Chapter 18: The Shadow Striker
Tottenham eventually won 3-2, with Loko scoring a goal but a brace from Sheringham prevented Saint-Germain from returning home.
But fortunately, Tottenham's game was also a miserable victory, two away goals were scored, Fernandes was quite satisfied with the performance of the opponent, the only one who was a little unhappy was Ling Feng......
But after the game, Ling Feng's performance was a big surprise, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Ling Feng actually walked out of the lounge like a nobody, and took the initiative to exchange jerseys with the opponent's Campbell.
The group of people were shocked, and Rai even ran up and touched Ling Feng's head to make sure he had a fever.
The most embarrassing thing is Campbell, generally such a game will not exchange jerseys, because if every game is exchanged, then how many sets of clothes are not enough, but since people took the initiative to propose, how can I say that I can't lose the demeanor, even if I even swallowed the other party alive on the field just now.
Wenger patted Anelka, who was wondering, and said with a smile: "Let's go, your friend is okay now, Basten is really Basten." ”
But Wenger didn't see that on the side of the pitch, Basten was smoking a cigarette depressedly, thinking angrily: "What is it!" This Chinese boy, God knows what kind of freak he will become in the future, I will persuade him? I myself was almost persuaded by him. ”
However, Ling Feng's mental state is still very good, this is something that everyone can see, Fernandez is still relieved, if Ling Feng is still like this in the next game, it can only rely on Luo Ke.
Ling Feng finally ushered in his first defeat since joining Saint-Germain, but it seems that this defeat brought more advantages than disadvantages to Ling Feng, and now Ling Feng finally recognized his own style, which is far more important to him than the victory or defeat of a game.
Back in Paris, Saint-Germain rushed to Lyon, France's second largest city, where their next match against Lyon will be played three days later.
Lyon are not a constant powerhouse in Ligue 1 at this time, and at best they can only hover in the middle of the table, so for Fernandes, this game is here to get three points.
After Saint-Germain and his entourage stayed in the hotel provided by the Lyon club, Djokaeff and others immediately began to sleep, no way, the game with Tottenham was too intense, and after the game, they came to Lyon by plane and car in a row, and they didn't have a good rest, they were too tired.
But it doesn't seem to be all, at least there is one person who is very energetic, and that person is naturally Ling Feng.
Saint-Germain's players didn't know what happened to Ling Feng off the field when they were playing on the field in the second half, anyway, now Ling Feng gave everyone the feeling that it seemed to be a little, not very mentally normal......
He was so excited, even if he played the first game, he had never been so excited, Ling Feng usually gave people the impression of being relatively stable, and occasionally a little funny, but today......
"Yuri (Djokaeau), let's go visit the second largest city in France, I heard that the girls here are good, not worse than Paris, don't you want to have a second spring? Don't worry, I won't tell my sister-in-law. ”
Djokaeff couldn't stand being annoyed: "You go to Rai, they Brazilians know how to enjoy life better than us, and I love my wife very much." ”
Ling Feng: "Rai ......"
Rai: "You go to the black bull, he's not married, and I love my wife too." ”
Mboma: "Zzzzzzzz~~~~~~"
The substitute players in the other rooms secretly sighed, fortunately Ling Feng was not very familiar with them, although he did not play in the game against Tottenham, but he sat on the plane and train for so long non-stop, and the iron man couldn't stand it, I really don't know what kind of rare metal he is made of......
After three days of trouble, I finally waited for the match against Lyon.
Although there is a gap in strength, the Lyon team has no idea of disarming, and the two teams launched a big attack at the beginning of the game, and Ling ......Feng, who was alive and kicking before the game, is now sitting on the bench, reluctantly watching his teammates running on the field.
"I said coach, you just let me go, I'm in good shape right now."
"Coach, you see that they can't even open the situation now, they haven't scored so far, and the black bull of Mbema has wasted so many opportunities, so you just let me go."
Fernández listened as if an old monk had settled down, Ling Feng felt bored after arguing for a while, and sat back in his place honestly with a pout.
The first half had been played for 25 minutes, and the situation on the pitch had so far been dominated by Saint-Germain, with Lyon not to be outdone in front of their own goal, and also caused a couple of dangerous attacks, and both sides played well but unfortunately did not score.
Fernandez couldn't sit still, and ran to the sidelines and shouted to his disciples: "Attack, pay attention to the defense in the middle, what are you all eating, being so easily broken through the defense by them?!" ”
Ling Feng shrank in the stool and just wanted to laugh, when the situation on the field couldn't be opened, wouldn't you old man replace me?
