Chapter 218 Ferguson shook his head after reading this [Please subscribe]

"Huha. Huha"

Looking at Maguire, who was sweating profusely, breathing heavily and staring at his feet with still focused eyes, Ling Feng suddenly stepped on the ball and asked:

"Hey Harry, do you need a break?"

Hearing this, Maguire just wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded firmly:

"No, I can still hold on!"

In football one-on-one duels, defense consumes far more energy than offense.

However, so far, Maguire's sparring performance has satisfied Ling Feng.

Although Maguire can't keep up with his speed and burst.

However, his defense and positioning awareness, coupled with his strong body, can still put a certain amount of defensive pressure on Ling Feng.

In order to hone his dribbling skills, Ling Feng did not use his soup-making method, but chose to use rhythm changes to get past Maguire.

At the beginning, Maguire successfully blocked his position and intercepted the ball two or three times out of ten defensive attempts.

However, as he gradually became familiar with Lingfeng's dribbling routine, Ma Datou also noticed that he almost only dribbled with his right foot and rarely used his back foot.

In other words, he only needs to guard Ling Feng's right foot and that's it!

As a result, his defensive success rate has indeed greatly increased.

Ling Feng, who noticed this, had no choice but to increase the frequency of dribbling with his left foot.

However, in confrontation with Maguire, reverse-footed dribbling often makes some mistakes, resulting in conceding the ball.

However, Ling Feng didn't care.

With Maguire as his sparring partner, if he doesn't practice inverse footwork at this time, what are he waiting for? !

In the end, the extra training lasted for an hour and a half, and the two of them were so exhausted that they were sweating profusely before ending the friendly competition.

Picking up the water bottle and pouring a sip of water into his mouth, Maguire suddenly asked: "Ling, you are obviously so fast, why don't you just use your speed to pass me?"

"This is the purpose of my extra training!"

"Your reverse foot is not very good either. You need to practice more."

"Hmm, when you are on defense, try not to stretch your legs. I know you have long legs."

While talking, the two pointed out each other's shortcomings in offense (defense), and then discussed how to improve.

It has to be said that Maguire's game reading ability and football intelligence displayed in one-on-one defense made Ling Feng's eyes shine.

It is worthy of being a British aircraft carrier that can establish itself in the Premier League giants and the Three Lions in the future!

In Ling Feng's view, Maguire's current defensive awareness, concentration and air defense ability are even stronger than those of Moore, Wasilevskiy, Morgan and other central defenders in the Blue Fox formation!

The central defender position requires a lot of games to accumulate experience before you can become comfortable.

Maguire's body and skills are already at a certain level. What he lacks is just some game experience.

If you can get more playing time and gradually become the main force, your strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds!

Of course, Ling Feng has no say in whether he can have more playing time.

Maguire needs to use his attitude and performance in training to convince the head coach to give him playing time.

The Blue Fox currently has sufficient reserves at the central defender position, including Morgan, Huth, Moore, Wasilevskiy, Upson and Maguire!

The central defender partnership of Morgan and Huth performed well in the last game.

Vasilevskiy is injured and will miss four to six weeks.

Former Great Britain player Upson, who returned from the summer window without a visa, performed so poorly that he basically sat on the bench.

In other words, in the next month or so, Moore and Maguire will become the third and fourth central defender options.

Considering the two-front battle between the league and the Europa League, Maguire will definitely be able to get some playing time!

If he can perform well in the game, maybe Maguire will have a chance to stay in Leicester City.

In that case, it will be good news for Maguire and Leicester City!

. . .

【Ding dong! 】

[The achievement "Social media fans exceeded 10 million" has been achieved]

[Achievement rating: A]

[Achievement reward: Injury recovery card! 】

When the two of them finished their extra training and returned to the locker room covered in sweat, Ling Feng heard a warm reminder from the system in his mind!

Ok?

Millions of fans? !

He was not in a hurry to confirm, but took out his mobile phone after taking a comfortable hot bath and changing clothes.

The total number of fans on his three major social platforms, Twitter, Facebook, and INS, finally exceeded 10 million!

