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

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 97 Ling Feng turned around and switched from defense to offense! [Two-in-one]

“Podolski”

“He did it!”

“The ball went in!”

“One to zero!”

Just less than five minutes after the start, Arsenal scored a goal against Leicester City with a beautiful pass!

After scoring the goal, Prince Polti opened his arms excitedly, rushed to the corner flag area, and slid on his knees passionately.

After getting up, he grabbed the camera next to him with both hands and roared at the camera:

“Come On!”

For Podolski, the first goal in the final was an opportunity to prove himself.

Last season, after transferring to Arsenal, Podolski played 33 times in the Premier League, scored a total of 11 goals, and contributed 9 assists, which was a very good performance.

However, due to his single characteristics and the rise of young wingers in the team, he became a main rotation role this season.

He only played 20 times in the Premier League, of which only 14 were starts.

Even though his goal efficiency was good, he scored eight goals.

However, this season, Podolski is no longer Wenger’s main choice on the offensive end.

If Walcott had not been reimbursed for the season and Chamberlain had not been injured, there would have been no one on the left wing, and he would not have been able to start in such a crucial game as the FA Cup final.

However, he also made his own contribution in Arsenal’s FA Cup promotion journey to the final.

With three goals in four games, plus the first goal in this game, his goal efficiency in the FA Cup reached four goals in five games!

He seized the opportunity to score shortly after the start of the game, and he did not live up to Wenger’s trust.

It is enough to prove that Prince Polti, who is nearly 30 years old, can still contribute to Arsenal!

And this goal is undoubtedly a dream start for Arsenal and the fans!

They didn’t expect that Leicester City, which was hailed as the “British Championship Overlord” by the media, was so vulnerable?

The Arsenal fans in the stands cheered and were extremely excited.

The Leicester City fans looked at the Arsenal players celebrating excitedly on the field in a daze, and were a little confused.

What’s going on?

Only five minutes after the start, they lost the ball?

You know, Leicester City is the team that lost the least in the entire British Championship.

After 46 rounds of the league throughout the season, only 30 goals were lost!

Seven goals less than Burnley, who lost the second fewest goals!

Especially in the second half of the league, Leicester City can often shut out opponents.

But now, in what may be the most important game of the season, Arsenal broke through the defense with just a few passes after just five minutes?

Are we careless, or are Arsenal too strong?

Could it be that this is the attack of the Premier League giants? !

Such doubts also appeared in the minds of Leicester City players.

They looked at each other, as if they had not recovered from the loss of the ball just now.

You know, in the English Championship where rough guys are everywhere and the confrontation is fierce, apart from Leicester City, almost no team can play such a smooth cooperation.

And this game is the first time that Leicester City and Arsenal have played against each other for ten years since 2004.

After ten years, the players of the two teams have been replaced.

Therefore, the understanding of each other can only be obtained by studying each other’s game videos and highlights.

Therefore, this led to Leicester City’s lack of understanding of Arsenal’s tactical play, and was hit by Arsenal at the beginning!

Strictly speaking, Leicester City is a team with strong offense and weak defense.

The reason why they conceded few goals is that Leicester City’s strong offensive firepower has covered up the team’s defensive problems to a certain extent.

The team’s two starting central defenders, Morgan and Moore, are both central defenders who are good at frontal air defense and interception, but slow in grabbing and turning.

Most of the Championship teams adopt long pass rush tactics, or cross from the wing, and directly kick high balls to find the center forward.

This certainly cannot threaten Morgan and Moore with excellent air defense capabilities.

However, once they encounter a technical flow team like Arsenal that passes and cooperates in a small range, the problem of the slow speed of the central defenders will be exposed!

In addition, Giroud, a fulcrum-type center forward, attracts the defense of the two central defenders, which gives Erdog, the front midfielder, space and time to pass the ball calmly.

Although he is a dead man.

But

Yes, as the former Real Madrid and German national team’s frontcourt organizing core, Erdog’s passing threatening ability is completely ranked in the top five in the world.

During the Real Madrid period, there were top shooters such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema. His number of assists in two seasons alone even exceeded the total assists of Xavi and Iniesta of Barcelona!

During that time, he was even hailed as the world’s No. 1 attacking midfielder!

Last summer, after coming to Arsenal with a high transfer fee in the team’s history, he quickly integrated into the team and showed his footwork in the Premier League.

And Matty James and Danny Drinkwater in the midfield were also a little careless, not noticing that this guy who looked listless and had heavy dark circles under his eyes actually passed the ball so decisively and sharply!

