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

Chapter 313: A coach who doesn’t want to win the Triple Crown is not a good coach
The award ceremony of the League Cup is not as grand as the FA Cup.

However, for a small club like Leicester City, it is enough to be remembered by all fans.

After all, they have not reached the League Cup final or even won the championship in more than ten years.
While waiting for the organizers to arrange the award venue, Ling Feng, the best player in the game, also came to the interview area to accept a post-match interview with Sky Sports.

"First of all, congratulations, this is your first League Cup championship. How do you feel?"

"I feel very happy and I feel lucky to be in such a united team,"

"This game was very exciting, especially your counterattack, which was simply pleasing to the eye! However, Liverpool had the advantage on the field and came close to the score twice. Did you have any doubts about whether the team could defeat the opponent? "

"Liverpool is a great team and a very strong opponent. They are very tenacious and caused us a lot of trouble. However, I never thought that the team would lose. We played to win. Ball, until the end of the game, I will think we can win the game!”

"This season, you are still firmly at the top of the league standings and have a huge lead. How close do you think you are to winning the first league championship in team history?"

Faced with this question, Ling Feng also gave a very domineering answer:
"I think as long as we work together off and on the court, no one can stop us from winning the championship!"

"Thank you for accepting the interview"

In the FA Cup final in the 13-14 season, with his assists and two goals, the team finally won the championship;
As for the League Cup champion in the 15-16 season, with his two shots and one pass, the team also won the championship!
Within two years, Ling Feng continued to shine at Wembley Stadium, almost single-handedly helping the team win two domestic cup championships, the FA Cup and the League Cup.

In other words, as long as Liverpool reaches the top seven this season, they will be able to qualify for the Europa League!
Of course, compared to Liverpool, which is pursuing the European theater, Leicester City and Lingfeng have more ambitious goals.

Then he accidentally won the championship!

Some media have also analyzed the possibility of Liverpool entering the European war this season.

We just held a club celebration banquet the next day to celebrate a little.

The next day.

For Leicester City, winning the League Cup is another surprise this season.

In the end, Captain Morgan, who was the last to appear, lifted the championship trophy from the trophy!
Along with the championship trophy raised high, the salutes on both sides sprayed out bright fireworks, adding a bit more to the scene.
After the awards, the Blue Fox players also came to each stand to say goodbye and interacted with the fans to win the championship.

From the club’s perspective, the FA Cup is certainly more valuable and important than the League Cup;

Back in the locker room, everyone drank champagne, took photos with the trophy, and celebrated excitedly.

This means that even if they win the League Cup, they will not qualify for the Europa League through the League Cup champion to play in the first-level Europa League.

Basically, they can lock in a top four ranking and qualify for the Champions League next season.

The Blue Fox first team players came to the podium one after another, and then received the championship medals from the leaders of the Football Association.

As Leicester City is firmly at the top of the league this season, it has even led fourth-placed Arsenal by as many as 23 points.

"Thanks."

This European Cup quota will be deferred to the top-ranked teams in the league that have not qualified for the European Cup.

And behind him were the Red Army generals who were either bowing their heads in frustration or holding their heads helplessly!
In the report, The Sun also praised Ling Feng for his wonderful performance in the League Cup final.

Ling Feng also accepted it happily.

Although it is a bit regretful that we cannot directly win the League Cup and obtain a European spot.

In this photo, Ling Feng stands with his arms high and his head held high, like a king of the court, accepting the fans' homage.

The major media also rushed to report on the ups and downs of the League Cup final.

It is worth mentioning that within two years, this Leicester City team won two major domestic cups in England.

Amid the loud singing of tens of thousands of Blue Fox fans present, the award ceremony also began.

In the end, after a meeting between the senior management and the head coach, they all decided to wait until the team won the league championship before taking matters into their own hands!
With a League Cup championship, bidding farewell to a slightly bleak February, the team once again turned its attention back to the league.

This means that if they can win the Premier League championship this season and then win the Community Shield next season, then a considerable number of their players will have reached the goal of winning the English domestic league plus cup. Grand slam!
. . .

That's the Premier League title!

Secondly, they have won the League Cup several times, and it is not a very important trophy.

