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

Chapter 307

The first match between Leicester City and Everton was a big one.

Chapter 307 Oh no, Ling Feng is warming up!

“Finals, here we come!”

This was the headline of the front page of Leicester City’s local newspaper, The Leicester Mercury, on the eve of the second leg of the 2015-16 English League Cup semi-finals.

The cover was a still photo of the Blue Foxes coming to the sidelines and hugging Ranieri after scoring in the first leg.

In the first leg of Leicester City and Everton, the Blue Foxes unexpectedly used their main lineup and beat Everton 0-2 away.

In the second leg back at the King Power Stadium, the Blue Foxes, who had the advantage of home court and score, chose to rest the Blue Foxes’ three musketeers to prepare for the next big game against Liverpool.

In Ranieri’s view, with the team’s mature defensive counterattack tactical system, coupled with the home field, even if the opponent is not weak, they can still win.

And most people also believe that Leicester City can resist Everton’s counterattack at home, and thus reach the League Cup final for the first time in team history!

However, the direction of the game was beyond everyone’s expectations!

Compared with the main lineup that killed in the Premier League, the substitute strength of the Blue Fox is still average.

Especially without the core players as the backbone on the field, the team’s tactical system cannot be fully utilized.

On the contrary, Everton’s game can be said to be a do-or-die battle.

If they can’t win more than three goals, they will miss the opportunity to reach the cup final after many years.

As one rises and the other falls, Everton players burst out with amazing fighting spirit and energy.

Moreover, under the situation of continuous decline in defensive performance this season, the team’s tactical concept of giving up defense and going all out to attack has unexpectedly played out the team’s not weak offensive firepower.

You know, Everton has a lot of good offensive players.

Local genius Ross Barkley, Belgian international Mirallas, Barcelona’s German emperor Deulofeu, former Tottenham winger Lennon, and the star player “Little Monster” Lukaku.

If they really want to attack with all their strength, the Blue Fox substitute lineup can’t resist it.

In this game, this Belgian striker who was once abandoned by Chelsea finally broke out!

Whether it is taking the ball with his back or breaking through the wing, his figure can be seen everywhere in the frontcourt.

He seemed to have really invited a real monster to possess him, turning Leicester City’s backcourt upside down.

And such active running soon paid off:

At the 22nd minute of the first half, he received the ball on the right side of the frontcourt and turned around, then a Belgian soup, broke into the penalty area, carried the Polish central defender Walewski, and shot into the goal!

“The ball goes in!”

“Everton scored a goal away from home!”

“The goal was scored by the Belgian genius Romelu Lukaku!”

“The Toffees No. 10 was very active from the first minute of the game. His running and holding the ball in the front court were full of threats.”

“Could it be that we will witness a reversal?!”

Under the slightly excited narration of the commentator, Lukaku, who scored the goal, rushed directly to the corner flag area, opened his arms, and accepted the cheers of the fans.

The dark young face couldn’t help but reveal a confident smile:

“The top team in the Premier League? In front of my Belgian Inzaghi, it’s nothing!”

He seemed to have completely forgotten that Ling Feng had beaten him 2-0 in the first round.

However, although the team’s record this season is not good, the defense is vulnerable.

However, as the sharpest counterattack in the team’s offensive system, Lukaku has ushered in a data explosion this season:

Not only has he scored 16 goals in the league, ranking second in the scorer list after Vardy, he has also become one of the only five players in the history of the Premier League who have scored 50 Premier League goals before the age of 23.

The other four players are Fowler, Owen, Rooney, and Ronaldo!

In the League Cup, he also scored five goals and helped the team reach the League Cup semi-finals.

Such an outstanding performance has also attracted the attention of many giants.

However, given the experience of joining a giant last time, the 22-year-old little monster does not intend to leave Everton so soon.

Looking at Lukaku with an excited face, Ling Feng, who was sitting on the bench, couldn’t help but mutter in his heart:

“This guy, this game is a bit good”

Everton, who recovered a goal, was more motivated and realized that they might equalize the score or even overtake, and attacked more vigorously.

Leicester City could only retreat to half the field and try their best

Compress the space as much as possible and try to kill the game with a counterattack.

However, neither Andy King nor Inler belong to the kind of midfielder who can create opportunities or dribble forward to launch a counterattack.

