Chapter 173: Running Seven!

The presence of the beautiful supermodel to watch the game is just a small episode of the game.

Ling Feng, who was concentrating on the game, didn't notice the big screen.

Of course, I would not have thought that the beautiful supermodel I met in Milan would actually sit in the stands and cheer for herself at this moment!

However, even if Leicester City are firmly in control of the ball and take the initiative on the pitch.

However, Crystal Palace's backline is full of tall English central defenders.

The high ball cross from the wing on both sides can't get past the defender's head at all!

In desperation, Ling Feng could only change the footwork of the cross and sacrifice De Bruyne's signature half-high ball arc cross.

But this kind of passing also tests the reaction of the receiver.

The ball was too fast, although the goalkeeper did not dare to attack, and the defender did not dare to stretch out his feet to clear the ball.

But Ulloa, who was caught between two centre-backs, didn't have the speed of Jamie Vardy to get the first point of the cross.

Moreover, whenever Ling Feng and Knokite switched positions to the right side, they would be caught by two people, preventing him from easily getting up and crossing.

Round burst and speed, Ling Feng is almost the top in the entire Premier League.

However, whenever he tried to make soup from the side, he would be picked up or thrown by his opponent, and he would be thrown to the ground!

What's even worse is that the referee of this game obviously came with a mission.

Many of the obvious fouls by the Crystal Palace players were considered reasonable by the referee.

If you are worthy of a foul on the card, it is just a verbal warning.

On the contrary, the normal confrontation of Leicester City players is considered a foul!

Such an obvious home whistle has fueled the arrogance of Crystal Palace players to foul!

It wasn't until Ling Feng was violated for the sixth time and fell to the ground that the referee, who was surrounded by the surging Blue Fox players, finally reluctantly showed a yellow card to Crystal Palace defender Macarthur!

In the stands where the away team fans were, the fans were looking at Ling Feng lying on the ground with great concern.

Barbara is no exception.

Those blue eyes were full of worry.

She couldn't help but turn her head and ask the female assistant next to her: "Why do those people want to foul him?" ”

"No way, who made him amazing!"

Hearing this, Barbara just nodded as if she didn't understand.

As Ling Feng slowly stood up with the support of his teammates, Barbara's hanging heart relaxed.

The visitors were greeted with a round of applause.

At the same time, Pearson, who was on the sidelines, was killed in front of the fourth official and protested loudly against him:

"Hey! Is this kicking a ball, or is it kicking a person?! ”

"Mr. Pearson, please calm down."

"I'm calm, I just want to know, why don't the players of Crystal Palace play cards when they violate me like this?!"

Of course, such protests were fruitless.

Returning to the bench with an unhappy face, as soon as Pearson sat down, he heard Walsh, who had always had a good temper, also spit out fragrant fragrance directly:

"Hell!"

"What the hell are these referees blowing about!"

With Leicester doing well, the rest of the Premier League will certainly be looking into them in all aspects.

As the core of Leicester City's team, Ling Feng will definitely be restricted and targeted by various teams.

Rough fouls are definitely the most effective of all methods!

Playing in the Premier League, not being violated by opponents five or six times a game, you are embarrassed to say that you are the heart of the team.

It doesn't matter if it's violated.

There are also many teams with a rough and dirty style of play.

The point is that the home whistle is disgusting.

This away game against Crystal Palace may be the toughest game Leicester City has played since they were promoted to the Premier League.

It was also the most aggrieved game that Ling Feng played!

"Are you alright?"

Facing the concern of his teammates, Ling Feng just shook his head, "It's okay." ”

At this moment, he can finally understand the mood of Hazard, Neymar, Messi and other dribbling masters.

Why do opponents always foul and foul them rudely?

Because only by doing this can you stop them!

It's just that Ling Feng didn't expect that he would enjoy such treatment so quickly.

However, the fact that the opponent is so directed at them shows that their ability makes them feel scared!

Although he does not have the same brilliant foot skills as Eden Hazard, Neymar and Messi.

However, his brain is not stupid.

On the pitch, it's not just dribbling that can beat your opponent

Since you can't hit a cross from the wing, change your tactics!

