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

Chapter 270: Relegation? I believe you!

"The game is over!"

"Leicester City defeated the visiting Tottenham Hotspur at home and achieved their third consecutive victory at the start of the season!"

"In this game, Ling Feng contributed two passes and one shot, continuing his huge influence in the game..."

"In his second Premier League season, this British hopeful who had high hopes once again put in an amazing performance."

"He has already given out six assists in three games, and God knows what his number of assists will be this season."

After celebrating with his teammates, Ling Feng took the initiative to find Kane, a frustrated national teammate, and deliberately joked with him:

"Hey, Harry, the transfer window isn't over yet, it's not too late for you to join us!"

Hearing this, Kane couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, and could only retort weakly:

"Don't be too proud. When you get to White Hart Lane, you will know how powerful we are!"

After a few polite words, Ling Feng turned and left, leaving only Ali standing there, staring closely at his back.
The next day, many media reported on the game.

"Thank you."

In football, the strong certainly deserve respect.

However, at the post-match press conference, when faced with reporters’ questions about his goals for this season, Ranieri just pushed up his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and showed a kind smile:
"I answered this question before the league started. Our goal is to avoid relegation and get 40 points."

"I loved what you did after the goal. You could tell you wanted to win and I respect that."

"But, you have now scored nine points! And, it only took three games!"

When faced with questions about Ling Feng's hot state, Ranieri also expressed his praise:
"Every day I see him, I am grateful to God for giving me this opportunity. I am lucky to be able to coach a talented player like Ling Feng."

I believe you!

Having said that, Ling Feng also came to Ali, who made his Premier League debut and scored his first goal, and stretched out his hand:
"Hey man, congratulations on your Premier League debut!"

"Haha, let's see then."

"In my opinion, he is definitely the best young player in the entire Premier League and the club's most valuable asset!"

And the three consecutive wins at the beginning are definitely the best start to the Premier League in the history of Leicester City!

What a bad old man you are!

After all, the black-haired young man standing in front of him is the absolute core of the Three Lions and the historical assist leader in the Premier League in a single season!
Whether it is his status in football or his national team qualifications, he is his senior.

Faced with Ling Feng's active kindness, Ali was unwilling to accept it, but he was not a fool without some skills.

They didn't expect that Leicester City actually defeated Tottenham, and it didn't seem like it took much effort.

Relegation?

"I am very satisfied with the team's performance, which means that we have taken a very solid step away from relegation!"

While his thoughts were spinning, he also reached out his hand and shook Ling Feng's hand.

And these remarks made everyone present once again curl their lips inwardly.

Moreover, he had to admit that Ling Feng was indeed much stronger than him!

"However, every victory in a game is a victory for the team. Whether it is Ling Feng, Vardy, Morgan, or Simpson, all players put in 100% effort on the court. They all deserve praise and applause. "

"And this game, especially N'Golo's performance, impressed me very much. I think he is a very good player!"

"I'm very grateful to Mr. Walsh for bringing him to the team and for whispering his name in my ears every day."

These words also caused a burst of laughter from the reporters at the scene.

In this game, Kanter's performance in the midfield was absolutely dominant.

Whether it is the Danish genius commander Eriksen, the Belgian metronome Dembélé, or the dribbling madman Lamela, or the Belgian winger Chadli, once they enter Kanter's defense zone, they are unable to perform to their original potential. strength.

In this game, if Ling Feng is the key to the Blue Fox opening the door to victory, then Kante is the lock that blocks Tottenham from the door to victory!

The outstanding performance against Tottenham allowed the head coach and teammates to see the huge energy contained in Kante's body.

The coaching staff headed by Ranieri also realized that Kanter was more suitable for the team's tactical system than Inler.

Therefore, during the training after returning from vacation, Kanter replaced Inler, put on the orange vest representing the main force, and formed the starting midfielder partner with Brother Drinking Water.

Looking at the combination of Kanter and Brother Drinker, Ranieri, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but turn his head and said to the assistant coach and scout director Walsh next to him:

"You're right, N'Golo may be our answer!"

And Walsh, who personally brought Kanter to England, showed a proud smile.

