The game was a big success, but the team was still young.
Chapter 318 Ling Feng plays against elite players!
“The ball went in!”
“Newcastle equalized the score at the last minute!”
“With less than five minutes left in the regular game, Newcastle may be able to get a precious point from the leader!”
Looking at the Newcastle players rushing to the corner flag area to celebrate wildly, Ranieri, who was sitting in the coaching seat, had a very calm expression.
As the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 will be played in three days, Ranieri also made some rotations in this league against Newcastle.
Ling Feng, the star player who has been rumored to have affairs with other wealthy clubs recently, also sat on the bench for the first time.
Their opponent, Newcastle, led by former England coach McLaren, was heading for the relegation zone.
After 29 rounds, they only had 24 points, ranking second from the bottom, second only to Villa, which had already been relegated this season.
However, the day before the game, Newcastle finally welcomed the new coach, the “tactical master” Benítez.
Even though the legend of “changing coaches is like changing knives” is everywhere, in this matchup between the top and the bottom of the standings, most people thought that Leicester City could easily beat Newcastle at home.
The direction of the game at the beginning was as expected by the public.
Even though Ling Feng, Mahrez, Kante and other absolute main players were not on the field, Leicester City still scored a goal in the 27th minute of the first half with a long shot from outside the penalty area by Drinking Water Brother.
And the lead of this goal was maintained until the 85th minute of the game.
Just when everyone thought the game was won, Newcastle players, under the tactical changes of “tactical master” Benítez, were like crazy at the last moment, constantly attacking the defense of the Blue Foxes.
In the end, Newcastle relied on a corner kick opportunity created by a cross from the wing, and the team’s top thigh Wijnaldum scored a header to equalize the score!
The game ended with a score of 1 to 1.
Before the game, no one would have thought that Newcastle could delay Leicester City’s championship.
This game just proved the saying that there is no weak team in the Premier League!
Especially the relegation team in the Premier League is a tough bone to chew!
Even if they were tied by Newcastle at home. But Leicester City had no regrets or anger.
No other reason, even if the championship rival Tottenham won Villa this round and chased two points.
But there is still a huge gap of 15 points between them and Leicester City!
What’s more, Leicester City has one less round!
It is only a matter of time before the league title is won. Ranieri just hopes that players will not get injured in this kind of game.
This season, Leicester City’s medical team is world-class!
Mahrez, who ranks first in average dribbles per game and first in average fouls per game, and Ling Feng, who ranks third in average fouls per game, are basically present in all games except for rest!
Of course, this is also related to the players’ own physical fitness.
However, compared with Ling Feng, who has full physical attributes, Mahrez, a thin winger, can play in a lumbering league like the Premier League, largely thanks to the care and love of the team’s medical team.
Coupled with Ranieri’s extremely reasonable rotation, Leicester City’s injuries are under very good control.
Until mid-March, the team’s longest injury was only Matty James, an old injured player who was troubled by a knee injury and missed about three months of games due to injury.
Other injured players can recover from their injuries in two or three weeks at most.
This is also one of the important reasons why Leicester City has achieved breakthrough results in three fronts this season.
If it were Arsenal’s veterinary team, they might not have the possibility of competing for the season’s treble!
. . .
A few days later, the King Power Stadium welcomed the “Red Devils” Manchester United, who were looking for revenge.
This game was just a battle of honor for Manchester United.
Since they had already lost four goals at home in the first round.
This means that they must score five goals at the King Power Stadium to turn the tables.
This is almost impossible!
However, it was the hopelessness of promotion that allowed Manchester United to let go and attack with all their strength, thus showing a good state.
From the beginning of the game, Manchester United almost beat the Blue Fox in the half.
However, the offensive was like a tide, but it was thunder and rain.
The problem of lack of a terminator still prevented them from getting the ball into the goal behind the second goalkeeper Schwarzer.
Even if Mata has the ability to send the ball to
Rooney, whose form has declined seriously, is no longer the tank he once was.
