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

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 149 Is this a newly promoted team? ! [Four thousand words chapter]

The domineering celebration made all the cameras on the scene focus on Ling Feng who scored the goal.

Many old Premier League fans associated this celebration with the Manchester United king who raised his shirt collar!

“Wow!”

“Just 18 seconds into the game, Leicester City intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and launched a counterattack. After some beautiful cooperation, their No. 7 Ling Feng finally scored a beautiful goal!”

“What a dream start for Leicester City!”

“It is worth mentioning that this is the first goal scored by Leicester City after returning to the Premier League!”

“It is also the first Premier League goal of Ling Feng’s career!”

“Ladies and gentlemen, please remember this moment. We may be witnessing the rise of a superstar!”

Fox fans did not expect happiness to come so quickly.

They scored a goal just a dozen seconds into the game!

And the one who scored the goal was their star player – Ling Feng!

They gave enthusiastic applause without hesitation.

After showing off, someone raised his finger and pointed at Lingard who was running towards him:

“Jesse, great pass!”

Then, he turned his head to look at Mahrez who was smiling, and high-fived him:

“This leak was very cool”

“Hehe.”

Just as Ling Feng, the hero of the goal, was surrounded by his teammates, Pearson, who was sitting in the stands and watching the whole situation, excitedly high-fived Walsh beside him:

“Steve, we did it!”

“Yes! A great start!”

At this time, the goal was also replayed in front of the TV.

It was not until this time that the commentator in the studio and the audience in front of the TV realized that this goal was not due to Everton’s mistake, but Leicester City’s tactics!

From the moment Everton kicked off, the four frontcourt players of Leicester City immediately turned into arrows from a string, pressed forward collectively, and pressed frantically in high positions.

The most crucial point is that Ling Feng seemed to have predicted that McCarthy would pass the ball to the wing, and he accelerated and intercepted McCarthy’s pass.

Then he immediately launched a quick counterattack in the frontcourt!

Compared with the excitement of Leicester City players and fans, the visiting Everton players and fans were at a loss.

What happened just now?

How come the team lost the ball just after the game started?

Especially Ross Barkley, who was standing not far from Ling Feng, was in disbelief.

After a brief confrontation with Ling Feng in the midfield, he followed Ling Feng all the way forward.

Therefore, he was a witness to the whole process of the goal!

When he followed Ling Feng to the defensive zone of the defensive midfielder, Barkley gave up his defense and the team’s defensive midfielder Barry replaced him.

However, what he didn’t expect was that when Lingard went down the bottom, Ling Feng made a feint to run back and easily got rid of Barry, and accelerated to the top of the penalty area.

And Mahrez’s mistake deceived everyone, allowing Ling Feng to get a huge space to kick calmly!

Everyone knows the final result

This wave of rapid counterattack was initiated by Ling Feng, through Lingard’s forward cross, Vardy’s rush to the front point, Mahrez’s outflanking in the middle, and finally Ling Feng’s back-up shot.

The whole process was smooth and beautiful!

Such a smooth counterattack cooperation would not be surprising if it appeared in any top team.

However, it was a Premier League newly promoted team that just rose from the Championship that played such beautiful football? !

However, this goal was just the prelude to Leicester City’s fierce offensive

With Lukaku’s reverse kick in the center circle again, Leicester City’s entire formation pressed forward again, and organized the ball-holding player in the frontcourt.

And this time Everton learned their lesson.

Passed all the way back to the feet of central defender Jagielka.

Seeing Vardy rushing over like a beast, he didn’t dare to be careless and kicked forward.

With a “bang”, the ball flew past Vardy’s head, flew directly over the field, and hit Leicester City’s backcourt.

However, facing the opponent’s backcourt kick, Leicester City had already prepared.

The tall and strong central defenders of Leicester City are not afraid of this kind of long pass!

Morgan was seen sticking to Everton’s frontcourt fulcrum Kaku, and his hands did not forget to wander around Kaku’s body, trying his best to

Don’t let him get the ball easily.

Another central defender, Moore, stepped forward quickly, grabbed the first landing point, jumped up and headed the ball to the right back De Wright.

The latter took the ball and passed it directly to Mahrez in front.

The Algerian international did not dribble the ball, but directly tapped it with his left foot and passed it to Ling Feng in the middle, and played a two-pass-one wall match with him.

Hit the ball behind Everton left back Baines, and Ling Feng also rushed forward at the first time.

