Chapter 110: I Got Angry, I Thought I Saw Beckham! [4,000 Words]
With the score coming to 3-0, the game has gone into garbage time.
England besieged but did not attack, and Peru was powerless to fight back.
In the end, the game came to the last minute with the constant passing of the English players.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, a pleasant system prompt came from Ling Feng's mind:
【Ding Dong!】 】
【Achievement "Three Lions Debut"] has been achieved.
[Achievement Evaluation: B]

Ness!
You can add some points again!
After completing his first national team game, Ling Feng suddenly found that he was almost not sweating.
Is this the legendary "I don't sweat and you fall"?
At this time, Cahill, who scored the third goal of his national team in this game, also specially found Ling Feng, who assisted him, and gave him a big hug.
"That ball just now, it was a beautiful pass, it almost felt like it was hitting me on the head"
Facing his teammates who were ten years older than him, Ling Feng just smiled back,
"Gary, you are good, you have a lot of strength, the goalkeeper can't react at all."
After complimenting each other for a few words, Ling Feng suddenly felt that his relationship with Cahill had taken another step.
After the game, Ling Feng and Vardy, who made their international debuts, attended the post-match interview session with Sky Sports reporters.
"First of all, congratulations on your victory on your national team debut. Do you have any thoughts? ”
With that, the reporter handed the microphone to Vardy first.
The latter, who was visibly happy to the naked eye, replied with a smile:
"Well, first of all, I'm very happy to be able to play for my country and I'm grateful to the coach for giving me playing time."
After Vardy said that, the reporter took the microphone back, and then asked Ling Feng:
"Ling, what a great performance for his debut! You've provided assists on your FA Cup and Championship debuts, so it seems like your debut was very close to the assists."
"Haha, it's a good start to my national team career."
After a brief post-match interview, Ling Feng and Jamie Vardy returned to the dressing room together.
On the way, Vardy suddenly exclaimed to himself:
"You've got an assist on your debut, and my first goal for the national team, when will it come."
Clearly, Vardy is still feeling sorry that he didn't score on his international debut.
Hearing this, the corners of Ling Feng's mouth turned up, and he put his arms around his shoulders and said;
"What is there to brag about scoring in the warm-up game, scoring in the World Cup is the ability!"
However, this quote made Vardy's mood even lower:
"There are so many strikers in the team that I only had a chance to play in the warm-up games. By the time it came to the World Cup, I would have been on the bench and still scoring goals."
"I don't care about the rest, and I can't care about it. Anyway, as long as we're on the pitch at the same time, I'll pass you the ball! ”
"Wait for the cake!"
Hearing Ling Feng say this, Vardy's eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand:
"A word?"
Smiling, Ling Feng directly reached out and held it tightly!
"It's a deal!"
The 3-0 win over Peru was no surprise for England fans.
After all, England's nickname "The King of Warm-up Matches" is not for nothing.
If the warm-up tournament is also an important trophy, England will definitely win the championship!
In this game, the happiest thing for fans and the media was the national team debut of Ling Feng, the "new Beckham".
Although it was only a twenty-minute substitute.
However, his steady performance on the field still made Ling Feng widely praised by the media and newspapers.
'After Gerrard came off, the young midfielder took over the midfield!'
"Unlike Wilshere, his technique is not flashy and agile, but it is simple and straightforward."
"Ling Feng has taken on the offensive and defensive responsibilities of the midfielder very well, perhaps, he deserves a starting position"
Of course, the fans and football commentators who called on Ling Feng to start in the next warm-up game did not mean to take Gerrard's place, but to let Gerrard partner Ling Feng in the midfield.
After all, in this match against Peru, Henderson's performance was decent and there was not much to shine about.
In this way, England can make the team's attack more fluid through Ling Feng's passing tandem.
If the front court can suppress the opponent in the half, you can replace the defense with attack and reduce the pressure on the midfield and the backline.
And this point of view has also been recognized by many famous English legends.