Although he was prepared for the gap in strength between the two teams.

However, Ling Feng did not expect that Arsenal would score in just one offensive round.

It is worthy of Arsenal under Wenger’s rule, the passing and control are as beautiful as a painting!

However, Arsenal’s first goal was not unexpected.

The team’s strength and the players’ individual abilities are there, and they are not so easily wiped out.

Losing the ball first may be a good thing.

This will wake up the Leicester City players from their dream of being invincible in the English Championship, and make them take this game seriously!

As long as they focus on the game and devote themselves to it, they still have a chance!

After all, the game has just started for five minutes.

. . .

Seeing the disciples resolutely implement their own tactics and take the lead in grabbing the start as expected before the game, Wenger, who was sitting in the coaching seat, also smiled slightly.

Then he stood up and applauded the performance of the disciples.

On the other side, Pearson frowned, turned around and watched the entire replay of the goal on the laptop with assistant coach Walsh, and reviewed it:

“This ball, Nugent was slow to pass the ball.”

“Look at their positions when they were rushing at the same time, they seemed to consciously block Ling and Riad’s receiving routes, and let the midfield pass the ball to the left”

“This may be Wenger’s deliberate arrangement. He knows that only Ling Feng and Mahrez can pass threatening balls in our frontcourt. So, relax Nugent’s space and let him get more balls”

“We should let Ling and Mahrez switch positions appropriately, and then retreat to get the ball.”

After discussing, Pearson got up from the coaching seat and came to the sidelines.

“Riad!”

While the Arsenal players had just finished celebrating and were walking back, Pearson waved and called Mahrez on the right side to the sidelines and made some tactical arrangements for him.

Then, Mahrez, who received the order, came to Ling Feng in the middle and conveyed the tactical instructions to the midfield brain of the team:

“The boss asked us to change positions from time to time and then retreat to receive the ball.”

Hearing this, Ling Feng nodded, indicating that he understood.

Retreating to receive the ball and adding a receiving point in the midfield are already routine changes for Leicester City to deal with the pressure of strong teams.

“Guys, the game has just begun!”

While loudly encouraging his teammates, Ling Feng did not forget to remind the two midfielders behind him:

“Danny, Marty, you can put more body on the eleventh, so that he can’t pass the ball so easily. And the nineteenth”

And the two nodded to show that they understood.

The scene of the three people’s communication also appeared on the big screen of the stadium.

The Fox fans at the scene cheered as soon as they saw Ling Feng’s serious and handsome face.

In their view, Ling Feng is the biggest contributor to their all the way to the FA Cup final.

Under his leadership, three Premier League teams, Stoke City, Chelsea and Hull City, all fell at their feet.

They have an inexplicable confidence that as long as Ling Feng is on the field, they will not lose!

After the kick-off again, Ling Feng retreated to ask for the ball.

And the midfielder Brother Drinking Water passed the ball without hesitation.

Due to the retreat, the Arsenal player who pressed Ling Feng changed from Ramsey, the central midfielder, to Erdog, the attacking midfielder.

Compared with his offensive talent, Erdog’s defensive ability and pressing enthusiasm are not worth mentioning.

Ling Feng just played a two-on-one with Brother Drinking Water, and easily got rid of his pressure, turned around, and faced the goal direction of Arsenal with the ball.

In Leicester City’s 4231 tactics, the timing of the attack is basically determined by Ling Feng.

Therefore, the moment Ling Feng turned around, it was the moment when Leicester City switched from defense to offense!

Without giving Ramsey a chance to press forward, Ling Feng passed the ball to the right and then kicked his foot.

With a [Burst] of 89, he shot out like a sharp arrow!

When passing by Ramsey, the latter couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart:

“How come it’s so fast?!”

After being amazed, Ramsey gritted his teeth and immediately turned around to chase.

Facing the fast-rolling ball, Mahrez, who leaned sideways against left-back Gibbs, gently stopped with his left foot and then pushed the ball to Ling Feng who was inserted.

Receiving the ball again, there was no Arsenal player within three meters around Ling Feng to interfere, so there was already space to pass the ball!

He didn’t look up to observe, but swung his right leg violently and made an arc pass.

With a “bang”, the ball with a strong swirl, cut through the air and flew to the area on the left side of the Arsenal penalty area.

Left winger Nugent, who started early, arrived at the first landing point of the ball before right-back Sagna returned to defense.

