The first time, the second time.

Chapter 162 The only gold card in the team, with an overall rating of 80! [4,000-word chapter]

With Ling Feng’s pass and shot, Leicester City ended a fantastic first half at the Britannia Stadium.

In the second half, Stoke City coach Mark Hughes immediately adjusted the tactics and played a simple and rough long pass.

Even under the interference of Morgan and Moore, the tall shooter Crouch, who was more than two meters tall, repeatedly grabbed the first landing point, and then passed the ball to his teammates, resulting in several shots.

However, Ben Hammer, who replaced Schmeichel in the starting lineup, was extremely excited and rejected all the shots.

Although the number of shots was increasing, they still couldn’t break through Leicester City’s goal.

As time passed, Stoke City’s players gradually became impatient, and their hands and feet became more and more violent.

Perhaps it was the bias of the home whistle, or the referee’s inaction made Stoke City’s players more unscrupulous.

And Leicester City’s core Ling Feng became the target of frequent violations!

Ling Feng also felt the sudden increase in the opponent’s intensity, and did not dare to neglect it. He began to reduce the time he held the ball and kicked the ball out as much as possible.

Until the 70th minute of the game, seeing Ling Feng pulling the ball and turning around and being tackled to the ground by Shawcross on the spot, Pearson, who was always calm on the sidelines, couldn’t stand it anymore!

Damn, dare to tackle my baby? !

He rushed to the side of the fourth official and protested in a deep voice:

“Hey! Did you see that? This is a dangerous move!”

Facing the angry Pearson, the fourth official was stunned at first, raised his hand slightly and pressed it down, comforting:

“Relax, the referee saw it.”

This very obvious foul finally made the referee blow the whistle.

He ran to the “crime scene” and showed a yellow gem war god card directly to Shawcross!

This flying tackle did not shovel the ball, but directly shoveled Ling Feng over, thus interrupting the offensive advance of Leicester City.

The yellow card is not unfair at all.

Lying on the grass, Ling Feng frowned and looked a little painful.

The [anti-injury card] was not triggered.

It can be seen that Shawcross’s sliding tackle was not a malicious foul.

It was simply that Ling Feng was faster than him and pushed the ball forward, causing Shawcross’s sliding tackle to be half a beat slower.

Even so, Ling Feng still felt a burning pain in his calf, so he had to rub it hard to relieve the pain as much as possible.

Seeing this, Pearson on the sidelines immediately waved to the team doctor and asked him to enter the field.

Watching the team doctor spraying pain-relieving spray on Ling Feng’s calf, Shakespeare, another assistant coach of the Blue Fox, came to Pearson and whispered:

“Nigel, we’d better replace Ling, don’t get hurt!”

“If Ling comes down, our control in the midfield will definitely drop significantly, which will give the ball to the opponent.”

“Let Wood go up and play double center with Ulloa, and then the two wingers will pull back to the center circle line and directly pass the ball from the backcourt to their backs!”

Hearing this, Pearson also felt that it made sense.

Already leading by two goals, they also have the capital to rotate and adjust.

Although there were still 20 minutes left in the game, the opponent had enough time to equalize the score or even overtake.

However, compared to winning this game, he was more concerned about whether Ling Feng was injured!

If Ling Feng was injured, it would affect more than just one league game.

Moreover, a few days later, they had to go to Warsaw to participate in the historic first round of the Europa League group stage.

As the core and top player of the team, Ling Feng could not be absent!

So, he made a prompt decision and immediately asked substitute striker Chris Wood to warm up.

Then he asked the team doctor on the field to delay the time a little longer through the communication headset, as long as he could.

Two minutes later, Leicester City made a substitution adjustment directly!

When Ling Feng, covered in grass, limped off the field, Pearson immediately went up to him and asked with concern: “Ling, are you okay? Are you injured?”

Faced with the coach’s concern, Ling Feng smiled slightly, “It’s okay, I was just hit and my calf hurts a little.”

Hearing this, Pearson’s heart was finally relieved.

“Well, I’ll do a detailed check after I get back. Well done, go and rest first!”

“Okay.”

After replacing Ling Feng with substitute center forward Chris Wood, Leicester

City changed their formation to a 442 formation, and like Stoke City, they played the traditional English tactics – long pass and lob!

For a while, the ball kept flying around in the air above the Britannia Stadium, rarely landing.

