"Vardy!!!"
"He did it!"
"Goal~~Goal~~Goal~~"
"The Blue Foxes regained a victory, and they continued to fight like Spartans who never admit defeat!"
With Vardy's stunning volley, tens of thousands of Blue Fox fans in Wembley Stadium finally got a chance to vent their inner emotions.
In an instant, all of them jumped up from their seats, raised their hands in the air, and burst into unprecedented cheers, which even made the entire stadium tremble!
The Arsenal fans who had been singing just now fell silent.
In the stands, the England assistant coach, who had just said that Leicester City's game would be difficult, looked dumbfounded.
Hodgson, who was on the side, was also shocked by this exquisite cooperation goal, and his cloudy eyes widened in shock.
However, he was not amazed by Vardy's shot, but by Ling Feng's overhead long pass, which made him vaguely see Gerrard!
Eight years ago, in the FA Cup final of the 2005-06 season, Liverpool was also scored twice by West Ham United at the beginning. Gerrard used an extremely accurate overhead long pass to assist. The forward Cisse volleyed and scored, thus sounding the clarion call for counterattack!
At that time, Hodgson, who was coaching in Norway, also watched this classic game in front of the TV, which was included in the top ten finals of the FA Cup.
He was very impressed with this game.
Because, this game can be called the second classic game in Gerrard's career after the Miracle in Istanbul!
In that game, Gerrard shot two shots and passed like a god, leading Liverpool to a 3-3 draw with West Ham United and winning the FA Cup through a penalty shootout!
Could it be said that he is about to witness a classic battle that will be recorded in the history of the FA Cup? !
Not only Hodgson, but also France coach Didier Deschamps, who was sitting in the stands not far away, applauded Leicester City's wonderful goal combination of passing and shooting.
"The pass of the blue player No. 23 is very threatening. What is his name?"
Upon hearing Deschamps' question, the assistant coach beside him couldn't help but immediately replied:
"His name is Ling Feng. The one who scored the goal is Jamie Vardy. Both of them have entered England's 30-man preliminary list for the World Cup."
"Oh, how old is this Ling Feng?"
"I'll be nineteen in a month."
"Wow, you are so young."
Different from the focus of the two national team coaches Hodgson and Deschamps, Lineker, a Leicester City die-hard and famous player, simply enjoys the excitement and happiness brought by his home team's goals.
"As expected of Ling! The ball was passed just right! Of course, Vardy also shot well!"
"If I had teammates like Ling when I played football, I could score fifty goals a season!"
After hearing this, my wife and good friend sitting next to me also smiled.
In their perception, Lineker is a very polite person in both speech and behavior.
In daily life, there are rarely huge mood swings.
However, since the last time he came to watch a Leicester City game, whenever he saw Ling Feng making an assist or scoring a goal, he would rarely explode and show great excitement.
Perhaps Ling Feng, an outstanding young man, reminded him of the days when he was running around on the green field.
. . .
Amid the cheers of the fans, Vardy did not celebrate after scoring. Instead, he ran into Arsenal's goal immediately, picked up the ball and ran towards the center circle.
While running back, he made a fist and bared his teeth at the Blue Fox fans in the stands.
It seems to be saying to the fans: "Look, we haven't given up yet!"
After reaching the center circle and placing the ball at the kick-off point, he found Ling Feng, high-fived and hugged him.
"I knew you could pass it on!"
In response, Ling Feng just smiled back,
"You cum so good!"
Needless to say, the two's tacit understanding of passing and running is reflected in their nearly twenty assists in the league and cup games combined!
Looking at the scene of Leicester City players gathering together to celebrate, the Arsenal players looked at each other.
Ergou lowered his head and scratched his head, looking at Ling Feng with some disbelief in his eyes.
He didn't expect that this black-haired boy would get a chance to pass the ball just because he didn't press so far forward.
What made him most unbelievable was that Ling Feng could pass such a precise pass without looking up at all.
It’s incredible!
Of course, not only him, but other Arsenal players did not expect that Leicester City would get a goal back with just a simple pass and shot.
This goal was even cleaner than their first goal.
Only then did Arsenal's players realize that their opponents' ability to create and seize opportunities should not be underestimated.
Worthy of being the hegemon of the British Championship!
After being pulled back by Leicester City, Wenger also showed a helpless look on the sidelines.
However, he quickly recovered his emotions, came to the sidelines, and shouted loudly to his disciples:
"It doesn't matter, we are still ahead! Just focus on the game!"
"Bacari (Sagna), go around and defend!"
"Mesut, don't give him such a big passing space next time!"
"Oliver (Giroud), as soon as No. 23 gets the ball, go over and press him."
After Arsenal kicked off, they quickly got into their own offensive rhythm.
In the passing and controlling system created by Wenger, every Arsenal player moves at the moment of passing the ball.
The entire tactical formation is flowing like a stream.
Facing Arsenal's passing and control, Leicester City also retreated to their own half to compress the space as much as possible.
After all, one team is one of the top four clubs in the Premier League, and the other is the newly crowned champion of the English Championship. There is a certain gap in strength.
There is no shame in setting up a bus.
In the remaining fifteen minutes of the first half, Arsenal basically controlled the ball and constantly penetrated Leicester City's defense through passes.
The latter's occasional side counterattacks also prevented Arsenal from pressing too hard and attacking too hard.
After all, we are still one goal ahead. It is a wise choice to keep the ball and consume time and opponent's energy!
And that stunning long pass just now made Arsenal dare not give Ling Feng the space to pass the ball calmly.
Whenever he gets the ball, not only Ergou, but also the nearby Giroud will come to help defend.
After Arsenal strengthened their defense, Ling Feng responded to this special treatment only for stars by frequently changing positions with Mahrez.
In this way, time passes little by little.
Finally, with Ramsey's long shot from outside the penalty area, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
The first half ended with a score of 2 to 1, which was acceptable for both sides.
The two sides seem to have reached a tacit understanding.
Let’s take a rest first and wait until the second half to determine the real winner!
