Chapter 214 I have never met the -year-old Messi, but I am lucky enough to have met the -year-old Ling Feng

After only one day's rest after the game against Tottenham, Leicester City ushered in the second game of the Christmas Devil schedule.

Facing Hull City away from home!

Hull City currently sit at the bottom of the league.

Due to the grievances in the FA Cup semi-finals last season, coupled with the current severe relegation situation.

Even without Pearson's emphasis, all Leicester City generals know that this is a tough battle!

Considering that the main players played the entire game in the last game, Pearson also chose a wide range of rotations.

Except for Ling Feng, Ulloa and goalkeeper Hamer, the other players have basically been changed!

Anyway, they don't have any pressure to avoid relegation, they only need to consider the physical fitness and competitive status of the players.

Therefore, in this away league game, Pearson's only wish is that the players protect themselves and never get injured!

It was the first time they came to the banks of the River Hull in Yorkshire. Before the team bus drove into the Kingston Communications Stadium, Ling Feng and the Leicester City players felt the "enthusiasm" of the "Tiger" fans.

Even through the car window, Ling Feng in the car could see from the mouths of the Hull City fans wearing yellow and black vertical striped jerseys that they were greeting them, their families, and even eighteen generations of their ancestors.

In response, Ling Feng, who was no longer a rookie in the Premier League, had a calm expression.

What he cares more about is that in today's game, he will meet a friend he hasn't seen for a long time.

"Harry, long time no see!"

Yes.

After meeting the future British Emperor Harry Kane in the last round, he met another "Harry" in this round

That is the "British Aircraft Carrier" Harry Maguire~~~

The last time the two met was in the FA Cup.

Now, both of them have reached a higher stage in the Premier League.

In the summer window, Maguire moved to Hull City from Sheffield United for £2.5 million.

Jumping two levels from English League One to the Premier League, Hull City's invitation was extremely tempting.

For Maguire, this is definitely a big career step!

So, he accepted the opportunity without hesitation.

What's more, Hull City is also in Yorkshire, so he doesn't have to move at all, saving him a lot of trouble in adapting to his new life.

However, when he packed his bags and walked into Hull City's training base with great expectations, planning to start a new chapter in his career, he discovered that the situation was not at all what he had imagined!

With Maguire's current competitive level, he completely fails to meet the head coach's requirements.

Therefore, his position in the Hull City team can only be regarded as a reserve for the future.

This "England League One" who once performed well in the FA Cup did not get much playing time. He could only come on as a substitute at the last moments of cup games and league games to feel the atmosphere of the Premier League.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to Maguire, Hull City also bought young Scottish full-back Andrew Robertson from Dundee United Football Club in the summer window!

It's a pity that Hull City has not only continued its offensive attack this season, but even its originally good defense has disappeared.

Since the beginning of the season, the league ranking has basically been hovering on the edge of the relegation zone.

Precisely because they are facing huge relegation pressure, they simply do not have many opportunities and error tolerance to develop young players in the team.

Even Robertson, the future Scotland captain and Liverpool's world-class wing winger, has not been able to secure his place in the main team and can only play a rotation role.

However, he is much better than Maguire sitting on the bench.

After exchanging pleasantries with Ling Feng in the player tunnel, Maguire went straight to the bench.

As the game began, Leicester City, under the leadership of Ling Feng, quickly turned away from home and took the initiative on the field.

Sitting on the bench and watching Ling Feng galloping on the field, Maguire couldn't help but feel envious.

The Premier League is nearly halfway through this season, but it was not until the last round of the game against Swansea that he made his debut in the Premier League.

However, he was not in a hurry.

Although there is not much playing time for the time being.

However, being able to train with other Premier League players has been a great help to his growth.

He firmly believes that as long as he trains hard and focuses on football, his own opportunity will come sooner or later.

Perhaps it is because both sides have carried out certain rotations, and the players are particularly energetic on the court.

It is worth mentioning that, facing the bitter host Leicester City again, Hull City adopted a very tough pressing strategy from the beginning!

Especially Ling Feng, who is the absolute core of Leicester City, has received special attention from his opponents.

