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

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 181 The Golden Boy Award, it must be him!

The next day.

In the coach’s office at Belvoir Base.

Holding the freshly-published Guardian, Pearson only had the big headlines on the cover of the newspaper:

“The curse is working!”

He just won the Coach of the Month award a few days ago, and in the next round of the league, he was tied by Newcastle away.

This makes people have to be in awe of the so-called “Coach of the Month Curse”.

For Leicester City, this game is a loss of both the wife and the army.

Not only did a wave of four consecutive Premier League victories end, the high morale was hit, but also a midfielder was lost!

After the game, the team doctor diagnosed that “Drinking Water Brother” Drinkwater had sprained his ankle, and it was conservatively estimated that it would take three to five weeks to recover.

Thinking of this, Pearson, who was sitting in an office chair, threw the newspaper in his hand on the table:

“Damn magpies!”

You know, Drinking Water Brother is Leicester City’s unshakable main force in the midfield.

This English midfielder is both offensive and defensive, with excellent physical fitness, and has a long pass from time to time.

Although most of the energy this season is used for defense, the work of passing the ball from the backcourt is handed over to the more experienced Cambiasso.

However, it is precisely because of the barrier he built in front of the back line that the team’s two slower central defenders will not be easily eaten and broken through by the Premier League giants.

Now that Drinking Water Brother is injured, someone needs to replace him in the starting lineup.

Fortunately, the team’s lineup depth in the midfield is still good.

Andy King, Matty James, and Nick Powell, who was loaned from Manchester United, can all temporarily step up and partner with Cambiasso in the midfield.

Although the strength of the three is slightly inferior to Drinkwater, and the defensive hardness is not enough.

However, they are active in running and cover a good area. It is more than enough to temporarily hold on for a month.

At worst, it is not impossible to pull Lingard, who is full of energy, to the midfield.

In addition to the brother who was directly injured and retired, the core of the team, Ling Feng and Mahrez, were violated many times in this melee with the magpies.

There is no way, the former is the initiator of the team’s attack, and the latter is the sideline explosive point with the most ball in the frontcourt, and they must be the focus of the opponent.

After the team doctor’s examination, both of them have some muscle soft tissue contusion and muscle fatigue.

It is not serious. As long as they recover for a few days, they can basically play in the upcoming third round of the Europa League.

Thinking of this, Pearson looked at assistant coach Walsh sitting on the sofa and asked:

“Steve, who do you think can replace Danny (Drinkwater)?”

“I think Andy is in good shape recently, and he can definitely provide us with enough vitality in the midfield.”

Hearing this, Pearson nodded without hesitation:

“Okay! Then let Andy replace Danny and see the effect!”

Compared to another rotating midfielder, Matty James from Manchester United’s youth training, Andy King, who has been in the team for ten years, is the real one.

Soon, Ling Feng and others found that Andy King put on the main orange vest in the team training match and formed a new midfield partner with Cambiasso.

Andy King is an all-around midfielder.

Basic skills are good, and all aspects of ability are on the average, but there is nothing too outstanding.

However, this type of player is a panacea that every team needs!

. . .

A week later, Leicester City went to Turkey to challenge the Turkish Super League powerhouse Trabzonspor.

It is never easy to play away games in Turkey.

The home stadium of Turkish Super League giant Galatasaray, “Turk Telekom Stadium”, is called “Hell”.

The hot atmosphere of the fans often makes the visiting players and fans feel terrified.

European giants such as Barcelona, ​​AC Milan and Real Madrid have also failed here.

For the Leicester City players who came to Turkey, there is good news and bad news.

The good news is that their opponent is not Galatasaray, but Trabzonspor.

The bad news is that they play as rough as Newcastle!

There are no famous stars in Trabzonspor except Bosingwa.

However, in order to defend the honor of the home court, whether it is the fans in the stands singing loudly, or the home team players on the field, they are also very desperate.

Their playing style is different from other Turkish teams.

Like the team, full of aggression!

In the 30th minute of the first half, amid the boos of the home team fans, the Blue Foxes finally played a beautiful cooperation on the right!

