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

Chapter 309 CA crushes!

"The ball went in again!"

"Leicester City completed an almost perfect teamwork!"

"In the end, their second-leading scorer Ling Feng scored his first goal in the Europa League this season!"

"The game came to the 38th minute, and the score came to zero to two!"

'The home team is in trouble'

Along with the commentator's passionate narration, the Blue Fox fans in front of the TV cheered.

However, there was silence in the Sikri Arena, which can accommodate 30,000 spectators.

Looking at Ling Feng celebrating with his teammates at the corner flag, Augsburg coach Schuster stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed and a serious expression.

During the transitional period between the first and second phases of Real Madrid's Galacticos, Schuster was Real Madrid's coach.

Taking advantage of the opponent's formation to press the space left behind by the attack, Mahrez and Drinkwater each scored a goal, extending the score to zero to four.

He does have this strength!

Before the game, Schuster, the Augsburg players and fans all thought they could give Leicester City a try, at least not letting Leicester City win so easily at home.

However, as one of the greatest clubs in football, there are still many super talents gathered together.

Even though Leicester City is almost killing the gods in the Premier League this season, the Buddhas are killing the Buddhas.

Why they regard him as the future midfield leader of the Three Lions and the future number one midfielder in the world!

In the 07-08 season, he also led the team to defeat Barcelona and win the La Liga championship.

And Ling Feng did show a performance worth 80 million euros.

Apart from being beaten, Augsburg had no power to fight back!
In this situation, if we use FM Football Manager's terminology, it is CA (strength) crushing!

Moreover, he also praised Ling Feng in front of the media for his maturity and composure that is not found in this age group, and his general style, and he will definitely become a great player in the future.
For Leicester City, a four-goal victory in the first round gave them a greater margin of error in the second round next week.

And Ling Feng was finally able to leave the green field temporarily, forget about work, and return to daily life.

The huge gap in strength made Augsburg players feel the pain when facing Bayern Munich.

Of course, this result is not beyond the expectations of the outside world.

No matter who it is, as long as the ball appears in the midfield area, Kanter will forcibly intercept or steal it!
In the Bundesliga, they have never encountered such a candy-like defensive midfielder that they can't get rid of!

It is worth mentioning that at the post-match press conference, Schuster very kindly admitted that Leicester City was stronger.

Although worth does not equal strength, worth can reflect a player's strength to a certain extent!

For example, go for a walk with your girlfriend, and then attend some business events that make your wallet bulging.

After the short intermission, Schuster did not make any personnel changes.

That was the pinnacle of his coaching career.

However, this wish still came to nothing.
In the second half of the game, Leicester City, who were leading the game, played more confidently.

However, the cruel reality tells them that they are no match for Leicester City!
Augsburg had home advantage and fielded their strongest eleven.

There was even a sharp breakthrough from Robben!
It can be said that in this young man who is only 20 years old, he sees all the characteristics needed for a midfield master!
Seeing Ling Feng playing on the field with his own eyes, this last season's Bundesliga Coach of the Year finally understood why the public and the media rated this young Englishman so highly!

We have the right time and place, but what we lack is the harmony.

Considering that the schedule is very intensive and the players have been training and competing, they may be a little too nervous. Ranieri also took this opportunity to give all the players two days off.

Moreover, in terms of net worth, Ling Feng's net worth alone is almost equivalent to that of the entire Augsburg team!

On the bench, there are no stars who can change the situation.

In the end, Leicester City defeated Augsburg away from home!
And the four-goal advantage basically announced that most of Leicester City had entered the Europa League top 16!

It was only at this time that the Augsburg players understood why Leicester City was able to dominate the Premier League this season and remain at the top of the league!
The players in their formation are so strong!
Not only the Blue Fox Three Musketeers headed by Ling Feng, but also the little black midfielder who ruthlessly swept through the midfield made them feel desperate.

In Ling Feng, he saw Guti's chic through ball, Sneijder's long-range shot, and Gago's organization and scheduling.

