Chapter 39 The style of the king of the ball
Bayer Leverkusen is the most embarrassing team in the Bundesliga, as the representative team of the hometown of German sports, but has maintained a bad result, occasionally can be powerful, but has not won a league title, the best result is to win the German Football Association Cup once and the UEFA Cup once.
It's just that the current Leverkusen is the darkness before the dawn, and Ling Feng knows that in the later generations, Leverkusen has a nickname, called "Ace Second", because they have won the league runner-up four times in the six years from the 1996 season to the 2002 season, and once they even won the "Sanya King".
Compared to the treble with Manchester United, Sanya Wang is a laughing stock in the eyes of many people, but Bayer Leverkusen's overall strength is still very impressive, especially since he now has the veteran of the German team - Schuster, a guy who will get into trouble.
The game was played on Wednesday night, and now Saint-Germain are top of the group with six points from three games, two wins and one loss, the rest are Tottenham and Udinese, who are tied for second place in the group with four points from one win, one draw and one loss, and Bayer Leverkusen are bottom of the group with two draws and one loss after three games.
So in this home game against Saint-Germain, Bayer Leverkusen can only win and not lose, and if they lose, then their Cup Winners' Cup journey is basically hopeless.
Bayer Leverkusen fans entered the stadium early in support of the home team, and more than 20,000 home fans turned the Gulf Stadium into a sea of red.
Leverkusen fans have not seen Ling Feng's footwork with their own eyes, because Ling Feng has not entered the first team and has not participated in the game in the first game, which makes the fans in Paris even more proud, without Ling Feng can win, with Ling Feng's words, hum......
However, they seem to have forgotten that it was at their home stadium and that the only goal Rai scored was from the penalty spot......
"People who haven't played against Ling Feng will never know how terrible he is, the consequences of belittling him are fatal, he can score goals in a way you would never have imagined, he is the most terrible opponent I have ever seen." Schuster said after the game that the veteran who shone at Euro 1980 gave Ling Feng a high rating.
But before the bout began, no one at Bayer Leverkusen regarded the 15-year-old Chinese teenager as a heavyweight opponent, even though he was famous, even though he had recently performed a stunning five-kick stunt.
The Leverkusen people are destined to pay the price for their hubris.
As soon as the game began, Bayer Leverkusen pressed on the attack, with Schuster, Sergio, Gilsten, Heinz and Kovac, they were not weak in attack or defense, and they had already put on a desperate posture and began to bombard the Saint-Germain backline.
From the beginning of the game, Ling Feng was paying attention to Schuster, this once famous player, this madman who once didn't care about anything and transferred without permission, and this rebel who refused to enter the national team.
In terms of age, Schuster should be 36 years old this year, and such a veteran is naturally not very active in running on the field, but his incomparable experience and imaginative passing are really experienced.
And he is largely out of possession at the moment, tearing apart opposition defence with his scalpel-like passes when he has the chance, and the Saint-Germain defence was torn apart three times in ten minutes by his passes, but fortunately did not cause a goal.
It is obvious that it is not worth the loss to mark such a transmitter, because the opponent does not make a breakthrough at all, and the defender can only be played by him, wasting his physical strength in vain.
What Ling Feng has to do is to stop others from passing the ball to him in the midfield.
In the first 20 minutes of the game, it was Saint-Germain who went on the defensive, but the defence also had the advantage of being able to play some quick counter-attacks to threaten the opponent's goal.
In the first 20 minutes of the first half, Leverkusen had seven shots on goal, three in the woodwork, and two corners; Saint-Germain had four shots, three in the woodwork and one from a corner.
Neither side scored.
Ling Feng's defense has achieved a certain effect, but the effect is not very big, after all, it is very difficult to stop an excellent midfielder from passing, he also wants to try how many catties this most skilled player in the history of German football is, and the answer is really Lao Jiang Mi.
Since Ling Feng did not participate too much in the attack of Saint-Germain, the defenders of Leverkusen lowered their vigilance against him again, and the only better one was the goalkeeper Henin, Ling Feng had seen the hanging shot that scored Marseille, so he naturally did not dare to stand so high.
The most impressive thing about Ling Feng's recent games is that his skills are comprehensive, but no matter how comprehensive his skills are, he will also have specialties, for example, Ronaldinho's specialty is ball control, Ronaldo is speed, and Beckham is passing, so what is Ling Feng?
No one knows yet that this Chinese teenager has performed very well in all fields since he landed in Europe, whether it is ball control, shooting, body, endurance or speed, the only thing that does not use him is probably the header.
It's just that in recent games, Ling Feng has impressed people the most with long-range shooting and passing, and people have even forgotten that he is a shadow striker with outstanding passing skills.
Bayer Leverkusen attacked again, also through Schuster, but his pass to Heinz was cut off by defender Domi, who immediately passed to Le Guun in midfield.
The French defender did not hesitate, and directly gave a kick to Ling Feng in the arc circle, in the surprised eyes of 20,000 Leverkusen in the Gulf Stadium, Ling Feng pulled and knocked with his right foot at the moment of stopping the ball, easily flashed past Schuster, and disappeared in the dilated pupils of the German veteran.
Sergio immediately came up to make up for the defense, Ling Feng handed the ball to his left foot, and with a sudden disguise, he broke through the Brazilian's pressing and continued to rush forward.
