Looking at the changes in the situation on the field, Pearson had already reacted.
However, he did not choose to correct this tactical error immediately, but continued to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Because, in his mind, the picture of Ling Feng practicing hard on the training ground suddenly appeared.
This may be an opportunity to explore new possibilities in Lingfeng!
Ling Feng has the speed and burst required by a winger.
Although his foot skills are average, his breakthrough impact is stronger than Vardy!
Especially on the wing where there is more space, almost no one can stop him with one move!
I haven't tried it, how do I know if he can beat Walker? !
So, he asked the assistant coach to come to the sidelines and convey an instruction to the players on the court:
"Pass the ball to Ling! Let him have more personal breakthroughs!"
The head coach’s instruction was quickly implemented into the game:
In the 55th minute of the game, Leicester City completed a steal in the middle, and Andy King once again passed the ball to Ling Feng on the left.
Even if he dropped back near the midline to catch the ball.
However, Walker did not relax, but followed him closely, pressing close to the midline.
This is also his defensive habit.
With your own speed, even if your opponent starts first and you turn around to catch up, you can easily catch up with the opponent.
However, this time, Walker met his opponent.
Looking at Walker standing sideways, fighting and retreating, Ling Feng was not polite and directly dribbled the ball forward with the inside of his foot, constantly approaching Walker.
In Ling Feng's view, the skill [Horse Stepping on Meteor] requires constant training and refinement.
And no matter how many fake human walls you pass on the training ground, it won't increase your proficiency as much as passing one person in a formal game.
What's more, the one who defended him was Kyle Walker, who was recognized by later generations of fans as "the fastest man in the Premier League"!
"Lingfeng took the ball from the wing and advanced, and it was Walker who defended him."
"These two fast players are finally going to face off!"
While slowly dribbling the ball forward, Ling Feng's upper body followed what Mahrez taught, adding some fake moves.
However, after playing in the Premier League for several seasons, what winger has Walker not seen?
Therefore, he allowed Ling Feng's shoulders to slump and sway in the first half, completely motionless!
Seeing that Walker didn't falter, and Mason next to him also came to help defend, Ling Feng made a quick decision and moved the instep of his right foot outwards, directly making soup!
Although I have seen Ling Feng’s speed just now,
However, Walker was surprised again by his explosive power.
While his thoughts were spinning rapidly, his body was very honest and turned around to pursue him without hesitation.
While squeezing Ling Feng with his body, he tugged at the blue jersey with his hands without forgetting to poke.
Being squeezed and pulled by Walker, the rhythm of dribbling was immediately disrupted.
As the ball was slightly widened under his feet, Mason, who came to help defend, kicked the ball out of the sideline!
Although it was the first one-on-one challenge, I was not able to penetrate Tottenham's hinterland.
However, Ling Feng's breakthrough with the ball was extremely threatening to the naked eye.
In the next ten minutes, Leicester City's main attack direction obviously shifted from the right to the left.
Other teammates kept passing the ball to Ling Feng and running to stretch the defense, creating space for him to challenge Walker on the wing.
And Ling Feng also regarded these side duels as precious sparring opportunities.
With the number one right back in the Premier League as his training partner, [Horse Stepping on the Meteor]’s skill proficiency will definitely improve by leaps and bounds!
Perhaps because he had just returned from injury, Walker did not dare to sprint with all his strength, so that Ling Feng was able to take advantage and break through him in several one-on-one duels.
However, Walker, who can become England's historical right back, is not just a player.
Although he has not yet moved to Manchester City, he has received guidance from Guardiola.
However, the 24-year-old Walker is in physical condition at the peak of his career!
Both in terms of speed and physical confrontation ability, he is the top player in the Premier League.
What's more, during the preparations, the coaching staff repeatedly emphasized Ling Feng's playing style to the players, as well as his habits, preferred feet and other comprehensive information.
Therefore, he knew that Ling Feng's dominant foot was his right foot, and he also knew that his left foot was rarely used.
As for the reverse-footed winger, the most common offensive routine is to cut in along the wing and hit the goal.
In other words, as long as he guards Ling Feng's inward route and prevents him from easily taking long shots, and then uses the midfielder's help to defend and squeeze the space, he can prevent Ling Feng's breakthrough to the greatest extent!
Sure enough, just as he expected, Ling Feng's offensive routine on the left wing was not only cutting inside, but also cutting inside.
