The presence of beautiful supermodels to watch the game is just a small episode in the game.
Ling Feng, who was concentrating on the game, didn't notice the big screen.
Of course, he would never have imagined that the beautiful supermodel he met in Milan would be sitting in the stands cheering for him at this moment!
However, even though Leicester City firmly controlled the ball and occupied the initiative on the field.
However, Crystal Palace's defense is full of tall, British-style central defenders.
High passes from the wings on both sides could not pass the defender's head!
In desperation, Ling Feng could only change his passing technique and use De Bruyne's signature half-high arcing pass.
But such a pass also tests the receiver's reaction.
The ball was too fast. Although the goalkeeper did not dare to attack, the defender did not dare to stretch his feet to make a clearance.
But Ulloa, who is surrounded by two central defenders, does not have the speed of Vardy to grab the first place for the cross.
Moreover, whenever Ling Feng and Konokat switch positions and come to the right wing, they will be double-teamed by the two people, preventing him from easily making a pass.
With his explosiveness and speed, Ling Feng is almost at the top in the entire Premier League.
However, every time he tried to make soup from the wing, he would be overhand or thrown by his opponent, knocking him to the ground!
What's even more terrible is that the referee of this game obviously came with a mission.
Many obvious foul actions by Crystal Palace players were considered by the referee to be reasonable collisions.
A foul that warrants a card will only result in a verbal warning.
On the contrary, the normal confrontation between Leicester City players was considered a foul!
Such an obvious home whistle further encouraged the Crystal Palace players to commit fouls!
It wasn't until Ling Feng fell to the ground after being violated for the sixth time that the referee, surrounded by the furious Blue Fox players, finally reluctantly showed a yellow card to Crystal Palace midfielder MacArthur!
In the stands where the visiting team fans were, the fans looked at Ling Feng lying on the ground with great concern.
Barbara is no exception.
Those blue eyes were filled with worry.
She couldn't help but turn around and ask the female assistant beside her: "Why do those people have to foul him?"
"I can't help it, who made him so powerful!"
Hearing this, Barbara just nodded in understanding.
As Ling Feng stood up slowly with the support of his teammates, Barbara's heart was relieved.
The visiting team fans then gave a burst of warm applause.
At the same time, Pearson on the sidelines rushed to the fourth official and protested loudly:
"Hey! Are you kicking a ball or kicking someone?!"
"Mr. Pearson, please calm down."
"I'm calm. I just want to know why Crystal Palace players didn't show any signs of violating my players like this?!"
Of course, such protests are fruitless.
Returning to the bench with a displeased look on his face, Pearson had just sat down when he heard Walsh, who had always had a good temper, vomiting something sweet:
"What the hell!"
"What are these referees talking about!"
With Leicester City performing well, the rest of the Premier League will certainly be looking at them across the board.
As the core of Leicester City's team, Ling Feng will definitely be restricted and targeted by various teams.
Rough fouls are definitely the most effective of all methods!
Playing in the Premier League, you would be embarrassed to say that you are the core of the team unless you are violated by your opponents five or six times per game.
Intrusion doesn't matter.
There are also many teams with rough and dirty playing styles.
The point is that the home whistle is just disgusting.
This away game against Crystal Palace may be the most difficult game Leicester City has played since being promoted to the Premier League.
It was also the most frustrating game for Ling Feng!
"Are you okay?"
Facing the concern from his teammates, Ling Feng just shook his head, "It's okay."
At this moment, he was finally able to understand the mood of Hazard, Neymar, Messi and other dribbling masters.
Why do opponents keep roughing them and fouling them?
Because only by doing this can we stop them!
However, Ling Feng did not expect that he would enjoy such treatment so quickly.
However, the fact that the opponents are targeting themselves in this way further proves that their abilities scare them!
Although he does not have the superb foot skills like Hazard, Neymar and Messi.
However, his mind is not stupid.
On the court, it is not just those who have dribbled that can defeat their opponents.
Since the cross from the wing cannot be scored, then change the tactics!
However, before Ling Feng could discuss it with his teammates, Crystal Palace was the first to seize the few opportunities!
In the 32nd minute of the game, Bolasie broke through on the left side of the frontcourt, causing the Blue Fox right back De Wright to pass the ball out of the baseline.
Crystal Palace got the first corner kick opportunity of the game on the left side of the frontcourt.
