Chapter 95 Mader, Wenger poached me in front of my face? ! 【[-]-in-[-]】

2014 5 Month 17 Day.

London, Wembley Stadium.

This largest modern stadium in Europe ushered in the annual FA Cup final.

In the stadium, Jingwei is clearly divided into two camps: red and blue.

Even a few neutral fans will buy an Arsenal jersey or a Leicester City scarf outside the stadium.

However, at a glance, there are still many fans wearing Arsenal jerseys.

After all, it is a Premier League giant and it is in a metropolis like London. Its popularity and fans are unmatched by Leicester City.

Even in terms of numbers, after reaching the FA Cup final after many years, almost all the fans in the small city of Leicester City came out.

There are [-] seats, excluding some neutral fans, but there are still [-] Blue Fox fans who came to the scene to cheer for their team.

The [-] fans, including men, women, old and young, account for almost one-tenth of the entire population of Leicester!

One can imagine how much Leicester people attach great importance to this final!

Amid the singing competition between the two sides, Leicester City's players were the first to enter the stadium for pre-match warm-up sessions.

Especially when Ling Feng's handsome face appeared on the big screen in the stadium, the Blue Fox fans in the stadium suddenly burst into deafening cheers!
It was also mixed with the screams of many female fans.

Ling Feng also raised his hands and waved to the fans in the stands.

In addition to Blue Fox fans, many Arsenal fans also know this black-haired young man.

"Is this the guy Wenger personally called to invite him to join in the winter window?"

"Yes, if he can come in the winter window, maybe we won't fall behind at the critical moment of the championship."

"You pin your team's championship hopes on a kid."

"You don't understand, his performance in the English Championship this season is simply phenomenal. Not only did he contribute more than a dozen goals and more than 30 assists, he won the double best award of the season, and was also selected for the World Cup. [-]-person preliminary list”

"He is the strongest player in Leicester City. No! The strongest player in the entire English Championship!"

"so smart?!"

"You will know in the game later. I feel that he is the most threatening person in Leicester City's formation."

The warm-up session before the game only lasted 15 minutes.

However, after returning to the locker room, what surprised Ling Feng was that his teammates seemed a little nervous.

Vardy, who always likes to play music before games, did not. He just sat there silently tying the laces of his sneakers.

However, Ling Feng noticed that after he finished tying his shoelaces, he seemed not satisfied, so he loosened the shoelaces and tied them again;
Brother Drinking, who likes to play barefoot with the ball to get the feeling before the game, did not play the ball. He just wore headphones and listened to the music quietly.

Originally Ling Feng didn't feel nervous at all.

But I was also infected by the emotions of my teammates, and suddenly felt that I was a little too relaxed.
In the locker room, no one was chatting, and no music was playing, just wearing jerseys and equipment silently.

Therefore, when head coach Pearson and the coaching staff entered the locker room, they felt the silence and tension in the locker room.

Of all Leicester City's first-team players, only a handful have ever played in a cup final.

Among them, right back Paul Konchesky is the player who has entered the cup finals the most times in the entire team.

This experienced former England international reached the FA Cup final with West Ham United in the 05-06 season, and also reached the Europa League final with Fulham in the 09-10 season.

During his playing career, coach Pearson also reached the FA Cup final.

Therefore, they can understand the emotions of their players at this moment.

I saw that he did not directly pull out the tactical board and tell the players the tactical details as usual.

Instead, he clapped his hands, focused everyone's attention, and said loudly:
"Look, guys, I believe this is the first final for most of our players."

"So, it's normal to feel nervous and apprehensive."

"But what I want to tell you is that you have done a great job this season!"

This curse word blurted out made the Leicester City generals cheer up and focus more on the coach's words:
"We have done well enough in the past season. We won the league championship ahead of schedule and achieved our goal of promotion."

"And reaching the FA Cup final is an unexpected surprise for our outstanding performance."

"No matter what the final result of this game is, it cannot negate the hard work and sweat we have put in over the past season."

“So, don’t feel any pressure and just play your best on the court!”

After saying that, Pearson clapped to himself.

The coaching staff also applauded.

