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

Chapter 259: Complete victory and championship! New coach candidate!
Time: January 2015, 7

Location: Eden Stadium, Prague.

The stadium was packed with seats.

The fans in the stands welcomed the upcoming European Youth Championship finals with the warmest cheers and applause.

The two teams that reached the final are England U21 and Portugal U21!

In the semi-finals, England beat Denmark 3-0, while Portugal beat Germany 4-0.

Just like this, two teams in the same group met again in the finals after the first round of the group stage!
This is the first time England U21 have reached the European Youth finals after six years since 2009.

Before the game, the support ratings of the two teams were almost one-sided.

Almost everyone believes that England will defeat Portugal and win the European Youth Championship.

Because, half a month ago, in the first contest between the two sides, England led by Ling Feng easily defeated Portugal.

This also made him the third English player in history to win the European Youth Championship MVP, after Mark Hartley in 1984.

In the end, with Ling Feng's pass and shot, and Kane's icing on the cake, England used its absolute strength to crush Portugal, which has B seat, Guerrero and other monsters in the final.

When he came to Ling Feng, the smile on his face suddenly became as bright as a blooming daisy.

"Let's welcome players from both sides!"

"Ling, we won the championship!"

Even though the gold content is not too high, it still represents the top of the European U21 national team and is also a heavy championship!
The whole process of winning the championship was a bit too easy. However, this is also the perfect result of their relentless running on the court.

"we are the champion!!!"

After thirty-one years, England once again won the European Youth Championship!

However, other teammates didn't think so.

You know, many football superstars have performed well in the European Youth Championship and won MVP awards, such as Davor Suker, Figo, Cannavaro, Pirlo and so on.

As for whether he is the last one, it can only depend on his luck.

At the same time, the coaching staff and substitute players on the bench rushed into the court together, forming a circle and jumping around.

If it weren't for Ling Feng, they would never have been able to sweep all their opponents with such a strong attitude and achieve the final championship!

"we are the champion!!!"

It's refreshing, but it doesn't feel exciting or exciting at all.

However, after the Three Lions in this world have themselves, the probability of winning the championship will definitely be much greater!

And the direction of the game is just as predicted by the media and football experts before the game, there is no suspense!

After the awards were over, back in the locker room, the Young Lions were still in high spirits.

"Yes!"

The leader at the front of England's queue is naturally the most valuable and famous player in this European Youth Championship, England's No. 7 and team captain - Ling Feng!
According to the updated net worth in the German transfer market, Ling Feng's net worth has skyrocketed again.

With Ling Feng, the only player in the team, commanding the game firmly, England firmly controlled the situation on the field, holding Portugal in a frenzied frenzy at halftime until the last second of the game.

The next second the game whistle sounded, Ling Feng didn't feel too excited or excited. He just raised his arms and showed the calm smile of a winner.

"Yeah! We did it!"

There was a sharp contrast between the English people celebrating wildly in the stadium and the Portuguese people slumped on the ground with a dejected look on their faces.

After the MVP awards were presented, Ling Feng, the team captain, took the championship trophy from the match officials. Then, amid the cheers of his teammates, he came to the center of the queue and suddenly raised the championship trophy in his hand:

"Ling, great job!"

Ling Feng, who scored three goals and provided six assists in five games, was undoubtedly elected as the MVP of the European Youth Championship!

Therefore, both Kane, who has always been introverted and shy, and Lingard, who has always been cheerful and humorous, hugged each other immediately, and then swarmed up to surround Ling Feng who was standing there.

Now, Ling Feng's name is also compared with these football superstars!

Thinking of this, he felt very lucky for his decision to invite Ling Feng to join the team.
After the celebration, the award ceremony came.

From 50 million pounds to 65 million pounds!
Such a high value allows him to continue to rank first in the list of most valuable players in England and become the most expensive player under U21 in the world!

In his opinion, the disparity in strength between the two sides was a crushing match.

Sports competition, that’s it!
Head coach Southgate entered the stadium and hugged his disciples one by one.

This is Kane's first real championship.