Set-piece opportunities are definitely a favorable means for Crystal Palace to score goals.
In addition to a few small men in the frontcourt, their midfielder plus three defenders are all over 1.9 meters tall!
As Bolasie drove the ball into the penalty area, the crowded penalty area suddenly fell into chaos.
In the midst of the chaos, Crystal Palace right back Joel Ward, who is 1.86 meters tall, jumped up and looked back at the moon!
The ball drew a parabola in mid-air, just passed Schmeichel's raised right hand, and was hoisted into the goal.
In this way, Crystal Palace, which was suppressed by Leicester City, took advantage of the set-piece opportunity and took the lead at home!
As Crystal Palace scored first, Selhurst Park instantly erupted into a burst of enthusiastic cheers!
Ling Feng, who was standing at the front of the penalty area, looked at the Crystal Palace players celebrating wildly at their home court. He couldn't help but pursed his lips with a serious expression.
He wasn't angry or frustrated.
Because, football is like this, no one knows what will happen in the next second.
There are many laws in the football world.
One of them is that if the dominant side continues to waste opportunities, it will definitely be punished!
Being behind is not terrible.
The key is what they should do to equalize the score or even overtake it!
While his opponent was celebrating, he called Ulloa, Albrighton, and Conoket to his side to discuss countermeasures.
In short, let the two wingers increase the penetration of the ribs, and then make more direct passes in the middle to find Ulloa.
Then Ulloa turned his back to play the ball and took a long shot from behind.
Seeing this, Pearson on the sidelines also realized that Ling Feng might have thought of some way to change the current problem of being unable to open up the offense.
Therefore, he did not call the players, but allowed them to play freely on the court.
As Crystal Palace took the lead at home, the home team fans began to sing the team song "Glad all over" in unison.
However, after kicking off again, the Leicester City generals were surprised to find that Crystal Palace actually changed to 451, and then retreated most of the players to their own half!
Only the fastest Bolasie was left in front, like a black cheetah, wandering around the two Blue Fox central defenders, waiting for counterattack opportunities at any time.
As Crystal Palace gave up the ball, Leicester City's possession rate surged and they launched a siege in the frontcourt.
But Crystal Palace shrank its defense in its own half, and the space became extremely narrow, making it impossible to penetrate through passes.
In desperation, Leicester City could only use short passes from the outside to constantly pull and dispatch the opponent's defense line, looking for opportunities.
The Crystal Palace side did not press forward easily, but strictly maintained a defensive formation.
Once the ball is intercepted, just drive forward and look for Bolasie!
Let Bolasie use his speed and dribbling to create a threat to Leicester City's defense!
For a time, the court turned into a relatively boring half-time offensive and defensive drill.
Neither the Crystal Palace players nor the fans felt ashamed at all about the behavior of setting up a bus immediately after taking the lead at home.
The players and fans of Crystal Palace have a clear understanding of their positioning.
This is only their second year back in the Premier League.
After experiencing no wins in the first four rounds, they know very well that their team is still a team in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.
We still have to fight for relegation this season!
And head coach Warnock also knows very well that if he wants to stay in the Premier League, he must win every precious point!
And newly promoted teams like Leicester City are the ones who can score points!
So, in order to win, it doesn’t matter if the scene is ugly.
After all, if you want to win the game and win the beauty, it is not that easy to do.
As Leicester City's passing numbers continue to increase, time is also passing by bit by bit.
Soon, the referee blew the half-time whistle!
. . .
"In the first half, we were the better team in terms of shots and ball possession."
"Only at the final goal, we still need to do better."
After returning to the locker room, Pearson first affirmed the players' performance on the court.
Then he comforted the players, saying that the missed goal was just bad luck.
Then, he asked Ling Feng if he had thought of any countermeasures.
Ling Feng also truthfully stated his thoughts.
After listening, Pearson looked at the 19-year-old core player with admiration and publicly affirmed his ability to read the game.
Then, based on Ling Feng's tactical ideas, two tasks were added: "creating set-piece opportunities" and "more long-range shots".
The conventional means of breaking through dense defense are nothing more than long-range shots, set kicks and personal explosions.
Moreover, this is not the first time that they have controlled a large amount of the ball and forced their opponents into a frantic siege in the half-court.
This game reminded Leicester City players of their wonderful time in the British Championship.
