Ling Feng, who was warming up in the stadium, of course had no idea that his fans already regarded Barbara as his girlfriend, and all of them took the initiative to take photos with her.
Once he steps onto the green field, he puts aside all distracting thoughts and just focuses on one goal.
That is:
How to defeat your opponents and win in this game!
This is the first time in his career that he faces Manchester City.
Although at this moment, Manchester City under the leadership of "Chilean Engineer" Pellegrini does not have the super dominance of Guardiola in the future.
However, since it was acquired by the Abu Dhabi consortium in the Middle East 6 years ago, Blue Moon, backed by its oil father, has made all the difference in the transfer market.
Whether it is club facilities, player lineup, or team record, they have all made great progress in just a few years.
Especially under the leadership of legendary coach Mancini, Manchester City has made rapid progress from a mid-table team in the Premier League.
First, it ended a thirty-five-year drought, won the FA Cup, qualified for the Champions League for the first time, and then further won the league championship and stood at the top of the Premier League!
Today's Manchester City has transformed from the "noisy neighbor" in Ferguson's words to a strong contender for the Premier League championship.
Last year, Pellegrini replaced Mancini, who had a poor record, as the new coach of Blue Moon.
After a year of silence, Manchester City's top brass gave the polite Chilean great support in the transfer market.
Fernandinho, Navas, Jovetic, Negredo and other stars came to support them one after another.
Under the guidance of Pellegrini, the new players and the main players of the team performed well and played pleasing offensive football, which fascinated the fans.
It happened to coincide with Arsenal's daily failure and Chelsea's reconstruction period. The newly arrived engineer led the team to win the Premier League championship again after a year!
However, in this summer window, Manchester City seems to be
Perhaps they were satisfied with the lineup and depth, so they only made small-scale repairs to the lineup.
For example, midfielder Fernando and central defender Mangala were purchased from Porto to replace Barry and Lescott who left on transfer, and Arsenal full-back Sagna was exempted from signing to supplement the depth of full-backs.
There are two good news for Leicester City in this game.
First of all, Manchester City's top scorer Aguero is unable to appear!
The former European golden boy and Atletico Madrid striker has become the core of Manchester City's striker.
Aguero is on full fire this season.
So far, a total of 19 goals have been scored in all competitions, including 14 goals in the Premier League, overpowering the "famous beauty" Costa, and ranking first in the league's scorer list!
However, Aguero accidentally had to retire injured in the last league game against Everton.
Judging from the post-game inspection, although the problem is not too big, he will definitely not be able to return until after the New Year.
The "Bosnian Diamond" Dzeko, who originally replaced Aguero in the starting lineup, accidentally strained his calf during the warm-up before the game!
Coupled with the "Montenegro Messi" Jovetic who has been lying in bed for a long time, Manchester City's three top forwards can only sit in the stands to watch this game.
Since the oil capital took over, Manchester City has never been in an embarrassing situation of missing people!
There is news that in order to alleviate the urgent need to have no striker available, Manchester City has set its sights on the Ivorian striker Bony who has performed well at Swansea this season!
In the past 2014, Boni scored a total of 21 goals in the Premier League, the most goals among all Premier League forwards!
There are more goals than Robin van Persie, Rooney, Aguero and other famous shooters, and he can be called the top scorer of the Premier League in 2014!
However, even if Manchester City wins Bony in advance, they will have to wait until the winter transfer window opens in January before the Ivory Coast striker can join the team.
In desperation, for this game, Chilean engineer Pellegrini could only temporarily send in the 18-year-old Spanish teenager Pozo as the team's starting center.
You know, Manchester City's firepower this season is extremely fierce. After fifteen league games, they scored 32 goals!
Averaging more than two goals per game!
However, Aguero alone scored fourteen goals.
It can be seen that the team's offense relies heavily on Aguero's performance.
After Aguero, Dzeko and Jovetic retired from injury one after another, Manchester City's offense will definitely be greatly reduced.
And Manchester City's opponent, the "Blue Fox" Leicester City, scored a terrifying 40 goals in fifteen league games!
With such offensive firepower, they are the team that scores the most goals in the entire Premier League!
