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

Chapter 370 Red Devils officially announced another Frenchman!

7 month 11 number.

The curtain of the one-month European Cup in France has officially fallen!
Many media outlets have written articles claiming that this European Cup is undoubtedly one of the most exciting European Cup events since the 21st century.

After Spain won the European Cup for two consecutive years in 2008 and 2012, the 2016 Delaunay Cup finally welcomed a new owner - the Portuguese national team!
You know, since the birth of the European Cup, it has been monopolized for a period of time by the "Germanic Chariot" Germany, the "Gallic Rooster" France of Platini and Zidane, the civilian and team-oriented "Blue Army" Italy, and the "Bullfighting Army" Spain.

These four European powerhouses have jointly won 10 of the championship trophies.

However, the European Cup is also the international competition with the most upset wins.

From the earliest Czechoslovakia, to the Dutch national team in the 80s, Denmark in the 90s, the Greek national team in the new century, to the Portugal national team winning the European Cup this year, it can be said to be a continuation of upsets.

After all, on paper, Portugal led by Ronaldo is far inferior to the four major teams of Germany, France, England and Belgium.

The lineup is aging and was not favored before the game.

But in the end they broke the curse and won their first European Cup!
Of course, this is all thanks to the team's pragmatic tactics and Ronaldo's superstar role.

It is worth mentioning that when the media was selecting the biggest dark horse of this cup, it was difficult to choose between Wales led by Bale and the Three Lions!
The "European Red Dragon" made it to the quarterfinals in its first European Cup appearance, only to be defeated by the host country by one goal.

Such an achievement also created team history!

This young but star-studded England team unexpectedly advanced to the semi-finals and even lost to the eventual champion Portugal in a penalty shootout.

Of course, for England, this result is very acceptable.

In the evening of the same day, the Three Lions, who had stayed in Paris for a few more days, finally boarded a special plane and reluctantly left Paris.

As the plane slowly took off, Ling Feng, sitting by the window, looked down at the city and the Eiffel Tower, which were gradually becoming smaller. His thoughts drifted far away:
This summer in France may not be destined to belong to the Three Lions.

However, this new England number seven has left a significant mark in the history of the European Cup in his own way!
Because, after detailed review and evaluation, the UEFA Technical Committee finally announced that England's midfielder Ling Feng, who scored five goals and assisted his teammates seven times in this European Cup, won the two individual awards of the Best Newcomer and the Best Player of the 2016 European Cup!
In addition, he also won the European Cup Golden Boot with his huge advantage in assists, surpassing French striker Griezmann and Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo who also scored five goals!
This is also the first time that a player has won three individual awards including Golden Boot, Best Newcomer and Best Player in a single European Cup!
This is also the first time in the European Cup that a player has won both the Golden Boot and the Assist King title!

In addition, he was also selected into the best team of this European Cup.

It can be said that except for the final championship trophy, he has collected all the personal honors in the European Cup!

However, when the result came out, many French and Portuguese fans were unhappy.

They thought, why is it that the best player award was not given to a player from the champion or runner-up team, but to a player from a top four team? !
This time, the British media, which has always been sneered at by media from other countries, has ushered in the most favorable battle!
They didn't even need to brag or exaggerate. Just listing Ling Feng's statistics in this European Cup was enough to silence all the doubters:

Six appearances, five goals and seven assists!

He ranked first in both the scorer and assists lists, and his goals accounted for 80% of the team's goals!
The average score is 7.8, higher than Griezmann, Bale, Ronaldo, Kroos, Modric and other big-name stars, ranking first;

Especially in the match against Portugal, he contributed an astonishing statistic of 16 dribbles in a single game, 14 of which were successful!
In six games, he made a total of 25 threatening passes, averaging four key passes per game!
It is no exaggeration to say that Ling Feng almost single-handedly carried England into the semi-finals!

With such a stable and terrifying performance, it would be a shame not to be elected as the best player of the tournament? !
Before going home, Ling Feng specially bought a new suitcase in Paris to carry the three European Cup individual awards!

