Chapter 157: The Easiest Goal of My Career! [Ask for subscription!] 】
Although some tones are not standard, Ling Feng's Spanish can still roughly hear the specific meaning.
This made Sanchez stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ling Feng with some curiosity:
"Do you speak Spanish?"
"Being. Learning."
There were two reasons why Ling Feng accosted Sanchez.
One is the curiosity of Sanchez as a player; The other is to practice your Spanish!
Sophia, his female assistant and governess, often emphasized the importance of the locale when teaching him Spanish.
Although on the way home from work, you can chat with Sophia and practice.
However, when Sofia sent him home, he had to listen to some Spanish songs and textbooks on his own, or watch some Spanish TV series to practice.
The key to learning a new language is to speak up.
And communicate more with others, so that you will improve quickly.
However, Leicester City did not have any Spaniards at all in their squad, nor did they have any Spanish-speaking players.
Thankfully, with the addition of Spanish-speaking Argentine Cambiaso, he has a practice partner in the team who can converse in Spanish.
"Oh, how long have you been studying?"
"Probably. One month"
Before the two could talk about the British weather, the passionate voice of the stadium DJ sounded outside the stadium.
It was only at this time that the two of them closed their mouths at the same time very tacitly and returned to the identity of their opponents!
Players from both sides led the ball boys into the stadium and lined up to cheer and applaud the fans.
Arsenal, playing away, kicked off first.
In the face of the "enemy" who snatched the FA Cup championship from himself last season, the Gunners did not have the slightest intention of probing, and put on an anti-guest posture as soon as they came up, and launched an attack on the Blue Foxes' backline!
Even though Leicester City pressed up front, Arsenal used smooth ground coordination to easily pass three passes and two downs, and passed the ball to the feet of the midfielder's retreating dog.
As the European assist king who once fed superstars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim benzema at Real Madrid, and now the core of Arsenal's frontcourt, Edog's playmaking is the top in today's football.
He pulls on his feet and moves forward with the ball.
When Cambiasso stepped forward to press, he just made a relaxed diagonal kick and passed the ball to Alexis Sanchez on the left.
The latter took the ball and faced right-back Simpson for the first time in the league for Leicester City.
made a few upper body shaking feints one after another, but found that the other party was not fooled, and Sanchez also dispelled the idea of breaking through directly, but chose to cut horizontally.
This inward cut directly attracted the "drinking brother" of the middle road to assist in defense.
At this moment, Sanchez flicked the outside of his foot and sent a hidden short pass into the penalty area.
Sanogo wanted to lean on Morgan with his body and then catch the ball with his back.
But he didn't think about it, just when he raised his leg and wanted to step on the ball under his feet, Morgan burst out with great force, squeezed it away slightly, and then stabbed the ball out with one kick!
Cambiaso immediately cleared the ball forward and fell to the empty Arsenal backfield, and the remaining left-back Monreal laughed directly at the ball.
The ball is back at Arsenal's feet again.
In the opening fifteen minutes, Arsenal repeatedly penetrated the ball into the attacking third with skillful passing and cutting combinations.
However, perhaps it is not yet complete to run in with the team, Sanchez likes to habitually make individual dribbling breakthroughs after receiving the ball, which is slightly incompatible with Arsenal's fast-moving tactics.
This slows down the overall offense a bit.
Even so, whenever the former Barcelona star got the ball, it made Leicester's midfield nervous and had to play a two-man defence.
You know, Sanchez was Barcelona's second scorer after Messi last season, scoring 19 goals in 27 La Liga starts, and also had 10 assists.
Even in the strong Barcelona system, such data is enough to prove his personal ability!
However, once the defensive focus is on him, the defense of other Gunners players will be ignored, and there will be gaps in the attack.
After a summer window, not only Leicester City has become stronger, but Arsenal has also become stronger!
However, the overall strength of the team has become stronger, which does not mean that every player has become stronger.
Some people are still the same.
It's Arsenal's starting center forward in this game, 21-year-old Sanogo!
Compared with Giroud, Sanogo is more than one notch worse than Giroud, whether it is running without the ball, finishing in front of goal, or making the ball at the fulcrum!