In the few counterattack opportunities, they can only pass the ball to the side at the first time, dribble through the wingers, and then pass the ball directly to Ulloa and Okazaki Shinji in the middle.

Such a routine is too obvious.

This also leads to a huge difference in the quality of counterattacks compared to when Ling Feng was on the field!

Fortunately, the team’s defense is still good.

Under Everton’s bombardment, they still survived the first half.

During the halftime break, Ranieri briefly thought about substitutions, but after thinking about it, he finally didn’t do it.

He still hopes to let the substitute lineup play as much as possible to find a better game state.

With the team’s huge lead in the league, the main players of the team headed by Ling Feng will definitely focus on the Europa League and strive to go further in the Europa League.

And the substitute lineup will get more playing time in the league.

Whether they can keep pace with each other and maintain their lead until the end under the consumption of the Premier League and the Europa League, the state of the substitute lineup is very critical.

Of course, considering that the situation was completely suppressed, Ranieri still kept a hand after discussing with his assistants:

If the team is still suppressed by the opponent in the 70th minute of the game, Ling Feng should be replaced to stabilize the situation!

However, the situation on the field did not change at all after the second half.

Everton still pressed Leicester City and rubbed it crazily!

Looking at the substitute lineup that was messed up by Everton’s main players on the field, the Blue Fox fans in the stands were also terrified.

At the same time, they also realized that the depth of the team’s lineup is still far from the real Premier League giants.

Even if they are now overpowering the BIG6 teams and firmly at the top of the league standings

As the saying goes, long defense will lead to loss.

Under Everton’s fierce attack, Leicester City’s defensive formation was eventually broken:

And the hero of the goal was Lukaku, who was in great form in this game!

In the 68th minute of the game, Lukaku, who was on the side, made an unreasonable move on the wing, passed the full-back, and sent a reverse triangle pass.

Ross Barkley, who came in from behind, shot the ball in front of the penalty area and sent the ball into the gate guarded by Schwarzer!

After scoring the goal, Barkley rushed directly to the corner flag area and slid on his knees excitedly.

And Lukaku, who assisted, also rushed to his side and hugged him tightly.

The away fans who followed the team to the battle were already cheering in the stands at this time.

And the home team fans showed a helpless expression.

This game once again proved a fact.

That is: there are no weak teams in the Premier League!

What’s more, Everton, the “Toffees”, has been a powerful team in the Premier League that cannot be ignored in the past decade!

“Wow!”

“Rose~~~Barkley! What a beautiful goal!”

“Everton tied the total score at the King Power Stadium!”

“If this score is maintained until the final whistle, the two sides will enter overtime.”

“However, judging from the state of Everton’s players, they are definitely not satisfied with a draw”

When Everton tied the total score away from home, the camera on the scene first focused on the Everton players who rushed to the away team’s stands to celebrate wildly.

Then, the camera was also given to Everton coach Martinez on the sidelines.

However, in the last second, Martinez was still clapping with a smile on his face.

And in the next second, he turned his head as if he saw something, but suddenly stopped his hand movements, frowned, and his expression suddenly became serious.

“Hmm? Why does Martinez look dissatisfied? Or does he think it’s not time to celebrate since it’s just a tie?”

At this time, the live director, who was reminded, turned the camera directly to the home team’s bench not far away.

I saw the Blue Fox coach Ranieri coming to the bench and pointing fingers at the players on the bench.

Then, Ling Feng, who was sitting on the bench, took off his coat and stood up from the bench.

The next second, the whole King Power Stadium erupted in deafening cheers, which overwhelmed the decibels of Everton fans.

The live camera was aimed at Ling Feng who came to the sidelines to warm up, and then at Martinez with a frown.

The language of the camera is self-evident.

Until this time, all the fans and fans in front of the TV suddenly understood.

Why Martinez’s face was so pale after his team scored a goal to tie the score

Why is it so ugly?

It turned out that he saw Ling Feng warming up!

“Oh!

“Ling Feng started warming up! The Foxes finally reacted and prepared to use their ultimate weapon!”

While letting Ling Feng warm up, Ranieri also called the captain Andy King to the sidelines and told him:

“Let Okazaki and Ulloa return to the midfield to help defend, and everyone run! ”

When the Everton players saw Ling Feng warming up on the sidelines, they were also nervous, and they couldn’t help but recall the two encounters this season, when Ling Feng ravaged them.

