The first time, the second time.
Chapter 248 PFA Best Team! Best Young Player!
After being photographed and asked several sharp questions by the host in the interview area, Ling Feng and Mendes also walked into the venue together.
The venue was already bustling.
One is one of the most popular players in the Premier League, and the other is the most famous agent in the football world. The two immediately attracted a lot of attention.
During the period, whether they met familiar Premier League players or unfamiliar guests, the other party would take the initiative to come forward to greet Ling Feng and Mendes and exchange a few words.
Since he was selected as the best in both categories, Ling Feng could sit at the table of PFA Best Player candidates or the table of Best Young Player candidates.
After careful consideration, the PFA officials arranged him at the latter table.
As for Mendes, he was arranged at the next table.
“Hey! Raheem!”
“Harry!”
After hugging his two national team teammates Sterling and Kane, Ling Feng also shook hands with the Red Army’s new No. 10 Coutinho and the Blues’ new goalkeeper Courtois.
Like Hazard, Sterling and Ling Feng, they have been selected as candidates for the PFA Best Young Player Award for two consecutive years.
However, compared with Hazard’s final award last year, the ownership of this year’s award is even more unsuspenseful!
Before the award ceremony, Ling Feng played 30 times in the Premier League this season, contributed 13 goals and 22 assists, and won 15 man of the match awards.
He scored 35 goals alone, making him the player with the most goals among nearly 500 players in the Premier League!
And the number of personal chances created and the success rate of crosses are also ranked first in the league!
Most importantly, at the age of 19 years and 332 days, he became the youngest player to make 20 assists since the founding of the Premier League!
He broke the Premier League single-season assist record held by former Arsenal legend Henry for 12 years in just 29 games!
It even affected the Premier League to set up the Premier League Assist King Award in advance!
Therefore, in everyone’s opinion, the PFA Young Player of the Year Award has long belonged to Ling Feng.
Even if another Tottenham superstar Kane, who suddenly emerged, ushered in an explosion this season and scored nearly 30 goals in various competitions, it is impossible to snatch this award from Ling Feng
The entire award ceremony process is almost the same as last year.
The previous links are some insignificant links.
Therefore, Ling Feng mainly ate and drank while chatting with Sterling and Kane.
As they talked, the three of them also talked about the upcoming European Youth Championship in the summer.
“By the way, Ling, I heard from Mr. Southgate that you will also participate in the European Youth Championship this summer?”
As Kane spoke, Sterling looked at Ling Feng in surprise:
“Is there such a thing?”
“Yes, Gary invited me to join the team, hoping that I can contribute to the team with what I am good at.”
After getting a positive answer, Kane immediately showed a joyful expression:
“That’s great! I believe that with you, we can at least make it to the finals!”
Hearing this, Sterling on the side pouted and complained in his heart:
Final?
Small, small pattern!
Who do you think he is?
He won the World Cup Best Newcomer at the age of 18 and broke the Premier League single-season assist record in his first Premier League season!
With Ling Feng’s strength as the Premier League assist king, coupled with Kane who is in hot form this season, this frontcourt combination alone is absolutely unstoppable in the European Youth Championship!
Thinking of this, Sterling suddenly envied.
Damn, I missed the chance to win the championship!
Although it is only a European Youth Championship, the value is definitely not as good as the national team A-level competition.
But a champion is always a champion!
You know, most players in the football world don’t even have a decent championship.
And Sterling would never have thought that such a player would sit next to him!
Looking at Kane’s slightly excited look, Ling Feng suddenly thought of a very interesting thing.
The super striker sitting in front of him scored 300 goals, but he was the uncrowned king who never won a real championship!
If he can win the European Youth Championship this time, it will be equivalent to Kane’s first championship in his career.
The reborn Ling Feng definitely understands the meaning of a champion.
The importance of Kane.
Scoring numerous goals but never winning a championship in his career has almost become a special topic for Kane’s fans.