Amid the applause, Captain Morgan stood up suddenly, took over the conversation, and said in a deep voice:

"Have you heard what the boss said?!"

"Get in a circle!"

Under the leadership of Morgan, everyone stood up and stood in a circle, putting their hands on each other's shoulders.

"Let's have fun!"

"Blue fox, go forward!"

The next second, all the Leicester City generals' eyes narrowed, and they shouted in unison with all their strength:

"Blue Fox, move forward!!!"

. . .

The walls on both sides of the player tunnel have already been replaced with promotional posters of the two teams.

One side is red and one side is blue.

Red and blue have always produced many exciting and fierce duels!

The promotional figures of Arsenal posters are Ramsey and Koscielny.

The two made huge contributions as Arsenal advanced to the FA Cup final.

And on the Leicester City poster, there are Ling Feng and Vardy!

In addition to having the absolute core position of the team, Leicester City Club has also gradually established Ling Feng as the club's image spokesperson outside the stadium.

Players from both teams also came to the tunnel from the locker room one after another, preparing to line up for admission.

Ling Feng, who was wearing the No. 23 jersey of the Blue Fox, also turned to look at Arsenal's formation.
There were no smoke bombs or signs of weakness.

The FA Cup championship is right in front of us, and both coaches have put forward their strongest lineups.

It is worth mentioning that the tactical formations of both sides are 4231.

For Arsenal, the goalkeeper is Polish Fabianski.

The four defenders, from left to right, are Gibbs, Koscielny, Mertesacker and Sagna.

Of the three midfielders, Arteta and Ramsey partner in the midfield, with Ergo positioned slightly ahead.

On the left and right are "Prince Polti" Podolski and "Third Brother" Cazorla!

At the forefront is Frenchman Olivier Giroud!
As for Leicester, the goalkeeper position is still as stable as an old dog, Schmeichel.

The four defenders are Schlupp, Morgan, Moore and De Wright.

It is worth mentioning that England U21 teenager Liam Moore, who is of Jamaican origin, replaced the old central defender Waselski in the second half of this season and became captain Morgan's central defender partner.

Morgan is experienced and has strong frontal air defense capabilities, but is slow to turn and pursue.

Moore has outstanding physical fitness and fast speed, which can complement Morgan.

The three midfielders, "Water Drinking Brother" Drinkwater and Matty James, the former Manchester United twin stars, stayed behind to protect the sudden breakthrough.This is the iron triangle of Leicester City's midfield this season, and it is also the way Leicester City controls the midfield.

On the left and right are Nugent and Mahrez.

The single arrow is the team's top scorer in the Championship, Jamie Vardy!
He basically knows all of Arsenal's starting 11 players.

Of course, I don’t know if people recognize him or not.

However, what Ling Feng can be sure of is that he just met Ramsey at the PFA awards ceremony!
"Hey, Alan!"

Looking around, Ramsey couldn't help but smile when he saw Ling Feng greeting him:

"Ling, are you okay?"

"Not bad, how about you?"

"good."

After briefly chatting with the only player he knew in the Arsenal team, Ling Feng turned around and prepared to return to his team.

But unexpectedly, Wenger, tall and dressed in a suit, suddenly appeared in front of him!
"Professor" Wenger was exactly the same as what he saw on TV!
Wise and firm eyes, elegant temperament
Wenger is obviously a different style of coach than the "madman" he has seen before.

In an instant, Ling Feng could not help but feel ripples in his heart!
Sure enough, there were only wrong names, not wrong nicknames!

The next second, he took the lead in showing a smile and greeted the Arsenal godfather:

"Mr. Wenger! How are you?"

"I'm fine, Ling, we finally meet."

The two shook hands, and Ling Feng sighed:
"Yeah, I didn't expect to meet your team at Wembley before they were promoted to the Premier League."

"Haha, maybe it's special fate that allowed us to meet in advance."

After a pause, Wenger couldn't help but joke:
"If you had accepted my invitation at that time, maybe you would be wearing an Arsenal shirt now and standing on my side instead of opposite."

