Chapter 256
The game was a big success, but the game was a big success.
Chapter 256 Two consecutive wins, making the little demon cry
Two consecutive hits within 20 minutes of the start directly stunned all the players of Portugal U21.
Including the young B Seat, all the Portuguese players looked confused and helpless.
Didn’t the coach say that as long as they kept an eye on the number seven, they could win the game?
But the problem now is that they can’t keep an eye on him at all!
The Portuguese midfielder William Carvalho was responsible for closely marking Ling Feng in this game.
This dark and tough-looking old man is the main midfielder of the Portuguese Super League giant Sporting Lisbon, and is also the most experienced player in the adult national team of this Portugal U21 team.
Carvalho has excellent defensive positioning and anticipation and interception abilities. He became the main defensive midfielder of the Portuguese adult national team two years ago.
Originally, with him building a barrier in the midfield, no one could easily threaten Portugal’s defense.
However, the opponent he met was Ling Feng, who should not appear in this level of competition!
In the year when Portugal won the European Cup, in addition to the golden boy Sanches who emerged out of nowhere and Eder who scored the winning goal, the one who impressed him most in that Portuguese team was this main Portuguese defensive midfielder.
Because Carvalho’s speed is too slow, so slow!
In the face of this bulky and slow defensive midfielder, Ling Feng had no pressure at all.
He only needed to make a soup to get rid of Carvalho, the wooden stake.
The big black man didn’t even have time to turn around, let alone see his taillights!
Seeing that the situation was not right, while the English players were celebrating, the coach of Portugal U21 quickly called Carvalho and another midfielder Oliveira to the sidelines.
Originally, Portugal’s tactical formation was 4132, with Carvalho as a single defensive midfielder to protect the back line.
However, seeing that Ling Feng was too strong, Carvalho alone could not limit his performance.
So, the Portuguese coach made a prompt decision to drag a midfielder back to the defensive midfielder, and then retracted the formation to further stop Ling Feng through multiple double-teaming and fouls.
Although he also considered that the two defensive midfielders might not be able to keep an eye on Ling Feng.
However, this is the only way he can think of and do at present.
After the kick-off, Portugal’s formation changed from the offensive 4132 to the defensive counterattack 451.
At this moment, the idea of the Portuguese coach is very simple, that is, the opponent must not be allowed to score again in the first half!
Once the score gap widens to three or even four goals, the players’ mentality will inevitably be unbalanced, and this game is likely to be a bloodbath by a large score!
And such a tragedy in the first group match will inevitably cause a huge blow to the already unstable mentality of the young players, thus affecting the next two group matches.
Losing is not terrible, but losing confidence in oneself is the most terrible thing!
On the other side, seeing the Portuguese change their formation, Southgate, who was sitting on the sidelines, just crossed his legs and looked at the disciples on the field with a calm expression.
The team’s performance is very good at present, and it has an absolute upper hand.
He has no reason to change himself because of the changes made by the opponent.
However, he ignored the changes in the mentality of the young players.
The 2-0 lead so quickly made the English young lions a little bit floating.
They suddenly felt that this Portugal did not seem as strong as they imagined, and even a little vulnerable.
Less than half an hour after the start of this game, they had easily scored two goals.
Then this game is basically won!
Thinking of this, the young lions of England began to have their own little thoughts.
Unlike Ling Feng, who had already made a name for himself in Europe, other teammates participated in the European Youth Championship just to use this stage to show their talents and talents, increase their fame and attract more attention, so as to achieve a leap in their careers.
And with so many spectators and fans on the scene and in front of the TV, isn’t it a good opportunity for them to show their talents? !
So, whether it was Southgate on the sidelines or the English fans in the stands, they soon discovered that England’s offense became less simple and direct.
England’s two full-backs began to be unwilling to be lonely and frequently dribbled along the sidelines.
The two defensive midfielders who had originally stayed behind, Ward Prowse and Chalobah, no longer directly passed the ball to Ling Feng in front, allowing him to organize the attack
.
Instead, he tried to dribble forward and look for an attacking opportunity.
Seeing this, Ling Feng didn’t care.
Although the team’s tactic was to give the ball to him to organize the attack.
However, this level of competition really didn’t interest him much.
