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

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 159 Can the Premier League adapt to Ling Feng? ! [Four thousand words chapter]

For Arsenal, losing the ball first away from home is not unacceptable.

In the last game at Everton’s home, they still achieved a reversal even when they were two goals behind.

What’s more, from the scene, their performance in this game was much better than the previous one.

In the 35 minutes of the first half, Arsenal had 60% of the ball possession and completed seven shots.

Among them, there were three shots on target.

Leicester City only had two shots, one on target.

The reason why they didn’t score was just that they did a little worse in the final shot.

Since the center forward Sanogo is useless, Wenger decided to give the responsibility of scoring goals to the midfielder!

“Alexis (Sanchez)! Reduce dribbling on the wing and increase inverted triangle passes.”

“Alan (Ramsey), you should make more forward runs!”

“Santi (Cazorla), I want to see more long shots from you in the second half!”

“Mesut”

As “Professor” Wenger came to the sidelines and made targeted arrangements for key players on the field, Arsenal once again strengthened the attack after the kick-off!

And Leicester City’s defense line also began to become precarious.

Arsenal’s style of play is originally fast-paced.

Flamini in the midfield is a defensive midfielder who drags back to protect and generally does not make forward runs.

And Ramsey was called the next Lampard by Wenger.

The reason is simple. Both of them have the ability to run tirelessly and the almost crazy desire to attack from behind.

Whenever the forwards can’t grasp the opportunity or enter the offensive battle, Ramsey will insert from the midfield, add one more person in the frontcourt, and use the local advantage in numbers to break the game.

This is also why Arsenal sometimes can’t score in the frontcourt, and Ramsey’s insertion from the back kills the game directly!

In Wenger’s tactics, Ramsey is his Lampard!

And the reason why Erdog is the indispensable organizational core of this Arsenal is because of his excellent overall view and passing. He can coordinate in the middle and play the role of a midfield link, connecting Cazorla, Sanchez, Ramsey and others to play a beautiful match.

Whether in positional warfare or in the stage of rapid advancement, Erdog can pass the ball that makes the situation clear in the first time.

The man who can play as a main player in the European giant Real Madrid at the age of 22 and become the European assist king is not just relying on the finishing ability of superstars such as Ronaldo and Benzema!

In the remaining ten minutes of the first half, Arsenal almost pressed Leicester City in the half court.

And all the players of Leicester City also retreated to their own half court, compressing the passing space as much as possible, and dragged the time to the last second of the first half!

Beep~beep~~~

The next second after the referee blew the whistle, both the Leicester City players on the field and the home fans in the stands couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The castle with the blue flag was shaky, but it finally survived the first half under the bombardment of the Gunners’ shells one after another.

After returning to the locker room, Pearson first praised the players, and then emphasized that the team’s formation in the second half should be pressed forward and continue to attack!

Leicester City’s defense is not the team’s strong point.

Especially under Arsenal’s fast ground cooperation, Morgan and Moore’s slow turning speed was exposed.

What’s more, the defense consumes more energy and mental energy than the offense.

If this continues, a player’s inattention at a certain moment may be caught by the opponent and then score a goal!

Only by attacking instead of defending can the score be expanded and the game be won.

Either score the second goal or Arsenal will equalize the score!

Until the 60th minute, the white-hot battle changed:

Pearson replaced Lin Huang, who performed poorly on the left, with the big center forward Ulloa, and then replaced the physically exhausted “drinking brother” with Andy King.

Then change the formation to 442!

Switch Mahrez to the left, Ling Feng to the right, and Ulloa and Vardy form a tall and fast double striker!

Pearson’s idea is very simple. Since Arsenal mainly attacks the middle, there will definitely be gaps on the wing.

Let Ling Feng and Mahrez play as wing forwards in order to use their footwork to initiate attacks through the wing.

Attack.

Either break through the side or make a 45-degree cross to hit Arsenal’s backcourt.

However, his change of tactics made the defense in the middle even weaker.

Without Ling Feng’s retreat and interception in the middle, Cambiasso and Andy King faced Arsenal’s wave after wave of central advances, and the defensive pressure suddenly increased a lot.

In the 75th minute of the game, Arsenal finally broke through Leicester City’s midfield through a small-scale cooperation in the middle and reached the front of the penalty area!