So, it seemed that in order to score another goal before Ling Feng came on the court and establish a leading advantage, Everton continued to attack like crazy after scoring.

Fortunately, the Foxes, who received instructions from the head coach, all retreated to the half court and defended comprehensively.

Five minutes later, Leicester City kicked the ball out of the sideline and finally got a chance to make a substitution!

Seeing Ling Feng standing on the sidelines, the King Power Stadium suddenly rang with warm cheers and applause.

The fans also spontaneously shouted his name:

“Ling Feng! Ling Feng! Ling Feng! ”

In their eyes, the black youth wearing the No. 7 jersey is the savior of the team!

Many Fox fans who witnessed Ling Feng couldn’t help but recall Ling Feng

However, at that time, Ling Feng wore No. 23 and was a young player who had just been promoted from the youth team.

And now Ling Feng, wearing No. 7, is already the biggest favorite for the Premier League MVP!

They firmly believe that as long as Ling Feng appears on the field, everything will be fine!

“Leicester City makes a substitution adjustment! No. 23 Ulloa is replaced by No. 7 Ling Feng! ”

Ling Feng’s appearance also had an immediate effect on Leicester City’s offensive changes!

Whether they were in possession of the ball or in counterattacks, they had someone to pass the ball to with confidence.

And Ling Feng firmly controlled the rhythm of the field on the Blue Fox side through his active running to get the ball and pass the ball.

After helping the team stabilize the situation, Ling Feng began to use his personal ability to create threats to Everton’s backcourt!

In the 75th minute of the game, Ling Feng received the ball on the side, and then, in the same way as Lukaku in the first half, he passed Everton’s left back Baines and sent an inverted triangle pass.

Andy King, who came in from behind, shot the ball!

Fortunately, Howard, the US national goalkeeper, reacted quickly and made a wonderful dive to score the goal. Blocked out of the baseline.

In the 82nd minute of the game, after Ling Feng retreated to receive the ball in the midfield, he passed Barkley and Barry who were trying to steal the ball, and completed a long shot that was slightly higher than the crossbar!

In the 85th minute of the game, after Ling Feng got rid of the ball in the middle, he sent a precise through pass.

Unfortunately, the young left winger Gray shot too hard and hit the ball directly into the stands, missing the opportunity to become famous.

As Ling Feng created killing opportunities in the frontcourt one after another, he single-handedly suppressed Everton’s surging offensive. Everton’s players did not dare to press forward to attack, but began to shrink their defense.

And countless fans in front of the TV thought that just Ling Feng’s appearance instantly reversed the offensive and defensive balance on the field!

This is the role of superstars ? !

And Everton’s players suddenly began to think that it would be good if the score remained the same until the end of the game and then entered overtime.

Even if it was dragged into a penalty shootout, their chances of advancing to the final would not be small.

After all, no matter how good Ling Feng is, he can only shoot one penalty.

And they have an advantage in the penalty shootout with their main lineup.

However, Ling Feng did not intend to drag the victory or defeat to overtime, or even a penalty shootout that depends more on luck.

You know, Ranieri replaced him to let him end the game!

As the fourth official on the sidelines took out the substitution card and indicated that there were three minutes of extra time, it meant that the game had entered the final extra time.

At this moment, Ling Feng pushed through the midfield and was stopped by the back McCarthy was knocked down by midfielder, winning a free kick opportunity for the team.

This free kick was about 38 meters away from the goal.

It was just within Ling Feng’s best shooting range!

Ling Feng stood in front of the ball and saw the wall of people blocking the near corner.

He glanced at Howard’s position slightly closer to the near corner, and knew that the opponent was defending his shot around the wall of people, and then directly hung into the goal behind him.

In this case, let me show you the power of 99 shooting power!

Run-up, shoot!

With a “bang”, a lightning-like thunder was drawn in the air of the King Power Stadium, shooting straight to the goal!

A long shot with a shooting power of 99 can be described in one word: fast!

Especially when there is no need to consider whether it will hurt someone, the ball

Faster!

Ling Feng’s shooting choice was beyond everyone’s expectations.

Including Everton goalkeeper Howard!

“Where did you say you would go around the wall?!”

When he realized this, it was too late.

Even if he moved to the right and made a flying side dive, he couldn’t stop the ball from turning into an elusive afterimage and hitting the upper right corner of the goal!
