Full-Level Pass, Please Call Me The Boss Of The Three Lions - Chapter 119
The first time, the second time.
Chapter 119: When playing football, the most important thing is to be happy [4,000-word chapter]
“The ball went in!”
“The goal was scored by No. 15 Ling~~~ Feng!!!”
Far away in the British Isles, thousands of English fans who were watching the game, whether they were holding beer or champagne, jumped up at the same time.
“Good job, man!”
“Good shot!”
“That’s it!”
At the moment the ball was shot, Ling Feng was knocked down by the Uruguayan player’s flying tackle and fell on the grass.
Fortunately, the opponent’s flying tackle was not aimed at anyone, but just to block the shooting line with his foot.
Otherwise, it would be painful enough for him even if he didn’t get hurt.
Seeing the ball fly into the goal, Ling Feng immediately supported himself with his hands and climbed up impatiently.
He didn’t expect that his first goal of the World Cup would come so quickly!
With great excitement in his heart, Ling Feng ran to a pure white stand without hesitation and stood still.
Then, he raised his head with a smile on his face, opened his arms, and accepted the thunderous cheers of the English fans on the scene.
This scene was captured by the photographer on the scene and was destined to become one of the most exciting scenes of the next day and even this World Cup!
After completing this somewhat arrogant celebration, Ling Feng turned around and gave Sterling a deep hug!
“Rahim, your pass is great! You’re almost catching up with me.”
Hearing this, Sterling knew that Ling Feng was joking, and couldn’t help but scolded with a smile: “Get out, you narcissist!”
The two looked at each other and laughed again.
Then, other England teammates also came to celebrate and congratulated the two.
You know, this is not only Ling Feng’s first World Cup goal, but also Sterling’s first World Cup assist!
Watching Ling Feng and Sterling hugging each other on the sidelines, Vardy, who was originally happy for the team’s equalization, suddenly thought of something and couldn’t help showing a bit of disappointment on his face.
When he scored his first World Cup goal, Ling Feng celebrated with him on the court.
But now, Ling Feng scored his first World Cup goal, but he could only cheer for him off the court.
It seems that he has to continue to work hard to keep up with Ling Feng’s growth.
In the 70th minute of the game, Sterling broke through the right side of the front court and made a reverse triangle pass.
Ling Feng, who came in from behind, pushed the ball and made a perfect arc, flying into the goal guarded by Muslera.
In addition to scoring his first World Cup goal, he also helped England equalize the score!
With the score tied, the two sides returned to the same starting line again.
There are still about 20 minutes left before the end of the game.
If this score remains until the end, it is an acceptable result for England.
However, the Uruguayans cannot accept it at all!
Because if this game draws with England, they will have one draw and one loss in two games, and only one point.
England drew in both games and scored two points.
However, England’s final opponent is Costa Rica, while their opponent is Italy.
Judging from the strength on paper alone, Costa Rica is much weaker than Italy.
In other words, if they want to qualify from the group, they must fight Italy to the death in the final round!
Therefore, they must win this game to take the initiative to qualify in their own hands!
Obviously, Tavares on the sidelines also understands this.
So, he waved his hand and passed his thoughts to his disciples.
Attack!
Win!
After the second kick-off, Uruguay did not hesitate to use the long pass tactics in the backcourt to directly find the twin forwards in front.
However, the English seemed to have expected the Uruguayans to counterattack.
All players retreated, leaving only Rooney in front, standing parallel to the opponent’s defensive core Godin, not allowing him to press forward easily.
With the retreat of front midfielder Ling Feng and two wingers, England’s tactical formation also changed from 4231 to 451.
Facing Uruguay’s continuous long passes from the backcourt, Cahill and Jagielka finally changed their slump in the previous game against Italy, becoming air tyrants and almost dominating the entire aerial ball in the backcourt.
Both of them are central defenders with excellent frontal air defense capabilities and slow turning and chasing speed.
Therefore, they are not afraid of high balls at all, and are most afraid of ground passes and low crosses.
