It has to be said that Ling Feng's dribbling passed two people and delivered a fatal assist, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
No matter his teammates, opponents, fans, reporters, or football experts, no one expected Ling Fengfeng to suddenly show off his dribbling.
Seeing Ling Feng, who was still smiling after Gerrard had his black hair ravaged into a bird's nest, all the Colombian players looked at each other with shock and confusion on their faces.
There is only one thought in their minds:
"What happened to his kidney just now? The coach didn't say he could excel!"
However, when the Colombian players on the field turned to look at the head coach on the sidelines, they realized that the expression on their head coach's face was exactly the same as his own.
Yes, the head coach doesn’t know either!
Only then did Colombian coach Jose Pekerman close his mouth, which was slightly open in shock.
In his mind, he could not believe what Ling Feng had done with the two of them just now.
You know, he spent a lot of effort and time in order to restrain this newly born British Emperor.
Not only were all of his game videos with the England national team found, but also several of his games with the Leicester City club for careful study.
However, no matter in the game videos and highlights of the club or the national team, Ling Feng has never been seen dribbling the ball in the middle like this!
Not even once!
If Ling Feng often dribbles and advances, and his opponent is prepared and knows that he may dribble the ball forward, he will definitely not be passed by him so easily.
It is precisely because he rarely advances with the ball during the game that he suddenly caught the Colombian player off guard.
After carefully recalling Ling Feng's extraordinary performance just now, Pekerman discovered that Ling Feng did not have too many tricks or fake moves at his feet, just simple rhythm changes and sudden bursts.
In other words, he just uses his superior explosive power to get past others.
Could it be that he was deceived?
As soon as the idea came to him, Pekelman immediately concluded that he was right!
This is definitely a lie!
Although in the national team's warm-up matches and the World Cup group matches, Ling Feng showed outstanding explosive power. He repeatedly passed people on the wing and immediately passed the ball.
However, he did not try to advance through the middle.
Obviously, he wanted to try to pass the ball just now, but he didn't expect it. He hit it by mistake and passed directly!
Yes!
That's for sure!
At the same time, far away in Leicester, England, at the home of Leicester City coach Pearson.
"This is definitely not a lie!"
Pearson, who was sitting on the sofa with a bottle of beer in his hand, said with determination.
And Walsh, who was sitting on the sofa nearby, nodded in approval.
As the head coach and assistant coach of the club who witnessed Ling Feng's birth and got along with him every day, they had seen Ling Feng seriously ask Mahrez for advice on stopping the ball and dribbling.
Moreover, in the past six months, Ling Feng's explosive power and speed have also made visible improvements.
What's more, based on their understanding of Ling Feng, this boy will not do anything he is not sure of!
And the truth is, Pearson was right.
Ling Feng's advance with the ball was completely premeditated!
From the beginning, he planned to see if his current explosiveness could help him make up for his shortcomings in dribbling.
After passing the ball, he did not choose a long shot, but looked for opportunities to pass the ball, which was also part of his plan.
The reason is simple, he is not sure about his shooting skills!
You know, this is the knockout round of the World Cup, not an ordinary game where he can practice long-range shots.
Passing the ball to Rooney who is open, the possibility of scoring is definitely much higher than taking a long shot from outside the penalty area!
This is his playing style!
Even if Director Zhang comes over, he will praise him as "reasonable"
At this moment, Pearson suddenly thought of something, and his happy expression for his disciple suddenly fell.
Then he cursed loudly:
"Damn it! This kid played so well!"
Hearing this, Walsh on the side couldn't help but have a look of confusion on his face: "What? Ling performed well, why are you still angry?"
"Of course I'm angry!"
"This is the World Cup that the whole world is watching!!!"
"This kid has played so well, other clubs must want to buy him! I can predict how many offers the club will receive after the World Cup!"
Only after hearing Pearson's explanation did Walsh react.
This is indeed the truth!
"Steve, how much is Ling's termination fee?"
