The away team took the lead just four minutes into the game.
Both Queens Park Rangers coach Old Redknapp and the more than 10,000 home team fans in the stands suddenly felt something was wrong.
This season, Leicester City's offensive football is eye-catching.
Regardless of whether the opponent is a BIG6 giant or a mid-to-lower relegation team, they all adopt a strategy of attacking instead of defending.
Even if you lose, you still lose standing!
In other words, after scoring a goal, they will never be satisfied!
Sure enough, after QPR kicked off from the center circle, Leicester City's entire formation once again passed the center circle line and headed towards QPR's position.
The four players in the frontcourt, led by Vardy, rushed towards the QPR ball-carrying player in an organized manner as if they were crazy.
Compared with the last meeting in the English Championship a few months ago, this time, QPR players clearly felt a stronger sense of oppression on the court!
Before they could raise their heads to observe, red figures appeared in front of them.
Without giving them much time to think, they rushed towards them!
Seeing this, the right back holding the ball was startled at first, and then immediately passed the ball to the nearby "bad boy" Joey Barton.
However, before he could step forward to catch the ball, another red figure had already rushed behind him!
"careful!"
Button didn't pay too much attention to his teammates' reminder.
Having played more than 100 games in the Premier League, what star has he not encountered?
Use your body to protect the ball. Even if Yaya Toure comes behind you, you can't even try to steal it.
However, just when he was about to swing his leg to pass the ball back to the defender, he suddenly felt a cold feeling under his crotch.
When he looked down, he saw a long leg stretching out from between his legs, and then he poked the ball away with his toes!
Wang Defa? !
Just when he was stunned, a red figure flew past him.
The big number 7 on the back of the jersey shows the identity of the person who made the steal.
It's Ling Feng!
"Mad! Brat!"
Seeing that Ling Feng was about to dribble the ball forward, Barton didn't know whether he was angry because he was intercepted, or he felt that he couldn't let Ling Feng move forward and face the back line.
He made a decision immediately:
He took a direct step forward, grabbed Ling Feng's waist with both hands, and gave him a hard hug.
"ah!"
With a scream, Ling Feng fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the referee's whistle sounded!
Since the foul obviously prevented the opponent's offensive advancement, it is a tactical foul.
The referee was not polite and directly showed Barton a Topaz God of War card!
QPR players, including Button himself, were very dissatisfied with this and immediately surrounded the referee.
"This is just the first foul!"
"Yeah, how can I get a card?"
"This is just a common foul!"
Only a few minutes into the game, the team's main midfielder received a yellow card.
Then how to play the next game? !
Faced with Button's output at close range and the encirclement of other QPR players, referee Tim Robinson was not timid at all and said in a solemn voice:
"You blocked the opponent's attack, I just made the penalty according to the rules!"
"Farke!"
"Please watch your words! If I hear you disrespecting me again, I won't mind showing you a second yellow card!"
Hearing this, Barton wanted to say something, but was pulled aside by the experienced Ferdinand.
The angry bad boy suddenly became furious when he saw Ling Feng standing up and calmly adjusting his socks.
He changed his target and came directly in front of Ling Feng, possessing him and yelling:
"Fake! What a hypocritical little bastard!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng sneered, and then responded with an unruly expression:
"You brainless fool!"
These words and the contemptuous expression on Ling Feng's face were like a sharp arrow that hit Barton's heart, instantly igniting the powder keg in his heart!
"What did you say when you stepped on the horse?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Premier League villain who tackled Alonso, elbowed Tevez, and burned his teammates' eyes with a cigar, raised his hand without hesitation and punched Ling Feng!
Although I didn't expect Barton to actually dare to hit himself.
However, Ling Feng was aware of this old man's misdeeds and was mentally prepared for it.
Therefore, in the midst of lightning and flint, Ling Feng just quickly tilted his head back and easily dodged the punch.
Immediately afterwards, he took two steps back, and while keeping a safe distance from Barton, he did not forget to shout:
"Hey! Referee, someone was hit!"
Upon hearing the noise, Ferdinand and team captain Hill reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to grab Button.
Otherwise, he would continue to attack Ling Feng.
The other Blue Fox teammates also rushed over quickly.
Especially Vardy, who came to Ling Feng immediately.
