Chapter 518: Half-time victory! League -goal club!
With the away victory over Leicester City, Manchester United's winning streak in the Premier League has reached a terrifying 18 consecutive wins!

Just one victory or a draw away, this Manchester United team that was on fire in 2017 will be able to achieve the great achievement of being unbeaten in the first half of the season!

Looking back at the history of the Premier League, only two teams have ever gone unbeaten at the first half of the season.

In the 2003-04 season, Arsenal was the first team to remain unbeaten at the halfway point of the Premier League.

At that time, the Gunners led by Wenger achieved an impressive record of 13 wins and 6 draws after rounds of the league.

In the end, that season Arsenal created the only myth in Premier League history of winning the league title unbeaten!

Their final record was 26 wins and 12 draws.

The second is Manchester United in the 2010-11 season.

Although the performance was somewhat up and down at the beginning of that season.

But in the end, Ferguson led the team to remain unbeaten in the first half of the season, achieving a record of 11 wins and 8 draws.

At the end of the season, Manchester United won the championship with a record of 23 wins, 11 draws and 4 losses, beating Chelsea by 9 points.

But the record of winning all the games in the first half of the season has never appeared in the history of the Premier League!

If they can win one more game, Manchester United will unlock this new achievement!
In the past two Premier League seasons, the teams that remained unbeaten at the first half became the eventual champions of that season.

Can Manchester United continue this record this season?
Now it seems very likely.

With one game less, they are two points ahead of second-placed Manchester City, and their lead could reach five points.

Say no more, say less.

However, the most crucial stage for the Premier League title race is not the first half of the season, but the second half!
In the second half, Manchester United, who want to try to defend the Champions League title, will inevitably be distracted by the Champions League.

By then, the team will be faced with a situation of fighting on two fronts, and the league must also rotate its lineup.

What's more, Manchester United, known as the "Big Devil of the Premier League", is not completely without flaws.

With the absence of the main central defender Bailly, the team's defensive system is not in good sync and
This is also one of the reasons why we have not been able to keep a clean sheet in recent games.

The good news is that Ibrahimovic, who had been absent from the game for two months, has been able to return to the team.

The team's options on the front line are not so limited.
While being invincible on the court, Ling Feng was also doing very well off the court.

After winning the Ballon d'Or and breaking Messi's annual goal record, the sales of Ling Feng's personal brand hit new highs for several consecutive months, and almost every style was sold out!

Not only that, major high-end brands have extended olive branches to him, trying to recruit the new Ballon d'Or winner with high prices.

During Christmas, Ling Feng also brought his girlfriend home to celebrate Christmas together for the first time.

However, Ling's father and mother had already regarded Barbara as their daughter-in-law.

Accompanied by his family and girlfriend, Ling Feng also spent a very warm Christmas Eve.
On the next day, Boxing Day, the Premier League ushered in the 20th round of competition.

One of the most anticipated matches is the Red Devils Manchester United playing against the "Red Wine Army" Burnley at home!

Burnley's performance this season can be said to be exceptionally eye-catching!
Not only did they unexpectedly defeat Chelsea away in the first round, but they also drew with giants such as Liverpool and Tottenham.

Solid defense is their biggest weapon.

Under Sean Dyche's coaching and development, the team has produced outstanding players such as Pope, Ben Mill and Tarkovsky.

Before the start of the 20th round of the league, Burnley ranked third in the league in terms of goals conceded, second only to the two Manchester City giants!

Moreover, their simple and rough English style of play also allowed the team to seize limited opportunities in set-piece attacks.

If they continue like this, Burnley may set a new record in the Premier League ranking at the end of the season!

Of course, the duel between the league's big devil and the outstanding relegation team is not the reason why this game has attracted so much attention.

There is only one reason why Old Trafford was packed and the FA scheduled it during prime time:
Manchester United’s top star Ling Feng!

Because, after defeating his old club Leicester City in the last round, Ling Feng not only increased his annual goal tally to 95 goals, but also increased his Premier League goal tally to 39 goals!
In other words, as long as he scores a goal in the game against Burnley, Ling Feng will become the first player to score 40 goals or more in a single season since the establishment of the Premier League!
Among the five major leagues, except for the defensive Serie A and the fiercely competitive Premier League, players in La Liga, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 have scored more than 40 goals in a single season.

