Full-Level Pass, Please Call Me The Boss Of The Three Lions - Chapter 115
The first goal of Italy was scored through a corner kick.
Chapter 115 We all have a bright future [4,000-word chapter]
The first goal of Italy was scored through a corner kick.
Candreva came to the corner flag area again, ready to take the corner kick.
However, the English players, who had suffered a loss once, have been in high spirits.
Not only did they adopt man-to-man marking in the penalty area, but they also did not forget to guard against the opponent’s long shots outside the penalty area.
Ling Feng and Rooney stood outside the penalty area line, staring at Pirlo and Marchisio.
Seeing that Motta, who came to respond, was firmly stared at by Vardy, Candreva immediately gave up the idea of taking a tactical corner kick and directly kicked the ball into the penalty area!
In the penalty area, Italy still has an advantage in terms of height.
Chiellini and Barzagli are both central defenders over 1.85 meters tall, and Paletta is even 1.9 meters tall.
On the other hand, in England, only Cahill is over 1.85 meters tall.
However, England still has an advantage in terms of numbers.
Paletta, who is the tallest, and Balotelli, who scored the second goal, are followed by two players.
Moreover, Candreva’s cross was not very good, but went straight forward.
In the end, Chelsea defender Cahill jumped up before Chiellini and headed the ball out of the penalty area!
“Take a corner kick.”
“Cahill got the first point!”
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans in the Amazon Arena and countless viewers in front of the TV, the ball flew towards Ling Feng!
Ling Feng immediately stepped forward and prepared to catch the ball.
And Pirlo behind him, a step slower, immediately followed.
Facing the oncoming ball, Ling Feng’s eyes condensed, and he did not choose to stop the ball with his chest, but let it fall to the position of his thigh, and raised his right foot to kick it!
He kicked the ball past the opponent!
This light kick just passed over his head and Pirlo’s head behind him!
At the same time, Ling Feng turned around and passed by Pirlo.
In a flash, Pirlo didn’t expect Ling Feng to play a trick in front of him, but subconsciously wanted to reach out and use a tactical foul to interrupt his turning and advancing.
However, he underestimated Ling Feng’s explosive power!
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Ling Feng had already run out of his reach!
How could this English boy be so fast? !
At this time, Ling Feng, who had already reached the bottom of the ball, did not wait for the ball to land, and directly raised his right leg, turned sideways and kicked the outside of his foot in the air with a “bang”, hitting the middle of the ball!
The next second, the ball flew out.
The entire ball flew through the air between the two Italian players with a strong swirl, and came to the left side of the large open space in the front field!
“Wow! Beautiful lob!”
“Long pass in the air!”
While the commentator and the fans were still amazed by Ling Feng’s smooth lob and pass, Damian and Parolo, who stayed in the backcourt, turned their heads in horror and looked in the direction of the ball.
I saw a white figure desperately chasing the ball in the air!
It was Jamie Vardy wearing No. 21!
In fact, when Ling Feng used the lob to pass Pirlo, Vardy on the left side had already started running forward.
At that moment, in his mind, only Ling Feng’s words before he came on the court echoed:
“You run as much as you want, if you can’t pass it, it’s my fault!”
The deep tacit understanding accumulated with Ling Feng in the club made him step forward without hesitation and sprint to the Italian backcourt in advance!
Because he knew very well in his heart that Ling Feng would definitely pass the ball to him!
The two Italian players who were left behind were Damian, the full-back, and Parolo, the midfielder who had just come on as a substitute.
Seeing Vardy, who was already two positions ahead of him, Damian, who turned back and chased back, immediately raised his hand to indicate offside.
However, the linesman did not make any comment.
Because, at the moment when Ling Feng passed the ball, Vardy just started to speed up, and his entire position was slightly behind the last defender!
Even though Damian and Parolo were desperately chasing back, Vardy was getting closer and closer to the ball.
The English coaches and players on the sidelines all stood up from the bench at the same time, staring at Vardy’s courageous figure.
At the same time, Italy’s goalkeeper Sirigu also left the goal!