Entering the [Character Panel] and opening the [Item Bar], Ling Feng saw another card with a faint white light next to the [Reverse Injury Card]:

[Item name: Injury recovery card]

[Efficacy of props: It can speed up the recovery time of any injury! Eliminate all hidden dangers of old injuries at the same time! 】

Speed ​​up recovery time from any injury?

Eliminate all hidden dangers of old injuries?

After pondering the meaning of these two sentences, Ling Feng realized the role of this card.

In other words, with this card, if he does encounter any injury, he can recover faster!

Of course, he would be reluctant to use this hard-earned [Injury Recovery Card] for minor injuries and illnesses.

Before certain key games, if he suffers a serious injury, he can use this card to make his comeback early!

I just don’t know the effect of this card, how much does it speed it up?

If he had to be injured for three months.

But after using the [Injury Recovery Card], he became injured for two months, which didn’t mean much at all!

Considering that this is an achievement reward that requires [tens of millions of fans], the effect should be more than that.

Ling Feng was not in a hurry.

When he uses this card one day, the answer will naturally be revealed;

In other words, he hopes that he will never need this [Injury Recovery Card].

Maguire's loan signing and his achievement of millions of fans on social media are just small episodes in life.

As January fades away, there is less and less time left for major clubs to make transfer operations.

Some club managers are still studying the transfer market anxiously, looking for suitable signing targets;

Some club managers are already lying comfortably in bed, watching the turmoil in the transfer market with a smile.

Leicester City, which operates on a shoestring, is the latter!

Originally, Pearson also wanted to win the Croatian international Andrey Kramaric, who was playing in Rijeka, to strengthen the striker.

But Rijeka was not willing to lose the team's top scorer in the winter window, so it paid a high price of 10 million pounds for Kramaric.

Considering that the team's offensive system is stable and the firepower is fierce.

Moreover, the three forwards of Vardy, Ulloa and Wood are enough, and Kramaric's price is too expensive.

In the end, after much thought, Pearson gave up on the transfer.

Therefore, after Maguire joined on loan, Leicester City Club also publicly announced that this season's winter window signings have come to an end!

. . .

On the last day of the winter window, the Premier League resumes its war! In the twenty-third round, Leicester City will go to Manchester, to the Dream Theater that carries the glory and glory of the Red Devils, to challenge Manchester United, which is at a trough!

This is also the second contest between the two sides this season.

This league match at Old Trafford has attracted much attention and has been scheduled to be played at local prime time.

For Manchester United players and fans, the 5-3 match at the King Power Stadium in the fifth round of the Premier League last September is still fresh in their memories.

Returning to the home court this time, they are determined to take revenge!

Moreover, Leicester City is also their direct competitor for the fourth place.

Therefore, Van Gaal gave a death order to the Manchester United players. This game must be won!

For Leicester City, the name of Old Trafford is very popular.

Now, they actually have the opportunity to compete on such a great stage. Isn't this a dream fulfilled? !

"Glory, glory, Man United"

Glory, glory belongs to Manchester United.

"Glory, glory, Man United"

Glory, glory belongs to Manchester United.

"Glory, glory, Man United"

Glory, glory belongs to Manchester United.

"And the reds go marching on"

The Red Devils move forward bravely!

When the song "Glory Belongs to Manchester United" echoed throughout the Old Trafford Stadium, Ling Feng, who came to the Dream Theater for the first time, felt extremely shocked.

Looking around, the stands are filled with bright red!

Thousands of Blue Fox fans could only huddle in the visiting team's stands, which could not be called spacious, waving scarves and flags in their hands to cheer for their team.

Once upon a time, as a fan, I imagined many times that I would come to Old Trafford to watch football.

Now, not only has he arrived at Old Trafford, he has also become a performer at this stadium.

This feeling of a dream coming true is simply indescribable.

However, he came here today not just to check in at Dream Theater.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng's eyes suddenly became sharp!

"Okay, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."

With Schmeichel returning from injury, Leicester City has put out its strongest lineup!

Goalkeeper: Schmeichel Jr.

