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

Chapter 500: Sixty goals of the year! The third man of the new century!

"GOAL!!!"

"Manchester United completed a wonderful pass and cut in Everton's backcourt, and finally their captain finished it!"

"Manchester United scored two goals in less than 20 minutes!"

"This game still follows the Red Devils rhythm that we are familiar with!"

While watching Ling Feng running to the stands and blowing kisses to his girlfriend crazily after scoring the goal, Rooney just put his hands on his hips, breathing heavily, with a serious look on his face.

At this moment, he also deeply felt that this Manchester United without him has become stronger than last season!
Originally, when he was playing for Manchester United, he clearly felt that the team played more easily, and both offense and defense were more comfortable.

However, after his position changed and he became Manchester United's opponent, he experienced firsthand the feeling of being an enemy of the current Manchester United!
One word: uncomfortable!
Especially after Lukaku replaced his position, Manchester United truly achieved the simultaneous development of both wings.

Two fast horses on the wing, paired with Ling Feng who organizes the team in the center, is a perfect match!

With a graceful surgical pass, he was able to create a beautiful quick pass and cut combination, easily breaking through Everton's entire defense and feeding the ball to the winger's mouth.

The latter can both cut inside and shoot, and pass the ball across the middle, making him almost impossible to defend against!
Both goals in the first half were scored by Ling Feng who received the ball in the middle and then launched the attack, fully demonstrating the technical and tactical thinking of combining the wing and center tactics.

It is worth mentioning that this season, Manchester United's goal efficiency in the first half is much higher than in the second half.

Especially the number of goals scored in the first 20 minutes of the game, which accounted for % of the goals scored in all time periods!
This number reflects the team's strong side in quickly entering the game rhythm.

Under Mourinho's coaching, this Manchester United is no longer the slow-starting team with a lot of ineffective passes.

Of course, the coaching of the head coach is important, but it is always the players who play.

If the players do not resolutely implement the coach's tactics, even the most powerful coach will be powerless.

The key figure in Manchester United’s huge changes is naturally Ling Feng!
As a number ten player, Ling Feng can not only deliver extremely penetrating and threatening passes, but can also hold the ball and advance in the middle, speeding up the team's offense anytime and anywhere.

It can also be used as a hook in this position to attract the opponent's defensive players to leave the defense, create space and opportunities for forward teammates, and can also independently launch a powerful attack on the goal and complete a very lethal shot!
It can even serve as the first barrier in the team's high-pressure tactics in the midfield, pressing the opponent's midfielder and slowing down the speed of the ball!

It can be said that he can break through, pass, shoot and defend, and he is proficient in everything!
This is equivalent to Ling Feng alone having the functions and roles of five different roles: attacking midfielder, frontcourt organizing core, shadow striker, number nine and a half, and classic attacking midfielder!
This is why he is called "the man with his own system"!

Less than 30 minutes into the first half, they were two goals ahead. Mourinho took advantage of the dead ball to tell Luke Shaw, who was preparing to kick the ball out,

"Tell Ling not to hit him too hard!"

After all, Everton, the opponent, has a very good relationship with Manchester United.

In the past two decades, there have been many transfer transactions between Manchester United and Everton. For example, Rooney, Fellaini and Moyes joined Manchester United from Everton, and Phil Neville and Gibson joined Everton from Manchester United.

This season, the two sides also facilitated two major transactions:
Rooney returns to his old club after many years; Lukaku joins Manchester United and starts a new journey!

Plus, this game was Rooney's first game back at Old Trafford, so there was no need to be too cruel.

As I said, football is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom!

Upon receiving the instruction from the head coach, the captain and commander Ling Feng also slightly controlled the tempo of the game to let everyone slow down.

Seeing this, Everton also pushed their formation forward and pressed the opponent.

However, Everton, which was composed of a large number of new players, could not snatch the ball from Manchester United players.
It was not until the 70th minute of the second half that Everton, still two goals behind, finally made a substitution.

Everton coach Koeman chose to replace Rooney with striker Sandro Ramirez, who transferred from Malaga.

Rooney, who was Everton's starting center forward in this game, did nothing in the 70 minutes he was on the field.

Even the number of touches of the ball is pitifully small!
Even so, when Rooney left the field, all the fans stood up and gave the former meritorious captain a farewell round of applause.

