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

Chapter 449 Lin Huang, Fat Xiao, and their boss!

After winning two consecutive victories during the international match day, Ling Feng ended his brief journey as captain of the Three Lions. Still reluctant to leave, he said goodbye to his teammates and prepared to drive back to Manchester.

Lingard and Luke Shaw, who were travelling along the way, also got a ride.

However, getting a ride was not the purpose of the two.

At least not Lingard's.
"You bastard!"

When Ling Feng's black Land Rover had just driven a short distance out of St. George's Park, he heard Lin Huang's curse coming from beside him!

Before he could react, Lingard excitedly spoke into his ear!
"Damn it! It wasn't until yesterday that I realized that shabi is a curse word in Chinese! You actually gave me such a Chinese name?!"

Hearing the fluent Chinese swear words coming out of Emperor Lin's mouth, Ling Feng couldn't hold back and laughed out loud!

"Hahaha"

Luke Shaw, who was sitting in the back seat, looked confused.

"what's the situation?"

"How did you find out? I thought you would never know."

This wave of responses only earned him an international friendly gesture from Emperor Lin!
"Fake Squid!"

"A few days ago, a Chinese female fan asked me to take a photo with her. I thought she liked me. Then I told her my Chinese name, and she just laughed."

"At the time I thought it was my sense of humor, but it turned out to be totally wrong! She told me that my name is actually a common Chinese insult!!!"

"I thought the name you gave me had a lot of meaning, and I was telling everyone about it. Now everyone knows that I'm a fool!"

Hearing this, Luke Xiao, who was sitting in the back seat, finally reacted, and then laughed out loud belatedly:

"Hahaha"

While holding the steering wheel with both hands to prevent it from being snatched away by Lin Huang, Ling Feng glanced at the somewhat angry Lingard in the passenger seat through the rearview mirror, and then began to explain:

"No, no, no, Jesse, you don't know that this word has another meaning. Although this word is offensive, friends will also joke with each other and call each other idiots."

"Don't try to lie to me again!"

"Really, you can also call me a fool."

Upon hearing this, Lingard said to Ling Feng without hesitation:

"Stupid! Stupid!! Stupid!!!"

In response, Ling Feng smiled and said, "Look, I don't care at all."

Judging from Ling Feng's reaction and attitude, Lingard's inner resentment subsided a little.

Then, he suddenly added:

"To make up for my broken heart, I think you should give me another Chinese name! I want something cooler, something that sounds very domineering!"

Hearing Lingard's suggestion, Ling Feng immediately raised his eyebrows, then made a thoughtful expression, and then said the answer he had already prepared:

"Well, let me give you a Chinese nickname!"

"also."

"Then call me Emperor Lin!"

After imitating Ling Feng's tone, Lingard looked confused:
"Linwang?"

"It's Lin~~Huang~~"

"Lin~~~Huang~~~What does this mean?"

"Emperor is Emperor, and your last name has a lin, which is equivalent to Lin in Chinese. Translated into English together, it is Emperor Lin!"

"Emperor Lin"

Although I am very happy with this nickname.

But fearing that Ling Feng would lie to him again, Lingard immediately took out his mobile phone, opened the translation software, and began to speak his new Chinese into the phone:

"Lin~~Emperor~~"

However, this particular nickname cannot be directly translated into the corresponding English by translation software.

It was only under Ling Feng's guidance that he fully understood the meaning of this Chinese nickname.

However, Lingard suddenly felt a little confused about the meaning of this nickname.

"By the way, although this name is cool, isn't it a bit too arrogant?"

You know, my teammate Ling Feng, who scored 30 goals and 30 assists in a single season, didn't call himself "Ling Huang". How could I, who hasn't even secured my place as a starter, dare to give myself the nickname "Lin Huang"? !
Although he has improved a lot, he has gradually gained a foothold in Manchester United.

There are even more and more fans actively asking for autographs and taking photos with the fans.

However, he still has self-awareness.

Compared with the two superstars Ling Feng and Ibrahimovic, his statistics of seven goals and eight assists so far this season can only be considered good.

No matter how thick-skinned he is, he still feels a little embarrassed:
"I don't think I can be called an emperor, right?"

"This is my expectation for you! I hope you can play better on the field and prove that you are worthy of this nickname!"

