Full-level pass, please call me the speaker of the Three Lions

Chapter 240 Going to the European Youth Championship to fry fish? It’s not impossible!

【Ding dong! 】

[The achievement "National Team has four assists in a single game" has been achieved]

[Achievement rating: S]

[Achievement reward: three free attribute points]

After defeating Lithuania, the system's pleasant reminder sounded in Ling Feng's mind.

After returning to the locker room, Ling Feng celebrated the victory with his teammates. At the same time, he did not forget to remind "rookie" Kane, who made his first appearance on behalf of the Three Lions:

"Hey, Harry, this is your big day. Remember to ask the team photographer to take ultra-high-definition photos of your goals and post them on social media!"

Upon hearing Ling Feng's suggestion, Kane was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately:

"Oh, okay!"

Looking at Kane who hurriedly went to get a photo from the team photographer, Ling Feng just turned his head and saw Vardy sitting aside, a little lonely.

Vardy did not appear in this game, but sat on the bench and watched the entire game.

That is Ling Feng!

When Southgate proposed that Ling Feng, who was of suitable age, lead the U21 to participate in the European Youth Championship in the summer, Hodgson just thought about it and agreed.

In this way, in the next few European preliminaries, he can practice hard, inspect new players, and prepare for next year's European Cup.

Otherwise, the Three Lions have basically locked in their qualification to participate in the European Cup in France next year!

However, before that, Southgate found him first.

However, with my current strength, going to play in the European Youth Championship with all U21 kids is like going to fry fish!

This kind of event has little training value for myself who has already started in the Premier League.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng suddenly smiled and sat down next to Vardy. Then he took out his mobile phone and pointed it at himself and the confused Vardy:

If you can win the European Youth Championship, you will definitely be able to complete the corresponding system achievements.

Therefore, Southgate asked Ling Feng to join the team on the eve of the European Youth Championship.

Although my age is in line with the age group for the European Youth Championship.

"Come on, Jamie, let's take a handsome photo! Brother, I want you to gain some fans!"

In this roster, he squeezed out Welbeck, who couldn't score a goal at Arsenal.

If he could still win the assist title and MVP, the system would have to reward at least two or three free attribute points, right?

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat!

Besides, Southgate has invited me personally. If he doesn't give him face, he will definitely turn against the other party.

Therefore, the two called Ling Feng to the office, explained the situation to him, and hoped that he could lead the U21 Cubs to win the European Youth Championship.

With the selection of striker supernova Kane, Vardy's position on the striker has moved slightly further back.

Ling Feng never considered whether he could lead the U21 to win the European Youth Championship.

Before the European Youth Championship, England U21 will first go to France to participate in the Toulon Cup to accumulate experience and run-in.

If he cannot lead the team to win the championship in such an event, then he will be too sorry for his reputation as the best player in the Premier League and the European Golden Boy!

Of course, the European Youth Championship will only be held at the end of June, so it is still too early.

Since October 2009, England has not lost in a major qualifying match!

European Youth Championship, which is the European U21 Football Championship.

However, after thinking about it, Ling Feng felt that it was not impossible to fry fish.

After resting at the St. George Park base for a few days, the Three Lions took a charter flight to Turin, Italy.

At the home court of Juventus Club, they are about to have a friendly match with the "Legis Azzurri" Italy.

However, thanks to the flapping wings of Ling Feng, a little butterfly, Vardy has performed consistently and steadily in Leicester City, and has been recognized by Hodgson.

Of course, compared to the European Youth Championship, the level of the Toulon Cup in the invitational format is even lower.

The purpose of the England U21 coach's visit was to borrow someone from him.

He also said that it was his honor to be able to contribute to the team and other good words.

This is obviously exciting news for Hodgson.

Although with his age and qualifications, he cannot start every game.

This is an event participated by U21 youth teams from various European countries, mainly to train and discover young talents from various countries.

After considering the pros and cons in his mind, Ling Feng agreed to Southgate's invitation without hesitation to participate in the European Youth Championship in the summer!

However, Ling Feng has even participated in the World Cup, which is the dream of all players, and may not necessarily be interested in an event like the European Youth Championship.

It perfectly befits the Three Lions' nickname of "King of Qualifiers".

