Chapter 283
The game was a big success, but the game was a big success.
Chapter 283 Historic penalty! Part of a great story!
“Ling Feng fell in the penalty area!”
“Penalty!”
“This is definitely a penalty!”
“Could it be that, rather than Vardy breaking the record, we will witness Ling Feng’s first Premier League hat trick tonight?”
Even though West Bromwich Albion players came forward to surround the referee and gave him various explanations and complaints, the home team fans booed.
However, the referee of this game is not one of the four heroes of the Premier League, his eyes are sharp, and the foul is right under his nose.
This is definitely an undisputed penalty!
“Ling, are you okay?”
“No problem.”
Ling Feng, who was sitting on the ground, adjusted his socks, then took the hands of Mahrez and Vardy and stood up.
Then, when Vardy came to him with the ball and gave it to him, Ling Feng pushed the ball back:
“You take the penalty!”
Generally speaking, in an official match, if a player has scored twice.
Then, when the team gets a penalty kick, they will generally help the player take the penalty kick and let him complete a hat trick.
Even if the player is not the first penalty taker!
This is an unspoken rule that many clubs will tacitly accept.
Leicester City is no exception.
And in Leicester City, the first penalty taker is Vardy.
So, this is why Vardy picked up the ball in the first place and came to
However, when he saw Ling Feng push the ball back and let him take the penalty, he was still stunned.
“Isn’t this bad?”
“Man, there are opportunities to complete a hat trick in every game. However, the opportunity to break the record may only come once!”
“Besides, I have already said that I will help you!”
“Your task now is to score the ball steadily, break the record, and carve your name in the history of the Premier League!”
After hearing Ling Feng’s words, Vardy did not refuse, but hugged Ling Feng and whispered in his ear:
“Thanks, man. This means a lot to me.”
After that, he turned around and walked towards the penalty spot with the ball.
This scene also attracted the attention of all fans and spectators.
“Huh?! Ling Feng did not take the penalty, but gave the penalty to Vardy!”
“He would rather give up his first Premier League hat trick opportunity in his career, and help his teammates break the record.”
“This shows how great the team atmosphere of Leicester City is!”
Ranieri and others on the sidelines also smiled with relief when they saw this scene.
Originally, after seeing Ling Feng create a penalty, he thought about letting Ling Feng give the penalty to Vardy to break the record.
However, before he made this decision, Ling Feng seemed to have a tacit understanding with him and gave up the penalty first!
“This kid is too mature and selfless. He doesn’t look like a young player who is only 20 years old at all.”
Hearing Ranieri’s mumbling, assistant coach Walsh on the side also smiled:
“Claudio, I told you a long time ago that he will become a great player like Ronaldo and Messi! Because he is extremely strong and mature mentally, and very selfless”
Hearing Walsh compare Ling Feng with Rome, Ranieri looked at the black-haired young man wearing the number 7 of the Blue Fox on the field and nodded in agreement,
“You may be right.”
The visiting fans at the scene also gave Ling Feng and Vardy warm applause.
But soon, it was drowned out by even louder boos.
The home team fans made their voices heard, trying to defend the dignity of the Hawthorns Stadium and stop Vardy from breaking the record.
They certainly didn’t want their beloved team to become the background of Vardy’s record.
In the stands behind the goal, the home team fans made international friendly gestures and cursed:
“Asshole!”
“You are a fool!”
“You will never get in!”
At this moment, Vardy, standing in front of the ball, took a deep breath to ease the tension and excitement in his heart.
In his mind, the scenes along the way flashed quickly.
Working part-time in a factory, thinking about giving up football, and then playing in the Premier League from the fifth-level league.
This goal will leave him his own mark in the history of the Premier League.
traces of himself.
Then, let this goal say thank you to the past self who was unwilling to give up!
Thank you, Jamie!
If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be standing here!
Blocking the boos echoing in his ears, he made a decision in his heart, and his eyes suddenly became as sharp as a hawk.
