Chapter 198

The goalkeeper was defeated.

Chapter 197 Best Assist of the Season? !

“GOAL~~~GOAL~~~GOAL~~~”

“What an exciting goal!”

“In the last minute of the game, Vardy helped Leicester City equalize the score!”

The next second after watching the ball fly into the empty goal, the calmness on Vardy’s face was suddenly replaced by excitement and excitement.

Originally, when he saw Ling Feng rushing into the penalty area from the side and facing the goalkeeper alone, he was not sure that Ling Feng would pass the ball.

Because Ling Feng did not turn his head to observe the running positions of himself or other teammates throughout the whole process.

So, he was not sure whether Ling Feng would pass the ball to himself who was in an empty position.

However, Vardy still chose to follow up.

This is the instinct of a shooter!

It is also a trust in Ling Feng!

You know, long before the start of the season, Ling Feng had promised himself that he would continue to pass the ball to him.

And this young man never makes a promise that he cannot fulfill!

Facts have proved that his decision is correct!

Amid the cheers of the King Power Stadium, Vardy, the hero of the equalizer, turned around and rushed towards Ling Feng without hesitation, and gave him a big hug!

After the hug, he asked with a smile on his face:

“Man, I thought you were going to shoot yourself!”

And Ling Feng just smiled and said half-truthfully:

“I thought about it. But you are in a better position!”

Yes, this is why he passed the ball!

It’s definitely not because he is not confident in his shooting skills.

This answer is very consistent with Ling Feng’s playing style, which makes Vardy smile even more brilliantly:

“Thanks, man! I owe you a big meal!”

As he spoke, other teammates also rushed to the two of them and celebrated this precious equalizer together.

As Vardy equalized, the reactions of the two head coaches were also completely different.

Rogers held his head with both hands, showing a painful and helpless expression.

Pearson, who was sitting in the stands, was excited to high-five Walsh, the assistant coach next to him, and kept saying:

“We equalized! We equalized!”

After the celebration, the game entered the overtime stage.

And the overtime was only three minutes.

Leicester City, with high morale, continued to put pressure on the Red Army’s defense.

And with Rogers waving his hand, Liverpool directly called off the game.

He replaced Sterling with defender Lovren, and the Reds retreated to their own half.

Obviously, they just wanted to keep the tie.

Finally, with a long whistle from referee Oliver, the score of the red-blue battle was fixed at 3-3!

The two sides shook hands and made peace!

With Ling Feng’s pass in front of the goal in the last minute of the regular game, Vardy scored the equalizer.

This goal defended Leicester City’s unbeaten record at home this season and also allowed them to get a precious point from Liverpool!

And Liverpool, after falling behind by two goals in the first half, fought back in the second half and chased three goals in a row, which fully demonstrated their tenacity and

Although they were tied in the end, they were a little unwilling.

However, considering the opponent’s excellent offensive firepower, a draw is also an acceptable result.

“Wow, this game is so exciting!”

“I think I have to apologize to Ling Feng!”

“I just said that he was not the protagonist of this game. In fact, I was wrong.”

“In this exciting and ups-and-downs classic battle, he is definitely the absolute protagonist without a doubt!”

“I personally think that this one-stop assist from the wing, after passing two people and rushing into the penalty area, can definitely compete for the best assist of the season!”

“This assist is a complete reflection of personal ability.”

“Many wingers, in a one-on-one situation, would never choose a selfless pass!”

Peter Drewry has a very high reputation in the British football commentary circle.

And this evaluation has also been recognized by many fans online.

The term “Ling Feng assists” once ranked among the top ten hot searches!

After the game, Ling Feng, who made one assist and one goal, hugged and exchanged jerseys with Gerrard, who scored twice.

And the photo of the two hugging was once again published in major media newspapers the next day.

Many fans feel very fortunate.

After Gerrard and Lampard both left the Three Lions, they at least still have Ling

Feng, this super genius!

. . .

