Full-Level Pass, Please Call Me The Boss Of The Three Lions

The first match was held in the stadium.

Chapter 11: Premier League debut!

January 11, 2014, Saturday afternoon.

More than 20,000 Leicester City fans poured into the King Power Stadium, dyeing most of the seats in the stadium blue.

The Derby County fans who came with the visiting team huddled in a stand, shivering as the home fans sang the Foxes’ team song.

Amid the singing, the players of the two teams led the ball boys and lined up in the players’ tunnel to slowly enter the stadium.

Ling Feng, wearing a blue Foxes jacket, also entered the stadium with other substitutes.

This was his first time at Leicester City’s home ground, the King Power Stadium.

The singing of the Foxes fans made Ling Feng feel the passion of the twelve players.

Not long after he sat down on the bench, the commentator’s magnetic voice rang out in the stadium:

“Welcome to the 25th round of the English Champions League, where Leicester City plays against Derby County at home.”

“The starting eleven of the home team Leicester City has not changed from the lineup that defeated Millwall in the last round of the league. The goalkeeper is still Kasper Schmeichel.”

“As for the bench, there is a young face. The eighteen-year-old Ling Feng, who was the hero in eliminating the Premier League team Stoke City in the third round of the FA Cup, has entered the league’s roster for the first time!”

Accompanied by the commentator’s words, the broadcast camera on the sidelines was very timely aimed at Ling Feng sitting on the bench.

Seeing this, Ling Feng just smiled handsomely and sunny in the direction of the camera.

This smile, which appeared in the broadcast, melted the hearts of many female fans watching the game on TV.

Even the commentator couldn’t help but tease:

“Let’s not talk about his skills, what a handsome boy!”

“I think Leicester City coach Pearson also wants to protect his players and doesn’t want to force them. I guess this young man should come on as a substitute in the second half to feel the rhythm and intensity of the Championship.”

“Yes, I agree with you. Putting an 18-year-old young man with no league experience directly into the starting lineup, perhaps only the Frenchman at Arsenal would do such a thing.”

Hearing the conversation between the two commentators, Ling Feng on the bench couldn’t help but curl his lips.

It’s no news that “Professor” Wenger likes to train young demons.

It’s also basic to promote a teenager to the first team starting lineup and then play in the Premier League.

In comparison, it seems a bit of a failure that he hasn’t become a starter for a Championship team at the age of 18.

Even so, Ling Feng is still very confident. With his vision and passing, he is fully capable of gaining a foothold in the English Championship.

Once he becomes a starter, he will never return to the bench!

Although Pearson does not have the courage of Wenger to directly use the league to help the young demons in the team level up.

But he also values ​​Ling Feng, a youth training genius who suddenly emerged.

In the home team locker room, head coach Pearson told him that if there were no accidents, he would come on as a substitute in the second half of the second half and get some time.

Being able to promise playing time to a newcomer who has just been promoted to the first team is enough to prove how much Pearson values ​​him!

When hearing the head coach say this, Ling Feng even felt the envious eyes of the other two substitute midfielders.

There is no way, who made him a good passer and handsome?

. . .

Soon, with a long whistle from the referee, the game officially began!

Having just been defeated by Wigan Athletic 1-0 at home in the last round, Derby County came to the King Power Stadium in this game. Facing the top team in recent hot form, they did not have any advantage.

Under the loud cheers of more than 20,000 fans at home, “Blue Fox, go!”, the home team Leicester City firmly controlled the situation on the field at the beginning.

Vardy and Nugent, two powerful forwards, took turns to attack Derby County’s defense.

Compared with the faster Vardy, David Nugent is stronger and has stronger confrontation ability. He is like a fish in water in the fiercely competitive Championship League.

If Vardy is a sharp knife that pierces the enemy’s heart, then Nugent is a battering ram.

In the two seasons of Leicester City, he can contribute more than a dozen league goals.

This season, he is still the top scorer of Leicester City.

He has played 23 games in the league so far and has scored 12 goals,

The ball efficiency is also ranked first in the English Championship League.

However, with Ling Feng’s wonderful cooperation with Vardy in the last game and his relationship with Vardy off the court, he felt a hidden sense of crisis.

Therefore, he planned to use active running and pressing to show the coach his value in the team.

And hard work pays off, he soon found a chance to score!

“Nugent!!!”

“Header goal! GOAL!!!”

“The score on the field has been rewritten! Leicester City, playing at home, scored first!”

Amid the deafening cheers of Leicester City fans, the first half of the game ended quickly.

Leicester City players returned to the locker room with a one-to-zero lead.

“Good job, guys!”

“We completely suppressed them.”

After praising the players’ performance in the locker room, Pearson added some details of the offensive tactics and ended the short lecture.

After the halftime break, the players from both sides returned to the court again.

Under Pearson’s command, Leicester City pressed Derby County into the half court and continued to attack.

In the 65th minute of the game, “Water Drinker” Drinkwater’s long shot in the penalty area changed the score to 2-0.

The two-goal lead made Pearson, who was standing on the sidelines, relax a lot.

He looked down at his watch, then turned around and came to the bench, waving his hand:

“Ling!”

“Mahrez!”

“You two go warm up!”

Hearing this, Ling Feng and Mahrez, who were watching the situation on the field carefully, immediately stood up.

Seeing Ling Feng coming to the sidelines to warm up, the cameraman on the sidelines immediately pointed the camera in his hand at the “Blue Fox Rising Star” touted by the media.

“Two-goal lead, Leicester City seems to be planning to make substitutions”

Ling Feng, wearing an orange vest, appeared on the big screen of the stadium, which immediately aroused applause and cheers from most Leicester City fans in the stadium.

In their eyes, Ling Feng, who came from Leicester City’s youth training, is their own child.

Feeling the fans’ encouragement and enthusiasm for him, Ling Feng also waved to the stands while warming up.

Mahrez, who was warming up with him, was very envious.

“Ling, the fans are applauding you.”

Hearing this, Ling Feng just smiled slightly and said seriously:

“Riad, I believe that with your strength, the fans will soon applaud and cheer for you!”

After that, he saw Pearson waving to the two of them, and quickly patted Mahrez on the shoulder and reminded:

“Let’s go, it’s time for us to perform!”

He came to the sidelines, took off his jacket and training pants, revealing the blue jersey inside.

“Ling, just like the FA Cup, after you go up, stand behind David (Nugent).”

“Riad, you are responsible for the right side.”

After simply arranging the tactics for the two, a dead ball appeared on the field.

“No. 23 Ling Feng and No. 26 Mahrez, get ready to play”

As the fourth official on the sidelines raised the substitution card, Ling Feng took the lead and stepped onto the smooth grass of the King Power Stadium.

In this way, Ling Feng ushered in his first appearance in the English Championship!