But to Rooney, these applause sounded a bit harsh.

He did not receive applause because he played well, but because he had fought hard in this stadium for more than ten years!
Of course, he also knows that the fans have no ill intentions towards him, but instead are full of respect and love for him.

However, just after Rooney left the field, Manchester United seemed to finally let go and launched wave after wave of attacks again.

In the remaining time, two more goals were scored, and the score finally became four to zero!
After the game, Rooney took the initiative to find his former teammates and shook hands with them.

When it was Ling Feng's turn, Rooney gave his successor a big hug.

"It seems like you've done a very good job as captain!"

“This is all thanks to your words and deeds and valuable advice.”

Hearing this, Rooney smiled even more, and then punched Ling Feng lightly on the chest:
"I hope you can lead Manchester United and the Three Lions to continue moving forward and win the championship!"

Ling Feng nodded seriously and confidently:
"I will handle it!"

. . .

After defeating Everton, Manchester United was like a speeding supercar in the next half month, knocking down all opponents that stood in its way!

On September 9th, all substitutes plus young players from the youth team swept the English League Two team Burton 20-!

On September 9, Manchester United played away against the "Saints" Southampton, and with all their main players, they won the game 23- away from home.

However, the small flaw of allowing the opponent to use set pieces to break the record of keeping a clean sheet made Mourinho a little unhappy, and he directly strengthened the defense of set pieces in training.

On September 9, in the second round of the Champions League group stage, we came to the slightly gloomy Moscow to face the Russian Premier League giants CSKA Moscow.

At the beginning, the Red Devils were a little uncomfortable with the slightly cold climate, and their opponents took advantage of their home advantage to launch a very threatening attack, which almost penetrated the goal.

Fortunately, thanks to De Gea's wonderful save, the team did not let the opponent take the lead.

With Ling Feng's shouts and Mourinho's "hair dryer" on the sidelines, Manchester United players began to cheer up.

In the first half, Ibrahimovic broke the deadlock with a shot from outside the penalty area.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Feng received the ball on the left flank, cut inside, and shot into the far corner, scoring another goal.

In the second half, Manchester United continued to use the flank penetration tactics, constantly using passes and breakthroughs to attack the area between the opponent's center back and full back.

"Super substitute" Lingard received a brilliant pass from Ling Feng, broke into the penalty area and shot successfully, adding the icing on the cake!
In the end, Manchester United was able to escape from Moscow unscathed and continue their winning streak! On September 9, Manchester United returned to their home ground and faced the challenge of Crystal Palace in the seventh round of the league.

Amid the cheers of the home fans, the Red Devils, who only rotated their lineup, were in firm control of the situation on the field from the first second.

In this game, Luke Shaw, the best left-back in the Premier League last season, became the most handsome guy on the field!
In Mourinho's first season in charge, the two full-backs rarely participated in the attack.

Because the four-man team led by Ling Feng in the frontcourt is enough to break the opponent's defense, and there is no need for the two full-backs to risk being hit from behind and join the attack.

In the first half of last season, Manchester United's two full-backs would not attack the opponent's hinterland, but only pressed the area near the center line in the overall formation, and then

It was not until the second half of the season that Mourinho allowed the two full-backs to move forward a little further and make overlapping or 45-degree crosses.

In the new season, people found that the two full-backs were given greater offensive freedom!
Luke Shaw and Valencia often even come to the area near the baseline to complete the cross.

The advantage of this is that the two front wingers have more offensive players, creating a local advantage of more people against fewer.

Of course, there are risks.

Once the full-backs press too high, only two central defenders, Maguire and Bailly, are left in the backcourt.

Bailey is better.

But Maguire's speed of turning around and chasing back was like an aircraft carrier turning around. Once the opponent passed him with the ball, he could not catch up at all.

However, facing an opponent with a large gap in strength, such risk is almost zero.

Because there is still the "insurmountable hurdle" of Kante in the midfield

Want to get the ball and launch a quick counterattack?
You have to ask him if he agrees first!

Luke Shaw frequently provided assists on the left and delivered accurate crosses, creating wave after wave of threats in front of the Crystal Palace goal.

In the first half, he first assisted Ibrahimovic to head the ball and broke through the defense of Crystal Palace goalkeeper Hennessey.