Of course, there are also many people who feel that Ling Feng still needs to be familiar with the team's tactics and run in with his teammates.
The midfield combination of Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson is a tacit combination at the club.
A hasty change could lead to a loss of control in midfield.
What's more, Ling Feng had only been on the field for twenty minutes, so he couldn't make up his mind so quickly
Even if there are different opinions.
But it is undeniable to everyone that Ling Feng, an organizational midfielder who mainly passes the ball, is an extremely scarce existence in the entire Three Lions.
This young man who is not yet 19 years old has a very mature style of play and is very creative in passing.
There is no shortage of players who can score goals in England's frontcourt, whether it is Sturridge, the silver boot of the Premier League, the Red Devils' No. 10 Wayne Rooney, or Gerrard and Sterling, all have the ability to attack the goal.
However, there were only three people who were able to deliver a steady stream of shells to them.
One is Ling Feng, the other two, one is Wilshire and the other is Lallana.
However, compared to Wilshere's style of play, Ling Feng's is more straightforward.
The former likes to hold the ball at his feet, make a breakthrough push, and then make a pass;
The latter, on the other hand, basically does not hold the ball to advance, and when he sees a vacancy, he will pass the ball without hesitation, and send a comfortable pass to his teammates as soon as possible.
Lallana's style, on the other hand, is somewhere in between.
As for how to choose, it still depends on head coach Hodgson.
。。。
The small test against Peru made the coaches and players of the Three Lions more recognized Ling Feng's strength.
Back at St. George's Park, Ling Feng could feel the subtle change in the attitudes of his teammates.
Almost everyone who meets him anywhere in the base will greet him with a smile.
Some will also fist and hug him and say hello.
Six days after the first warm-up match, the Three Lions had their second warm-up match on the eve of their trip to Brazil.
The opponent is Ecuador, the "king of the plateau" of the South American powerhouse that also entered this World Cup.
The home stadium of the Ecuadorian national team is the Atajualpa Stadium in the capital city of Quito.
At 2,800 meters above sea level, this oxygen-thin stadium has made many visiting teams miserable, and it is one of the world's famous devil's home stadiums.
Taking advantage of the home advantage, Ecuador broke through in the world preliminaries and was able to enter the main match of this World Cup.
Speaking of which, England can be regarded as the bitter lord of Ecuador.
Eight years ago, in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Germany, England faced Ecuador.
In that match, it was Beckham's scimitar that he was able to defeat Ecuador and advance to the quarterfinals.
It's just that this time it's not at home in the highlands of Ecuador, but at Wembley in the Three Lions!
The Ecuadorian squad also has stars that Ling Feng is familiar with, such as Antonio Valencia, one of the four kings of darkness who plays all over the world, and Enner Valencia, the future captain of Ecuador.
Perhaps to see how the rest of the players performed, Hodgson rotated his starting lineup in full swing for this game.
Except for the goalkeeper, the remaining ten people were all changed.
Due to the fact that England wingers such as Walcott, Lennon and Oxlade-Chamberlain are either in poor form or are injured and reimbursed, the Three Lions' winger lineup is extremely thin.
Seriously counted, there is only one orthodox winger in "Happy Boy" Sterling.
Therefore, Vardy, who has good speed and impact, got the chance to start and still plays as a left winger.
It is worth mentioning that Ling Feng also got the opportunity to start after coming off the bench in the last game.
However, instead of playing as a midfielder or central midfielder, Hodgson was placed as a right winger!
This arrangement not only surprised England fans and football commentators, but also made the Ecuadorian coach a little confused.
You must know that Ling Feng has never played as a winger before.
Although there have been many times in the league with Riyad Mahrez, organizing attacks on the right wing.
However, in England's tactical system, wingers need to break through and burst with speed to tear apart the defence one-on-one on the flanks and create a threat.
It was just these two things, Ling Feng had never shown superior ability in the competition!
While everyone was puzzled, Hodgson and the England players were very calm.
Because, only they know how strong Ling Feng's explosive power is!