Defence: Schlupp, Huth, Morgan, Simpson

Midfielder partnership: Drinkwater and Cambiasso

Midfielder: Ling Feng

Left and right wingers: Lingard and Mahrez

Single striker: Vardy!

"Center defender Huth, who is on loan from Stoke City, continued to get the chance to start after his outstanding performance in the last game."

"On Manchester United's side, several position adjustments have been made."

In this game, Manchester United's four superstars Rooney, Robin van Persie, Falcao and Di Maria still appeared together.

And the Manchester United prodigy "Jia Baoyu" Januzaj, who emerged last season, got a starting opportunity for the first time in a long time.

It is worth mentioning that in the first round of the contest between the two sides, the young player Blackett was in poor condition and proved that his strength was not up to the Premier League level, so he was abandoned by Van Gaal.

Compared with the defense line in the first round, except for Rojo, three positions have been adjusted.

Luke Shaw, Phil Jones, and Valencia got the starting opportunity.

The goalkeeper is still the most stable part of Manchester United, Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea!

"Today, Sir Alex Ferguson still came to the Dream Theater to watch the game live."

Following the commentator's words, the live camera focused on the smiling red-nosed old man sitting in the stands.

Since retiring, Ferguson has missed almost every Manchester United home game.

In the hearts of all Manchester United fans, this soul of the club will definitely be missed.

Many fans will have this idea from time to time:

How great would it be if the old Scottish man was not sitting in the stands as a special spectator, but sitting on the coaching bench below?

"With the club's legendary coach Sir Alex Ferguson watching the game, the boys of Manchester United will definitely face the game with the most positive attitude."

"The most discussed thing before the game is naturally whether Ling Feng can lead the Blue Fox to defeat the Red Devils again!"

"This golden boy who is under twenty years old contributed an astonishing performance of one goal and two assists when he faced Manchester United last time and dominated the entire game."

"And this time when we come to Dream Theater, will we witness a battle?"

"let us wait and see!"

Beep~~~

With the referee's whistle, the highlight of the 23rd round of the Premier League, Manchester United VS Leicester City, officially started!

Manchester United, which had the home advantage, took the initiative as soon as the ball kicked off.

Facing Leicester City's possession of the ball, several superstars in the frontcourt immediately stepped forward to press.

The Blue Fox players clearly felt that compared to the first round, the enthusiasm of the four frontcourt stars was much better.

Among them, Januzaj, who got the chance to start, is the most inconspicuous one in Manchester United's frontcourt, but he is indeed the most active!

This season, under Van Gaal, although he did not get as many starting opportunities as last season.

However, his energy and skills on the court still make the fans shine.

Perhaps it was his first time to play football at Old Trafford, and he was a little nervous. He was pressed and wanted to send a through pass to Lingard on the left.

However, this pass was not strong enough and was directly intercepted by Valencia who was attacking.

Valencia, one of the four dark kings of Manchester United, dribbled the ball forward directly along the right wing. Then, after observing Januzaj's advance, he immediately sent a through ball from behind!

Januzaj, wearing Giggs' legendary number 11, received the ball from the space between Morgan and Schlupp.

The next second, he ignored Rooney's call in the middle and Falcao's hand raise from far away. He moved his left foot and dribbled the ball down!

This dribbling immediately attracted Morgan to defend.

At the same time, the space in the middle of Leicester City's penalty area became extremely empty!

At this time, as long as Januzaj raises his head, observes and passes the ball to the center, Van Persie or Rooney from behind can complete the goal without interference!

However, he did not raise his head, as if he could only see the ball at his feet and the few meters in front of him.

He buckled his left foot, took two steps toward the goal, and then swung his leg to shoot before being surrounded.

However, Schmeichel had already blocked the near corner of the goal and punched the ball out with both hands, resolving this near-miss attack.

Seeing Januzaj's actions, not only many fans lamented, but even Ferguson, who was watching the game in the stands, shook his head slightly.

After watching so many Manchester United games, Ferguson had already seen that the potential of this Belgian boy was just that.

Compared with Ling Feng, who is also only 19 years old, Januzaj's foot skills may be more delicate.

However, his golf IQ is far behind Ling Feng.
