N-A-A Chapter 269
Chapter 269
The key is to win the game.
Chapter 269 If you don’t work hard, talent will be useless!
With Kante’s ruthless sweep in the midfield, Eriksen was tightly guarded, and Tottenham’s central attack hit the rocks, so they could only choose to attack the wing more.
But since Lennon and Bale, Tottenham’s wingers have actually lost their speed a long time ago.
Whether it is Chadli or Lamela, they are both introverted wingers with good footwork but no absolute speed.
Facing Simpson and Fuchs, two experienced defensive full-backs, it is not so easy.
Fortunately, Tottenham’s two full-backs are fast enough!
Therefore, the offensive routine of the two wingers is mainly to take the ball and cut in, leaving the wing space for the full-backs behind them.
However, this slightly single offensive routine hit the Blue Fox’s defensive strategy.
The full-back frequently assists, and the space behind him is even larger.
The repeated side attacks were fruitless, but gave Leicester City a chance to counterattack!
In the first half stoppage time, the Blue Fox once again showed its sharp fangs!
With the left-back Rose making a mistake in the cross pass after the left-winger, Kante intercepted it again, and the Blue Fox launched a quick counterattack again.
Kante passed the ball to the water brother not far away. The latter looked up and observed the running position of his teammates in the frontcourt, and directly made a long pass to Mahrez on the right.
Even though Rose was chasing back frantically behind him, Mahrez still dribbled the ball along the right and quickly advanced to the right side of the frontcourt.
At the same time, Vardy in the middle ran diagonally to the left, attracting Tottenham center back Alderweireld to move horizontally, slightly widening the distance from another center back.
Ling Feng, who was running at high speed, got a one-on-one chance with another Tottenham center back Vertonghen.
As Mahrez’s low ball hit the middle, Ling Feng rushed to meet the ball, and before Vertonghen stretched out his legs to block it, he stretched out his foot and lightly kicked it, and then he rushed into the penalty area!
“Stop and pass! Master-level handling!”
“Single-handed!”
Facing Lori, who was bending over and opening his arms in front of the goal, like a Gallic goose, Ling Feng smiled contemptuously and swung his legs to push the ball into the far corner.
Lori also made a subconscious judgment and moved a step to the right to try to block the shot.
However, what he never expected was that Ling Feng’s shot was actually a fake move!
After a pause, Ling Feng tricked Lori into moving ahead, and then he pushed the outside of his foot, kicked the left supporting foot hard, and rushed out.
This time, he passed the unbalanced Lori.
This scene made many Fox fans raise their arms in advance and celebrate the goal!
After a gentle push, Ling Feng confirmed that the ball rolled into the empty goal, and then he turned around like an ancient knight who killed people without leaving any traces.
Then, he ran to the main stand, paused, opened his arms, and made his own celebration!
“What a perfect fake move! What a perfect pass! What a perfect goal!!!”
For this goal, the commentator repeated the word “perfect” three times in a row.
“This goal gave the Foxes a two-goal lead in the first half!”
“By the way, Ling Feng’s celebration has become one of the coolest celebrations in the Premier League!”
At the same time
Looking at the Fox No. 7 standing in front of the main stand with his head held high and arms open, accepting the fans’ worship like a king, Dele Alli, Winks and other Tottenham youngsters sitting on the bench of the visiting team were immediately overwhelmed.
If they had read “Historical Records”, they might have sighed in their hearts:
A real man should be like this!
Especially Ali, pursing his lips tightly, his eyes full of envy and jealousy.
This black-haired young man, who was only one year older than himself, was able to dominate the direction of the game in the Premier League and enjoy the cheers and applause of thousands of fans.
He also broke various records and became the Premier League’s single-season assist king, as well as the proud son of the British Empire and the absolute core of the Three Lions.
Even in everyone’s eyes, he is still a strong contender for the best in the Premier League!
In comparison, he has not yet stepped onto the Premier League stage at the age of 19, which is a world of difference.