In addition to providing personal interference, Walker did not forget to call Mason to come over to help defend.
After several attempts, Ling Feng failed to break through and was either intercepted or made a clearance.
Even so, Ling Feng, who slowly found the feeling of breakthrough, still reached the left side of the front edge of the penalty area and completed a long-range shot with two feet at a tricky angle.
However, under Walker's close defense, he did not exert full force and the ball speed was not fast enough, and it was basically confiscated by Lloris.
Ling Feng and Walker's wonderful offense and defense on the wing triggered bursts of exclamations and applause from the audience.
In football matches, in addition to the wonderful teamwork, the one-on-one offense and defense with individual heroism is also an important element that makes the adrenaline soar and the blood boils!
In addition to the fans who cheered and cheered, other Tottenham players on the field couldn't help but look shocked when they saw Ling Feng and Walker repeatedly performing extremely fast speeds on the wing.
Holy shit!
What did I see? !
After spending time with Walker day and night, they certainly know how fast Walker is and how abnormal he is!
In team training, no one can defeat Walker one-on-one!
Not to mention blasting him with speed!
Sometimes, Walker will even deliberately let his opponent break through him first, then chase back at a high speed that he is proud of, and then intercept the ball with a clean tackle.
However, in front of such Walker, Ling Feng was able to successfully break through and complete the shot many times!
This was incredible to them.
If it weren't for the blue jersey worn by Ling Feng, many Tottenham players would have thought they had seen the No. 11 who once dominated the left wing of White Hart Lane!
at the same time.
Southgate's eyes were shining in the stands, and his heart was filled with waves.
This kid Ling Feng has actually become stronger than the last time we met!
In addition to being able to organize attacks and control the rhythm like midfield masters like Xavi and Pirlo, he can also use speed and breakthrough to tear apart the opponent's defense like a true winger, thereby creating a threat!
my God!
He is only nineteen years old!
Where is his limit? !
And Ling Feng's terrifying progress made Southgate suddenly have a very tempting idea pop up in his mind:
Should I apply to Hodgson to let Ling Feng participate in this summer's European Youth Championship? !
Originally, when he came to watch this game, in addition to inspecting talents for the adult team for Hodgson, he also had the task of inspecting talents for the European Youth Championship.
As the head coach of England U21, Kane and Lingard on the field, as well as Dier on the bench off the field, are all subjects of his inspection.
Originally, with Ling Feng's role and status in the Three Lions adult team, participating in the U21 game was basically a dimensionality reduction attack.
However, considering the gold content of the European Youth Championship, Ling Feng can also compete with talents from other powerful European countries, which also has certain training value.
The key is that if Ling Feng leads the team, coupled with young players such as Kane, Stones, and Lingard who have already established themselves in the Premier League, England's Young Lions will definitely be able to compete with other players in the European Youth Championship in the summer. The top European teams compete against each other!
You can even look ahead to the championship trophy!
As the saying goes, a coach who doesn't want to win a championship is not a good coach!
Southgate certainly has his own ambitions.
In his opinion, if he can lead the team to win the European Youth Championship, his voice and status in the Football Association will definitely increase.
After all, Hodgson is also old, and at most he will be able to lead the team through next year's European Cup.
With this European Youth Championship champion, the possibility of taking over Hodgson as the coach of the Three Lions will definitely increase greatly!
Anyway, the European preliminaries and European Youth Championship schedules do not conflict.
What's more, England's European qualifying group is full of rotten fish and shrimps. Even without Ling Feng, qualifying is as safe as an old dog.
Why not let Ling Feng participate in the European Youth Championship, lead the young people in England, accumulate experience in international competitions, and see if he can win a championship? !
Thinking of this, Southgate has made a decision in his heart.
. . .
As the game progressed, the heavy rain over the King Power Stadium gradually became lighter, and eventually the weather cleared.
With Ling Feng's strength on the wing, Mason, who had just come on as a substitute, did not dare to move forward to participate in the attack. Leicester City suppressed Tottenham's passing in the middle to a certain extent.
After all, Tottenham's two frontcourt wingers, Lamela and Chadli, are both technical players who need to hold the ball to be a threat.
Eriksen, who can reasonably distribute the ball, is closely followed by Andy King.
