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

Chapter 289 Guided artillery shells thirty-six meters away! Aesthetics of violence!
Before this game, due to the absence of Phil Jones and Rojo who can play center back due to injuries, only Smalling and teenager McNair were left at center back.

Taking into account the impact of Leicester City's frontcourt, Van Gaal chose to change the formation and adopted a 352 formation.

Obviously, Van Gaal intends to use the local numerical advantage in the midfield to strengthen the team's control, thereby suppressing the opponent and not giving Leicester City any chance to counterattack.

In the first half hour of the game, Manchester United did a very good job on the defensive end.

When Leicester City took the initiative to give up, the Manchester United players passed the ball slowly and controlled the entire formation past half-court.

It's a pity that even if they suppressed the Blue Fox in the half court, they didn't create anything.

But most of the passes are cross passes and back passes.

Even if he occasionally made vertical threatening passes, he did not create much of a threat.

Because Manchester United's two forwards, Rooney and Martial, seemed to have just woken up, almost sleepwalking on the court.

Martial, who was moved to the center, lost the advantage of using speed and dribbling to tear apart the defense on the wing. Instead, he fell into a hand-to-hand battle with the Blue Fox defender, unable to use his technical characteristics at all.

And as Manchester United's formation pressed forward, the space behind them also became larger.

Just like that, after only holding on for forty minutes, the defense that conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League was still broken by the Blue Fox!

Ling Feng, who responded in the middle, made a long-range shot, which made Smalling, who was not far in front of him, shift his center of gravity. Then he faked the shot and sent a very secret small diagonal pass to the ribs!
Mahrez, who came in from behind Blind, easily got the opportunity to face De Gea alone.

The Red Devils captain had the lowest number of touches of the ball among all Manchester United players, a measly nine times!

"Drinkwater passes the ball directly!"

The forwards couldn't seize the opportunity, and Manchester United's midfielders could only keep turning back to improve their passing success rate and ball possession rate.

Vardy, whose sprint speed in the Premier League is second only to Ling Feng, took the lead in getting the ball on the left side of the frontcourt after eating Manchester United youngster McNair alive.

The ball came to Ling Feng's feet.

But this time, the nearby "Little Pig" Schweinsteiger did not let Blue Fox No. 7 start speeding up, but directly stretched out his hand and pulled him to the ground.

This strike was Manchester United's best chance in the first half and almost equalized the score for the team.

When the game reached the 40th minute of the first half, the Blue Fox used a pressing group of two and completed a steal in the midfield!
"Rooney takes the ball and passes it back"

But when he saw that the foul spot was about thirty meters away from the goal, he suddenly came to his senses.

In the stoppage time of the first half, Schmeichel's long pass from the backcourt directly ran through the entire midfield and flew straight to Manchester United's backcourt.

Over the next five minutes, United were even more attacking and created a great opportunity.

Under the double-teaming of two strong central defenders, Huth and Morgan, they couldn't even hold the ball steadily.

However, considering the shitty state of these two forwards at Manchester United, the benefits definitely outweigh the risks!
Worth a try!
As a result, the Blue Fox, like a wild beast out of its cage, suddenly stepped up its oppression and aggression.

Mata's corner kick, "Little Pig" competed for the header in front of the goal, hit the crossbar of the goal and flew out of the baseline.

Although pressing out to press will create space behind you, the risk of losing the ball will also increase.

"The scorer is No. 26, Riyad Mahrez!"

Faced with the sudden pressing of the Blue Fox, Manchester United's players were obviously a little slow to react.

Coupled with the decline in physical function, he is facing a transition period in his career this season, and his status has been sluggish from the beginning of the season to now.

After a short intermission, Manchester United, who returned to the court again, adopted a more radical attitude and attacked the Blue Fox's formation!
Unfortunately, the 352 formation is originally focused on offense, using the numerical advantage in the midfield and the two wing backs to assist to suppress the opponent.

"The ball went in!!"

Especially when facing a team like Leicester City that focuses on counterattacks, it only takes one long pass to penetrate the entire defense!
When the game time came to the 53rd minute, the Manchester United midfielder made a passing error under the pressure of the Blue Fox.

