As the game ended, the head coaches of both sides shook hands immediately.

"You guys played well in this game."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Compared to last time in the FA Cup, you have become stronger. Especially that boy Ling Feng"

Mourinho was deeply impressed by Ling Feng, a young man who single-handedly reversed the Blues' victory in the FA Cup.

He was also the first head coach to see Ling Feng's amazing talent and predict in public that Ling Feng would definitely become a top player!

However, Ling Feng's performance in this game still surprised Mourinho.

He didn't expect that in just over half a year, Ling Feng had grown a lot!
In addition to his consistent accurate passing and super high golf IQ, he has also developed the ability to shoot long distances!
Moreover, he also showed super explosive power and speed.

In Mourinho's more than ten years of coaching career, he has seen countless talented players and worked with many top players.

However, no one could bring him a different surprise every time they met like Ling Feng.

In fact, before the summer transfer window even started, Mourinho had privately discussed with Mendes the possibility of Ling Feng transferring to Chelsea.

At that time, Mourinho was looking for a midfield commander for the team.

And he took a fancy to Ling Feng and Cesc Fabregas, who was frustrated in Barcelona.

The former is his first choice!
After all, compared to the 27-year-old Xiaofa, whose skills have already matured, the 19-year-old Ling Feng is amazingly talented and obviously has more development value and room for improvement.

The £3000 million termination fee in Ling Feng's contract is nothing to the wealthy Chelsea.

The key lies in Ling Feng's willingness to transfer.

After asking Mendes for his opinion and confirming that Ling Feng would not leave Leicester City in a short time, Mourinho turned to the next best thing and directly acquired Fabregas.

Hearing that Mourinho was so concerned about Ling Feng's growth, Pearson's brows jumped slightly and a warning bell sounded in his heart.

He has not forgotten that Chelsea also offered Ling Feng a price during the summer transfer window!
But after thinking about it, Pearson was relieved.

A super-talented player like Ling Feng, who is overflowing with talent and possesses both skills and looks, what club head coach wouldn’t want him? !
. . .

Standing on the turf of Stamford Bridge, listening to the Blues fans singing songs of victory, Ling Feng felt a little reluctant with his hands on his hips.

In just the second round, they suffered their first defeat in the Premier League.

However, losing by one goal to Chelsea, the favorite to win this season, is acceptable.

According to Ling Feng's knowledge, Chelsea won the final Premier League championship this season.

Thinking about it this way, it is not a shame for the newly promoted Leicester City to lose only one goal at the home court of the future Premier League champions.

After all, there is indeed a gap in player strength between the two teams.
Moreover, this game made him realize his shortcomings.

In addition to his dribbling and finishing abilities, which are inherently weak, his core abilities as a midfielder are still not good enough.

Although he has the top ability to pass threatening balls.

However, compared to the experienced Cesc Fabregas, he is still slightly less experienced in controlling the rhythm of the attack, as well as scheduling and stretching the opponent's defense to create openings for his teammates.

Especially after his explosiveness and speed increased, he would sometimes immediately think of solving the problem by making soup instead of using running moves and passing passes to create space.

After all, it feels so good to outshine others and let your opponent eat your own exhaust!
Now that I think about it, I am not a traditional winger who relies on speed to pass people and then cross, but a frontcourt organizer!

The team needs him to organize the offense, connect teammates with passes, and tear apart the opponent's defense.

Sometimes he even shoots from long range to attack the goal, or outflanks him for the final blow.

As for using burst and speed to get rid of or pass people, it is all to better create a means for him to handle the ball calmly.

In short, he cannot rely solely on speed to play football, but must use his brain to make reasonable decisions at the appropriate time!
"It seems that we should watch more videos of midfield masters like Pirlo and Xavi."

He still has a long way to go before becoming a true midfield maestro
After hugging and greeting his teammates, Ling Feng took the initiative to find Hazard and offered to exchange jerseys with him.

Azar also readily agreed.

