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

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 185: The King of Football Plays, Heavy Rain Cuts Saints!

“Shoot!!!”

The moment the inner side of the arch of the foot hit the ball, the rain splashed up, and the ball shot out with a strong rotation!

It just flew past the side of Southampton central defender Alderweireld and went straight to the right side of the goal.

Perhaps it was blocked from view, so Ling Feng’s shooting action could not be seen.

However, as Ling Feng’s national team teammate, Southampton goalkeeper Foster may be one of the people who knows Ling Feng’s shooting habits best.

Because when training at St. George’s Park, Gerrard always let Ling Feng be the goalkeeper when teaching him how to practice long shots.

According to Gerrard’s original words, if a two-meter-tall goalkeeper can’t block your long shot, then your long shot must be very tricky and full of power!

Therefore, Foster knew very well that Ling Feng’s long shot outside the penalty area would generally choose a push angle.

And he liked to shoot on the right side of the goal.

So, Foster, who was nearly two meters tall, subconsciously made a decision:

Dive to the left!

When he stretched his body and flew to the left, he saw the ball coming towards him.

At that moment, he knew that he guessed right!

However, facing the slippery ball, Foster did not dare to be careless.

Instead of catching it directly with his hands, he directly saved the ball out of the baseline!

Seeing the ball fly out of the baseline, the away fans immediately sighed in unison.

The home fans gave Foster a warm applause for his save performance.

However, the first thing Foster did when he stood up was to scold his teammates:

“Damn it!”

“Don’t let him shoot!”

After being scolded by Foster, the Saints, including Southampton captain Fonte, suddenly remembered the instructions of head coach Koeman:

The Blue Fox No. 7 in front of them is not only good at passing and assisting.

In ten rounds of games, he has scored five league goals!

Moreover, the five league goals were almost all shot from outside the penalty area!

Coman, who was wearing a suit and was soaked on the sidelines, was also scared by this kick and cursed:

“Damn it!”

“I told you to defend his long shot!”

“Are you amnesiac?!”

What he cares about is not the possible loss of the ball, but the players’ disobedience to his tactical arrangements!

On the other side, seeing Foster save his shot, Ling Feng’s eyes flashed with regret.

Although it was a pity that he did not penetrate the gate guarded by Foster.

However, Ling Feng felt that his shooting was pretty good today.

“Jesse, great pass!”

After giving Lingard his first compliment of the game, he combed his wet hair back and ran to the corner flag area, ready to take the corner kick.

The raindrops kept falling.

The fans in the stands had already put on their raincoats.

The players on the field were soaked, their jerseys stuck to their bodies tightly, and they felt very uncomfortable.

However, the weather is also part of the game.

After getting a corner kick in the frontcourt, the two central defenders of the Blue Foxes also entered the penalty area, ready to compete for headers.

The corner kick taken by Ling Feng just bypassed Fonte at the front point and landed on Morgan’s head.

However, the ball was a bit slippery, and the Blue Foxes captain barely hit the bottom of the ball.

With a “bang”, the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

With the heavy rain, ground coordination became more and more difficult.

In addition, Leicester City’s crazy pressing in the frontcourt made Southampton dare not control the ball in the backcourt and directly made a long pass!

The target of the long pass was either Pelle, the big center forward in the frontcourt, or Mane on the left.

The former had a body and the latter had speed, both of which were players who could create threats in the frontcourt.

When the game reached the 16th minute, Alderweireld, the central defender who was pressed by Vardy, did not find a nearby contact point, so he had to make a long pass to the frontcourt.

“Southampton’s long pass from the backcourt.”

“Found Pelle, the number 19”

Facing the high ball, Pelle first skillfully raised his buttocks, leaned on Morgan, who was like a black tower behind him, and then jumped up and headed the ball back to Steven Davis who was advancing.

The latter made a direct over-the-top diagonal pass to the left side of the frontcourt.

And Mane, who was speeding up, subconsciously started running wildly!

Even the raindrops on his dark face were left behind by his speed.

“Nice overhead pass!”

“Mane is sprinting at full speed.”

Fortunately, Leicester City’s starting right back is Danny Simpson, who is strong and fast, instead of De Wright, who has speed but no hardness.