However, before Ling Feng could discuss with his teammates, Crystal Palace was the first to seize one of the few opportunities!

In the 32nd minute, Boracier broke through on the left side of the field, causing Foxes right-back De Wright to take the ball off the line.

Palace won the first corner of the game on the left side of the pitch.

Set-piece opportunities are definitely a favourable means for Crystal Palace to score goals.

In addition to a few small men in the front court, their back waist plus three defenders are all over 1.9 meters!

As Bolacier drove the ball into the box, the crowded box was in chaos.

And in the chaos, Joel Ward, the 1.86-meter Crystal Palace right-back, jumped up and looked back at the moon!

The ball cut a parabola in mid-air and hoisted it just past Schmeichel's raised right hand and into the back of the net.

In this way, Crystal Palace, which was suppressed by Leicester City, took advantage of set-piece opportunities to take the lead at home!

With Crystal Palace scoring first, Selhurst Park Stadium instantly erupted into an incomparably enthusiastic cheer!

And Ling Feng, who was standing at the front of the big penalty area, looked at the Crystal Palace players who were celebrating wildly at their home stadium, and couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth with a serious expression.

He wasn't angry, he wasn't frustrated.

Because, football is like that, no one knows what will happen in the next second.

And there are quite a few laws in the world of football.

One of them is that if the dominant side keeps wasting opportunities, it will definitely be punished!

It's not terrible to be behind.

The key is what they should do to equalize the score, or even overtake!

While his opponent was celebrating, he called Ulloa, Albrighton, and Konokite to his side and discussed countermeasures.

In short, it's about getting the two wingers to add flank penetration, and then making more through passes in the middle to find Ulloa.

Ulloa then turned his back to the ball and took a long-range shot that was cut in from behind.

Seeing this, Pearson on the sidelines also realized that Ling Feng might have thought of some way to change the current problem of the situation that the offense could not be opened.

So, instead of shouting at the players, he let them play freely on the field.

With Crystal Palace taking the lead at home, the home fans began singing the team anthem "Glad all over" in unison

However, after kick-off again, the Leicester City players were surprised to find that Crystal Palace actually changed to 451 and then retreated most of the players to their own half!

Leaving only one of the fastest Bolasier in front, like a black cheetah, roaming beside the two Blue Fox centre-backs, waiting for a counter-attack.

And as Crystal Palace conceded possession, Leicester's possession soared sharply, and they launched a siege in front.

But Crystal Palace contracted their defense in their own half, and the space became extremely narrow, and they couldn't penetrate through the pass at all.

In desperation, Leicester City could only use short passes on the periphery, constantly pulling and dispatching the opponent's defense, looking for opportunities.

On the other hand, Crystal Palace did not easily step forward to press, but strictly maintained a defensive formation.

Once the ball is broken, go straight forward with your big foot and look for Bolasie!

Let Bolacier use his pace and dribbling to create a threat to Leicester's defence!

For a while, the field turned into a relatively dull half-court offensive and defensive drill.

There is no shame in setting up a bus immediately after taking the lead at home, neither the Crystal Palace players nor the fans.

Crystal Palace players and fans, they have a clear vision of what they are.

This is only their second year back in the Premier League.

After a winless start to the season, they are well aware that their side are still in the bottom half of the Premier League.

This season is still fighting for relegation!

And manager Warnock also knows very well that if you want to stay in the Premier League, you have to win every valuable point!

And a promoted horse like Leicester City is exactly the one who can get points!

So, for the sake of victory, it doesn't matter if the scene is ugly at all.

After all, it's not so easy to win a game and win beautifully

While Leicester's pass count continues to increase, time is ticking.

Soon, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the half!

。。。

'In the first half, in terms of shots and possession, we were the better side.

"We need to do better."

Back in the dressing room, Pearson first affirmed the players' performance on the pitch.

Then he comforted the players, saying that the goal was just bad luck.

Afterwards, he asked Ling Feng if he had thought of any countermeasures.

Ling Feng also truthfully said his thoughts.

After listening, Pearson also looked at the 19-year-old team core with appreciative eyes, and publicly affirmed his ability to read the game.

