Chapter 197 Best assist of the season? !

"GOAL~~~GOAL~~~GOAL~~~"

"What an exciting goal!"

"In the last minute of the game, Vardy helped Leicester City equalize the score!"

The next second after watching the ball fly into the empty goal, the calmness on Vardy's face was suddenly replaced by excitement and excitement.

Originally, when he saw Ling Feng making soup from the wing entering the penalty area and facing the goalkeeper alone, he was not sure about Ling Feng passing the ball.

Because Ling Feng did not turn around to observe his or other teammates' movements throughout the whole process.

Therefore, he was not sure that Ling Feng would pass to him in the open position.

However, Vardy chose to follow up.

This is the instinct of being a shooter!

It’s also trust in Ling Feng!

You know, before the start of the season, Ling Feng promised himself that he would continue to pass the ball and assist him.

And this young man never makes a promise he can't fulfill!

Facts have proved that his decision was correct!

Amid the cheers at the King Power Stadium, Vardy, the unparalleled hero, turned around and rushed towards Ling Feng without hesitation, giving him a big hug!

After the hug, he asked with a smile on his face:

"Man, I thought you were going to shoot it yourself!"

But Ling Feng just smiled and said half-seriously:

"I've thought about it. But you're in a better position!"

Yes, that's why he passes the ball!

It's definitely not because he is not confident enough in his shooting skills.

And this answer was very consistent with Ling Feng's playing style, making Vardy smile even brighter:

"Thanks, man! I owe you a feast!"

While they were talking, other teammates rushed towards the two of them and celebrated this precious equalizing goal together.

As Vardy equalized, the reactions of the coaches from both sides were completely different.

Rogers held his head in his hands, showing an expression of pain and helplessness.

Pearson, who was sitting in the stands, excitedly high-fived and hugged the assistant coach Walsh next to him, and kept saying:

"We equalized! We equalized!"

After some celebrations, the game entered stoppage time.

The stoppage time is only three minutes.

Leicester City, with high morale, continued to put pressure on the Red Army's defense.

And with Rogers' big wave of his hand, Liverpool immediately retreated.

He replaced Sterling and replaced defender Lovren, and the entire Red Army retreated to their own half.

Obviously, they just want to keep the tie.

Finally, with a long whistle from referee Oliver, the score of this red-blue battle was fixed at three to three!

The two sides shake hands and make peace!

With Ling Feng feeding the cake in front of the goal in the last minute of regular game time, Vardy scored an absolutely equal goal.

This goal defended Leicester City's unbeaten record at home this season, and also allowed them to score a valuable point against Liverpool!

And Liverpool, after falling behind by two goals in the first half, fought back in the second half and chased three goals in a row, which has fully demonstrated their tenacity and resilience when falling behind.

Although I was defeated in the end, I was a little unwilling.

However, considering the opponent's excellent attack firepower, a draw is an acceptable result.

"Wow, this game is so exciting!"

"I think I must apologize to Ling Feng!"

"I just said that he is not the protagonist of this game. The fact is that I was wrong."

"In this heart-pounding, ups and downs classic battle, he is definitely the absolute protagonist without a doubt!"

"I personally feel that this one-stop assist from the wing that blasted past two people and then reached the penalty area can definitely compete for the best assist of the season!"

"This assist is completely a reflection of personal ability."

"Many wingers, in a one-on-one situation, will never choose to pass the ball selflessly!"

Peter Drury's reputation in British football commentary circles is very high.

This evaluation was also recognized by many fans online.

The term "Ling Feng assists" once ranked among the top ten hot searches!

After the game, Ling Feng, who scored one pass and one goal, and Gerrard, who scored twice, hugged and exchanged jerseys.

The photo of the two embracing once again appeared in major media newspapers the next day.

Many fans feel very lucky.

After both Gerrard and Lampard quit the Three Lions, they at least still have the super genius Ling Feng!

. . .

After shaking hands with Liverpool at home, Leicester City has played against four BIG6 teams this season.

