Chapter 155: The Future of the Three Lions! [Ask for subscription!] 】

With the end of the game, the head coaches of the two sides also shook hands for the first time.

"You played a good game."

"Thanks for the compliment."

'You're stronger than you were last time in the FA Cup. Especially that kid Ling Feng."

For Ling Feng, a young man who single-handedly defeated the Blues in the FA Cup, Mourinho was deeply impressed.

He was also the first head coach to see Ling Feng's amazing talent and predict in public that Ling Feng would definitely become a top player!

However, Ling Feng's performance in this game still surprised Mourinho.

He didn't expect that in just over half a year, Ling Feng had grown a lot!

In addition to the accurate passing and super high ball quotient as always, he has also developed long-range shooting ability!

Moreover, it also shows super explosiveness and speed.

In Mourinho's more than 10 years in charge, he has seen countless talented players and worked with many top players.

However, no one is like Ling Feng, every time they meet, they can bring him different surprises.

In fact, long before the summer transfer window began, Mourinho privately discussed with Mendes the possibility of Ling Feng transferring to Chelsea.

At that time, Mourinho was looking for a midfield commander for the team.

And he fell in love with Ling Feng and Cesc Fabregas, who was depressed in Barcelona.

The former is his first choice!

After all, compared with the twenty-seven-year-old Xiaofa, whose ball skills have matured, and the nineteen-year-old Ling Feng, who is amazingly talented, is obviously more valuable for cultivation and has room for growth.

And the 30 million pounds release fee in Ling Feng's contract is not a problem at all for Chelsea, who has deep pockets.

The key lies in Ling Feng's willingness to transfer.

After asking Mendes for his opinion, it was determined that Ling Feng would not leave Leicester City in the short term, so Mourinho turned to the next best thing and took Cesc Fabregas directly.

Hearing that Mourinho was so concerned about Ling Feng's growth, Pearson's brows jumped slightly, and he couldn't help but ring the alarm bell in his heart.

He hasn't forgotten that in the summer transfer window, Chelsea also made a bid for Ling Feng!

But on second thought, Pearson was relieved.

A super talented player like Ling Feng, who is overflowing with talent, has both skills and appearance, what club manager doesn't want it?!

。。。

Standing on the turf of Stamford Bridge, listening to the Blues fans singing victory songs, Ling Feng felt a little unwilling with his hands on his hips.

In just the second round, they suffered their first defeat in the Premier League.

However, a one-goal defeat to this season's favourites Chelsea is acceptable.

As far as Ling Feng knows, Chelsea won the Premier League title this season.

Thinking about it this way, it is not a shame to be promoted to Malicester City to lose just one goal at home of the future Premier League champions.

After all, there is indeed a gap in the strength of the players of the two teams

Moreover, this game made him realize his shortcomings.

In addition to his ability to dribble and finish, which is already a weakness, his core ability as a core of a midfield is still not good enough.

Although he has the top ability to pass the ball and threaten the ball.

However, compared to the experienced Cesc Fabregas, he is still a little less experienced in controlling the tempo of the attack, as well as scheduling and pulling the opposition defence and creating open space for his team-mates.

Especially after the explosion and speed increase, he will sometimes think about solving the problem by making soup in the first place, rather than using the running and passing to pull the space.

After all, the feeling of making soup is too good and letting the opponent eat his own exhaust is really cool!

Now that I think about it, I am not a traditional winger who crosses after passing with speed, but the core of the frontcourt organization!

The team needs him to organise attacks, link up his teammates with passes, and tear apart opposition defences.

Sometimes they even shoot from distance, or flank in place for the final blow.

As for using his burst and speed to get away or get past people, it's all about creating a better means for him to handle the ball calmly.

In short, he can't just rely on speed to play, but to use his brain and make sound decisions at the right time!

"It seems that we still have to watch the videos of Pirlo and Xavi's midfield masters"

He still has a long way to go before he becomes a true midfield maestro

After hugging and greeting his teammates, Ling Feng still took the initiative to find Hazard and offered to exchange jerseys with him.

