The first time was a good time to play.
Chapter 180: There are no weak teams in the Premier League
In early October, the Premier League temporarily ceased fire and ushered in the international match day.
Ling Feng and Vardy rushed to the St. George’s Park base to continue the European preliminaries with the Three Lions.
On October 10, the Three Lions first played against the visiting San Marino national team at home.
San Marino is one of the smallest countries in the world, with a population of only 30,000.
What San Marino, Liechtenstein, Faroe Islands, Malta, Luxembourg, etc., are all traditional European teams.
These teams have no stars, and some of them can’t even get enough eleven professional players.
Some are just proud to play for the country and have a deep love for football!
In their opinion, being able to stand on the stage of the European qualifiers and compete with the major European teams is already a different kind of victory.
Winning or losing is really not important!
Although I say so.
However, the only significance of these weak teams in the European qualifiers is to make up the numbers and let the shooters of the major European teams brush their data!
Considering that the opponent’s strength is too weak, Hodgson also directly sent a full substitute lineup in this game, taking the opportunity to observe the newcomers of the national team.
Even so, in Wembley Stadium, the Three Lions still brushed a wave of data with a score of 6 to 0!
Ling Feng, who only played as a substitute for 20 minutes in the second half, also gave Vardy an assist at the last moment of the game.
For Ling Feng, the European qualifiers were originally just a formality of public travel.
Although the Three Lions are sometimes called the “Three Cats Army”, they are still considered a strong team in Europe.
Especially the opponents in the group are all rotten fish and shrimp.
After defeating Switzerland in the first match, even if they were all substitutes, it would not prevent them from qualifying as the top team in the group.
Three days later, the Three Lions took a special plane to Estonia by the Baltic Sea.
Compared with San Marino, Estonia has never made it to the finals of any international competition.
But it is a country with a population of over a million, and the national team is still decent, barely a third-rate team in Europe.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that it is stronger than an ancient country with a population of more than one billion in the East!
That’s right, I’m talking about you!
India!
Therefore, in order to deal with this opponent who is more powerful than India, Hodgson directly sent all the main players.
And with the performance of Ling Feng, Rooney, Sterling and others, they easily defeated Estonia 3-0.
After defeating Switzerland, San Marino and Estonia, the Three Lions won three consecutive victories in the European qualifiers and ranked first in the group in points.
It can be said that it is only a matter of time for the group leader to qualify.
After the national team match day, Ling Feng followed the team back to England.
After getting off the plane, the national team players said goodbye to each other and drove their luxury cars
And Ling Feng also got on the black Land Rover driven by the bodyguard.
He was also traveling with his female assistant Sofia.
The car had just driven a short distance when the phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Ling Feng couldn’t help but smile slightly, and then answered the phone:
“Hey, Barbara!”
“Yes, I just landed and am going home.”
“Is your work going well?”
Since their first date in London, the two have been busy with life and work.
However, in the past half a month, the two have kept in touch every day.
At first, they just sent text messages to each other.
Then, perhaps because they felt that text messages were too troublesome, or because their relationship was progressing rapidly, they started calling each other.
The content of the call was not particularly important, but mainly about sharing various small and big trivia in each other’s lives.
Barbara would complain to him about what she encountered at work, and would also share small things in life with her, such as her new manicure, today’s clothing matching, etc.
In addition to listening obediently most of the time, Ling Feng would also share his daily life with her.
This time when he went to Estonia to participate in the away game, he also ran to the beach and took some beautiful scenery photos to share with Barbara.
After talking on the phone for about half an hour, Barbara had to go to shoot, and the two ended the call.
As soon as he put the phone back in his trouser pocket, Ling Feng heard the female assistant sitting next to him say:
“Boss, can I report to you now?”
Turning his head to look at the female assistant
Assistant, Ling Feng joked with interest: “Why do I feel that your tone sounds a little impatient?”
Pushing the black-framed glasses on the bridge of her nose, Sophia said calmly:
“Boss, you are doubting my professionalism!”
