With Ling Feng's pass and shot, Leicester City ended a fantastic first half at the Britannia Stadium.
In the second half, Stoke City coach Mark Hughes immediately adjusted his tactics and directly played a simple and crude long pass.
Even under the interference of Morgan and Moore, Crouch, a tall tall man with a height of more than two meters, repeatedly grabbed the first shot and then set the ball for his teammates, resulting in several attacks.
However, Ben Hamer, who replaced Schmeichel in the starting lineup, was extremely excited and blocked all the shots.
Although the number of shots is increasing, they are still unable to break through Leicester City's goal.
As time passed bit by bit, Stoke City's players gradually began to become impatient, and the movements of their hands and feet became larger and larger.
Perhaps it was the bias of the home whistle, or perhaps the referee's inaction made the Stoke City players become more unscrupulous.
And Ling Feng, the core of Leicester City, has become the target of frequent violations!
Ling Feng also felt the opponent's sudden increase in intensity and did not dare to neglect. He began to reduce the time he held the ball and shot the ball as much as possible.
Until the 70th minute of the game, when Ling Feng turned around to pull the ball and was shoveled to the ground by Shawcross, Pearson, who had always been calm on the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore!
Made, you dare to shovel my baby? !
In one swift step, he reached the fourth official and protested in a deep voice:
"Hey! Did you see it? This is a dangerous move!"
Facing the angry Pearson, the fourth official was stunned for a moment, raised his hand slightly, pressed it down, and said in relief:
"Relax, the referee saw it."
This very obvious foul finally caused the referee to blow the whistle.
I saw him trotting to the "crime scene" and directly showed a topaz God of War card to Shawcross!
This flying tackle did not tackle the ball, but directly overturned Ling Feng, thus interrupting Leicester City's offensive progress.
The yellow card is not unjust at all.
Lying on his side on the turf, Ling Feng frowned, his expression slightly painful.
[Retaliation Card] was not triggered.
It can be seen that Shawcross' sliding tackle was not a malicious foul.
It was simply that Ling Feng was faster than him and moved the ball forward, causing Shawcross' sliding tackle to be half a beat slower.
Even so, Ling Feng still felt a burning pain in his calf, so he had to rub it hard to relieve the pain as much as possible.
Upon seeing this, Pearson on the sidelines immediately waved to the team doctor and let him in.
Watching the team doctor spray pain relief spray on Ling Feng's calf, Shakespeare, another Blue Fox assistant coach, immediately came to Pearson and suggested in a low voice:
"Nigel, we'd better replace Ling before he gets hurt!"
"If we go down, our control in the midfield will definitely decrease significantly, which will give the ball to the opponent."
"Let Wood go up and play double center with Ulloa, then the two wingers pull back to the center circle, and directly pass the ball behind them from the backcourt!"
Hearing this, Pearson also felt that it made sense.
Already leading by two goals, they also have the capital to make rotations and adjustments.
Although there are still twenty minutes left in the game, the opponent has enough time to equalize the score or even take the lead.
However, compared to winning this game, he was more concerned about whether Ling Feng was injured!
If Ling Feng is injured, it will affect more than just a league game.
Moreover, in a few days, they have to travel to Warsaw to participate in the historic first round of the Europa League group stage.
As the core and top player of the team, Ling Feng cannot be absent!
Ever since, he made a prompt decision and immediately asked backup forward Chris Wood to warm up.
Then use the communication headset to ask the team doctor on the field to delay for a few seconds.
Two minutes later, Leicester City directly made substitutions!
When Ling Feng, covered in grass clippings, limped off the field, Pearson immediately greeted him and asked with concern: "Ling, are you okay? Are you injured?"
Facing the head coach's concern, Ling Feng smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. I just got hit and my calf hurts a little."
Hearing this, Pearson finally felt relieved.
"Well, I'll do a detailed inspection when I get back. Well done, let's go and rest first!"
"OK."
After replacing Ling Feng with substitute center Chris Wood, Leicester City changed their formation to a parallel position of 442. Like Stoke City, they played a traditional British tactic - long pass and lob!
For a time, the ball kept flying back and forth over the Britannia Stadium, rarely landing.
Both sides chose to take the ball directly from the backcourt or the wing to the frontcourt, allowing the center to fight for opportunities.
