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

The old man was very happy, but he was very happy.

Chapter 186 Victory is not as easy to get as the dandelions on the hillside

The cold rain slapped the body.

But it did not extinguish the violently beating hearts of Ling Feng and the Leicester City players, and the surging passion of the fans!

After hugging his teammates one by one, Ling Feng gave Mahrez a big hug:

“Good pass, Riyad!”

“I thought you would hit the ball away. You know, you hit a lot of chickens away during training.”

Faced with the teasing, Ling Feng just shrugged and smiled, “Who made me feel good about shooting today.”

Originally, even if the weather was fine and the ball was not slippery, his long-range shooting accuracy outside the penalty area was not high.

Long-range shooting requires strength and angle, both of which are indispensable.

But because his shooting power is insufficient, in order to increase the speed of the ball, he can only try his best to shoot.

But this makes it very easy to hit the ball away or miss.

Therefore, he can only achieve a balance point for his long-range shooting through continuous long-range shooting training, with a certain ball speed and a tricky angle!

And for the beautiful ground-level slash just now, he admitted that he had a gambling component.

Fortunately, he gambled right!

Thanks to the heavy rain, the grass became slippery, which naturally increased the speed of the ball.

Otherwise, Foster might have saved the ball.

The beginning of this game was not as the outside world had guessed.

Not only the downpour, but also this wonderful long shot!

“This is Ling Feng’s sixth league goal this season. It is worth mentioning that five of these six goals were scored by him outside the penalty area!”

“This number is the highest among all Premier League players!”

After taking the lead at St. Mary’s Stadium, Leicester City, playing away, attacked more fiercely.

This is the main tactical theme of Leicester City this season – attack to death!

Either the opponent is killed, or you are killed by the opponent’s counterattack!

After scoring the goal, Leicester City, with its morale boosted, continued to launch wave after wave of attacks on the Saints’ back line.

And Ling Feng, who felt good about shooting today, became the most active one on the field.

After additional training, his [shooting power] attribute has been improved to 65.

When shooting with full force, the ball speed can reach 90 kilometers per hour.

Long shots outside the penalty area are still quite threatening.

Once he gets the ball outside the penalty area, he will try to kick a powerful long shot!

In just ten minutes, he added three more shots for himself and the team!

However, the three shots were either too far away and not fast enough, and Foster easily took them off;

Or they were blocked by the central defender or the defensive midfielder.

However, the accuracy of the three shots was not outrageous, and they were basically aimed at the goal range.

As for Ling Feng’s “random shot” on the field, Leicester City coach Pearson on the sidelines had only one reaction:

That was applause!

“Well done!”

“Good shot!”

“Keep it up!”

In his opinion, this league game is insignificant.

Regardless of winning or losing, it will not affect the team’s goal of relegation, nor will it affect the team’s morale or atmosphere.

On the contrary, this is the first game in which he gave Ling Feng unlimited firing rights!

If this game can further stimulate Ling Feng’s desire to shoot and make him evolve into a free man in the frontcourt who can pass and shoot, the team’s offense will definitely be improved!

As for other Blue Fox players, whether it is the tactical order of the head coach or the trust in Ling Feng, they are willing to run and press in the frontcourt to pull the Saints’ defense line, thereby creating more shooting space for Ling Feng.

They know very well that Ling Feng’s performance determines the lower limit and upper limit of the team!

With Ling Feng on the court and without Ling Feng on the court, Leicester City can be said to be completely two teams.

So, surround him and play your level as much as possible, and victory will come!

. . .

“Ling Feng Ling Feng Ling~~~ Feng!”

“He is from Leicester, he is our hero!”

“His pass is fascinating.”

“Ling Feng Ling Feng Ling~~~ Feng!”

“He is from Leicester, he is our pride!”

Seeing Ling Feng so active, thousands of away fans who traveled with the team also began to shout

Singing “Song of Lingfeng”

Lingfeng, who heard the song, seemed to be energized, running harder and harder, almost everywhere.

However, the Saints’ defense line’s ability to withstand pressure is better than most teams in the league.

