The first time, the second time.
Chapter 47 Want to learn? I’ll teach you
After defeating Watford twice at home, Leicester City players only rested for three days before welcoming the 27th round of the make-up match.
Home game against Middlesbrough!
Considering the players’ physical strength, Pearson made a bold full rotation in this game.
Except for Ling Feng and goalkeeper Schmeichel, the other nine players were all replaced by substitutes!
Under normal circumstances, unless the goalkeeper is injured or rotated in the cup competition, the goalkeeper position will not be easily changed.
And Ling Feng’s position cannot be moved casually.
In Pearson’s view, Ling Feng is the source of the team’s creativity.
As long as he is on the court, even if he is just walking, he can create threats at any time!
This is Pearson’s trust in Ling Feng, and it is also the key point of his diamond midfield 4231 tactical system that emphasizes control!
In fact, when the club signed a new contract with Ling Feng, Mendes specially added a clause on playing time in the contract.
It stipulates that Ling Feng must start in 60% of the games each season.
Mendes’s operation was intended to ensure Ling Feng’s playing time so that he can grow up quickly at this age of rapid growth.
However, he didn’t know.
Even without this clause, Pearson would have liked to put Ling Feng in the starting lineup in every game!
Because, with Ling Feng’s passing skills, his importance to the entire team’s offense is irreplaceable!
What’s more, compared with other players who have played for half a season, Ling Feng, who only started to play for the first team in January, is still pretty good in terms of physical reserves.
Of course, Pearson didn’t dare to force Ling Feng to death.
After all, Ling Feng is only 18 years old. Playing too many high-intensity games at such a young age will only overdraw the player’s sports life in advance.
Arsenal’s young stars such as Wilshere, Ramsey, Walcott, etc., played the high-intensity and fast-paced games of the Premier League too early, which led to continuous injuries later.
You know, Ling Feng is not only his baby, but also the future of the entire club!
Of course he has to use him sparingly!
Therefore, after leading Middlesbrough by two goals at home, Pearson did not hesitate to replace Ling Feng in the 70th minute.
“Leicester City is preparing to make a substitution on the sidelines.”
“Pearson replaced No. 23 Ling Feng with veteran Taylor Fletcher.”
“The performance of this young man tonight is as good as ever.”
“This is his sixth consecutive league game with assists. He has set a new record for English Championship players!”
Seeing the substitution card on the sidelines showing his number, Ling Feng walked towards the sidelines.
At this time, the King Power Stadium immediately sent off Ling Feng, the hero of the team, with warm applause.
The applause and cheers echoing in his ears made Ling Feng’s heart ripple.
This feeling of being called by name is really fascinating.
While he was intoxicated, he did not forget to wave to the stands with a smile, responding to the support and applause of the fans.
When he came to the sidelines and just shook hands with Fletcher, Pearson came up to him.
He hugged Ling Feng’s neck and gave him a hug, and whispered to comfort his proud disciple who did not play the whole game:
“Boy, you did a good job! Now I need you to rest well and prepare for the next game!”
“Got it, coach.”
Back to the bench, Ling Feng took the black down jacket handed over by the team coach and put it on.
After high-fiving his teammates on the bench, he finally sat down next to Mahrez.
“Ling, I noticed that you can know the position of your teammates without looking up before passing the ball. It’s incredible! How did you do it?”
Because I have a cheat.
Although he thought so in his heart, Ling Feng said the classic lines of Stephen Chow:
“Want to learn? I’ll teach you!”
Upon hearing this, Mahrez was stunned at first, and then showed a look of great surprise:
“Really?!”
“Of course! But in exchange, you have to teach me how to dribble and stop the ball!”
Before rebirth, Ling Feng was very impressed by Mahrez when watching the Premier League.
There is no other reason. This world-class winger from Africa is not only outstanding in strength, but also very interesting.
He has nicknames such as Winter Limited King of Football, Ma Dongmei, and World No. 1 Stop.
The first two are
Because every winter, Mahrez, wearing gloves, becomes a super-powerful existence like Messi.
Hence, he is named “Winter Limited King of Football” and “Ma Dongmei”
And “World’s No. 1 Stopper” is a compliment to his ball-stopping skills.
According to an interview within the Manchester City team, Mahrez is recognized as the best stopper among many world-class stars in the team.
Therefore, fans jokingly call Mahrez the world’s No. 1 stopper!
And Mahrez’s ball-stopping is absolutely world-class.
Although Mahrez is new to England at this time, he has not experienced the miraculous period of the Blue Foxes and has not received the guidance of Guardiola.
However, the amazing ball-stopping skills are just beginning to show their prowess.
Ling Feng speculated that Mahrez’s [Ball-stopping] attribute is at least above 90!
Therefore, Ling Feng wondered if Mahrez could guide him, would his [Ball-stopping] attribute increase rapidly?
After all, the growth rate of training by oneself and with the guidance of a mentor is very different.
Facing Ling Feng’s one-for-two deal, Mahrez didn’t feel at a disadvantage at all, but felt it was very reasonable:
“Okay! You teach me to pass the ball like you do, and I’ll teach you how to dribble and stop the ball?”
“Deal!”
As soon as the words fell, the two stretched out their hands and shook them tightly!
. . .
Just as Ling Feng and Mahrez reached an unspeakable “deal” on the bench, the game on the field was also decided.
The score of 2-0 remained until the end of the game.
And Ling Feng, who made an assist in the game and helped the team control the midfield, became the best player of the game again!
This is the fifth time he has won the best player of the game award!
Except for the 25th round of the league when he came on as a substitute and did not win the best player of the game, he won the best player of the game in the next five league games!
Winning the best player of the game five times in total also allowed Ling Feng to complete an achievement and get a free attribute point reward.
As the tactical core of the team, Ling Feng’s outstanding performance means that the team’s performance will not be bad.
Just after defeating Middlesbrough, Leicester City achieved a milestone of ten consecutive league wins, tying Reading’s record of ten consecutive wins in the 0506 season.
In other words, as long as they win one more game, they can surpass Reading and become the team with the most consecutive league wins in a single season in the history of the English Championship!
This is also the question Ling Feng was asked when he was interviewed by reporters:
“Ling, as long as you win the next game against Nottingham Forest, you can create a new record for consecutive wins in the English Championship. What do you think about this?”
Facing the camera, Ling Feng thought for a while, and then answered calmly:
“I just want to say that no matter what the record or data is, we will focus on winning every game!”
