N-A-A Chapter 270
Chapter 270
The game was a big success, and the team was in a state of panic.
Chapter 270 Relegation? I don’t believe you!
“The game is over!”
“Leicester City defeated the visiting Tottenham at home and won three consecutive games at the start of this season!”
“In this game, Ling Feng contributed two assists and one goal, continuing his great influence in the game…”
“In his second Premier League season, this highly anticipated British hope once again put in an amazing performance”
“He has already made six assists in three games. God knows what number of assists he will reach this season.”
After celebrating with his teammates, Ling Feng took the initiative to find Kane, a frustrated national team teammate, and deliberately said to him He joked:
“Hey, Harry, the transfer window is not over yet, you still have time to join us now!”
Hearing this, Kane couldn’t help but smile bitterly, and could only weakly refute:
“Don’t be too proud, when you get to White Hart Lane, you will know how powerful we are!”
“Haha, let’s wait and see.”
After that, Ling Feng also came to Ali, who made his Premier League debut and first goal, and stretched out his hand to him:
“Hey, man, congratulations on your Premier League debut!”
Facing Ling Feng’s active goodwill, although Ali was unwilling in his heart, he was not a fool without any sense.
After all, the black-haired young man standing in front of him is the absolute core of the Three Lions and the Premier League’s single-season assist king!
No matter in terms of status in football or national team qualifications, they are his predecessors.
Moreover, he had to admit that Ling Feng was indeed much stronger than himself!
In football, the strong are certainly worthy of respect.
As his thoughts turned, he also reached out his hand and shook hands with Ling Feng.
“Thank you.”
“I like your behavior after scoring the goal. I can see that you really want to win, and I respect that.”
After a few simple polite words, Ling Feng turned and left, leaving Ali standing there, staring at his back
The next day, many media reported on the game.
They didn’t expect that Leicester City actually defeated Tottenham, and it didn’t seem to take much effort.
And the three consecutive wins at the start are definitely the best Premier League start record in Leicester City’s history!
However, in the post-match press conference, when asked by reporters about his goals for the season, Ranieri simply pushed his reading glasses and smiled amiably:
“I answered this question before the league started. Our goal is to stay in the league and get 40 points.”
“But you have already got nine points! And it only took three games!”
“I am very satisfied with the team’s performance, which means we have taken a very solid step towards staying in the league!”
This remark once again made everyone present curl their lips in their hearts.
Stay in the league?
I don’t believe you!
You old man are very bad!
When faced with questions about Ling Feng’s hot form, Ranieri was also generous in his praise:
“Every time I see him, I am grateful to God for giving me this opportunity. It is my luck to coach a talented player like Ling Feng.”
“In my opinion, he is definitely the best young player in the entire Premier League and the most valuable asset of the club!”
“However, every victory in a game is a victory for the team. Whether it is Ling Feng, Vardy, Morgan, or Simpson, all players have given 100% effort on the field. They all deserve praise and applause.”
“And this game, especially N’Golo’s performance, impressed me. I think he is a very good player!”
“I am very grateful to Mr. Walsh for bringing him to the team and repeating his name in my ears every day”
These words also caused a burst of laughter from the reporters on the scene.
In this game, Kante’s performance in the midfield was absolutely dominant.
Whether it is the Danish genius commander Eriksen, the Belgian metronome Dembele, or the dribbling maniac Lamela and the Belgian winger Chadli, once they enter Kante’s defense zone, they cannot play their original strength.
In this game, if Ling Feng is the key to the Blue Foxes’ victory, then Kante is the lock that keeps Tottenham out of the victory!
The outstanding performance against Tottenham made the head coach and teammates see the huge energy contained in Kante’s body.
The coaching staff headed by Ranieri
He also realized that Kante was more suitable for the team’s tactical system than Inler.
So, in the training after returning from vacation, Kante replaced Inler, put on the orange vest representing the main force, and formed a starting midfielder partner with Brother Drinking Water.
Looking at the combination of Kante and Brother Drinking Water, Ranieri, who was standing on the sidelines, turned his head and said to Walsh, the assistant coach and scout director beside him:
“You are right, N’Golo may be our answer!”