As soon as Simpson and Kanter, who is assisting in defense, get involved, the ball will be lost!
The Red Devils captain Rooney, who participated in the Champions League midweek and still started this game, showed his fatigue.

Vardy, on the other hand, was like an unstoppable sports car, squeezing past Smalling and getting the ball at the front of the penalty area.

In the past thirty minutes of the first half, the number of opportunities created, the number of crosses, the number of passes, and the number of shots on goal were all zero!
Compared to the Three Lions, there is no teammate like Ling Feng in Manchester United who can put the cake in his mouth.

"This is the blue fox's counterattack!"

For Manchester United fans, a very frightening first half of the game is finally over.
. . .

The Manchester United side should be happy.

As they were the first to concede a goal on the road, Manchester United had to step up their offense.

He didn't hesitate, he shot directly into the far corner with his left foot and sent the ball into the goal!
A fatal blow!
The entire attack is fast, ruthless and accurate!

Fortunately, Atkinson's whistle sounded in time.

"Oh! Kanter! Stop the ball!"

Seeing that Manchester United's offensive was really not a threat, Ranieri was not conservative and directly waved his hand to signal the players to press forward and press high!

Because the shooting angle was too small, he chose to look up immediately and then passed the ball across the center.

However, when the team's offense cannot suppress the opponent or even pose a threat to the opponent's goal, the shortcomings of this formation of three central defenders will be infinitely magnified!

Although he got a yellow card, it still killed the Blue Fox's counterattack in the cradle.

The three Blue Fox Musketeers involved in the attack handled the situation without any sloppiness.

If it weren't for De Gea's superb save at the critical moment, which blocked Vardy's explosive shot, they might have fallen behind by two goals in the first half.

Following a long overhead pass from Drinkwater at the top of the midfield arc, the three Blue Foxes plus Albrighton fired four arrows and rushed towards Manchester United's half!
This scene immediately aroused cheers from the home team fans in the stands.

Oops!

This season, Ling Feng has scored two direct free kicks, both of which were super heavy cannons of more than 30 meters.

Powerful free kicks have become Ling Feng's magic weapon to win this season, and have also become a nuclear weapon that scares other Premier League teams!
Seeing Ling Feng start playing with the ball, the tens of thousands of home team fans in the stands immediately burst into cheers.

The little hearts of the Manchester United fans felt as if they were tightly grasped by a big hand, and they were instantly raised to their throats.

"The show is coming!" "De Gea, who has conceded the fewest goals and has the most clean sheets this season, faces Ling Feng, who has scored the most long-range goals this season, in a head-to-head showdown! Who can win?!"

"let us wait and see"

After placing the ball, Ling Feng took a few steps back. After taking a deep breath, he slowly exhaled.

His eyes became extremely sharp!
Since this time, he has been practicing free kicks.

Although I can't say where to hit it, it's pretty much the same.

At least five shots out of ten can hit the goal.

As for whether you can get in or not, it all depends on luck and character!
He glanced at De Gea's position, then took a run, swung his legs, and volleyed!

There was only a "bang" sound, and the ball shot out with thunderous force, passing over the wall and turning into a black afterimage in the air.

In just one breath, like an unstoppable bolt of lightning, it shot to the right side of the goal!
Even though De Gea guessed correctly that Ling Feng was going to shoot from the right side of the goal, he made a move in advance.

But the ball came too fast and from an extremely tricky angle. It happened to be in the upper right corner of the goal, grazing the crossbar and flying into the goal.

Watching the ball hit the net and flying into the air, De Gea felt a burst of anger in his heart.

How do you attack this horse? !

This guided shell spanning thirty-six meters made both goalkeepers sad and happy.

It also made the home team fans in the stands burst into ecstatic cheers and applause.

Even Ranieri on the sidelines had his head in his hands and looked in disbelief.

Such a powerful free kick is extremely rare in his coaching career.

Perhaps, this powerful free kick can only be shot by Roberto Carlos or Stankovic.
After being stunned for a moment, he finally clapped his hands and smiled broadly.

As for the visiting team fans’ hanging hearts, they have finally died.
“It’s hard to believe!!!”

"Direct free kick to score!"

"A masterclass performance!"

"Ling Feng extended the score to two goals! His state today was simply explosive!"

