"Nice break!"

"It's over!"

"Ling Feng. Cross! ”

Ling Feng's arc cross was a world away from the one Sturridge passed just now.

The ball made a wonderful inside arc in the air, just past a centre-back in front of him and towards the goal spot in the six-yard box.

At this time, Rooney just got rid of the entanglement of another central defender and headed for the ball.

He is very precise with the ball.

The moment the ball bounced off the ground, Rooney swung his right leg and slapped the ball with the inside of his foot with precision.

In the next second, the ball "bang" and shot towards the goal!

The moment Rooney shot the goal, not only Ling Feng, but even other teammates, as well as the England fans in the stadium, thought that the goal was there!

It's already in the small box, it's too close, and the ball is fast.

It stands to reason that no matter how fast the goalkeeper reacts, it is impossible to save Rooney's shot.

However, Keylor Navas was in a very good position in front of goal, placing it in the far corner of the net to block the near corner.

So much so that this close-range shot actually hit his left shoulder and flew out of the bottom line by grazing the goalpost!

Seeing this, a sigh suddenly sounded in the Minerlang Stadium!

Seeing that such a close shot did not penetrate the goal guarded by Navas, Rooney held his head in his hands and looked incredulous.

Rubbing his face vigorously, Rooney didn't forget to turn around and give a thumbs up to Ling Feng, who had passed a good ball.

Seeing this, Ling Feng suddenly remembered a certain big black man wearing a red Manchester United jersey, who also liked to praise his teammates who passed the ball after the shot did not score.

This made Ling Feng couldn't help but muttered in his heart:

Do you Manchester United strikers like to like it so much?

Or is it Manchester United's corporate culture?

Although there was no goal, this volley still received a round of applause from the fans at the scene.

As England's top star and the Three Lions' top scorer, they would have liked Wayne Rooney to score at the World Cup.

Ling Feng came to the corner flag area and prepared to take the corner kick.

Since showing his unique passing prowess in training and in games, he has largely taken on the likes of the Three Lions from long distances and corners.

This can be regarded as a kind of coach's affirmation of him and the improvement of his status in the national team.

In just five games, he became an indispensable part of the Three Lions!

England centre-back duo Gary Cahill and Jagielka also arrived in Costa Rica's penalty area.

For a while, the entire penalty area was full of players on both sides pushing and shoving!

Set-pieces are an effective means of breaking down dense defences.

As long as the set-pieces are played well, they can create a threat in front of goal or create chaos.

At this time, Ling Feng glanced at Gerard, who was standing outside the line of the big forbidden area, with only one person being on the defensive, and a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"Rahim!"

Following the prestige, Sterling saw Ling Feng beckoning to him.

The former looked puzzled, but obediently ran to the corner flag area.

"Dude, what's wrong?"

Covering his mouth with his hand, Ling Feng said in a deep voice:

"Let's cooperate. Later you pass the ball back to me, and I'll cross it inside and play a time difference. ”

Hearing this, Sterling raised his eyebrows, then nodded in response:

"Okay!"

The brief exchange between the two was seen by everyone.

"Ling didn't take a corner kick directly, but called Sterling to his side and said something."

"Are they going to play a tactic?"

With the commentator's doubts, the referee blew the whistle.

With a "beep", Sterling, who was running back, suddenly ran back and rushed to the corner flag area.

And Ling Feng directly passed a short pass to him.

Seeing England take a tactical corner, the opposing defenders immediately pressed it up, preventing Sterling from easily turning around and breaking through.

You must know that in the past two games, Sterling's ability to blast on the wing is the sharpest point of the entire Three Lions.

Before the game, Costa Rica's head coach Pinto also stressed this point to his players.

When Sterling catches the ball, you must keep an eye on the ball and don't let him turn around and break through!

However, Sterling did not stop the ball, but directly knocked the ball back to Ling Feng who was a little later.

The latter swings his right leg sharply and crosses with his feet!

Ling Feng's cross almost made a goal just now.

Now, how can Costa Rica's players let him cross easily?!

"Don't let him cross!"

"Push it up!"

Amid the shouts of his teammates, the Costa Rican left-back immediately gave up on Sterling and jumped up directly, trying to block Ling Feng's cross with his body.