Although the scene looked passive, the fans were also terrified, not knowing why Leicester City scored another goal.

However, both the Saints players on the field and Coman, who stood on the sidelines and let the heavy rain soak him, were very confident in themselves.

In the training and tactical meetings before the game, they knew that Leicester City was a “crazy” team that held high offensive football.

The reason why other Premier League teams think Leicester City is crazy is also very simple.

Leicester City’s style of play is to attack the opponent from the first second of the opening until the last second.

Even when facing the giants Chelsea and Arsenal, they choose to take the initiative and play against each other.

In their impression, don’t newly promoted teams play with five defenders or counterattack, let other teams bombard them, try to steal one, and then survive in the cracks of this league? !

Where have they seen such an arrogant, crazy, and successful newly promoted team!

However, this newly promoted team that rushed to the top of the league standings like crazy is not without weaknesses.

After ten rounds of the league, Leicester City lost more than one goal per game.

It is not uncommon to lose two or three goals in a single game.

It can be seen that although Leicester City’s offense is sharp, its defense is not good.

Moreover, the lack of mobility of the defenders, slow turning and chasing speed, is a very obvious shortcoming.

As long as they resist the attack, then seize the opportunity of offense and defense conversion, and play a quick counterattack, they can hit a fatal blow!

This is also the tactic adopted by Southampton in this game-defense counterattack!

They are not superstitious about ball possession, but more concerned about the speed of offensive advancement.

As long as they can advance quickly and effectively, they can form an advantage of playing fast against slow in the frontcourt, so that Mane, who has super explosive ability, can challenge two slow central defenders of Leicester City.

In this way, the chance of scoring will only be greatly increased!

However, the only thing that surprised them was Ling Feng’s desire to shoot in this game.

Although they guessed that the opponent might increase long shots in the heavy rain.

However, they never thought that the increased number of long shots was actually completed by Ling Feng.

You know, Ling Feng, as the top of the league assists list, has only 1.3 shots per game.

As a midfielder who mainly organizes assists, such an average number of shots per game is not uncommon.

However, his shot conversion rate is among the top five in the league!

Fourteen shots resulted in six goals, with a conversion rate of 0.42!

Such a conversion rate is even comparable to many first-class forwards.

What is most puzzling is why a midfielder who doesn’t “like” shooting suddenly becomes so keen on long-range shooting?

In just less than 40 minutes, he contributed five shots alone.

And the positions of the shots were all outside the penalty area.

Why is there such a huge change? !

This is what Southampton coach Coman, who is standing on the sidelines, thinks at this moment.

However, when he saw Pearson cheering Ling Feng on the sidelines, he immediately understood.

“It must be the coach’s arrangement!”

Could it be that this game was specially arranged by Pearson to train Ling Feng’s long-range shooting ability? !

Thinking of this, Coman frowned and became more certain that he was right.

Because this is entirely possible!

Ling Feng’s amazing talent and offensive talent can be seen by a blind man.

In terms of passing, he is already comparable to many top midfielders.

If he can develop long shots, Ling Feng’s threat on the field will definitely become greater!

Perhaps, he will become a passing-enhanced version of Gerrard, or Lampard? !

Of course, football is a game of offense and defense, and it is important to have both offense and defense, not just strong offense or defense.

The more the formation presses on the offense, the emptier the defense space will be, and the more opportunities there will be.

Moreover, although Leicester City almost suppressed Southampton in the half, there were very few who really threatened the goal.

Until the 43rd minute of the game, Southampton, who was suppressed by Leicester City, finally seized a precious opportunity to switch offense and defense and played a beautiful quick counterattack:

With a “bang”, Ling Feng’s long shot was blocked by Fonte’s legs again.

The ball bounced out and came to the Saints’ back midfielder Sneijder.

Under Delin’s feet.

Snyderlin pulled the ball and turned around, looking up and looking forward, and then made a long pass to Pelle in the frontcourt.

The latter first resisted Morgan who was pulling him with his back, then stopped the ball with his chest, and then passed the ball to Tadic who was responding on the right side with a half-turned situation.

At this moment, Leicester City’s backcourt was empty, with only two central defenders left!

