The first time, the second time.

Chapter 150 Want to defend me? You can try! [4,000 words combined chapter]

“Wow!”

“What did I see!”

“This is the iconic Beckham-style cross that has disappeared in the Premier League for a long time!!”

“I heard that Ling Feng went to the United States this summer and participated in Beckham’s charity match.”

“It seems that he learned a lot from Beckham”

Seeing that he scored in his first Premier League game, Lingard suddenly showed a bright smile on his face.

The next second, he was about to rush to the corner flag area, but as if he suddenly thought of something, his footsteps paused.

Then he turned around and ran all the way, rushing towards Ling Feng who passed him a beautiful cross.

Ling Feng opened his arms to welcome him, but Lin Huang directly put his arms around his waist and lifted him up high.

Then he put him down, and Lin Huang said to Ling Feng excitedly:

“Dude! Your pass is so damn accurate!”

“I told you, as long as you run to the empty space, I will pass the ball to you!”

Twenty-five minutes into the game, Leicester City helped Lingard score a header at home with Ling Feng’s “Ling’s Arc” cross on the right side of the frontcourt, expanding their advantage again.

The score on the field came to 2-0!

Seeing Lingard’s debut goal, Pearson in the stands punched again to celebrate!

It is worth mentioning that every time he plays at home, Pearson is not like other head coaches who like to stand on the sidelines to command or sit in the coaching seat to watch the game.

Instead, he prefers to sit in the home stands, looking at the overall situation, and then check the players’ execution of tactics and what needs to be improved on both the offense and defense of the team.

This is the case in the Championship, and it is also the case after being promoted to the Premier League.

For this reason, the King Power Stadium also specially set up a special “coach seat” for him in the stands with the best view, so that he and his coaching staff can observe the direction of the game from a high position.

Of course, once a substitution is required, he will also communicate with assistant coach Shakespeare on the sidelines through headphones to let him make substitutions and tactical arrangements.

Looking at Lingard hugging other teammates, Pearson was satisfied with the speed at which the loaned Manchester United star integrated into the team.

This is also the effect they want to achieve by loaning Lingard!

Turning his head, he looked at his old friend Walsh on the side and smiled slightly:

“Steve, I regret it.”

“Why?”

“I regret that we didn’t add a buyout clause to this kid’s loan contract.”

In fact, Pearson was just joking.

As a legitimate Red Devils youth training, Manchester United had no intention of letting Lingard transfer away from the beginning of the negotiations.

Loaning for leveling up is fine, and transfer buyout talks are required!

The better Lingard performs during the loan period, the harder it will be for him to stay at the Foxes.

However, that is all for the future.

At least this season, this young man belongs to their Leicester City!

. . .

Less than 30 minutes into the first half, they were leading by two goals at home.

The situation is very good for Leicester City.

And some of the Everton players were stunned.

They never thought before the game that the attacking coordination of this newly promoted team would be so smooth and sharp.

Except for Jagielka and Baines, who had already experienced Ling Feng’s skills, other Everton players all turned their attention to the black-haired young man who dominated the game.

Although they had heard of Ling Feng’s reputation a long time ago.

However, after actually competing with him, they found that the hype and praise from all the media in England for him were not exaggerated at all!

This Fox No. 7 really has the personal ability to change the situation on the field in an instant!

At the same time, Ross Barkley’s mind was still replaying the cross ball with a great arc just now.

Finally, he realized dejectedly that if it was him, he would not be able to pass such a precise arc cross!

And Lukaku’s inner thoughts were very simple and simple:

“Mumble. If he was my teammate, it would be great.”

While the Leicester City players were celebrating, Everton coach Robert Martinez, who had a serious face on the sidelines, called the nearby left back Baines to the sidelines and gave him instructions:

“Tell James (McCarthy) to confront him before the number seven receives the ball!”

“And the same goes for the others. As long as Ling Feng changes his position to which side, he will directly go to the body, and the foul will also be

It doesn’t matter!”

“Don’t give him a chance to pass the ball!”

“Also, kick the ball from the backcourt to the two sides. Romelu (Lukaku) is holding their central defender in the middle. There is space to break through on the side!”

“I understand, coach.”

Soon, the coach’s instructions reached the ears of other Everton players.

As the man who led Everton to almost enter the Champions League zone last season, the Spanish coach Martinez is not a straw bag. On the contrary, his coaching level is widely recognized by the English football world.