The French Ligue 44 single-season goal record is 1970 goals, set by Marseille's Scobral in the 71- season.

The Bundesliga single-season goal record is 40 goals, set by Bayern legendary striker Gerd Muller in the 1971-72 season.

The La Liga single-season goal record is 50 goals, set by Barcelona superstar Messi in the 2011-12 season!
It is worth mentioning that Ronaldo scored 2014 goals in the 15-48 season, just 2 goals away from the record.

You know, over the years, Messi and Ronaldo have made great progress together, increasing their league goal tally to more than 40!

Apart from the two superstars, the only player in football who can score 15 goals or more in a single league season is Suarez in the 16- season.

If Ling Feng can score a goal at Old Trafford tonight and break this record, the entire Premier League and even all Premier League fans will feel proud.

As the world's number one league, we finally have a superstar who can score 40 goals in a single season!

In this way, the next time they confront La Liga fans online, they will be able to refute them when the other side uses the trump card of "Messi and Ronaldo's goals":

Tsk, it’s not just you in La Liga who have guys who score 40 goals, we have them too!
Before the game, the media also focused on reporting this match and used the term "record night" to describe it many times.

And Ling Feng did not disappoint everyone!

Even though Burnley's defensive formation was very tight, all players retreated to their own half.

Moreover, each of them is fearless and brave, and they provide timely assistance and fill in the gaps.

But, it still couldn't stop Ling Feng from scoring goals!
In the 17th minute of the game, Ling Feng got the ball in the middle, passed the Burnley striker who was rushing over with a fried meatball, then knocked the ball with his left heel, passed another person, and shot directly with his right foot!
With a loud bang, the ball shot out, making a violent sound of breaking wind, drawing a vague trajectory in the air, and suddenly fell down!

"Elevator Ball!?"

Burnley goalkeeper Pope thought the ball would fly over the crossbar, but when he realized that the ball would fall and even hit the goal, it was too late.

With a swish, the ball flew into the goal between the crossbar and Pope's fingers!

The next second, the white net was hit hard, causing waves.

At the same time, the entire Old Trafford stadium suddenly erupted in cheers that resounded through the sky.

After scoring the goal, Ling Feng stood still, put his hands behind his ears, and listened to the cheers from the audience with enjoyment on his face.

"biuuuuu special~~~"

"Every time I see Ling Feng's powerful shot, the only words left in my mind are the aesthetics of violence!"

"Ling Feng scored his 40th goal of the Premier League this season with a brilliant long shot!" "He also officially broke through the 40 mark, becoming the first player in Premier League history to score 40 goals in a single season!"

After some praise, the commentator also got the relevant data of this goal:
"Unthinkable!"

"I just got the statistics. The super long shot that Ling Feng just scored was 165 meters away from the goal, and the maximum speed reached an astonishing kilometers per hour!"

"Even the world's best goalkeeper Buffon would find it difficult to save a ball like this"

At this time, the live camera was also aimed at a home team fan in the main stand who had his entire face painted red.

He was holding a cute doll of Ling Feng holding the Golden Globe Award.

When this lovely male fan found himself appearing on the big screen of the stadium, he immediately waved at the camera ecstatically, then grabbed the doll of Ling Feng and kissed it a few times to express his love for Ling Feng.

Of course, it’s not just the Red Devils fans who love Ling Feng so much.

Fans throughout the Premier League and even England have greatly favored Ling Feng for defeating Melo to win this year's Ballon d'Or.

You know, Ling Feng is the Ballon d'Or winner cultivated by the Premier League itself!
And it’s the household registration book of the country!
If you don't support him, who should you support?!
With Ling Feng breaking the deadlock on the field, Manchester United took the situation more firmly under their control.

Especially Ling Feng, his movement speed is always one beat faster than all the players on the field.

Coupled with his explosive physical fitness, opponents can't tackle him even if they want to, and can't pull him down even if they want to!
Even in front of Burnley's dense bus, Ling Feng was like a dancer on the green field who was in his element, appearing in every empty space and handling the ball calmly!
In the 27th minute of the game, Ling Feng made a series of wall passes with Ibrahimovic who had returned from injury in the midfield and reached the front of the penalty area.

