Chapter Twenty-Five: Kicking Football, Use Your Brain [Ask for Follow-up!] 】

Looking at the situation on the field, as he arranged, Mourinho, who was sitting in the coach's seat of the away team, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and showed a faint smile.

In fact, with Frank Lampard, who has stronger attacking attributes, and Mikel and Ramirez, who have better defense, in midfield, Mourinho has his own calculations.

Although at the home of Leicester City.

However, considering the difference in quality between the two sides, Mourinho intends to fight back and attack at the King Power Stadium first, and strive to score as soon as possible.

And after scoring a goal, you can be invincible by implementing the best defensive counter-attacking tactics.

Under this tactic, Lampard will frequently cut forward, even behind Torres and play as a second striker, so as to make the most of his strengths in the back of the line.

Nemanja Matic, on the other hand, will take on most of the defensive duties.

Among them, staring at Ling Feng is the death order given to him by Mourinho!

In Mourinho's view, as long as Ling Feng is the main point of the ball, Leicester City's attack in the middle will be paralyzed, and they can only rely on the wide break to open up the gap.

Chelsea's two full-backs, Ashley Cole and Branislav Ivanovic, are among the best in the Premier League.

Leicester City don't open the gap from the flanks so easily!

And such an active change of tactics did catch Leicester City off guard.

By watching the footage of the Chelsea game, Leicester City manager Pearson found that Mourinho's team, in the opening stages of the game, mostly based on defense first, will not rush to launch a large-scale onslaught.

Therefore, all the tactical arrangements before the game are carried out according to this basis.

But I didn't think that in this game, Chelsea actually attacked as soon as they came up!

"This Portuguese is very bad!"

"No, we must quickly shrink our defense and resist this wave of onslaught first!"

However, before Pearson could come to the sidelines to greet the players, the situation on the field changed!

As Eden Hazard continued to dribble down the left, Leicester City's right-back De Wright and another centre-back Andy King were both bewildered and embarrassed.

In desperation, the central defenders could only come over to help the defense.

However, just as Hazard burst into the penalty area with a left and right move, the young central defender Liam Moore, who is only 20 years old, was too frizzy and wanted to stretch his leg to break the ball, but kicked directly into Hazard's calf.

The Chelsea number 17 screamed and fell to the ground.

In the next second, the referee Paul Tierney, who witnessed all this not far away, blew the whistle decisively and raised his finger to the penalty spot!

"Penalty!"

'Eden Hazard was kicked down in the box and the referee awarded a penalty!!'

"It's a penalty machine!"

When he first came to England last season, Eden Hazard was the player who scored the most penalties in the entire Premier League!

And this time, he showed what he could do in the FA Cup...

Seeing the referee's decision, tens of thousands of home fans in the King Power Stadium erupted in uniform boos.

They didn't care about Hazard, who was clutching his legs in pain and lying on the turf wailing.

These fans greeted Hazard directly:

"Oh, no!"

"What is that kid doing?! Why stretch your legs?! ”

"Fack! It's a fake fall! ”

Although the foul is very obvious.

And the replay of the big screen can clearly see that it was Moore who took the initiative to stretch out his leg and kick Hazard down.

However, as the captain of the team, Morgan still stepped forward to defend himself to the referee.

And the young central defender Moore, who rarely got the chance to start, also desperately explained, saying that Hazard bumped into it himself, and it was none of his business.

However, referee Paul Tierney was unmoved, firmly awarded the penalty and showed Moore a yellow card.

After signaling the Leicester players to stay away from him, he began to signal for the Chelsea players to take a penalty.

Chelsea's first penalty taker was Frank Lampard.

England's most goalscoring midfielder didn't waste his chances, it was all over the place!

With a powerful volley, the ball went into the bottom left corner of the goal at great speed.

Schmeichel Jr. could only look at the ball and sigh.

Less than eight minutes into the game, Chelsea took the lead thanks to Frank Lampard's penalty!

"One to zero!"

'Chelsea are off to a dream start!'

As the Chelsea players celebrated in the corner flag area, captain Morgan and Vardy raised their arms to encourage their team-mates who had lost a goal:

"It's okay, the game has just begun!"

"That's right, we still have time!"

"Get serious!"

With the shouts of his teammates and the singing of the away team's fans echoing in his ears, Ling Feng's brain began to run wildly.

At this moment, he has only one thought:

What will it take for him to help the team win this game against Chelsea?

。。。

Coming through, even if he had a plug-in like the system on his body, Ling Feng did not completely pin his hopes of becoming stronger on the system.

In his opinion, the system is just a catalyst that makes him stronger faster.

To truly become a strong professional footballer, you must put in enough effort and sweat yourself!

And to kick a ball, in addition to using your feet, you also have to use your brain.

Therefore, whether it is in training or competing, Ling Feng is thinking about it all the time.

What should I do to better connect with this action, how should I pass the ball to create a direct threat, how should this attack run so that I can better respond to my teammates...

It is this kind of active thinking that makes Ling Feng have a clear understanding of his own strengths and weaknesses.

Their advantages are that they have high passing accuracy, diversified passing methods, top-notch running without the ball, and strong running ability;

The disadvantage is that the physical confrontation is too poor, the defensive ability is average, the foot technique is average, and the finishing ability is average.

According to the various types of midfielders in today's football, Ling Feng positions himself as the core of the frontcourt organization, which is equivalent to the No. 10 position.

Cut down on individual dribbling and be responsible for linking up frontcourt to create chances with passes and thus threaten the opposition goal.

And he knows very well that his physical confrontation ability at the current stage is not enough at all.

Not to mention the tall Nemanja Matic, who can't even carry Oscar, the least physical player in the Chelsea squad.

So, with Matic focusing on his own predicament, how should he break the game?

Fortunately, it was not the first time that Ling Feng had been targeted.

In the last game against Leeds United, he was also followed by the opponent's midfield, but he still showed a perfect performance of one pass and one shot to help the team win the game.

This time, he can do the same.

And the way to break the game is to retreat and transpose!

As long as he retreats to his own half to get the ball, Matic does not dare to continue to follow.

Because once he comes out, there will be a lot of space in Chelsea's midfield position.

If Nemanja Matic doesn't follow, he can switch positions with Riyad Mahrez on the right and make a threatening pass towards goal on the right.

However, this method requires the cooperation of teammates.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng beckoned to Mahrez who was not far away, and shouted:

"Riad! Come here! ”