Hazard also readily agreed.

After exchanging jerseys, Ling Feng did not forget to add a sentence:

"By the way, Eden, let's close each other's social media accounts. Next time you have a chance to come to London, please eat a burger. ”

Hearing this, Hazard was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a little curiosity in English full of French accents:

"How do you know I like burgers?"

"I heard that." Ling Feng's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "By the way, how many burgers can you eat in one meal?" ”

"The most time is twelve!"

Looking at Hazard's proud face, Ling Feng tried to hold back the urge to burst into laughter and gave him a thumbs up:

"Cow Pi!"

Burger King!

The Man of the Match of the match was given to Cesc Fabregas, who controlled the team's tempo and provided two assists.

It only took two games to return to the Premier League, and he once again showed his top creativity to the world.

It is foreseeable that his frontcourt combination with Costa will be a big killer for Chelsea in the Premier League title race this season!

And at the post-match press conference, Mourinho, who led Chelsea to two consecutive victories, naturally became the focus of the media.

In response to questions from the media, he first praised his team's performance, and then amicably acknowledged Leicester's performance in this game, which did not look like a promoted team at all.

He also specifically pointed out Ling Feng's huge threat, believing that he was at home in Leicester City.

Pearson also believes that Chelsea are strong and are definitely the favourites to win the title this season

After finishing the press conference and returning to the locker room, Pearson's first words were:

"Guys, it's been a very rewarding game!"

For Leicester, a defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge was nothing like the end of the world.

Instead, Pearson sees it as a learning process.

This game can tell Leicester City a fact very intuitively:

They are no longer in the Championship, but in the Premier League!

The opponents faced are no longer teams such as Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton, and Doncaster, but teams such as Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool!

They will have to adapt to the intensity and pace of the Premier League, as well as new strong opponents to establish themselves in the league

The team bus slowly drove away from the Stamford Bridge stadium, and Ling Feng, who was sitting by the window, looked at the outline of the stadium and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Although there is indeed a clear gap in the strength of the two sides.

However, he doesn't like to lose.

It can be said that except for some who are white or fishy, no professional player likes to lose.

So, Ling Feng decided!

The next time he comes to this stadium, he's going to win!

。。。

Next.

Both the media and the "Match Day" program analyzed and reviewed the wonderful game.

They didn't care too much about winning or losing.

Because in their pre-match predictions, most people thought the Blues at home would be able to beat Leicester City.

And the result of the game was not an upset.

However, they were still a little surprised that Leicester City only lost one goal at the Bridge.

Although this game still provided one assist, and the match rating reached 7.15.

However, Ling Feng's performance in this game was indeed not as amazing as the first game against Everton.

Therefore, in order to attract attention and traffic, some tabloids directly write articles, claiming that Ling Feng cannot adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, and will soon be revealed!

And his dominant performance against Everton in the first round was just that opponents were unfamiliar with his style of play

Many fans of other Premier League clubs also feel that Ling Feng's strength is not enough to lead the team alone, and he does not have the personal ability to turn the tide at critical moments

Ideas like these are all on the Internet.

However, Ling Feng's fans and some football commentators don't think so!

They stood up one after another and supported Ling Feng in various ways,

Someone directly listed Ling Feng's stats when he played against a Premier League team in the FA Cup last season!

Last season, Ling Feng turned the tide many times, helped the team reverse the Premier League team, and won the FA Cup all the way, which is enough to prove that he is a big man!

Some people have rationally analyzed the strength of the players and the value of the team:

Leicester City's entire team is worth 80 million euros, and Ling Feng alone accounts for 30 million.

What about Chelsea?

The whole team is worth 440 million euros!

That's more than five times that of Leicester City!

Moreover, Chelsea's squad is full of experienced and long-established stars in the top flight.

What about Leicester City?

Except for Ling Feng, Vardy and Mahrez, who are considered stars, the rest are all "ordinary players" who have not experienced the top flight

In this background of disparity in strength, Ling Feng was able to lead the team to play back and forth with Chelsea, and only one goal in the end was enough to prove his core role!