Afterwards, Ling Feng scored another goal with a world-class kick from thirty meters away!
In the second half, Luke Shaw once again made a fatal cross, which caused the opponent to clear the ball not far away. Ling Feng on the penalty area line stopped the ball with his chest and volleyed it directly into the goal, expanding the score advantage to three goals!
In the end, Manchester United beat Crystal Palace 3-0 at home and won a terrifying seventh consecutive victory!

The first two months of the Premier League are destined to belong to the Red Devils Manchester United!

Manchester United have played twelve games in all competitions so far.

This includes one Community Shield, one European Super Cup, seven Premier League games, two Champions League group matches and one League Cup.

The team's record is an astonishing twelve-game winning streak!
Mourinho's team scored a terrifying 36 goals in 12 games and conceded only four goals!
Such terrifying offensive and defensive data are even more ferocious than last season.

This could not help but make the media and fans exclaim:
"The madman who swept the Premier League back then is back!"

The hot form of top star and team captain Ling Feng is also the key to the Red Devils' 12 consecutive victories in all competitions!
Made one appearance in the Community Shield, scoring one goal and making two assists;
Played once in the Super European Cup and contributed two assists;

In seven Premier League appearances, he contributed 16 goals and 6 assists;

Made two appearances in the Champions League, scoring two goals and providing two assists;
He made eleven appearances in all competitions, contributing nineteen goals and twelve assists!

If the six goals scored in the two World Cup qualifiers are added, Ling Feng has scored an astonishing 25 goals in less than two months!
Thirteen games, twenty-five goals, almost reaching an average of two goals per game.

If Ling Feng continues with this goal-scoring efficiency, it won't be difficult for him to break Messi's annual goal record!
In the two World Cup qualifiers in early October, even though Ling Feng was rested in the match against Slovenia, he still played half of the match against Lithuania and scored a hat trick in just 30 minutes!

At this point, Ling Feng's total number of goals for the club and the national team so far has officially exceeded the 60-goal mark!

He also officially became the first post-90s player to be included in the list of goal scoring records in the new century!
In front of him are Cristiano Ronaldo who scored 69 goals and Messi who scored 91 goals!

Of course, this is far from Ling Feng's limit.

Because he still has three months to continue to increase his number of goals this year!
However, the feat of scoring 60 goals in the year also made Ling Feng's name explode in the entire English football world and even the world football world.

He once again appeared on the covers of various newspapers and magazines, and became a hot topic on social media networks:
"He deserves a Ballon d'Or!"

"The best midfielder in the world!"

You know, only three people have been able to score 60 goals in a year since the new century:
The two greatest players, Messi and Ronaldo, as well as Ling Feng!
What's more, Ling Feng is a midfielder!
From being the assist king of the top five leagues who focuses on assists, to breaking the Premier League goal record with the Premier League and Champions League double golden boots, to now being the third player in the new century to break the 60-goal mark
Ling Feng's progress is obvious to all.

So everyone started to think about a question:
That is, what is the limit of this young man? !
. . .

Just as Ling Feng's 60 goals in the year sparked heated discussions across the Internet, and he won both the Premier League Manager of the Month and Player of the Month awards, Mourinho and Ling Feng's Manchester United finally faced a somewhat difficult opponent.

That is Liverpool, the Premier League giant that is part of the BIG6 along with Manchester United!

This is also the annual Manchester derby, the focus of the Premier League!

In the last round of the league, Manchester United beat Crystal Palace 3-0 at home.

However, Liverpool was tied by Newcastle away from home.

The status of the two sides is in sharp contrast.

It is worth mentioning that on the eve of the game, Manchester Evening News also listed the current team statistics of both sides.

What makes people feel most directly the terrifying offensive firepower of Manchester United this season is the number of goals scored by Manchester United!
Twenty-eight goals in seven games!

Four goals per game!

The number of Premier League goals scored by the team's top scorer Ling Feng alone is equivalent to the total number of Premier League goals scored by the entire Liverpool team!

Liverpool's top scorer is Egyptian winger Salah, who scored four goals.

In comparison, Ling Feng's goal efficiency is four times that of his!
Even at Anfield, where you will never walk alone, facing the fierce attack of Manchester United, can Liverpool stop the winning streak of Manchester United, the "Premier League Big Devil"?

Or will it be crushed?

Many people believe that this is an extremely difficult test for Liverpool!