Staring at the ball, and then taking a sudden step!
At the moment of shooting, Vardy did not choose to shoot, but chose to push the ball to the lower right corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Foster was completely fooled by his action and rushed to the left side of the goal.
As the ball went into the net, the whole Hawthorn Stadium was suddenly occupied by the cheers of the visiting fans!
“The ball went in!”
“No doubt about it!”
“Jamie Vardy, what an excellent striker! Scoring in eleven consecutive league games, breaking the league’s consecutive goal record held by former Manchester United player Ruud van Nistelrooy!”
When Vardy saw the ball go into the net, he immediately felt the pressure in his heart and released it instantly.
I broke the record? !
I am now the record holder for consecutive goals in the Premier League? !
Thinking of this, he smiled belatedly, turned around, raised his hands to his ears, and signaled that the boos and applause from the entire stadium should be more intense!
Seeing Vardy’s flamboyant appearance, Ling Feng also smiled brightly, and rushed forward with other teammates to congratulate him:
“Jamie, you did it!”
“Thank you, guys! Without you, I wouldn’t be here now”
Vardy broke the record, but Ling Feng felt proud of it.
He had long heard of the story of the Blue Fox miracle, the reputation of the “Blue Fox Fantasy Quartet”, and Vardy’s inspirational journey.
What made him most excited was that now, he had become a part of this great story!
Moreover, he became the author of this chapter that was talked about by fans in later generations!
In the future, whenever Vardy’s consecutive goal record is mentioned, fans will definitely remember that the goal that Vardy scored to complete this feat was the penalty he gave up!
As Vardy finally scored a goal and broke the record, the West Brom players also lost their fighting spirit.
At the command of the head coach, they began to give up defense and turned to crazy attack!
After all, this is at their home ground, and the villagers are watching. It’s too ugly to lose, and it’s hard to explain.
At least one goal must be scored!
Seeing this, Ranieri is also an old man, and immediately waved his hand, letting the team’s formation be properly recovered and playing a defensive counterattack.
They have already won three goals and helped Vardy break the record. It’s not necessary to score so many goals. His wife and children are watching. Football is not about fighting, but about human relationships. If they continue to attack, they will get angry and knock down several main players on the field, which will not be worth the loss. As Leicester City started, West Bromwich Albion was finally able to control the ball and launch some threatening attacks. They even pressed the Foxes in the half! It’s a pity that West Bromwich Albion’s striker Berahino was in poor condition and did not seize even one chance. When the game came to the 80th minute, West Bromwich Albion coach Pulis finally couldn’t stand it anymore and directly replaced Berahino with another striker Rondon. A few minutes later, Ranieri also replaced Vardy, who broke the record in this game, and let him accept the applause of the fans. This time, the home team fans did not boo or curse, but just looked at Vardy who walked off the field with envy.
Why didn’t their team have a Vardy, but a striker like Berahino.
. . .
In this way, with Ling Feng’s three goals, Leicester City took away a complete victory at the Hawthorns Stadium!
In addition to continuing the team’s unbeaten record, Vardy also completed the feat that everyone had been looking forward to before the game.
In this game, although Ling Feng directly created three goals, he was also the key figure in helping Vardy break the record.
But the protagonist of major media newspapers the next day was destined to break the league’s consecutive goal record held by Van Nistelrooy, the Foxes’ sharpest knife-Jamie Vardy!
“One of the greatest shooters of the Foxes!” – Leicester Mercury
“A natural shooter!” – The Times
“A late bloomer, a super striker!” – The Independent
Vardy scored in 11 consecutive games and topped the league’s scorer list with 13 goals!
Although this is the longest consecutive scoring streak since the Premier League was restructured.
But in the long run of the English top league
Historically, the record of 11 consecutive goals is only second, only tied with the miracle written by Stan Mortensen in Blackpool in the 1950-1951 season.