Raising his eyebrows, Ling Feng smiled and spread his hands:
“Okay, professional, how is the work I gave you going?”
“The security company has installed 24-hour surveillance at the door and around the house, and arranged a four-person security team to patrol regularly around the house.”
“Also, here are some real estate information I collected, which has different options for renting and selling, and the locations are far and near.”
After that, Sophia took out a document from the briefcase she carried with her and handed it to Ling Feng.
“Okay, thank you for your help”
After taking the information and flipping through it, Ling Feng quickly took a fancy to a mansion located on the outskirts of Leicester.
The house has five rooms, three bathrooms, and is equipped with a private gym, indoor swimming pool, cinema, etc.
Moreover, Leicester is conveniently located, and it only takes an hour to drive to London, Birmingham, or Manchester.
Most importantly, this house can be rented out, and you don’t need to buy it all at once, you can move in directly.
Although the price of this house is not too expensive, it only costs less than one million pounds to buy it directly.
However, he still has to discuss with his parents before making a decision to take out one million pounds to buy a house.
“Let’s take this one, and find time to look at the house another day.”
“Okay.”
Then, Sophia introduced some new business cooperation projects to Ling Feng one by one.
With his excellent performance in the Premier League, his outstanding image and the huge potential commercial value in him have become the commercial darling in the eyes of major enterprises and companies.
Many well-known enterprises and brands have extended olive branches to him for cooperation.
However, facing the pounds that the brand took the initiative to offer, Ling Feng did not accept them all.
Of course he wanted to make more money.
However, he was not short of money.
Moreover, whether it was to reasonably allocate his off-field time or for his own business image, he had to make a careful choice!
. . .
After returning home and enjoying a day off, Ling Feng returned to the club the next day.
While everyone was warming up on the training ground, Ling Feng was suddenly called by the head coach
And he unexpectedly discovered that the head coach, who always wore a sports jacket, was wearing a black suit today!
Just when he was confused, he saw the follow-up reporter with a camera in his hand, and he immediately understood.
“Ling, congratulations, you have been elected the best player of September!”
“Thank you!”
After receiving the heavy monthly best player award from the official staff of the Premier League, Ling Feng suddenly heard a system prompt in his mind:
[Ding Dong! 】
[Achievement “Premier League Player of the Month” achieved]
[Achievement Rating: A]
[Achievement Reward: Two Free Attribute Points]
Ling Feng was not surprised by this award.
Ling Feng’s name was on the list of candidates for the best player of September announced in early October!
Competing with him were Southampton’s Italian striker Pelle and midfielder Schneiderlin, Manchester United’s Angel Di Maria, and West Ham United’s Sakho.
In September, there were two teams that won three consecutive games, Leicester City and Southampton.
With a large number of main players leaving and new players running-in and tacit understanding, Southampton, who had a major lineup change, quickly achieved good results on both offense and defense after a short period of adaptation at the beginning.
For this, the Dutch coach Koeman’s training was indispensable.
In addition, the Italian striker Pelle, who had just transferred from Feyenoord, also performed well.
However, Southampton’s record is still slightly inferior to Leicester City.
Under the leadership of Ling Feng, the Foxes defeated Stoke City, Manchester United and Crystal Palace in the Premier League in September, winning three consecutive games!
Among them, the goal battle that defeated the “Red Devils” Manchester United 5-3 at home was even more exciting.
In three games, Ling Feng contributed three goals and four assists!
Such an amazing performance finally made him win the honor of the best player without any suspense!
As for the competition for the best coach of the month, the Foxes coach Nigel Pearson defeated Koeman and Mourinho and won the first best coach of the month in his coaching career!
Leicester City’s generals and coaches won the best player and best coach of the month.
As you can imagine,
What an impressive record Leicester City had in September!
It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that the two have won this honor.
After a brief interview in front of the camera, the two took a photo with the monthly best trophy and smiled.