After the Serbian magician got the ball, he glanced back at Schlupp who was chasing back frantically, and did not carry the ball forward.

He knew very well that his dribbling speed was not fast enough, and even if he carried the ball forward, it would not be faster than Schlupp’s chasing speed.

Once Schlupp caught up and committed a foul or interfered, this rare counterattack was basically over.

So, he subconsciously looked up at the far end of the other side of the court.

Seeing that Mané had already started to move forward, he flicked the outside of his left foot and sent a precise 45-degree long pass!

The ball was like a precision-guided missile, crossing the entire Leicester City defense line and flying straight to the no-man’s land on the left side of the front court.

“A beautiful long pass transfer!”

“A huge gap appeared in Leicester City’s defense!”

And Mané, who was inserted at high speed, got in position before Simpson who was chasing back!

The Southampton No. 10 stopped the ball with his chest in the penalty area, and then without waiting for the ball to land, he shot it before Schmeichel who was attacking!

The whole action was very coherent.

Although the flying ball hit Schmeichel’s open left hand and broke the line.

But it still went into the empty goal behind him!

“Wow!”

“A beautiful shot! Southampton equalized the score in the first half!”

“The goal was scored by number 10, Sadio~~~”

Accompanied by the DJ’s preparations, the home team fans shouted out the goal hero in unison:

“Mane!!!”

Mane, who scored the goal, rushed all the way to the corner flag area and also slid down handsomely!

“Both teams are very strong in the league’s offensive firepower. Both goals in the first half were very exciting.”

“Could it be that in this game, we will witness another classic goal battle?!”

And this goal fully demonstrated Mane’s strong physical fitness and flexibility.

The physical fitness of the African brother is really unsolvable

And seeing his tactics work, Coman on the sidelines also excitedly punched the air to celebrate.

Then he looked at Pearson not far away.

Let your formation press so hard!

Looking at the Saints players celebrating wildly in the corner flag area, the Leicester City players also realized that the opponent in front of them was not a mid-to-lower-level team like Burnley and West Bromwich Albion that had no power to fight back.

And victory was not like a dandelion on the hillside, which could be easily obtained.

Instead, they needed to go all out!

As the Saints equalized the score, the two sides returned to the same starting line again.

Entering the halftime break with a one-to-zero lead was completely different from entering the halftime break with a one-to-one lead.

The former would make them play more calmly in the second half, while the latter would make the second half more anxious.

Due to the heavy rain and the loss of body heat, the physical fitness of the players on both sides seemed to have reached a critical point.

So, in the remaining minutes of the first half, the Foxes and the Saints seemed to have agreed not to attack.

With the referee’s whistle, the first half came to an end.

After a short halftime break, the second half started.

Fifteen minutes of rain did not reduce the intensity of the rain.

Moreover, the drainage system of St. Mary’s Stadium was quite good, and the water accumulation on the field was not serious.

Even so, both sides greatly reduced the passing on the ground in the second half and switched to long passes.

For a while, the ball kept flying in the air!

The grass was slippery, and after slipping and falling several times, the players on both sides did not dare to rush too hard to avoid straining or spraining their knees.

In this special game environment, Southampton, with a big center as the fulcrum of the frontcourt, slowly took the initiative on the field and gradually had some offensive.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Tadic took the ball on the right and wanted to pass it directly to Pelle in the middle, but Schlupp stretched his legs to block it and blocked the ball out of the baseline.

After getting a corner kick in the frontcourt, Saints coach Coman immediately realized that this was a great opportunity and quickly waved his hand to signal:

“Go!”

“Go for the header!”

With Snyderlin, Alderweireld, Font and other high points rushing up from the backcourt, the entire Leicester City penalty area was suddenly crowded with people.

With the referee’s whistle

Tadic took a corner kick, and the ball drew a strange arc in the air and flew over the crowd in the penalty area.

At this moment, with the help of his teammates’ pick-and-roll, Pellet got rid of the defenders, jumped high, and headed the ball!

The next second, the ball turned into a black shadow, flew past Schmeichel’s hand, and slammed into the white net behind him!