The core of the long pass and lob tactics requires the center to have outstanding personal abilities.
He can hold up the opponent's defender, or roll forward like a tank to complete the shot; or he can help his teammates with the ball like a tower.
The most perfect center forward template for long pass and lob tactics is the "Warcraft" Didier Drogba from Chelsea!
However, compared to Stoke City's single arrow, the 33-year-old "Tall Man" Crouch, Leicester City's double centers Ulloa and Wood are younger and more impactful!
Although both of them are high forward players, Ulloa's movement in front of the goal is not slow.
Wood mainly grabs the first landing point of the high ball, while Ulloa provides support beside him, and then waits for an opportunity to shoot.
This double-height combination created a lot of threats in Stoke City's defense.
It also made Stoke City fearful and did not dare to fully attack.
Until the referee finally blew the long whistle to end the game, Stoke City could not penetrate the goal guarded by the Blue Fox's second goalkeeper Ben Hamer.
The score of two to zero remained until the final whistle.
They can not only upset the defending champion at the Etihad, but also lose to the newly promoted team at home by two goals.
Lack of stability is the key to limiting Stoke City's progress in the standings!
In particular, the problem of weak frontcourt offense still troubles Mark Hughes.
Their leading striker Crouch is in poor form and has not scored in four consecutive rounds since the start of the season.
Bojan and Diouf, who have just joined, have not yet integrated into the team's system, plus Arnautovic, who cannot score goals.
"Sky City" has many famous players, but they are unable to break through the opponent's goal
After the game, Ling Feng, who passed and shot every time, unsurprisingly won the best of the match!
However, due to some muscle pain, Ling Feng did not accept the post-match interview.
However, this actually made many reporters nervous.
At the press conference, Sky Sports reporters also immediately asked about Ling Feng's situation.
As the hottest star in the Premier League and England, Ling Feng is almost the best among all English players of the same age group.
none of them!
While most of the players of the same age group are still struggling for their playing time, Ling Feng has become the absolute core of the Premier League team Leicester City, the team's thigh!
In the eyes of many people in English football, as long as Ling Feng maintains his current growth rate, he will inevitably become the core midfielder leading the Three Lions into a new era!
They certainly don't want to see Ling Feng's career development affected by injuries.
This is a huge loss for the Premier League and the Three Lions!
Faced with the concerns of reporters, Pearson also told the truth:
"He is fine. He just feels a little uncomfortable in his muscles. We will check him carefully after we go back."
After easily defeating Stoke City and winning the second league victory of the season, Ling Feng did not forget to take a photo with Ulloa in the locker room, who also passed and shot in the game, and then posted them to Twitter, INS and Facebook on three social media accounts.
It is worth mentioning that since being promoted to the Premier League, Ling Feng has found that his social media fans have increased very quickly.
At least two or three times faster than before in the British Championship!
He did some research and found that every time he participated in a league game, his number of fans would skyrocket.
He has reason to believe that it is because of his performance on the court that he conquered the opponents' fans and made them his fans!
As of September 14, including Twitter, Ling Feng’s total social media followers exceeded 8 million.
There are over 5 million on Twitter, 1 million on Facebook, and over 1 million on INS.
Especially INS, the world’s largest selfie social platform.
Although the account has just been created for more than a month, since most of the users are young people under the age of thirty, they use it frequently every day.
In addition, Ling Feng is similar in age to them, which gives them a sense of closeness as peers, making his popularity rise as fast as a rocket.
Although it is not as many as Melo's more than 100 million social media fans, it is also not as famous as Bale who became famous in the Premier League and joined Real Madrid, Neymar, the new leader of the Selecao, and James Rodriguez who emerged in the World Cup in Brazil. .
However, his number of social media fans is the largest among all English players, second only to the retired Beckham, Shuang De and Lu Xiaopang, ranking fifth!
This is enough to prove how popular he is in England!
We are getting closer and closer to reaching 10 million fans on social media.
According to the previous system reward inference, every time the number of fans reaches 10,000, 100,000, or 1 million, an achievement can be completed.
Then, when social media fans exceed 10 million, he will definitely be able to receive corresponding rewards.
He was looking forward to this.
What exactly will the reward for millions of fans be?
. . .