After winning the FA Cup for the first time in the team's history, Ling Feng gained six free attribute points.
Combined with the two free stat points that made his international debut and first assist, he has eight attribute points at his disposal.
And Ling Feng added six of them to the [Explosion], bringing it to a terrifying 95!
Then, he also added the remaining two points to [Speed].
Therefore, with his current explosiveness, even if he starts directly on the side, he can basically pass 98% of the fullbacks in football!
Of course, after three meters, you will be caught up by your opponent because of your slow back-up speed.
However, the three-metre lead was enough for him to put a pose on the pitch and then get up and cross!
After the start of the game, all the fans and TV viewers who watched the game were pleasantly surprised to find that Hodgson's move was simply a stroke of genius!
Moving from the middle to the right did not make Ling Feng feel any discomfort, but allowed him to give full play to his passing advantages.
Because, compared to the densely defended middle, the wings have fewer defenders and more space.
And on the right side, for Ling Feng, whose habitual foot is the right foot, the cross is more calm!
As soon as it came up, the Three Lions, who were almost all substitutes, suppressed Ecuador, who were all black brothers, in the loud singing of tens of thousands of home fans at home.
Under Hodgson's explanation, his teammates were very willing to pass the ball to Ling Feng to organize.
Ling Feng's role in this game is not so much a winger, but a wing forward or a wing organization core!
This tactic of pulling the side of the forward midfield is actually a change in football tactics in the future.
Allowing a midfielder with speed to play to the edge of the ball and a vision of the midfielder, then delivering a cross for a striker, or an inverted triangle back to the back, can make the most of the side-centre.
It can be said that under the premise of arranging tactics according to Ling Feng's technical characteristics, Hodgson mistakenly came up with the advanced tactic of "pulling the edge of the front waist" in advance!
And the core of the Blue Foxes' midfield, a young man known as the "new Beckham", repeatedly won the ball on the right side, like the most dangerous player in England in the game.
Many older England fans looked at the black-haired young man wearing the number 15 jersey and sent extremely accurate crosses on the right side, and they all showed incredible expressions.
They also thought they had seen the captain of the Three Lions who wore the number seven jersey and led them to victory after victory!
It's just that compared with Beckham's 45-degree cross, Ling Feng's curling cross on the right side is more elusive.
Frequent crosses in the area between the goalkeeper and defenders made it extremely uncomfortable for both the Ecuadorian goalkeeper and defenders.
The goalkeeper did not dare to attack, for fear that if the ball was not confiscated, the opponent would miss the empty goal;
The defender did not dare to stretch out his feet to intercept, for fear of missing the ball, but let the ball fly towards his own goal.
Moreover, compared to Beckham, who is not fast, Ling Feng's terrifying explosive power was fully demonstrated to the world for the first time in this game!
He only needs to flick the ball forward with the instep of his foot, and make a soup to easily pass the defenders in front of him.
Then immediately get up and cross!
According to the statistics after the game, Ling Feng sent a whopping seven threatening passes in this game!
And six of those were curling crosses from the right flank!
Four of those were connected with team-mates, either with headers or low shots from the inverted triangle.
In the end, he provided two assists to help the Three Lions win 2-0 with Ecuador and become the Man of the Match of the Match.
And this victory has made England fans and football people happy.
If the last game against Peru was a complete victory, it was because there was a clear gap in the strength of the two sides.
And this time, in the face of Ecuador, which had played back and forth with the Three Lions in the World Cup, the Three Lions showed a dominant performance!
The whole field almost pressed Ecuador to play, especially on the left side, and was beaten by Ling Feng alone!
In terms of the number of shots on goal, England had thirteen and Ecuador had only three!
And most importantly, they saw the shadow of Beckham in Ling Feng!
After the game, the Times directly used a photo of Ling Feng getting up and crossing in the game on the front page of sports, and then accompanied it with a photo of Beckham's cross.
The title of the front page is full of gimmicks:
"The Three Lions have a new David Beckham!"
