Chapter 8 Confrontation within the team, the style of a master [Please read on!Ask for a ticket! 】

Although it is the winter transfer window, the transfer operations and reinforcements of major clubs are in full swing.

However, Leicester City's top management and head coach are very satisfied with the team's current structure and staffing.

Apart from selling a fringe midfielder who had no playing time in the team and then moving Ling Feng from the youth team to the first team, Leicester City did not make any transfer moves.

The number of the entire first team is exactly 26 people.

Putting on the monitoring black vest and changing into long training clothes, Ling Feng followed everyone to the training ground.

Under the arrangement of the head coach, everyone first had a physical training class to warm up.

While closely watching Ling Feng's every move, the head coach Pearson and assistant coach Walsh standing on the sidelines whispered:

"His explosiveness and speed are not bad, his size is okay, but his confrontation ability is worrying"

"Good stamina, if you put him in the midfield, he can make a certain defensive contribution"

"The basic skills are solid, as long as he is given enough time, he should be able to quickly adapt to the rhythm of the British Championship."

After the physical training session, there is a series of technical and tactical training.

During these training sessions, Ling Feng's strengths and weaknesses were fully exposed to the eyes of his teammates and coaches.

The first is the advantages.

In terms of passing skills, he is more than one grade higher than all the first-team players present!
The various ways of passing the ball are dazzling.

Outside instep pass, through ball, overhead ball, 45-degree long pass
Every pass was as if measured with a ruler, frighteningly accurate.

And the strength is appropriate, making it easy and comfortable for teammates to catch the ball.

The disadvantage is that in addition to passing, other offensive skills such as stopping, dribbling, and shooting are only qualified and not too outstanding.

And the defense is passable.

In addition to being able to barely follow the offensive player without losing his position, he can also predict the opponent's passing route from time to time and intercept.

Seeing Ling Feng's performance in training, the head coach and assistant coaches did not regret the decision to transfer Ling Feng to the first team, but confirmed a very important thing:

Ling Feng's amazing pass in the FA Cup the day before yesterday was not a flash of inspiration, but a talent that can be copied infinitely!
In the world of professional football, mediocrity is the worst thing you can say about a player.

That means he has no features,
Having characteristics means that this player has outstanding talent in a certain aspect.

In the eyes of the head coach and teammates, Ling Feng has unparalleled talent in vision and passing, and has great potential to become a midfielder like Harvey, Rui Costa, Cesc Fabregas and so on.

As for other shortcomings, they can be strengthened through acquired training.

Of course, training is training, and actual combat is actual combat.

Performing well in training without confrontation may not necessarily perform at 100% in actual combat.

Thinking of this, head coach Pearson shouted:

"Okay, guys, take a break. In 5 minutes, we have a match!"

After a short break, at the order of the head coach, the first team was divided into two teams, A and B.

After the main team puts on the orange vest, it is Team A.

Ling Feng, who had just arrived, was assigned to the B team where the substitute player was without any surprise.

The tactical formations adopted by both sides are parallel 442.

Ling Feng and Andy King sit in the midfield of Team B.

With a "beep" whistle, the Leicester City intra-squad match officially begins!
After kick-off, the stronger main team quickly took the initiative on the field.

Leicester City's 442 style of play mainly relies on the performance of two midfielders.

The two midfielders must not only organize the attack, but also intercept and defend, almost completely attacking and defending.

And "Drinking Brother" Danny Drinkwater and Marty James are both British midfielders with solid basic skills, strong confrontation, and strong running ability.

In addition, the two were teammates in Manchester United's youth training, so they have a good understanding.

With the entire team having the upper hand, Team A suppressed Team B at half court as soon as the game started.

Such a one-sided picture did not surprise the head coach.

Pearson's expression remained unchanged, his eyes just fixed on the black-haired young man on the field.

He wanted to see if Ling Feng could still perform well when the team was at a disadvantage.

You know, a talented player is one who can do things that ordinary players can't.
. . .

Running on the flat natural turf, Ling Feng immediately entered the state.

Through the vision map in his mind, he can clearly perceive the running routes of his teammates and the positions of his opponents.

He also knows where openings are imminent and where a teammate is likely to step in.
The entire stadium is under his control!
Facing Team A's attack through two midfielders, Ling Feng wisely did not choose to fight with them, but used [God Vision] to predict the opponent's running position, select positions in advance, and block the opponent's passing route .

The excellent defensive position allowed him to intercept the passes of Team A several times, thus interrupting Team A's offense.

With Ling Feng's precise interceptions several times and Andy King's running without hesitation, Team A's attack in the middle could not proceed smoothly, and they could only create opportunities through strong breakthroughs from the two wings.

But this effect is very general.

Leicester's A on the left is the 31-year-old veteran Lloyd Dell. His speed is one of the best in the team and he has a long shot.

But after the age of [-], the speed drops significantly, and the breakthrough ability also drops sharply.

Many times, the breakthrough is failed and the ball is passed back.

And Anthony Konokite on the right, in his early twenties, is not too fast.However, he is physically strong and has good skills. He has repeatedly gained the upper hand in one-on-one with the left back of Team B, and has made several threatening crosses.

"Clang" sound!
Only 1.8 meters tall, but very strong forward David Nugent won the header and smashed the football on the goal crossbar.

This was the most threatening offense of the A team since the opening 10 minutes.
The goalkeeper kicked off the ball again, and after several kicks, the football soon came to Ling Feng's feet.

Seeing Ling Feng taking the ball, the head coach Pearson on the sidelines would immediately shout:
"Forcing up!"

"Don't let him hit the ball easily!"

Hearing Pearson's arrangement beside him, the assistant coach Steve Walsh couldn't help but frowned, "Nigel, what are you doing?"

The former responded without looking back:

"You know, this is just an intra-team match for the first team. The rhythm of the English Championship and even the Premier League will only become faster and more intense. I want to see if he can still pass the ball with such accuracy when facing a press."

Hearing this, Walsh opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

He just looked at Ling Feng on the field, silently cheering him on:

"Boy, let them see your strength!"

But Ling Feng did not disappoint them!

Whenever he receives the ball from his teammates, he will pass it out immediately without giving the opponent players a chance to come up and press.

He is very clear that with his current terrible confrontation ability, the best choice is not to confront!

By kicking the ball and running into open spaces, Ling Feng adapted to the first team's game rhythm while methodically sorting out the B team's offense.

The [God's Vision] that controls the overall situation allows him to run to the neutral position to catch the ball at any time, and then get rid of the opponent's entanglement and pressing through the second-pass first-class pass method.

Whether it's a dropback to catch the ball in the backcourt, or a small-scale series support in the frontcourt, Ling Feng has shown a maturity beyond his age.

Every pass on the field is so reasonable and penetrating.

Ling Feng's superior performance caused several figures to appear in the minds of head coach Pearson and assistant coach Walsh.

For example, Barcelona’s No. 21, Juventus’ No. 14, and Real Madrid’s No. [-]
The figures of these midfield masters gradually overlapped with that of Ling Feng on the field.

With such a playmaker in his team who can pass threatening balls and control the team's rhythm, there will be absolutely no problem in offense!

Thinking of this, head coach Pearson frowned, then turned his head and said to the assistant coach seriously:
"Steve, we may need to prepare more tactics."