However, although the arrogant Ali envied Ling Feng’s wonderful experience. However, he did not think that he was worse than Ling Feng in his heart.
Perhaps now
At this stage, he is indeed not as good as Ling Feng, but he is confident that he can catch up with Ling Feng.
Since Ling Feng can let the Premier League see his dazzling brilliance at the age of 19, he can do it too.
Just one opportunity for him to show his talent in front of the world!
And this opportunity will come soon!
As the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, the visiting players returned to the locker room with frustration.
“Guys, I am not satisfied with your performance on the field. We must do better!”
“In the second half, we must be more resolute.”
Due to Kante’s defense in the middle, Eriksson was basically forced by Pochettino to continue to strengthen the attack on the wing, allowing Eriksson to switch positions with Chadli on the left more often, and move to the wing to organize and pass.
Then let Lamela on the right increase the frequency of inbound shots.
Finally, he did not forget to remind Kane, who had little chance in the first half, to retreat more to get the ball and play some wall cooperation with his teammates.
Although these tactical changes have made Tottenham’s frontcourt offensive routines more layered,
However, they met Kante, the “future world’s No. 1 defensive midfielder” who made his first Premier League start!
Kante was very grateful to Ranieri for the opportunity he had given him.
He was determined to repay his coach with his performance on the field!
So, he was like a robot that would never stop stealing. Wherever there was a ball, there would be his figure.
His range of activities was not limited to the middle, but the sidelines on the left and right sides had traces of his efforts to fight for the ball!
In this game, this dark dwarf let everyone see
Even many Blue Fox fans who understand football have begun to play memes online:
“Wearing a blue jersey, a French black defensive midfielder, who is very obsessed with stealing, guess a player?”
“Makelele: Yes, it is. Kante: I am!”
“Makelele of the Blue Fox!”
When the game came to the 60th minute, seeing Lamela on the field being intercepted by Kante again because of too much dribbling, Pochettino could no longer bear it!
It’s time to try something bold!
He turned around and looked at the players on the bench, his eyes just meeting Ali in the air:
“Dele! Warm up!”
Hearing this, Ali was stunned for a moment, then poked by Winks next to him, and then he suddenly jumped up:
“Yes, coach!”
Warming up with Ali was the team’s real midfield core, Moussa Dembele!
A few minutes later, taking advantage of a dead ball, Pochettino replaced Lamela with Ali, and Dembele replaced Bentaleb.
The camera was also aimed at Dele Ali, who was about to make his Tottenham and Premier League debut.
“Dele Alli, the 19-year-old rising midfielder, made his professional debut at the age of 16.”
“He was bought by Tottenham for a transfer fee of 5 million pounds in the winter window of last season. In the second half of the season, he continued to be loaned back to the English League One team Milton Keynes.”
“It was not until the end of May this year that he officially joined Tottenham.”
“This young man has excellent off-ball running and back-insertion abilities, and his physical athletic talent is also visible to the naked eye. Especially his shooting skills, he is absolutely outstanding in the midfield.”
“However, he still needs to learn from his senior Eriksson in the team in terms of passing and vision.”
“In time, he may become the backbone of the Three Lions!”
“We need to give every young man with potential some time and patience.”
“After all, not every 19-year-old is a super genius like Rooney, Owen and Ling Feng.”
Under the introduction of the commentator, Ali also high-fived Lamela and then stepped onto the Premier League stage for the first time!
After coming on the field, Ali replaced Bentaleb and formed a double defensive midfielder with Dell. Dembele was pushed to the front midfielder position, and the original front midfielder Eriksen was temporarily moved to the right.
Seeing Ali come on as a substitute, Ling Feng’s heart could not help but ripple.
His impression of Ali can only be said to be average.
There is even a kind of regret that he hates iron but not steel.
Strictly speaking, Ali is a typical example of many people who destroy themselves.
The family background, character defects, and psychological problems made this British star who was once praised by the media begin to indulge himself in the rising period of his career and no longer focus on football.
