Chapter 51 I don't hold grudges, I will take revenge on the spot! 【2-in-1】
With a long whistle from the referee, this much-watched East Midlands derby officially started!
Leicester City, who kicked off first, firmly controlled the ball as soon as they came up.
Nottingham Forest, which is playing at home, has adopted a high press.
It is worth mentioning that Nottingham Forest's formation, like Leicester City, is also 4231.
The front three forwards, plus an attacking midfielder, beat their own half as soon as the kick-off and put pressure on Leicester's ball-handlers.
Obviously, even in the face of the "Blue Fox" who has won ten consecutive league games and is full of momentum, Nottingham Forest's head coach Billy Davies does not intend to sit still!
In the face of the forest that took the initiative, Leicester City followed the formulated passing and control tactics.
Just as Ling Feng retreated to the midfield as usual and took the ball with his back, a figure immediately pounced from behind.
In an instant, Ling Feng could even clearly hear a heavy wheezing sound.
He didn't hesitate and knocked the ball back to Drinkwater in midfield.
However, he seems to have overlooked a very important matter.
You know, it's a derby!
The next second he passed the ball, Ling Feng felt someone behind him push him with his hand.
When he was caught off guard, the whole person was directly pushed to the ground.
However, Ling Feng didn't hear the whistle blow.
He knelt on the turf, immediately turned his head to look at the referee who was not far away, and protested with open hands:
"Hey, this isn't a foul?!"
In this regard, the referee just glanced at him expressionlessly, and directly gestured to him to get up.
Seeing this, Ling Feng frowned, and couldn't help but curse in Chinese in a low voice:
"Gan! Stupid referee! ”
After scolding, he put his hands on the ground and stood up neatly.
It's not the first time he's been treated like a star.
As Leicester's most violated player, he was brought down several times per game.
In order to protect himself, Ling Feng slowly learned how to avoid the opponent's physical confrontation and rough fouls as much as possible.
However, he wanted to avoid it, but his opponent didn't intend to let him go...
Once!
Twice!
Three times!!
In the next five minutes, Ling Feng was pushed down or knocked down by Nottingham Forest players when he got the ball several times, and the referee did not blow the whistle in his mouth.
In the face of the protests of Ling Feng and other Leicester City players, he just waved his hands to indicate that it was a normal collision and not a foul.
It was only at this time that Ling Feng and his teammates realized the peculiarity of this game.
Perhaps it was the home whistle, or perhaps the FA was not looking to allow Leicester to break their winning streak, and the referee clearly came with a task in mind.
The scale of blowing penalties is very lenient, which directly encourages the Nottingham Forest players to increase the arrogance of physical confrontation.
And Ling Feng has become the focus of Nottingham Forest's players!
Boom!
With a terrible scream, Ling Feng was once again knocked away from the side by Nottingham Forest's midfielder Greening.
Maybe the action was too big, or maybe it was too obvious to help, the referee finally blew the whistle in his hand.
Witnessing Ling Feng being knocked away, Vardy, who was nearby, rubbed his anger with anger.
Seeing him take an arrow step, he killed in front of the referee, pointed at Greening, who pretended to be innocent, and protested loudly:
"This is the fourth time! 4th time!! Don't you give cards yet?! ”
The referee was frightened by Vardy's hideous face and took half a step back, and hurriedly raised his hand to press down:
"Calm down!"
Vardy, who had a temper, didn't give him face at all and continued to spit at close range:
"Calm down what? Do you have to watch him get injured and carried off the field before you give up your cards?! ”
Riyad Mahrez and "Drinking Brother" Drinkwater also came to the scene quickly and surrounded the referee, eager to ask for an explanation.
"Is this a kick or a kick?!"
"If you hit someone from behind and pass the ball out, isn't that a card?"
Later, captain Morgan also arrived at the scene, separated the angry teammates, and then communicated with the referee.
Meanwhile...
Seeing Ling Feng, the core of the team and a proud disciple, lying on the turf, he usually sat in the coach's seat during the game, and Pearson, who rarely came to the sidelines to command, finally couldn't sit still.
He slammed up from the visitors' dugout, strode to the sidelines, and put a rare loud pressure on the fourth official on the sidelines:
"Damn, he passed the ball out and went up to ram it?!"
"Is this a soccer game, or is it a fighting game?"
"It's 100 percent a foul!"