As for young talents such as Martial, Rashford, and Depay, their way of handling the ball and their experience are a little immature.
Especially compared with Ling Feng, who is his peer, it is even more unbearable to watch!
In this game, Ling Feng still started the game.
Because of the huge advantage established in the first round, he played very relaxed in this game.
In addition to using his own passes to help Leicester City control the rhythm of the game, he also helped press and assist in defense in the midfield through active running.
Look at Rashford and Martial who rush forward with the ball, and then look at Ling Feng who controls the rhythm of the game with one short pass after another. Manchester United fans are envious.
Compared with their own useless children, Ling Feng is the legendary child of others!
At the last moment of the first half, it was Ling Feng who teamed up with Andy King to intercept Depay’s ball in the midfield, and then sent a fatal through ball, allowing the local young player Gray on the left wing to break into the penalty area and complete a high-quality shot.
If De Gea had not still made a heroic performance that made people exclaim “Duck Dad, save me!”, Ling Feng’s assists in the Europa League might have increased by one more.
In this way, with one attack and one defense, the two sides returned to the locker room with a score of 0-0.
During the halftime break, Ranieri directly replaced the Blue Fox Three Musketeers and asked them to clock out.
Then the team formation was changed to a 442 with parallel positions.
The outcome of this game has actually been settled.
They still have to prepare for the league two days later.
In Ranieri’s plan, the team should win the league championship in advance before the Europa League quarterfinals.
In that case, they can let the main players concentrate on preparing for the Europa League and strive for the third championship trophy of this season!
“Steve, are there any good boys in the youth team?”
On this side, the coaching staff of the Blue Foxes has begun to discuss whether to let some young players from the youth team make their debut in the next round of the league.
However, the situation on the field has quietly changed.
With the departure of the Blue Foxes’ three musketeers, Leicester City’s counterattack threat has obviously decreased by more than a little.
And the frontcourt cannot provide too much threat, so Manchester United’s entire formation can press forward and attack unscrupulously.
Finally, in the 67th minute of the game, Manchester United finally scored the first goal of the two-round match through the passing and cutting cooperation of Martial and Mata, and the French genius demon star scored.
As the goal happened, the morale of Manchester United players was high.
However, just as they continued to attack, they found that the opponent’s defense became tighter!
Moreover, because the formation was too pressed, the space was compressed, and it was even more difficult to penetrate the ball into the offensive third zone.
Leicester City continued to resolutely implement the coach’s tactical instructions, defend well, and then counterattack.
Finally, in the 78th minute, the Blue Foxes, who were being pressed, seized the huge gap left behind by Manchester United’s formation and launched a quick counterattack. Shinji Okazaki scored a goal to equalize the score.
This goal directly destroyed the morale and fighting spirit of Manchester United players.
I worked hard to score a goal, and the opponent only needed a counterattack to equalize the score.
What the hell is this? !
In the end, Van Gaal also gave up the meaningless struggle and chose to replace Rooney, Martial and Fellaini.
Although the Europa League is gone, the league still has to fight for the top four
Finally, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Leicester City tied with Manchester United 1-1 at home, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Europa League with a total score of 5-1!
It is worth mentioning that when shaking hands with the opponent players, Rooney specifically found him:
“Ling, I heard you are going to leave Leicester City?”
As a national teammate, Rooney had privately recruited Ling Feng during his time at St. George’s Park.
And this is the second time!
“Man, join Manchester United, let’s do something big together!”
Faced with the recruitment of the Red Devils captain, Ling Feng could only cover his mouth and give a vague answer:
“Manchester United is a great team, I will consider it.”
After Rooney, Lingard, who came on as a substitute in this game, also found this former teammate and asked very bluntly;
“Man, do you want to come to Manchester United next season?”
Facing Lingard, who has a better relationship with him, Ling Feng rolled his eyes directly, “Please, let me rest for a while”
Lin Huang relied on his good relationship with Ling Feng and bombarded him with text messages from time to time, telling him how great and good Manchester United is.
Especially when Ling Feng was linked with major giants, he called several times.