Both sides chose to directly lob the ball from the backcourt or the wing to the frontcourt, allowing the center forward to fight for opportunities.

The core of the long pass and lob tactics requires the center forward to have outstanding personal abilities.

Be able to hold off the opponent’s defenders, or crush like a tank to complete the shot; or be like a tower, to pass the ball to teammates.

The most perfect center forward template for the long pass and lob tactics is the “Warcraft” Drogba during the Chelsea period!

However, compared to Stoke City’s single striker, the 33-year-old “Tall Guy” Crouch, Leicester City’s double center forwards Ulloa and Wood are younger and more impactful!

Although both are high center forwards, Ulloa’s movement speed in front of the goal is not slow.

Wood mainly tried to grab the first point of the high ball, while Ulloa supported him and then waited for an opportunity to shoot.

This double-tall combination overwhelmed Stoke City’s defense and created a lot of threats.

It also made Stoke City afraid to fully press forward.

Until the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Stoke City failed to penetrate the goal guarded by the Foxes’ second goalkeeper Ben Hammer.

The score of 2-0 remained until the final whistle.

They could beat the defending champions in an upset at Etihad, but also lost to the newly promoted team by two goals at home.

Lack of stability is the key to limiting Stoke City’s further progress in the standings!

In particular, the problem of weak offensive power in the frontcourt still troubles Mark Hughes.

Their top scorer Crouch is in poor form and has not scored in four consecutive rounds since the start of the game.

Bojan and Diouf, who just joined the team, have not yet integrated into the team’s system, and Arnautovic, who can’t score goals, is also not good.

“Sky City” has many famous players, but can’t break the opponent’s goal

After the game, Ling Feng, who made one pass and one shot, won the best player of the game without any surprise!

However, due to some muscle pain, Ling Feng did not accept the post-match interview.

However, this made many reporters nervous.

At the press conference, Sky Sports reporters immediately asked about Ling Feng’s situation.

As the most popular British star in the Premier League and England, Ling Feng is almost the best among all English players of the same age.

No one!

While most of the players of the same age are still working hard for their playing time, Ling Feng has become the absolute core of the Premier League team Leicester City and the team’s thigh!

In the eyes of many people in the English football world, as long as Ling Feng continues to grow at the current rate, he will inevitably become the core of the midfield leading the Three Lions into a new era!

Of course, they don’t want to see Ling Feng’s career development affected by injuries.

This is a huge loss for the Premier League and the Three Lions!

In response to the concern of the reporters, Pearson told the truth:

“He is fine, but he feels a little uncomfortable in his muscles. We will check it out after we go back.”

After easily defeating Stoke City and winning the second league victory of the season, Ling Feng did not forget to take a photo with Ulloa, who also made one assist and one goal in this game, in the locker room, and then posted it on Twitter, INS and Facebook.

It is worth mentioning that since being promoted to the Premier League, Ling Feng has found that his social media fans have increased very quickly.

At least two or three times faster than when he was in the Championship!

He studied it and found that his number of fans would surge every time he participated in a league game.

He has reason to believe that it is because of his performance on the field that he conquered the fans of his opponents and made them his fans!

As of September 14, including Twitter, Ling Feng’s total number of social media fans exceeded 8 million.

More than 5 million on Twitter, 1 million on Facebook, and more than 1 million on INS.

Especially INS, the world’s largest selfie social platform.

Although the account was created just over a month ago, most of the users are young people under the age of 30, and the daily frequency of use is high.

In addition, Ling Feng is of similar age to them, which makes them feel close to their peers, making his fan growth rate like a rocket.

Although it is not as good as the more than 100 million social media fans of Messi and Ronaldo, nor as good as the famous stars such as Bale who became famous in the Premier League and joined Real Madrid, Neymar, the new leader of the Samba Army, and James Rodriguez who emerged in the Brazil World Cup.

However, his number of social media fans is the largest among all English players, second only to the retired Beckham, the double D, and the fat man Rudy and Xiao Pang.

Ranked fifth!

This is enough to prove how popular he is in England!

He is getting closer and closer to 10 million fans on social media.

According to the previous system rewards, an achievement can be completed every time the number of fans reaches 10,000, 100,000, and 1 million.

Then, when the number of fans on social media exceeds 10 million, he will definitely get the corresponding reward.