In the penalty area, players from both sides also pushed and shoved, trying to fight for a favorable position and compete for a header.

Teammates, opponents, fans on both sides at the scene, everyone thought that Ling Feng was ready to cross.

Even the live broadcast camera was deceived by Ling Feng's actions and moved directly to the restricted area.

But it didn't come to pass, the moment Ling Feng finally swung his leg to touch the ball, he unloaded most of his strength and bent his ankle.

In the next second, the ball shot out!

However, the direction in which the ball flew out was not in the crowded penalty area, but clinging to the turf and rolling towards the middle of the road at high speed!

This pass was unexpected by everyone.

"Cross!"

"No, it's a low ball!"

At the same time, at the sight of the incoming ball, Gerrard suddenly tensed up and started to speed up.

He ran straight past the Costa Rican midfielder and captain Ruiz who was marking him, and met the ball with a furious shot!

"Jay~~~ Rad!!"

With the narrator's loud voice, the ball flew out like a cannonball!

It is worth mentioning that the ball did not spin at all, but as if it was still in the air, hanging straight into the top right corner of the goal.

Perhaps it was because there were so many people in the box that blocked the view, and when the ball flew through the crowd and towards the goal, it was too late for Navas to react.

Even if he flew to save at the first time, he could only watch the ball drill into the upper right corner of the goal, and slammed into the white net with a "swish", causing ripples!

In the next second, cheers rang out in the entire Minelo Stadium!

"Captain England!"

"He made a meritorious !!"

"What a beautiful long shot! It was a shot that reminded me of that night in Istanbul."

Under the passionate voice of the commentator, Gerrard chatted about the boyishness, rushed all the way to the stands where the England fans were, and came to a sliding kneeling.

After sliding to his knees, he took advantage of the situation to come with a Liverpool uppercut and roared:

“Come On！！！”

Seeing this, the English fans in the stands shouted "Gerrard" and rushed to the stands excitedly.

One by one, the fans of England were red-faced and excited.

The camera also showed former England captain David Beckham watching the game from the stands.

Beckham just stood up and applauded his successor in the national team with a smile on his face.

Amid the cheers and applause in the stadium, the other Three Lions players also rushed to Gerrard's side and surrounded him.

Turning around, Gerrard immediately hugged Ling Feng, who passed the ball to him:

"Ling, good pass!"

"Steven, what a handsome long shot! If you have time, you must teach me! ”

As one of the top heavy gunners in the Three Lions and world football, Ling Feng believes that under Gerrard's guidance, his [Long Shot] attribute can increase by a few points!

Hearing this, Gerald smiled lightly and immediately agreed:

"Haha, no problem!"

After hugging one by one, Sterling suddenly blocked Ling Feng's way.

"Ling, didn't you just say that it was a direct cross? You even lied to your teammates?! ”

In the face of Sterling's joking "questioning", Ling Feng just smiled and explained:

"That's the key to this pass! If even you don't know where I'm going, how can the opponent know that I'm going to pass the ball directly to Steven?! ”

Hearing this, Sterling was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

This does make sense.

However, this guy, who is half a year younger than himself, is too cunning!

Thankfully, he's my teammate

Looking at Sterling, who was a little stunned, Ling Feng just raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said in an old-fashioned manner:

"The next time you have the chance, you can try this trick too."

As the replay of the goal was broadcast on television in various countries around the world, many commentators made their own comments:

"Half of the credit for this goal goes to England's No. 15 Ling Feng!"

"His feint is similar to Andrea Pirlo's missed goal in England against Italy in the first round! have deceived the whole world! ”

"He's Andrea Pirlo of England!"

"This is Ling Feng's second assist in three games. With one goal and two assists in three group games, the 19-year-old England is showing the world his incredible talent in the World Cup for the first time! ”

"Sadly, if he had provided an assist in his last game, he would have become the first player to provide an assist in three consecutive World Cup matches."

Yes.

If Raheem Sterling had scored that single goal in his last game against Uruguay, Ling Feng could have set a new record and become the first player to have an assist in three consecutive World Cup games!

It's a pity that Ling Feng doesn't know this.