The two raced madly, and then at the moment when Mane was about to stretch his legs to get the ball, Simpson fell to the ground and slid to the ground, first shoveling the ball out of the sideline!

This beautiful defense also made the visiting fans applaud.

As the rain got heavier, the scene became very open!

Both sides adopted the simplest offensive routine, which was to go straight.

As Leicester City’s formation pressed forward, Southampton’s two midfielders or defenders took the ball and directly made a long pass behind their defense line.

Then let Mane use his speed to attack the Blue Fox’s defense line.

Or find Pelle, and then let him pass the ball to both sides, and then quickly advance or cross.

In the heavy rain, the tactical value of the big center forward is undoubtedly revealed!

Compared to Pelle, who frequently appeared in the frontcourt and repeatedly played as a fulcrum to pass the ball to his teammates, Vardy seemed very quiet.

In the first fifteen minutes of the game, he only touched the ball once!

Vardy, who was relatively thin, could not get the ball in front of the two tall central defenders Fonte and Alderweireld.

Moreover, because Southampton’s formation did not press forward, it was impossible to pass the ball behind him through the overhead ball, which also caused Vardy to be unable to exert his speed and impact.

He could only keep cruising and interweaving in the ribs, waiting for his teammates to pass the ball.

However, compared with Leicester City’s high-position pressure, Southampton’s frontcourt pressing was not active.

Leicester City can calmly pass the ball in the backcourt, and then pass it to Ling Feng who returned or Mahrez on the right to organize.

As for Lingard, he used his off-ball running to help his teammates pull space.

Although the sound of the rain almost covered the shouts of the players on the field and blocked the view.

However, the drainage of St. Mary’s Stadium is still good, at least there is no water accumulation for the time being.

Coupled with the tacit understanding over the past few months, the Foxes’ front four can run out of space and play simple and direct cooperation.

However, every time Ling Feng gets the ball, he will be “served” by Wanyama and Snyderlin in turn.

The Premier League has been going on for three months.

As the most outstanding young player in the Premier League this season and the absolute core of Leicester City, his playing style and habits have been repeatedly studied countless times by football experts, commentators and the other 19 teams.

Everyone knows that his footwork is average, and his passing depends entirely on bursts and soup.

The rain makes the ball slippery, and Ling Feng, who originally has average ball control skills, dares not let the ball stay under his feet for too long.

However, Ling Feng is also used to this situation and has come up with a way to crack it.

That is to be patient!

Can’t turn around?

It doesn’t matter, just knock the ball back to the midfield and continue to run to the empty space.

With his explosiveness and speed, there are not many defensive midfielders in the entire Premier League who can keep up with him.

Either he retreats to get the ball, draws the defensive midfielder out, and creates space in the middle;

Or he frequently switches positions with Mahrez, runs through the ribs, and launches an attack.

Football games are a game of restriction and counter-restriction!

It can be said that in the past three months, the Premier League is adapting to Ling Feng, and Ling Feng is also adapting to the Premier League!

And from the current point of view, he has adapted very well!

So well that the other 19 Premier League teams regard him as the number one threat to Leicester City. In every game, they specially arrange a “bodyguard” for him to follow him for 90 minutes.

And this trick was somewhat effective at the beginning.

However, with Ling Feng’s explosiveness and speed, coupled with the improvement of his physical confrontation ability, he also adapted to this special treatment.

Soon, both Snyderlin and Wanyama found something very uncomfortable:

Ling Feng was running around in the frontcourt, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, and then back to the middle.

They couldn’t keep up with him at all!

Moreover, it was impossible for them to leave their own defense zone and follow Ling Feng all the way!

This was also thanks to the head coach and Leicester City.

Pearson gave Ling Feng almost unlimited freedom in the frontcourt and the right to fire.

Although he played as a front midfielder, he would not only move in the middle. He was similar to a free man in the frontcourt, and he could move as he wanted.

Other teammates only needed to cooperate with him and follow his command to move and pull space.

Whether to pass or shoot, it was up to him to decide.

This kind of kicking style was also called “King of Football Kick” by fans.

And this kind of treatment can only be enjoyed by a few players with super personal abilities.

For example

Bale of Tottenham, C Ronaldo of Manchester United, Ronaldinho and Messi of Barcelona!