Many Red Army fans feel that after Klopp's arrival, the team's desire to win and mental outlook have significantly improved.

Ling Feng also immediately uploaded photos of himself with the head coach, teammates, and trophies to his social media account one by one.

I just didn't expect that I would reach the semi-finals by accident.

Therefore, after winning the League Cup, the club did not celebrate as much as it did when it won the FA Cup last time.

It’s not too much to call him the King of Wembley, right? !

Of course, in addition to congratulations to Leicester City for winning the championship, Liverpool's performance in the game is also admirable and regrettable.

And explains the origin of the title:

After completing the interview, the female host did not forget to take out her mobile phone and asked to take a photo with him.

However, they still have many opportunities to enter the European theater through the league.

"King of Wembley!"

Even a triple crown that could go down in team history!

At this time, the venue layout was completed.

Among them, "The Sun" directly spent a lot of money to buy an impactful and topical photo as the cover, and the title read:

At the beginning, they never thought about investing too much energy in the useless competition of the League Cup.

Leicester City's 27th league match has been postponed until April to make way for the League Cup final.

With one game in hand, Leicester City still leads second-place Tottenham by as many as 12 points.

Twelve points is equivalent to the fault tolerance rate of four games.

Of course, after going through a hellish schedule during Christmas and a devilish schedule in February, Leicester City has basically met all the BIG6 teams in the league.

The league schedule in March is very friendly to the Blue Fox, who still have to compete in the Europa League knockout rounds.

The FA arranged four league games for the Blue Foxes in March, against West Brom, Watford, Newcastle and Crystal Palace.

With the momentum of winning the League Cup, Leicester City defeated West Brom and Watford in a week!
Easily defeated West Brom 3-0 at home and came back to beat Watford 1-2 away.
These two victories against mid-to-lower teams also allowed everyone to see the domineering and dominance displayed by the Leicester City team!
Not only able to defeat powerful teams in strong dialogues, but also able to win the games that should be won when facing weaker opponents, Leicester City this season has completely shown its championship appearance!

And when the time comes to March, two-thirds of the Premier League has passed unknowingly.

After 75 rounds of games, Leicester City continues to top the league standings with points!

With one game in hand, the Blue Foxes are still ahead of Tottenham, which ranks second with 58 points, by as many as 17 points!
With ten rounds left in the game, such a lead made many people sigh:
It seems to be only a matter of time before the Blue Fox wins the championship!
However, many people pointed out the last test the Blue Fox faced before winning the championship. That is a two-front battle between the league and the cup!
As the team reaches the top 16 of the Europa League, in addition to league tasks, the team also has to play against strong opponents in the Europa League.

This will inevitably affect the team's preparation and physical fitness.

In the opinion of some football experts and commentators, compared to the ups and downs of Manchester City, the shaky Arsenal, and the weak offensive Manchester United, Tottenham, which has caused a youth storm this season, may become a spoiler for the Blue Foxes to win the championship.

Regarding this view, Ling Feng could only smile "haha" and not take it seriously.

Tottenham? Spoiler?
Damn it!

This team, from the team chairman and coach to the players, are all petty and petty, so they have no chance of winning the championship!

Even if they lose, can Tottenham guarantee victory in the next nine rounds?
It’s very blue!

Therefore, in Ling Feng's view, this season's Premier League championship is already within their grasp!

The key is the Europa League!
Fortunately, the lead in the league is too big. Even if the energy and attention are briefly focused on the Europa League, it will not affect the team's leading position in the league.

It is also the team's excellent performance in the league that gives Ranieri the confidence to continue to fight for the Europa League championship!

Yes!

After winning the League Cup, the league was far ahead, and the Europa League reached the top 16. The club's senior management and Ranieri suddenly discovered that the team had a precious opportunity to win the season's triple crown!

As the saying goes, a coach who doesn't want to win the Triple Crown is not a good coach!

Faced with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even Ranieri, who has extensive coaching experience, went crazy and was filled with excitement.

You know, when he accepted Leicester City's invitation, he just wanted to lead this dark horse last season to avoid relegation in the Premier League.

