"The ball is in!"
"The scorer was No. 7, Ling~~~"
Along with the extended tones of the on-site DJ, more than 20,000 home team fans at the King Power Stadium followed in unison:
"peak!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he gave this blue fox darling the warmest applause!
Amidst the applause, Ling Feng ran to the stands on the sidelines and paused.
Then he raised his arms and waved to the parents in the VIP stands!
While waving, he did not forget to say loudly:
"This is for you!"
The live broadcast footage was also very interesting and focused on Ling Feng's parents in the stands.
I saw Lingshan and Julia in the stands, their faces full of relief.
Julia, who has always been quiet, jumped up and down and waved to her son, while not forgetting to remind her husband beside her:
"Hubby, Xiaofeng scored a goal! He is saying hello to us! Wave with me!"
Hearing this, Lingshan, who was relatively calm, also waved his hands with a smile on his face, full of pride in his heart.
This kid Afeng really brings face to our family!
This scene was faithfully recorded by live footage.
Even the commentator Martin Taylor couldn't help but sigh:
"Oh, what a warm and loving picture!"
"Ling Feng gave this goal to his parents!"
After dedicating his third Premier League goal to his parents, Ling Feng was surrounded by his teammates as soon as he turned around.
Hugs for hugs, head pats for head pats.
After finally escaping from the "siege" of his teammates, Ling Feng saw Emperor Lin standing in front of him with a smile on his face.
The two looked at each other, smiled, and then high-fived each other.
After completing a set of hip-hop greetings, Ling Feng gave a thumbs up and praised:
"Jesse, your inverted triangle pass is so comfortable!"
"That's it!"
"Let them see that you are definitely capable of playing in any Premier League team!"
Ling Feng's encouragement just touched Lingard's heart!
The reason why he was loaned to Leicester City from Manchester United was, of course, to get stability and enough playing time.
However, Lingard is also holding back his energy and wants to prove his ability to Manchester United.
His goal from the beginning to the end is to gain a foothold at Manchester United, and then step by step to establish himself and become Manchester United's starter or even the main force!
Lingard also believes that he has enough strength to have a place in the first team.
But Manchester United doesn't think so.
Because, if Manchester United really values him, there will definitely be a place for him in the first team, and it will be impossible for him to be loaned out.
Therefore, in Lingard's view, this direct confrontation with Manchester United is an excellent opportunity for him to prove himself to Manchester United's senior management and coach!
"Yes! I will!"
Only seven minutes into the game, Leicester City scored the first goal at home!
As for this result, neither the famous players of Manchester United, all the visiting team fans, nor the Manchester United players on the field expected it.
In their eyes, they are the Red Devils Manchester United!
The opponent is just a newly promoted team that has just been promoted to the Premier League. Even if they perform amazingly in the first few rounds, it does not mean that they are a team of players that can gain a foothold in the Premier League.
But now, this newly promoted team actually dares to launch a fierce attack on itself? !
And he scored first!
In fact, the vast majority of Manchester United celebrities and fans, even after experiencing the trough of Moyes, are still immersed in the past glory of the "Premier League Overlord"!
Although the old Scottish man with the red nose was no longer sitting on the coaching bench.
However, they still believe that Manchester United will return to the top of the Premier League under the leadership of world-famous Dutch coach Louis van Gaal!
Van Gaal was obviously surprised when he conceded the ball first.
However, after more than 20 years of coaching, what kind of storms have you not seen?
He did not blame the disciples, but came to the sidelines, applauded and encouraged them.
"It doesn't matter! Just play according to our tactics!"
The tactical formation of the diamond-shaped midfielder is originally intended to give up space on the wings to a certain extent.
It is also expected that the opponent will make full use of the width of the wing to combine the wing and the center.
What's more, Leicester City's offensive firepower is not weak!
Eight goals were scored in four rounds, averaging two goals per game.
The number of goals scored in the league is second only to Chelsea, which scored a terrifying fifteen goals in four rounds, and tied for second with Southampton and Swansea.
Even more than the number of goals scored by defending champion Manchester City, which has Aguero, Dzeko, etc.!
The Blue Fox frontcourt quartet headed by Ling Feng scored goals in all four rounds.
This means that the four frontcourt players all have the ability to attack the goal.
Leicester City's offensive firepower is not limited to Vardy's single arrow, making it difficult for opponents to defend when defending.
Not only must he follow the forward Vardy who pulls the movement, but he must also keep an eye on the incisions or crosses of the two wingers Mahrez and Lingard.
Of course, the most threatening thing is naturally the soul of the team who connects the frontcourt offense and can also insert shots from time to time - Ling Feng!
