Ling Feng's dominant performance in the away game against Leeds United made Ling Feng once again a hot topic in online social media, newspapers and magazines.
Eighteen years old, handsome, outstanding football skills...
He has various labels on his body that attract attention and become the center of attention!
Although the English Championship is a secondary league in England.
However, its intensity and excitement rank among the top ten in Europe.
Its influence in England and even European football cannot be underestimated.
Therefore, after this game, Ling Feng once again appeared on the sports pages of many media magazines.
Whether in front of the TV or in the stadium, spectators and fans who have seen Ling Feng play will not deny one fact:
Ling Feng is a rising star in football!
This young man's talent and spirituality are already overflowing when he plays football.
Moreover, his consecutive appearances as a substitute and providing assists to help the team win fully demonstrated his immediate combat ability.
Even though he has not started a game for Leicester City, he has become the most dazzling local star in Leicester!
Therefore, on the day after the game, Leicester's local newspaper "Leicester Mercury" chose the photo of Ling Feng with open arms and accepting the cheers and applause of the fans as its front page cover!
The title of the cover is one word in bold and black - "Genius!"
For Ling Feng, a handsome boy with Leicester blood, the Leicester people completely regarded him as their own child.
When their children do well, parents will of course feel proud and want to show off to the world!
It is not surprising, then, that the Mercury devoted two full pages to his story.
In this report, the writer briefly described Ling Feng's short career, firstly describing Ling Feng's steady performance in the youth team, his emergence in the FA Cup, his promotion to the first team, and his consecutive appearances as a substitute.
Then he invited football commentators to analyze Ling Feng's playing style, and then analyzed his various abilities for readers.
Finally, the "Mercury" also organized a fan vote for prizes at the end of the newspaper page.
The voting item is how many assists Ling Feng is expected to have this season.
Fans can go to the newspaper's official website to vote, and the fan who finally guesses Ling Feng's number of assists this season can get a free newspaper for a year!
In addition to the popular local newspapers, many football media and magazines have launched a new round of praise (praising) (killing) Ling Feng's performance...
. . .
Leicester, Belvoir Base.
Team massage room.
Players such as Ling Feng and Mahrez, who had just completed their physical training, were lying on the massage table, receiving exclusive massage from the team's physical therapist.
Just as Ling Feng closed his eyes and enjoyed the soreness coming from his thigh muscles, Mahrez's voice sounded in his ears:
"Hey, man, did you read yesterday's Mercury? You were on the cover!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng responded directly without opening his eyes:
"I didn't read it, but my parents bought a newspaper this morning and they called me to tell me."
Ling Feng's calm reaction made Mahrez stunned, and he muttered in his heart again:
Is he really only eighteen years old?
If it were him, he would definitely call his parents, siblings, and even friends to show off to them.
Looking at Ling Feng with his eyes tightly closed, Mahrez couldn't help but ask his inner doubts:
"Why don't you look excited at all?"
"It's just being on the cover, it's not a big deal."
Although he said this, Ling Feng was already happy in his heart.
This is the first time he has made the headlines of a newspaper!
Mahrez didn't know that Ling Feng had already asked his mother to keep the newspaper where he made the headlines for the first time as a souvenir.
Of course, in order to maintain his calm persona in front of his teammates, he must not tell anyone this kind of thing.
Even Mahrez, who has the best relationship with him in the entire first team!
At this time, Mahrez seemed to think of something again, and then picked up the iPhone next to the bedside and asked Ling Feng again:
"By the way, Ling, how many Twitter followers do you have now?"
“I don’t know, I don’t have Twitter on my phone.”
Hearing this, Mahrez showed a surprised expression:
"What? You don't have a Twitter?!"
As a young man who loves football, Ling Feng's predecessor has always focused on football and has no time to make friends, let alone use social media.
For him, the functions of a mobile phone are just making calls and chatting with the team, and listening to music.
"Then you must not know that the fans are going crazy on the club's official Twitter!"
"What's so crazy about this?"
"Look!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mahrez handed his mobile phone to Ling Feng.
After taking it, Ling Feng saw the official website of Leicester City Club, which was already flooded with comments from Leicester City fans:
"Ling Feng is the next midfield master!"
"Let him start, Qiuqiu!"
"He deserves a starting spot!"
"Coach, Ling will start, do you understand?"
Most of the comments from Leicester City fans, in addition to praise, call on the club and manager to give him more playing time, or let him start directly.
Among them, what surprised Ling Feng was that the comment with the highest number of likes actually came from Lineker!
Gary Lineker, former England international.
During his career, he played for Leicester City, Everton, Barcelona and other clubs, and won honors such as the Premier League Golden Boot, English Footballer of the Year, and World Golden Boot.
He is also the second-leading scorer in the history of the England national team, scoring 48 goals in 80 appearances, second only to Bobby Charlton.
After retiring, he focused on football commentary.
In 1999, he became the host of the BBC's football ace program "Match of the day" (match day), and he has been until now.
With the huge influence of "Match Day", the longest-running football program in Guinness, the man nicknamed "The Football Gentleman" has an unquestionable status in the world of English football.
He is funny and quick-witted, has rich knowledge of football and is eloquent, and has always been loved by the public.
It is worth mentioning that his greatest influence is not the number of stars or games he has commented on, nor his status as a famous "Mei Biao", but a self-deprecating speech.
That was after the German team was eliminated from the finals on penalty kicks in the 1990 World Cup and the 1996 European Cup. Lineker said a famous saying that has been circulated in the football world:
"What is football? Football is a sport invented by the British. After 22 people on the field fought fiercely and fought hard for 90 minutes, the Germans won in the end!"
The grievances and grievances between Britain and Germany at the level of football competition could not be finished for ten days and ten nights.
Therefore, this speech has become an eternal pain in the hearts of many people in England...
As a well-known die-hard Leicester City fan, Lineker also pays attention to Leicester City's games from time to time.
He occasionally posts comments on Leicester City's official Twitter account to increase his presence.
The comments this time are very surprising:
"Ling Feng is definitely the most creative midfielder in the history of Leicester City! From today on, I am his fan..."
Ling Feng was a little flattered by this senior's praise.
You know, the last player he praised so much was Messi!
The effect of celebrities is indeed not simple.
Lineker's comment directly received over 50,000 likes!