What's more, Leicester City's Three Musketeers are in top condition and physical condition after taking turns.
Therefore, before the game, many fans and football experts believed that Leicester City had a good chance of scoring points at home!
"Let's take a look at both sides' starting eleven first."
"The home team Leicester City still adopts their usual 4231 tactical formation. After a large-scale rest in the last Europa League, Pearson can be said to be the main force in this league game."
"The goalkeeper is Ben Hamer, who replaced the injured No. 1 goalkeeper Schmeichel and became the starter. The defense is Schlupp, Upson, Morgan, and Simpson."
"The two defensive midfielders are Cambiaso and Drinkwater. The left and right are Lingard and Mahrez respectively."
"Ambushing behind Vardy is still the most trustworthy core of the team, Ling Feng who is in excellent condition!"
"And Manchester City also adopted the 4231 formation."
"The goalkeeper is still Joe Hart."
"In defense, Zabaleta, Mangala, captain Kompany, Clichy."
"The two defensive midfielders are Yaya Toure and Fernando. The two wingers are Nasri and David Silva."
"The one in the middle is Frank Lampard, who is on loan from New York FC in the American Major League."
"In front of them is young player Pozzo, who is making his second start this season."
As the passionate Blue Fox anthem rang out in the stadium, players from both sides stood in the warm tunnel and prepared before taking the field.
At this time, it is also the time for players from both sides to show courtesy first and then attack.
After sorting out his gloves, Ling Feng took the initiative to find Lampard:
"Hey, long time no see, Frank."
"yes"
In order to maintain his form and continue chasing the Premier League scoring record, Lampard, who left Chelsea, reached a loan agreement with Manchester City and loaned him to Manchester City from New York FC for half a season.
However, for many Chelsea fans, Lampard's decision is still difficult to accept.
Moreover, he also scored his first goal in Manchester City against Chelsea in September!
Even if he didn't celebrate.
However, many Chelsea fans put their heads in their hands and showed incomprehensible or complicated expressions.
They never thought that after thirteen years of Blues career, the Blues Magic Lantern would actually join another Premier League team;
Unexpectedly, Lampard would penetrate Chelsea's goal as an opponent player!
The two hugged and then began to chat:
“What’s the weather like in Manchester?”
"It's not bad. It's not as bad as I thought. Next time you come, I'll show you around."
"Haha, sounds good."
While Ling Feng and Lampard were chatting and laughing, Lingard, standing in the Leicester City queue, had eyes full of envy.
In fact, he also wanted to go up and say hello to Lampard.
You know, young English players of his generation grew up watching the golden generation such as Lampard, Gerrard, and Beckham.
Lampard can definitely be called his childhood idol!
When he was at the Carrington base, he remembered that many of his teammates had learned long-range shooting skills by repeatedly watching Lampard's long-range shooting highlights.
Among them, the tall black guy named "Paul" is the smartest one.
Often you can quickly master the techniques and movements within just a few viewings.
Indeed, compared to Ling Feng, who entered the national team at the age of eighteen, emerged in the World Cup and now becomes the core of the Three Lions midfield, and won the European Golden Boy Award at the age of twenty, helping Juventus achieve consecutive Serie A wins. Paul Pogba, who won the championship and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
As a peer of my own age, I am already far behind.
However, Lingard is also very open-minded.
Although his talent is not as good as that of Ling Feng and Pogba, since his debut, he has not been as eye-catching and dazzling as those super geniuses and prodigies.
However, he firmly believes that no pain means no gain.
Hard work will pay off!
This truth was told to him personally by his idol Cristiano Ronaldo.
As of now, the initial stage of his career is not amazing, but it is also stable.
First he established a foothold in the English Championship, and now he is playing in the Premier League and helping newly promoted Leicester City achieve good results.
The next step is for him to return to Manchester United with the experience he learned in Leicester City and become a starting member of the Red Devils!
At that time, he may be able to enter the vision of the Three Lions coach and be recruited to put on the white jersey that represents the glory of the country!
Thinking of this, Lingard's eyes narrowed and his expression suddenly became much firmer.
There was also a bit more murderous look in the eyes when looking at the Manchester City players.
