Coming off the bench in the 70th minute, Ling Feng's Three Lions had only 20 minutes to play on their debut.

Although it was the first time he played the role of central midfielder in an official competition, and it was also on his national team debut.

However, for Ling Feng, who has often dropped back to receive the ball at Leicester City, it was nothing more than fixing him in a midfield position.

Catching the ball, passing the ball, running the open space, basically the same way you play at the club.

It's just that it's not that close to the goal, so there are fewer shots on goal.

With club team-mate Jamie Vardy playing as a left winger, he was also deployed to the left of the centre, alongside Jordan Henderson in midfield.

After kicking off again, Peru first controlled the ball at its feet and then organized a wave of positional attacks.

England, who led by two goals, except for Vardy, who had just made his national team debut, was full of momentum, and the frontcourt players basically did not press.

In their opinion, it is already two goals ahead, and it is still a friendly game, so there is no need to press so hard.

At the back, Peru played a smooth pass and went straight to the midfield.

Looking at Pizarro, the big center with his back in front, the Peruvian midfielder planned to pass through the middle of Ling Feng and Henderson with a straight kick and directly penetrate the midfield.

However, at the moment when he passed the ball, he was surprised to find that the very young black-haired England player, as if he had seen through him in advance, took a big stride to the right and happened to intercept the through ball!

This just right interception drew cheers from the scene.

"How did he know I was going to pass it to the middle?!"

Just when the Peruvian players were puzzled, Ling Feng directly made a short pass and passed the ball to Rooney in front.

However, after the pass, he didn't plug in at high speed, but moved forward slowly.

From time to time, I don't forget to turn my head to observe, so that the distance between myself and Henderson is not too far.

After getting the ball, Rooney quickly turned around, took advantage of the fact that no one was marked in front of the big penalty area, and shot directly from a distance!

However, the shot was too powerful and went just over the crossbar.

After finishing the shot, Rooney didn't forget to give Ling Feng a thumbs up and give him a thumbs up.

After Ling Feng came on the field, whether it was the coaches and players of both sides or the fans on the scene, it could be seen that England's control in the midfield was significantly better.

Because he won't press on the attack like Gerrard, but stick to the midfield position, providing some interceptions and coverage.

Moreover, his play is clean and his passing style is varied, making it difficult to steal the ball from his feet.

In an instant, Ling Feng became the midfield commander of the Three Lions, using his passing dispatch to constantly move Peru's formation left and right, and also firmly controlled the pace of the game in the hands of England.

Although it was only the first time to cooperate with teammates in an official match.

However, he knows exactly what every team-mate is doing.

And under Ling Feng's control, Peru's counterattack has completely disappeared.

Looking at Ling Feng's performance so mature and comfortable on the field, whether it was the fans on the scene or the coaches and players of the Peruvian team, one would pop up in his mind

'Is he really the first time he has played for England?'

As for Ling Feng's plug and play, he showed the same solid performance as the club, and Hodgson, who was sitting in the coach's seat, nodded with satisfaction.

The assistant coach next to him, Livington, couldn't help but sigh:

"This young man has a reassuring leadership temperament!"

。。。

As the game deepened, ten minutes after coming on as a substitute, Ling Feng finally got his own performance moment:

In the 80th minute, Jamie Vardy's breakthrough along the touchline on the left flank resulted in a foul by a Peruvian player.

England were awarded a set-piece in the area to the left of the pitch near the touchline.

Originally, the team's first penalty taker for free kicks was captain Steven Gerrard.

Then there's Wayne Rooney.

In training and confrontation matches, Ling Feng's passing strength won the recognition of his coach and teammates, and thus became the third choice of free kick penalty takers.

The ball was too far away from the goal, about 30 meters away, to shoot directly.

So, after Gerrard left the field, Rooney, who was the captain on the field, threw the ball directly to Ling Feng:

"Ling, you will be punished."

With that, he trotted into the box, intending to grab points with the other strikers.

It's part of set-piece tactics.

With the advancement of football tactics, both club teams and national teams are increasingly focusing on the attacking efficiency of set-piece tactics.

Especially in a close dialogue, when the athletic battle cannot break the opponent's goal, set-pieces are a very threatening tool.

The Three Lions, on the other hand, have been very focused on the quality of their wide crosses since the Beckham era.

442 crosses from the wings, directly looking for strikers, used to be England's best style of play.

After all, there are players in the team who have been teleported to the head for a long time like Beckham, and it is a waste not to make good use of it.

Although David Beckham has been out of the Three Lions for a long time, the team's tactical approach has also undergone a change.

However, with Ling Feng, a talented passer who has been touted by the media as the "new Beckham", Hodgson certainly wants to make a fuss about set-pieces.

Ling Feng was not polite, and directly took the ball to the foul place.

He put the ball away, then took three steps back before he stopped.

Although the shirt on his body has changed from the blue of Leicester City to the white of the Three Lions.

However, the fierceness in Ling Feng's eyes did not change at all.

He looked at his teammate's position in the box and raised his right hand.

Immediately after, run-up, cross!

The ball is fast and spinning.

Draw an inside arc in the air at Wembley and fly straight to the back of the goal!

Most of the English and Peruvian players were crowded into the front and middle posts.

The ball flew over everyone's heads, attracting the attention of everyone in the audience.

And just as everyone turned their heads to look, Cahill, who came to the back of the goal in advance, jumped up!

Boom!

Shake your head and hit the goal!

The Peruvian goalkeeper didn't even have time to react before the ball smashed into the goal from his side!

Once on the ground, Cahill spread his arms, turned and raced towards the corner flag area to deliver a Chelsea uppercut!

After completing the celebration, Cahill did not forget to point his hands to Ling Feng, who assisted him, to express his gratitude.

And Ling Feng also raised his right hand and sent a thumbs up to Cahill, who scored the goal.

In this way, Ling Feng lightly completed his first assist in the Three Lions!

And only eleven minutes have passed since he came off the bench!

This also continues one of his personal records, which is that he contributed assists on his debut for the club in all competitions and for the national team!

It's not like no one has done anything like this before.

However, if he can still provide an assist on his World Cup debut, this record will be the only one of its kind!

The 4,000-word chapter of the second update is being written!

It must be updated before 12 o'clock!