After hitting the wall with Ling Feng, Mahrez, who dribbled the ball to the end line, made a low cross to help Vardy score.

After falling behind, Trabzonspor’s players played more fiercely, and all kinds of fouls came directly.

Especially Ling Feng, who was knocked to the ground many times.

The painful lesson of the last round against Newcastle was vivid, and Pearson was in pain watching on the sidelines.

In the 60th minute of the second half, Pearson was afraid that Ling Feng and other core players would be injured, so he quickly replaced all the “Blue Fox Three Musketeers”!

After the three left the field, Leicester City’s offense suddenly became chaotic, and they had to retreat to the half court and play a defensive counterattack.

Trabzonspor, who had the advantage of home court, became more and more arrogant.

In the remaining 30 minutes, Leicester City was almost pinned down by Trabzonspor in the half court and attacked frantically.

Until the last stage of the game, the Turks still scored a goal through Schmeichel’s goal with a pass and cut, thus equalizing the score!

The final score was also fixed at 1:1.

Although they did not get three points as expected.

However, in the absence of any player injury, taking one point away from home is also an acceptable result.

After returning to England, the team announced a day off so that the players could go home and rest.

And the next morning.

Ling Feng, who was enjoying a hearty breakfast, suddenly received a call from Mendes:

“Ling, congratulations, you are on the list of candidates for the Golden Boy Award!”

“Huh?”

It turned out that just a short time ago, the Italian “Torino Sports Daily” announced the list of 40 candidates for the 2014 European Golden Boy Award!

The European Golden Boy Award is an award founded by the newspaper in 2003.

The award is voted by major European media to select the best young player of the year, and is also considered the “coming of age ceremony” for young rookies

The selection object must be a young player under the age of 21 who plays for a European club.

Turin Sports Daily sends ballots to more than 30 European sports media every year. The maximum score for each ballot is 10 points. In the end, Turin Sports Daily is responsible for counting the scores and awarding the awards.

It can be said that the European Golden Boy Award is definitely the highest-ranking young player selection award in European football.

The winner represents the future of football!

The success rate of previous Golden Boy winners is very high.

Many have achieved success and left their own footprints in football, such as superstars such as Rooney, Messi, Fabregas, Aguero, etc.;

Some have experienced a short period of glory and then quickly fell.

For example, Anderson, Pato, Balotelli.

The last European Golden Boy was Paul Pogba, a talented midfielder from Juventus, a giant in Serie A.

Pogba, who came from Manchester United’s youth training, has become the focus of the “Old Lady” since he transferred from Manchester United to Juventus on a free transfer in 2012.

Under the guidance of Pirlo, Marchisio and others, he grew rapidly and became the main midfielder of Juventus’ three consecutive Serie A titles.

Now only 21 years old, Pogba can be regarded as one of the most outstanding midfielders in the world football!

In the eyes of many people, Pogba has a bright future and can definitely become a superstar.

However, no one would have thought that he would embark on the road of no return to hairstyles.

When Ling Feng saw the list of candidates for the Golden Boy Award in the newspaper, his eyes lit up, and he immediately found the feeling of looking at the list of little demons when he played the football manager game.

Because he knew almost all the names on the candidate list!

Berardi, Januzaj, Kovacic, Deulofeu, Zouma, Laporte, Marquinhos, Coman, Stones

And now, there is one more person on the list!

Suddenly, Ling Feng realized that he had become a super star who could compete for the Golden Boy Award without knowing it!

However, his selection was completely well-deserved.

After the list of candidates was announced, media from various countries made predictions about who would win this year’s European Golden Boy Award.

Most media believe that the winner of this year’s European Golden Boy Award is destined to be born among the two stars of England.

That is Liverpool’s Sterling, who ranked second, and Leicester City’s Ling Feng, who ranked first!

Sterling, who was only 19 years old, performed absolutely shockingly in 2014.

In the Premier League, he contributed an outstanding data of nine goals and five assists;

With Sturridge,

Suarez formed the fearsome “3S” combination and helped Liverpool win the Premier League runner-up;

In the Brazil World Cup, he followed the Three Lions to break through and reach the quarterfinals, repeatedly speeding on the wing and tearing open the opponent’s defense!