However, his stopping technique was not as good as Mahrez’s.

When he stretched his legs to stop the ball at his feet, Arsenal right-back Sagna was already in position, blocking him and blocking the angle of the cross.

And midfielder Arteta also helped in defense.

Just as Nugent was thinking about whether to break through to the outside, force a cross from the bottom, or cut in and shoot, he heard a shout from the right:

“David!”

Looking at the sound, seeing Ling Feng rushing up the middle at high speed, Nugent did not hesitate and sent a cross pass directly from between two Arsenal players to the outside of the penalty area.

Because Mertesacker in the penalty area was attracted by Vardy and Ramsey had not returned to defense, another Arsenal central defender Koscielny made a quick decision and stepped forward to block Ling Feng’s shooting angle with his body.

And just before he rushed out of the penalty area with his hands behind his back, Ling Feng met the ball and pushed the ball!

“Nugent passes back to the middle”

“Ling Feng…”

“Shoot!”

The inside of his foot wrapped the ball tightly, making a “bang” sound.

The next second, the ball shot out, just passing by Koscielny’s head to the left, and shot straight to the right side of the goal.

The speed of the ball was not fast, but the angle was very tricky.

It seemed to slide out of the goal, but it turned back into the goal with an inward arc!

Fortunately, goalkeeper Fabianski was very focused and prepared for Ling Feng’s long shot in advance.

He suddenly turned sideways to the right and blocked the ball out of the baseline with his fingertips in mid-air.

Seeing this, many Fox fans in the stands held their heads in their hands in unison, showing an expression of disbelief.

And Ling Feng’s eyes also flashed with a touch of regret.

In his opinion, this shot was already very good.

Perhaps Koscielny still interfered a little, so he didn’t dare to use too much force and didn’t play the ball at a fast enough speed.

This threatening attack caused a burst of exclamations from fans on both sides of the stadium.

Then, tens of thousands of Blue Fox fans in the stadium gave warm applause for this wave of attack.

“Ling, well done!”

“That’s it!”

“Come On! Foxes!”

Even Pearson on the sidelines applauded.

This wave of attack is enough to prove that Leicester City has enough ability to threaten Arsenal’s goal!

They, Leicester City, are not soft persimmons that can be easily squeezed!

Raising his hand to give Nugent the first praise of this game, Ling Feng came to the right corner flag area and prepared to take a corner kick.

Set-piece tactics are the main means for weak teams to create threats when facing strong teams.

Therefore, the two central defenders of Leicester City both rushed into Arsenal’s penalty area.

However, when Ling Feng’s corner kick flew to the crowd near the penalty spot in the penalty area, Mertesacker, who was nearly two meters tall, jumped up and headed the ball out immediately.

The ball fell at Cazorla’s feet outside the penalty area. Before Drinkwater could grab the ball, he passed the ball to a large open area on the left.

The left winger Podolski rushed forward at high speed and rushed forward with the ball!

At the same time, Ramsey and Erdog were rushing forward frantically, trying to make a counterattack.

In just ten seconds, Arsenal took advantage of the empty backcourt caused by Leicester City’s corner kick tactics and formed a three-on-two counterattack situation!

Seeing this, Ling Feng’s eyes condensed, and while running back desperately, he loudly reminded his teammates in the backcourt:

“Stick to him! Don’t let him pass!”

Since the two central defenders have already rushed up, there are only two faster full-backs left behind.

Facing Podolski’s breakthrough on the wing, right-back De Wright immediately chased back closely, pulling Podolski’s jersey with his hand, forcing him to lose the ball.

And left-back Schlupp quickly returned to the middle to prevent Podolski from passing the ball to the middle.

However, Podolski

Podolski is good at physical confrontation and ball control.

Although he slowed down his pace.

But he suddenly made a fake pass with his feet, which made De Wright’s whole body shake, and then broke through from the outside!

At the same time, Ramsey, who was full of energy, had already inserted from the middle at high speed!

Looking up at the middle, Podolski did not hesitate to use his left foot to pass the ball low.

The whole counterattack routine was exactly the same as Leicester City’s pass from the side to the front of the penalty area two minutes ago!

At this time, Matty James, who had been following Ramsey, saw that Ramsey came forward to receive the ball and could form a long shot, so he immediately took a tactical foul, reached out from behind and grabbed the back of Ramsey’s jersey, and then pulled it hard.

“Ah!”

With a scream, Ramsey fell to the ground.

The next second, the referee’s whistle sounded!