The highest record is the 12 consecutive goals set by Sheffield United player Jimmy Dunn in the 1931-1932 season.
Of course, these records are too old and have little reference value.
It is worth mentioning that this is the second time that Ranieri’s disciples have broken the league’s consecutive goals record.
When he coached the “Florence” Fiorentina, “God of War” Batistuta also scored in 11 consecutive games, setting a Serie A record that no one has broken so far!
As for the consecutive goals record in the top five European leagues, Vardy’s 11 consecutive goals tied with Batistuta for third place, and the second place was Gerd Muller’s 16 consecutive goals.
The first place is naturally Messi’s 21 consecutive La Liga goals for Barcelona in the 2012-13 season!
In addition to praising Vardy’s feat, many media also praised Ling Feng’s move to give up the penalty, believing that he is a very selfless and team-spirited player.
He is worthy of being the future leader of the Three Lions!
What surprised the media, expert commentators, and even all Premier League teams and fans the most was that Leicester City, which was thought to be only able to impact the European war zone before the season, actually had a terrifying record of ten wins and one draw in the first eleven rounds of the league!
Eleven rounds, 31 points, topped the list!
Such a start actually appeared in a small team that just returned to the Premier League last year.
This surprised everyone!
This season, after the Italian coach Ranieri came to the team, the team’s defensive system became more organized and the number of goals lost became less.
And the team’s offensive firepower is as fierce as ever!
Although the average ball possession rate and number of shots per game have dropped significantly, the quality of the offense has improved a lot.
Every counterattack, like the wind, killed the opponent’s goal in a blink of an eye.
In 11 rounds, they scored an amazing 32 goals and conceded only 10 goals!
The number of goals scored ranks first in the league, and the number of goals conceded is second only to Manchester City.
The data will not lie, which can fully prove how outstanding Leicester City is in both offense and defense this season!
As the leader of this Blue Fox, the Italian coach Ranieri, who was not optimistic before the start of the season, has received more praise and
Although the start schedule is favorable, there are not too many strong teams.
However, when facing strong teams such as Tottenham and Arsenal, Leicester City also showed outstanding performance and defeated the opponent.
This is enough to prove the level of this old coach.
However, whenever the media reporters wanted to get some explosive things out of the coach of the team at the top of the league, they always got the same words that were almost callused to their ears:
“I am very happy with the team’s performance, which shows that we are on the right track.”
“We are still nine points away from completing the task of relegation!”
“After relegation, we will talk about other things.”
Relegation!
They have already secured the top spot in the league!
Faced with such a veteran who has seen the world, the British media, who have always been fearless, have been repeatedly defeated.
In desperation, they can only point their spearheads at the players in the team and try to make some big news.
And Ling Feng, as the star player, gave them a little surprise.
A week later, in the twelfth round of the league, in the home game against the newly promoted Watford, Leicester City continued to fire at full power and avenged the one-shot loss in the promotion play-offs with a score of 4-0.
It also allowed Watford to feel the strength of the Premier League after eight years.
During the game, Ling Feng scored twice in two consecutive games.
After the game, the Fox No. 7, who was elected the best player of the game, changed his previous humility and low-key in an interview with Sky Sports:
“I think we are a very competitive team. As long as I am in this team, I feel that I can do anything!”
“I think we are definitely capable of going further!”
“Do you mean you think you can compete for the championship? Or do you have the confidence to lead the Foxes to join the championship?”
Facing the “trap” of the reporter, Ling Feng did not deny or admit it, but smiled slightly:
“The league has just started, we still have to stay focused and play every game seriously. However, the charm of football is that everything is possible. Isn’t it?”
Although it was not said explicitly.
However, Ling Feng’s words made people feel his strong self-confidence.
And he has the confidence to say so.
Because, in the Premier League
After 12 rounds of matches, the team that topped the league standings was none other than his “Foxes” Leicester City!