Looking at Kanter's eyes is like looking at a peerless gem that has not yet been polished and carved, with both joy and appreciation.

For a scout, the most exciting thing is to discover potential little monsters and then let them show their dazzling light on the field!
In his opinion, Kante will become the Blue Fox's strongest shield in the midfield just like Essien of the Blues!

. . .

A few days later, this season's Europa League draw ceremony was held at the FIFA headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland.

According to the European War points in the past five years, Leicester City, the Blue Fox, which only returned to the European War last year, is classified as a third-tier team.

Champions League regulars and Bundesliga Ruhr duo Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund are currently the two teams with the highest points among the top 48 of the Europa League. Basel, Naples, Tottenham, Ajax, Marseille, etc. are all in the first tier. Become the seed team of each group.

In the second tier of teams, there are also two Serie A giants, Fiorentina and Lazio, who reached the quarterfinals last season.

However, compared with last year, there are fewer strong teams in the Europa League this year.

In the end, Leicester City was drawn into Group B with Russian Super League team Rubin Kazan, Czech giant Plzeň Victory, and Swiss Cup champion Sion.

For Leicester City, this is definitely a top pick! These three opponents are all relatively average in strength. Qualifying from the group is just a matter of hands!
This season, Ling Feng's goal is not only the Premier League championship, but also the Europa League championship.

If he can help the Blue Fox win the first European championship in team history, then he can contentedly leave this old club that has nurtured him and move towards a bigger stage!
The opponents in the group stage are relatively weak, so the team can rotate more calmly to cope with the relatively tight schedule.

This is also good news for whether the team can go further in the Europa League.

Among these teams, except for Napoli, who defeated them last season, perhaps only two or three teams such as Dortmund and Villarreal can stop him and Leicester City from winning the championship.

Of course, if Sevilla still fails to qualify from the Champions League group this season and then falls to the Europa League, Leicester City's biggest opponent for the championship will still be Sevilla led by the "King of the Europa League" Emery. !
For this reason, Ling Feng also made a special trip to see Sevilla's Champions League grouping.

When he saw that Sevilla was placed in the "Group of Death" with Manchester City, Juventus, and Borussia Monchengladbach, he just silently added Sevilla's name to the list of opponents for the Europa League title. .

The reason is very simple. Juventus and Manchester City will definitely be able to qualify from the group. Sevilla is a bit stronger than Borussia Monchengladbach, basically locking in the third place in the group in advance.

This has also been Sevilla's strategic approach in competing for Champions League places in the past two years.

Go to the Champions League first, and then come to the Europa League to compete and win the championship. Make sure you can go to the Champions League next year to make money!
When Sevilla can qualify from the Champions League group, that will be news
After the Europa League draw results were released, the winning odds of major betting agencies were also announced:

Bundesliga giants Dortmund and Napoli, who reached the semi-finals last season, have the highest odds of winning.

Followed by the two Premier League teams Tottenham and Leicester City.

Leicester City, which competed in the Europa League for the first time last season, historically reached the quarterfinals of the Europa League and showed impressive offensive firepower.

This season, Leicester City and the giant Manchester City have become the only two teams to win three consecutive games in the Premier League. Leicester City's hot state cannot be ignored.

Coupled with the more mature and tacit understanding of the Blue Fox Three Musketeers and Xia Chuang's targeted reinforcements, no one will think that the Blue Fox is a team that can be easily defeated!

The fourth round of the league.

Leicester City came to Bournemouth, a famous seaside city in southwest England, to face this season's newly promoted "Cherry Legion" Bournemouth on a sunny afternoon.

Last season, they won the English Championship and were promoted to the Premier League.

This is also the first time Bournemouth has played in the Premier League since its establishment 116 years ago!

Leading this team is the youngest head coach in the English Professional League, the talented young coach Eddie Howe.

They lost their first two games in the Premier League by one goal.

Although they lost the game, the media and fans were still very satisfied with the team's defense.

After all, this is not the Championship, but the Premier League.

In the last round of away game against West Ham United, Bournemouth finally achieved its first Premier League victory in team history!
It's a pity that they faced the Blue Fox who were in full form in this game.
Due to the victory over English League Two team Bury a few days ago in the League Cup, the entire substitute lineup has been rotated.