Among them, Leicester City legend and die-hard loyalist, Lineker, the host of "Match Day", directly tweeted in support of Ling Feng:

"Some people, are they too this young man?!"

"You know, he's only 19 years old, and to be able to play in a Premier League team is already very good."

"Even Messi, Ronaldo, Zidane will lose, and that doesn't stop them from becoming great players!"

"Of course, Ling Feng still has a lot of room to rise."

'What we have to do is not to start putting too much pressure on this young man just because we lose a game.

"As for whether Ling Feng can adapt to the Premier League, let's wait until the end of the season to draw conclusions!"

Ling Feng didn't expect that just after losing a game, some people began to question his ability.

Of course, Ling Feng didn't care at all about these inconsequential tabloids, the news that was casually written in order to win attention.

For the sake of traffic, it is normal to fabricate facts and deliberately hype.

That's the media!

However, before he could decide whether to tweet or not, many of his friends sent him messages of encouragement or comfort.

And what he didn't expect the most was that Kendall, who was far away in the United States, actually called!

On the phone, Kendou said he watched Leicester's match against Chelsea and knew he had lost.

So I called over to comfort him.

For Kendall's thoughts, Ling Feng was both surprised and a little moved.

The two haven't been in touch for so long since rejecting Kendall's suggestion of a coffee last month.

He thought he was blocked by the other party.

But it didn't work out, Kendall took the initiative to break the ice and call himself.

Let's not talk about whether she is bored or if she is raising fish, just from her description, you can know that she did watch her own game.

This is not easy for an influencer model who is not interested in football and knows nothing.

It is worth mentioning that after comforting Ling Feng, Kendall told him that she was going to participate in the Milan Fashion Week catwalk next month, and asked him if he had time to watch his catwalk.

In this regard, although Ling Feng wanted to refuse at the first time.

However, after thinking about it, it's not impossible to take a day out for fashion week.

Maybe during the process of watching the show, what fashion brands took a fancy to him and asked him to endorse?

Football is what he loves and what he does.

However, outside of work, he also has his own life.

So, Ling Feng thought for a few seconds and decided to agree to Kendall's invitation.

Of course, in addition to possible commercial endorsements, he is also very curious about the legendary fashion week.

Besides, how could he miss this kind of beautiful occasion?

。。。

A few days later.

One big piece of news is to steal the attention of the entire English football world:

Thirty-six-year-old Blues legend Frank Lampard held a press conference and announced his retirement from the national team, accompanied by national team manager Roy Hodgson!

In fact, for this incident, the football circle in England has long expected it.

As early as late last month, Gerrard took the lead in holding a press conference to publicly announce his retirement from the national team and focus his energy on the club.

Now Frank Lampard has come out like this, which can be regarded as officially drawing an unsatisfactory end to the era of "double virtue".

Frank Lampard, who was in the summer window this season, did not wait for Chelsea's contract extension, and had no choice but to end his 13-year relationship with Chelsea and join the New York FC club, a major league team.

Then through the way of loan, joined the Premier League team Manchester City!

Obviously, the Blues legend wants to continue playing in the Premier League and then use his quality to tell Chelsea that he is old and can still eat!

Moreover, he has scored 171 goals in the Premier League, just four short of Thierry Henry's 175.

He is also hoping to overtake Thierry Henry and climb to fourth place in the Premier League's all-time list for most goalscorers.

Speaking at the press conference, Frank Lampard admitted he should give way to the youngsters.

Especially with a young player as talented as Ling Feng in the Three Lions, he can rest assured that he can focus on the club.

Like Steven Gerrard, who retired from the national team last month, Lampard also mentioned Ling Feng in the interview.

"Shuangde" both believe that Ling Feng will be the future of the Three Lions!

As soon as the press conference ended, Ling Feng immediately sent a text message to Lampard.

Just like he did last month with Steven Gerrard, who announced his retirement from the national team.

And Lampard's message to him was only one sentence:

"Young man, I hope you will be the pillar of the Three Lions!"