Sure enough, Fernandez glanced at Ling Feng, who was snickering, and said helplessly: "Ling, go warm up, and help Djokaeff share the pressure of the offense later." If you don't do well today, don't think about playing again! ”
Ling Feng jumped up all of a sudden, and hurriedly promised: "Coach, don't worry, with my defender in Lyon, just wait to cry." ”
Mboma broke through on the side, the ball was shoveled out of the boundary by the opponent's defender, and at this time the fourth official raised the sign in his hand, No. 8 down, No. 46 up!
Ling Feng hugged Le Guen and ran into the field, and suddenly there was a huge boo at the Grant Stadium, no way, now Ling Feng is the hottest person in Ligue 1, he has scored eight goals in five consecutive Ligue 1 games, not including the goal just scored in the Cup Winners' Cup.
The game between clubs is like this, the more famous the player, the bigger the boos of the opponent, so the fame of the star does not necessarily mean that the skill is good, but the psychological quality is definitely first-class!
According to Ling Feng's original character, if someone booed him, he would definitely boo him back, but now there are at least more than 10,000 Marseille fans at Grant Stadium, and Ling Feng estimated that each of them could drown himself with a mouthful of spit......
Mboma threw a boundary ball near the penalty area, Ling Feng broke through the close defenders with a swipe, and then passed the ball to Djokaeff in the middle, Djokaeff immediately distributed it to Rai on the other side, who gently picked up the ball and passed the ball to the penalty area, Mboma quickly rushed to a header, but it was slightly above the crossbar, and the shocked Lyon fans exclaimed.
The few Saint-Germain fans immediately cheered loudly, although this goal was not scored, but Ling Feng's addition immediately created a threatening shot, for them, as long as Ling Feng was present, it was a matter of time before they scored.
In this game, Ling Feng changed his position, no longer a free man running wildly, but a shadow striker who was close behind Mbema and Rayi, this was also the first time that Ling Feng played this position in a regular game, in order to take care of Ling Feng's attack, Djokaeff consciously retreated and was responsible for the transition of the midfield.
Lyon's head coach was still snickering, without the Chinese teenager's stubborn defense, his attack would be much easier, but he soon realized how wrong he was.
In the 40th minute of the first half, Ling Feng received Djokaeff's pass in the midfield and easily flashed a defender and killed the opponent's goal, and the frightened Lyon's four defenders immediately stood by, because the Chinese teenager's ball control skills were something they had seen, and none of them dared to say that they could stop the opponent one-on-one.
The attention of the four defenders was all attracted by Ling Feng, and Rai and Mbuma secretly stood in their proper positions at this time, ready to sneak attack or make up shots at any time.
Lyon's defenders didn't dare to let Ling Feng get too close to the penalty area, because they knew that in addition to having a magical ball control technique, this pervert was also scary enough to shoot from a distance, and letting him hit the goal in front of the penalty area was no different from the single ball of an ordinary striker.
Can the pressing of ordinary guards pose a threat to Ling Feng? The answer, of course, is no.
Ling Feng just pulled lightly past the first defender, and when the second defender stretched his foot, he gently pulled the ball to the left with his right foot, and suddenly knocked the ball forward with the heel of his left foot, and the ball skipped through the gap of the defender in this beautiful arc and flew towards the penalty area.
The players defending Rai didn't expect Ling Feng to pass the ball in this way, and his vision was really blocked by his own people, and he didn't have time to react to Ling Feng's pass over his head.
Kolai is different, for him, it is acceptable for Ling Feng to pass the ball out even if he uses his butt, so from the moment Ling Feng took the ball, Rai's eyes were firmly fixed on the ball, so when the ball just flew out, Rai began to start.
A wonderful anti-offside pass!
Rai followed the ball and gently picked it up, and the ball flew over the head of the attacking goalkeeper, and the goal was empty!
If Rai misses this opportunity, he doesn't deserve to wear the number 10 shirt for the Brazilian national team, and with a quick left foot pad, the ball flies into the door.
1:0! With five minutes left in the first half, the Saint-Germain team finally broke the deadlock on the field with a wonderful pass from Ling Feng.
The Grant Stadium became a sea of blue and red, and thousands of Parisian and Chinese fans cheered at the top of their voices! On the contrary, more than 10,000 Lyon fans were dejected, and they already hated the Chinese teenager because he had planned a duel after only 10 minutes on the pitch.
Raj excitedly threw Ling Feng to the ground, he had not scored in several games, although Saint-Germain won every game some time ago, but for a striker like him, not scoring is a failure, coupled with the arrival of the top scorer in Ligue 1 Loko, his main position will soon be unable to be kept, and a goal at this time is too timely for him.
Fernandez looked at Lyon coach Paul Löguin, who was teaching his disciples on the sidelines, and not only sneered: "Actually, this is Ling's real position, Löguin, you underestimate the offensive ability of this Chinese boy, and in the second half, you just wait and cry." ”
