Chapter 493 Four goals in the first half! Shoe-shining celebration!

8 month 11 number.

The 2017~18 Premier League season officially kicks off!

The "Gunners" Arsenal and the "Foxes" Leicester City presented the fans with a wonderful goal battle in the opening match!

This game is simply a divine script.

Arsenal started with a blitz, then fell behind twice and equalized twice.

Finally, Giroud, who came on as a substitute, helped the team defeat the Foxes with just his first touch of the ball in the game!
You are truly worthy of being the king of heaven and the tiger of earth, I am Giroud!
After defeating Leicester City, Arsenal was able to play one more round and top the standings!
Subsequently, the flames of the Premier League war were ignited in various parts of England!

It was not until two days later that Manchester United, as one of the last two teams to appear in this round of the league, ushered in the first round of the new season.

And the opponent is the "Hammer Gang" West Ham United led by Croatian coach Bilic!
After West Ham United lost its core player Payet in the winter window last season, the team's performance has been fluctuating and it eventually only ranked eleventh in the league.

This summer, the Hammers, backed by the big city of London, have spent a lot of money to strengthen their team in order to enter the European war zone.

Although more than ten players were transferred out, well-known stars such as "Little Pea" Hernandez, Sabaletta, Arnautovic, Joe Hart, etc. were also introduced. Judging from the strength on paper, there is still a certain improvement.

Especially these new players, all have rich experience in the Premier League, and their main focus is on seamless connection.

However, it takes time to adapt to the new environment, new coach and new tactics.

What's more, their opponent is the "Premier League Devil" Manchester United!
Therefore, most media and football journalists predict that Manchester United will secure a comfortable start to the season at home.

At the home stadium of Old Trafford, Ling Feng made his Premier League debut as captain of Manchester United.

The moment he stepped into the stadium from the player tunnel holding the team flag in his hand and leading the caddy, the whole audience burst into amazing cheers and applause!
The live broadcast camera then turned to the 22-year-old, high-spirited Red Devils captain.

"After the great Wayne Rooney left the team, Ling Feng became the new leader of this club!"

"This may be the most talented young man in the history of the Premier League. He will lead the team as captain in the new season and continue to fight for the championship."

"Let's wait and see what wonderful performances he will bring us this season!"

With 76,000 fans as witness, Manchester United scored the first goal in less than three minutes!

Herrera took the ball in the midfield and passed it to Ling Feng who was retreating.

The Red Devils' No.7 pulled the ball back with his back and passed it past the West Ham United midfielder who was defending him, then dribbled forward.

Before another defensive midfielder could steal the ball, he made a diagonal pass to Rashford on the left.

The latter followed the ball and broke into the penalty area. Near the baseline, he stopped with his right foot and then completed a reverse triangle pass!
Ling Feng in the middle was in position, broke out from the crowd, and with a push of his right foot, he ruthlessly sent the ball into the bottom corner of the goal!
Joe Hart didn't even have time to react, he just stood there blankly.

"Wow!"

"The ball is in!"

"Manchester United's first goal of the new Premier League season is born!"

"The one who scored the goal was their new captain! Nanbo Seven~~~ Ling Feng!!!"

In just three minutes, Manchester United scored a goal, which caught West Ham United completely off guard.

Bilic on the sidelines was furious.

The West Ham United players on the field were confused.

Uh?
Didn't the game just start? How did the ball go in?

The West Ham United coach and players were stunned by the opening blow and had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
Five minutes later, West Ham United launched an attack on the wing, but there was a pass error and it was intercepted by Kante.

The Premier League's top defensive midfielder looked up and sent a straight pass to the right wing.

Ling Feng's crotch slipped, and he turned and ran past West Ham United midfielder and captain Noble, then caught up with the ball, and then made a two-pass wall pass with Ibrahimovic who was retreating in the middle, and successfully got to the top of the penalty area and made a push!
The ball flew accurately past the feet of Hammers center back Reid, then stuck closely to the grass and went straight into the near corner of the goal!
Joe Hart has no idea what to do!
In less than ten minutes, Manchester United seemed to have snatched a hammer from West Ham United, and then hit West Ham United's head twice, directly stunning it.

Although I know Manchester United is very strong.

However, I didn’t expect that they would score goals as if it were a piece of cake!

No matter how weak West Ham United is, it is still a mid-table team in the Premier League.

However, under Manchester United's attack, they were completely unable to fight back!