As Mahrez took the ball on the right, the other three players in the frontcourt had already entered Everton’s offensive third zone.

The whole process was not dragged out!

And this is the key to Leicester City’s tactics this season!

The reason why Leicester City was able to kill in the Championship last season, and the number of goals was first, and the number of goals conceded was last, was because their frontcourt attack was too fierce!

Pearson knew very well that the team’s defense line’s ability to withstand pressure could not withstand the bombardment of the Premier League giants.

Therefore, he decisively gave up defensive counterattacks and focused on offensive football!

As long as the frontcourt pressed the opponent to attack, the opponent would have no time to attack, and the pressure on the backcourt would be greatly reduced.

The two midfielders were mainly responsible for covering the midfield range, defending and intercepting.

Once the ball was in control, they quickly passed through the midfield and handed the ball to Ling Feng, Mahrez and Lingard in the frontcourt.

Then they reduced the time of dribbling the ball as much as possible, played more simple passes and cooperation, and reached the opponent’s goal in the shortest time to complete an attack that threatened the goal.

And this time, the quick counterattack after the steal also fully demonstrated the excellent tactical execution of the four frontcourt players!

Mahrez rushed to Everton’s left back Baines before returning to defense, and made a feint, flicked the outside of his left foot, and cut directly inside.

Seeing this, Everton center back and captain Jagielka immediately stepped forward to prevent Mahrez from shooting.

The latter just looked up, then shook his ankle and sent a highly concealed short straight pass to the middle of the opponent’s two center backs!

At the moment of passing the ball, Vardy, who was parallel to Everton center back Distin, accelerated and cut in diagonally, and turned around to complete a volley before Distin!

Fortunately, Howard focused and moved to the near corner in advance, blocking most of the shooting angles.

With a “bang”, this powerful shot was punched out of the bottom line by him.

This shot turned the cheers of the home fans, which were almost on the tip of their lips, into sighs, and then into applause.

After completing the save, he immediately clapped his hands and loudly “encouraged” his teammates:

“Damn it!”

“Come on!”

While the Everton players were still encouraging each other, Ling Feng quickly ran to the corner area, took the ball thrown by the ball boy, and put it in the corner area.

As Morgan and Moore, two high points, also entered the penalty area, Ling Feng took the corner kick.

The ball took a little rotation and accurately passed the crowd near the penalty spot and flew to the relatively empty back point of the goal.

Lingard, who was ambushing at the back point, jumped up and headed the ball under the interference of Everton right back Coleman.

Unfortunately, the header was a little off and flew out of the bottom line along the goal post.

Lingard, holding his head with both hands in annoyance, reacted and ran back while giving a thumbs up to Ling Feng in the distance.

The home fans and the head coach in the stands also gave him encouraging applause.

Although this wave of offensive did not result in a goal in the end.

However, it created a huge threat, which made Everton’s players a little breathless.

In the next fifteen minutes, Leicester City launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on Everton.

No one expected that Leicester City, which returned to the Premier League after a decade, not only took the lead in the score, but also suppressed Everton on the field!

You know, Everton was fifth in the Premier League last season!

Looking at the situation on the field, many Everton fans and football experts had the same idea in their minds:

Is this a newly promoted team? !

. . .

“If you just turned on the TV to watch this game, don’t be surprised. The team wearing blue jerseys is not Everton, but Leicester City, who are playing at home!”

“In the past fifteen minutes, Leicester City controlled 60% of the ball possession and had four shots!”

“And the Toffees, who were playing away, could hardly get past the half court and hadn’t taken a single shot yet!”

“And the score is one to zero!”

As Leicester City’s formation pressed forward, under the pressure of high-pressure defense in the frontcourt, Everton could only frequently kick in the backcourt, looking for the only high point in the frontcourt, Lu

Kaku.

Everton’s frontcourt attack relies heavily on Lukaku’s role as a fulcrum in the frontcourt.

Lukaku, who has not gained weight yet, is considered to be top-notch in the Premier League in terms of physical confrontation and headers.

However, his style of play and technique are far inferior to that of “Magic Beast” Drogba.

Especially under the close defense of two strong men, Morgan and Moore, he couldn’t even jump up, so how could he grab the first landing point of the high ball.

He couldn’t get the ball in the frontcourt, so there was no question of passing the ball to his teammates with his back.

