August 10th.

With less than a week to go before the Premier League kicks off, major media magazines, TV commentators and football experts have written op-eds to provide an analysis and preview of the upcoming Premier League season:

First of all, there are strong contenders for the Premier League title this year!

Most media magazines and football experts believe that this season's champions will be won by defending champions Manchester City and the "Blues" Chelsea.

Last season, with Alex Ferguson's retirement, the Red Devils empire he built with his own hands collapsed.

The Premier League has officially entered the era of competition!

Last season's Premier League title contenders were Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool, all of which had a chance to win the championship.

In the first half, Arsenal took the lead at one point.

But after the winter window, Arsenal unsurprisingly began to drop the chain.

Under the super play of "biting sharp" Suarez, Liverpool has maintained the suspense of the championship until the last few rounds.

It's a pity that Gerrard's slip made the whole season's efforts come to naught.

With Chelsea's help, Manchester City completed the comeback to win the title.

And this season, Suarez left Barcelona, even if he brought in players such as Lallana, Lovren, Lambert and Emre Can, it could not fill the attack of the Premier League's Golden Boot.

And Arsenal has always liked to drop the chain, and there is no championship appearance at all.

Although because of Theo Walcott's injury and Podolski's lack of ability to blast on the wing, Wenger gritted his teeth and spent £35 million to take down Barcelona's "thigh" Sanchez.

The midfield continues to be strong in attacking creativity and competitiveness.

However, with the transfer of captain Vermaelen to Barcelona and the transfer of Sagna and Jurou, Newcastle defender Debich and young player Chambers have been added relatively well.

The much-criticized lack of depth in the midfield will certainly be a hidden danger for the Gunners in this long season.

As a result, most football pundits are still optimistic about Manchester City and Chelsea competing for the title this season.

Although the former was affected by the fair play policy, it did not scatter coins everywhere.

However, the "Chilean Engineer" Pellegrini still brought Fernando, Sagna, Mangala, Caballero and other midfield players to the blue moon.

Coupled with the championship squad framework of Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Yaya Toure, Kompany, Joe Hart and others, it has not had much impact.

A stable squad framework and morale are the capital for them to continue to compete for the championship this season!

The latter officially entered the second year of Mu.

The so-called "two years of Mourinho" refers to Mourinho's second season in charge of the team, which is often the period when the team is the most combative.

Most of the titles in the Portuguese "madman's" coaching career were won during the second year of Mu.

Moreover, this season, Chelsea has frequently attacked the transfer market, buying the "prosperous beauty" Diego Costa, the "little French" Fabregas, and the "old monster" Drogba

Last season's lack of offensive firepower has been solved, and this season's madmen will surely aim for the championship!

Of course, the Premier League title race has little to do with Leicester City.

In the eyes of the vast majority of people, Leicester City can be relegated this season, even if it is successful!

This season's relegation situation will certainly be as fierce as ever.

In the Premier League, there is a so-called 40-point relegation standard line.

In other words, if you want to be relegated in the Premier League, you can get 40 points in 38 rounds of the league, which is basically stable.

Of course, this statement is not absolute.

Two extreme examples:

In the 04~05 season, West Brom only got 34 points and still succeeded in relegation;

West Ham United, the "Hammers Gang" in the 02~03 season, took 42 points and was still relegated!

As a result, the media and football experts have listed five teams that could be struggling in the relegation zone:

Southampton, Hull City, Leicester City, Burnley, Queens Park Rangers!

Southampton, who finished eighth in the league last season as a dark horse, have been dismembered this season!

Manager Mauricio Pochettino was poached by Tottenham.

Buying Suarez, Liverpool, who has a huge amount of money, will pack up the three core players in the team, Lallana, Lovren, and Lambert, and take them away.

Coupled with Luke Shaw, who was favored by Manchester United, Southampton almost ate a casual meal.

With such a big loss of squad for a while, it's no wonder that the public is not optimistic about Southampton's prospects;

Hull City, who focused on the FA Cup last season, are in danger of relegation.

Hull City, on the other hand, is financially struggling and unable to make too targeted reinforcements.

Moreover, judging from the team's style of play, the offensive ability in the front court is insufficient, and it is difficult to score goals.