"Mad, you want to fight?!"
"let me go!"
"I'm going to kill this little brat!"
Facing Barton's reluctance, Ling Feng was not polite and continued to fight back:
"Your fists are as slow as your brain!"
Hearing this, Barton was furious. With a red face, he wanted to break away from his teammates and teach this brat who dared to contradict him a lesson.
The Blue Fox teammates who came to Ling Feng couldn't help but be stunned.
They didn't expect that Ling Feng, who was usually kind to others, would be so angry at his opponents.
Vardy burst out laughing!
Until then, the referee finally reacted and rushed to the scene before the conflict escalated again.
The linesman, who saw Patton punching someone, also told the referee what happened through the earphone.
The referee stood there for about half a minute, then quickly came to Barton and took out a bright red sign from his trouser pocket!
Straight red!
This scene couldn't help but make all the home team fans sigh in unison.
Only five minutes into the game, the team was not only behind by one goal, but the team's midfielder was also sent off for violent conduct on the court.
They have already realized that this game may be a cold one.
"The referee showed Button a red card!"
"Let's watch the replay again"
"Barton punched Ling Feng, but was dodged"
"This is definitely a red card and will even be punished after the game."
QPR coach Lao Lei on the sidelines also slammed the water bottle in his hand to the ground, and then continued to curse:
"Idiot! Bastard! Bitch!"
I thought that this bad boy had become a lot calmer with age.
Unexpectedly, this guy was like a time bomb, exploding at the most unexpected time!
Seeing the referee holding up the familiar red card, Barton, who was hugged by his teammates, regained his senses.
At this moment, he also realized that he had messed up.
In the end, amid the boos from the fans of the home and away teams, Barton, who was swearing, was pulled off the field by two team coaches.
During this period, Ling Feng did not forget to applaud and mock this manic man.
You know, the court is a place for football, not a place for fighting!
After being sent off for violent conduct, Button will definitely be suspended for three games or more.
In other words, this impulsive old man had enough time to think about whether the punch he just threw was worth it.
. . .
With Button unable to control his emotions and being sent off, the home team Queens Park Rangers will face the situation of playing with one less player in the next more than 80 minutes of the game.
With a wave of his hand from coach Lao Lei on the sidelines, all the QPR players on the field retreated to their own half.
At this moment, Lao Lei had only one thought in his mind:
In this game, you can lose, just don’t lose too much!
Button's foul gave Leicester City an average set-kick opportunity thirty-eight meters away from the goal.
At this distance, only free kick masters such as Pirlo, Beckham, and Junior Junho can hit the elevator ball or drop ball of a certain quality and directly attack the goal.
In Leicester City's formation, Mahrez has the best free kick skills.
The team's number one free kicker, Ling Feng, has a [Free Kick Accuracy] attribute of only 60, just above the passing mark.
Under normal circumstances, Mahrez will directly attack the goal for short-range free kicks within thirty meters.
However, this set piece was too far away to directly attack the goal, so it was still left to Ling Feng to handle.
However, he planned the whole job.
"Riyad!"
Calling Mahrez to the ball, he covered his mouth with his hand and whispered:
"You'll take the free throw later."
"Then pick out from behind the wall. I'll push forward over there, and you can outflank me to the back."
After listening to the entire tactic, Mahrez couldn't help but nodded.
"I have an idea! Do it!"
This tactical combination was something Ling Feng thought of on a whim.
With his current explosiveness and speed at the top level in the Premier League, once he starts, basically no player can keep up with him!
Seeing Ling Feng and Mahrez standing in front of the ball, one on the left and the other on the right, whispering, both the commentator and the QPR players could see that they planned to cooperate tactically.
As for who will take the set kick in the end, it is unknown.
Following the referee's whistle, Ling Feng, standing on the left side of the ball, took the lead!
I saw him first make a fake run, rush to the ball, and make a free throw.
Then at the moment when he was about to hit the ball, he suddenly accelerated past the ball and rushed towards the right side of the wall in front of him!
At the same time, Mahrez also stepped forward and made a beautiful pass with his left foot.
However, the trajectory of the ball was not towards the crowd in the penalty area, but just over the top of the opponent's wall!
This wave of tactical cooperation immediately aroused exclamations from the fans at the scene.