After Ling Feng's explanation, Lingard also gladly accepted this Chinese nickname.

At this time, Luke, who was sitting in the back seat, also said eagerly:
"Ling, can you give me a Chinese nickname too?"

Although I don’t know what the purpose of this Chinese nickname is.

However, he could also feel that Ling Feng seemed to be enjoying it very much.

In addition, as a loyal fan of Ling Feng, he must of course cling tightly to Ling Feng, the club and national team.

You know, not everyone can enjoy the treatment of having Ling Feng personally give them a Chinese nickname!

Facing Luke Xiao's request, Ling Feng naturally smiled and agreed very readily:

"Of course! Well, then you can be called Fat Xiao!"

"Fat Xiao?"

Originally, with the help of Ling Feng's [Injury Recovery Card], Luke Shaw not only recovered from his broken leg injury ahead of schedule, but also appeared

Since the beginning of the season, he has firmly occupied the main force on the left side of Manchester United, and with his excellent offensive and defensive performances, everyone has seen the talent of the player who was selected into the annual best team at the age of 18.
However, since he suffered a serious leg injury, in order to increase his ability to fight and avoid another serious injury, he listened to the advice of the coaching team and started to gain muscle.

Therefore, Luke Shaw looks a little strong and a little fat.

Looking at Luke Shaw, who was almost identical to the one he remembered, Ling Feng said without hesitation the Chinese nickname given to him by the Chinese fans:

"Fat Xiao!"

Although I learned that the word "胖" means obese.

However, after Ling Feng's explanation, Luke Shaw also accepted the statement that "in China, fat represents cuteness and friendliness."

When the two were silently reciting their Chinese nicknames, Ling Feng suddenly changed the subject:
"Okay, in return for giving you a Chinese nickname, you can call me by my Chinese nickname from now on - Big Brother!!"

"Building?" "Boss! Boss~~~"

After correcting the pronunciation of the two, Ling Feng heard Lingard ask:
"What does it mean?"

"This title is when someone is very good in a certain field or aspect. We will call them a big boss!"

Hearing this, Lingard and Luke Shaw immediately understood:

"I see."

If it were in the field of football, Ling Feng would definitely be worthy of the title of "big boss".

Little did they know that Ling Feng just wanted to satisfy his desire to be a big boss.
. . .

The next day, as soon as he returned to Carrington, Ling Feng received bad news:

That means the team has two more injured players!
The team's main right-back Valencia suffered a muscle strain while playing for Ecuador!
Jones, the team's rotation central defender, also suffered a knee injury while playing for England!
In addition to Rooney who was injured before, Fellaini who suffered a head injury during a scramble in the game, and young player Mensa who suffered ligament damage, the injury list of Manchester United's first team suddenly has as many as five people!

As we enter April, Manchester United will usher in the most important month of the entire season!

First of all, in the league, they will play three consecutive league games in nine days.

Home games against West Bromwich Albion and Everton, away games against Sunderland
Fortunately, the strength of the three opponents cannot be considered strong, so as long as Manchester United concentrates, they can still win.

But they have to consider the Champions League games!

Because, just two days after Sunderland's league game, they will go to Leicester's King Power Stadium to compete with Ling Feng's old club, the "Foxes" Leicester City, in the Champions League!
Three days after the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Leicester City, they will face Chelsea in the 33rd round of the league.

This is the decisive battle for the league championship this season!

Assuming that both teams win all three league games in early April, the points gap between the two teams will still be six points.

If Manchester United beat Chelsea in this "decisive battle", their lead will reach nine points!
Well, with six league games left, Manchester United can basically declare themselves the champions in advance.

Of course, even in the worst result, losing the game, Manchester United is still three points ahead of Chelsea.

As long as they don’t fail at critical moments in the next six games, they will be able to secure the league championship.

Therefore, Manchester United still has a certain margin of error in this crucial battle.

But for Chelsea, this game is their only chance to stop Manchester United from winning the championship!

Only by winning can the points gap between the two sides be shortened to the within reach of three points.

Then, in the remaining six league rounds, continue to put pressure on Manchester United, and then wait for Manchester United to lose points in the league because of distraction from the Champions League, and then reverse the situation in one fell swoop!

In comparison, Chelsea is under less pressure.

Because they only have one front, the league.