If nothing unexpected happened, Sterling would have won the European Golden Boy Award this year with a higher performance.

Unfortunately, he met Ling Feng who suddenly emerged!

Ling Feng, who only played for Leicester City’s first team in January, has performed phenomenally in the past ten months!

As the core of the team, he helped Leicester City win the record-breaking Championship and FA Cup double championships, and historically entered the European stage after many years.

Season data: 20 goals and 30 assists, breaking the assist record in the league and FA Cup, and winning the best in both Championships;

In the World Cup, he helped the Three Lions reach the quarterfinals and was successfully elected the best newcomer in the World Cup;

After being promoted to the Premier League with the team, he led the Foxes to the top four of the standings as a super dark horse without any adaptation period;

He also became the first player in the five major leagues to assist in double figures, ranking first in the league assists list!

Many media exclaimed that they had never seen a young player rise so fast!

From completing his debut in the Championship, to leading the team to win the double championship, to completing his national team debut and participating in the World Cup, and finally helping the newly promoted team to rank in the top four of the league, ranking first in the league assists list

Some professional players can’t do it in their entire careers, but Ling Feng only took less than a year!

With charming looks, outstanding skills, and the unreserved praise of the British media, Ling Feng’s fame has spread almost all over England and even Europe!

According to the performance on the field in various events, Ling Feng is obviously superior!

This is why the public and the media regard him as the hot candidate for the Golden Boy Award!

In addition to the good news that Ling Feng was selected as a candidate for the Golden Boy Award, Mendes also brought him a piece of news:

BBC Sports intends to invite him and Beckham to do an interview program together!

In the eyes of the producer of BBC Sports, the meeting between the real Beckham and the new Beckham will definitely be very interesting!

Ling Feng readily agreed to this invitation!

So, later that day, Ling Feng, who changed into casual clothes, came to a studio in London.

Just as he shook hands with the staff on the scene, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was the handsome Beckham!

“Hey, Beckham (nickname of Beckham)!”

“Hey, Ling!”

The two smiled and hugged.

And this scene was also faithfully recorded by the camera.

“When did you come?”

“I arrived yesterday.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sat on a sofa and began an interview facing the camera.

“Ling, you have repeatedly stated on social media and in public that David is your football idol. Now, how does it feel to be interviewed with your idol?”

Hearing this, Ling Feng smiled slightly at first, then spread his hands and said seriously:

“Although it is a pity that we are not fighting side by side on the court. But, I feel like I am dreaming!”

Ling Feng was telling the truth 100%.

Before crossing, he had never thought that he would be able to sit and chat with Xiaobei one day!

Hearing this answer, Xiaobei on the side also smiled, and couldn’t help but mutter in his heart:

This kid really gives face!

If you don’t know Ling Feng’s character, you might think that Ling Feng is deliberately flattering him.

“David, this outstanding young man next to you has been selected as a candidate for the Golden Boy Award. As a senior, how big do you think his chances are to win the Golden Boy Award?”

Faced with this question, Beckham answered without hesitation:

“I personally think that the Golden Boy Award belongs to him!”

When this was said, not only the interviewing reporter, but also Ling Feng was stunned.

Then, Beckham smiled and began to explain:

“This year, he showed us his amazing talent and talent. I watched every game of England in Brazil.”

“At that time, I thought, this kid is too good. Look at those passes, it’s incredible”

“Of course, if he was wearing Manchester United’s No. 7 at the time, I might be happier.”

Hearing this, the interviewing reporter seemed to catch something, his eyes lit up, and immediately asked;

“Do you think Ling Feng can become Manchester United’s No. 7?”

“Why not? I have no intention of offending Leicester City, but I think every team wants to have a genius like Ling.”

“To be honest, I recommended Ling to the boss when I called him before.”

After hearing such explosive news suddenly revealed by Beckham, not only the interviewing reporter, but even Ling Feng beside him could not help but feel a wave of ripples in his heart!

Who else can Beckham call “boss” except Sir Alex Ferguson who has been in charge of Manchester United for more than 20 years? !

Beckham actually recommended me to Ferguson? !