He wasted his time and talent in vain, from a rich man worth 100 million euros to a Tottenham player with no ball to play, and finally became another famous Zhongyong in football.
Seeing the young and energetic Ali at this moment, Ling Feng recalled
A classic quote from Luo Ge at an awards ceremony:
When the host asked Ronaldo, “What is the biggest secret of his success?” Ronaldo thought for a moment before answering:
“Talent is useless without hard work!”
. . .
As time went by, the Tottenham youth team pressed forward under the big hand of young coach Pochettino.
Even the central defender pressed to the top of the arc in the center circle.
With the appearance of Dembele, Tottenham’s offense suddenly became more rhythmic.
Although he was pushed to the front midfielder position, Dembele’s habit was to retreat to receive the ball and then organize the side.
And Ali happened to be a player with a strong desire to attack. While playing, he couldn’t help but move forward and then pass and cooperate with several people in the frontcourt.
So, when Dembele retreated, Ali would join in the attack, thus forming a position change.
For this change in the middle of Tottenham, the Blue Foxes were obviously not prepared enough.
In the 75th minute of the game, Tottenham finally got the best chance of the game:
Dembele suddenly made a straight pass, passing between Kante and Drinking Water Brother, and came to the feet of the retreating Kane.
The latter leaned hard on Morgan with his back, then observed the running position of his teammates, and suddenly turned into a turret and knocked the ball horizontally.
Ali, who then inserted, poked the ball before Huth stretched his legs to intercept the ball, and then accelerated into the penalty area.
Facing Schmeichel, he shot directly with his right foot and sent the ball into the far corner.
“Dele~~~ Ali!”
“Wow!”
“This young man scored his first Premier League goal in his Premier League debut!”
“Such a debut is definitely worth remembering for Dele Ali, who is only 19 years old!”
“Remember, Tottenham is not only Harry Kane, but also Dele Ali!”
However, after scoring the goal, Ali did not celebrate passionately, but immediately rushed into the goal, picked up the ball and ran back.
This scene caused the visiting Spurs fans to burst into amazing cheers and applause.
Many Spurs fans immediately had a better impression of this young man who had just joined!
Ling Feng also raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart:
Great!
Ali hasn’t started to play badly yet!
He still has a desire for victory in his heart!
However, what he didn’t expect was that when Ali put the ball at the kick-off point, he deliberately looked at him and raised his chin to him.
Ling Feng felt a hint of provocation from that look.
This provocative look was a counterattack to his last goal, and also a challenge to him, the first player of the new generation of English players.
I heard that you are the most awesome young man in England and even the world?
I, Ali, don’t accept it!
However, dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Not to mention Ali’s current level, even Ali in his prime is not enough to be compared with Ling Feng now!
Just five minutes after Ali scored, Ling Feng made this Premier League rookie understand why he is the most valuable player under the U21 level in the world:
Mahrez made a foul on Rose on the right wing, and the Foxes got a chance for a set-piece.
Ling Feng, who took the set-piece, first took three steps back, then accelerated with a run-up, and swung his leg with the inside of his foot.
The next second, the ball drew an elegant arc in the air and accurately found Huth, who was ambushing behind the goal.
Then, the highest altitude of the Foxes team, forced Walker under him, and used a powerful head hammer to smash the ball into the net!
And this goal, like a plate of cold water, immediately extinguished the fighting spirit of the Tottenham players.
And this assist also let Ali and all the spectators watching this game see what is the fatal landing point and the art of passing!
Most importantly, after assisting, Ling Feng did not forget to look at Ali, then raised his chin to him and smiled back.
At that moment, Ali’s heart was filled with shock and awe.
He is so strong!
After the kick-off, the Tottenham players became more and more impatient and began to press frantically in the frontcourt.
However, after the Foxes seized a counterattack opportunity and almost sent the ball into the goal again, they did not dare to continue to attack so fiercely.
Until the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Tottenham could not really threaten Leicester City’s goal again in the last ten minutes.
And this focus battle of the third round ended with the Foxes winning three consecutive victories