Seeing the red-faced Kane, who was holding a bottle of champagne and sparring with Lingard and others, Ling Feng suddenly thought of the bad attributes of this "uncrowned king" and couldn't help but feel scared:
"It's okay, okay, not having a championship in his career shouldn't be his problem."

Kane, Lingard, Maguire and others behind him also burst out with the loudest cheers:

"Yes!"

"Oh~~~oh!"

Under the passionate introduction of the stadium DJ, England, dressed in white, and Portugal, dressed in red, led the caddy into the stadium.

The next second, the salute ribbons on both sides sprayed out, and the melodious song "We Are the Champions" was played on the stadium.
. . .

Southgate knew very well that the black-haired young man in front of him was definitely his great benefactor.

While the England Young Lions were celebrating in the locker room, at the same time, the country of England was already in a state of jubilation.

You know, this European Youth Championship champion is the first champion for England's national team in many years since 1984!
For England, which has not touched the championship trophy for many years and has been calling "football home" for decades, this is definitely a happy event worthy of celebration.

Therefore, keywords such as "European Youth Championship", "Win the Championship" and "England Championship" quickly appeared on the hot search rankings of major search engines.

For a time, the entire Daiying was talking about this champion.
Many people believe that although this England lineup cannot be called luxurious.

However, because of Ling Feng's presence, the team won all five games, scoring 15 goals and conceding only three!

Ling Feng won the tournament MVP and assists title, Kane won the Golden Boot, and as many as six people were selected to the best team of the tournament.
Judging from the record and scenes alone, this England team is definitely the most dominant team in the history of the European Youth Championship!
none of them!

The performance of the Young Lions on the team was eye-catching.

For example, Kane has six goals in five games, Lingard has two goals and one assist in five games, and Maguire has firmly established himself as the starting central defender.
In the eyes of the media and fans, these young lions are the future of the Three Lions!

As long as these young lions grow up, the Three Lions Army will only become more powerful.
In the eyes of all media and football experts, the biggest contributor to winning this European Youth Championship is naturally Ling Feng, who carried from beginning to end!
Football is a team sport, everyone agrees.

However, in this European Youth Championship, Ling Feng showed his personal ability to the fullest.

He single-handedly brought England, which was originally not optimistic, to another level, defeated all opponents, and finally won the championship.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that "the Czech European Youth Championship is a European Youth Championship that belongs to Ling Feng alone"! For Ling Feng, his mission with the England U21 team has come to a short and successful end.

Leading Kane to the championship? Finish!
To gain some favorability in front of Southgate? Finish!
Brush attribute points? Finish!
In this European Youth Championship, he achieved four achievements in one fell swoop: [European Youth Championship Champion] [European Youth Championship MVP] [European Youth Championship Assists King] [European Youth Championship Best Team].

Except for the champion's achievement reward, which is two free attribute points, the other three only reward one free attribute point.

However, as the saying goes, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat!
. . .

After the celebration, everyone took out their mobile phones one after another and began taking turns holding the trophy to take selfies and tweet.

As the captain of the team and a major contributor to the championship, Ling Feng became the "mascot" for his teammates to take photos with.

As soon as they finished shooting a short video with Lingard, Kane came up to him, put his arm around his shoulders, and then handed the phone to Maguire beside him:
"Ling, let's take a picture! Harry, help take a picture."

"no problem!"

Unknowingly, these young lions who were once unconvinced were all convinced by Ling Feng's performance in this European Youth Championship.

Not only his strength, but also his conduct off the court is impeccable.

Although he is relatively young, he has a very calm personality, without any airs of a football star, and is approachable.

Kane, who put his arm around Ling Feng's shoulders and won the golden boot of this European Youth Championship, secretly made up his mind:

No matter what, he had to hug Ling Feng's thigh tightly.

The cake he fed was so fragrant and comforting!
After finally taking selfies with his teammates one by one, and then taking a group photo with the whole team, Ling Feng had time to check a lot of unread text messages on his phone.

Teammates from the club and colleagues in the industry all sent text messages congratulating him on winning the championship.

