Chapter 376 Farewell Battle, King of Wembley!

December 2016, 8.

Four p.m
London, Wembley Stadium!
Wembley, which can accommodate 100,000 people, was already bustling with people.

"Welcome to the 2016 Community Shield, live from Wembley Stadium."

"This is Manchester United's 30th participation in the Community Shield. We have won the title 20 times before and are the absolute champions of this cup competition."

"Leicester City is participating in the Community Shield again after 45 years. This time, they are the new Premier League champions!"

In fact, as early as 1971, Leicester City won the Community Shield.

In other words, after winning the league title last season, Leicester City has completed the Grand Slam of English domestic championships.

Of course, the last Community Shield champion had nothing to do with Ling Feng.
This game is Mourinho's first official game as Manchester United coach.

He certainly hopes to start his career with the Red Devils with a championship.

However, he also knew very well that this game would definitely not be easy to play!

So, he also put out the strongest lineup he had:
goalkeeper David de Gea;
The four defenders are Valencia, Bailly, Blind and Luke Shaw;

The double defensive midfielders are Fellaini and Kante;

Rooney is in the middle, Martial and Lingard are on the left and right;

Ibrahimovic is the lone arrow!
Manchester United's three new signings, Ibrahimovic, Kante and Bailly, all started!

As for Leicester City, there is only one position change compared to last season's starting eleven.

That is, Andy King replaced Kante, who had transferred to the other side, and became the defensive midfielder partner of Drinkwater.

Before the game, many people could understand Mourinho's double defensive midfielder configuration of Kante and Fellaini.

It is better not to use Carrick and Herrera who can organize the ball, reduce the control of the midfield, but also ensure the defensive hardness of the midfield.

There is no other reason, just to target Ling Feng, the most threatening player in Leicester City!

Before the game started, the two teams met in the player tunnel.

When Ranieri saw Kante wearing a Manchester United jersey, his smiling face suddenly stopped.

Faced with Kante's attempt to shake hands with him, Ranieri simply put a "throat lock" on him and then slapped his former disciple on the butt.

"You are such a jerk who leaves without saying hello."

Kante just smiled and surrendered.

After the master and the apprentice joked with each other, Kant showed a row of embarrassed but polite white teeth and hugged and greeted his mentor.

Ling Feng also took the initiative to step forward and greet familiar faces such as Kante, Lingard, and Rooney.

At this time, Lingard deliberately pulled Ling Feng aside and whispered:

"Dude, why don't you transfer earlier? If you were on our side, we would definitely win!"

Hearing this, Ling Feng just smiled slightly and said nothing.

After some greetings, Ling Feng came to the end of Manchester United's team and met that tall figure!

"Zlatan, how are you?!"

This was his first meeting with the famous "God" and "Great Priory" Ibrahimovic.

This is also the first time to compete with them.

Although the 34-year-old Ibrahimovic has entered the twilight of his career, his physical function and footwork frequency are definitely much worse than when he was young.

However, both his competitive state and strength are still maintained very well, and are definitely at the level of top strikers in football.

Last season, he played 31 games in Ligue 38 and scored a record-breaking league goals!
Even though Ligue 1 is known as a farmers' league, the overall level of the league is limited.

Moreover, Paris Saint-Germain has overwhelming team strength.

However, even if it is a bullying, such a number of league goals and goal efficiency are still jaw-dropping!
Second only to Suarez who scored 40 goals in La Liga!

The key is that Ibrahimovic is very self-disciplined.

If he doesn't get injured, it won't be a problem for him to be a starter at Manchester United for two years!
Facing Ling Feng's greeting, Ibrahimovic first looked Ling Feng up and down, then raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand with a playful smile and shook hands with Ling Feng:

"Man, you've been in the news everywhere lately!"

Hearing Ibrahimovic's joke, Ling Feng also raised his eyebrows and smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and said in a joking tone: "There is no way, I am quite famous in this country."

"You're an interesting person, maybe we'll be a very good pair."

Although Ibrahimovic thinks highly of himself and thinks highly of himself, he is not a fool.

He is well aware that joining Manchester United is a huge challenge.