In fact, in
When Ling Feng made a long pass, Sirigu realized that the opponent might play a long pass to counterattack.
He originally planned to attack and destroy the ball as soon as possible.
However, when he rushed out of the small penalty area, he was surprised to find that the ball suddenly slowed down after landing and even rolled back!
What’s going on? !
The ball actually ran back? !
In surprise, he couldn’t help but pause.
With this hesitation, he found that Vardy seemed to be able to get the ball earlier than him.
Continue to attack? Or go back to the front of the goal?
While thinking about this question, he had missed the best time to attack, and could only bite the bullet and continue to rush forward.
In the end, Vardy got the ball before him!
Facing Sirigu, who opened his arms and tried to expand the defensive area, Vardy had a grim expression and just lightly picked it up with his toes.
The next second, the ball passed over Sirigu’s raised hands, drew a perfect parabola, and then fell into the empty goal behind him!
Witnessing this scene, tens of thousands of English fans in the Amazon Arena suddenly burst into cheers that resounded through the sky!
This wave of attack started with Ling Feng’s amazing lob and ended with Vardy’s lob.
Two lobs defeated Italy and scored a goal!
“What a perfect counterattack!”
“Especially every time No. 15 Ling Feng handled the ball, it was simply impeccable!”
“Eighty percent of the credit for this goal should be attributed to him!”
Amid the cheers of the whole stadium, Vardy did not choose to run to the corner flag area to celebrate, but turned around and ran, excitedly rushing towards Ling Feng who assisted him!
And Ling Feng also greeted him with a smile.
The two actually jumped up and bumped into each other, and then hugged each other!
“Ling! I scored a goal! And in the World Cup!!!”
“I told you long ago, just run and leave the rest to me!”
“Yes, I never doubted it. Thank you, my friend.”
After that, Vardy, who was very excited, gave Ling Feng another big hug.
At this time, other English players also arrived and surrounded the two!
“Well done! Jamie!”
“Good pass, Ling!”
“That lob was so damn cool!”
Looking at the crazy celebration of the English, whether it was the Italian coaching staff and substitutes on the sidelines or the Italian players on the field, they all showed a bewildered look.
Everything happened too fast. Most of them hadn’t even left England’s penalty area before the ball entered their own goal.
What happened?
From Candreva’s corner kick, to Ling Feng’s lob and volley pass, and finally to Vardy’s lob shot.
Only two players from England participated in the entire goal.
Moreover, the entire goal-scoring process definitely did not exceed ten seconds!
Staring at Ling Feng, whose black hair was rubbed into a bird’s nest by Gerrard and others, Pirlo casually smoothed his long hair, his expression becoming more and more stern.
In fact, at the moment when Ling Feng passed him with a lob and flew past him, the midfield master suddenly realized that he was no longer 25 years old, but 35 years old!
At that moment, he even began to think whether his physical condition could not keep up with the pace of young people, and whether he should consider retiring?
However, such thoughts only stayed for a short time and were thrown out of the sky by Pirlo.
He has not helped Juventus win the coveted Champions League title, so he can’t leave yet!
. . .
In the 86th minute of the game, Vardy received a long volley pass from Ling Feng and scored a goal with a lob!
In addition to helping England equalize the score again, he also scored his first goal for the national team in his World Cup debut!
Ling Feng also made an assist in his World Cup debut!
This assist made him the first player in football to make an assist in his first appearances in the English Championship, FA Cup, and World Cup!
In his short career so far, he has made assists in all the club and national team debuts!
This is a record that will definitely be hotly discussed after the game.
After England equalized the score again, Prandelli, who was frowning on the sidelines, waved his hand and used up the last substitution.
Replaced forward Balotelli with defender Bonucci, turning the four defenders into five defenders.
Obviously, after England equalized the score, morale will inevitably rise.
In order not to lose the ball in the remaining time, Prandelli decided to keep the current score.
For England, the biggest opponent in Group D is
Italy’s draw was also an acceptable result.
So, Hodgson also chose to use the last quota, replacing Gerrard with Wilshere.