Considering that the opponent's offense is not weak and they have the home court advantage, Van Gaal is already convinced that Leicester City will never retreat into their own half after scoring a goal, but will pursue the victory and continue to attack!
And he guessed it right!
After Manchester United kicked off the ball in the center circle, the Blue Fox continued to maintain an aggressive high-pressure tactic, and the formation suddenly came over.
And Ling Feng’s voice was extremely clear on the court:
"Force me!"
"nice shot!"
"Don't let him hit the ball easily!"
Although the team captain is Morgan.
However, the commanding responsibility of the midfield and frontcourt fell on the shoulders of this 19-year-old young man from the moment he established Lingfeng's core position in tactics.
With high hopes from the club and head coach, Ling Feng shouldered the responsibility of leading the team's offense.
Possessing [God's Vision], he can observe the movement of everyone on the court and direct his teammates to attack or defend by shouting.
In this way, the entire team can be integrated into a whole and work hard in one place!
Under the high pressure of the Blue Fox, Manchester United's defenders did not dare to hold the ball too much. They could only pick up the ball from the backcourt many times and hoist the ball to the frontcourt, allowing Robin van Persie and Falcao to grab the ball.
However, in the hand-to-hand combat with the two muscular men, Morgan and Moore, they did not have much advantage.
The forwards in the frontcourt cannot hold the ball at all, and a long pass from the backcourt is equivalent to giving up the ball.
Soon, seeing his team being suppressed by the opponent and barely able to provide effective ground coordination, Van Gaal immediately came to the sidelines and shouted to Di Maria who was nearby:
"Angel, go back and catch the ball!"
"Wayne! Drop back more and catch the ball!"
Although Manchester United stacked up to six players in the middle.
However, the only person who can really dribble the ball in the middle is one and a half people.
Di Maria is alone, and Rooney, whose ability on the ball has greatly declined, counts as half.
Although it is clear that as long as Di Maria is restricted, Manchester United's central attack will not be able to move forward smoothly.
However, knowing and doing it are two different things!
In terms of personal ability in a single round, the double midfielder partnership of Brother Drinker and the already 34-year-old Cambiasso couldn't guard against Di Maria and Rooney who came from the side.
In addition, the lateral movement of the two forwards Van Persie and Falcao attracted the defense of the central defender and opened up space in the middle. Manchester United was able to repeatedly penetrate Leicester City's central defense!
In the 20th minute of the game, the Red Devils equalized the score:
Di Maria once again dribbled the ball in the middle, and before Drinkwater and Cambiasso joined forces again, he passed the ball to Rooney who was connecting on the side, and then continued to move forward.
And Rooney didn't want to be greedy for credit. He pushed the ball forward without stopping. After a simple one-two, Di Maria took the ball again at the front of the penalty area and advanced.
At the same time, Van Persie and Falcao ran to both sides at the same time, pulling the two Blue Fox center backs apart, clearing a path for Di Maria to enter the penalty area.
Faced with the attacking Schmeichel, Di Maria had an idea and directly raised the toe of his left foot.
The ball soared into the air, just past Schmeichel's raised hands, and fell into the empty goal behind him!
"Goal!!!"
"A genius shot!"
"He is indeed a super player who won the Champions League last season!"
"Manchester United has got its angel wings and is ready to soar again!"
After scoring the goal, Di Maria immediately made his signature celebration gesture - a heart with wings.
Then, he excitedly rushed all the way to the red stand where the fans of the away team were, and opened his arms to accept the cheers of the fans.
Looking at Di Maria's back, Ling Feng also sighed in his heart:
I have to say, Di Maria’s kick was so cool!
However, after being equalized, except for Schmeichel who was a little depressed after returning to the starting lineup, the Leicester City generals did not feel that there was anything to be frustrated about.
Manchester United is the most valuable club in the Premier League, and they are the last promoted team.
The worth of Rooney and Di Maria alone is equivalent to the worth of their entire team!
And in the past ten minutes, they have played back and forth with Manchester United, which is pretty good.
Besides, the game has just begun and they still have plenty of time to take the lead again.
However, what they didn't expect was that it was not themselves who took the lead again, but the unyielding Red Devils!
In the 33rd minute of the game, the two sides started fighting in the midfield.
In the fierce fight, Manchester United midfielder Blind suddenly made a long pass over the head, and the ball flew towards Leicester City's backcourt.
Moore wanted to jump up and clear the ball immediately, but due to Falcao's interference, he unexpectedly jumped up!
Then, Van Persie reacted quickly, followed the ball into the penalty area, and before Morgan stretched his feet to clear the ball, he volleyed the ball without stopping and shot directly!