Ling Feng also felt very sorry for Kane’s lack of a championship.
And now, he has the opportunity to help Kane make up for this regret? !
Thinking of this, Ling Feng found it very interesting.
It also strengthened his determination to help England win the European Youth Championship in the summer!
. . .
As several people talked and laughed, time passed quietly.
Until the halfway point of the award ceremony, it finally came to the first more important link:
“Ladies and gentlemen, let’s take a look at the best eleven players who performed best in the Premier League this season!”
“Please look at the big screen!”
As soon as the voice fell, the big screen at the venue began to play the candidates for the PFA Team of the Year and their wonderful clips.
The PFA Team of the Year in the 2014-15 season is a 442 diamond midfielder formation.
The goalkeeper is De Gea, the big daddy of Manchester United.
The four defenders are Bertrand of Southampton, Cahill, Terry and Ivanovic of Chelsea.
It is worth mentioning that Bertrand was still a Chelsea player before the official transfer in the winter window.
Strictly speaking, Chelsea players monopolized the entire back line in the best lineup!
The defensive midfielder is Matic, who has performed well in Chelsea this season and is called “the first defensive midfielder in the Premier League” by many fans;
Three offensive midfielders, Arsenal’s thigh Sanchez is on the left, Chelsea’s absolute core Hazard is on the right, and Leicester City’s golden boy Ling Feng is in the middle;
On the front line are Chelsea striker Costa, who ranks second and third in the Premier League scorer list, and White Hart Lane striker supernova Kane!
Chelsea, which has basically locked the Premier League championship, has become the biggest winner, with a total of six players selected for the best lineup!
This also shows how outstanding this Chelsea is under the leadership of the “madman” Mourinho!
Although all the candidates for this annual best team are worthy of the title,
However, if we really want to argue, there are still some points worth considering.
After seeing the list of the best team, Manchester City fans either spit foul language directly or rushed to the PFA official website to spray!
The biggest point of controversy is why Aguero, who scored the most goals in the Premier League and ranked first in the scorer list, was not selected for the best team? !
Why Costa and Kane, who ranked behind him, were selected for the best team?
In addition to Aguero, Joe Hart, Fabregas, Sigurdsson and other outstanding players were not selected, which also made other fans quite dissatisfied.
However, there will be some people who are happy and some who are sad in the selection of all awards.
The 20 Premier League teams have their own supporters, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone.
After the annual best team is released, the award for the best young player of the year is presented.
As usual, the big screen first played the highlights of the wonderful games of the candidates headed by Ling Feng this season.
Then, former Leicester City star Lineker made a brilliant appearance as the award presenter amid the applause of the audience.
“In the past year, I am very happy to see many young players emerge in the league. Among them are Ling, Hazard, and Kane.”
“Next, let me announce the top three best young players of the year.”
“The third place is Hazard.”
“The second place is Kane.”
“The first place is Ling Feng!”
The award result is no suspense!
When the live camera was aimed at Ling Feng, the audience burst into warm applause.
Under the attention of everyone, Ling Feng first accepted a kiss from his girlfriend Barbara, and then hugged the head coach Pearson, his parents, and his agent who were sitting at another table.
Finally, he adjusted his clothes and stepped onto the podium with a calm face.
“Man, you deserve it!”
“Thank you!”
After receiving the silver trophy representing the PFA Young Player of the Year from Lineker, Ling Feng came to the microphone and prepared to give his acceptance speech.
“Thank you very much to the PFA, and all the players, coaches and referees who voted for me.”
“At this time last year, I also came here and competed for this award with several equally outstanding young players.”
“I am very happy to win the award. This is a recognition of my performance on the field in the past year, and I feel very honored.”
After a simple award speech, Ling Feng walked off the stage amid another round of applause from the crowd.
After the Young Player of the Year, the next is the important
The highlight:
PFA Player of the Year, that is, the English Footballer of the Year!