However, Ling Feng's personal performance has not ended yet!
In the 15th minute of the game, Lukaku received a surgical pass from Ling Feng, broke into the penalty area, and faced the goalkeeper alone.

In a flash, Kaku changed direction and accelerated, trying to get past the goalkeeper, but was knocked down by Joe Hart's hand.

Accompanied by Kaku's realistic scream of "Ah", the referee who witnessed everything decisively pointed to the penalty spot!
The team's first penalty taker, Ibrahimovic, gave the penalty to Ling Feng who had already scored twice.

"You owe me a goal! Remember to pay me back later!"

After saying this, Ibrahimovic threw the ball to Ling Feng and turned away.

The latter couldn't help but smile, and then put the ball on the penalty spot.

He thought that he had already scored twice in this game, which was the minimum requirement of two goals per game, so there was no need to take a penalty.

However, it is difficult to refuse Ibrahimovic's kindness.

What's more, the more goals he scores, the faster he will get closer to his annual goal of 91 goals!

Anyway, I can just feed Ibrahimovic some cakes later as compensation.
Facing his former national team teammate Joe Hart, the "world's professional background board", Ling Feng showed no mercy at all.

With a powerful shot, the ball went into the upper right corner of the goal!
With a "swish", the white net ripples continuously, and the stands turn into a jubilant red ocean!

How can I not be excited?!
Just fifteen minutes into the game, their new captain had already completed the first hat-trick of the new Premier League season!

"GOAL!!!"

"hat trick!"

"The game had only been going on for fifteen minutes and Ling Feng had already scored a hat trick!!!"

Ling Feng is now at full firepower and no one can stop him!

Just eight minutes later, Ling Feng dribbled the ball in the midfield area and had just passed West Ham United midfielder Obiang when he was stopped by another West Ham United captain, Noble, who grabbed his waist with both hands.

This action not only received boos from the home team fans, but also received a yellow card warning from the referee.

The foul site was about thirty-five meters away from the goal, which was just within the range of Ling Feng's free kick.

When seeing Ling Feng, wearing the number seven jersey and the captain's armband, standing in front of the ball, many Red Devils fans at the scene couldn't help but have the same thought in their minds:

We got the ball!
It’s nothing, this man is the player with the most free kick goals in the top five leagues for two consecutive seasons!

It’s not an exaggeration to call him a free kick master!
And Ling Feng did not disappoint them!
A powerful and heavy kick from the super heavy artillery directly blasted open Joe Hart's door. "Incredible!"

"Super Seven!"

"Ling Feng defeated West Ham United single-handedly!"

"Happy Fourth!!!"

In just less than twenty minutes, Ling Feng completed a hat trick!
According to official Premier League match statistics, the exact time Ling Feng took in the first half was eighteen minutes and forty-five seconds!

Although it is not the fastest goal of the Premier League in history.

But, it is also the second fastest!

It is worth mentioning that the fastest four goals in the history of the Premier League was also achieved by another Manchester United player.

It is Manchester United’s famous “Baby-face Killer” Solskjaer!

In the 1998-99 season, he came on as a substitute in the st minute of the second half of Manchester United's away game against Nottingham Forest.

Then, in just thirteen minutes, he scored four goals, with an efficiency that is astonishing!

Ling Feng, who completed a hat trick, just opened his arms and greeted the cheers and applause with a smile on his face!

At this moment, he is the God of Old Trafford!
The other teammates rushed to his side and surrounded him.

After hugging and high-fiving everyone, Maguire, who was the last to leave, made an unexpected move in front of 76,000 people at Old Trafford and countless fans in front of the TV:

The 1.95-meter-tall guy knelt on one knee, put Ling Feng's right foot on his knee, and then made a shoe-wiping gesture!

You know, this action is only performed when a player has the highest respect for another player.

The most classic shoe-polishing celebration in football is the scene when Francisco Moreiro, wearing the No. 17 jersey, put the right foot of the "alien" Ronaldo, who had just scored a pendulum-like goal, on his knees and wiped it when he played for Inter Milan!
This scene was also recorded by the photographer on the scene.

Ling Feng did not expect that Maguire would give him such high treatment!

In addition to being moved, he gave Maguire a big hug after standing up.

"Thank you, Harry."

Maguire's answer was very meaningful:

"Come to think of it, I should thank you!"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be standing here, and I wouldn't have the chance to witness your superb performance so closely!"

Hearing this, Ling Feng raised his hand and patted Maguire's arm, "Hahaha, you are getting better and better at talking!"