After exchanging jerseys, Ling Feng did not forget to add:
"By the way, Eden, let's close each other's social media accounts. Next time I have a chance to come to London, I'll treat you to a burger."

Hearing this, Azar was taken aback for a moment, and then asked curiously in English with a French accent:

"How do you know I like burgers?"

"I heard that." Ling Feng responded without blushing, "By the way, how many burgers can you eat in one meal?"

"The most one time was twelve!"

Seeing Azar's proud face, Ling Feng tried hard to hold back the urge to burst into laughter and gave him a thumbs up:
"Cow batch!"

As expected of Burger King!

The man of the match in this game went to Cesc Fabregas, who controlled the team's rhythm throughout the game and provided two assists.

It only took two games for Xiaofa to return to the Premier League and once again show the world his top creativity.

It is foreseeable that his frontcourt combination with Costa will become Chelsea's biggest weapon in competing for the Premier League championship this season!
At the post-match press conference, Mourinho, who led Chelsea to two consecutive victories, naturally became the focus of the media.

Facing questions from the media, he first praised his team's performance, and then very friendly recognized Leicester City's performance in this game, which was not like a newly promoted team at all.

He also specifically pointed out Ling Feng's huge threat and believed that he would be at home in Leicester City.

Pearson also believes that Chelsea is strong and definitely the favorite to win the championship this season.
After finishing the press conference and returning to the locker room, Pearson's first words were:
"Guys, it was a very rewarding game!"

For Leicester City, losing to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is hardly the end of the world.

Instead, Pearson sees it as a learning process.

This game can tell the Leicester City generals a fact very intuitively:
They are no longer in the Championship, but in the Premier League!
The opponents we face are no longer Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton, Doncaster and other teams, but Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and other teams!
They have to adapt to the intensity and rhythm of the Premier League, as well as new and powerful opponents, so as to gain a firm foothold in this league.
The team bus slowly left the Stamford Bridge stadium. Ling Feng, sitting by the window, looked at the outline of the stadium and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Although there is indeed a clear gap in strength between the two sides.

However, he doesn't like losing.

It can be said that no professional player likes to lose, except for some people who just kill chickens or fish for a living.

Therefore, Ling Feng decided!
Next time he comes to this stadium, he wants to win!

. . .

The next day.

Both the media, newspapers and the "Match Day" program have analyzed and reviewed this wonderful game after the game.

They didn't care too much about winning or losing.

Because in the pre-match predictions, most people believed that the Blues at home could defeat Leicester City.And the result of the game was not an upset.

However, they were still a little surprised that Leicester City only lost one goal at the Blue Bridge.

Although he still sent out an assist in this game, and the game rating reached 7.15 points.

However, Ling Feng's performance in this game was indeed not as amazing as the first game against Everton.

Therefore, in order to attract attention and traffic, some tabloids directly wrote articles claiming that Ling Feng could not adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League and his true colors would soon be revealed!
And his dominant performance against Everton in the first round was just because the opponent was not familiar with his playing style.
Many fans of other Premier League clubs also feel that Ling Feng is not strong enough to lead the team alone and does not have the personal ability to turn the tide at critical moments.
Views such as these appear on the Internet.

However, Lingfeng fans and some football commentators don't think so!

They all stood up one after another and supported Ling Feng in various ways.
Someone directly listed Ling Feng's data when he played against the Premier League team in the FA Cup last season!

Last season, Ling Feng turned the tide many times, helping the team reverse the Premier League and win the FA Cup all the way, which is enough to prove that he is a big scene man!

Some people made a rational analysis based on player strength and team value:

The entire Leicester City team is worth 8000 million euros, and Ling Feng alone accounts for 3000 million.

What about Chelsea?

The entire team is worth 4000 million euros!
More than five times that of Leicester City!
Moreover, Chelsea's team is full of experienced and long-established stars in the top league.

What about Leicester City?
Except for Ling Feng, Vardy and Mahrez, who are considered stars, the rest are all "ordinary players" who have not experienced top leagues.