Arsenal's three attacking midfielders are all technical players with delicate feet and can create opportunities for their teammates up front.
However, whether it was Sanchez's diagonal pass into the box after cutting inside from the left to attract defenders, or the scalpel of Ergou and Cazorla, every time the ball was passed to Sanogo's feet, the attack basically came to an end.
Either the body is not stuck and is broken; Either you can't hold the ball and it's broken!
Within fifteen minutes of the first half, he proved with his actions that he was the weakest link in Arsenal's starting line-up!
And watching Sanogo's clumsy performance on the field, Wenger in the coach's bench on the sidelines also supported his cheeks with one hand, with a sad face.
At the moment, he misses his starting big centre-forward, Olivier Giroud.
On top of that, he didn't forget to curse Besiktas in his heart for the bastard who hurt Giroud!
Thankfully, he is in talks with Manchester United about a move for Welbeck.
The details of the transfer agreement are almost finalized and the transfer is nearing completion.
As long as Welbeck joins, even if he cooks, he can't eat the current Sanogo.
If the two rotate, they can at least last until Giroud's comeback in the winter window.
But in this game, he could only use Sanogo, the only center forward left in the team, to play the whole game.
This is Sanogo's last chance!
Whether he can stay at Arsenal depends on his performance in this game.
。。。
Over time, Leicester finally snatched back possession bit by bit through Ling Feng's running tandem in midfield, thus launching a very threatening attack:
In the 35th minute, Cambiaso picked up the ball in midfield and suddenly moved forward, and after getting past Mesut Ozil, he immediately distributed the ball to Riyad Mahrez on the right.
And Monreal, who was guarding him, didn't wait for him to get the ball, so he accelerated up to grab it, intending
However, Mahrez directly flicked the instep of the outside of the ball and came up with a "Bergkamp turn"
The ball skimmed past Monreal's right and Riyad Mahrez ran from Monreal's left.
Because he rushed too hard, the inertia made Monreal have no time to react, and he wanted to get started to pull Mahrez, but he was slipped away from under his hand by the opponent!
"Pretty turn!"
"No. 26 Mahrez has used the trick of the Gunners Famous Ice Prince!"
After getting past Monreal, who rushed up to tackle, Mahrez faced an unguarded open field in front of him and drove directly down the right flank.
His dribbling style relied more on cadence and rhythm than Ling Feng's reliance on burst and speed
His speed with the ball is faster than the speed of many players without the ball!
Seeing Riyad Mahrez cut inside to the edge of the penalty area, World Cup-winning centre-back Mertesacker stepped forward with his long legs and took up a defensive position.
At the same time, Vardy, who was clinging to Koscielny, suddenly started to cut diagonally into the box, and the former followed closely behind.
This forward insertion just helped Mahrez open up space for his feet.
Mahrez paused, took another lateral step to the left, and then swung his left leg.
In this position, it seemed that he was going to shoot the far corner of the goal with his left foot, but at the moment when Mertesacker turned his back and made a blocking action, he gently pushed the inside of his left foot and chose to pass!
"Mahrez dribbles horizontally and prepares to open up the angle"
"Oh no! He passed?! ”
The ball slowly rolled towards the top of the arc of the big penalty area, and a blue figure was inserted from behind!
It is Ling Feng who follows up at high speed!
From Riyad Mahrez cutting inside, Vardy slotted in diagonally to take the centre-back and open up the space to shoot.
Then Mahrez crossed to the middle to create an opportunity for Ling Feng to shoot from the edge of the penalty area.
The whole cooperation is smooth!
And this is also the offensive routine that the Blue Fox Three Musketeers often use in training!
However, just when everyone thought that Ling Feng was about to shoot from a distance, he did not shoot directly, but pushed the outside instep and took the ball into the penalty area!
And in front of him, there is a passage to the goal!
Mertesacker on the right was too late to defend the middle;
Koscielny, on the left, was pulled apart by Vardy.
With a slight push at his feet, Ling Feng took the ball directly through the middle of the two central defenders and faced the goalkeeper!
"Single-handed!"