It is worth mentioning that the Three Lions, who did not make it to the final, should have returned home within a day or two after the game.

Precisely because Ling Feng had a great chance of winning the European Cup's best player and golden boot awards, the entire England team stayed in Paris until the day after the final. They waited for Ling Feng to receive the trophy from UEFA officials before taking a special plane home together.

This also highlights the importance that the English Football Association and Hodgson attach to it!

Even if I don't bring the championship trophy home, taking home the best player of this European Cup is still an explanation.
After arriving in London with the team, Ling Feng asked his female assistant to put the luggage back home.

Then he and his girlfriend Barbara took a flight directly to the Italian resort, Sardinia
The next day, the golden couple was photographed kissing each other on a luxury yacht in the Mediterranean by The Sun paparazzi.

This photo appeared on the cover of gossip newspapers such as The Sun.

However, in addition to the two of them, other Three Lions teammates including Vardy, Lingard, Kane, Henderson and others were also on the yacht.

Soon after, The Sun also broke the news that Ling Feng and others had booked a small island in Sardinia and held a large beach party.

Then it was revealed one by one that Ling Feng was the organizer of this group vacation, the list of participating players, and a detailed list of various expenses.

Even the amount of alcohol the Three Lions stars drank and the price of the alcohol were dug out by the omnipresent Sun paparazzi and made public.

However, fans are more tolerant than before about the news that the Three Lions players are going on vacation together.

After all, instead of going to a nightclub and smoking nitrous oxide or hookah together, it is not difficult to accept that the three lion stars get together at the beach to look at bikinis.

Even many of Ling Feng's fans directly called this activity "team building" and "connecting feelings".

Therefore, many media and fans gave their first thumbs up today to Ling Feng for spending money to organize this vacation.

The Sun, with its own outstanding record, once again announced in the British media:
We are professionals in digging out gossip!

. . .

While Ling Feng and his girlfriend were enjoying a rare vacation in Sardinia, two explosive news broke out in the British Isles:

First, the English Football Association announced that it had renewed the contract with the team's head coach, Mr. Roy Hodgson, for two years.

In other words, Hodgson will stay in the coaching position at least until the 2018 World Cup in Russia!

In this European Cup, the Three Lions under Hodgson are focusing on the youth storm.

Although they finally stopped in the semi-finals and lost in the penalty shootout again.

However, Hodgson's coaching achievements are still recognized by the public and the English Football Association.

In particular, the team's fluency and aggressiveness in offense gave the public hope of winning the international championship.

Moreover, the harmonious atmosphere within the team also makes the English FA satisfied.

A united Three Lions team, only God knows how strong it is!

When this good news came out, the whole country rejoiced.

From the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Brazil to the semifinals of the European Cup in France, in an era of transition, Hodgson was able to lead this team without too many big-name stars.
We are in the semi-finals this time, so next time we will be in the finals? !
Therefore, both the media and the fans agree that this experienced coach should be given more time.
This is definitely good news for Ling Feng.

Compared to the "weakest link" Southgate, Ling Feng certainly hopes that Hodgson will continue to lead the Three Lions.

In the first European Under-19 Championship, he saw Southgate's tactical ability. That is, there is no tactics!
It all depends on the personal talents and flashes of inspiration of these geniuses!
Although Hodgson's tactical thinking is equally conservative.

However, he would at least let Ling Feng play to the side and try his best to reduce the number of times Ling Feng returns to defense so that he can play more comfortably.

This is much better than Southgate.
More importantly, Hodgson's tactics are based around him.

Under Hodgson, he had unlimited firing rights and the highest tactical freedom.

Although Rooney is still the team's top player.

However, as Rooney's competitive form declined, it soon became a thing of the past.
Therefore, Ling Feng called Hodgson as soon as possible to congratulate the old coach on his continued tenure.

And Hodgson was also very happy to chat with him.