After shaking hands with Liverpool at home, Leicester City has played against all four teams of the BIG6 this season.

Among them, they defeated Manchester United at home and tied with Arsenal and Liverpool.

Lost to Chelsea away.

Judging from this record, the newly promoted Leicester City is not afraid of the strong teams ranked at the top of the league this season.

However, in sharp contrast to their excellent offensive firepower is the number of goals they conceded.

After 14 rounds of the league, 19 goals were conceded!

In the eyes of many football experts and commentators, Leicester City’s defense still has a lot of room for improvement.

However, Leicester City is optimistic about this fact.

The defensive system cannot be built overnight.

Since defense is impossible, why not focus on offense and try to play the team’s strengths as much as possible.

Anyway, as long as there is one more goal than conceded, victory can be achieved.

Isn’t that what football is all about? !

Three days later, Leicester City came to Birmingham, more than 60 kilometers away.

Aston Villa greeted them!

Aston Villa, a veteran team located in Birmingham, is also one of the founding members of the Premier League.

Villa’s performance in recent seasons has been very stable.

Almost all of them were able to successfully stay in the league by just one or two places above the relegation zone.

The team does not have any talented players. The only one who still has potential is the team’s youth training and household registration book, the 19-year-old future 100 million man “shake” Jack Grealish!

Grealish is now just a main rotation for Aston Villa.

However, the ball control and dribbling shown in the game are very rhythmic, and it can be seen that there is something.

For Villa, this game against Leicester City is definitely a good opportunity to score points.

Because, in the last fierce battle with Liverpool, the main players in Leicester City consumed a lot of physical energy and have not recovered yet.

Even Ling Feng, who has good physical fitness, showed visible fatigue.

Facing the high-intensity rhythm and fierce confrontation of the Premier League for the first time, the 19-year-old has done well enough.

However, as the core of Leicester City, he has been targeted and violated so much that he ranks second in the Premier League’s average number of violations per game, second only to Chelsea’s Hazard.

He is constantly hugged, tackled, and collided by opponents in every game.

It is a great blessing that he has not suffered too much injury so far.

It is normal for the state to fluctuate.

After all, people are not machines.

Considering that the last round of the Europa League will be in a few days, the full substitute lineup can be sent to train the troops after they have already qualified.

At that time, Ling Feng and other main players can also take a full rest.

Therefore, head coach Pearson did not let Ling Feng, who had just played 90 minutes in the last game, and other main players such as Vardy and Morgan rest, but continued to start.

It is worth mentioning that in this away game against Villa, Pearson did not know where he learned it from, and suddenly did a little job.

He did not let Ling Feng continue to play as a front midfielder, but tried to put him in the position of central midfielder for the first time to test tactics.

He hoped to keep Ling Feng away from the opponent’s key defense and defense by retreating, so as to give full play to his broad vision and passing skills and create more opportunities for his teammates.

These days, whenever he saw Ling Feng being violated and fouled by opponent players in the stands, Pearson was the person who felt the most distressed besides Ling Feng’s parents.

Therefore, he hoped to reduce the number of times Ling Feng was violated on the court in this way!

Next to Ling Feng, he sent Nick Powell, a young midfielder on loan from Manchester United.

Pearson hopes that the two partners can create some sparks in the midfield, thereby enriching the team’s tactical match and allowing Powell to share some of Ling Feng’s organizational responsibilities.

Unfortunately, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Under the advantage of the home court, Villa’s players are like chicken blood, full of momentum.

Especially under the successive attacks of Benteke and Abanglaho, Leicester City’s pitifully slow defense line was upset.

On the other hand, although the position of Leicester City was delayed and there was no close defense of the opponent’s players, Ling Feng was able to calmly control the rhythm and organize the offense in the midfield area.

But being away from the goal also prevented his offensive talent from being fully released.

Moreover, because Powell’s defensive ability is very average, he even has to distract himself from defense!

Even so, he still

He is the best player in Leicester City!

He made four key passes in the midfield area throughout the game.