Just as the head coach and his teammates were seeking justice for Ling Feng, Mahrez came to Ling Feng's side, patted his body, and asked with concern:
"Ling, are you okay?"
Lying on his side on the turf, rubbing the muscles on the back of his calf, Ling Feng looked like he was grinning.
"It should be fine, just a hard injury."
"Can you get up? Or do you call a team doctor? ”
"No..."
Sitting on the ground and slowing down, waiting for the pain in the calf muscles to subside a bit, Ling Feng slowly stood up with the help of Mahrez.
Perhaps it was because of too many close contacts with the turf, Ling Feng's blue jersey and white pants were stained with grass clippings.
The live broadcast camera captured the scene in time.
"Ling Feng was the focus of attention from the Nottingham Forest players today, this is the fifth foul, but he did not show a yellow card. The referee's penalty scale is a bit loose..."
"Leicester City boss Pearson on the sidelines was very unhappy with the referee's decision and kept protesting to the fourth official..."
"In the face of Nottingham's tough defense, how will Leicester City and Ling Feng deal next..."
In the end, under the crowd of Leicester City players, the referee had to call the foul Greening in front of him and give him a verbal warning.
Yes, even if this is Greening's fourth foul on Ling Feng, the referee still didn't take out the card!
And such a bias in the judgment made the Blue Fox fans who came with the away team boo in disappointment.
While patting the grass clippings on his buttocks with his hand, Ling Feng scolded the referee in his heart:
"Made, the home whistle is so obvious, this is obviously trying to do something!"
The referee blows the penalty scale too loosely, which is a disaster for a technical player like him who is not good at physical confrontation.
There was no way, in order to avoid being viciously fouled again and even injured, Ling Feng had to reduce the number of times he retreated to catch the ball.
Fortunately, Leicester City is not the only one who can hold the ball in the frontcourt.
Seeing the Greening following Ling Feng behind him, Marty James in the midfield did not hesitate and passed the ball to Mahrez on the right side.
After winning the ball, Mahrez faced Forest's left-back Fox and dribbled forward in an attempt to lure the opposition into revealing the flaws first.
Seeing this, Ling Feng subconsciously ran over from the middle lane to respond.
Without hesitation, Mahrez knocked the ball straight to Ling Feng, and then immediately cut forward into the space behind Forest left-back Fox.
However, before Ling Feng could pass the ball out and play a one-two with Mahrez, he felt a gust of wind coming from behind him!
Again?!
Between the lightning and flint, Ling Feng directly picked up the ball lightly, and then jumped on the spot.
In the next second, the tall Greening was like a runaway forklift, making a flying shovel from the side and back, knocking Ling Feng over with the ball!
Fortunately, Ling Feng jumped up in advance, and he was able to dodge the attacking spikes.
Otherwise, if the supporting foot is hit by a strong shovel, it will definitely break a bone on the spot, or even break a leg!
Even so, Ling Feng was still taken down by the accompanying action and fell hard.
Such a dangerous flying tackle action with bright shoe spikes completely ignited the anger of Leicester City players and fans!
"Shit! Do you want to abolish Ling?! ”
"Hell, is the referee blind? Isn't this a foul?! ”
"Red card! Punish that damn murderer! ”
Fans hurled insults from the stands.
The Leicester City players on the pitch also rushed to the scene of the crime.
Although Ling Feng has just been promoted to the first team for more than a month.
However, this young man's strength is outstanding, but he is not arrogant and humble.
The team has a good impression of him.
Even Nugent, who was squeezed by Ling Feng to the left winger, rushed to Ling Feng's side as soon as possible to support him.
"Referee, he's got his shoes studded!"
"Please, this is a football game, not a street fight!"
Under pressure from Leicester's players, the referee simply held the whistle in his mouth and signaled for everyone to stay away from him.
Nottingham Forest's players also rushed to the scene to try to use their bodies to counter this explanation to prevaricate the danger of fouls.
And the initiator, Greening, is still quibbling, claiming that he tackled the ball first and did not deliberately foul him.
However, such a dangerous maneuver, even if there is no intentional intent to hurt people, has caused harm to the player.
What's more, with so many pairs of eyes on the court, the referee did not dare to risk the world's condemnation to let Greening go.
After a mental weighing, the referee finally reached out and pulled a yellow card out of his chest pocket.