Although Ling Feng’s personal breakthrough ability is not strong, he is not as good as the above superstars.

However, he has an almost abnormally wide field of vision, and his passing is accurate to the millimeter, which can help his teammates score more easily!

Of course, he creates scoring opportunities for his teammates.

In turn, his teammates will also selflessly assist him!

When the game reached the 25th minute, Ling Feng retreated again to receive the ball, and then passed the ball directly to Mahrez on the right.

Facing Southampton’s left-back Bertrand, the latter did not break through along the side, but cut inside and took two steps to the left, and then suddenly passed a diagonal pass behind Bertrand.

Ling Feng, who went around to the right, inserted at high speed and got the ball before Bertrand turned around and chased back.

“Ling Feng got the ball on the right side of the front court, he can pass it!”

Came to the right side of the front court to get the ball, and had already entered Ling Feng’s cross area.

He paused for a moment and pretended to cross the ball.

Sure enough, Bertrand was fooled by his fake move and jumped up, trying to block his 40-degree cross.

Hmm?

Didn’t pass? !

The next second, before he landed, he saw Ling Feng gently push his feet and pass a ground ball from his feet.

Looking back, he saw Mahrez make a forward run from the rib space and grab the ball back in the penalty area before the ball went out of the baseline.

Seeing this, Saints captain Font immediately called his partner to come forward:

“Toby, don’t let him cross the ball!”

While shouting, he did not forget to reach out to stop Vardy who tried to rush forward and stuck him firmly behind him.

Hearing this, another central defender Alderweireld stepped forward with his hands behind his back, trying to block Mahrez’s cross route.

Seeing Vardy being watched closely and Lingard unable to pass the ball, Mahrez was not in a hurry. He just shook his right ankle and passed the ball to the top of the penalty area!

He didn’t even turn his head to observe that area.

Because, the countless cooperation and tacit understanding in training and games made him very sure that the guy would definitely appear where he should appear!

“Mahrez passed the ball!”

“Inverted triangle!”

What? !

Just as the Southampton players followed the rolling ball closely, they suddenly turned back and found that a figure appeared at the top of the penalty area like a ghost!

It was Ling Feng who cut in from the right!

Damn!

Come again? !

“Don’t let him shoot.”

This time, before Fonte finished shouting, Ling Feng directly met the ball and pushed the ball hard!

At the moment of shooting, time seemed to stop.

All the fans in the stands subconsciously held their breath.

However, the home team fans were praying that the shot would miss; the away team fans were expecting the ball to fly into the goal.

Standing on the goal line, the “giant” Foster, who was trying to open his eyes wide, was once again faced with a difficult choice.

Left or right? Or the middle?

With a “bang”, the ball shot out!

At the same time, Foster subconsciously made a save.

He still chose to save on the left.

And this time, he guessed the direction right again!

However, compared to the last long shot, Ling Feng deliberately lowered the ball this time and made a standard ground-level cut.

Perhaps the slippery grass reduced the friction, so that the ball’s speed was much faster.

Even if Foster saved the right direction, the two-meter tall man was still half a beat slower when landing.

He could only watch the ball slip from his fingertips and go into the goal from the inside of the right goal post!

The ball came into close contact with the white net, creating waves and waves in the fans’ anxious hearts!

“The ball went in!!!”

“GOAL~~~GOAL~~~”

“A beautiful ground cut!”

Watching the ball go into the net, the fans were happy and sad.

The home team fans either covered their heads and sighed, or looked helpless.

The away team fans cheered with a deafening roar!

Amid the roars, Ling Feng, who scored the goal, turned around and rushed to the stands where the away team fans were.

While running, he waved his hands and called on his teammates to celebrate together.

Then, when he was about to reach the sidelines, he slid down on the slippery grass for a long distance!

After leaving two clear marks on the grass, he did not stand up immediately.

Instead, he knelt on his knees, opened his arms, raised his head, and welcomed the visiting fans with a look of enjoyment.

Mahrez, Vardy and others behind him also slid down and hugged them.

Together.

This is definitely a moment worth remembering.

Because, a super genius named “Ling Feng” represented Leicester City and conquered St. Mary’s Stadium for the first time!