If he knew, he would have to at least give Sterling a slap in the eye.

Made, can you be so happy?!

Wasted me an assist.

。。。

Twentieth minute of the game.

With Gerrard's long-range shot piercing the Costa Rica goal, the score came to 1-0!

The progress of the game is very beneficial for England.

If the score remains until the final whistle, England will finish second in the group and join Costa Rica in the second place, regardless of the score of the other Italy vs Uruguay match!

After falling behind, Costa Rica did not change their tactics and pressed out the formation, but continued to maintain the defensive posture of 541.

With the reassuring encouragement of the Costa Rican head coach and captain Ruiz, the morale of the Costa Rican players did not fluctuate much.

After all, this kind of inexplicable long-range world wave really can't be blamed on the goalkeeper or the backline.

The main reason is that Ling Feng's feints are too realistic, and Gerrard's long-range shot is too beautiful.

The flash of inspiration of this kind of star is often impossible to predict or prevent in advance.

A star is able to do things that ordinary players can't!

After taking the lead, the Three Lions players were more confident on the pitch.

The result of overconfidence led to the front players of the Three Lions, one by one, eager to incarnate Gerrard, and take the ball and shoot at the goal guarded by Navas.

Among them, Sturridge is the most "confident"

Sterling's frequent upheaval on the right flank has attracted Costa Rica's focus on the defence.

And the crowd in the middle was too dense to pass a through ball to Rooney.

Therefore, Ling Feng could only move the ball to the left side of the weak side again, allowing Sturridge to create a threat on the left side.

However, every time he got the ball at his feet, Sturridge simply dribbled and broke away.

Sturridge in the 13~14 season is definitely one of the strongest strikers in the Premier League!

His speed, his footwork, his marksmanship, it's all top-notch.

Especially seeing that even Gerrard has scored, as the main striker of the Three Lions, he has not yet scored.

Sturridge couldn't help but be a little anxious.

However, the more impatient he is to score goals, the more he wants to solve problems with his individual ability.

But in front of Costa Rica's tight and united defence, the more they go it alone, the more they can't score.

Obviously, he has attracted two or three players on the left flank, and as long as he passes the ball to the middle, Ling Feng or Rooney can get space to shoot with their feet.

But he just doesn't pass it on!

Either you force a shot and get blocked by your opponent; Either you get caught in the bag and get stolen.

After Sturridge conceded a number of goals, Costa Rica, who rarely had the ball, launched a quick counter-attack directly from the wing.

There was even a time when it went straight into the heart of England and almost formed a cross.

Had it not been for the concentration of left-back Baines who stretched out his foot to block the opposition's pass, he might have posed a certain threat in front of England's goal.

It's just a little bit of a thing.

After Sturridge conceded the goal, he didn't go all out to chase it back!

That's unacceptable!

Although the team leads the score, it is still very demoralizing to concede the ball so often because of individual dribbling.

Even if Ling Feng was very unhappy with Sturridge's lone forcing behavior and his lazy attitude after losing the ball.

But he resisted the urge to scold.

It's just that he has already made a mental plan not to pass the ball to Sturridge again.

Made, you like to bring, don't you, you don't like to pass the ball, right?

Don't pass you the ball, see what else you bring!

However, just because he doesn't say anything doesn't mean that other teammates will get used to his stinky problems!

After another dribbling was tackled and the ball was not returned, Gerrard wiped his ass on the wing and shoveled the opponent's pass off the touchline, and the Three Lions captain scolded directly:

"Daniel! How many times have you stepped on a horse! Why don't you chase back after conceding a goal?! ”

"Also, pass the ball to your teammates! If you're so alone, you'll get out of the game! ”

As captain of Liverpool and England, Steven Gerrard's leadership ability and majesty are unquestionable.

In the face of Gerald's fragrant mouth, Sturridge didn't dare to say a word, but just gave Gerald a timid thumbs up, indicating that he knew.

Looking at this scene, Ling Feng raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but give Gerald a thumbs up in his heart:

Good scolding!

The first chapter is being posted, the second chapter is being written, and if it can't be finished, it will be added tomorrow.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll have to make up for it!