This photo will not only appear on the official websites of the Premier League and Leicester City Club, but also on Ling Feng’s personal social media account.
Ling Feng did not forget to write a post to interact with fans:
“The first Premier League monthly best! I think I should start making a display cabinet at home, what do you think?”
However, when the club announced the “double yolk” good news on the official website, most of the Blue Fox fans expressed their concerns in the comments in addition to congratulations.
“Oh my God! The curse is coming!”
“Mr. Pearson, can you return the award, please”
You know, the curse of the Premier League’s monthly best coach is well-known.
Both Ferguson and Mourinho have been victims.
Simply put, if the head coach wins the monthly coach award, the team led by the head coach will lose the next game, or even lose in a row!
The most vivid example is just around the corner:
The Swansea coach, who had just led the team to an outstanding performance last month and won the August Coach of the Month award, immediately suffered a three-game losing streak in the next three games in September!
So, it’s no wonder that the Foxes fans are so worried.
In the face of this curse, Leicester City Club just posted a sentence on the official website:
“Let’s see what happens next.”
A few days later.
Leicester City came to Newcastle’s St. James Park Stadium and played against the “Magpies” Newcastle United for the first time!
As the earliest football club established in the Premier League and even in Europe, Newcastle has a long and glorious history.
Newcastle also has many famous players, such as Andy Cole, Kevin Keegan, David Ginola, etc.
Among them, the one who left the most ink and color in the history of the Newcastle team is naturally the Premier League’s historical top scorer-Alan Shearer!
However, the state of the “Magpies” this season can only be described as “extremely bad”.
In the first seven rounds of the game, Newcastle only achieved three losses and four draws, without a single win!
Only one point difference, higher than the bottom-ranked newly promoted Burnley, deep in the relegation zone.
And the team coach Alan Pardew has also been criticized by fans, and the odds of his dismissal on the gambling website have soared to the first place!
And their opponent is the super dark horse Leicester City, which has won four consecutive Premier League games!
Therefore, before the game, most people think that the morale-boosted Foxes will win three points away from home!
Then Newcastle will announce Alan Pardew’s dismissal after this game!
And the Leicester City players also feel that they can easily win against the deputy squad leader who is in such a bad state.
However, the Magpies used their tenacious fighting spirit and rough fouls to teach the Leicester City players who returned to the Premier League a good lesson!
The whole process of the game was very difficult.
Amid the cheers of the home team fans, the Newcastle players were like chicken blood, their eyes glowing green.
As soon as they saw the Blue Fox players holding the ball, they immediately pounced on them.
Pulling with their hands and sweeping their legs, they would not let you get the ball or pass the ball easily.
Perhaps frightened by the rough fouls of Newcastle players, the Blue Fox players were somewhat restrained in their play.
The offense was frequently interrupted, and the rhythm of the game was also broken by the fouls.
In the whole game, Newcastle received eight yellow cards!
If the referee had not shown mercy, Newcastle would have sent off at least one player.
This shows how dirty Newcastle played in this game.
It was under such a foul tactic that the Leicester City players were
However, Newcastle seized the precious opportunity and took the lead in breaking the deadlock with a corner kick in the 60th minute of the second half!
After taking the lead, the morale of the Newcastle side was even stronger, and they continued to strangle Leicester City in the center circle area.
Although at the last moment, with Ling Feng’s set-piece assist, Ulloa, who came on as a substitute, scored the equalizer and tied Newcastle tenaciously.
However, in this game, many Leicester City players were fouled and violated.
Even the team’s main midfielder “drinking brother” Drinkwater was injured by a shovel and could not continue the game. He was limped back to the locker room by the team doctor.
After the game, Leicester City players refused to shake hands with Newcastle players and went straight back to the locker room.
At the post-match press conference, Pearson rarely condemned Newcastle’s rough fouls and disregarded the safety of the players.
It is worth mentioning that after this game, Leicester City has a deep understanding of a fact:
There are no weak teams in the Premier League!