But now, Dai Dai Dai actually has a chance to compete for the Triple Crown? !
Even the best screenwriter in Hollywood cannot write such a script!
Ranieri knows that such an opportunity may not be encountered by many head coaches in their lifetime.

Therefore, he has secretly made up his mind that if he doesn't want to regret it before he dies, he must seize this opportunity!

. . .

3 month 11 number.

clear.

The "Theater of Dreams" Old Trafford Stadium ushered in the much-anticipated first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals.

Manchester United sits at home and faces the menacing Leicester City!

This is a Premier League civil war!
Having just won two consecutive league victories, Leicester City's morale is at its peak.

On the contrary, Manchester United is suffering from internal and external troubles.

Since last month, Manchester United, as one of the most well-known and trafficked clubs in England and even the world, has been deeply involved in public opinion about the coaching change.

Although the top management and Van Gaal have denied that the team is contacting Mourinho.

However, according to reports from the media and insiders, Manchester United has reached a private agreement with Mourinho.

The news will be announced as soon as the season is over.

Even though there was no official announcement, Manchester United's players were still affected and their status continued to fluctuate.

They can either defeat Arsenal at home or lose to West Brom, who were just defeated by Leicester City, on the road.

Manchester United's performance in European competitions this season has also been disappointing.

Ranked fourth last season, Manchester United was drawn into Group B, which can be called the "Group of Death".

Opponents in the same group include Russian Super League hegemon CSKA Moscow, Eredivisie giants PSV Eindhoven, and last season's Bundesliga runner-up Wolfsburg.

As a result, Manchester United only scored eight points with two wins, two draws and two losses in the group stage, ranking third in the group.

The group cannot qualify and has no choice but to play in the Europa League.

In the weaker Europa League, Manchester United did not show enough competitiveness.

In front of Danish Super League champion Midtjylland, Manchester United almost overturned if it weren't for the youth academy youngster Rashford who came out of nowhere and scored twice.

After almost two seasons, the team is not on the right track and cannot even qualify for the Champions League group.

Perhaps this is one of the important reasons why Manchester United executives and fans feel that Van Gaal is disappointing and it is time to make changes.
In this game against the hot Leicester City at home, Manchester United certainly does not intend to let the Blue Fox win easily.

You know, this is the great Old Trafford!
Considering that his coaching position is in jeopardy and there is no hope of winning the league title, Van Gaal also decided to put all his weight on the Europa League or the FA Cup!

In his opinion, if these two cups can reach the finals and win a championship, maybe he can stay in Dream Theater in the future.

Ever since, he also deployed the defensive midfielder combination of Fellaini and Snedlin, hoping to first focus on defense, and then slowly penetrate into the opponent's backcourt through the advantage of ball control, and finally use Martial and La The offensive trident composed of Shford and Depay uses outstanding talents to solve problems.

However, this idea is too conservative.

On the contrary, Leicester City, playing away from home, unexpectedly took the initiative.

With a wave of Ranieri's hand, the frontcourt players led by Ling Feng immediately pounced on Manchester United's half.

To deal with Manchester United's ball possession tactics, you should press high!

Such targeted tactical arrangements soon bore fruit.

Just fifteen minutes later, the great Old Trafford Stadium was breached!

And the one who scored the Manchester United goal was still the wealthy killer wearing No. 9!
At the beginning of the game, Leicester City suppressed Manchester United's midfield through aggressive pressing.

Even in terms of ball possession rate, which Manchester United is proud of, it still has an advantage.

Ball possession also means the team has more offensive opportunities.

When the game came to the fifteenth minute, Ling Feng took the ball in the middle to initiate an attack, and Mahrez stepped in to respond.

With just a simple one-two against the wall, the two teamed up to penetrate Manchester United's central defense.

The double defensive midfielder composed of Fellaini and Snedlin is first-rate in terms of frontal interception and air defense capabilities, and even defensive hardness.

But it’s too slow!

In front of Ling Feng, the two of them were no different from two large wooden piles.

The Manchester United center back line composed of Blind and Smalling simply cannot withstand Vardy's impact!
After receiving Ling Feng's scalpel pass, Vardy took advantage of the situation, passed Blinder, entered the penalty area, and completed a merciless blast!

No matter how quick De Gea reacts, he can only watch the ball and sigh.