Among them, they defeated Manchester United at home and drew with Arsenal and Liverpool.

They lost to Chelsea away from home.

Judging from this record, newly promoted Leicester City has no stage fright when playing against the top teams in the league this season.

However, in stark contrast to their excellent offensive firepower, is the number of goals they conceded.

After fourteen league rounds, nineteen goals were conceded!

In the eyes of many football experts and commentators, Leicester City's defense still has a lot of room for improvement.

However, everyone at Leicester City is optimistic about this fact.

A defensive system cannot be built overnight.

Since you can't defend, why not focus on offense and try your best to use what the team is good at.

Anyway, as long as one more goal is scored than conceded, victory can be achieved.

Isn’t that what football is all about? !

Three days later, Leicester City traveled non-stop to Birmingham, more than 60 kilometers away.

What greeted them was Aston Villa!

Aston Villa, a veteran football team based in Birmingham, is also one of the founding members of the Premier League.

Villa's results in recent seasons have been very stable.

Almost all of them managed to stay one or two places above the relegation zone.

The team doesn't have any talented players. The only one who has some potential is the team's youth training and household registration book, Jack Grealish, the future Mr. 100 million man who is only 19 years old!

Grealish is now just Aston Villa's main rotation.

However, the ball control and dribbling shown in the game are very rhythmic, and it can be seen that there is something.

For Villa, this game against Leicester City is definitely a good opportunity to score points. Because, in the last fierce battle with Liverpool, the main players in Leicester City suffered a huge physical exertion and have not yet recovered.

Even Ling Feng, who was in good physical condition, showed fatigue visible to the naked eye.

Facing the high-intensity pace and fierce competition of the Premier League for the first time, the nineteen-year-old has done well enough.

However, as the core of Leicester City, he was targeted and violated so much that he ranked second in the Premier League's average number of violations per game, second only to Chelsea's Hazard.

In every game, I was constantly tackled, tackled, and collided by my opponents.

I haven't suffered any major injuries so far, which is considered a blessing among the lucky ones.

It is normal for the state to fluctuate.

After all, humans are not machines

Considering that the final round of the Europa League will be in a few days, after qualifying, a full substitute lineup can be used for training.

And when the time comes, Ling Feng and other main players can also take a full rotation.

Therefore, head coach Pearson did not rest Ling Feng, Vardy, Morgan and other main players who had just played 90 minutes in the last game, but continued to start.

It is worth mentioning that in this away game against Villa, Pearson didn't know where he learned it from, and suddenly he did a little job.

He did not let Ling Feng continue to be the attacking midfielder, but tried to put him in the central midfielder position for the first time to conduct tactical experiments.

He hopes that by retreating, Ling Feng can stay away from the opponent's focus and marking, so as to give full play to his broad vision and passing skills and create more opportunities for his teammates.

These days, every time he sees Ling Feng being violated and fouled by an opponent's player in the stands, Pearson is the one who feels the most distressed besides Ling Feng's parents.

Therefore, he hopes that in this way, he can reduce the number of times Ling Feng is violated on the court!

Next to Ling Feng, he sent Nick Powell, a young midfielder on loan from Manchester United.

Pearson hopes that the partnership between the two can create some sparks in the midfield, thereby enriching the team's tactical mix and allowing Powell to share some of Lingfeng's organizational responsibilities.

It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

With the advantage of home court, every one of Villa's players seemed to be pumped up and full of energy.

Especially under the successive attacks of Benteke and Agbonlahor, Leicester City's pitifully slow defense was overwhelmed.

On the other hand, Leicester City's side, although it is in a deep position and without the personal marking of the opponent's players, Ling Feng can calmly control the rhythm in the midfield area and sort out the attack.

But being away from the goal also prevents his offensive talents from being fully unleashed.

Moreover, because Powell's defensive ability is very average, he even has to defend defensively!

Even so, he is still the best player in Leicester City!

He sent four key passes in the midfield area throughout the game.