However, Bruce didn't care too much, buying Tottenham central defender Dawson, League One air leader Harry Maguire, Scottish wingback Andrew Robertson and other players to continue to strengthen the depth of the midfield lineup.

Obviously, he knows the truth that "offense wins the game, defense wins the championship"!

The remaining three teams are the promoted horses who have just come out of the Championship this season.

Burnley basically did not spend much money on transfers, and the signings were basically veterans, and they had no Premier League experience and limited strength.

Obviously, the Burnley boss just wants to get over the Premier League addiction and return to the Championship after earning a wave of broadcast fees.

Queens Park Rangers are back in the Premier League under new manager Redknapp Sr.

Lao Lei, who has many years of coaching experience in the Premier League and won the Premier League Coach of the Season, knows that the water in the Premier League is very deep.

Like Bruce, he is also focused on strengthening his midfield and intends to establish himself defensively.

After all, QPR is not like Tottenham Hotspur a few years ago, with talented stars such as Bale, Van der Vaart, and Luka Modric.

Pragmatically doing a good job of defense and taking every point is the key to the survival of weak teams in the Premier League!

Finally, there is Leicester City, the "Championship hegemon" who has beaten invincible opponents in the Championship.

Throughout the summer window, Leicester City's transfer operation can be said to have satisfied and excited fans!

In particular, the addition of a former giant star like Cambiaso is surprising.

Commentators from TV stations such as Football Legends, Sky Sports and BBC Sport, as well as many football journalists and pundits, including fans, believe that Leicester City have a good chance of avoiding relegation this season.

Even the top half of the rankings will not come as a surprise.

Without him, the core of the blue fox is Ling Feng, the rising star of the British Emperor!

In the eyes of football experts and fans, Leicester City's results largely depend on the performance of the trio of Ling Feng, Vardy and Mahrez.

If the strongest trident in the Championship can adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League in a short period of time, the team's attack will definitely be able to cause problems for other Premier League teams!

Especially Ling Feng, who is only 19 years old and has the core responsibility of the team, can play the role of a big man in a small team and lead Leicester City to gain a firm foothold in the Premier League, which will be a huge test for him!

At the Three Lions, he has already shown a certain level of leadership and a big heart in key matches.

As long as the Blue Foxes will be around him and united, relegation will not be a problem at all.

Judging from the odds given in the betting market, Leicester City's relegation odds are still higher than Burnley, Queens Park Rangers and Hull City.

This shows that Volkswagen is also optimistic that they can succeed in relegation.

After beating the Bundesliga team Bremen, the morale and atmosphere in the dressing room of Leicester City are very relaxed and harmonious.

Head coach Pearson did not shout any slogans of "relegation" and "impact in the middle".

Just tell the players over and over again, don't be under pressure, just play at the right level of training on the pitch.

As promoted horses, they have almost zero expectations on their backs, they just have to play to their best on the field.

We will know what the result will be!

In Ling Feng's view, Leicester City's relegation in the Premier League is simply a piece of cake.

Relegation, in fact, you don't need to take 40 points at all.

Of the twenty teams in the Premier League, the three teams with the lowest points will be relegated.

Then, as long as Leicester City can be ranked fourth from the bottom, they will be able to succeed in relegation!

In other words, they only need to have more points than the other three Premier League teams to be relegated.

The three promoted teams from the Championship to the Premier League are Burnley and Queens Park Rangers in addition to Leicester City.

These two teams are the main rivals for Leicester City's relegation.

But these two teams are defeated by Leicester City in the Championship.

Whether it's him, Jamie Vardy or Riyad Mahrez, they've gone through the World Cup and become stronger.

Coupled with the addition of new signings such as Cambiasso, Lingard, Ulloa, Albrighton, etc., the squad and strength of the team are also much stronger than during the Championship period.

Ling Feng said with complete confidence, against these two teams, he will win!

Winning four home and away games against Burnley and Queens Park Rangers is a 12-point game for an old dog.

With some points on other mid-to-lower teams, relegation is a breeze.

Of course, Ling Feng's goal has never been to lead Leicester City to relegation in the Premier League.