Taking the team bus back to Belvoir Base, Pearson immediately asked the team doctor to conduct a detailed examination of Ling Feng.
And the results are gratifying:
There is nothing wrong with Ling Feng!
He can definitely appear in the first game of the Europa League in a few days!
After completing the physical examination, everyone went back to their homes with a relaxed mood.
The next day.
Half past eight in the morning.
Ling Feng drove his black Land Rover to the Belvoir base.
However, when he changed into long-sleeved training clothes, came to the base canteen, and enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast, the club's marketing department staff found him.
"Ling, after you finish breakfast, go to the media room with Jamie and Riyad to shoot something."
"What to shoot?"
"A small clip to help promote FIFA. You will know the specific process later."
Hearing this, Ling Feng nodded, seeming to understand.
As one of the two giants of football games, the new generation of FIFA 15 will be officially released next week.
For the sake of sales, of course we need to link up with real clubs and stars to increase publicity.
When Ling Feng finished breakfast and arrived at the media room on time, he found that Vardy and Mahrez were already inside.
A camera was pointed at three shelves.
On each shelf is a player card with photos of Ling Feng's three faces printed on it.
Looking at his player card, Ling Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
So handsome!
"Hey guys"
After bumping into each other and saying hello, Ling Feng immediately asked, "What's going on?"
When asked, Vardy shrugged and then explained:
"FIFA sent us player cards, and then the club planned to let us shoot a short clip where we would guess each other's player ratings and various values."
"Oh, I see."
Ling Feng and Mahrez both showed expressions of realization.
"Did you also shoot last year?"
"No, maybe it's because we were promoted to the Premier League this year and everyone's ratings have gone up."
After a pause, Vardy turned to look at Ling Feng and joked: "Or maybe it's because you have too many fans, so you asked us to take a photo specifically for publicity."
"Yes, I just saw it yesterday. In less than two months, your Instagram already has one million followers!"
Mahrez joined this world's best-selling football game as early as FIFA12, and Vardy has joined in FIFA13.
The ratings of the two last year were not high, both were over 60.
This is Ling Feng's first time joining the game, and he is very much looking forward to seeing what EA's overall rating for his players will be.
According to FIFA's overall rating standards, only players with an overall rating of 74 or above will receive a gold card.
If the overall rating is seventy-four and below, it is a silver card.
Judging from the colors of the three player cards alone, Vardy and Mahrez both have silver cards, and Ling Feng is the only gold card.
This actually revealed the general comments of the three people.
However, the three of them calmed down their feelings about Xiao Jiujiu and faced the camera and started filming.
FIFA player cards have six values, namely speed, dribbling, shooting, passing, defense, and body.
"Guys, first let's guess how fast Vardy is?"
Faced with this question, Ling Feng was the first to respond:
"At least eighty-five!"
"I think so too, at least eighty-five."
"Jamie, what do you think?"
Touching his chin, Vardy said confidently:
"I was only seventy-five last season. I think this season, EA should have seen that my speed is more than that low. I think eighty-eight is about the same."
"Eighty-eight? Are you the fastest player on the team?"
"Of course not. The fastest guy on the team is the guy next to me."
After saying that, Vardy pointed to Ling Feng beside him.
This answer surprised the FIFA operator.
In his impression, whether in the World Cup or the Premier League, Ling Feng rarely sprinted long distances on the court.
But Vardy said he was the fastest player in the team? !
Could it be that he is hiding his own strength? !
Secretly suppressing the doubts in his heart, the operation staff continued to ask questions.
Following the questions and answers and the banter of the three, the various values of Vardy and Mahrez as well as the overall player evaluation were revealed one after another.
Vardy's overall rating rose from 67 in the previous version to 72;
Mahrez's overall rating rose from 68 in the previous version to 73.
As Leicester City won the English Championship and FA Cup double last season as the main contributors, their overall ratings have increased by five points.
Finally, it was Ling Feng's turn.
Holding his silver card and looking at Ling Feng's gold card, Vardy's tone was full of sourness:
"The gold card is just different."
What surprised all three of them was that, thanks to his amazing performance in the World Cup and the Premier League, Ling Feng's FIFA player rating reached an astonishing eighty!
And he is also the only player in the Leicester City team with an overall rating of 80!