Facing the Burnley defender who was treating him as a formidable enemy, Ling Feng swung his leg as if he was about to shoot.

Just when everyone thought he was going to shoot, he faked a shot and actually passed the ball to Ibrahimovic who was unguarded on the left side.

The latter stopped with his left foot, pushed with his right foot, and sent the ball into the near corner of the goal!
The Burnley goalkeeper thought he would shoot into the far corner, but he just stood there and watched the ball go into the net.

Two to zero!
"Zlatan!!!"

"This was the first game after returning from injury and Ibrahimovic scored a goal!"

"Ling Feng had already finished shooting, but he very selflessly passed the ball to his teammates."

"As expected of a captain!"

Ibrahimovic, who scored the goal, was not excited at all. He just smiled, raised his hand and pointed at Ling Feng, then high-fived him to celebrate.

Instead, Ling Feng was more excited.

"Hey man, you're finally back!"

“You have no idea how I have been spending these past two months.”

Looking at Ling Feng who was more excited than himself, Ibrahimovic was a little confused.

However, he would never have thought that Ling Feng was about to be driven into despair by Kaku's weird operation!

The distance between Kaku and Ibrahimovic is still short of Inzaghi.

There were some very simple one-on-one shots that he just couldn't score.

Either it slips out of the goal or hits the goalkeeper.

If it was Kaku who scored the goal, he might not have reacted.

Or maybe he reacted quickly, stopped the ball, and then shot it hard at the goalkeeper!
Just as Ling Feng was complaining to Ibrahimovic about a certain idiot who was spitting out balls crazily, Kaku, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly sneezed!
A sneeze!

"what's the situation?"

"Is someone secretly scolding me? Or is there a beautiful woman thinking about me?"

Tilting his head and thinking about it, Kaku felt that it should be the latter.

"When I get home later, I have to check my private messages to see if any of the girls have replied to me."

"hey-hey."

After Ibrahimovic expanded the score, Ling Feng once again received a cross from Rashford before the end of the first half, and scored his second goal.

Entering the second half, Burnley seemed to have realized that the score was 3-0 and they couldn't defend it, so they might as well try to attack and steal a goal.

So, they actually started to press forward and attack!

It is precisely because of this very wrong strategy that Burnley has fallen into an irretrievable situation!
As the formation was slightly pressed forward, Burnley's backcourt space became larger, which was more conducive to Manchester United's offense.

Only eight minutes into the second half, Ling Feng broke through the middle with the ball, passed two people, and scored with a low shot!

hat trick!

This isn't over yet!

In the next 57th minute, he dribbled the ball on the right, cut inside horizontally into Burnley's encirclement, then opened the angle and shot into the far post with his left foot!

Just like that, he scored from both sides, and in less than an hour, he stabbed Burnley four times, completing the second hat trick of his Premier League career!
As the score reached 5-0, the mentality of the defeated Burnley players began to change and their actions became more brutal.

Seeing Ling Feng being knocked down by the opponent twice in a row without even touching the ball, Mourinho quickly replaced him and Ibrahimovic who had just returned from injury.

In the end, the final score was five to zero!
Burnley, who had conceded only 15 goals in 19 rounds, conceded five goals in one game!
The Red Devils Manchester United achieved an unprecedented half-season victory with a terrifying record of 19 wins in 19 games!

This has set a new record that has never been seen before and will never be repeated!

However, Manchester United in 2017 has broken too many records.

Even the Red Devils fans have become a little numb to the team's victory after victory.

We are the great six-time champion Manchester United!

It's normal to keep winning and breaking records.

When they start losing, that will be big news!

Of course, everyone knows that the reason why Manchester United is invincible is closely related to the explosive performance of the team's top star and captain Ling Feng.

With a goal-scoring 40-goal victory over the visiting Burnley team, Ling Feng officially entered the 40-goal club in the football league, standing on equal footing with the three best scorers in the world, Messi, Ronaldo and Suarez!

So far, the new Ballon d'Or winner has scored an astonishing 2017 goals in 99!
And he has one last game left in 2017:
That is the 2017st round of the Premier League against the "Saints" Southampton at Old Trafford on December 12, 30!
Can Ling Feng break the football record and become the first football player to score 100 goals?
The answer will be revealed in this game!
