Chapter 384: Comparing the two greats? Red Devils' debut!

8 month 14 number.

At the Dean Court Stadium, the smallest stadium in the Premier League, Manchester United ushered in a new era of Mourinho's coaching.

"Today is José Mourinho's first Premier League game in charge of Manchester United. It is a historic moment."

"Not only that, this game is also the Manchester United debut of football transfer king Lingfeng!"

"This game is of great significance to the 21-year-old best player in the Premier League!"

"Playing in a giant club like Manchester United, playing with superstars like Rooney and Ibrahimovic, can he continue to show his extraordinary magic? Or does he need some time to adapt to the new team and new tactics?"

"let us wait and see"

In the player tunnel, Manchester United players, wearing white away jerseys, are ready to go.

As the most expensive signing in the team's history, Ling Feng stood at the end of the queue.

All this made him feel both strange and familiar.

Although I joined a new team and changed into a new jersey.

However, there are many familiar faces in the team.

Looking at Kante standing in front of him, wearing the No. 6 jersey, Ling Feng inexplicably felt as if he had transferred, but also as if he had not transferred.

Compared to his first professional debut for Leicester City in the FA Cup, Ling Feng, who has been working in the professional football world for more than two years, no longer has the initial excitement and

Even so, his heart was still very excited.

He knew very well that this was not only his league debut wearing the No. 7 jersey of Manchester United, but also his first step from a small club to a big club and to truly begin his journey to the pinnacle of football!
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.

If he wants to continue to maintain his annual growth rate, he must not only deal with the open and secret struggles in the giants' locker rooms off the court, but also continue to maintain a stable and excellent performance on the court!

Therefore, Ling Feng also reminds himself all the time in his heart.

This is no longer the Leicester City where the media and fans will be very tolerant of him no matter how he performs;

Instead, Manchester United is being watched under a magnifying glass by the media and fans all the time, and if they are not careful, they will be caught in accusations and criticisms!

He is no longer a big name for a small local team;
Instead, he is the football transfer king with a value of over 100 million and the savior of Manchester United in the eyes of all fans!
The club has high demands, the fans have high expectations, and the media has high attention.
Even for Ling Feng, who has lived two lives, this is definitely a new and huge challenge!

It is worth mentioning that before the game, his football idol Beckham called him specially to encourage him to carry forward the No. 7 jersey he was wearing.

Manchester United godfather Ferguson, as well as England and Manchester United stars who have a good relationship with him, such as Neville and Ferdinand, also sent him text messages to congratulate him on his upcoming debut for Manchester United.
It is no exaggeration to say that Manchester United's legends will place the heavy responsibility of leading the Red Devils' revival on him!

Ling Feng actually enjoys the tremendous pressure from within the club and the public.

Because he firmly believes that he will become stronger and stronger, all opponents and difficulties that stand in his way will be ruthlessly defeated and crushed by him!

"Let's welcome the players from both teams"

Amid the cheers and applause of the fans, players from both teams filed into the stadium.

When the live camera was focused on Ling Feng at the end of the line, the Red Devils fans in the stands who had followed the team to the away game suddenly burst into the loudest cheers.

These Manchester United fans are supporting the new No. 7, who cost the club's record transfer fee, in their own way, hoping that he can give a wonderful performance for the club and fans in his debut.

Just like he did at Leicester City!

At this moment, Lee Dixon, the famous commentator in charge of this game, couldn't help but sigh:

"This billionaire who Manchester United just signed is regarded by Mourinho as a top player on the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi."

"This game may be the beginning of him proving himself."

Before the game, Liverpool coach Klopp and Arsenal coach Wenger both expressed their opinions on Manchester United's super operation of spending the highest transfer fee in football to sign Ling Feng.

Klopp said he would not buy a player for 1 million.

This is crazy!
What if he gets hurt?
Wenger, who has always been frugal, also said: "Spending 100 million on a player is simply crazy! Even if it is Ling Feng!"

"You know, money can't buy you a championship."

It is worth mentioning that even though they questioned the deal, the two did not deny Ling Feng’s strength.

I just find it unbelievable that such an expensive transfer fee was spent just to buy one player.

However, Manchester United legends and fans only regarded the opinions of the two as sour grapes.

You know, in this summer window, Liverpool and Arsenal also sent offers to Leicester City to participate in the competition for Ling Feng.

