season.

Burnley basically did not spend much money on transfers. Most of the players signed were veterans, and they had no Premier League experience and limited strength.

Obviously, Burnley’s boss just wanted to get addicted to the Premier League and return to the Championship after earning a wave of broadcasting fees.

Queens Park Rangers, under the leadership of new coach Harry Redknapp, once again returned to the Premier League.

Having coached in the Premier League for many years and having won the Premier League Coach of the Season, Harry Redknapp knows that the Premier League is very difficult.

Like Bruce, he also focuses on strengthening the strength of the players in the midfield and backcourt, intending to gain a foothold with defense.

After all, QPR is not like Tottenham, which he coached a few years ago, with talented stars such as Bale, Van der Vaart, and Modric.

Being pragmatic in defense and taking every point is the key to the survival of weak teams in the Premier League!

Finally, there is Leicester City, the “Championship Overlord” who has no rivals in the Championship.

Throughout the summer window, Leicester City’s transfer operations can be said to satisfy and excite the fans!

Especially the joining of former giants such as Cambiasso is surprising.

Football legends, commentators from TV stations such as Sky Sports and BBC Sports, many football reporters and experts, including fans, believe that Leicester City has a high chance of successfully staying in the league this season.

Even if they rank in the top half of the division, it would not be surprising.

The core of the Blue Foxes is Ling Feng, the rising star of the British Empire!

In the eyes of football experts and fans, Leicester City’s performance depends largely on the performance of Ling Feng, Vardy and Mahrez.

If this strongest trident in the English Championship can adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League in a short period of time, the team’s offense will definitely cause trouble for other Premier League teams!

Especially Ling Feng, who is only 19 years old and has the responsibility of being the core of the team, whether he can play the role of a big man in a small team and lead Leicester City to gain a foothold in the Premier League will be a huge test for him!

In the Three Lions, he has shown a certain leadership temperament and his big heart in key games.

As long as the Blue Foxes are around him and united, relegation is not a problem at all.

Judging from the odds given by the betting handicap, Leicester City’s relegation odds are still higher than Burnley, Queens Park Rangers and Hull City.

This shows that the public is also optimistic that they can successfully stay in the league.

After easily defeating the Bundesliga team Bremen, the morale and atmosphere in Leicester City’s locker room were very relaxed and harmonious.

Head coach Pearson did not shout out any slogans such as “stay in the league” or “impact the middle”.

He just repeatedly told the players not to be stressed and to perform at the normal level of training on the field.

As a newly promoted team, the expectations they carry are almost zero, and they just need to play to their heart’s content on the field.

The result will be known!

In Ling Feng’s view, Leicester City’s relegation in the Premier League is simply a piece of cake.

To stay in the league, you don’t need to get 40 points at all.

Among the 20 Premier League teams, the three teams with the lowest points will be relegated.

So, as long as Leicester City can rank fourth from the bottom, they can successfully stay in the league!

In other words, they only need to have more points than the other three Premier League teams to stay in the league.

The three teams that were promoted from the Championship to the Premier League, in addition to Leicester City, are Burnley and Queens Park Rangers.

These two teams are the main competitors of Leicester City to avoid relegation.

But these two teams were defeated by Leicester City in the Championship.

Whether it is him, Vardy or Mahrez, they have experienced the experience of the World Cup and become stronger.

In addition to the addition of new players such as Cambiasso, Lingard, Ulloa, and Albrighton, the team’s lineup and strength are much stronger than in the Championship.

Ling Feng can say with full confidence that he will win against these two teams!

Winning four home and away games against Burnley and Queens Park Rangers is a stable 12 points.

Get some points from other mid- and lower-level teams to avoid relegation.

It’s a piece of cake.

Of course, Ling Feng’s goal has never been to lead Leicester City to relegation in the Premier League.

Not only in the Premier League, but also in the Europa League, he hopes to help the team go as far as possible!

. . .

On August 12, there are still four days before the 14-15 Premier League season officially kicks off.