This yellow card caused dissatisfaction among the home fans.
The shrill boos suddenly enveloped the entire stadium.
"Watch your movements! Don't have a next time! ”
After warning Greening, the referee looked at Ling Feng, who was still lying on the ground, and couldn't help beckoning to the sidelines.
The Leicester City team doctor, who was ready, immediately rushed into the field with a medicine box.
At the same time, Pearson on the sidelines, Leicester fans in the stands and in front of the TV, looked at Ling Feng lying on the turf, and all prayed silently in their hearts:
"Don't be fine... Don't be fine..."
Especially Ling Shan and Julia, who watched the live broadcast of the game at home, were even more worried.
Seeing their son being constantly violated by the opposing players, the two can't wait to go on the field and beat up those bastards who hurt themselves.
Fortunately, after some examination and treatment, coupled with a fast-acting painkiller spray, Ling Feng quickly stood up slowly with the support of the team doctor.
Seeing Ling Feng's handsome face between his tightly locked eyebrows appear on the big screen of the stadium, the Leicester City fans in the stadium applauded and cheered for him.
Helped to the sidelines, Pearson immediately came up and asked the team doctor:
"Is he okay?"
"It's fine, just a contusion of musculature, no damage to bones or ligaments."
Hearing this, the big stone in Pearson's heart suddenly let go.
"Ling, can you still hold on?"
Meeting Pearson's inquiring gaze, Ling Feng frowned and nodded firmly.
"No problem, coach, I can hold on!"
With that, Ling Feng turned his head to look at the field, staring at the man who had just given him a flying shovel and had long and disorganized hair like a bum.
Greening, right?
I remember you!
。。。
After the dead ball, Ling Feng returned to the field again.
With Greening carrying a yellow card, Nottingham Forest replaced another midfielder, Guy Moxi, to press Ling Feng closely.
Compared to the 1.8-meter Greening, the midfielder is a head taller.
However, being tall means that you are not flexible.
Retreating to catch the ball again, Ling Feng protected the ball with his back, and when Guy Moxie was about to stick to his back, he once again used the magic skill of getting rid of the spot - pulling the ball back!
With a pull and a knock on his feet, he easily passed the tall but very bulky Guy Moxi.
Immediately afterward, a dashing turn dodged the pull of his hand after his dislocation.
Seeing Ling Feng advancing forward with the ball in the middle, the team's captain and central defender Collins' eyes widened, and he immediately reminded loudly:
"Go up, don't let him pass the ball!"
Hearing the shouts of the captain behind him, Greening, who was dragging behind in the middle of the field, had no choice but to grab it.
He didn't forget to show a fierce expression, staring at Ling Feng who was coming forward.
Imp, you don't want to pass the ball!
In the face of the swooping Greening, the corners of Ling Feng's mouth curled, revealing a mysterious smile.
The next second, he was stunned and stopped in place.
"Just past the arc of the middle circle with the ball, Ling Feng suddenly stopped."
"He looked up and looked like he was going to pass the ball..."
However, to everyone's surprise in the stadium and in front of the TV, something happened:
I saw Ling Feng glance forward, then he swung his right leg vigorously, straightened the instep, and slammed it at the bottom of the ball with all his might!
With a "bang", the ball shot out like a cannonball, and smashed straight into the face of the unprepared Greening!
"He passed... Well?! ”
As Greening was kicked in the face by the ball, his whole head was dizzy and he immediately fell backwards.
The narrator's passionate commentary also came to an abrupt end!
In the city stadium, which was still singing in the last second, there was a sudden silence.
Everyone looked at the sudden situation on the court with a look of surprise, and they didn't know what to do.
Even the referee who witnessed this scene was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Beep!
With a sharp whistle and a halt to the game, he immediately ran to Greening, who had fallen to the ground, to check on his condition.
Seeing the clear red marks on his face and a dizzy appearance, the referee immediately beckoned to the sidelines and signaled the team doctor to enter the field.
At this time, Ling Feng put on a stunned expression at the right time, as if this kick was nothing more than an unintentional mistake.
However, his heart has already blossomed.
That's right.
This kick, Ling Feng did it on purpose!
As the saying goes, revenge is not revenge, not a gentleman,
And Ling Feng thinks that he is a righteous gentleman, and he generally does not hold grudges.
Therefore, if there is a vengeance, he will take revenge on the spot!