Come over and ask him if he wants to join Manchester United next season.
Ling Feng was fine at first, but gradually he felt a little annoyed.
Finally, until he threatened to block him if he mentioned the transfer again, Lin Huang stopped.
After Lingard, his national team teammate Smalling also found him.
He said he was exchanging jerseys, but he was actually recruiting him.
Ling Feng even began to wonder if Ferguson had called several people privately and assigned them tasks.
That is, everyone should take the initiative to recruit Ling Feng during the game with Leicester City!
Of course, this kind of recruitment method is not his first time.
He didn’t take it to heart at all.
He would not choose a transfer team because of the lobbying of players from other teams.
Although the more acquaintances in the new team, the better it would be for him to adapt to the new environment.
However, Ling Feng felt that he was a very extroverted person and could integrate into any team.
Besides, with his ability, no matter which team he transfers to, he will be a great success.
The scene of him whispering with Manchester United players was also photographed by the photographer on the scene, and it was published in various media newspapers in a blink of an eye.
“Ling Feng and Rooney are chatting and laughing, and they may become teammates next season!”
“Manchester United has done everything they can to recruit the golden boy!”
The media took the picture of Ling Feng chatting and laughing with Manchester United players, and the previous photos of Manchester United CEO with Mourinho and Mendes, and pieced together a script that they thought was true.
Manchester United, plus Ling Feng, the two most popular hot spots in British football, directly rushed to the major hot searches in the UK.
As for the speculation from the outside world, Ling Feng ignored it and just invited his teammates to his home to watch the new round of the Europa League draw together.
After the other games ended later, the top eight of this season’s Europa League were officially released!
Among the top eight, La Liga occupies three seats, namely Sevilla, Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao.
The remaining five teams are Leicester City in the Premier League, Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Braga in the Portuguese Super League, Shakhtar Donetsk in the Ukrainian Super League, and Sparta Prague in the Czech First League!
After the draw, Leicester City actually drew one of the two strongest teams in the quarterfinals, Dortmund in the Bundesliga!
Even if the defending champion Sevilla drew Villarreal in the same league, it is not as exciting as this strong dialogue.
As for this result, the Blue Fox players who were sitting in the living room and watching the draw ceremony all showed a slightly solemn or serious expression.
You know, as a Bundesliga giant that has been fighting in the Champions League for many years and just entered the Champions League final a few years ago, the “Bumblebee” Dortmund can definitely be called a strong team in the Champions League!
Although Leicester City is invincible in the Premier League this season.
And in the Europa League, it is also killing all the way.
But to be honest, in the European arena, they are just newcomers who are participating in the European war for the second time.
Are they really ready to face the test of the strong teams in the Champions League?
Just when everyone was asking such questions in their hearts, Ling Feng made an unexpected move:
He jumped up from the sofa and said excitedly:
“Nice!”
“We don’t have to go to the Champions League, but we can also compete with the Champions League teams in advance!”
Looking at Ling Feng’s shining eyes, the Leicester City players were suddenly a little confused.
Draw such a strong opponent, shouldn’t they feel
Why is he so excited? !
Facing the different eyes of the crowd, Ling Feng showed a bright smile, opened his arms, and said loudly:
“Guys, I heard that the Westfalen Stadium is a famous devil’s home, let’s go meet them!”
Hearing Ling Feng’s eager tone, the Leicester City players were immediately relieved.
Perhaps, this is why he was shortlisted for the Ballon d’Or at such a young age and ranked among the world’s top players!
He has a fearless mentality!
No matter who the opponent is, he is not afraid and moves forward bravely!
In Ling Feng’s opinion, there is basically no difference between drawing a strong team and a weak team.
Although it is of course best to draw a weaker team, which can make it easier for the team to advance to the next round.
However, nine out of ten things in the world are not satisfactory.
Anyway, no matter who the opponent is, if they want to win the championship, they must defeat all opponents who stand in their way!
So what about Dortmund? So what about the strong teams in the Champions League?
I, Ling Feng, play against the elite!
