The new Beckham?
Upon hearing this extremely high evaluation, Beckham's iconic 45-degree cross suddenly appeared in Southgate's mind.
Although the passing arc and distance are not as good as Beckham's.
However, imagination and precision are not inferior at all!
The passing of the two people can only be said to have their own merits.
However, just comparing Ling Feng's passing with Beckham is the greatest recognition of this 18-year-old young man!
Ling Feng's talent was already overflowing.
Anyone who is not blind can see it.
"How many goals has he scored this season? How many assists has he had?"
Upon hearing this, Steve Holland immediately took out a small brown notebook, flipped through it, and then replied:
"Including the assist just now, he has scored six goals and assisted 14 times in the league this season. He has assisted seven times in the FA Cup and scored no goals."
You know, Ling Feng only started to be promoted to Leicester City's first team in January, participating in the English Championship and FA Cup.
Under the premise that the playing time is much lower than that of other players in the British Championship, he has produced such high-efficiency personal data, which is terrifying!
"Gareth, this kid is definitely a superstar! The sky is the limit for him!"
Hearing this, Southgate almost rolled his eyes.
No way, many football seniors or media newspapers will use this standard sentence when evaluating (praising) young talents in England:
"The sky is his limit!"
However, many times, these young talents who are touted by the media turn out to be injuries to Zhongyong.
Most of them fell straight down before they even flew into the air.
He didn't want Ling Feng to be like this.
Although I have seen with my own eyes Ling Feng's amazing talent in passing.
However, he wanted to continue to see Ling Feng's abilities in other aspects besides passing.
In the increasingly fast-paced modern football, the requirements for midfielders are higher than before.
The classical attacking midfielder who organizes and supports by passing the ball and focuses on the final pass has long since withdrawn from the stage.
As a core midfielder, you not only need to pass the ball accurately, but also need to constantly connect with teammates through frequent off-the-ball movements to create space.
In addition, there must be a shot that can threaten the goal through the back.
Sometimes you even have to press and intercept in the frontcourt!
Thinking of this, Southgate's eyes were once again fixed on the black-haired young man wearing the blue jersey No. 23 on the court, his eyes burning:
"Young man, let me see how strong you are!"
. . .
The game continues.
According to Burnley head coach Sean Dyche, Leicester City are not without flaws.
It's just that the frontcourt offense is too strong, which masks many problems in the defense.
Facing Lingfeng, Vardy and Mahrez, the strongest offensive combination in the British Championship, it is definitely impossible to defend.
Moreover, their tactics are to attack out, make full use of the space on the wing, and carry out cross bombing.
If we shrink back now and play defensive counterattack, wouldn't we use our own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths? !
But if they fight against each other, they might have a chance to win!
Therefore, Burnley, who was lagging behind, immediately cheered up and continued to press forward with a wave of the head coach's hand.
And the direction of their main attack is the left wing guarded by Leicester City left back Jeffrey Schlupp!
Schlupp, who only became the team's main left back in January, is a winger.
The advantage is that he has excellent physical fitness, extremely fast speed, and is good at dribbling at his feet.
When attacking, he often advances into the frontcourt and then makes crosses from the side.
The disadvantage is that he has a strong desire to attack and is often not that quick to attack and return to defense.
Moreover, the defensive movements are large and very rough.
Under the special attack of Burnley's tactics, Trippier once again brought the ball forward and came to near the center line.
Seeing "Water Drinking Brother" Drinkwater come to help defend, he immediately passed the call to Jones in the midfield, and then inserted directly behind him along the wing!
After getting the ball, Jones passed an overhead ball directly to the back of Leicester City's left side.
Seeing this, Schlupp immediately turned around and chased back, racing against Trippier.
While the two were running fast, they did not forget to use their hands to interfere with each other.
In the end, Schlupp suffered a small loss because of his inexperience. Trippier secretly pulled the jersey from his hand, and the latter successfully got the ball.
Seeing his teammates get the ball, Burnley midfielder Jones ran over to respond.
Trippier raised his right leg and pretended to pass back, which attracted Schlupp to turn his head and look towards the center. He immediately pushed out with the outside of his right foot and burst past Schlupp's left side!
Schlupp, who was half a beat too slow, stretched out his legs to interfere, and could only watch helplessly as the opponent made a pass!
Trippier's crosses are very reliable and are his specialty.
The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew straight to the front point of the crowd in the penalty area!
Walkers, who ran out early, tried hard to get rid of Morgan's entanglement, grabbed the front point, and then used the ball to hit him back!
The next second, the ball changed direction and flew from the area between the defender and the goalkeeper to the far post.
"Don't let him grab some!"
Amidst Schmeichel's shouts, a burgundy figure rushed out of the crowd like a ghost and grabbed the second spot!
It's Burnley's chief goalscorer, Danny Ings!
He was seen leaning firmly against Moore with his back, his expression slightly ferocious, and he immediately raised his right leg.
This time, he didn't miss the opportunity and hit the ball hard with his instep!
It was too close and the ball was too fast.
Even if Schmeichel made a save immediately and reached out to block it, he could not stop the ball from hitting the edge of his hand and flying into the goal!
"Ince!!!"
"He did it!"
"Burnley equalized!"
Turf Moor Stadium, which had been silent just now, was suddenly ignited by this goal!
Tens of thousands of Burnley fans showed their enthusiasm without hesitation.
Jumping like crazy in the stands, waving your arms, cheering!
Soon, they started shouting the scorer’s last name in unison:
"Ince!"
"Ince!!"
"Ince!!!"
Only five minutes had passed since the last goal.
The short-term equalizer not only excited the fans, but also boosted the morale of Burnley's players.
For the Leicester City players, this goal was a bit unexpected.
The ball passed through the previous header and then its trajectory changed, which no one could have predicted.
To blame, they can only blame them for not keeping an eye on Woakes, allowing him to grab the first spot at the front.
It is captain Morgan who is responsible for marking Woakes.
He immediately apologized to his teammates: "The ball was my problem. I didn't keep an eye on Woakes."
Vardy, the team's top scorer, immediately said:
"It doesn't matter, they score one for us, and we just score another one!"
"That's right!"
"Be more focused on defense and don't underestimate the enemy! They are the second-best team in the league!"
No complaints, no accusations, just encouragement and support among teammates!
Regarding the team's goal, Ling Feng, who was standing outside the penalty area, did not feel any fluctuation in his heart.
He is not God.
It is impossible to attack and defend anywhere on the court.
Then you need to rely on your teammates to complete the defensive task.
No matter how strong a team is, there will be times when goals are scored.
The key is that they are a mature and confident team and will not panic just because their opponents score a goal.
At this moment, Ling Feng looked at the Burnley players celebrating wildly in the corner flag area with a dangerous light in his eyes.
In his mind, there was only one thought:
Mad, how dare you fight back?
You are dead!
Chapter 2 is here!
Chapter 3 is being written!