"It seems like thirty million."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pearson turned to look at his son sitting on another single sofa and ordered:
"James, help me go to the German transfer website to see how much Ling is worth now."
"But the game is still going on"
"Then go check it out quickly!"
Not daring to argue too much with his serious father, James Pearson immediately ran to his study room, picked up his laptop and ran back to the living room.
While turning on the computer, he frequently raised his head to watch TV, for fear of missing any exciting moment of the game.
For many fans, there is an iron rule that they must abide by when watching games.
That means you must never leave your seat.
Not even if it’s just to get a beer, potato chips or use the toilet!
Because, often in the short time after leaving, a goal may be scored in the game.
"I found it, it's still 10 million euros!"
Hearing this, Walsh on the side said: "The net worth should not be updated yet, we have to wait until the World Cup is over."
Looking at Ling Feng who happened to appear on the TV screen, Pearson pursed his lips and showed a solemn expression.
At this moment, his heart was extremely complicated.
I hope Ling Feng will perform well and help the Three Lions go further.
I don't want Ling Feng to perform too well and attract the attention of other clubs, and then be poached.
He simply couldn't imagine whether Ling Feng could resist the temptation of wealthy families and high salaries when those wealthy families came to poach people.
However, the only thing he can be sure of is that after the World Cup, Ling Feng's worth will definitely skyrocket!
Even if he is finally bought by a wealthy club, he can still leave a considerable amount of money for Leicester City.
. . .
Ling Feng, who is far away in Brazil, certainly doesn't know that his outstanding performance has made the club coach worried.
If he knew, he would definitely comfort his coach with sincere words, saying:
"Don't worry, I won't leave Leicester City!"
For him, this World Cup is a stage for him to show his skills, but it is not a shortcut to help him reach the rich.
Even though he now has the strength to gain a foothold in a wealthy family.
However, now is not the time to transfer to a wealthy club!
Rooney's goal gave England the lead in the first fifteen minutes.
This is a bit surprising to many Colombian celebrities and football experts.
You know, Colombia did very well offensively and defensively in the group stage.
Winning all three games, scoring nine goals and conceding only two.
England's record in the group stage was one win and two draws.
Scored five goals and conceded three.
Judging from the state of the group stage alone, Colombia is obviously better.
However, they did not take into account the difference in strength of the opponents faced by the two groups.
You know, there is a reason why Group D is called the "Group of Death."
Compared with Greece, Little Japan, and Cote d'Ivoire in Group C, three of the four teams in Group D have won the World Cup!
In addition to England, Italy and Uruguay are traditional strong teams.
Coupled with the biggest dark horse of this World Cup, Costa Rica, England's ability to qualify is enough to prove their strength.
After falling behind, Colombia immediately changed its formation and began to attack.
Colombia’s defense does not have any stars.
Zapata, who plays a rotation role in AC Milan, is already the biggest player in the defense.
And his central defender partner, Colombian captain Yepes, is already 38 years old.
This defensive leader who has played for French Ligue 1 Paris Saint-Germain and Serie A AC Milan is very experienced and has excellent defensive awareness.
But he is older and his speed is almost that of a wheelchair.
The two of them are blocking each other head-on, and the other is chasing back to defend, which is quite complementary.
However, it is still unknown how long it can last in the face of the successive attacks from Rooney, Sturridge and Sterling.
Therefore, Pekerman on the sidelines also knew very well that only by burning the battle into England's half can the pressure on the defense be reduced to the greatest extent.
As Colombia exerted its power, England's generals immediately felt the pressure:
In the 25th minute of the game, Cuadrado dribbled the ball through the right wing. After doing a lot of tricks in front of Baynes, he suddenly kicked off an inverted triangle and passed to the back point.
After Ronaldo ran away from Gerrard, he shot directly!
Fortunately, the shot was powerful enough, but the angle was a little off.
Joe Hart did not dare to be careless and hit the ball directly with both fists, thus defusing Colombia's first shot of the game.
However, this was only the beginning of Colombia's fierce offensive.