Among them, Pearson, the club coach who was just fired!
After thinking for a moment, Ling Feng took his mobile phone and went to a deserted corner of the stadium and dialed Pearson's number:

"Hey?"

"Hey, boss."

"I am no longer your boss, please call me Nigel."

Hearing this, Ling Feng was silent for a moment and then said: "In my heart, you are always my leader!"

"Son, I'm grateful that you can say that."

"Sorry, boss."

"You have nothing to be sorry for. This is not your fault. If you do something wrong, you will have to bear the consequences. This is a matter of course."

"Then what are your plans next?"

"Let's take a rest first. I haven't had a vacation for a long time."

After briefly chatting for a few words and making an appointment to have tea together when they had time, Pearson took the initiative to end the topic and hung up the phone.

In professional football, coaching changes are common.

Although the dismissal of a head coach is often a sad ending.

Especially this head coach, he has a very good relationship with me and is both a teacher and a friend.

However, as a player, Ling Feng can only learn to accept and digest it.

Now, Pearson's time is over.

What he has to think about is who will become the new coach of the Blue Fox?

Will it be Ranieri, or someone else?
And will the new coach's tactical style affect his performance? !

With expectations and a little anxiety about the unknown, Ling Feng followed the team on a special plane and returned home with great honors!

When the Young Lions arrived at London Heathrow Airport, the waiting hall was already packed with England fans and media reporters who came to pick them up.

"Ling! I love you!"

"Jesse!"

"Harry! This way!"

When they heard someone calling their names, Kane and Maguire in the queue looked over at the same time.

When the two noticed each other's gaze, they couldn't help but smile at each other.

Considering the order problem at the airport, the Cubs did not stay at the airport for too long. They just hurriedly left the terminal and took the team bus back to St. George's Park.

Later that day, Ling Feng, as the team captain, attended the press conference with head coach Southgate.

Attending together, of course, there is also the European Youth Championship championship trophy!

The entire press conference was actually a wave of praise and praise from the media, and then asked questions such as what this championship will bring to England, what this championship means, and so on.

Among them, when faced with the question of whether Ling Feng will continue to be selected for the U21, Southgate gave a very clear answer:
"With Ling's strength, the U21 age group competition no longer means much. His future is to lead the adult national team to make progress!"

When facing the media about Ling Feng's performance as team captain for the first time, Southgate gave a very high evaluation:
"In my opinion, he leads by example both on and off the court and is a natural leader!"

. . .

The half-month European Youth Championship journey ended with the championship.

Due to his participation in the European Youth Championship, the club gave Ling Feng a special two-week holiday.

In other words, he can rest until July 7th before returning to the team to report.

However, even if he is resting at home, Leicester City's coaching progress is always affecting his heart.

According to media reports, Neil Lennon, coach of the English Championship team Bolton Wanderers, and Martin O'Neill, coach of the Irish national team, are the popular candidates for the new coach of the Blue Fox.

The former once played for Leicester City during his player days and can be regarded as a star of the Leicester City team.

He once led Scottish Premier League hegemon Celtic to three Scottish Premiership titles and two Scottish Cup titles.

The latter was more famous in his playing days and was one of the main members of Nottingham Forest's Champions League win in the 1980s.

After picking up the coaching staff, he also coached Leicester City and became one of the most prestigious coaches in Leicester City's history.

In addition to these two candidates who have more or less connections with Leicester City, the media has also selected many scandal targets for Leicester City.

As the fifth-placed team in the Premier League last season, and with a British star like Ling Feng in the team, Leicester City's coaching position can be said to be a very challenging and coveted position.

However, perhaps because they were afraid that Ling Feng would not renew his contract with the team, or in order to smoothly carry out the summer transfer and recruitment plan, Leicester City's selection of coaches was unexpectedly fast.

Just a week later, Leicester City officially announced the candidate for their new coach!
And this choice was beyond everyone's expectations.

Not Neil Lennon, not Martin O'Neill, but the Italian Claudio Ranieri nicknamed "Tinker"!