He didn’t want to put all the burden on himself and play to exhaustion.
He always believed that football is a team sport.
Eleven people on the field may need to go all out for the goal of victory.
If you score and assist, you should also give your teammates some opportunities to show off.
So, watching Ward Prowse dribbling forward, he just kept running in the air, attracting the opponent’s two midfielders while opening up space for his teammates.
As Ling Feng ran and pulled in the air, Portugal’s central defense was immediately involved, and Prowse suddenly sent a diagonal pass, which hit the empty space behind the left back Guerrero.
England’s right winger Raymond inserted at high speed, then took advantage of the situation and cut into the penalty area with a right foot buckle!
However, his action connection speed was a little slow, and the Portuguese central defender kicked the ball out.
Portugal seemed to have little power to fight back.
Next, England’s young lions showed off on the field.
If you can pass the ball at the first time, don’t pass it;
If you can hit the wall and pass one, you have to carry it twice more, twist it twice more, and do a few bicycle kicks.
As the offense was slowed down by unnecessary dribbling and movements, Portugal gradually adapted to England’s offensive routine and regained some possession.
At the same time, with the large forward pressure of the full-backs and the defensive midfielder, the space exposed by the defense is getting bigger and bigger.
And the young people of Portugal also seized the few opportunities and played a quick counterattack!
In the 37th minute of the game, Portugal’s left back Guerrero intercepted the ball from Raymond, who dribbled too much, and then passed it directly to the core No. 10 B Seat in the team.
The Portuguese Messi, who has already established himself as a regular starter in Monaco in Ligue 1, first used a deep-fried meatball to easily pass Chalobah, who was trying to steal the ball, and then quickly advanced forward with the ball in the middle.
Prowse, who was not fast, could only chase back desperately, but he could not stop him from sending a precise diagonal pass after pushing across the half court.
The ball was handed to the winger Caballero who was inserted at high speed on the left, who easily passed the England right back Chambers who lost his balance with a fake upper body.
He cut inside to the penalty area line at the speed of the wind and shot directly into the far corner!
England goalkeeper Bertrand was unable to react in time and flew to save the ball, but he could not touch the ball.
With a “swish”, the ball hit the net, splashing waves of white waves!
This counterattack was simple and efficient, and it was done in one go!
The entire attack was launched and scored with only three passes, passing through the feet of three players!
After the team scored a goal, the Portuguese fans watching the game finally felt proud and waved their national flags with red faces, expressing their excitement.
The morale of the young Portuguese players on the field was immediately high.
Although you England are strong, we Portugal are not weak either!
Seeing Cavaleiro couldn’t wait to pick up the ball and run to the kick-off point in the center circle, the English defenders looked at each other in bewilderment.
They didn’t expect that the opponent would break through their defense line with just a simple counterattack.
At this time, Ling Feng, as the captain, knew very well that he should stand up!
He clapped his hands and said loudly:
“Hey! Guys, focus!”
When his teammates’ attention was drawn to him, he raised his hands and pressed them down:
“Hold on! Don’t rush!”
“The game is not only 30 minutes long. Don’t give the opponent any chances before the game whistle blows!!!”
“We are still ahead, so let’s keep it up!”
As the team’s strongest and most experienced player, Ling Feng has won the recognition and support of most teammates in just one week.
Especially when they saw that Berahino, who didn’t give face in the locker room, was directly abandoned by the head coach, the young lions understood more clearly who had the final say in this team!
Under Ling Feng’s reminder, the team did not lose its footing at the last moment of the first half, but steadily controlled the situation.
With a score of 2-1 back to the locker room, under the deep emphasis of head coach Southgate, the young lions also realized that the opponent was not a pushover.
If they want to win the game, they must go all out and play more like a whole!
So, in the second half, the Portuguese team, who wanted to take advantage of the victory, found that their opponents
He calmed down all of a sudden.
The situation on the field suddenly changed back to the situation at the beginning of the game in the first fifteen minutes.
England’s attack was no longer reckless or impatient.
The backcourt and midfielders handed the ball to Ling Feng in a disciplined manner, and then the frontcourt players kept running and pulling the space to create space for Ling Feng to pass the ball.
And Ling Feng did not disappoint them.
