The first time, the second time.

Chapter 9 The traffic code of the British media

“Beep!”

Accompanied by the long whistle of the head coach, the 45-minute confrontation ended quickly.

The final score was 2-2, and the A team, which started all the players, was tied by the B team, which was slightly inferior in strength!

In just 45 minutes, Ling Feng’s excellent performance in the midfield conquered the coaches and teammates of the first team.

On the defensive end, although he was easily broken through by the midfielders and forwards of the A team many times, he also stood in the defensive position in advance through excellent prediction and intercepted the opponent’s pass several times.

On the offensive end, he connected the entire B team into a relative whole by his own strength, and firmly controlled the offensive rhythm in his own hands.

And with a broad vision and active running, he created gaps and sent many threatening passes.

Every attack, as long as he participated, was as smooth as flowing water.

If the substitute striker’s ability to seize opportunities was not much worse than that of the starting striker, the score of this competition would definitely be more than this.

It is worth mentioning that after the competition, other first-team teammates couldn’t help but come forward and high-five Ling Feng:

“Ling, you played well!”

“Man, your pass is great!”

Faced with the praise and compliments of his teammates, Ling Feng did not show any pride, but just smiled back and high-fived them.

His steady expression did not look like a rookie who had just been promoted to the first team.

His outstanding performance on the field and his humble attitude off the field made other teammates feel good.

“This kid is pretty good.”

In this way, Ling Feng’s first training session in the first team was over.

After returning to the room, taking a hot shower and changing clothes, Ling Feng came to the base restaurant.

Just after receiving a chicken breast and kale salad from the chef, he heard a shout from behind:

“Ling, here!”

Looking at the sound, he saw Mahrez sitting at a table next to the French window, waving at him.

Raising his eyebrows, Ling Feng did not refuse Mahrez’s invitation, so he came to the table and pulled out a chair and sat down generously.

“Hey, Riad.”

Just transferred from the French Ligue 2, the 22-year-old Mahrez is a young man who left his hometown and came to the English football world.

Therefore, he hopes to communicate more with his teammates and integrate into the Leicester City group as soon as possible.

And Ling Feng, who took the initiative to talk to him on the eve of the last game, is a very good choice in his opinion.

And Ling Feng is also very happy to make friends with Mahrez.

Although Ling Feng does not speak French, Mahrez’s English is also very poor.

However, the two can still communicate normally through simple English words and gestures.

Just as the two were talking about adding contact information, captain Wes Morgan came to them with a mobile phone and asked Ling Feng:

“Guys, I need your numbers to add you to the team’s group chat.”

“Oh, okay. My number is”

After adding Ling Feng and Mahrez to the team’s group chat, Morgan did not forget to care about Mahrez, who had just transferred, and how he adapted to the new life in the UK.

Mahrez’s dribbling and passing on the court were eye-catching.

Morgan is very sure that Mahrez will become an indispensable and important player for Leicester City.

For the team’s performance and future, as the captain, he should also help the newly transferred Mahrez integrate into the team as soon as possible.

This is the responsibility of a team captain!

After the captain Morgan left, the team’s striker, the future “Blue Fox Soul” Vardy, also came to the two-person table with a salad:

“Hey, guys, do you mind if I sit here?”

Hearing this, Ling Feng just shrugged and then pulled out a chair next to him, “Of course!”

Last season, Vardy, who had just set a record for the transfer fee of a non-professional player, came to Leicester City.

However, perhaps it was a problem of adaptation. He played 26 times in his first Championship season, but only scored four goals.

In the second season, which is this year, after adapting to the intensity of the Championship game and the defenders, his number of goals began to soar.

In the first half alone, he had already scored eight goals!

Doubled!

And the double striker formed by him and Nugent became the two sharp blades for Leicester City to attack the city.

However, for those with big dreams,

For Vardy, he wants to score more goals!

Therefore, after seeing Ling Feng’s superior vision and passing, and tasting the sweetness in the FA Cup, Vardy knew very well that if he wanted to score more goals and surpass another main striker Nugent, he could only count on this 18-year-old genius who had just been promoted to the first team!

If the relationship is good, Ling Feng will be able to pass the ball to him more in the game.

Then his chance of scoring a goal will be even greater.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a good relationship with Ling Feng!

As for Vardy’s goodwill, Ling Feng did not show it on the surface, but his heart had already been rippled.

He was a little flattered.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Ling Feng was relieved.

With super vision and passing, he can be said to be a bankrupt version of De Bruyne.

Even though he is far from the peak De Bruyne, he can be called a master of cake making at the level of the English Championship.

Any striker would like to have such a master of cake making behind him, who can deliver delicious and fragrant cakes to his mouth!

Therefore, it is normal for Vardy to want to have a good relationship with himself.

The world of sports competition is so realistic.

The strong will always be respected!

After a short break in the restaurant, the first-team team came to the gym for strength training.

However, except Ling Feng and Mahrez.

According to the instructions of the head coach, the two do not need to receive strength training for the time being, but follow the tactical coach to the team video room.

This is to allow the two to adapt to the tactical play of the first team as soon as possible.

In the next few days, Ling Feng participated in the training step by step, and soon became one with the teammates of the first team.

After the daily training session, he and Mahrez would go to the video room together, and then, under the explanation of the tactical coach, watch the game video to deeply understand the tactical play of the first team.

For example, how to run on the field, how to organize and support in the front court, how to conduct offensive routines, etc.

Although the memory of the predecessor has been integrated, there is a certain understanding of the basic tactics and knowledge of football.

However, the tactical complexity of the youth team and the first team is not at the same level at all.

After the tactical course, Ling Feng, who returned to the player’s dormitory, had to take out the densely written notebook to review it.

Even if you have a plug-in, if you want to become stronger, you also need to make corresponding efforts!

. . .

Just as Ling Feng was quietly leveling up at the Belvoir base, the upset of the FA Cup began to ferment, which also brought Ling Feng a lot of media attention.

The FA Cup, which has a history of over a hundred years, has always been a hotbed for “unpopularity”.

In this historic cup competition, in addition to the countless classic battles dedicated by various giants, many low-level league teams also shine on this stage.

They have played the role of “giant killer” many times, knocking down many top giants.

These examples of the weak defeating the strong fully prove to the world the charm of football.

It is not the first time in the history of the FA Cup that a Championship team defeated a Premier League team.

Compared with the super upset of the Premier League team Wigan Athletic being eliminated by the English League Two team Swindon in the FA Cup two years ago, Leicester City’s reversal and elimination of Stoke City is not too surprising.

However, this game is particularly different because of a player.

Because the one who led Leicester City to reverse the game was an 18-year-old young player who suddenly emerged!

After all the third round of the FA Cup was over, newspapers such as the Daily Mail, the Times, the Mirror, and the Guardian all mentioned this small upset in the sports pages.

There is no other reason. The British media has always liked to dig out and praise young talents who suddenly emerged.

Beckham, Rooney, Owen.

For them, this is the traffic code for them to increase sales!