Just when the QPR players in the wall were about to turn around and chase, they were surprised to find that Ling Feng had already reached the first landing point of the ball!
How could he run away in the blink of an eye?
Did he show up? !
The Blue Fox No. 7 raised his leg slightly, stopped with his feet, and stopped the ball firmly in front of him.
Then, take advantage of the situation.
"Beautiful set piece combination!"
"Ling Feng got the ball on the right side of the penalty area!"
After reaching the bottom line and attracting the defender's attention, Ling Feng didn't even raise his head and directly passed the ball back to the middle with his right foot in an inverted triangle!
"Inverted triangle!"
Mahrez, who was just outside the penalty area, rushed over!
Due to the chaos in the penalty area, no one followed him.
I saw "Ma Dongmei" push with her left foot, and the ball drew a beautiful inner arc and headed towards the far corner of the goal.
The goalkeeper was blocked by players from both teams in the penalty area.
When I saw the ball flying out of the crowd, it was too late to save it.
With a "swish" sound, the ball stuck to the inside of the goal and penetrated into the white net!
The next second, thousands of visiting fans at Loftus Road broke into amazing cheers:
"Mahrez!!!"
"The Algeria international scored his fifth league goal of the season!"
"Helped Leicester City's away score advantage expand to two goals!"
"And the game only lasted less than fifteen minutes!"
Less than fifteen minutes into the game, Leicester City has already penetrated the Queen's Park Rangers goal twice on the road!
Among them, five minutes were interrupted due to Button's foul and red card.
In other words, in less than ten minutes, they were already behind 0-2!
The QPR players looked at each other in confusion.
Until now, I finally understood why Leicester City was able to reach the top four in the league as a super dark horse!
The strength of the two teams is not at the same level at all! ! !
Losing the second goal also made Lao Lei determined on the sidelines.
I saw him directly replacing the team's top scorer Charlie Austin, replacing him with a defensive midfielder, and then ordered the bus to be set up and defend!
The game turned into a half-time offensive and defensive drill for the Blue Foxes.
And this kind of thing plays right into the blue fox’s hands!
You know, they are one of the teams with the strongest offensive power in the league!
With one less person to fight, Queens Park Rangers' morale and fighting spirit have hit rock bottom.
Even with the constant encouragement and command from two defense stalwarts, Ferdinand and captain Hill, they could not prevent Leicester City from continuing to score goals.
In the 30th and 42nd minutes, Leicester City scored two goals from Lingard and Schlupp respectively.
After taking a four-goal lead in the first half, Leicester City chose to rotate in the second half.
It is worth mentioning that during the halftime break, Pearson also asked Ling Feng, who had already assisted and scored twice, if he wanted to play for a while longer.
Ling Feng said he would obey the head coach's arrangements.
For him, this game is already a sure thing, and the next second half is considered garbage time.
It's a bit excessive to collect data on the bottom team in garbage time.
Ever since, Pearson also waved his hand and replaced all the "Three Musketeers of the Blue Fox".
After all, four days later, they have to face a tough battle against the Red Army Liverpool at home!
In the second half, the Blue Fox continued to press QPR into frantic friction in the half and scored three more.
At the end of the ninety-minute game, Leicester City suffered a 7-0 defeat to the bottom team in the league at Loftus Road!
This score is also the second largest score difference this season after Southampton's eight-goal home victory over Sunderland!
It is worth mentioning that the happiest person in Leicester City's formation is undoubtedly goalkeeper Schmeichel.
Because he finally completed a clean sheet again!
After the game, he came to the bench immediately and gave Ling Feng a deep hug.
This big-scoring match between two newly promoted teams was beyond everyone's expectations.
Many people call it "the game ruined by the red card"
The view of these people is that if Button had not been sent off, Queens Park Rangers would still be able to fight.
However, many people believe that even without Barton's red card, Queens Park Rangers would not be Leicester City's opponent.
However, the ripples caused by this game are not just the process and results of the game.
Because, at 8 o'clock that night, Rio Ferdinand posted a tweet on his social media.
The content of the tweet is a bit long.
He first apologized to QPR fans for his poor performance in this game.
Then, a powerful bomb was thrown:
"Dear fans, after careful consideration, I feel that it is time to stop. After this season, I will retire!"