Unless they lose all the next few European preliminaries.

In his opinion, it would be beneficial for young people to have more game experience.

Hearing this, Vardy raised his middle finger to him without any courtesy!

Amidst the laughter, England achieved a complete victory in the first five rounds of the European preliminaries, ranking first in the group!

In short, it is a stage for the potential demons of various countries to show themselves.

Ling Feng knows very well in his heart that with the attention the Football Association attaches to Southgate, this "South Gate" man will definitely become the helmsman of the Three Lions in the future.

But he is still an important addition to the team's forward line, and a sharp edge that can be unsheathed at any time when the team needs him!

Of course, with Ling Feng's current strength, he is already several positions ahead of his peers.

"European Youth Championship?!"

Selling Southgate to save face now is to give a good impression to the future head coach!

On the plane, Ling Feng, who had no intention of sleeping, summoned the [Character Panel] again after a few months.

[Player name: Ling Feng]

【Age: 19】

【Height: 182】

【Weight: 75】

[Predominant foot: right]

[Club: Leicester City]

[Talent: God’s Vision]

[Skills: Callback, Putting Master, Horse Stepping Star]

[Attributes: Ball Control C, Shooting C, Passing S, Defense D, Physical B, Mental B]

[Overall rating: 85]

[Available attribute points: 3]

With successive goals scored in the Premier League and Europa League, Ling Feng's shooting skills have also improved significantly.

【终结】从65涨到了68，【远射】从67涨到了72，【射门力量】也从65涨到了68！

Thanks to the effect of the S-level skill [Horse Stepping on Meteor] and constant practice, his dribbling skills have also made visible progress:

[Dribbing] increased by five points to 75;

[Ball Protection] increased by four points to 74;

Physically, as his muscle-building plan has come to an end, his

With the accumulation of competition experience and high-intensity training, his [Endurance] attribute has also increased to 88. This kind of value is why he can still complete the basis of making soup on the wing after playing the full minutes!

Among the six major attributes, the one with the most obvious improvement is [Defense].

[Defense] The minor attributes related to the big attribute, [Stealing], [Sliding Tackle], [Marking], [Heading] and [Defensive Position] all increased by five or six points.

Nothing else, just because the initial values ​​of these defensive attributes are the lowest, only 40 or 50, so they can be improved relatively quickly.

It's like his [passing]-related attributes, which have been maxed out, have not improved even a little bit after playing in the Premier League for most of the season.

This means that these attributes that are close to the highest value can no longer increase naturally through training and competition.

Only by cheating by adding points can you continue to improve!

As various attributes improved, Ling Feng's [Overall Rating] also reached 85 unknowingly.

According to the 100-point system, this rating is already at the level of the main players of the five major European leagues!

After adding three attribute points to [Physique] again and raising it to 88, Ling Feng closed the [Character Panel] with satisfaction, put on his headphones, and slowly fell asleep.

In the dream, he seemed to be standing at the splendid awards ceremony, holding up the golden ball.

. . .

On the last day of March, England welcomed its old World Cup rival, Italy, at the Juventus Arena.

After the World Cup, the Azzurri and the Three Lions also ushered in a new generation.

However, compared to England's "end of double virtues", Italy's changes are even greater.

Not only did the head coach change from Prandelli to former Juventus champion coach "Conte" Conte, the core midfielder Pirlo in the lineup retired, and Roma's deputy De Rossi was also abandoned.

Conte's current roster has recruited a large number of newcomers.

It is obviously intended to inspect new players and prepare for next year's European Cup in France.

In this game against England, he also put on the 352 tactical formation that he was most proud of.

The goalkeeper is still the most stable part of the defense, "young general" Buffon.

In the three central defenders, Ranocchia replaced Barzagli, forming an Italian steel defense with Bonucci and Chiellini.

The two wing-backs are Damian and Florenzi.

The three midfielders are three newcomers, Soriano, Valti Fiore and Parolo.

The two forwards are Edel and Pellet, one high and one fast.

Judging from the starting lineup, Conte really regards this friendly match as a testing ground for newcomers.

Except for goalkeepers Buffon, Bonucci and Chiellini, the other eight are all newcomers to the national team!

On the other side, Hodgson also makes extensive rotations.