He led Wigan Athletic to relegation for three consecutive seasons, and defeated Manchester City last year to win the first FA Cup in the team’s history.

After Wigan Athletic was relegated, he led the Toffees to refresh the team’s highest points in the Premier League in his first season at Everton and successfully qualified for the European War.

Although he will coach the Belgian national team in the future, his performance in international competitions is unsatisfactory, and fans think that he has wasted the talents of the golden generation of Belgium.

However, Martinez’s ability to train the team’s offense is still very Excellent.

He obviously saw the problem of the team’s offensive disadvantage and made tactical changes immediately!

After the kick-off, Everton’s players also began to implement the coach’s tactical instructions:

Since Lukaku was involved in the defense of two central defenders in the middle, there would be more space on the wing.

Under the coach’s instruction, facing Leicester City’s frontcourt pressure, Everton’s midfield and backcourt directly made long passes to find two wingers.

Everton’s two wingers, South African international Pienaar and Belgian international Mirallas, are both skilled at dribbling and breaking through.

Moreover, they are fast enough!

In the 30th minute of the game, Everton left back Baines made a straight pass to Pienaar on the left.

In the defense of Leicester City right back De Wright, Everton’s left back Baines made a straight pass to Pienaar on the left. Under the defense, Pienaar knocked his heel, turned around, and passed by the latter.

Then, he dribbled the ball forward, killed to the left side of the front court, and passed the ball directly with his left foot.

Under Morgan’s close defense, Kaku in the middle accelerated, grabbed the front point, aimed his left foot at the half-high ball, and shot hard!

There was only a “bang” sound, and the ball turned into a cannonball and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

Fortunately, Schmeichel reacted quickly enough, moved to the near corner in advance, raised his hand to block, and the ball changed direction and slid out of the goal slightly.

This powerful shot made the Blue Fox fans sweat coldly, and then they did not forget to give their own goalkeeper warm applause.

In the next ten minutes, Everton regained the feeling of attacking, repeatedly making mistakes on the wing. Create a threat.

Facing the one-on-one with Pienaar and Mirallas on the wing, the two full-backs of Leicester City looked very embarrassed.

Even with the help of the midfield, they could not stop the opponent’s explosion and could only commit fouls.

In the 40th minute of the game, Everton created another scoring opportunity.

And this time, it was Mirallas’ turn on the right side!

Returning to the right side of the midfield, after receiving a long pass from Baines in the backcourt, the short Belgian attacker took the ball along the wing and challenged the Foxes right back Konchesky.

Although Konchesky, who is already 33 years old, has a guaranteed defensive hardness, his physical flexibility and speed are completely unable to keep up with Mirallas.

There was only a small bicycle under Mirallas’ feet, so he lured him to kick.

However, at the moment of kicking the ball, he changed his rhythm and passed Konchesky cleanly.

Then, he cut inside with the ball and killed to the penalty area line.

At the same time, Lukaku in the middle moved to the left, opening up space for him and forcing Morgan to leave his own defense zone.

Facing Moore, another Fox central defender who came up, Mirallas flicked his left foot to the right and then his right foot.

As he was already in the penalty area, Moore, who was passed by, did not dare to take action and could only let him open the shooting angle.

“Beautiful pass! Mirallas!”

“Single-handed!”

Facing Schmeichel, who opened his arms and blocked the near corner, Mirallas swung his right leg without hesitation and aimed at the far corner with a powerful shot!

The distance was too close, and the ball was extremely fast, flying close to the grass.

Schmeichel was a little slow to get off the ground and could only watch the ball fly past his feet.

Then, the ball hit the inside of the far post with a clang and bounced straight into the goal behind him!

The next second, there was only a “wow” and the silent away fans suddenly burst into amazing cheers!

“Wow!”

“A one-man show!”

“Kevin Mirallas!”

“The Belgian international helped Everton pull one back in the away game

! ”

As the goal was pulled back, the Leicester City players, who were originally relaxed and even a little proud, could not help but feel solemn.

At this moment, they have realized a very important thing:

They are no longer in the Championship, but in the Premier League!

If they were in the Championship, they would have won the game with a two-goal lead.

But in the Premier League, even if they are two goals ahead at home, they cannot relax.