However, due to lack of funds, they finally chose to withdraw.

They didn't think Ling Feng was expensive, but they were unhappy that they couldn't afford so much money and were snatched away by their rival Manchester United!

If they had the money to take Ling Feng down, they wouldn't have made such sour remarks.
As for the doubts raised by his competitors, Mourinho's response was also very domineering:

"Breaking the transfer record is allowed to happen, especially at a club like Manchester United. I don't think they (Liverpool, Arsenal) will ever have that kind of trouble."

"Because, to have this kind of trouble, you have to be in the top club in the world."

"What's more, in my eyes, Ling Feng has already done what Messi and Ronaldo can't do at this age. He has undoubtedly become a player at the same level as Messi and Ronaldo, or even a pursuer behind them!"

"A world-class player like Ling Feng will only join the best clubs."

"That's Manchester United!"

This wave of replies not only hit back at Klopp and Wenger, but also praised his favorite player Ling Feng and Manchester United. It simply makes people call him "high EQ!"

However, Mourinho's comment that "Ling Feng is on par with the two superstars" caused anger and dissatisfaction among Melo's fans!

Although in the 14-15 season, when Hazard played the best performance of his career, Mourinho also commented that the Blues No. was already one of the three best players in the world.

However, that was not as direct as the current evaluation of Ling Feng!

For a time, Mourinho's remarks once again pushed Ling Feng to the forefront.

Previously, when Ling Feng broke the transfer fee record in football, it had already caused an online war of words between La Liga fans, Ling Feng fans and Premier League fans.

Supporters think Ling Feng deserves it, while opponents think Ling Feng does not.

But this time, he has offended the two most powerful fan bases in football!

They are the fans and followers of the two most handsome guys!
"He is a young man who is praised by the media. How can he compare with the king of football Messi?!"

"Don't even get involved, little brat who hasn't even played in the Champions League!"

"Messi has already won the Champions League at his age! What about Ling Feng?" Compared to the intense reaction of Messi's fans, Luo's fans were not so enthusiastic.

The reason is very simple, Luo Ge and Ling Feng have a good relationship!

Not only does Ling Feng have the same agent as Luo Ge, but they also attended Mendes' wedding together, so they can be considered friends.

The two also interacted several times during the European Cup.

In the post-match interview after defeating England, Luo Ge said that Ling Feng will definitely become one of the best in the world in the future.

What's more, Ling Feng is now wearing the Red Devils No. 7 jersey that Luo Ge once wore.

In the eyes of some of Luo Ge's fans, Ling Feng is more like Luo Ge's successor.

Of course, this heated debate also attracted Luo Ge, who often surfs the Internet.

Then, the media discovered that Luo Ge liked the comment of a netizen.

The content of the comments was a comparison of Ling Feng's data with Melo.

Whether it is the number of goals or the number of assists, the 21-year-old Ling Feng has more than the 21-year-old Melo!
The conclusion of this comment is actually to support Ling Feng.

Luo Ge's wave of likes was also seen by the outside world as a recognition of Ling Feng.

Perhaps only Ronaldo himself knows that after the head-on confrontation in the European Cup semi-finals, he has regarded Ling Feng as a competitor who may threaten his competition for the Golden Ball this year and in the future!

However, he is always proud of himself and will not admit this in front of others.

Because, in his opinion and that of all the media and fans, Cristiano Ronaldo has only one competitor.

That’s Barcelona’s number ten!

As for the disputes on social media, Ling Feng remained calm.

In his opinion, this is just the only way to reach the top of football!

As his performance gets better and better and he wins more and more championship honors, he will inevitably be included in the discussion for the Golden Globe Awards and will inevitably form a competitive relationship with the two rising stars.

In the seven or eight years since 2008, no one has been able to truly threaten the football landscape of the duo.

Iniesta, Sneijder, Ribery, Suarez, Neymar
These superstars all lost in the competition with Melo.

This year, he also joined the ranks.

As early as the off-season, the agency team led by Mendes had actually discussed the possibility of this year's Golden Globe Award with Ling Feng.

And the final conclusion is that the chances are slim!
Even though Ling Feng won the Premier League and Europa League titles at the club level as an absolute core player, and led England to the semi-finals of the European Cup at the national team level, tying the best record in history.