Just five minutes later, Ronaldo passed a long diagonal pass from the right side of the frontcourt and hoisted the ball to the back of the goal.
Jackson Martinez, who quickly broke in, squeezed past Glen Johnson and jumped up to hit the top.
Joe Hart reacted quickly, jumped on the spot, and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.
After making consecutive wonderful saves, Hart did not forget to raise his hand to poke his temple, and loudly greeted his teammates on the back line:
"Guys! Focus!"
"Don't let them get started easily!"
As Colombia stepped up its attack, England's defense began to see gaps in the midfield.
Originally, Henderson was the only full-time defensive midfielder in the England team.
As for Gerrard's defensive ability, I can only say that it is not bad.
However, compared to those crouching midfielders who like to stand in good positions, he prefers to attack in advance or make sliding tackles to destroy the opponent's dribbling.
Such a defensive strategy, at best, is aggressive; at worst, it is reckless.
If he fails to grab the ball during a tackle or tackle, he leaves his defensive position and will definitely be exploited by his opponent.
When you are young, you have plenty of physical energy and can return to defense in time.
However, as he got older, the physical fitness of the double captain of the club and national team has declined, the coverage area has become less than before, and the frequency of attacking has also decreased.
He played almost all three group matches, and under the high-intensity and fast pace, his foot frequency was obviously much slower.
Many times, even Ronaldo, who is not very fast on his feet, can dribble past him.
Once he leaves his defensive position and cannot come back so quickly, Henderson can only help him fill the position.
At this time, there was only one defensive player in the area in front of the huge defender!
Fortunately, Ling Feng was full of energy and could directly defend in place, squeezing the space in the midfield, and finally stabilized the midfielder who was about to lose control.
After being suppressed by Colombia for twenty minutes, it was not until the 35th minute that England got the ball back again with the help of several people on the wing.
When the ball was transferred, instead of retreating completely at the beginning, the Colombian players immediately aggressively pressed in the frontcourt.
This time is not that time.
After all, they were the ones lagging behind now, so they were naturally eager to equalize the score.
The mood of equalizing the score in the first half and falling behind by one goal were completely different when they returned to the locker room!
The former has a more relaxed mentality.
As long as one goal is scored in the second half, they can overtake the score and win the game.
The latter felt that time was running out, and the pressure suddenly increased.
They have to score two goals in the second half before they can take the lead and win the game!
Which one is better is self-evident
It is worth mentioning that after Tianxiu's dribbling, on the defensive end, Colombia increased its pressure on Ling Feng!
Often before Ling Feng catches the ball, the two defensive midfielders will attack him in advance instead of waiting for him to get the ball and then press closely.
Ling Feng's response was to shoot the ball directly.
Thanks to [God's Vision], he can always grasp the running routes of his teammates, and every pass is passed to the feet of his teammates very accurately.
Even the ball didn't stay at his feet for more than a second.
But several times after passing the ball, the opponent kicked him or pushed him.
Under the protests of Ling Feng, Gerrard and other teammates, the referee finally remembered that he still had the tag on him and showed Colombian midfielder Aguilar a yellow card.
As the referee took action, Colombia's two defensive midfielders became a little more cautious in their aggression against Ling Feng.
At least they won't use "sweeping tricks" on Ling Feng behind his back.
More importantly, with Ling Feng's active performance in retreating to the midfield, England finally withstood Colombia's onslaught.
However, Colombia's frontcourt players have no intention of letting them waste time in the backcourt.
The four Colombian frontcourt players, including Ronaldo, spared no effort to press the English backcourt.
In the face of high pressure, the ability of England's defense to deliver the ball is very important.
However, except for Baynes, who has good footwork, the other three have very average ball-playing abilities.
Fortunately, whenever they hesitated or hesitated, Ling Feng's call would be like the holy light of an angel, guiding them in the direction.
"here!"
"pass it to me!"
If they follow the sound, they will see that Ling Feng will always appear in the open space to receive their passes.
And the facts through training and competition have proved that as long as the ball is passed to Ling Feng, everything will be fine!
