Chapter 59 Hero One AirmasterAsk for a ticket! 】

Even though he was an opponent, Ling Feng, who saw his "acquaintance", was the first to show a bright smile.

Facing Ling Feng's smile, Maguire was confused.

Does this guy know me?

Why are you smiling at me?
And he smiled so brightly and so brightly?

Or is it because he thinks I'm easy to bully and that's why he smiles at me?

For a while, Maguire's mind was full of thoughts.

However, before he could react, Ling Feng had already withdrew his gaze.

This makes Maguire even more inexplicable.

"Is it my illusion?"

After temporarily suppressing the doubts and confusion in his heart, Maguire followed the team slowly into the King Power Stadium.

"Welcome to watch the quarter-finals of the 13-14 English FA Cup. The home team Leicester City will face the visiting Sheffield United."

"We're bringing you live commentary from the King Power Stadium."

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides first."

It can be said without mercy that Harry Maguire is the best player in this Sheffield United team.

As a youth player of Sheffield United, he has gradually become an indispensable backbone of Sheffield United's defense since he was promoted to the first team in 2011.

This season, Sheffield United are in average form in the league.

After 34 rounds of the league, it is only ranked No. 11, and there is a certain point gap between direct promotion seats.

But in the FA Cup, "Blade" is in a hot state.

They first eliminated the Premier League team Aston Villa in the third round, and eliminated the Premier League team Fulham again through penalty kicks after two draws in the fourth round, and easily won the English Championship team Nottingham Forest in the fifth round
With their amazing performance in successively knocking out Premier League and Championship teams, Sheffield United can be called the biggest dark horse in the FA Cup this season!
And Maguire is the absolute hero for this Sheffield United team to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

With a worth of 150 million euros, he also ranks first in the team.

That's why Pearson emphasized on this point.

Apart from Maguire, there are really not many players in the Sheffield United team who pose a threat to Leicester City.
. . .

beep~~~
With the whistle of the referee, this contest between dark horses and dark horses officially began!
Due to the strength gap and the away game, Sheffield United adopted a 451 defensive counterattack strategy very pragmatically from the beginning.

This is also the main tactic they use in League One.

Under the leadership of Maguire, the dominant player in League One, Sheffield United's defense is very good.

The number of goals conceded in the league ranks fifth from the bottom, second only to the top four teams in the league!
However, no matter how good the defense is, it is all in vain if the forwards do not score goals.

It is no coincidence.

Sheffield United's league goals are also ranked fifth from the bottom, only slightly better than the bottom teams.

This is enough to prove that this Sheffield United is a team with strong defense and weak offense.

Therefore, from the first second of the game, Leicester City took control of the situation on the field and pressed Sheffield into frantic friction in the half.

However, due to retreating to their own half, Sheffield United compressed the space so narrowly that Leicester City could not penetrate through short passes.

The center was too crowded, so Ling Feng had to try to pass the ball to the two wingers, allowing the two wingers to use their personal abilities to break through and create threats.

It is precisely because of the tactical consideration of the need to open the situation from the wing that Konokite, who has better skills at his feet, replaced Nugent as the starting left winger.

And he also strictly followed the tactical instructions, constantly taking the ball and dribbling on the left wing to make breakthroughs.

In fact, Conokite was also suffocating.

In his opinion, after he missed the key penalty kick to advance to the playoffs more than half a year ago, he has been working hard in training and playing, trying to get out of the negative impact of that penalty kick.

And this diligent attitude has also been recognized by the head coach.

In the first half of the season, he was still the team's unbeatable main right winger.

However, after Ling Feng was promoted to the first team and Mahrez was transferred, everything changed!
He suddenly became a victim of a tactical change, from the starting right winger to a substitute who could only be left and right.

Conoket was certainly not happy either.

However, without him, the team's record became better, and a wave of winning streak came directly.

As a member of the team, he is both happy and a little disappointed.

Therefore, with a limited chance to start, he hopes to use his performance to prove to the club and the head coach that at least in his best dribbling, he is better than Ling Feng!
And just under his frequent breakthroughs, Sheffield United's right flank was frequently opened up.

After breaking through to create space, Konokite did not hit a high ball pass, but swept to the middle with his left foot.

Several low passes created chaos in the penalty area.

If Vardy hadn't been double-teamed by two tall central defenders of Sheffield United, he almost grabbed the front spot and formed a shot.

Even so, he did not forget to give Konokite a thumbs up:
"nice shot!"

In desperation, the midfielder who came to help defend could only stop him by fouling.

"Beautiful!"

"Oh, Conoket was pulled down!"

"This is undoubtedly a foul!"

In the 17th minute of the game, Leicester City got a set kick opportunity on the left near the sideline.

After looking at his position in the penalty area, Ling Feng deliberately passed a curve ball into the crowd, hoping to create chaos.

If Maguire headed the ball into his own goal, he would not be surprised at all.

However, the moment the ball flew into the penalty area, a red and white figure suddenly jumped up, and with that big head, pushed the ball firmly out of the danger zone with a bang.

Dingqing saw that it was Maguire who grabbed the first point!

Damn it, so awesome? !
In the next 10 minutes, whether it was a cross from the wing or an arc pass from a set kick, as long as the high ball passed into the Sheffield United penalty area, it was immediately destroyed by Maguire.

Even the narrator couldn't help but exclaim:

"Maguire rules the sky tonight!"

However, soccer is a team sport.

Even a god cannot lead ten pig teammates.

What's more, it's a baby version of an aircraft carrier?

The high ball can't pass your Maguire's big head, can't I pass the ball through the ground? !

As a result, Ling Feng began to pass some scalpel-like short through balls frequently, allowing Vardy to get behind the central defender.

Vardy sprinted down several times, and Maguire's shortcomings of being bulky and slow to turn and chase were fully exposed.

In the 40th minute of the game, Ling Feng, who came to the front of the penalty area, once again kicked a secret through ball into the penalty area.

And Vardy, who was tightly pressed by Maguire, turned around and inserted.

Maguire turned around a little slowly, and didn't dare to reach out to pull.

Another central defender came to help defend, but his feet moved a little too much and touched Vardy's knee.

With a scream, the latter fell down.

The next second, the referee blew his whistle with a decisive "beep" and pointed to the penalty spot!