In the 62nd minute of the game, he cruised to the right, received the pass from his teammate, and suddenly accelerated forward.
While attracting the opponent’s defensive focus to the right side of the rib space, pretending to cooperate with the right winger Raymond, he suddenly sent a secret outside foot oblique pass and passed the ball to the left!
Lingard, who was not guarded, took the ball and rushed into the penalty area, and directly pushed the ball into the near corner, helping England to expand the score again!
This wave of feinting to the east and attacking in the west made the English fans at the scene and on TV scream with excitement!
The strength gap between the two teams was not big originally.
However, with Ling Feng, a Premier League MVP-level player, England’s offense has improved qualitatively!
In the following time, England did not give Portugal any chance at all, and kept a firm grip on the ball, patiently looking for opportunities to attack.
It is worth mentioning that Ling Feng’s shouting on the field almost never stopped.
If his teammates were too slow, he would shout loudly to let them pass the ball faster;
If his teammates performed well in offense or defense, he would also praise them generously and shout “Well done”
With Ling Feng as a convincing backbone, the young lions played with ease.
If you don’t know what to do on the field, just pass the ball to Ling Feng!
In the first group match of the European Youth Championship, it was thanks to Ling Feng’s two passes and one shot that England easily defeated Portugal 4-1 and got off to a good start in this European Youth Championship!
It is worth mentioning that after the game, the camera on the scene captured the Portuguese full-back Guerrero crying with his face covered.
In this game, his right side was repeatedly ravaged by Ling Feng and Raymond, and all three goals were related to him.
Such a bad performance directly broke the defense of this future Portuguese backbone.
Seeing that Guerrero was actually abused by him and cried, Ling Feng could only silently mourn for him for three seconds in his heart.
In sports competition, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
It is so cruel!
This is why he dare not stop getting stronger.
He doesn’t want to lose!
The British media and fans are also very excited about this result.
Especially the dominance of the game shown by the young lions is simply eye-catching!
And this is just the beginning.
Three days later.
The second group match.
England, which is in a hot state, ushered in the challenge of the “Nordic Pirates” Sweden.
In this Swedish U21 team, there are basically no stars except the game wizard Guidetti and Lindelof who will transfer to Manchester United in the future.
However, the fighting power of this Swedish national youth team should not be underestimated.
The Nordic football style has always been very tough and focused on confrontation.
According to the original history, this Swedish national youth team fought through all the difficulties and reached the finals, and finally defeated Portugal beyond everyone’s expectations and won the championship of this European Youth Championship.
Unfortunately, they met Ling Feng, who should not have appeared in this world and this event!
Under the leadership of Ling Feng, England scored a goal each by Kane and Chick in the first half.
In the 60th minute of the game, Ling Feng’s corner kick accurately found Maguire in the penalty area.
The latter headed the ball and smashed it into the goal, expanding the score to 3-0!
Seeing that they were already leading 3-0, Southgate also replaced Ling Feng and Kane, the strongest offensive combination, to let the two take a break and accept the applause of the fans on the scene.
Although at the end of the game, the Swedes scored a goal with the melee in front of the goal.
However, there was no change in the result.
Two consecutive wins at the start of the game, seven goals scored, and only two goals conceded!
Under the leadership of Ling Feng, England U21 made great progress and secured a place in the group stage in advance.
And the offensive duo he formed with Kane was a perfect match and had a tacit understanding.
Kane scored three goals in two games, and he scored one goal and three assists in two games, both of which are strong contenders for the best scorer and assist king of this tournament!
. . .
While Ling Feng was frying fish in the Czech Republic, Mendes, who was far away in England, also brought him good news.
After Mendes’ initial negotiations with the club, the club was very willing to renew the contract with Ling Feng.
They certainly did not want to lose Ling Feng, the best product of the team’s youth training and the ball
The star player of the team.
For this, they are willing to pay any price for him!
In the first contract renewal negotiation, the club proposed to increase Ling Feng’s weekly salary from 70,000 to 100,000, and then increase the relevant bonus clauses such as assists and goals, reaching the FA Cup quarterfinals or the top few in the league.
Although the amount of 100,000 weekly salary is far from the psychological expectations of Mendes and Ling Feng.
However, both parties are full of confidence in the progress of the negotiations.