Not only in the Premier League, but also in the Europa League, he wants to help the team go as far as possible!

。。。

On August 12th, there are four days left before the official start of the 14~15 season of the Premier League.

On this day, after Ling Feng completed the training session with the team, he took a shower, changed into training clothes, and came to the media interview room to be interviewed by a reporter from Sky Sports.

This interview is part of Sky Sports' Premier League preview.

The main thing is to interview the managers and players of the 20 teams in the Premier League and ask them to talk about their feelings and goals for the new season.

As the first person in Leicester City's cards and appearance, Ling Feng is naturally the best.

Sitting on the chair and facing the camera, Ling Feng showed a bright smile and greeted the camera:

"Hey guys, this is Ling Feng. Welcome to Sky Sports! ”

"Ling, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"How do you feel about your first Premier League game coming up soon?"

"I'm excited, I'm excited. Playing in the Premier League was my childhood dream and now it's a dream come true! ”

"What do you think is the difference between the Championship and the Premier League?"

"The Premier League is definitely more difficult than the Championship. The Premier League has the best coaches and players"

"You won all four of our pre-season games, does that mean you're ready for the Premier League?"

'The atmosphere in the squad is good at the moment, the condition of every player is great, and we can't wait to start playing'

"You're going to play Everton in the first round, are you confident of winning?"

On August 16, Leicester City's first Premier League game will face the "Toffee" Everton at home.

In the Everton team, there are many acquaintances of Ling Feng, such as Everton's main defenders Baines and Jagielka, who are his national team teammates.

There are also Mirallas, Samuel Eto'o, Ross Barkley, Tim Howard and many more

Of course, the one he cares about the most in the Everton team must be Romelu Lukaku, who is known as the "little monster"!

Ling Feng didn't expect that in his first game in the Premier League, he met another king in football, Kaku.

It's also funny to say that the two major memes in football, one is his current teammate Lin Huang, and the other is his first-round Premier League opponent.

Terrier King Showdown, who is better in the end?

Shaking his head, throwing this interesting thought to the back of his mind, Ling Feng replied casually:

"Of course! We are very happy with our pre-season preparations and are very confident that we will get off to a good start with the support of our home fans."

The interview lasted for fifteen minutes, and many questions were asked, and Ling Feng answered truthfully.

And after the interview, the reporter's brother suddenly stopped Ling Feng, and then quickly took out a pure white T-shirt from his briefcase, and came to him a little embarrassed:

"Ling, my daughter is a big fan of yours, can you sign this T-shirt?"

"Absolutely"

While taking the marker pen handed by the club staff on the side, Ling Feng did not forget to ask casually:

"What's your daughter's name?"

"Alice."

After a pause, the reporter took out his wallet from the pocket of his suit and handed the family photo in the wallet to Ling Feng to look at.

There is a family of three in the photo, the girl is about a teenager, and she looks very cute.

"She's lovely."

"yes, hehe"

Perhaps it was Ling Feng's kind attitude that made him relax a lot, and the reporter directly complained:

"I have to say, you were simply too popular yesterday. I went to the fan shop and waited in line for three hours, and it was almost my turn when they said your jersey was sold out! ”

"I want to place an order online, but it will take a week to arrive"

"That's why I'm coming over today with this T-shirt to sign for you."

Hearing this, Ling Feng knew that his jersey was actually selling so hot!

And this reporter's father actually went to wait in line for three hours for his daughter, just to buy his own jersey?!

This is definitely a good father!

Moved in his heart, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at the club staff on the side, and asked:

"Alan, do I still have any extra jerseys in the equipment room?"

"There should be a few more."

"Get one for me!"

"Okay."

Clubs always have extra sets of players' jerseys in case they need to be changed or given to fans.

signed the jersey he brought, and Ling Feng also took a group photo with the reporter holding the jersey.

"Thank you very much, Ling, it means a lot to my daughter."

"Thank you Alice for me, and I hope she will continue to support me and Leicester City."

"Definitely!"

Saying this, the journalist, who has supported Arsenal since childhood, secretly decided in his heart:

From today onwards, I am a fan of Lingfeng!

The second chapter is being written, maybe a big chapter, and then two chapters will be sent tomorrow