In addition to this league game, there will be more than ten days of international matches.

Therefore, Leicester City played away from home. In addition to Huth taking a rest and Maguire starting, they still put on their strongest lineup.

In this game, perhaps at home, Bournemouth did not focus on defensive counterattacks like the previous two games, but took the initiative to attack.

And such a decision allowed Bournemouth to see what the intensity of the Premier League is!

As Bournemouth pressed forward, Leicester City got more chances to counterattack.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Ling Feng sent a through ball from the top of the center circle. Vardy, who started quickly, broke into the penalty area and was tripped by the defender, resulting in a penalty kick.

Vardy made an immediate impact and took the lead to help the team take the lead.

And ten minutes later, Mahrez played against the wall with Ling Feng on the right, dribbling the ball horizontally in the penalty area, passing the two of them, and then made a beautiful arc and went straight to the far corner of the goal.

Two to zero!
Losing two goals in the first half did not make the home team fans feel uncomfortable, but they still sang the team song in the stands to cheer for the players.

In the second half, Bournemouth changed sides and fought again. Bournemouth did not retreat, but attacked even more fiercely!

For them, losing two or losing three is a loss.

It doesn't matter if you lose, the main thing is to show momentum at home and let other Premier League teams and fans see their determination to stay in the Premier League!

And this
In the 56th minute, Ling Feng's corner kick caused Bournemouth to be in chaos. Ling Feng's shot caused an own goal by the opponent player.

The score then came to zero to three!

Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Ranieri also made a substitution at the 65th minute.

However, just as Ranieri replaced Ling Feng and Vardy, Bournemouth forward Callum Wilson scored a beautiful long-range shot from outside the penalty area.

The Cherries, who had pulled back a goal, attacked with all their strength under the command of young coach Eddie Howe!

However, this season, the Blue Fox's defense suddenly improved a lot after new coach Ranieri introduced the Italian defensive concept and strengthened the defensive hardness of the midfielder.

In the end, thanks to the unity of everyone, Bournemouth did not allow any more goals and successfully escaped from the Dean Court Stadium.
After winning the newly promoted Bournemouth, Leicester City defeated Manchester City, who also won four consecutive games, with a goal difference advantage and continued to top the league standings!

Just as everyone was surprised by the Blue Fox's explosive start to the season, the busy summer transfer window has unknowingly entered its final stage.

It is often at the last moment of the transfer window that some big deals that shock the football world happen:
For example, after long negotiations and wrangling, Manchester City finally officially announced the signing of Kevin De Bruyne, Europe's most popular midfielder and German Footballer of the Year, from Wolfsburg!

The transfer fee is 55 million pounds!
Such a price makes De Bruyne and Di Maria, who joined Manchester United last year, become the record holders in transfer fees for Premier League signings!
Some people are optimistic about this deal, and some are not.

However, only Manchester City Club and Ling Feng know that this deal is absolutely worth the money!
With the arrival of De Bruyne, Manchester City's transfer expenditure in this summer window has reached a staggering 1.5 million pounds!
Seeing Manchester City sign De Bruyne, rivals Manchester United finally couldn't hold it any longer and confirmed in advance that Monaco's talented teenager Anthony Martial has confirmed to join and will soon complete the medical examination and signing.

It is said that Martial's transfer fee will be 20 million pounds, which will definitely break the world transfer fee record for players under U held by Luke Shaw.

In addition to the Manchester United duo holding back a big deal at the end of the transfer window, Tottenham also acquired Sun Heung-min, the current Asian brother, from Bayer Leverkusen in the last few days.

At this point, Tottenham's "Fantastic Four" that Ling Feng is familiar with has officially taken shape!
For Leicester City, after observing five games, Ranieri feels that the team still lacks depth in wingers.

As a result, the team once again resorted to the loan method, renting out the abandoned winger Nathan Dyer from Swansea, allowing him to serve as the team's substitute left winger, adding a frontcourt rotation staff.

And this is also the last transaction of the Blue Fox in the summer transfer window.