The ball turned into a cannonball and blasted towards the goal.
Schmeichel didn't even have time to make a save. He just subconsciously raised his hand and felt a strong wind passing above his head, and the ball had already entered the net.
Turning around to look, the ball just rolled slowly out of the goal and came to his feet.
At this point, with Robin van Persie's iconic volley shot, the Red Devils Manchester United took the lead in the away game!
After scoring his first league goal this season, Van Persie was extremely excited and ran directly to the corner flag area, doing a handsome kneeling move.
Moore cannot be entirely blamed for this goal.
Super stars, the reason why they are superstars is that they have the ability to change the situation on the field in an instant!
The blame lies with Van Persie for seizing an opportunity that was not an opportunity.
Sensing that the morale of his teammates was declining, Ling Feng quickly spoke out to encourage his teammates:
"It doesn't matter!"
"It's not like we haven't fallen behind before. Just score one more and catch up!"
Although Manchester United's four frontcourt superstars are very aggressive in offense, except for Di Maria, who is new to the team and often returns to defense in Real Madrid, they are not among the frontcourt players who are willing to expend their energy on defense.
Van Persie and Falcao do not have the willingness and physical ability to press in the frontcourt, nor the enthusiasm to return to defense.
And because Rooney is the boss and captain of the team, and he is leading the score, he doesn't tend to return to defense.
Three of the four superstars in the frontcourt did not actively return to defense. As a result, when Manchester United's attack was interrupted or the ball was lost, the number of defenders in the midfield would be reduced to three, unable to cover too much area.
Leicester City took advantage of this opportunity to switch offense and defense when the opponent's midfield defense was empty, and launched a beautiful quick counterattack:
In the 42nd minute of the game, Rooney's pass from the front was intended to be passed to Falcao, but Moore cleverly intercepted it.
The latter immediately passed the ball to Ling Feng in front.
With his back turned, Ling Feng used a [pull the ball back] and passed Herrera who rushed forward immediately.
Although Herrera stretched out his hand to pull the jersey. However, the muscle gain during this period has improved his weight and body balance.
After staggering slightly, Ling Feng quickly regained his balance.
Following Herrera's attack, Lingard on the left side of the frontcourt entered the unmarked space!
Ling Feng also made a diagonal pass without hesitation, sending a comfortable ball in front of Lingard who was starting from the left wing.
After getting the ball, Lin Huang once again got a one-on-one opportunity with Rafael!
Come again? !
This time, I won't let you pass so easily!
Just when Rafael was staring at Lingard's ankle movements and mentally determined that "the ball can't pass even if it passes people", Lingard chose to make an emergency stop.
Then, he directly passed the ball across the ball and handed the ball to Ling Feng who came in from behind!
Unknowingly, Blue Fox No. 7 once again came to the area at the front of the penalty area.
The last scene of losing the ball is still vivid in my mind.
De Gea's eyes narrowed on the goal line, and he immediately warned his teammates loudly:
"Don't let him get up!"
At the same time, Manchester United's defense commander Evans immediately called out to his central defender partner Blackett:
"Tyler! Get on top!"
Manchester United's pair of central defenders, the faster Blackett is a high-speed tackle type, while the slower Evans is responsible for filling in.
Facing the charging Blackett, Ling Feng took a step laterally. After attracting the attention of Blackett and even Evans, he sent a diagonal pass from the penalty area!
Vardy, who was unmarked, received the ball and shot low!
The distance was too close. Even though De Gea used his unique skill of "duck sitting", he couldn't stop the ball from flying past his feet and into the goal!
It is worth mentioning that it was not until the ball was scored that Robin van Persie, Falcao, and Rooney, the three frontcourt men, could not return to the defense near the center circle.
This scene made Van Gaal very angry on the sidelines. He spread his hands and complained to his assistant:
"Made, these bastards don't even defend themselves."
With Vardy's goal, the two sides returned to the same starting line again!
In the few minutes left in the first half, the two sides seemed to be negotiating and suddenly slowed down the pace.
After all, they had been fighting for forty minutes, and they had to take a breather.
Finally, with referee Clattenburg's whistle, the ups and downs of the first half came to an end.
Both the fans at the scene and the audience in front of the TV were all hooked on this first half!
In the forty-five minutes of the first half, the game between the two sides was fast-paced, the offense and defense transitioned quickly, and goals came one after another.
The two protagonists, the Red Devils and the Blue Fox, put on a great show for the fans, and jointly contributed four goals.
And all of them are wonderful!
Fans can no longer imagine what the final score of this game will be.