With Erdog’s oblique pass, Sanchez, who came in from the left, received the ball and made a fake move, shaking the angle, and then shot.

The ball passed Schmeichel’s fingertips and flew into the far corner of the goal!

After scoring, Sanchez did not celebrate, but ran directly into the goal, picked up the ball and ran all the way to the center circle kick-off point.

Such an undisguised desire to win made the visiting fans at the scene burst into warm applause and also inspired the morale of the Gunners!

In the following time, Arsenal began to practice offense and defense in the Leicester City half.

Even Wenger, who has always been calm and composed, came to the sidelines and called on his disciples to launch waves of fierce attacks on Leicester City.

In the 80th minute, taking advantage of a dead ball, Pearson replaced Vardy and Mahrez with Albrighton and substitute central defender Waselvsky.

Then all the players retreated to their own half, changed to a 541 tactic, and set up a bus.

As for Ling Feng, it is impossible to replace him at such a tense time.

Because, in this Blue Fox formation, he is the absolute core and soul!

As long as Ling Feng is still on the court, they have a backbone, a teammate who can pass the ball without hesitation at a critical moment, and a burst point that is threatening as long as he gets the ball!

Moreover, with Ling Feng’s burst and speed, he can also stay on the field to counterattack.

In this way, the opponent will also be afraid of Ling Feng’s huge threat and dare not press too hard.

Under the fierce attack and defense of both sides, time was consumed bit by bit.

In the end, with Vardy’s goal and Sanchez’s first Premier League goal, Leicester City tied with the aggressive Arsenal at home!

Both sides got one point!

From the result, both sides played a good half in the first and second half.

However, from the whole process, Arsenal, who had more opportunities, should have won three points away from home.

Leicester City is of course satisfied with this result.

As a newly promoted team, it is very good to get one point from the Premier League giants Arsenal.

For Arsenal, under the premise of missing the starting center Giroud, it is barely acceptable to draw with Leicester City away from home.

It is worth mentioning that the effect of the change in the second half made the Leicester City coaching staff see the problem of the 442 parallel position formation.

The 442 parallel position formation was originally the second formation tactic that Pearson practiced for Ling Feng when he was not on the court.

The purpose is to use the two side kicks to find the two forwards Ulloa and Vardy in the frontcourt.

This tactic focuses on the simplicity and roughness of a side pass.

However, when facing a team like Arsenal that likes to make a fuss in the middle, the midfield cannot only keep two players, it is easy to be directly penetrated by the midfield defense line and face the central defender!

Therefore, different tactical play should be selected according to the different personnel and formations of the opponent to achieve the effect of restraint.

Moreover, the running-in and proficiency of the tactics are also the key to whether the tactics can work.

And these aspects are what Pearson and the Leicester City coaching staff have to continue to work hard on.

The best player of the game was finally given to Ling Feng!

Maintaining a 95% pass success rate, three key passes, one assist, and only three times losing the ball.

In addition to his outstanding performance on the offensive end, on the defensive end, he also contributed one steal, two interceptions, and three confrontations were all successful, comparable to the defensive data of a sweeping defensive midfielder.

After the game, Sofascore also gave Ling Feng the highest score of 7.5 points in the game!

“If it weren’t for his selflessness and running all over the field, Leicester City might have suffered a big defeat!”-This is Lineker’s evaluation of Ling Feng’s performance in this game on social media after the game.

This is Ling Feng’s second Premier League man of the match this season.

And it took him only three games to do this!

In the first three rounds of the Premier League after returning to the Premier League after a decade, Leicester City, as a newly promoted team, won one, drew one, and lost one.

Defeated Everton 4-2, lost to Chelsea 2-1, and tied Arsenal 1-1.

Such an outstanding performance has put Leicester City in the top of the standings.

Nine.

Just one more goal difference than the next round’s opponent Stoke City, one higher ranking!

Compared with the other two promoted teams, Rangers lost two and won one, Burnley lost two and tied one, Leicester City’s performance is remarkable.

In these three games, the best performance of Leicester City is the core of the team with one goal and five assists-Ling Feng!

It can be said that Ling Feng is the barometer of Leicester City’s performance.