What's more, the small Bundesliga team Augsburg does not have a famous star in the lineup? !

It is normal for the top team in the Premier League to defeat the mid- and lower-tier teams in the Bundesliga.

Guti, Sneijder, Gago and other players supported the team's midfield.

This game has been firmly controlled by Leicester City from the first minute of the game.

At that time, the stars in Real Madrid's formation were much dimmer compared to the first phase of Galacticos.

But in the final analysis, Leicester City is just a small club that was promoted to the Premier League and entered the European stage for the first time last season.

After all, his team is not a wealthy team.

Seeing that his team was completely suppressed and fell behind by two goals before the end of the first half, Schuster was helpless.

Judging from the lineup strength and competitive status of the two teams, Augsburg is destined to be unable to pose any threat to Leicester City.

The most popular midfielder in Europe completed a pass and a shot in the first half, helping the team lead Augsburg by two goals on the road.

You know, even Manchester City, which is full of stars, was ruthlessly defeated by Leicester City.

He can only hope that the team can hold on to the current score at home, or get a goal back to save a chance for the second round.

However, people are not in football, and everything in football is closely related to it.

While attending a business event for a fashion brand, a reporter also asked Ling Feng an unrelated question:

"Ling, what do you think of Mourinho becoming Manchester United coach next season?"

Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He had already anticipated this problem.

In the past half month, the entire British football world has been attracted by a piece of news.

That is - Mourinho is going to coach Manchester United!
As early as the beginning of the month, after Manchester City officially announced Guardiola, Manchester United fans began to call on the club to sign Mourinho to rebuild Manchester United and lead the Red Devils against the Blue Moon!
At that time, Manchester United's club executives were still hesitating whether to give Van Gaal more time. However, just after Van Gaal led Manchester United to an upset away defeat to deputy squad leader "Black Cat" Sunderland in the league, Manchester United's top brass finally made up their mind!
According to media sources such as the BBC, Manchester United has launched specific negotiations with Mourinho's team and has even reached a written agreement.

A number of media outlets including the "Daily Mail", "Mirror", "Daily Star" and "The Telegraph" followed up the news at the same time, claiming that Mourinho had informed his friends that he would not be playing football next season. The matter of coaching Manchester United is a certainty!
There is even news that Mourinho has begun planning the Red Devils' tactics and specific recruitment targets for next season.

The Sun expressed its opinion that Mourinho is the only coach who knows how to defeat Guardiola and the only coach who can lead Manchester United out of the quagmire!
As the two most trafficked coaches in football, the news value extended by the two news items "Manchester City officially announces Guardiola" and "Madman joins Manchester United" brought huge traffic to the British media in February.

According to various sources, it has become a fact that Mourinho will take over at Old Trafford in the summer.

Some media even began to conduct a "trial" on Manchester United's lineup in advance.

For example, which players will be purged and which positions will be strengthened.

This season, Manchester United under the leadership of Louis van Gaal not only has a poor record, but also has a conservative style and weak offense.

In fact, according to media reports such as "The Sun" and "The Daily Telegraph", as early as the winter window, Van Gaal asked Manchester United to introduce strong reinforcements in the winter window to increase the vitality and firepower of the offense.

But Manchester United's top brass rejected his request.

The reason is very simple, they no longer want to continue spending money on Van Gaal, whose coaching position is unstable!

This is also the message Manchester United sends to the outside world.

This is also one of the reasons why the media firmly believe that Van Gaal will be dismissed and Mourinho will take over Manchester United.

And with the change of coach, the team's tactics and lineup will definitely lead to a wave of reshuffles.

Of course, until there is no official announcement, the media's speculations are based on speculation.

However, one of them attracted a lot of traffic and attention.

According to reports from Mourinho’s friends to the media, Mourinho believes that Manchester United’s midfielder needs to be updated.

Therefore, he hopes to bring a young midfielder who is the cornerstone of the team to Manchester United in the summer, and then build a new tactical system around him.