Because every Premier League team has the ability to change the situation on the field in an instant and send the ball into their own goal!

And they are just a newly promoted team!

After improving on the offensive end and pulling back a goal, Everton players also increased their fighting strength on the defensive end.

Especially for Ling Feng, the core of Leicester City’s midfield, they showed no mercy!

After kicking off again, Leicester City passed the ball back all the way, leading Everton’s formation out.

Soon after, Matty James took the ball in the midfield and looked in the direction of Ling Feng.

Seeing Ling Feng retreat, he immediately passed the ball.

Just as Ling Feng stepped forward to receive the ball, McCarthy, who followed closely behind him, accelerated and pushed his waist secretly from behind.

Unprepared, Ling Feng fell forward and fell to the ground.

The next second, the sharp whistle of the referee suddenly sounded!

And McCarthy spread his hands with an innocent look and explained to the referee:

“I didn’t use any force, he fell down by himself!”

However, the referee ignored him, but waved his hands and said firmly:

“This is a foul of pushing! ”

Seeing Ling Feng getting up from the ground, the referee signaled him to kick off.

After passing the ball to the “water drinker” nearby, Ling Feng patted the grass debris on his shorts and continued to run as if nothing had happened.

He was used to the opponent’s key defense.

Ling Feng thought it was just a very common foul in the game.

However, he soon discovered that he seemed to be targeted!

In the remaining time of the first half, no matter where Ling Feng ran to, if he wanted to receive a pass from his teammates, he would be knocked down by the opponent before receiving the ball.

Not only McCarthy, who was guarding him like a piece of taffy, but other Everton players were also He was not polite at all.

Compared with the obvious rough actions in the Championship, the fouls committed by Everton players were all in the form of close confrontation.

The advantage of this kind of foul is that it is very ambiguous.

The confrontation in the Premier League is fierce, and the referee’s judgment on the confrontation is often ambiguous.

Therefore, in the next few confrontations, Ling Feng suffered a loss due to his lack of Premier League experience.

Being knocked over by Everton players with shoulders or pushed away with buttocks were all considered reasonable confrontations by the referee, thus losing the ball.

Ling Feng finally learned the penalty standards of the Premier League.

As long as he was not pushed down or Dangerous actions such as flashing studs and all physical confrontation actions may be within the scope of “reasonable confrontation”.

The rough confrontation in the Premier League is definitely a disadvantage for a technical player like him who does not have outstanding physical fitness.

Therefore, before the start of the Premier League, many media and football commentators believed that even if Ling Feng was talented, he would need some time to adapt to the rhythm and confrontation of the Premier League.

Under Everton’s stranglehold, Ling Feng’s shortcomings of insufficient confrontation ability and average dribbling ability were also exposed.

If he has a strong core strength, he can keep his body under the interference and collision of the opponent.

If he has outstanding dribbling skills, he can also pass his opponent again and again while dodging.

However, these two abilities are his current shortcomings!

If it was in the past, Ling Feng would avoid this physical confrontation that is unfavorable to him by exchanging positions with Mahrez and reducing touches.

But now, he has a new way to break the deadlock.

That is super explosive power!

Want to defend me?

You can try it!

In the 43rd minute of the game, Ling Feng, whose white shorts were already covered with grass, retreated again in the midfield.

“Danny! ”

Faced with Ling Feng’s initiative, “Drinking Water Brother” did not hesitate at all and passed the ball directly.

When he stepped forward to receive the ball, Ling Feng suddenly accelerated and opened up the distance between him and the defensive player behind him.

After receiving the ball, he did not turn around in a hurry, but directly knocked the ball to the right back De Wright who inserted on the right, and then turned around and ran forward.

De Wright then passed the ball to Mahrez in front, Mahrez shook the ball, and then passed the ball to the one who came to the middle to receive it.

Ling Feng.

Just as McCarthy pounced, Ling Feng did not stop the ball and kicked it through like a surgical knife!

The ball stuck to the grass and went straight through the gap on Everton’s right rib.

Vardy, who started early, made a diagonal cut and got the ball in front of Jagielka in the penalty area.

Facing a very narrow shooting angle and the defensive player on the left, Vardy fully demonstrated the instinct of a super shooter.

He kicked the ball hard and hit it!

The distance was too close and the speed was too fast.

The ball turned into a shadow and flew over the bald head of Everton goalkeeper Howard!