Strictly speaking, the only competitors for this award are Hazard and Ling Feng.
Others have a chance, but it is slim.
After all, Hazard and Ling Feng have performed steadily and well throughout the season.
Hazard has played 31 times in the league for Chelsea this season, contributing 12 goals and 7 assists.
Although his personal data is far behind Ling Feng.
However, his importance to Chelsea cannot be summarized by personal data alone.
In the Premier League, he averages 4.8 dribbles per game, and his success rate ranks first in Europe, even higher than Messi and Neymar in La Liga!
As Chelsea’s ball-holding core, his presence can not only solve problems with his personal ability, but also create more space and opportunities for his teammates.
Seeing the wonderful game highlights of the six candidates starting to play on the big screen, Ling Feng already had an idea.
Judging from the fact that he was placed at the table of the best young player and that he was the first to win the best young player award, Ling Feng felt that he was likely to lose to Hazard.
Sure enough, when the award presenter finally said Hazard’s name, Ling Feng was not surprised at all.
Seeing Hazard go on stage to receive the award, Ling Feng also smiled and applauded for him.
Although he had already guessed this result.
However, Ling Feng was still a little unwilling and disappointed.
In his opinion, his personal performance and data were better than Hazard.
But he still lost!
The reason why he was defeated by Hazard, whose personal data was relatively poor, and did not win the PFA Player of the Year was very simple:
The team Hazard played for was Chelsea, a giant that basically locked in the Premier League championship this season.
And he only played for the sixth promoted team in the league.
Even though the record was very amazing, it was the super dark horse of this season’s league.
But in terms of attention and fame, Hazard was better.
Moreover, the performance of both players is closely related to the team’s achievements and is crucial.
Both of them have repeatedly helped the team defeat opponents with their own strength, and also relied on their own strength to compete with the league’s strong teams.
Judging from the strength and performance of the two, they are both top in the Premier League.
Of course, there have been many players who won the PFA Player of the Year (England Footballer of the Year) award when the team did not win the Premier League championship.
For example, Bale in the 10-11 and 12-13 seasons, and Suarez last season!
If Ling Feng can lead Leicester City to the top four and have a better record, he is definitely more qualified than Hazard to win the PFA Player of the Year.
However, bringing the current Leicester City to the top six is already the result of his great efforts.
You know, their lineup is very weak, and they have to fight on two fronts.
But no matter what, they are only sixth in the Premier League.
And Chelsea is the Premier League champion.
The weight of the championship is heavy, and it can also add a lot of points.
Perhaps, this is the cruelty of sports competition
However, although Ling Feng’s expression on his face is still the same, he has already ignited a raging fire in his heart.
Wait and see!
Next year, I will beat everyone, come back here again, and then win this damn best award!
In the evaluation of the Player of the Year Award, losing to Hazard made Ling Feng determined to win it back next year.
However, in the eyes of Mendes, who just praised Ling Feng, this is a shame!
In the eyes of this agent, Ling Feng’s performance and popularity are higher than Hazard.
The only thing that dragged Ling Feng down from winning the award is the poor record of the team he plays for!
Although it is impossible to directly push Leicester City’s team record to the throne of the Premier League champion.
But helping its players improve the team’s record is not just a way to improve the players’ personal strength.
There are other ways!
For example, find a club with stronger teammates and a more luxurious lineup for Ling Feng!
Originally, in Mendes’ career plan for Ling Feng, he planned to let Ling Feng train in Leicester City for two or three years, and then wait until he matures, and then transfer to a wealthy club to compete for championships and personal honors.
However, what he never expected was that in just one year, Ling Feng broke several records in succession, fully adapted to the intensity and rhythm of the top league games, and handed in an answer sheet that amazed everyone!
Except that the team’s record was slightly worse, his personal performance was impeccable at all!
At this moment, Mendes suddenly felt that the small temple of Leicester City had been completely
There is no room for the great god Ling Feng