After scoring the goal, Ling Feng did not do the iconic "Domination of the World" celebration. Instead, he ran to the corner flag area and performed the machine gun shooting celebration of "God of War" Batty.

Da da da.
What a hellish schedule.
What a Premier League giant.
Die to me!

This goal reminded many fans of the shocking elevator goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo during Manchester United's match against Portsmouth.

However, compared to Cristiano Ronaldo, Ling Feng's free kick was farther from the goal and had a more violent aesthetic!
This goal directly stunned the Manchester United soldiers.

The defense we were so proud of was so broken?
As the strongest team in the Premier League that only conceded nine goals in the first thirteen rounds of this season, Manchester United conceded two goals in less than an hour!

What's even more terrible is that when the game reached the 63rd minute, Manchester United suffered another blow due to continuous rain:
Veteran defensive midfielder and team deputy Carrick strained his hamstring while defending Ling Feng and was unable to continue.

In desperation, Van Gaal could only choose to replace Carrick and replace him with Lingard. At the same time, he replaced Rooney, who had been mediocre throughout the game, and replaced him with Depay, who was wearing No. 7.

Then let "Little Pig" Swainsteiger retreat to play as a defensive midfielder, while Lingard and Mata press forward to attack!

Already two goals behind, we have no choice but to fight to the death!
After taking the field, Lingard, wearing jersey No. 35, quickly ran to the midfield position and stood right next to Ling Feng.

These former teammates, who were still playing together last season, looked at each other and said hello.

Looking at Lingard with a mohawk, Ling Feng couldn't help but sigh:
Your Emperor Lin is showing his talents for the first time!
From the moment he joined the Blue Fox on loan, Lin Huang's career development trajectory has quietly changed.

Because of his growth and performance on loan at the Blue Fox last season, Lingard was appreciated and reused by Van Gaal after returning to Manchester United.

After a season of training with the Blue Fox, coupled with the valuable experience of playing beside Ling Feng and others, his confidence has greatly increased, and his goals have increased significantly.
He is much stronger than himself at the same time.

This season, Lingard, as a versatile frontcourt player who can play as a left winger or an attacking midfielder, has played a lot of time and is considered an important rotation for the team.

And he also used his off-the-ball and penetrating abilities in the frontcourt to successfully gain a foothold at Manchester United.

Not only did he score four goals in all competitions, he even gave out four assists in all competitions, becoming the team's assist king!
Including last year's outstanding performance with the Blue Fox and the honor of winning the European Youth Championship, Lingard has become a rising British star.

It is said that the Three Lions coach Hodgson in the stands, in addition to inspecting the status of Ling Feng, Rooney, and other main players of the national team, is also paying close attention to the performance of this new Manchester United star.

He is expected to be included in the squad for the first time during the next international match!

However, four assists can lead to the team's assists, which also reflects from the side how good this Manchester United is in creating opportunities.

After all, in this Manchester United team, the only two people who can cooperate with him in smooth passing and reception in the frontcourt are Mata and Martial.

In fact, when he first returned to Manchester United, Lingard was still a little uneasy.

Although he has certain confidence in his own strength.

However, in his mind, every Manchester United player is the best in the entire Premier League.

Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy, Berbatov, Van Persie, Giggs
Even though Manchester United is currently in a transition period, Lingard still has an inferiority complex that is afraid that he is not worthy of Manchester United.

However, when he participated in the first team training with excitement and anxiety, he was surprised to find that it was not the case at all!

Manchester United's frontcourt stars, including Rooney, Mata, Depay, Martial and others, have a clear gap compared to his Blue Fox teammates Ling Feng, Vardy and Mahrez!
Yes!

Manchester United's lineup strength, at least the level of frontcourt players, is simply not comparable to Leicester City!

Whether training or competing, he is always aware of this cruel fact.

Judging from the league's record and rankings, Leicester City is indeed stronger than Manchester United now!
There is no dispute!

As a child of Carrington and the only one who consecrated Ronaldo, Lingard has a very deep feeling for Manchester United.

Even if Manchester United is in a low period, even if Manchester United's lineup is not strong enough to compete for the championship.

But he also only wants to help the team return to the top through his performance on the court!

However, from time to time, he will miss the time when he wore blue clothes and fought side by side with Ling Feng, Vardy, Mahrez and others.