As Cahill and Jagielka continue to grab
Before the ball was headed out of the penalty area, the players from both sides fought fiercely in the midfield for the ball.
It is worth mentioning that after participating in two World Cup group matches, the greatest football event gave Ling Feng the greatest feeling:
The attack and defense rhythm is faster!
Compared with the uneven strength of the teams in the English Championship, the participating teams in the World Cup are the best 23 players from each country.
Therefore, the rhythm and intensity of each game in the World Cup are much stronger than the English Championship!
Ling Feng felt that he had also felt the higher level and more intense rhythm of the game in advance.
There is no doubt that this World Cup trip will definitely help him adapt to the upcoming Premier League!
However, before starting his first Premier League season, he must go all out to help the Three Lions go as far as possible in this World Cup!
The World Cup is an excellent stage for many young stars and super newcomers to become famous, and it is also a holy place in the dreams of countless fans.
Ling Feng is no exception.
Once upon a time, the World Cup was just a grand stage that he imagined in his mind while sitting in front of the TV;
Now, he has stepped onto this dream stage and performed his own performance.
Of course, he hopes that this performance that belongs to him and the Three Lions can last longer.
Let fans all over the world know that there is such a person as him in the world football!
However, Ling Feng did not realize that things were not as simple as he expected.
. . .
In the fierce and high-intensity game, in order to grab the ball, you often have to fight with your opponent.
This will test the confrontation ability of the players on both sides.
Whoever can get the position first will have a better chance to get the ball.
In this fierce confrontation, Ling Feng, who has average confrontation ability, did not go head-to-head with his opponent. Instead, he used his strong explosive power to repeatedly get the ball before his opponent.
This is why he added points to [Explosion] from the beginning!
When competing with opponents for half of the ball, players with better explosive power and speed can often get the ball faster!
Watching Ling Feng repeatedly get the ball first in the fierce competition among muscular men on TV, Pearson, who was far away in Leicester, England, couldn’t help but brighten his eyes.
Then, he took out his mobile phone and called his assistant:
“Steve! Are you watching the game?”
“Of course. What’s wrong?”
“I’m sure that Ling Feng has become faster again!”
“I noticed it too. Could it be that in addition to training at the base, he also hired a professional sprint coach privately to train his speed?”
“Or, has he been hiding his super explosive power in training and competitions, and not using his full strength?”
Hearing this, Pearson’s eyebrows raised sharply.
If it is the former, it can be explained.
But if it is the latter, then this kid is too scheming, right? !
No!
It doesn’t matter whether he is scheming or not. The key is that he can lead Leicester City to sweep the English Championship without using his full strength.
How powerful will he be when he uses his full strength? !
Instantly, Pearson’s mind was full of fantasies.
Although he had already experienced Ling Feng’s amazing talent and top football IQ.
However, he didn’t expect that
For every coach, being able to coach such a talented player and witnessing his growth into a world superstar is an irresistible temptation and honor!
“In any case, his growth rate is really amazing!”
Indeed.
If you want to vote for the fastest rising supernova in world football in 2014, Ling Feng will definitely get the most votes!
In just half a year, he went from a youth team player of the English Championship team to a player in the historic FA Cup, then swept the English Championship, defeated the Premier League team to win the FA Cup, and finally became a new international player who scored in the World Cup!
Such an inspirational story does not need to be arranged at all, it is a script for a Hollywood biopic!
At the same time, the Uruguayan players in the Sao Paulo Stadium also discovered a cruel fact:
The black-haired boy who came on as a substitute in the second half had too much explosive power!
With Ling Feng’s outstanding performance in the midfield area, England slowly regained control of the ball.
The Uruguayans pressed hard and tried to snatch the ball from their opponents.
Little did they know that as the entire formation pressed forward to press high, the space in the back defense was also exposed.
With England
Gran consciously controlled the ball, and the game came to the 80th minute unknowingly.
With little time left, the Uruguayans became more impatient, frequently fouling English players because of their excessive pressing.
