Full-Level Pass, Please Call Me The Boss Of The Three Lions - Chapter 122
The first time, the second time.
Chapter 122 A pass that fooled the whole world [4,000-word chapter]
“A beautiful breakthrough!”
“It’s over!”
“Ling Feng. Cross!”
Ling Feng’s arc cross was completely different from Sturridge’s pass just now.
The ball drew a beautiful inner arc in the air, just bypassing a central defender in front and flying to the front of the goal in the small penalty area.
At this time, Rooney just got rid of the entanglement of another central defender and went to meet the ball.
He was very accurate in the landing point of the ball.
At the moment when the ball bounced off the ground, Rooney swung his right leg directly and slammed the ball with the inside of his foot accurately.
The next second, the ball “banged” and shot towards the goal!
At the moment when Rooney shot, not only Ling Feng, but also other teammates and the English fans in the stadium thought that the ball was in!
It had already entered the small penalty area, the distance was too close, and the ball was fast.
In theory, no matter how fast the goalkeeper reacted, it was impossible to save Rooney’s shot.
However, Navas’s position in front of the goal was very good, just putting the ball in the far corner of the goal and blocking the near corner.
So that this close shot actually hit his left shoulder and flew out of the bottom line by brushing the goal post!
Seeing this, a sigh suddenly sounded in the Mineirão Stadium!
Seeing that such a close shot did not penetrate the goal guarded by Navas, Rooney held his head with both hands, with an expression of disbelief.
Rubbing his face hard, Rooney did not forget to turn around and give a thumbs up to Ling Feng who passed the ball well.
Seeing this, Ling Feng suddenly remembered a big black guy wearing a red Manchester United jersey, who also liked to like his teammates who passed the ball after the shot missed.
This made Ling Feng wonder in his heart:
Do all your Manchester United strikers like to like this?
Or is this Manchester United’s corporate culture?
Although there was no goal, this volley shot still received applause from the fans on the scene.
As England’s top star and the best shooter of the Three Lions, they really hope that Rooney can score in the World Cup.
Ling Feng came to the corner flag area and prepared to take the corner kick.
Since he showed his unique passing ability in training and games, he basically took over the long-distance free kicks and corner kicks in the Three Lions team.
This can also be regarded as a kind of affirmation of him by the coach and the improvement of his status in the national team.
In just five games, he became an indispensable member of the Three Lions!
England’s central defender partner Cahill and Jagielka also came to Costa Rica’s penalty area.
For a moment, the entire penalty area was filled with players from both sides pushing and shoving!
Set-pieces are an effective way to break through dense defenses.
As long as the set-pieces are well-taken, threats can be created in front of the goal, or chaos can be created.
At this time, Ling Feng glanced at Gerrard, who was standing outside the penalty area with only one person guarding him, and a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
“Rahim!”
Following the sound, Sterling saw Ling Feng waving at him.
The former looked puzzled, but still ran to the corner flag area obediently.
“Dude, what’s wrong?”
Covering his mouth with his hand, Ling Feng said in a deep voice:
“Let’s play a match. Pass the ball back to me later, and I’ll pass it inside to create a time difference.”
Hearing this, Sterling raised his eyebrows and nodded in response:
“Okay!”
The brief exchange between the two was seen by everyone.
“Ling didn’t take the corner kick directly, but called Sterling to his side and said something.”
“Are they going to play a tactic?”
Accompanied by the commentator’s doubts, the referee blew the whistle.
With a “beep”, Sterling, who was pretending to run back, suddenly ran back and rushed to the corner flag area.
And Ling Feng passed it to him with a short pass.
Seeing England take a tactical corner kick, the opponent’s defender immediately pressed up and prevented Sterling from turning around and breaking through easily.
You know, in the past two games, Sterling’s ability to break through the wing is the sharpest point of the entire Three Lions.
Before the game, Costa Rica’s head coach Pinto also emphasized this point to his players.
When Sterling receives the ball, he must be closely guarded and not let him turn around and break through!
However, Sterling did not stop the ball, but directly kicked the ball back to Ling Feng who was a little later.
The latter swung his right leg in a big way, pretending to kick a cross!
Ling Feng’s cross almost created a goal just now.
Now, how could the Costa Rican players let him cross easily? !