In the British Championship, those relatively weak teams adopted the strategy of retreating to the half-court when facing the full-power Blue Fox.
I just didn't expect that after being promoted to the higher level of the Premier League, they would actually pin down their opponents in the half-time and frantically attack them!
In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again.
Leicester City continued to firmly occupy the initiative on the field.
As for the tactical changes, in addition to the two wingers reducing crosses, increasing dribbling, and creating set-piece opportunities in the frontcourt as much as possible, Lingfeng also increased the wall-breaking cooperation with Ulloa in the middle.
After the Argentinian caught the ball with his back in the penalty area, he knocked the ball back immediately and set up a long-range shot for Ling Feng who came in behind!
In just ten minutes after the start of the second half, Ling Feng made several long-range shots from outside the penalty area.
Either it was blocked by the defender, or it was turned away by the goalkeeper.
Although he didn't score directly, he tested the Crystal Palace goalkeeper many times.
Leicester City's fierce attacks one after another overwhelmed Crystal Palace.
The home team fans in the stadium also felt the team's enthusiasm and applauded the team's successful defense time and time again.
The fans of the away team are also in high morale and continue to cheer for the players on the field.
In football, in addition to strength, there are many factors that affect the outcome of the game.
Among them, the cheering of the fans is also a huge motivation for the players running on the field.
Barbara, who was watching a Premier League game for the first time, was gradually infected by the atmosphere of the game and has become a qualified fan.
Seeing Ling Feng's shot being saved, she, like other visiting team fans, sighed with regret;
Seeing Crystal Palace counterattack with a long pass from the backcourt will also make Leicester City sweat.
And even the strongest city can sometimes be breached.
Finally, after persisting until the 80th minute, the tenacious Crystal Palace still showed a flaw:
Leicester City received a corner kick opportunity on the right side of the frontcourt.
Ling Feng took a corner kick and the ball flew straight towards the crowd in the penalty area.
Moore at the near post jumped up first, trying to grab the first point, but failed to hit the ball.
But it was this jump that shook the Crystal Palace players. No one hit the ball. Instead, the ball accidentally hit Morgan's subconsciously stretched thigh, and the ball refracted into the goal. !
In this way, Leicester City finally equalized the score after thirty-five minutes of fierce attack in the second half!
Morgan, who scored the goal, picked up the ball directly from the goal and ran towards the center circle.
Obviously, his body language is sending a very clear message to his teammates and fans:
We don’t want a draw, we want a victory!
Under the influence of the captain, the Leicester City players simply high-fived the captain, returned to their own half, and waited until Crystal Palace kicked off.
After equalizing the score, Leicester City's generals were highly motivated and even more aggressive.
However, when the game time came to the 88th minute, under the pressure of Bolasie, right back De Wright accidentally kicked the ball out of his own baseline when he passed back to the goalkeeper in panic. Gave the opponent a corner kick.
This corner kick added a bit of drama to the outcome of this game, and also gave the home team the possibility of winning the game!
For Crystal Palace, which aims to score points against Leicester City, getting a point at home is not just thirsty.
"Get up!"
"All up!"
Ever since, under the command of the head coach on the sidelines, almost everyone in Crystal Palace rushed to the frontcourt, ready to take advantage of this corner kick opportunity.
Only one relatively fast full-back Joel Ward and the goalkeeper were left in the backcourt.
The corner kick taken by Pang Qiong was of very average quality and did not find his own man. Instead, Moore headed the ball out immediately.
The ball came just outside the penalty area at the feet of Mahrez, who had just been replaced ten minutes ago.
He took the ball, turned around, and looked forward.
I saw a brown figure, advancing at high speed with an indomitable momentum!
The number printed on the back is exactly seven!
It's Ling Feng!
Seeing this, Mahrez didn't hesitate at all and directly made a long pass!
"Ling!!!"
The ball drew a perfect parabola over the court and landed just on the left side of Crystal Palace's backcourt.
In an instant, the offense and defense of both sides reversed!
Ling Feng, who was running forward, and Joel Ward, the last defensive player in the Crystal Palace backcourt, were all sprinting to get the ball first.
However, to the despair of all the home team fans and Ward, Ling Feng got the ball like a bolt of lightning, several positions ahead of Ward.
The race has already been eighty-eight minutes, why can he still run so fast? !