In the past ten minutes, Uruguayan players received three yellow cards in succession.
Fortunately, the referee’s penalty standards were relatively strict, and he issued cards in time to control the Uruguayans’ growing anger.
Otherwise, the more violent actions would make the scene even more heated.
Even so, Hodgson used up the remaining two substitutions to protect the core players.
Milner replaced Gerrard and replaced Sturridge with Vardy.
Vardy, who had just come on, was full of energy and very active, and immediately created an opportunity on the left side!
In the 83rd minute of the game, Ling Feng played a wall match with Milner in the midfield and successfully took the ball and turned around.
Then he passed the ball to the unmanned area on the left side of the front court with a diagonal pass.
Vardy, who started to speed up first, and Uruguayan right back Cáceres were both chasing the ball.
Juventus defender Cáceres is a versatile defender with both speed and strength.
Under his desperate pursuit, Vardy could not pass the ball to the middle in the first time, and could only pass it back to Ling Feng who was in the middle.
Seeing Ling Feng receiving the ball, Uruguayan midfielder Rios, who was following him, immediately rushed up.
However, Ling Feng’s expression did not change at all, he just pushed the ball to the right, and with a soup, he directly passed Rios who was rushing up.
The next second, he didn’t even look up, and he swung his right leg directly and sent a surgical knife-like pass to the right side of Uruguay’s ribs!
And a white figure flashed out from the side of the Uruguayan left back!
It was Sterling who successfully countered the offside!
Even if Godin and Jimenez, the two central defenders, chased back, they raised their hands and signaled the linesman to be offside.
But he couldn’t get the linesman to raise the checkered flag or the referee to blow the whistle.
Just like that, Sterling got a great chance to score!
Just when everyone thought the ball was safe, what happened next made everyone drop their jaws:
Maybe he wanted to exert too much strength, or maybe he was too excited about his first World Cup goal.
So when Sterling faced Muslera, he didn’t choose to push the ball into the corner, but violently volleyed it!
With the back of his foot hitting the bottom of the ball hard, there was a “bang” sound, and the ball turned into a cannonball and shot out.
However, the ball did not fly to the goal, but flew over the goal and flew to the fans’ stand behind the goal.
“Sterling! Shoot!”
“Wow! This shot is so powerful, it’s a bit too high”
“Yes, I think he needs to go back and practice shooting”
Seeing this, tens of thousands of English fans at the scene and thousands of English fans in front of the TV all sighed with their heads in their hands.
And Sterling also held his head with both hands, showing an unbelievable expression.
This shot directly made the Uruguayan fans at the scene and in front of the TV sweat.
If this goal was scored, Uruguay would basically stand on the edge of the group stage.
Fortunately, Sterling shot high.
Watching the ball fly into the stands with their own eyes, the other England teammates showed unbelievable expressions.
And Ling Feng, who sent the last pass, immediately spit out foul language:
“Fuck!”
This big guy can’t even score a single shot? !
Sterling, are you playing me? !
While cursing inwardly, Ling Feng suddenly realized a very cruel fact:
The player who shot the goal was none other than Raheem Sterling, who was known as the “Happy Boy”!!!
Thinking about it, Ling Feng suddenly felt that this one-on-one shot was very reasonable.
Too reasonable!
How could he have expectations for the Happy Boy?
After all, the most important thing about playing football is happiness!
However, although Sterling’s shot did not hit the goal range.
But it also sounded the alarm for the Uruguayans.
If it was one to one, there would be one point.
But if it was two to one, there would be no points.
If they got one point and then defeated Italy in the final round, they would still have a chance to qualify from the group.
But if they lost the game, they would basically go home.
So, in the following time, the Uruguayans did not dare to continue to press so hard.
England did not attack either, but just kept passing the ball to pull the opponent’s defense line, focusing on controlling the ball.
In this way, the last minute of the game was reduced to garbage time of passing the ball back in the backcourt.
With the referee’s long whistle, the score finally settled at 1:1