“Don’t let him cross!”
“Push forward!”
Amid the shouts of his teammates, the Costa Rican left back immediately gave up Sterling and jumped up directly, trying to block Ling Feng’s cross route with his body.
In the penalty area, the players of both sides also pushed and shoved, trying to compete for a favorable position and a header.
Teammates, opponents, and fans of both sides at the scene, everyone thought Ling Feng was going to cross.
Even the live broadcast camera was deceived by Ling Feng’s action and moved directly into the penalty area.
Unexpectedly, Ling Feng unloaded most of his strength at the moment of his last swing of his leg to touch the ball, and his ankle bent.
The next second, the ball shot out!
However, the direction in which the ball flew was not the crowded penalty area, but close to the grass, rolling towards the middle at high speed!
This pass was beyond everyone’s expectations.
“Cross!”
“No, it’s a low cross pass!”
At the same time, seeing the ball coming, Gerrard suddenly tensed up and sped up.
He ran directly past Ruiz, the Costa Rican midfielder and captain who was guarding him, and shot the ball!
“Gerard!!”
Accompanied by the commentator’s suddenly high voice, the ball flew out like a cannonball!
It is worth mentioning that the ball did not rotate at all, but just seemed to be still in the air, hanging straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
Perhaps because there were too many people in the penalty area, blocking the view, when the ball passed through the crowd and flew towards the goal, it was too late for Navas to react.
Even though he jumped to save the ball at the first moment, he could only watch the ball go into the upper right corner of the goal, and “swoosh” hit the white net hard, creating ripples!
The next second, cheers rang out throughout the Mineirão Stadium!
“Captain of England!”
“He’s done a great job!!!”
“What a beautiful long shot! This shot reminds me of that night in Istanbul.”
Under the passionate voice of the commentator, Gerrard rushed to the stands where the English fans were, and slid to his knees.
After sliding to his knees and getting up, he took advantage of the situation and hit Liverpool with an uppercut, roaring:
“Come On!!!”
Seeing this, the English fans in the stands shouted “Gerrard” while excitedly rushing to the stands.
One by one, the English fans were blushing and excited.
The camera also gave the former England captain Beckham who was watching the game in the stands.
Beckham just stood up and applauded his successor in the national team with a smile on his face.
Amid the cheers and applause in the stadium, other players of the Three Lions also rushed to Gerrard’s side and surrounded him.
Turning around, Gerrard immediately hugged Ling Feng, who passed the ball to him:
“Ling, good pass!”
“Steven, what a cool long shot! You must teach me when you have time!”
As one of the best heavy gunners in the Three Lions and world football, Ling Feng believes that under Gerrard’s guidance, his [Long Shot] attribute can be increased by a few points!
Hearing this, Gerrard smiled lightly and agreed immediately:
“Haha, no problem!”
After hugging one by one, Sterling suddenly blocked Ling Feng’s way.
“Ling, didn’t you just say to pass the ball directly? You even lied to your teammates?!”
Faced with Sterling’s joking “questioning”, Ling Feng just smiled and explained:
“The key to this pass is here! If even you don’t know where I’m passing, how can the opponent know that I will pass the ball directly to Steven?!”
Hearing this, Sterling was stunned, and then nodded.
This does make sense.
However, this guy who is half a year younger than me is too damn cunning!
Fortunately, he is my teammate
Looking at Sterling who was a little stunned, Ling Feng just raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said in a condescending manner:
“Next time you have a chance, you can also try this trick.”
As the replay of this goal was broadcast on TV in various countries around the world, many commentators made their own comments:
“Half of the credit for this goal should be attributed to England’s No. 15 Ling Feng!”
“His fake move is similar to Pirlo’s missed ball in the first round of England’s match against Italy! Both fooled the whole world!”
“He is England’s Pirlo!”
“This is Ling Feng’s three games
The second assist. In three group matches, he contributed one goal and two assists. This 19-year-old English player who participated in the World Cup for the first time is showing his amazing talent to the world! ”
“Unfortunately, if he had completed the assist in the last game, he would have become the first player to contribute assists in three consecutive games in the World Cup”
Yes.
If Sterling had scored that single-handed goal in the last game against Uruguay, Ling Feng could have created a new record and become the first player to have assists in three consecutive World Cup games!