He is looking forward to it.

What will the reward for 10 million fans be.

. . .

After returning to the Belvoir base on the team bus, Pearson immediately asked the team doctor to conduct a detailed examination of Ling Feng.

The result is gratifying:

Ling Feng is fine!

He can definitely play in the first game of the Europa League in a few days!

After completing the physical examination, everyone went home with a relaxed mood.

The next day.

At 8:30 in the morning.

Ling Feng drove his black Land Rover to the Belvoir base.

However, when he changed into a long-sleeved training suit and came to the base canteen to enjoy a hearty breakfast, the club’s marketing staff found him.

“Ling, after you finish breakfast, go to the media room with Jamie and Riad to take some pictures.”

“What to shoot?”

“A short clip to promote FIFA. You will know the specific process later.”

Hearing this, Ling Feng nodded, not quite understanding.

As one of the two giants of football games, the new generation of FIFA15 will be officially released next week.

In order to increase sales, of course, it is necessary to link with real clubs and stars to increase publicity.

When Ling Feng finished breakfast and came to the media room on time, he found that Vardy and Mahrez were already there.

A camera was aimed at three shelves.

On each shelf, there was a player card with Ling Feng and three other people’s head portraits printed on it.

Looking at his player card, Ling Feng couldn’t help but sigh in his heart:

So handsome!

“Hey, guys”

After bumping shoulders with the two and greeting them, Ling Feng immediately asked, “What’s going on?”

Faced with the inquiry, Vardy shrugged and explained:

“FIFA sent us player cards, and the club plans to let us shoot a short clip to guess each other’s player ratings and various values.”

“Oh, that’s it.”

Ling Feng and Mahrez both showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.

“Did you shoot last year?”

“No, maybe it’s because we were promoted to the Premier League this year, and everyone’s ratings have increased.”

After a pause, Vardy turned to look at Ling Feng and joked, “Or maybe because you have too many fans, you specially asked us to shoot for publicity.”

“Yes, I just saw yesterday that your Instagram has one million fans in less than two months!”

Mahrez joined this world-best-selling football game as early as FIFA12, and Vardy joined in FIFA13.

The ratings of the two last year were not high, both in the 60s.

Ling Feng is joining the game for the first time, and he is looking forward to seeing what EA’s overall rating will be for his players.

According to FIFA’s overall rating standards, players with an overall rating of 74 or above will be gold cards.

Overall ratings of 74 or below are silver cards.

Judging from the colors of the three player cards alone, Vardy and Mahrez are both silver cards, and Ling Feng is the only gold card.

This actually reveals the approximate overall ratings of the three.

However, the three still put away their thoughts and started shooting in front of the camera.

FIFA player cards have six values, namely speed, dribbling, shooting, passing, defense, and body.

“Guys, let’s first guess how fast Vardy is?”

Faced with this question, Ling Feng was the first to answer:

“At least 85!”

“I think so too, at least 85.”

“Jamie, what do you think?”

Touching his chin, Vardy said confidently:

“It was only 75 last season. I think this season, EA should have seen that my speed is not that low. I think 88 is about right.”

“88? Are you the fastest player in the team?”

“Of course not, the fastest player in the team is the guy next to me.”

After that, Vardy pointed to Ling Feng next to him.

This answer surprised the FIFA operator Yu.

In his impression, whether in the World Cup or the Premier League, Ling Feng rarely sprinted long distances on the field.

But Vardy said he was the fastest player in the team? !

Could it be that he was hiding his strength? !

Secretly suppressing the doubts in his heart, the operator continued to ask questions

.

With the questions and answers, and the jokes of the three, the various values ​​and player ratings of Vardy and Mahrez were revealed one after another.

Vardy’s overall rating increased from 67 in the previous version to 72;

Mahrez’s overall rating increased from 68 in the previous version to 73.

As the main contributors to Leicester City’s double crown of the English Championship and the FA Cup last season, both of their overall ratings increased by five points.

Finally, it was Ling Feng’s turn.

Holding his silver card and looking at Ling Feng’s gold card, Vardy’s tone was full of sourness:

“Gold cards are different.”

What surprised the three was that thanks to his amazing performance in the World Cup and the Premier League since the start of the game, Ling Feng’s FIFA player overall rating reached an astonishing 80!

And he is also the only player in Leicester City with an overall rating of 80!