And this candidate, according to media speculation, will be decided between Leicester City's Great Britain star Ling Feng, Juventus' golden boy Pogba, and Real Madrid's Colombian national treasure James Ronaldo!
Among them, Ling Feng and Ronaldo have higher voices, and Mourinho's agent is Mendes.

As a youth training player of Manchester United, Pogba's return to Old Trafford to prove himself is also fascinating.

However, considering Mourinho's unabashed admiration for Ling Feng, the media believes that Ling Feng is more likely to join forces with Mourinho at Manchester United in the summer.

And this is why reporters asked Ling Feng what he thought of Mourinho's upcoming appointment as Manchester United coach.

Faced with this problem, Ling Feng did not intend to say too much:

"I would wish him all the best."

However, his answer did not satisfy the reporter, but he continued to ask:
"Mourinho has also praised you in front of the media many times. He thinks you are the best player in England of this age group and looks forward to working with you."

"According to media reports, Mourinho has proposed to Manchester United's senior management to introduce you in the summer. What do you think of this?"

"José and I are friends. However, we both have our own lives and we don't talk too much about work in private."

"Also, this is the commercial event site of XX brand. I don't want to talk too much about irrelevant things. Thank you."

After saying these words, Ling Feng also left the interview area.

And this reporter from "The Sun" was also invited out by the brand's staff.

However, this short interview still caused "The Sun" to produce a news article the next day that "Ling Feng and Mourinho may join forces at Manchester United."

Ling Feng said he was used to it.

Playing in the commercial Premier League, every Premier League player is like standing in the spotlight.

Dealing with the media is also a required course for every Premier League star.

As a British star with both good looks and skills, this is not the first day that Ling Feng has dealt with the media.

Catching rumors and making up random things is their specialty.

As long as it doesn't affect his personal image, Ling Feng doesn't care.

After all, these media will help him cheer for him when he competes for the Golden Globe Award in the future.

In his view, both parties are in a mutually beneficial relationship.

The media attracts eyeballs and traffic through his various news;

And he uses the influence of the media to build momentum, thereby expanding his reputation and status in world football.

Just take what you need
. . .

After a short vacation, Ling Feng returned to the team again.

A few days later, Leicester City welcomed Augsburg from afar at the King Power Stadium.

In front of the Blue Fox, which had a comprehensive rotation, Augsburg went all out.

However, thanks to the Italian chain defense system that Ranieri spent most of the season building, and the outstanding performance of Maguire, Amartey and other players, Augsburg was never able to penetrate the Blue Fox's goal.

Maguire even used a corner kick to score a header!
In the end, Leicester City eliminated the Bundesliga team Augsburg in two rounds with a total score of 5-0, and successfully advanced to the Europa League top 16!

All the seats for the top sixteen have also been decided.

La Liga and the Premier League became the biggest winners, with four teams and three teams reaching the top 16 respectively.

There are no seeding teams in this draw, and there are no national restrictions. Teams from the same league may compete against each other.

The teams that have reached the top 16 are Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla, Valencia and Villarreal in La Liga;
Leicester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League;

Bayer Leverkusen and Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Lazio in the Serie A;
Anderlecht in the Belgian Premier League, Basel in the Swiss Premier League, Braga in the Portuguese Premier League, Fenerbahce in the Turkish Premier League, Shakhtar Donetsk in the Ukrainian Premier League, Sparta Prague in the Czech Premier League
It is worth mentioning that after the first round of eliminations, the winning odds of the top four have not changed at all.

From high to low, they are defending champion Sevilla, Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, Premier League top team Leicester City, and former Premier League hegemon Red Devils Manchester United!

That night, UEFA also held a draw.

And the results are also full of highlights:
Athletic Bilbao and Valencia are at war with each other;
Leverkusen vs. Villarreal;

Dortmund v Tottenham Hotspur;
And the "Blue Fox" Leicester City, which is gaining momentum, has drawn the football traffic king "Red Devils" Manchester United, which has been hotly discussed in the media recently!
A civil war between red and blue in the Premier League is about to take place in the Europa League!