However, Szczesny is not a vegetarian either.
Seeing that Ling Feng inserted it from behind, and then dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he did not hesitate to abandon the door and open his arms to meet it!
Just as he was trying to judge whether Ling Feng was going to shoot hard, or shoot low or pick, Ling Feng once again made a move that amazed everyone in the audience:
He didn't shoot, but gently crossed to the left with a weak diagonal pass!
The ball flew past Szczesny on the right and was about to slide off the far post, when Jamie Vardy, wearing the number nine shirt, appeared in front of the ball and then slotted it into the empty net with a gentle push!
As Vardy raised his arms in celebration, the entire King Power Stadium was like a pot of hot oil suddenly added to water, and it boiled all at once!
“goal~goal~goal~~”
"Jamie. Vardy! ”
"The Championship Golden Boot last season is also on fire in the Premier League! In the third game, he scored his second league goal of the season! ”
"And the one who assists him is Ling Feng!"
"This is the fifth assist of the season for the 19-year-old!"
Accompanied by the excited voice of the commentator, the Blue Fox fans sitting in front of the TV also cheered, as if they were in the stadium!
With this extremely simple and effective combination of passes, Leicester City took the lead in breaking the deadlock at home and leading Arsenal 1-0!
After the goal, Vardy came directly in front of Ling Feng,
"It was definitely the easiest goal of my career! Why don't you shoot, though? ”
Faced with Vardy's puzzlement, Ling Feng smiled slightly, and then explained:
"I promised you, when I get to the Premier League, I will also give you an assist!"
Although it is said that it is so.
However, his decision was carefully considered.
By then, Szczesny had already stepped in and spread his arms to widen the defensive area and block most of the shots.
If you had shot straight at goal, you could have scored, but you could have been saved by Szczesny.
Therefore, he made the most confident choice:
That's a pass to Jamie Vardy and let him hit the empty net!
Hearing Ling Feng's answer, Vardy was stunned for a moment, and then gave Ling Feng a big hug with a sincere face:
"Thanks, buddy!"
The two did not forget to call Mahrez, and the three of them came to the fan stand together, shoulder to shoulder, and accepted the cheers and applause of the fans.
Not far away, watching such a friendly and harmonious scene between the three of them, Lingard, who came on loan, felt that he was an outsider.
After all, he was not very involved in the whole process of scoring goals.
At most, he just stepped forward to the wing and helped contain right-back Debichy.
Just as he was hesitating whether to go over and celebrate together, Ling Feng, who turned around, seemed to notice his restraint, and then waved his hand and called him to come over to celebrate:
"Jesse!"
"Thanks to you pulling on the wings, the full-backs didn't shrink the middle!"
"Well done!"
Hearing Ling Feng notice his efforts, Lingard's slightly lost mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and then showed a bright but shy smile.
It's a great feeling to be recognized.
And Wenger, who witnessed the whole goal process on the sidelines, showed a little helplessness.
Although the whole goal is not as beautiful as Arsenal, it is more simple and efficient.
In the whole goal, only Cambiasso, Mahrez, Vardy and Ling Feng participated in the whole process.
He has long seen that Ling Feng, a player with a strong ball quotient, can be said to be a perfect fit with the tactical system he has created at Arsenal!
This is also one of the important reasons why Wenger planned to buy Ling Feng as early as the winter window!
It's a pity that Ling Feng rejected his personal invitation, which also made him feel the determination of this talented player to stay in Leicester City.
Therefore, after the opening of the summer window, a number of big clubs have made offers to the hot World Cup best newcomer, but Wenger has not moved.
It's not that he can't get a termination fee of 30 million pounds, but he knows that even if he makes a bid, Ling Feng will never leave Leicester City!
Wenger was not surprised to be scored first by Leicester.
Back in the FA Cup final, he had seen the attacking and resilient nature of Leicester's side.
Perhaps he is the manager who knows the most about the true strength of Leicester City in the entire Premier League.
Therefore, he did not dare to be careless at all, and repeatedly stressed to his players that Leicester City should not be treated as an ordinary promotion team.
It's a formidable opponent who can beat them!