It's a pity that his teammates were in a very sluggish state in this game, and their shots either missed or were caught by the opponent's goalkeeper.

And before he was about to be replaced, he forced a breakthrough in the middle and created a free kick opportunity at the front of the penalty area.

Mahrez, who came on as a substitute, scored directly from a free kick to bring the score back to one.

Even so, Leicester City suffered a disappointing defeat at Villa Park.

It also gave Aston Villa their first home win since August!

At the same time, it also caused the advancing Blue Fox to suffer its third defeat of the season.

It is worth mentioning that the three games lost this season were all away from home!

Although it has not yet reached the level of "dragon at home and worm at away"

However, this also proves the old saying - away games in the Premier League are particularly difficult!

And after witnessing the loss to Villa, Pearson also understood that Ling Feng's best position is the attacking midfielder!

Being in a deeper position will only keep Ling Feng away from the goal and forward, burying his offensive talents.

Moreover, it will also allow him to waste his energy on defense.

Like Pearson, Ling Feng was not satisfied with his performance as a central midfielder.

Although this game only lasted seventy minutes.

However, Ling Feng felt that he was even more tired than the last game against Liverpool.

On the one hand, compared to starting players such as Vardy and Mahrez, Leicester City's substitute strength is much worse.

On the one hand, his position is delayed, which causes him to take on more responsibilities on both offense and defense.

However, football is a team sport.

As strong as Melo or Ronaldo, he can't lead the whole team by himself!

What's more, him? !

. . .

The devilish schedule in December is a fresh test for Leicester City, whose lineup is not very deep.

Continuous games have caused obvious problems in the physical fitness of the players.

The team's training has basically been replaced by lower-intensity recovery training.

Unfortunately, the high-intensity pace of the game has not caused injuries to the team. Instead, some minor accidents have caused the team to suffer attrition:

In an ordinary tactical training session, the team's number one goalkeeper Schmeichel accidentally suffered a metatarsal fracture and will be injured for at least a month.

Fortunately, a few days after losing to Villa, Leicester City ushered in the final group match of the Europa League.

After defeating the Warsaw Legion at home in the last round, Leicester City has an unbeaten record of four wins and one draw after five rounds, with 13 points.

Warsaw Legion, second in the group, has 9 points, and Trabzonspor, third in the group, has 7 points.

In other words, no matter whether they win or lose in the final round, Leicester City has secured first place in the group in advance and advanced to the knockout stage of the Europa League!

Therefore, Pearson, who was afraid that other main players would also be injured, very generously announced that Ling Feng, Vardy, Mahrez and others would have three days off and would not have to follow the team to Ukraine to participate in the final round of the group stage.

Ushering in the rare holiday, Ling Feng immediately shared the good news with Barbara, who was filming in Paris.

And proposed to go to Paris to meet him:

"Is your filming going well? How about I go to Paris to meet you and let's go shopping together?"

"I'm not sure. I don't know when the shooting mission will end. Even if you come, I may not have time to accompany you."

Barbara's somewhat cold answer made Ling Feng a little surprised and a little disappointed.

However, he is not the kind of man who wants his girlfriend to give up her career.

"Well, work is urgent. When you are done, it won't be too late for us to make an appointment."

That night, Ling Feng couldn't sleep.

He began to think, obviously the two of them had a good chat, why did Barbara decline when he proposed to find the other party?

Could it be that she doesn't like herself at all and is just raising herself like a fish?

Or is he playing hard to get?

Ling Feng suddenly felt that things like feelings were much more complicated than football.

However, on the afternoon of the next day, Ling Feng, who was playing FIFA in the game room, suddenly received a call from Barbara:

"it's me."

"Barbara?"

"Well. Are you at home now?"

"Yes."

"I'm in Paris now, getting ready to get on the plane. I'll land at London Heathrow Airport in about an hour. So... are you coming to pick me up?"

Barbara's call caught Ling Feng off guard, and it immediately dispelled his inner worries.

So, without any hesitation, he answered directly:

"Of course!"