Tottenham can only look for Kane from the backcourt and let him act as the fulcrum in the frontcourt to help his teammates.
When the game reached the 70th minute, Tottenham found Kane with a long pass.
Tottenham's popular player leaned against Morgan and tipped the ball to Lamela who came over to meet him.
The latter stepped on two bicycles, opened up the space, and shot a cold arrow directly at the top of the arc in the penalty area!
However, the long-range shot was blocked by center back Vasileski.
Although it did not threaten the goalkeeper.
However, the team still won a corner kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
Set kicks are definitely an opportunity to threaten the Blue Fox goal for the suppressed Tottenham!
Because, in terms of height, Tottenham definitely has an advantage.
Central defender Fazio, who is 1.95 meters tall, Vertonghen who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and Kane who is 1.88 meters tall, all came to the Blue Fox penalty area.
For a time, Blue Fox captain Morgan became the busiest person:
"Watch your own people!"
"Danny, keep an eye on the back!"
"focus!"
There are only two full-backs left in Tottenham's backcourt, Walker and Rose.
These two people are an important reason why Tottenham dares to let other teammates enter the penalty area to grab points.
Because, even if the opponent seizes the corner kick and launches a quick counterattack, it will be difficult to get past these two wingers and directly threaten the goal!
As Eriksen raised his right hand at the corner kick, the Blue Foxes were immediately ready in the penalty area.
The next second, the Danish genius passed a beautiful curve ball and accurately flew into the sky above the crowd.
Vertonghen, nicknamed "Super Jan", jumped up and shook his head to attack the goal!
"Vertonghen!"
However, perhaps due to interference from the defensive players around him, the header did not hit the ball, but just missed it.
With a flick of his head, the ball in the air changed its trajectory and flew straight to the back of the goal.
Everything happened too fast.
Goalkeeper Hamer, who was standing in the middle of the goal, couldn't react in time and could only watch the ball fly past him and hit the back of the goal.
Fortunately, right back Danny Simpson was standing in front of the goal line at the back point.
Facing the incoming ball, he hit the ball with his chest without hesitation, and then raised his legs and feet to make a clearance!
There was only a "bang" sound, and the ball was ejected and flew out of the penalty area.
"Beautiful front door rescue!"
"Simpson Bigfoot to the rescue!"
"Does Leicester City have a chance to fight back?!"
As the fans screamed, a blue figure rushed out from the front of the penalty area without hesitation!
It's Ling Feng!
The ball did not fly too far, but just flew to the area near the right side of the center line.
Danny Rose, the nearby Tottenham left back, rushed to the ball without hesitation, trying to control the ball immediately.
However, what he didn't expect was that Ling Feng was faster than him!
Sprinting with all his strength, Ling Feng got ahead of Rose and reached the ball's first impact point!
Ross, who arrived a little late, was preparing for the worst.
In his opinion, even if Ling Feng gets the ball, he can't let him pass by him!
However, Ling Feng did something that surprised everyone:
Instead of stopping the ball, he directly raised one end of his leg and picked the falling ball over Rose's head.
Then, he started accelerating again and rushed past Ross.
He was so fast that he didn't even give Rose a chance to foul!
Damn it!
It's too fast!
In a state of shock, Ross quickly turned around and chased after him.
However, compared to Walker, Rose's speed is still not enough.
Even if Ling Feng was dribbling the ball, he could only follow the blue supercar and eat the exhaust!
"Ling Feng!"
"Get over Ross!"
"In front of him, there is an open space!"
However, just as Ling Feng strode forward with the ball, Walker on the left also came from the side at an extremely fast speed!
Because he is already the last defensive player.
If you commit a foul, you will definitely be sent off with a red card.
Therefore, Walker decided to use his body to squeeze Ling Feng's forward path and drive him to the outside to buy time for his teammates to return to defense.
However, Ling Feng seemed to have understood his thoughts in advance. Before Walker could get up, he took the initiative to dribble the ball to the outside.
Under the pursuit and interception of Walker and Ross, Ling Feng's advancing route gradually deviated from the straight line.
Until he reached the right side of the penalty area, Ling Feng, who had been looking ahead, suddenly swept the ball towards the empty center with a kick!
What? !
He actually passed the ball? !
No one is following me in the middle.
However, when Walker and Rose turned around suddenly, they discovered that Lingard had already moved forward at some point!
And there is no defensive player beside him!