It’s a pity that Ling Feng didn’t know this.
If he knew, he would at least give Sterling a roll of the eyes.
Mad, can you be so happy?!
Waste an assist for me.
…
The 20th minute of the game.
With Gerrard’s long-range shot penetrating Costa Rica’s goal, the score on the field came to one to zero!
The progress of the game is very favorable to England.
If this score remains When the final whistle sounded, no matter what the score of the other match between Italy and Uruguay was, England would qualify as the second in the group together with Costa Rica!
After falling behind, Costa Rica did not change its tactics and pressed out its formation, but continued to maintain a 541 defensive posture.
Under the comfort and encouragement of Costa Rican head coach and captain Ruiz, the morale of Costa Rican players did not fluctuate too much.
After all, this kind of unsolvable long-range world wave really can’t be blamed on the goalkeeper or the back line.
It’s mainly because Ling Feng’s fake move was too realistic, and Gerrard’s long-range shot was too beautiful.
This kind of flash of inspiration from a star is often impossible to predict or prevent in advance.
Stars are able to do things that ordinary players can’t do!
After taking the lead, the players of the Three Lions were more confident on the field.
As a result of being too confident, the forwards of the Three Lions wanted to turn into Gerrard and shoot at the goal guarded by Navas.
Among them, Sturridge was the most “confident”.
Due to Sterling’s frequent upheavals on the right, Costa Rica focused on him.
Moreover, the players in the middle were too dense to pass the ball to Rooney.
Therefore, Ling Feng could only transfer the ball to the left side of the weak side again, allowing Sturridge to create a threat on the left side.
However, every time he got the ball at his feet, Sturridge would dribble and break through without caring.
Sturridge in the 13-14 season was definitely one of the strongest strikers in the Premier League!
His speed, footwork His technique and shooting skills are first-rate.
Especially seeing that even Gerrard has scored a goal, and he, as the main striker of the Three Lions, has not scored a goal.
Sturridge couldn’t help but get a little anxious.
However, the more impatient he was to score a goal, the more he wanted to use his personal ability to solve the problem.
But in front of Costa Rica’s tight and united defense, the more he fought alone, the less likely he was to score.
He had obviously attracted two or three players on the left side to defend. As long as he passed the ball to the middle, Ling Feng or Rooney could get space to shoot.
But he just didn’t pass!
Either he forced a shot and was blocked by the opponent; or he was trapped in a double team and was intercepted.
After Sturridge lost the ball repeatedly, Costa Rica, which rarely got the ball, launched a quick counterattack directly from the wing.
There was even one time when he directly hit the hinterland of England and almost formed a cross.
If the left back Baines had not been focused enough and blocked the opponent’s pass with his foot, it might have posed a certain threat to England’s goal.
It would be fine if he was alone.
After losing the ball, Sturridge didn’t chase back with all his strength!
This is unacceptable!
Although the team is leading in the score, it is still very morale-destroying to lose the ball so frequently because of personal dribbling.
Even though Ling Feng was very unhappy with Sturridge’s single-handed behavior and his lazy attitude after losing the ball.
But he still resisted the urge to curse.
However, he had already made up his mind not to pass the ball to Sturridge again.
Damn, you like to dribble, right? You like not to pass the ball, right?
If I don’t pass the ball to you, let’s see what you can dribble!
However, his silence does not mean that other teammates will indulge his bad habits!
After being intercepted again and losing the ball without chasing back, Gerrard helped him clean up the mess on the wing and shoveled the opponent’s pass out of the sideline. The captain of the Three Lions directly scolded:
“Daniel! How many times have you done this! Why didn’t you chase back after losing the ball?!”
“Also, pass the ball to your teammates! If you keep being so selfish, you will get off the field!”
As the captain of Liverpool and England, Gerrard’s leadership ability
and majesty, no doubt.
Facing Gerrard’s foul language, Sturridge didn’t dare to say a word, but timidly gave Gerrard a thumbs up, indicating that he knew.
Looking at this scene, Ling Feng raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help but give Gerrard a thumbs up in his heart:
Good scolding!
I’ll post one chapter first, and then write the second chapter. If I can’t finish it, I’ll make it up tomorrow.
Anyway, I have to make it up!