Kovac clung closely, but he couldn't squeeze out of Ling Feng's position, and the Croatian with outstanding skills couldn't judge Ling Feng's next move at all, so he had to chase after him like this rudely.
Due to Kovac's defense, Ling Feng's speed slowed down, but it did not affect his breakthrough, and at this time Novotny also made up for it, and the two of them jointly blocked Ling Feng's route to the middle.
According to the opinion of Leverkusen fans, Ling Feng has to change to the side even if he is not cut off, and under the attack of two top players, it is impossible for him to break through.
But for Ling Feng, nothing is impossible!
Ling Feng made a sudden stop and then gently flicked the ball to the left, Kovac's center of gravity was immediately lost, and the whole person pounced forward, and at the moment when Novorny was blocked by Kovacs, Ling Feng gently picked the ball through Novotny's thigh, and then the whole person rushed over like an arrow.
The stout German was blocked by Kovacs, but then he felt a strong attack, and his body couldn't help but be knocked out of direction, and Ling Feng took this opportunity to rush over.
The last defender, Warnes, didn't expect Ling Feng to be able to break through the defense between the two, he was already standing on the right waiting to steal Ling Feng's breakthrough, but Ling Feng went straight from the middle and came back, and couldn't help but run back to make up for the defense.
Between Ling Feng's right foot knocked inward, Warnes immediately stretched out his foot and broke it to the left, but at this time he saw a strange scene, Ling Feng did not knock the ball to the end this time, but used the outside instep to wipe the ball to the left side again in mid-air, and shook the bull's tail!
This is the first time Ling Feng has used it in the European arena, the first time it has been used in the league against Monaco, and it is really invincible.
Warnes was dodged and lost his balance, and Ling Feng easily burst into the penalty area and stabbed alone!
Henin hurriedly attacked, he had a premonition that something was wrong from the time Novotny was passed, but it was too late to say anything now, and the attack was just a matter of doing his best, it was better to pounce out, and in a bad case, he had to stop him, because Novotny was chasing back.
Ling Feng picked up his right foot, it looked like he was about to shoot, Hai Ning hurriedly pounced, but the moment he fell, he didn't see the ball flying out, and in an instant he understood that it was a feint!
Ling Feng shook Haining slightly, there was a goal in front of him, and now all he had to do was push the ball forward, but he didn't do it, because he felt that someone was rushing behind him.
It's Novotny!
Among the few people, he is the only one who has not lost his balance, so he is the fastest to recover, and he has made up his mind to stop this ball even if he is playing foul and eating cards, and if he takes a penalty, he still has a glimmer of hope.
But how could Ling Feng let him succeed? Gently clamp the ball, the heel of the left foot and the top of the right foot shake the ball up, and the person jumps forward.
Novotny thought that this time the tackle was nine out of ten, but he didn't expect that the other party knew that he was coming from behind, and used this strange way to flash himself, and when he was remorseful, he couldn't control the momentum of the slide and hit the goalpost solidly.
After landing on the ground, Ling Feng didn't stay any longer, he was not arrogant enough that the other party had come a few times, and when the ball didn't land, he put his left foot on the pad, and the ball flew into the gate lightly.
1:0, in the 23rd minute of the first half of the game, Saint-Germain relied on Ling Feng's outstanding individual skills to help the whole team take the lead with one person.
However, Ling Feng didn't cheer after the goal, because he saw that Novotny hit him lightly, and hurriedly ran to him, stretching out his hand to signal to pull him up.
Although Novotny was not angry, he was convinced just now, and in his impression, he had never met such a magical person, and only Maradona could do this in his impression.
Taking Ling Feng's hand, Novotny stood up and signaled that he was fine, and Ling Feng only then staggered back to his half of the court to accept the blessings of his teammates.
At this time, the Gulf Stadium suddenly burst into earth-shattering applause, which made the Saint-Germain players think that they were back in their home stadium for a while.
Looking around, 20,000 Leverkusen fans stood up in unison and applauded Ling Feng neatly, for his superb football skills, but also for his outstanding personality.
Ling Feng gave a gentlemanly salute to the away fans around him, and suddenly the cheers at the Bay Stadium reached a climax.
The Bayer Leverkusen commentator said sourly: "Ling's goal has made football beyond the boundaries of winning and losing, and he is destined to become a great star." ”
Looking at the home team fans who applauded and cheered for Ling Feng, Schuster's excitement was difficult to calm down, because this scene was too familiar, when he played for Barcelona in 1982, he also encountered such a thing, and the opponent at that time was Barcelona's sworn rival Real Madrid, and the player who made Real Madrid fans cheer eventually became the greatest player in the world.
His name was Diego Maradona.
Perhaps only a football-level figure can do this, so that football transcends the boundaries of hatred and conquers everyone's hearts with great skills.
What Schuster didn't know was that in the later generations when Ling Feng didn't appear, there was also a player who used his ball skills to make the visiting fans cheer for him loudly, and he, because of injuries, was only one step away from the king of the ball.
"Alien" Ronaldo, after he scored his first goal after recovering from injury in 02, the opposing fans also stood up and cheered for him.
Only such a star can be called a superstar!
A short and fat man in the VIP seat pressed his hat down and muttered softly: "This young man is really good, Bernd (Schuster) is also old, and now it is the world of young people." ”