As long as he gets the ball, the nearby Hull City players will rush towards him to increase his intensity.

Anyway, it’s all kinds of sliding shovels and overhand pulls.

Only ten minutes into the game, Ling Feng's white shorts were already dirty and covered with grass clippings.

Leicester City's offense was interrupted by Hull City's rough fouls again and again.

The rhythm of the entire game also became fragmented.

In the first half alone, Hull City committed twelve fouls, seven of which were directed at Ling Feng.

Four players received yellow cards!

As you can imagine, Hull City's tactics are such that if you can't defend them, I will foul!

Until the first half entered stoppage time, with Ling Feng's corner kick, Hull City fell into a melee in the penalty area.

In the end, Albrighton took advantage of the chaos and scored with a shot, taking the lead in the away game!

During the halftime break, Ling Feng, who was asking the team doctor to relax his muscles, felt some discomfort in his calf muscles and casually mentioned it to the team doctor.

After examination, it was just a slight muscle strain.

Even the [Reverse Injury Card] allows Ling Feng to rebound damage to the opponent when he encounters an extremely serious flagrant foul.

However, this does not mean that his muscles will not fatigue, nor does it mean that he will not be injured due to fierce fighting.

But this time, he was violently violated by his opponent in turns, and his muscles were only slightly strained, so he was already able to withstand the exercise.

Although Ling Feng said he could persist.

However, Pearson, who was afraid that his eldest baby would be injured, immediately decided to take Ling Feng off to rest.

It doesn't matter if you lose the game. If you lose the core of the team, it will be worth the loss!

In the second half, after Ling Feng came off the field, the situation on the court instantly reversed.

Hull gradually took over the rhythm of the game.

However, Hull City's offensive ability is really poor.

Even though they laid siege to the entire half, they ultimately failed to break through Leicester City's goal.

And zero to one was also the final result of the game.

After struggling to score three points on the banks of the River Hull, Leicester City has drawn a perfect end to their 2014! In the past year, Leicester City is definitely a year worthy of being remembered by the club and its thousands of fans.

At the beginning of the year, Leicester City’s super youth training genius midfielder Ling Feng was born!

Under the leadership of this 18-year-old young man, the Blue Foxes made rapid progress in the league and cup competitions, winning the British Championship and the FA Cup in one fell swoop.

In addition to successfully being promoted to the Premier League, they also entered the European competition after many years.

The team's performance after being promoted to the Premier League also exceeded everyone's expectations.

Not only that, in addition to playing shocking offensive football in the Premier League, the Blue Fox also played a triumphant song in the Europa League, qualifying from the group early and reaching the European knockout rounds historically!

It can be said that this year is the year when Leicester City truly introduced itself to British football and even world football.

Football experts, commentators, media, fans.

Through various channels, they all know that there is such an ambitious and dynamic team in the small city of Leicester in the middle of England!

. . .

As the last league game of 2014 comes to an end, this season's Premier League has passed its halfway mark.

The major media also conducted half-way reviews of the Premier League on the last day!

Although they were tied with Southampton away from home.

However, "Madman" Mourinho's Chelsea still won the Christmas Premier League championship with 46 points without any suspense!

This season, with Costa, Cesc Fabregas and other strong players joining Chelsea, coupled with Mourinho's second-year rule, the Blues have been firmly at the top of the league since the start of the season.

It is worth mentioning that in the 92 seasons since the first Premier League season from 93 to 22, ten Christmas champions have finally succeeded in winning the championship!

Chelsea has won the Premier League Christmas title three times.

Two of them were the two consecutive championships in the 04-05 and 05-06 seasons.

The Chelsea coach at that time was now Mourinho!

In other words, Chelsea, led by Mourinho, will win the Christmas championship.

Then, the probability of finally winning the Premier League championship will be a terrifying 100%!

Of course, the Christmas champion is not the real champion.

The example of Liverpool losing the title last season is still vivid in my mind. The one who laughs at the end is the real winner.

Chelsea is already 12 points ahead of third-placed Manchester United.

Therefore, in the eyes of many media, the only one with a chance to stop Mourinho and the Blues is the defending champion "Blue Moon" Manchester City!