Unfortunately, his teammates were in a very low state in this game. Their shots were either missed or caught by the opponent’s goalkeeper.

Before he was about to be substituted, he broke through the middle and created a free kick opportunity in front of the penalty area.

Mahrez, who came on as a substitute, scored a direct free kick and tied the score.

Even so, Leicester City suffered a disappointing defeat at Villa Park.

It also gave Aston Villa its first home win since August!

At the same time, it also made the Blue Foxes, who were advancing rapidly, suffer their third defeat of the season.

It is worth mentioning that the three games lost this season were all away games!

Although it has not reached the level of “home dragon, away worm”

However, this also verifies the old saying – away games in the Premier League are particularly difficult to play!

After witnessing the loss to Villa, Pearson also realized that Ling Feng’s best position is still the attacking midfielder!

The backward position will only make Ling Feng away from the goal and the forward, burying his offensive talent.

Moreover, it will also make him waste his physical strength on defense.

Like Pearson’s idea, Ling Feng is not very satisfied with his performance as a central midfielder.

Although this game only lasted 70 minutes.

However, Ling Feng felt that he played more tired than the last game against Liverpool.

On the one hand, compared with the starting players such as Vardy and Mahrez, Leicester City’s substitutes are much weaker.

On the one hand, his backward position has caused him to take more responsibilities on both offense and defense.

However, football is a team sport.

Even as strong as Messi and Ronaldo or Ronaldo and Zidane, they can’t lead the whole team alone!

What’s more, he? !

. . .

The devil’s schedule in December is a fresh test for Leicester City, whose lineup depth is not very strong.

The successive games caused obvious problems in the players’ physical fitness.

The team’s training was basically replaced by low-intensity recovery training.

Unfortunately, the high-intensity game rhythm has not caused injuries to the team, but some small accidents have caused the team to lose players:

In a normal tactical training class, the team’s number one goalkeeper Schmeichel accidentally suffered a metatarsal fracture and will be absent for at least one month.

Fortunately, a few days after losing to Villa, Leicester City ushered in the last group match of the Europa League.

After defeating Legion Warsaw at home in the last round, Leicester City achieved an unbeaten record of four wins and one draw after five rounds of games, with 13 points.

Legion Warsaw, the second in the group, has 9 points, and Trabzonspor, the third in the group, has 7 points.

In other words, regardless of the win or loss in the last round, Leicester City has already locked the first place in the group and advanced to the knockout stage of the Europa League!

Therefore, fearing that other main players would also be injured, Pearson generously announced that Ling Feng, Vardy, Mahrez and others would have three days off and would not have to follow the team to Ukraine to participate in the final round of the group stage.

With a rare holiday, Ling Feng immediately shared the good news with Barbara who was filming in Paris.

And proposed to meet him in Paris:

“Is your filming going well? Otherwise, I will go to Paris to find you and we will go shopping together?”

“I don’t know, I don’t know when the filming task will be over. Even if you come, I may not have time to accompany you.”

Barbara’s somewhat cold answer surprised Ling Feng and made him feel a little disappointed.

However, he is not the kind of man who makes his girlfriend give up her career.

“Well, work is important. When you are done, it won’t be too late for us to make an appointment again.”

That night, Ling Feng couldn’t sleep.

He began to think, they were obviously chatting well, why did he propose to find each other, but Barbara declined?

Could it be that she didn’t like him at all and was just treating him like a fish?

Or was she playing hard to get?

Ling Feng suddenly felt that feelings were much more complicated than football.

However, the next afternoon, while playing FIFA in the game room, Ling Feng suddenly received a call from Barbara:

“It’s me.”

“Barbara?”

“Yeah. Are you at home now?”

“Yes.”

“I’m in Paris now, getting ready to board a plane. I’ll land at London Heathrow Airport in about an hour. So. Are you coming to pick me up?”

Barbara’s call caught Ling Feng off guard and dispelled his worries.

So, without any hesitation, he answered directly.

：

“Of course!”