Even if he occasionally grabbed a high ball and headed the ball to his teammates in the first place, the two midfielders of Leicester City would immediately arrive to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.

After a slight obstruction in the midfield, the four frontcourt players who pressed on would quickly retreat to the vicinity of the center circle and then launch a new round of pressing.

Such tactics are extremely aggressive. And it is extremely physically demanding, and it is a great test of the players’ tactical execution and physical fitness.

It was a bit like the high-pressure tactics that Klopp would build in Liverpool in the future, but it didn’t emphasize the overall high-intensity running.

Fortunately, the four players in Leicester City’s frontcourt were all relatively light young people.

And they all had good running ability.

Even so, after 20 minutes of fierce attack, Leicester City, who controlled the ball, took the initiative to slow down the pace.

After all, the game was not forty-five minutes, but ninety minutes.

And Everton, who took a breath, also began to press forward with a big wave of the head coach Martinez on the sidelines.

However, compared to Everton, Leicester City seemed very calm when facing the pressing of the Premier League team.

The reason is very simple, because they have Ling Feng, a midfield commander who almost never loses the ball in the midfield!

Once the midfield and backcourt are pressed, they only need to do one thing:

That is to pass the ball to Ling Feng who retreats to respond as soon as possible, and everything will be solved!

Of course, Everton also knows the importance of Ling Feng in the midfield of Leicester City.

As long as his passing is restricted, Leicester City’s frontcourt attack will definitely be greatly weakened.

So Martinez specially arranged McCarthy, an Irish international with excellent running ability, to guard him tightly.

If necessary, use more body!

However, close defense has an impact on Ling Feng, whose running position is erratic, but not much.

Moreover, Ling Feng does not give his opponent a chance to use his body!

Once he retreats to get the ball with his back to the goal, he will kick the ball out.

With Ling Feng’s retreat in the midfield, Everton’s pressing only looks lively, but it actually has no great effect.

As Everton’s formation presses forward, the entire backcourt space becomes larger and more opportunities are available.

In the 25th minute of the game, Ling Feng and Mahrez exchanged positions.

Ling Feng came to the right side, and McCarthy was also attracted out of the midfield area.

The “drinking brother” in the midfield took the ball and passed it directly to Mahrez who was cruising to the middle.

After receiving the ball, he turned calmly without being marked.

He looked up to observe both sides, and then sent a diagonal pass before Everton’s midfielder Barry pressed forward.

The ball adhered to the grass and rolled to the right side of the front court, behind Everton’s left back Baines.

In the process of learning from Ling Feng last season, Mahrez’s passing skills and passing accuracy have also reached a higher level.

Coupled with his own super high football IQ and vision, even if Ling Feng was followed closely, Mahrez could still bear part of the organizational responsibility.

Facing Baines, his national team teammate who was closely following him, Ling Feng was not polite. He accelerated and passed Baines and took the lead in getting the ball on the right side.

Seeing this, Jagielka in the middle immediately called his partner Distin next to him to block his cross line as much as possible.

Before the voice fell, Ling Feng did not even look up to observe, raised his left hand, swung his right leg hard, and kicked the ball directly!

The next second, the ball drew a beautiful arc in the sky above the King Power Stadium.

This 45-degree arc cross made many old fans see the shadow of the former Red Devils No. 7.

“Beckham’s arc?!”

Of course, although Ling Feng’s appearance and football skills are comparable to those of Beckham when he was young.

However, this is not an authentic Beckham’s arc.

At most, it is a high imitation!

This is the result of asking Beckham for advice when participating in a charity match in the United States.

The reason why Beckham’s cross is unique in the world is very simple:

His ankles are extremely durable and have a unique way of exerting force!

In order to pass a cross with arc and speed on the right side and just past the defender, the ankle of the foot must be tilted to a certain extent.

And the ankle must exert a little force at the moment of touching the ball.

Finally, the position of the ball will also affect the speed and arc of the ball.

Under Beckham’s verbal instruction and personal demonstration, and with his own passing skills at the top level, Ling Feng dare not say that he has completely replicated this move.

But passing a few “Beckham arcs” in a game is like playing!

And this cross with a full arc accurately bypassed the head of the Everton defender and found the head of Lingard who inserted at the back point.

Lin Huang only needs to lightly hit it.

The next second, the ball changed its trajectory, flew past Howard’s subconsciously raised palm, and went into the net!

I wanted to hold back a big chapter today, but I went out to do something and it was too late.

Damn!