If he wants to dispel the doubts of many people that he is "old" and "unable to adapt to the Premier League", he must score a lot of goals.

To accomplish this, you definitely need the support of your teammates.

Especially a super midfielder like Ling Feng who can provide assists for himself!
Besides, he had also seen Ling Feng play football in the stands.

In his opinion, the black-haired young man with a brilliant smile in front of him definitely possesses all the qualities to become the world's best midfielder!
Hearing Ibrahimovic's friendly words, Ling Feng smiled even more:
"Of course, it's my honor to work with a super striker like you!"

After a brief greeting, the passionate voice of the stadium DJ was heard from the stadium:

"Let's welcome players from both sides!"

Accompanied by the sudden burst of huge cheers in the stadium, players from both sides lined up to enter the field.

When passing by the Community Shield trophy, Ling Feng did not look at this, the only English top league cup championship he had not yet won.

Because he knew that as long as he won the championship, he would have plenty of time to hold it in his hands and look at it to his heart's content!
And today, he is determined to win!
This is his farewell battle!

He would never allow anyone to stop him and put a perfect end to this wonderful career as a Blue Fox!

. . .

With a long whistle from the referee Anthony Taylor, the game begins!
Leicester City took the first kick-off.

Although Vardy is still the striker, other positions have changed from Rooney, Sterling, Henderson and others to the more familiar Mahrez, Albrighton, Drinkwater! In terms of tacit understanding and chemistry, club teammates who play 40 games together a year are definitely much better than national team teammates who only get together for friendly matches every year.
The huge difference between a club and a national team is that the club has enough time to establish a tactical system.

The national team can only formulate corresponding tactics based on the configuration of players.

In the Three Lions, even though Ling Feng was established as the tactical core by Hodgson, he has a very high degree of tactical freedom.

But other players will not fully trust him and give him full control of the ball.

And back in Leicester City, he is the core and eye of the Foxes' tactical system!
Having fought side by side with Ling Feng for so long, all the players are well aware of his abilities.

Coupled with the head coach's clear ideas about the tactical system, Ling Feng has absolute tactical freedom in this Blue Fox team.

Most importantly, this Fox team does not have the "happy boy" Sterling who can't score an empty goal, nor the "one-man glass" Sturridge who shoots ruthlessly!
Returning to the tactical system centered on himself, Ling Feng was able to maximize his strength.

Even more unstoppable!
In just the third minute, Ling Feng took the ball and broke through in the middle. Before Kante and Fellaini could double-team him, he completed a powerful shot from forty meters away!

With a bang, the ball drew a strange path in the air and flew straight towards the goal.

Fortunately, the shot had a long range and a straight angle, giving De Gea some time to react.

Even so, having experience, he still didn't dare to catch the ball with his hands. Instead, he put his palms out to sea, lifted the ball upwards, and pushed it over the crossbar!
After completing this wonderful save, he immediately shouted loudly to the two defensive midfield teammates who did not play a shielding role in the midfield:

"Don't let him kick so easily!"

After shouting, De Gea suddenly thought of something, and his angry mood suddenly calmed down.

Fortunately, after this game, this guy who would shoot hard at the slightest disagreement will become his teammate.

Thinking of this, De Gea felt much more balanced.

At the same time, we couldn't help but observe a half-second of silence for the goalkeepers of the other 19 Premier League teams.
Fifteen minutes before the game, the Red Devils Manchester United, who had undergone a change of coach, reconstruction of the tactical system, and personnel replacement, were obviously still adapting to the rhythm of the game.

The Foxes, with only one position change in the starting lineup, quickly entered the game state and firmly controlled the initiative on the field.

Especially Ling Feng, who was about to leave, seemed particularly excited!
The fans of both teams in the stands had completely different reactions when they saw Ling Feng repeatedly taking the ball and creating threats on the court.

The Foxes fans, who had the upper hand, felt very excited and thrilled at first.

Then, when he thought that Ling Feng would transfer to Manchester United after the game, he couldn't help feeling worried and sad.

On the other hand, Manchester United fans regard Ling Feng, who is about to transfer, as the team's "twelfth man".

Even when Ling Feng made a wonderful pass or dribbled past Manchester United players, the Manchester United fans in the stands would cheer and applaud.