Against this backdrop of disparity in strength, Ling Feng was able to lead the team in a back-and-forth game with Chelsea. In the end, they only lost one goal, which was enough to prove his core role!
Among them, Leicester City legend and diehard Lineker, the host of "Match Day", directly tweeted in support of Ling Feng:

"Are some people too harsh on this young man?!"

"You know, he is only 19 years old, and he is already very good if he can play the main role in a Premier League team."

"Even Messi, Ronaldo and Zidane lose, but that doesn't stop them from becoming great players!"

"Of course, Ling Feng still has a lot of room for improvement."

"What we have to do is not start putting too much pressure on this young man just because he loses a game."

"As for whether Ling Feng can adapt to the Premier League, let's wait until the end of the season before drawing a conclusion!"

Ling Feng didn't expect that just after losing a game, some people would start to question his ability.

Of course, Ling Feng didn't care at all about these irrelevant tabloids, random news written just to attract attention.

For the sake of traffic, it is perfectly normal to fabricate facts and deliberately hype things up.

This is the media!
However, before he could decide whether to respond on Twitter, many players and friends sent him text messages of encouragement or comfort.

What surprised him most was that Kendall, who was far away in the United States, actually called!

During the phone call, Kendou said that he watched the game between Leicester City and Chelsea and knew that he lost.

So I called him specifically to comfort him.

Ling Feng was both surprised and a little touched by Kendall's thoughts.

The pair haven't been in contact for so long since they turned down Kendall's overtures for coffee last month.

He thought he had been blocked by the other party.

Unexpectedly, Kendall took the initiative to break the ice and called herself.

Let’s not talk about whether she was bored or doing it to raise fish. From her description, we can know that she did watch her own game.

This is not easy for an Internet celebrity model who is not interested in football and knows nothing about it.

It is worth mentioning that after comforting Ling Feng, Kendall told him that she was going to participate in the Milan Fashion Week show next month and asked him if he had time to watch her show.

In response, Ling Feng wanted to refuse immediately.

However, after thinking about it, it is not impossible to take a day to attend fashion week.

Perhaps during the show, some fashion brand took a fancy to him and asked him to endorse it?
Football is his passion and his job.

However, he also has his own life outside of work.

So, Ling Feng thought for a few seconds and decided to accept Kendall's invitation.

Of course, in addition to possible commercial endorsements, he is also very curious about the legendary fashion week.

Besides, how could he miss such an occasion with so many beauties?

. . .

a few days later.

A piece of big news stole the attention of the entire English football world:
The 36-year-old Blues legend "Magic Lamp" Lampard held a press conference and, accompanied by the national team coach Hodgson, announced that he would retire from the national team!

In fact, the English football circle had already anticipated this incident.

As early as late last month, Gerrard took the lead in holding a press conference and publicly announced his retirement from the national team to focus on the club.

Now that Lampard has done this, it can be regarded as officially bringing an unsatisfactory end to the era of "double virtues".

In the summer window of this season, Lampard did not wait for Chelsea to renew his contract. He had no choice but to end his 13-year relationship with Chelsea and joined the American Major League team New York FC.

Then he joined the Premier League team Manchester City on loan!

Obviously, the Blues legend hopes to continue playing in the Premier League, and then use his own strength to tell Chelsea whether he is old and honest and can still make a living!
Moreover, he scored 171 goals in the Premier League, only four goals shy of Henry's 175 goals.

Of course, he also hopes to surpass Henry and climb to fourth place on the list of most goals in Premier League history.

At the press conference, Lampard admitted that he should give way to young people.

Especially since the Three Lions have a talented young player like Ling Feng, he can rest assured to focus on the club.

Like Gerrard, who retired from the national team last month, Lampard also mentioned Ling Feng in the interview.

Both "Shuangde" believe that Lingfeng will be the future of the Three Lions!

As soon as the press conference ended, Ling Feng immediately sent a text message to Lampard to stay.

Just like he did last month when Gerrard announced his retirement from the national team.

And Lampard had only one message for him:

"Young man, I hope you will become the pillar of the Three Lions!"