The Arsenal players who listened to the conversation between the two men with their ears pricked up showed expressions of surprise invariably.

They have worked with Wenger for so long, and they can definitely hear the regret in their head coach's tone.

Does the boss admire this boy so much? !
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment by Wenger's words, and then said with a smile:

"Haha, yes. There are many moments in life when you need to make a choice, and no one can say whether the choice you make is the right one. I only know that every choice I make, I will never regret."

"What do you think, Mr. Wenger?"

These philosophical words were spoken by a young man. Wenger raised his eyebrows and nodded:
"I completely agree with your point of view!"

After actually meeting him, Wenger realized that this young man really had a maturity and stability that was beyond his peers!

Just like the mature style he showed on the court!
This black-haired young man couldn't help but remind Wenger of the Spaniard who had also become the core of the team and became the team captain at the age of 21, but in the end chose to defect at his own expense.

However, when the two faced invitations from other teams, they took completely different approaches.
While Ling Feng and Wenger were chatting, Pearson, who had just arrived in the players' tunnel, saw this scene and suddenly became wary in his heart.

Made!

Wenger, this old boy, still doesn’t give up?

Are you actually planning to poach my team's treasure in front of me this time? !

Thinking of this, Pearson immediately stepped forward and interrupted the two of them:
"Mr Wenger!"

"Hey Mr. Pearson, hello."

"I'm not very good. Are you poaching my players in public?"

Although there was a smile on his face, Pearson's tone was somewhat aggressive.

Faced with the half-truth and half-false "accusations", Wenger just smiled very elegantly and waved his hand:

"Oh, of course not!"

"We were just chatting."

As his senior and a big shot in football, even if Wenger really poaches people in person, Pearson can't really fall out with him.

Therefore, he immediately joked along the steps:

"Haha, forgive me for being so nervous. You also know how charming you are."

After saying that, he waved to Ling Feng and reminded:

"Go back to your team and prepare for the game."

"Yes, boss."

Hearing this, Ling Feng quickly returned to the end of Leicester City's queue.

Vardy, who was standing in front of him, suddenly turned around and asked Ling Feng in a low voice:
"Wenger seems to be very optimistic about you. Does he still want to buy you?"

Hearing this, Ling Feng raised his eyebrows and suddenly remembered a transfer news from his previous life.

The two protagonists of the transfer are Arsenal and Vardy.

After the Blue Fox miracle, Wenger also plans to buy Vardy to increase the team's forward impact.

However, in the face of invitations from Arsenal and Wenger, Vardy finally decided to stay in Leicester City, which later became the story of "The Soul of the Blue Fox".

His thoughts passed quickly, Ling Feng just shrugged and pretended:
"I'm so good, every team will want me, right?"

And this confident look only earned Vardy’s scorn:

"cut!"

After the brief interlude in the players' tunnel, the two sides were ready to make their debut.

"Let us welcome both sides to the final"

Amid the introduction by the DJ at the stadium, the head coaches of both teams led the ball boys, followed the referee team, and took the lead into the stadium.

Behind him are the players of the two teams, as well as Prince William and Princess Kate as special guests.

As the oldest cup competition, the FA Cup final is a big one.

Before the game, there was not only a performance team, but also the Royal Guards Band to help play music.

As the two teams lined up and faced the grandstand, Prince William, as the special guest of the final, came forward to shake hands with the coaches and players of the two teams.

When Prince William came to Ling Feng, the latter also smiled politely and reached out to shake his hand.

After completing the pre-match ceremony, players from both sides also shook hands one by one.

Then, both sides came to their respective halves and waited for the game to start.

Looking towards the blue stands, Ling Feng saw a huge blue fox flag.

The giant flag seemed to be swimming on the blue ocean, with waves rising.

On the other side of the bright red area, Arsenal fans were waving red flags in their hands.

Fans from both sides were chanting cheering slogans to cheer for their teams.

"Blue fox, go forward!"

"Gunner, we must win!"

Standing on Wembley Stadium, with the cheers of [-] spectators echoing in his ears, Ling Feng suddenly felt his heart surge.

Is this the atmosphere of an FA Cup final?

Loved it!