For them, it doesn't matter whether they win or not.

After all, they have won twenty Community Shield titles, so one more won't make a difference.

What’s important is Ling Feng’s performance!
And the better Ling Feng performs, the happier they are!
They have begun to look forward to the beautiful scene of Ling Feng running on the field in the Red Devils jersey after his transfer, assisting (feeding) his teammates in attacking (passing) and helping the team to capture the city!

The only person who was not satisfied with the situation on the field was Manchester United coach Mourinho who was standing on the sidelines.

He originally thought that with Kante's understanding of Ling Feng, coupled with the strong Fellaini, they would be able to somewhat limit Ling Feng's ability to get the ball and break through.

As long as Kante can entangle Ling Feng when he gets the ball or in his first step of acceleration, Fellaini on the side can provide assistance and form a double-team defense.

However, just as Kante knows Ling Feng very well, Ling Feng also knows Kante very well!
He knows Kante's defensive style and habits very well, like a piece of taffy!

Once he is stuck, Kante will continue to pressure his opponent with his terrifying running ability until he grabs the ball or the opponent passes the ball!

It can be said that among all the midfielders in the entire Premier League, Kante and Yaya Toure are the only two players who can limit him!
Precisely because he knew very well how strong Kante was, Ling Feng deliberately avoided the defense area where Kante was, and specifically chose to break through the tall but clumsy Fellaini.

Knowing that Kante is a sticky candy that cannot be shaken off once you get stuck, how could he possibly offer himself to you?

Playing football requires using your brain.

Even though Kante is everywhere, he can even cover the entire midfield by himself.

But you can't just kick Fellaini away and stick to Ling Feng every time, right?
Soon, when the game reached the 28th minute, Ling Feng got the ball in the middle, made a fake move and then quickly passed Fellaini who had been turning around for ten thousand years.

Then, before Kante could make up for his defense, he dribbled the ball to the 30-meter area in the frontcourt and then sent a precise pass!

The ball flew across the grass, passed directly between right-back Valencia and right center-back Bailly, and came into Manchester United's penalty area.

Vardy, who was cutting in from the side, understood what he meant and rushed to the left side of the ball, kicking the ball directly with the instep of his right foot!
With a swish, the ball turned into a shadow, flew past De Gea's hand, and went into the net.

After scoring the goal, Vardy was not very excited. He just turned around and pointed with both hands at Ling Feng who passed the ball to him.

Then the two of them high-fived each other and hugged each other as usual.

"Goal!!!"

"What a beautiful pass and cut combination!"

"The connection between Ling Feng and Vardy reappears at Wembley!"

"It's a pity that we will never see such scenes again in the new season."

These words also caused many Fox fans in front of the TV to fall into silence.

Heartbroken, old iron!

In the first half, the Foxes quickly opened their sharp claws and demonstrated the fearless momentum of the new Premier League champions.

Under Ling Feng's activeness, they firmly grasped the initiative on the field and launched fierce attacks on Manchester United's half again and again!
Manchester United was almost suppressed in the half and could only defend.

After the half-time break, with Herrera replacing Fellaini, who was doubting his life after being suddenly attacked by Ling Feng, Manchester United's defense in the midfield improved slightly and they finally launched some offensives.

Unfortunately, before they could do anything, they were hit hard again!
In the 55th minute of the second half, Ling Feng broke through the middle and caused Herrera to foul, resulting in a free kick opportunity 34 meters away from the goal.

Ling Feng stood in front of the ball with eyes as sharp as torches.

Facing the Red Devils' wall who were ready to fight, the best player in the Premier League mercilessly kicked the ball through the air with a powerful artillery, breaking through De Gea's defense and extending the score to 2-0!

"The ball went in!!!"

“Incredible long shot!”

"This super talent once again shines brightly on the great stage of Wembley!"

"He has helped the team win the FA Cup, League Cup and Community Shield time and again. He is the most unrivaled presence on this stadium and the undisputed king of Wembley!"

Seeing Ling Feng proudly accepting the head-on worship with his arms opened and his head held high under the attention of 90,000 spectators, both the Foxes fans and the Red Devils fans gave him thunderous applause!