And Walsh, who personally brought Kante to England, showed a smug smile.
Looking at Kante’s eyes, it was like looking at a peerless gem that had not been polished and carved, both happy and appreciative.
For a scout, the most exciting thing is to dig out potential little demons and let them show their dazzling light on the field!
And in his opinion, Kante will also become the strongest shield of the Blue Fox in the midfield like Essien of the Blues!
. . .
A few days later, the draw ceremony for this season’s Europa League was held at the FIFA headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland.
According to the European points in the past five years, Leicester City, which only returned to the European war last year, was classified as a third-tier team.
Champions League regulars, the two Ruhr-area giants Schalke 04 and Dortmund in the Bundesliga are currently the two teams with the highest points in the top 48 of the Europa League. Basel, Naples, Tottenham, Ajax, Marseille, etc. are all in the first tier and will become the seeded teams of each group.
The second tier team also includes Fiorentina and Lazio, two Serie A giants that reached the quarterfinals last season.
However, compared with last year, this year’s Europa League has fewer strong teams.
In the end, Leicester City was drawn into Group B with Russian Super League team Rubin Kazan, Czech giants Viktoria Plzen, and Swiss Cup champion Sion.
For Leicester City, this is definitely a good draw!
These three opponents are relatively average in strength. Qualifying from the group is simply a sure thing!
This season, Ling Feng’s goal is not only to win the Premier League title, but also the Europa League title.
If he can help the Foxes win the first European title in the team’s history, then he will be able to leave this old club that has nurtured him with satisfaction and move to a bigger stage!
The opponents in the group stage are relatively weak, so the team can rotate more calmly to cope with the relatively tight schedule.
This is also good news for whether the team can go further in the Europa League.
Among these teams, in addition to Naples, which defeated them last season, perhaps only two or three teams such as Dortmund and Villarreal can stop him and Leicester City from winning the championship.
Of course, if Sevilla still cannot qualify from the Champions League group this season and then falls to the Europa League, Leicester City’s biggest title opponent will still be Sevilla led by the “King of the Europa League” Emery!
For this reason, Ling Feng also went to see Sevilla’s Champions League group.
When he saw that Sevilla was divided into the “death group” where Manchester City, Juventus and Monchengladbach were, he just quietly added Sevilla’s name to the list of opponents for the Europa League.
The reason is simple. Juventus and Manchester City will definitely qualify from the group. Sevilla is much stronger than Monchengladbach, and basically locked in a third place in the group in advance.
This is also Sevilla’s strategic approach to competing for the Champions League quota in the past two years.
Go to the Champions League to play first, then come to the Europa League to kill and win the championship, and ensure that you can make money in the Champions League next year!
Wait until the day when Sevilla can qualify from the Champions League group, that will be news
After the Europa League draw results are released, the odds of winning the championship of major gambling institutions are also announced:
The Bundesliga Hornet Dortmund and Naples, which reached the semi-finals last season, have the highest odds of winning the championship.
The second is Tottenham and Leicester City, two Premier League teams.
Last season, Leicester City, which played in the Europa League for the first time, made it to the quarterfinals of the Europa League for the first time, showing an impressive offensive firepower.
This season, Leicester City is the only team in the Premier League to win three consecutive games with Manchester City. The hot state of Leicester City cannot be ignored.
Coupled with the more mature and tacit Blue Fox Three Musketeers, and the targeted reinforcements in the summer window, no one would think that the Blue Fox is a team that can be easily defeated!
The fourth round of the league.
Leicester City came to Bournemouth, a famous seaside city in southwest England, and faced this season’s newly promoted “Cherry Army” Bournemouth on a sunny afternoon.
Last season, they won the Championship and were promoted to the Premier League.
This is also the first time Bournemouth has played in the Premier League since its establishment 116 years ago!
And the leader of this team is the youngest coach in the English professional league
Training, the talented young coach Eddie Howe.
They lost the first two games of the Premier League by one goal.
Although they lost the game, the media and fans were still very satisfied with the team’s defense.
After all, this is not the Championship, but the Premier League.