In this game, because Sterling and Sturridge were both injured, Walcott and Vardy both got the chance to start, separated by left and right.

Kane, who just made his national team debut and scored his first goal in the last game, is making his first start for the national team!

Rooney retreated slightly and was responsible for delivering cannonballs to Kane.

As for Ling Feng, he is on standby.

Before the game, Hodgson was afraid that his precious core would have objections, so he specifically explained to him that young people must know how to rest in order to maintain a long career.

In response, Ling Feng showed no emotion at all and said he would resolutely obey the coach's arrangements.

In his opinion, it was just a friendly match, so why take it so seriously and let others play.

Perhaps they were a little nervous about making their first appearance for the country, or perhaps there was insufficient running-in. Both sides played more cautiously at the beginning.

As the game progressed, Hodgson quickly frowned on the sidelines.

He discovered that the team's offense had no structure at all!

Compared with Ling Feng, Rooney is more than one level behind in terms of vision and timing of passing.

Many times, he can't see his teammates running open.

Even if he saw it, he should have passed the ball with the first kick, but he dragged his feet.

When he tried to pass the ball again, he had already delayed his opportunity and missed the opportunity to penetrate the defense.

Moreover, Rooney's speed dropped so much that he couldn't break through Italy's chain defense.

Once you get the ball in the frontcourt, you can only rely on your relatively strong body to get the ball with your back, then separate your teammates and immediately rush forward to grab the point.

He doesn't play like a frontcourt playmaker at all, but like a shadow forward.

However, before developing the ability to retreat and organize, Kane is also a forward who needs his teammates to play the ball.

Not only is Rooney unable to deliver cannonballs for him, but his subconscious awareness of forward movement will also cause him to play heavy positions with Kane.

After witnessing Rooney stealing Kane's position several times and forcing Kane to feel at a loss, Hodgson could only return to the coaching bench and complain in a low voice to his assistant Livington:

"Wayne is really not suitable for this position."

"really."

How to arrange Rooney's position has become a headache for Hodgson and the coaching staff.

Let him play as an attacking midfielder, as he cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of passing the threatening ball;

Let him play as a winger. He has no speed and no crosses;

Let him play as a single arrow. He cannot adapt to Ling Feng's scalpel-like through balls, and his confrontation has dropped significantly, and he cannot fight with the opponent's central defender.

Very embarrassing!

However, as the new leader and captain of the Three Lions, Rooney has to start.

If Rooney is placed on the bench without his consent, major media, newspapers and magazines will report it the next day, and then try to question his employment as a head coach.

Fortunately, there is no Pirlo or Verratti on the Italian side. The midfielder's control and creativity are greatly reduced, and no good opportunities can be created.

They just rely on the two wing-backs to come up and assist and cause some trouble for England's wing.

Italy can't attack, and England can't attack either. The two sides are playing very "friendly"

In the blink of an eye, with the referee's whistle, the very dull first half ended.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. The two sides continued to kill time in the test, as well as the passion and patience of the fans.

It wasn't until the 65th minute of the second half that the deadlock was broken:

With Damian's pass from the wing, Pellet defeated Smalling in the center with a header and penetrated the gate guarded by No. 2 goalkeeper Foster.

One to zero!

Italy takes the lead!

Tens of thousands of Italian Juventus fans can finally wave the flag and celebrate.

Seeing that the stands had turned into a blue ocean of joy, and the team's offense still showed no improvement, Hodgson finally couldn't help it anymore.

"Ling, go warm up!"

In the 70th minute of the game, Ling Feng replaced Vardy and played as a right winger.

And just after he came on the court, the situation on the court immediately changed.

He took the ball on the right wing, immediately attracted two defenders, then passed the ball to an open teammate before running into the open space to receive the ball.

With Ling Feng's appearance, England's offense suddenly had a backbone and became much smoother.

Until the 78th minute of the game, he exploded from the right and passed Bonucci in one go.

Then without looking up, he directly made a half-high pass in an arc!

The ball drew a wonderful arc in mid-air and flew accurately to the dangerous zone between the back line and the goalkeeper.

Kane, in the middle, suddenly rushed out from behind Ranocchia and kicked the ball towards the goal.

The distance was too close and Buffon couldn't react in time and could only watch the ball fly from his side and into the goal!
