Chapter 58 The Aircraft Carrier Strikes, It's Just a Baby Version

Winning the Player of the Month award in the British Championship in February proves that Ling Feng's strength has been recognized by the British Championship and the fans.

And Ling Feng's outstanding performance also attracted many new fans and more attention to Leicester City.

The day after the award, "The Times" published a special report, which gave a detailed analysis of the rising England star.

First of all, The Times took out Ling Feng’s game data and boasted:
He played nine times in the Championship, came off the bench in two games, started seven games, and contributed three goals and nine assists.

Played three times in the FA Cup, started two games as a substitute, and contributed an astonishing seven assists!
The average pass success rate per game is 90.00%, ranking first in the league!

Averaged three threatening passes per game, ranking first in the league!

The average assist efficiency per game has reached a terrifying 1.3!

And set a new record for a Championship player to provide assists in six consecutive league games!

In addition to the diverse and precise passing skills, Ling Feng also has many advantages such as strong ability to read the game, not sticking to the ball, strong desire to go forward, and erratic running without the ball.

Of course, as the newspaper with the longest history, the greatest influence and the most professional reporting in England, The Times did not blindly tout it.

After analyzing Ling Feng's many advantages, in the second half of the report, he pointed out Ling Feng's various shortcomings:
"Poor confrontation ability, easy to get lost in the high-intensity rhythm and confrontation of the Premier League."

"The dribbling skills are average. As a midfielder, his foot skills are not good. In the Premier League, where the pressing force is more fierce, his ball protection and ball control will definitely make the opponent take advantage of the weaknesses."

"The shooting ability is average. As the core of the team's midfielder, if he can improve his shooting skills and try to hit more goals, he will be more threatening."

The original intention of The Times's report was to let the public know more about Ling Feng, a young star who won the British Championship Player of the Month in less than two months after his debut and is a hot star in the British Championship.

At the same time, it also reminds Leicester City Club and Ling Feng himself not to be deceived by the excessive boasting of the media, so as to be satisfied with the status quo.

However, when Pearson saw this report, he just smiled and didn't care at all.

Because he knows that even though the media has been touting all kinds of things since his debut, Ling Feng has never stopped making progress!
As for Ling Feng who read this report, he first saw the wave of flattery in the newspaper, and felt secretly refreshed.

Then, don't forget to silently keep your shortcomings firmly in mind.

After two months of adaptation, he has been able to calmly deal with the midfielders in the British Championship.

When holding the ball behind his back, he can often get rid of him in the midfield through a one-two or pulling the ball back, and then turn to face the goal and pass the threatening ball.

Thanks to the overall strength and tactical system of Leicester City, he was able to play like a fish in water in the British Championship, playing phenomenal personal data.

Of course Ling Feng didn't think that he was invincible and had reached Melo's level.

On the contrary, he is very crisis aware.

Because, once in the Premier League, the opponents he will face are much stronger than the players in the English Championship!
If he is only complacent about what he has achieved and does not work hard to improve, he will not be able to adapt to the intensity and rhythm of the Premier League after he reaches the Premier League!

It is foreseeable that, as the core of the midfield, he will face more fierce pressing.

And his first task is to protect the ball first!

Especially when you are holding the ball behind your back, you must not let the opponent steal the ball from your feet to start a fast break!
Therefore, I must strengthen my physical confrontation ability through training as soon as possible, and add more training on stopping and protecting the ball under my feet to cope with the Premier League half a year later!
Ling Feng was very grateful for the special report on The Times. Apart from pointing out his shortcomings, it also gained him tens of thousands of followers.

So, without hesitation, he became a subscription member of The Times.

However, no one but a very few people will know that this report was planned by Mendez!

The purpose is simple.

Increase Ling Feng's fame and popularity and make him a representative of England's younger generation of players!

As an agent, he not only needs to plan careers for player clients, handle contract renewals and transfers between player clients and clubs, but also help players earn more income off the field.

After all, the more famous the player's client is, the higher the commercial endorsement fee will be, and the more commission the agent will charge.

. . .

The next day.

International Women's Day.

It's also matchday for the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Leicester City, the top team in the English Championship, will sit at home and face the League One team Sheffield United!
On the eve of the game, in the home team's locker room.

"Okay, guys, cheer up!"

"Don't think that Sheffield United is a League One team and just underestimate them!"

"If we relax, they are also capable of scoring goals!"

It is worth mentioning that Sheffield United has a player that Ling Feng is very familiar with.

"Their set-piece offense is very threatening, especially their main central defender Harry Maguire, who is 1.9 meters four and has a strong header ability"

Next to the tactical board, coach Pearson emphasized the threat of the opponent's main central defender with a serious face.

The Leicester City players listened carefully.

Except for one person.

Sitting in the corner, Ling Feng tried his best not to raise the corners of his mouth so obviously.

That's right, the player Ling Feng is very familiar with in Sheffield United is Harry Maguire, the "aircraft carrier" and "Ma Datou" who will become the captain of Manchester United, the main central defender of the national team, and one of the kings of football in the future!

Various famous scenes of Maguire emerged in his mind, and Ling Feng almost lived in Bengbu.

And at this moment, a shout woke him up from his memories:

"Ling!"

Being named suddenly, Ling Feng was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly reacted.

"Coach, what instructions do you have?"

Pearson didn't care about his distraction, he just pointed to the tactical board and said:

"When attacking, you don't play long passes over the top. Maguire has a strong frontal defense at this point, but his turning speed is slow. You can use more through balls on the ground, so that Jamie can use the speed to attack behind him. "

Hearing this, Ling Feng calmed down a little, nodded and said, "I understand."

Nodding, Pearson continued:
"From the first second of the game, we suppressed them in the half court. We tried not to foul in the midfield and did not give them opportunities to set the ball."

After emphasizing some tactical arrangements, the announcement in the locker room sounded a reminder that the game was about to end.

"Okay guys, let's take this game down!"

Leaving the locker room and entering the player tunnel, Ling Feng's gaze was immediately attracted by a person.

To be precise, he was attracted by a big head.

Wearing a red and white sword jersey, Maguire, who is tall, is standing among the players of Sheffield United.

That head, which was bigger than the others, was so dazzling like a firefly in the darkness.

As if sensing someone's crazy gaze, Maguire turned around and met Ling Feng's eyes!
