When: March 29

Where: Turf Moore Stadium

As the Burnley fans sang the team song "Dare to Dream", the players of both teams led their caddies through the tunnel and slowly walked onto the pitch.

"Welcome to the 39th round of the Championship as Burnley host top-ranked Leicester City..."

"It's not just a matchup between first and second in the standings, it's a direct clash of champions this season..."

During the team handshake session, Ling Feng shook hands with Burnley's starters one by one.

There are a couple of players in the Burnley squad that Ling Feng is quite familiar with.

For example, goalkeeper Heaton, right-back Kieran Trippier...

And the most threatening player in the opposing team is naturally the "red wine double gun" on the team's forward line

Danny Inces, and Vaux!

Both are strikers who could establish themselves in the Premier League in the future.

Ings made a name for himself at Burnley and later moved to Liverpool, Southampton and other teams, where he excelled in his marksmanship.

Vokes was a regular centre-forward for the Welsh national team and went on to make more than 200 appearances for Burnley.

The strikers have combined to score 35 goals in the Championship this season, accounting for half of the team's goals, and have been responsible for Burnley's top two.

However, it is a pity that they met the newly formed Championship super trio "Blue Fox Three Musketeers"

With the help of Ling Feng, Vardy and Mahrez, Leicester City has been riding the dust since January, directly opening up the points gap with Burnley.

In just three months, the trio combined to score a total of 40 goals!

This direct duel is also of great significance to Burnley.

Because, this may be their last chance to compete for the title.

A win over Leicester would see the gap between the two teams change from 14 points to 11 points.

With eight league games remaining, as long as Leicester lose four of them and Burnley win all eight, they still have a theoretical chance of winning the title.

Although no one at Burnley thought Leicester would go crazy at the last minute.

But what if...

Of course, even in order to secure a promotion place in advance, and for the slim chance of winning the title, Burnley wants to end Leicester's winning streak at home!

。。。

Both sides are well prepared for this important match.

In the last game, both teams carried out a full rotation to allow the main players to get a certain rest.

Therefore, in this game, the main players of both teams also appeared.

Because of the importance of the game, the FA even sent in a young Premier League referee Michael Oliver to officiate the game.

However, when Ling Feng saw this old brother, he immediately felt that this game was destined to not be simple.

You know, this is one of the famous "blind man" of the Premier League!

"Playing at home, Burnley led by Shaun Dyche set up a 442 formation, with four midfielders standing in parallel."

"Goalkeeper No. 1 Heaton, back four at the back are..."

"The midfielders from left to right, respectively..."

"Up front is paired with No. 10 Danny Ings and Vokes."

"The visitors Leicester City have followed their 4231 formation since February..."

As the commentator finished introducing the starting lineups of the two teams, the game also officially began with a whistle from referee Oliver!

Burn kicks off first.

Burnley's style of play is very British, that is, long balls are rushed, and crosses are sent from the wings.

The main responsibility of the two midfielders is to defend and keep an eye on Ling Feng's exit point.

The main attacking tactics were to make low crosses through two wings, directly to the attacking duo of Ings and Vokes.

Vokes is 1.86 meters tall, tough against tough opponents, excellent headers, and a typical fulcrum center.

And Ings is less than 1.8 meters, speed and explosion, outstanding sense of smell in front of the goal, and many goals are scored by grabbing points.

The technical characteristics of the two just complement each other.

Considering Ings' ability to snatch points in the box, Pearson brought on youngster Moore, who turned faster, to partner captain Morgan in central defence.

Occupying the home advantage, in the cheers of the fans, Bourne's interest rate knocked the mountain first.

In the seventh minute, Burnley attacked from the right.

Right-back Kieran Trippier played the ball to right-back Kettley and then raced along the touchline from the right wing.

A simple one-two, it passed the Nugent defense zone on the left flank, and went directly to Leicester City's half, facing Schlupp at left-back.

Kieran Trippier, who will become future Newcastle captain and England right-back, has been a very important attacking starter for Burnley this season.

It was with his excellent crosses and footwork that he repeatedly delivered shells to the front line and contributed eight assists!

And this time, Trippier didn't continue to dribble the ball to the baseline, but looked up at the position of the two forward teammates in the penalty area, and crossed directly with his right foot!

Simple and brutal!

Even in the middle of the pull of Morgan, who was as strong as the Black Tower, Vaux jumped up and rubbed the top of his head.

The ball was swung to goal, causing chaos in the box.

And just before Schmeichel was about to attack and take the ball down, Inces, who had just gotten rid of Moore's entanglement, reached his body and stretched his foot forward to shoot a cushion!

Faced with the ball flying close at hand, Schmeichel subconsciously stretched out his hands and lifted the ball up.

With a "bang", the ball flew off the crossbar of the goal!

"Wow! Schmeichel makes a fantastic save! ”

"It's a pity that Ings's shot is too right..."

"It was the first shot of the game..."

After making the save, Schmeichel Jr. did not forget to remind the defenders to concentrate after punching with the defenders.

"Keep an eye on people!"

"Don't let them get the first point!"

And Ings, who missed the great opportunity in front of the goal, held his head in his hands and looked incredulous.

Burnley then took a corner.

And this time, Moore grabbed the first point, jumped directly and pushed the ball out of the penalty area, clearing the danger.

After a number of rounds of attacking and defending, Leicester City were in possession again.

Under Ling Feng's organizational response, the overall formation of the Blue Foxes pressed up, and soon came to Burnley's half.

Looking at Burnley midfielder Jones, who was pressing up with a fierce face, Ling Feng twitched the corner of his mouth and knocked the ball to Mahrez on the right without hesitation.

With the ball at his feet, Mahrez came alive in an instant.

Those slender legs, as if full of magic, danced, dizzying.

When he dribbled on the right flank to attract two defenders, Mahrez, who found that there was no space to break through, immediately passed back to Ling Feng, who came to answer.

However, what everyone didn't expect, happened:

In the next second, Ling Feng didn't even look up to observe, and directly rubbed a curved cross into the penalty area without stopping the ball!

This kick cross is like a rainbow that cuts through the sky after rain, which is fascinating.

With a slight spin, the ball flew towards the far post.

As all eyes were on the ball, the Burnley players were surprised to find that they had missed space at the back post!

Nugent, who was plugged in from the left back, came straight to the top with a fish-leap to the top.

Bang, smash the ball into the goal!