Even though the forwards have encountered a wave of injuries and have resorted to a strikeless formation in recent rounds, Blue Moon still has strong players such as Silva, Yaya Toure, and Nasri to attack the city.

In the seven league games before the 19th round, except for being tied by Leicester City, Manchester City won the remaining six games!

A sprint left them only five points away from Chelsea, who were firmly at the top of the Premier League.

Five points, nineteen games!

Nothing is final yet! ! !

In addition to the Premier League title becoming a two-man battle, the competition for European qualification this season has also become extremely fierce with the sudden emergence of Leicester City, Swansea, Southampton and other teams.

The newly promoted Leicester City, which is still ranked third after sixteen rounds, has only won one win, one draw and one loss in the last three league games.

The ups and downs allowed Manchester United behind them to seize the opportunity and overtake Leicester City by one point to reach third place.

However, facing Arsenal, who are only fifth on goal difference with the same points, Leicester City, who is ranked fourth, is obviously trembling.

You know, fourth place in the Premier League is Nana’s exclusive seat.

Among the many year-end reviews, "The Times" focused on introducing the newly promoted team that returned to the Premier League after ten years, Leicester City!

And used a very eye-catching title:

"Blue Fox Magic!"

If you were to vote for the most surprising team in the Premier League this season, Leicester City would definitely be voted unanimously.

As last season's English Championship and FA Cup champions, this season's newly promoted team was considered by most media and fans to have no worries about relegation before the start of the game.

However, after nineteen league rounds, they were shockingly ranked fourth in the league!

Behind them are a group of Premier League giants.

What is the magic of this team, which ranks 17th in the league in terms of value?

This is a question that many people are confused about.

Many football experts and special commentators from The Times gave their own answers.

Among many factors, it all depends on the performance of a player.

That is the absolute core of this Blue Fox, the 19-year-old British star and European golden boy - Ling Feng!

This season, Ling Feng started 17 games in the league, contributing eight goals and 17 assists.

Seventeen assists put him firmly at the top of the league's assists list, and he also became the player with the most assists in the first half of the Premier League's history!

In second place is Cesc Fabregas, who has sent 13 assists and has many years of experience in the Premier League.

Michael, the sports editor of "The Times" even directly asserted that the topic of whether Ling Feng can break Henry's single-season record of twenty assists in the 02-03 season is over!

Because there is no doubt about it!

With eight league goals, he is tied for seventh place on the scorer list with Rooney, Robin van Persie, Bony, Pelle and others!

And Ling Feng is also the midfielder with the most goals in the Premier League this season!

He scored 25 goals in 17 games, ranked first in the league in chances created, was the best of the match ten times in the league, and was the best of the month once.

Such horrific data made the media exclaim, what kind of monster is this? !

They have never seen such a ferocious Premier League rookie just after his debut!

What is worth mentioning is that a huge fan of Ling Feng posted this on his Twitter:

Although I have never met the nineteen-year-old Maradona.

However, I was lucky enough to meet 19-year-old Ling Feng!

As this sentence became popular and hit the hot search list, many fans started making memes based on this sentence structure.

For example, "Although I have never met the 19-year-old Messi. But I am lucky enough to have met the 19-year-old Ling Feng."

"Although I have never met the 19-year-old Ronaldo. But I am lucky enough to have met the 19-year-old Ling Feng."

The team's outstanding performance, as well as his outstanding personal data, made Ling Feng selected into the Premier League's best half-time team selected by Sky Sports.

And he defeated famous stars such as Aguero, Yaya Toure, Costa, Hazard, etc., and was elected as the best player in the Premier League half-time!

The voting mechanism for this selection is 50% from player votes and 50% from fan votes.

It is conceivable that in the eyes of other Premier League players and fans, Ling Feng's performance in the past half season is worthy of recognition.

In addition to Ling Feng, team coach Pearson also defeated Mourinho, Pellegrini, Koeman and other famous coaches, and was named the best coach of the season.

In the eyes of many people, without making any big signings in the summer window, it is definitely a great achievement for Pearson to lead this newly promoted team to the top four in the league!