Manchester United also has to focus on the Champions League and weigh the importance of the league and the Champions League.

This will test Mourinho's rotation strategy and how to choose the lineup to deal with the league and Champions League games.

If we are not careful, the team may collapse all of a sudden and lose the possibility of competing for both the league and Champions League titles!
Fortunately, as one of the best head coaches in today's football world, Mourinho has more experience in fighting on two fronts than 90% of head coaches!
He knows what to do!
. . .

In the 30th round of the league, Manchester United faced West Bromwich Albion, who were ranked eighth in the league, at home.

This season, West Bromwich Albion has played very tenacious football under the leadership of Tony Pulis.

Although the scene was very ugly, there were few goals.

However, thanks to its strong defense, it has managed to gain a foothold in the Premier League.

It’s a pity that they are facing Manchester United, the team with the most ferocious offensive firepower in the Premier League in this game!
Playing at home, Mourinho sent out all his main players without hesitation!

In order to give Argentine international Rojo, who had just returned from South America, a rest and to strengthen the backcourt's passing ability, Mourinho boldly asked Blind, who had not played as a central defender for a long time, to partner with Bailly as a central defender!

Before the game, he gave his disciples orders:
"Attack! Attack!! Attack again!!!"

"Seventy minutes ago, I saw that we had resolved the battle!"

"This game will be our first step towards regaining the league championship!"

Under Mourinho's encouragement, Manchester United players received a morale-boosting BUFF.

Even though West Bromwich Albion retreated to the half court and parked the bus;
Even though West Bromwich Albion did not allow Manchester United to have a single shot on target in the first 20 minutes;
However, under the Red Devils' fierce attack like a crimson wave, the city gate was still lost!
In the 21st minute of the game, Ling Feng got the ball on the right, made an unreasonable breakthrough, and then sent a curved cross.

The ball drew a perfect parabola in the air, passing the players on both sides at the front and middle points and flew to the back point.

Martial, who was at the back post, headed the ball into the goal with just his forehead when no one was watching!

One to zero!

After the opening, West Bromwich Albion's defense seemed to collapse instantly!

Perhaps the head coach and the players did not expect that a goal would be scored so soon.

When we are one goal behind, should we continue to defend or attack?

There were some disagreements among the players.

Just five minutes later, Ibrahimovic retreated to the middle to get the ball and was knocked down from behind by the opponent's midfielder.

The referee on duty decisively awarded a free kick!

Since the distance was relatively close, only about 22 meters, it was not easy to use their heavy artillery.
Ling Feng took the initiative to ask Ibrahimovic and Rooney if they wanted to take the free kick.

Ibrahimovic, who felt in good form in this game, took the initiative to take the penalty.

It was a powerful shot at a very straight angle and hit the goalkeeper directly.

The latter did not dare to be negligent and punched the ball out with both fists.

Unexpectedly, the ball flew right to where Ling Feng was.

A ball delivered to the door?!

It would be a waste if you don’t shoot!
Ling Feng didn't hesitate and volleyed the ball into the air without stopping!

With a loud bang, the ball flew into the net like a low-altitude cruise missile, sticking closely to the inside of the goal post.

The West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper was stunned and did not react at all.

After obtaining the [Volley] attribute of Van Persie, the star who can kill with a stop shot, Ling Feng's volley shooting success rate and accuracy have been greatly improved!

At least he can reach 70% of Van Persie's ability!

After taking a two-goal lead in the first half, Manchester United showed no intention of stopping in the second half.

Ibrahimovic and Rooney scored in succession, extending the score to 4-0.

It was not until the 70th minute of the game, seeing that the team was already four goals ahead, that Mourinho called off the game and replaced three main players, Rooney, Kante and Ibrahimovic, in preparation for the next league game.

In the end, thanks to Ling Feng's pass and shot, and Ibrahimovic's second goal, Manchester United firmly won the first league game of April!
Three days after beating West Bromwich Albion 4-0 at Old Trafford, Manchester United once again faced the challenge of the "Toffees" Everton.

Everton, who had just lost the Merseyside derby at Anfield in the last round, were in low morale.

In front of Mourinho's Red Devils, whose lineup is relatively complete and whose tactical system is basically established, teams below the BIG6 are not taken seriously at all!

Three to zero, that was the number shown on the scoreboard when the full-time whistle sounded!