On this day, after Ling Feng finished the training session with the team, he took a shower, changed into a training suit, and came to the media interview room to accept an exclusive interview with a Sky Sports reporter.

This interview is part of Sky Sports’ Premier League preview program.

It mainly interviews the head coaches and players of the 20 Premier League teams and asks them to talk about their feelings and goals for the new season.

As the face and appearance of Leicester City, Ling Feng is naturally the first choice.

Sitting in the chair, facing the camera, Ling Feng smiled brightly and greeted the camera:

“Hey, guys, this is Ling Feng. Welcome to Sky Sports!”

“Ling, nice to meet you.”

“You are about to face your first Premier League game in your career, how do you feel?”

“Very excited and very excited. Playing in the Premier League is my childhood dream, and now it can be said that my dream has come true!”

“What do you think is the difference between the Championship and the Premier League?”

“Compared to the Championship, the difficulty of the Premier League game is definitely greater. The Premier League has the best coaches and players”

“You won all four pre-season warm-up games. Does this mean that you are ready to deal with the Premier League?”

“The team atmosphere is very good now, and every player is in great shape. We can’t wait to start the game”

“You will play against Everton in the first round. Are you confident of winning?”

On August 16, Leicester City’s first Premier League game will be against the “Toffees” Everton at home.

In Everton, there are many familiar faces of Ling Feng, such as Everton’s main defenders Baines and Jagielka, who are his national team teammates.

There are also Mirallas, Eto’o, Barkley, Tim Howard, etc.

Of course, the one who cares most about Everton is definitely Romelu Lukaku, who is known as the “little monster”!

Ling Feng did not expect that in his first game in the Premier League, he would meet another king of football, Kaku.

It’s funny to say that there are two kings of football, one is his current teammate Lin Huang, and the other is his first Premier League opponent.

Who is better in the battle of kings?

Shaking his head and throwing this interesting idea behind his mind, Ling Feng answered casually:

“Of course! We are satisfied with the pre-season preparations, and we are very confident that with the support of the home fans, we can get a good start”

The interview lasted for fifteen minutes, and many questions were asked, and Ling Feng answered truthfully.

After the interview, the reporter suddenly called Ling Feng, and then quickly took out a pure white T-shirt from his briefcase, and came to him somewhat embarrassedly:

“Ling, my daughter is your loyal fan, can you sign this T-shirt?”

“Of course.”

While taking the marker handed over by the club staff, Ling Feng asked casually:

“What’s your daughter’s name?”

“Alice.”

After a pause, the reporter took out his wallet from his suit pocket and handed the family photo in the wallet to Ling Feng to look at.

There is a family of three in the photo, and the girl is probably in her teens and looks very cute.

“She’s cute.”

“Isn’t it, hehe”

Perhaps Ling Feng’s kind attitude made him relax a lot, the reporter started to complain directly:

“I have to say, you are so popular yesterday. I went to the fan store and lined up for three hours. When it was almost my turn, they said your jersey was sold out!”

“I want to place an order online, but it will take another week to arrive”

“So, today I brought this T-shirt to you for autograph”

After hearing this, Ling Feng realized that his jersey was so popular!

And this reporter’s father actually lined up for three hours for his daughter, just to buy his own jersey? !

This is definitely a good father!

While he was touched, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and looked at the club staff beside him, and asked:

“Alan, do I have any extra jerseys in the equipment room?”

“There should be a few.”

“Please bring me one!”

“Okay.”

The club always prepares a few more sets of players’ jerseys in case they need to be replaced or given to fans.

After signing the jerseys, Ling Feng also took a photo with the reporter holding the jerseys.

“Thank you very much, Ling, this means a lot to my daughter.

“It is a great honor.”

“Thank Alice for me. I hope she will continue to support me and Leicester City.”

“Definitely!”

While saying this, the reporter who has supported Arsenal since childhood secretly decided in his heart:

From today on, I am a fan of Ling Feng!

I am writing the second chapter. I may write a big chapter and then post two chapters tomorrow