Finally, the conversation between the master and the apprentice ended with Ling Feng promising to bring Hodgson a bottle of Cagliari's unique Grenache red wine.
On the same day, before the term "Hodgson stays" could dominate the search engines in China, another even more explosive piece of news stole all the attention:
The "Red Devils" Manchester United officially announced that 25-year-old French midfielder N'Golo Kante, who plays for the new Premier League champion Leicester City, has joined the club for million pounds!

This news made everyone drop their jaws!

It’s not Pogba?!

Although Mourinho has been rumored to have affairs with many European stars since taking office.

Among them, the one who has been widely linked with Manchester United in the midfield position is none other than Juventus's core midfielder Paul Pogba.

According to Italian media Italian Football, Pogba is very interested in the proposal to return to Manchester to prove himself.

Even in an interview with fans, when asked whether he would return to Old Trafford, he gave an ambiguous answer:

"I have a contract with Juventus. But who knows what will happen in the future."

Originally, Pogba would return to the Theatre of Dreams with the world's highest fee.

However, with the efforts of Ling Feng, Mendes, Mourinho and others, the person who finally joined the Red Devils was no longer Juventus' golden boy Pogba, but another Frenchman!

The "new Makelele" N'Golo Kante!

However, Manchester United fans' first reaction to this news was confusion.

First, they signed Villarreal's central defender Bailly, then officially signed super striker Ibrahimovic for free, and now they have also signed Kante, the Premier League's steals leader and the European Cup's steals leader.
The club's series of signings has made Manchester United fans excited!

"Fuck! Is this Manchester United's recruitment speed?!"

"My price, why don't you raise the price everywhere?! You have changed!"

"Red Devil, you are so strange to me!"

However, fans don’t know that the price of Kanter’s deal has actually been raised.

Originally, in addition to Manchester United, the wealthy Chelsea also wanted Kante.

Conte believes that Kante is an important piece of the team's championship puzzle and took the lead in submitting the first offer of 30 million pounds to Leicester City.

It’s a pity that Manchester United, which had already contacted Kante a few months in advance, is closer to Kante.

Coupled with Ling Feng's repeated urging, Manchester United was able to speed up the negotiations and signed Kante as soon as possible after the end of the European Cup.

It is worth mentioning that under the intimidation of Mendes' thundering measures, the extremely greedy agent team behind Kante was even more salivating over the generous treatment offered by Chelsea.

But in the end he accepted Manchester United's offer.

In this way, Kante, who was supposed to join Chelsea, was "fooled" by Ling Feng to Manchester United.
. . .

Sardinia, Italy.

On the beautiful beach, Ling Feng, wearing only a pair of blue beach pants, was sitting on a beach chair under a parasol and talking on the phone with someone.

His naked upper body and streamlined strong muscles attracted the attention of the bikini girls passing by on the beach.

Although I have recognized this handsome British star and I am eager to have something romantic happen with him.

However, they did not approach her to chat.

This was because sitting on the beach chair next to him was a super beautiful woman with a hot body and not a trace of fat on her body.

That is naturally Ling Feng’s girlfriend, Victoria’s Secret supermodel Barbara!

"You're welcome, buddy."

“Okay, see you in Manchester!”

Just after hanging up the phone, Ling Feng heard his girlfriend
"If I wasn't here, you would have been kidnapped by those ferocious women and taken to who knows where."

Hearing this, looking at the arrogant Barbara, Ling Feng couldn't help but step forward and kiss her on the cheek: "Then I still have to thank you?"

"You should thank me. Now help me put on the sunscreen."

Facing the sunscreen handed over by his girlfriend, Ling Feng smiled slightly and immediately raised his right hand to salute her:
"As you wish, the most beautiful lady on the whole beach!"

This slightly funny behavior also made Barbara's mouth curl up, revealing an extremely sweet smile.

Just as he poured sunscreen on his hands and was about to put it on his girlfriend's long legs, he saw Vardy, with an angry look on his face, running towards him from not far away.

"Ling!"

"N'Golo has transferred!"

"I know."

Hearing this, Vardy was about to say something, but suddenly thought of Ling Feng and Kante's close relationship, and then frowned:
"You knew about this a long time ago?!"