In the last six or seven minutes, England controlled the ball until the last second of stoppage time.
Beep~beep~beep~~~
With the referee’s whistle, the “British-Italian War” in Group D ended in a draw.
The coaches of both sides shook hands, and Prandelli said:
“You played very well, especially after the No. 15 came up.”
Hodgson was stunned when he heard this.
This kid, there is something behind his words.
Does this mean that they didn’t play well before Ling Feng came on the court? !
However, this is indeed the fact.
If they played well, it would not be Italy that led 2-1, but them.
Thinking of this, Hodgson just smiled slightly and replied very generously:
“I think so too.”
In the end, Balotelli, who threatened England’s goal many times and scored a goal in the game, won the best player of the game.
However, what the majority of fans talked about was Ling Feng’s outstanding performance in the game.
Especially the assist that helped the team equalize the score, which is worth replaying many times.
After dribbling past the opponent, he made a long pass in the air and delivered a fatal blow.
The whole process was smooth and full of sports elegance and beauty!
You know, he dribbled past Pirlo, the only true core and midfield master of Italy!
Although Pirlo’s physical fitness has never been too good, and defense is not his strong point.
But who cares about these?
After this game, people will only remember Pirlo’s shocking mistake, and Ling Feng’s dribbling past the opponent, teasing Pirlo, and delivering his first assist in the World Cup!
Perhaps it was because this assist was so wonderful that when Ling Feng took the initiative to find Pirlo and expressed his desire to exchange jerseys, the latter readily agreed.
Moreover, after exchanging jerseys, Pirlo did not forget to ask Ling Feng in English with a certain accent:
“Young man, your pass is great. Are you interested in playing for Juventus?”
Hearing this, Ling Feng was stunned.
Then, a sense of pride suddenly surged in his heart.
Being able to let Pirlo invite him to join Juventus, does it mean that his performance has been recognized by this historical midfield master?
While he was happy, Ling Feng did not forget to refuse:
“Thank you very much for your invitation, but I have no intention of transferring for the time being.”
“That’s a pity”
Finally, the two hugged politely and said goodbye.
This was the first and last confrontation between Ling Feng and Pirlo.
. . .
With England and Italy shaking hands, the four teams in Group D have completed the first round of the game.
It is worth mentioning that the South American powerhouse Uruguay, which has the Premier League Golden Boot Suarez and the French Ligue 1 striker Cavani, lost unexpectedly in the first round against Costa Rica.
Although Suarez did not play due to injury.
However, this result was still beyond everyone’s expectations.
Costa Rica, which was originally regarded as the weakest in the group by the outside world, unexpectedly occupied the top spot in this death group!
England and Italy tied for second place with the same points.
Uruguay, which lost in the first round, was at the bottom.
It is foreseeable that England’s next game will be even more difficult.
Because the Uruguayans will definitely fight England to the death like chicken blood.
Because if they lose or draw again, they will push themselves to the edge of the cliff of being eliminated from the group!
However, the next game is the next game.
In this single round of this game, Hodgson was quite satisfied with the performance of his disciples.
After returning to the locker room, Hodgson applauded immediately to express encouragement.
“Good game, guys! We tied the score tenaciously, twice!”
“In this game, I saw the team’s unity and hard work, as well as your spirit of never giving up!”
“The World Cup stage is reserved for those who are prepared. There are two more games, play to your heart’s content!”
“Don’t leave yourself with regrets!”
Finally, under the leadership of captain Gerrard, everyone stood in a circle and shouted the Three Lions’ cheering slogan in unison:
“England, go ahead!!!”
After the game, Ling Feng once again completed two new achievements, namely [World Cup debut] and [First assist in the World Cup]
These two achievements gave him two more free attribute points.
And he did not forget to take a photo with Vardy in the locker room, and then uploaded the photo to his personal social media account
.
And added:
“Congratulations to my good brother @Vardi for helping me get my first assist in the World Cup!”
This game is definitely a game worth remembering in Ling Feng and Vardy’s career.
As the saying goes, you score goals, I assist, we both have a bright future!