Maguire just said seriously:

"You know me. I always tell the truth."

. . .

As Ling Feng scored four goals in just one and a half, both the home fans in Old Trafford and the fans in front of the TV began to look forward to it:
How many goals will Ling Feng score in this game? !

However, just when everyone thought that Ling Feng would continue to fire at full speed in the second half and score the fifth or even sixth goal of the game, the Red Devils captain played like two completely different people!
In the first half, Ling Feng basically had the opportunity to shoot without hesitation.

However, after the second half, Ling Feng no longer did that, but drastically reduced the frequency of his personal possession of the ball and attacking the goal, and instead focused on organizing and connecting, feeding the ball to his teammates!
When seeing the scene where Ling Feng attracted most of the defense's attention by holding the ball at the front of the penalty area, and then suddenly sent a hidden small through ball to help Ibrahimovic to shoot into the goal with a half-turn, all the Red Devils fans, whether at Trafford or in front of the TV, could not help but sigh in their hearts:
So mature!

Scoring a goal is the most satisfying thing in a football match.

A mature and great captain must learn to share the joy on the field with his teammates.

As the saying goes, after you have had your fun, you should also let your teammates have their fun.
Thanks to Ling Feng's four goals, plus successive goals from Ibrahimovic and Lukaku, Manchester United was already leading West Ham United 6-0 in the 65th minute of the game.

Seeing that West Ham United players were beginning to become angry and even engaged in rough offensive actions, Mourinho quickly replaced three main players, Ling Feng, Ibrahimovic and Kante, with young players from the youth training camp to let them feel the atmosphere of the game.

He also told the players not to score any more goals and to give the opponents some face!
In this way, the score of six to zero lasted until the last second of the game.

And no one expected that in the first round of the league, the "Red Devils" Manchester United would defeat the visiting "Hammer Gang" West Ham United with a big score at home!
Ling Feng also became the first player in Premier League history to score four goals in the first half!
At the same time, he also became the second-youngest player in the history of the Premier League to complete the achievement of four goals, second only to Portsmouth legendary striker "Buffalo" Yakubu!

Of course, scoring four goals is not uncommon in the Premier League.

Even among the midfielders who completed the hat trick, Lampard and Wijnaldum had already done it before Ling Feng.

However, this was the first time in Ling Feng's career that he scored four goals in a row!
Worth remembering!

In his first league game as Manchester United captain, he scored four goals. Such a performance made the Manchester United executives and Mr. Ferguson who were watching the game on the spot smile.

Sure enough, the decision to build the team around Ling Feng and appoint him as captain was extremely correct!

Thinking of Barcelona's coveted interest in Ling Feng, "Third Dezi" Woodward immediately said to his right-hand man "Second Dezi" Arnold:

"We must renew the contract with Ling! It would be best if it were for ten or eight years!"

Arnold, the team's business director who looked like a shrewd fat man, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked:
“I want to know, what is the bottom line for the club?”

"As long as it doesn't exceed 30 million, give it as you like!"

At the post-match press conference, Mourinho expressed his views in high spirits:
"I think Ling Feng is the best player in the world today!"

The reporters didn't even have the energy to refute this bold statement.

It is worth mentioning that since Mourinho took over Manchester United last season, the reporters who were once very harsh and picky about Mourinho and always found various faults have gradually become mute.

Whether it is the pre-match press conference or the post-match press conference, Mourinho no longer has to face aggressive reporters, but instead enjoys their flattery and praise.

He had never received such treatment before.

As for the reason, it's very simple.

It’s not that these reporters who chase traffic and breaking news have changed, but that Manchester United’s performance is too good and they simply can’t find much to complain about!
You know, last season Manchester United lost no more than six games in total!
Moreover, under the leadership of Ling Feng, Manchester United held high the banner of offensive football and often played a lot of amazingly "beautiful" offensive combinations.

This is completely different from Mourinho's previous ugly utilitarian football that focused on defense and counterattack.

The best part is that the result of his first season as coach was a convincing treble!
Therefore, apart from finding faults, there is nothing wrong with them at all!

It is worth mentioning that in addition to Mourinho, Maguire is another person who has benefited greatly from Ling Feng.

Therefore, when answering reporters' questions after the game, Maguire also answered the reason why he made the shoe-wiping action:
"It is my honor to fight alongside the best player in the world like Ling Feng!"

"If I could, I would shine his shoes for every game!"