As long as he performs well, Leicester City will not be too bad.

After three rounds, Ling Feng’s excellent performance of five assists in three games has surpassed Fabregas, David Silva, and other stars, and has firmly topped the assist list!

In the eyes of many people, Ling Feng seems to need no time. Almost since participating in the first Premier League game, he has adapted to the rhythm and intensity of the Premier League.

The question now is not when Ling Feng can adapt to the Premier League, but when the Premier League can adapt to Ling Feng!

. . .

After three consecutive rounds of matches, the Premier League finally ushered in a short international match day.

However, as an indispensable main midfielder of the Three Lions, Ling Feng came to St. George’s Park to join his national team teammates after a day of rest at home.

As the Three Lions continued to prepare for the game, the European summer transfer window finally came to an end.

The 20 Premier League teams recruited a lot of players, and the transfer fees they invested added up to more than an astonishing 1 billion pounds for the first time!

This number also made the Premier League the league with the highest transfer window cost among the five major leagues!

Among them, the Premier League team that spent the most money was Manchester United, which has great global influence and commercial value.

With the new coach taking office, the “Red Devils” Manchester United, which is in the reconstruction period, spent more than 150 million pounds on transfers and signings!

But after three rounds of matches, their record was only two draws and one loss, and they had no wins!

In three games, they only scored two goals.

It can be said that they spent the most money and suffered the most vicious beating!

Fortunately, at the last moment of the transfer window, Van Gaal bought Di Maria from Real Madrid and loaned Colombian striker “Tiger” Falcao from Monaco.

His purpose is very clear, which is to strengthen the team’s offensive firepower!

Countless Manchester United fans are looking forward to the arrival of Di Maria and Falcao, so that Manchester United’s frontcourt can form a dream quartet of Van Persie, Falcao, Rooney and Di Maria, and then press the opponent to the ground like a gust of wind sweeping fallen leaves.

However, only Ling Feng knows that this is just the wishful thinking of Manchester United fans!

Football is not a virtual game that can win the game by blindly piling up stars together.

In addition to the most basic player strength, the factors that affect victory and defeat include morale, state, tactics, locker room atmosphere, etc.

It is precisely because of this that football makes countless people crazy and addicted

And the day after the transfer window ended, the Three Lions, which ushered in a new era, also ushered in the first friendly match after the Brazil World Cup.

The opponent is Norway, the “Nordic Viking” ranked 67th in the world.

It is worth mentioning that the Norwegian national team has a record to boast about.

That is, in official matches, it has never lost to Brazil!

In the late 20th century, Norway, with English Premier League players led by Solskjaer as the main team, reached the World Cup finals in 1994 and 1998.

And defeated the then-prosperous Samba Army twice in two years!

However, after entering the 21st century, due to the conservative strategy of the management and the aging of the lineup, the powerful Norway at that time gradually became one of the weak teams in Europe.

For 16 years, it has not participated in an international competition.

There is no well-known player in the current Norwegian team.

Facing this Norway, England, playing at home, will naturally not be polite!

Four to zero!

70% ball possession, 22 shots!

England pressed Norway to the ground and beat it up!

Rooney, who wore the captain’s armband for the first time, scored twice!

In his first game as the captain of Great Britain, he used his outstanding performance to announce to the English fans that he is the most trustworthy leader in the post-Double-Germain era!

It is worth mentioning that both of Rooney’s goals were assisted by Ling Feng.

After playing for 60 minutes as a starter and giving two “inauguration gifts” to Rooney, Ling Feng clocked out on time.

On the one hand, Pearson specifically greeted Hodgson, hoping that Ling Feng would not play too long in the friendly match;

On the other hand, Hodgson also knew the importance of Ling Feng to the Three Lions.

, and dare not use it too hard.

If Ling Feng is injured because of playing too frequently and cannot play, not only will Leicester City’s strength be greatly reduced, but the combat effectiveness of the Three Lions will also be greatly affected.

After easily defeating Norway at home, the Three Lions took a special plane to Basel.

There, they are about to usher in the first match of the European Qualifiers.

Their opponent is the most difficult opponent in the entire group – Switzerland!

I had something to do today, so I was delayed and didn’t write 8,000 words.

I apologize to everyone and will continue to work hard tomorrow!