He has also scored an astonishing 60 goals in all competitions, and won a host of personal honors including Premier League MVP, Premier League assist king, Europa League assist king, European Cup best player, European Cup Golden Boot, etc. It will be difficult for Ling Feng to snatch the top two places in the Ballon d'Or from Melo.

Because Ronaldo won the more prestigious Champions League and European Cup titles, which put him above him!
Messi not only has excellent personal statistics, but also has the honors of La Liga champion and America's Cup runner-up.

More importantly, both of them are more famous and influential than him!
To beat the two and win the Golden Globe, several conditions must be met:

First, there is the championship honor.

Either in the international competition year, win the European Cup or the World Cup as a core player;

Or, in years when there are no international competitions, he can win the club's league championship and the highest honor, the Champions League, as a core player.

Second, it’s personal performance.

Personal data must explode, the number of goals and assists must reach at least twenty!
For Ling Feng, who has already reached double 20 in the Premier League, the latter is not a problem.

The former is the biggest problem.

After all, the Champions League and international championship titles are not something you can win just by wanting to.

In addition to championship honors and personal performance, team influence and public relations skills are also important factors in determining whether he can win the Golden Ball!
This is why Ling Feng chose Manchester United, a top platform whose influence is no less than Real Madrid and Barcelona!

Although this year's Golden Globe Award has most likely belonged to Rogo.

However, Ling Feng was not discouraged and was satisfied with his own progress.

After all, he is only 21 years old, but he has already become a threat to the Melo Ballon d'Or.

This in itself is a huge achievement!

If the two heroes were really defeated so easily, there is no way they could have dominated the football world for more than a decade!
Moreover, transferring to a new club represents a new beginning.

Wearing the legendary No. 7 jersey of the Red Devils, his overall rating exceeded 90, which also made him full of motivation!

The singing of the home team's fans echoed in his ears. He looked down at his Manchester United jersey and the pair of exclusive boots that symbolized his identity. Ling Feng couldn't help but curl up his lips and reveal a bright smile:

Since you think I am not worthy enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Melo, starting from this game, I will use my strength to prove it to the world!

Beep~~~
With the referee's whistle, the first round of the 2016-17 Premier League, the "Red Devils" Manchester United away game against the "Cherries" Bournemouth, officially kicked off!
The visiting Manchester United took the first kick-off.

Ibrahimovic, wearing the number nine shirt, passed the ball back to Ling Feng, who then kicked the ball back to Carrick behind him.

In this game, Mourinho chose the combination of Carrick and Kante in the defensive midfielder position.

The former is responsible for receiving the ball and organizing the offense in the midfield and backcourt, while the latter is responsible for sweeping and intercepting the midfield area. The division of labor is clear.

Moreover, considering the average strength of the opponent, Mourinho hopes that Carrick can become the ball-passing hub in the midfield and backcourt, delivering the ball to the frontcourt players as soon as possible, so that Ling Feng will not need to retreat more often to receive the ball.

Such an arrangement can indeed ensure Manchester United's ability to pass the ball in the midfield and backcourt.

However, as a second-year rookie who was just promoted last season, Bournemouth under the young coach Eddie Howe has a fearlessness that is not afraid of wearing shoes when barefoot.

Facing Manchester United, which was obviously much stronger than themselves, they did not adopt the strategy of retreating to the backcourt and parking the bus, but chose to take the initiative and press high!

Encouraged by the home fans, the Bournemouth players, wearing red and black jerseys, were full of energy and put enough pressure in the frontcourt.

Manchester United's "stars" did not expect their opponents to be so aggressive.

When the game reached the ninth minute, Bournemouth successfully pressed in the frontcourt and intercepted the pass that Smalling was trying to pass to Carrick.

Immediately afterwards, before Kante approached, Wilshere, the former Arsenal prince who was loaned to Bournemouth this season, suddenly shot!

Perhaps because the defender's view was blocked, and the angle of the shot was too tricky, De Gea was unable to save the ball and could only watch the ball fly into the upper right corner of the goal!
The next second, the entire Dean Court Stadium, which could accommodate more than 10,000 people, suddenly erupted in amazing cheers!
Seeing that Bournemouth actually scored the first goal, Mourinho's face on the sidelines suddenly darkened.

Ling Feng, who was standing on the field and witnessed the entire process of this goal, raised his eyebrows.

good good!
This is my first show, and you guys are going to give me this much intensity, right?!