In the last round of away game against West Ham United, Bournemouth finally won the first Premier League victory in team history!
It’s a pity that they played against the Foxes in this game.
Because they had already rotated the full substitute lineup in the League Cup victory over the English League Two team Bury a few days ago.
In addition, after this league game, there will be an international match day lasting more than ten days.
Therefore, Leicester City, who played away, still put out the strongest lineup except Huth’s rest and Maguire’s start.
In this game, perhaps at home, Bournemouth did not focus on defensive counterattacks like the previous two games, but took the initiative to attack.
And this decision made Bournemouth see what the strength of the Premier League is!
As Bournemouth pressed forward, Leicester City got more counterattack opportunities.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Ling Feng sent a through ball from the top of the center circle, and Vardy rushed into the penalty area, then was tripped by the defender and created a penalty.
Vardy made it in one fell swoop and took the lead.
Ten minutes later, Mahrez played a wall match with Ling Feng on the right, dribbled the ball horizontally on the penalty area line, passed two people, and made a beautiful arc and went straight to the far corner of the goal.
2-0!
Losing two goals in the first half did not make the home team fans feel, but they still sang the team song in the stands to cheer for the players.
In the second half, Bournemouth did not retreat, but attacked more fiercely!
For them, losing two and losing three are both losses.
Losing the game doesn’t matter. The main thing is to show momentum at home and let other Premier League teams and fans see their determination to stay in the Premier League!
And such
In the 56th minute, Ling Feng’s corner kick created Bournemouth in the chaos, and Ling Feng’s shot caused an own goal by the opponent’s players.
The score then came to 0-3!
Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Ranieri also made substitutions at the 65th minute.
However, just as Ranieri replaced Ling Feng and Vardy, Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson scored a beautiful long shot outside the penalty area.
The Cherry Army, who scored a goal, attacked with all their strength at the command of young coach Eddie Howe!
However, this season, the Blue Foxes’ defense has improved a lot after the new coach Ranieri introduced the Italian defensive concept and strengthened the defensive hardness of the midfielder.
In the end, with the unity of everyone, Bournemouth continued to score goals and successfully retreated from Dean Court Stadium.
After defeating the newly promoted Bournemouth, Leicester City surpassed Manchester City, which also won four consecutive games, with a goal difference advantage and continued to top the league standings!
Just when everyone was surprised by the explosive state of the Blue Foxes at the start of this season, the busy summer transfer window unknowingly entered the final stage.
It is often at the last moment of the transfer window that some big deals that are enough to shock the football world will happen:
For example, after a long negotiation and wrangling, Manchester City finally announced the signing of Kevin De Bruyne, the popular European midfielder and German Footballer of the Year, from Wolfsburg!
The transfer fee is 55 million pounds!
At this price, De Bruyne and Di Maria, who joined Manchester United last year, became the record holders of the Premier League transfer fee!
Some people are optimistic about this deal, while others are not.
However, only Manchester City Club and Ling Feng know that this deal is absolutely worth the money!
With the arrival of De Bruyne, Manchester City’s transfer expenditure in this summer window has reached an astonishing 150 million pounds!
Seeing Manchester City sign De Bruyne, Manchester United, the city’s arch-rival, finally couldn’t hold back and confirmed in advance that Monaco’s talented teenager Anthony Martial has already joined and will soon complete the physical examination and signing.
It is said that Martial’s transfer fee will be 36 million pounds, which will definitely break the world U20 player transfer fee record held by Luke Shaw.
In addition to the two Manchester United giants who held back a big one at the end of the transfer window, Tottenham also brought in the current Asian No. 1 Son Heung-min from Leverkusen in the last few days.
So far, the Tottenham “Fantastic Four” familiar to Ling Feng has officially taken shape!
As for Leicester City, after observing five games, Ranieri felt that the team still lacked depth in terms of wingers.
So the team once again used the loan method to loan the abandoned wing fast horse from Swansea
Nathan Dyer, let him serve as the team’s left winger substitute, adding a rotation player in the frontcourt.
And this is also the last deal of the Blue Fox in the summer transfer window.