As a well-established Red Devil, he naturally didn't have a good impression of Manchester City, their mortal enemy in the same city.
Great, let’s start with this game against Manchester City!
Let the coaches and scouts of Manchester United take a look at how much he has improved after coming to Leicester City for three months!
. . .
Following the introduction by the stadium DJ, players from both sides slowly entered the stadium.
In this game, both teams are wearing blue jerseys.
The only difference is that Manchester City's is sky blue, while Leicester City's is dark blue.
At the same time, Barbara in the stands also focused her attention on the stadium.
Her eyes quickly locked on the black-haired young man at the end of the blue fox queue.
Then he cheered silently in his heart:
"Come on, Ling!"
After the pre-match ceremony, Leicester City, playing at home, took the lead in kicking off the game.
Vardy kicked off the ball from the center circle and passed it back.
Ling Feng caught the ball and saw the opponent's 18-year-old boy Pozzo rushing toward him!
Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Oh, young man, you are so motivated!
With this in mind, Ling Feng passed the ball directly to Mahrez on the right.
Immediately afterwards, he immediately ran into space and found that Manchester City did not press high in the frontcourt, but chose to shrink the formation.
However, when Ling Feng moved forward, he saw Yaya Toure standing in front of him like a black tower!
Looking at the big black man in front of him, Ling Feng had a serious expression.
Apparently, Pellegrini arranged for Yaya Toure to specifically mark him.
If he were asked to choose an opponent he fears the most among all the players in the Premier League, he would definitely choose Yaya Toure!
Thirty-one-year-old Yaya Toure, although he is over thirty, his physical fitness and condition are still among the best in the world.
The natural physical flexibility of black players, coupled with their excellent foot skills, allows them to advance forward like a tank and have explosive long-range shooting ability.
Advance to attack, retreat to defend.
In the entire Premier League, he is the only one who can be called an all-around midfielder!
Within ten minutes after the opening, Leicester City firmly controlled the ball.
However, whenever his teammates want to pass the ball to Ling Feng for organization, Yaya Toure will not hesitate to step forward and guard closely to prevent him from easily getting the ball.
In front of the super beast waist Yaya Toure, Ling Feng's resistance ability was like paper.
Every time the opponent bumps into him, his entire body will lose his balance!
After being frustrated several times in front of Yaya Toure, Ling Feng learned to be smart.
He knew that with his current confrontation ability, he simply could not take advantage of Yaya Toure.
So, he began to think about how to prevent Yaya Toure from following him so closely?
Soon, Ling Feng thought of a way:
Yaya Toure, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, is definitely not as fast and maneuverable as him.
As long as he fully mobilizes it, the consumption of his huge body will definitely be more than his own.
As long as Yaya Toure is tired from running, the defensive effectiveness will definitely drop significantly.
That's when he will gain the upper hand in this game!
Ever since, Ling Feng began to move around Yaya Toure.
And Yaya Toure, who received special instructions from the head coach, did not dare to neglect. He would always leave his defense zone and follow up the defense in place.
Because, if he doesn't follow up properly, Ling Feng can easily get the ball in the frontcourt and pass the ball.
And his passing is the source of Leicester City's offense!
However, not everyone has the intelligence to see Ling Feng's intentions.
Many Manchester City fans just think that the Blue Fox No. 7 is too fast and can run away!
Moreover, he doesn't get the ball very much, he just keeps running into open spaces to meet his teammates.
Then his teammates passed the ball to him, and he kicked the ball without hesitation as if the ball was hot to his feet.
He didn't dare to confront Yaya Toure, but kept running around the super beast's waist.
However, Pellegrini, the "Chilean engineer" sitting on the coaching bench on the sidelines, frowned.
Ling Feng's running ability has always been the subject of intense research.
But this time, he ran more actively in the frontcourt.
"The movement of No. 7 was too erratic and there was no pattern at all. However, he didn't dare to take the ball at all. He must have been intimidated by Toure!"
Hearing the words of the assistant coach next to him, Pellegrini suddenly woke up:
"wrong!"
"He is not afraid of Tu Lei, but he is consuming Tu Lei!"