Then, on top of Ling Feng's tactical ideas, two tasks were added: "creating set-piece opportunities" and "shooting more long-range".

The usual means of breaking down dense defence are nothing more than long-range shots, set-pieces and individual explosions.

And it wasn't the first time they had dominated a lot of possession and pressed their opponents into a frenzied siege in the half.

This game reminded the Leicester City players of the wonderful times in the Championship.

In the Championship, those relatively weak teams have adopted a half-time strategy against the firepower of the Foxes.

It's just that I didn't expect that after being promoted to a higher level of the Premier League, they actually had the time to press the opponent in the half of the crazy siege!

In the second half, Yibian fought again.

Leicester City continue to hold the initiative firmly on the pitch.

As for the change in tactics, in addition to the two wingers reducing crosses, increasing dribbling, and creating set-piece opportunities in the front court as much as possible, Ling Feng also added a wall-to-wall cooperation with Ulloa in the middle.

After the Argentine received the ball with his back in the penalty area, he knocked the ball back as soon as possible and shot a long shot for Ling Feng, who was inserted behind!

In just ten minutes after the start of the second half, Ling Feng repeatedly shot from distance outside the penalty area

Either he was blocked by a defender or he was turned away by the goalkeeper.

Although he did not score directly, he also tested the goalkeeper of Crystal Palace many times.

Leicester City's fierce attacks after waves overwhelmed Crystal Palace.

The home fans in the stadium also felt the team's performance, and applauded the team's successful defense again and again.

The morale of the visiting fans was also high, constantly cheering for the players on the field.

In football, in addition to strength, there are many factors that affect the outcome of the game.

Among them, the cheering of the fans is also a huge motivation for the players running on the field.

And Barbara, who watched a Premier League game for the first time, was gradually infected by the atmosphere of the game and has become a qualified fan.

Seeing Ling Feng's shot saved, she, like other away fans, sighed regretfully;

Seeing Crystal Palace's long pass from the back to launch a counterattack will also make Leicester City sweat.

And even the strongest city has its time, but there are times when it is breached.

In the end, when they held out until the 80th minute, the tenacious Crystal Palace still showed a flaw:

Leicester win a corner on the right side of the pitch.

Ling Feng took a corner kick, and the ball flew straight to the crowd in the penalty area.

Moore, who was at the near post, jumped up first and tried to grab the first point, but couldn't reach the ball.

But it was this jump that shook the players of Crystal Palace, and no one hit the ball, but let the ball hit Morgan's subconsciously stretched thigh by mistake, and refracted into the goal!

In this way, Leicester City finally equalized the score after 35 minutes of onslaught in the second half!

Morgan, who scored the goal, picked up the ball directly from the goal and ran to the middle circle.

Obviously, his body language is sending a very clear message to his teammates and fans:

We don't want a draw, we want to win!

Under the influence of the captain, the Leicester City players simply high-fived the captain, returned to their own half, and waited for Crystal Palace to kick off.

After the equaliser, Leicester City's morale was high and the attack was even more intense.

However, when the game time came to the 88th minute, under the pressure of Bolacie, right-back De Wright accidentally kicked the ball off his own line and gave the opponent a corner when he passed back to the goalkeeper in a panic.

This corner kick added a bit of drama to the outcome of this game, and also gave the home team the possibility of killing the game!

For Crystal Palace, who are aiming to pick up points from Leicester City, getting a point at home is more than thirsty.

"Go up!"

"All up!"

So, under the order of the manager on the sidelines, Crystal Palace almost all went to the front, ready to take advantage of this corner opportunity.

Only a reasonably fast full-back, Joel Ward, and a goalkeeper were left at the back.

Pang Qiong's corner kick was of very average quality, and he did not find his own person, but was pushed out by Moore for the first time.

The ball came right at the feet of Mahrez, who had been substituted just a dozen minutes earlier outside the penalty area.

He took the ball, turned around, and looked up.

I saw a brown figure, which was thrusting forward at high speed with an indomitable momentum!

The number printed on the back is exactly seven!

It's Ling Feng!

Seeing this, Mahrez did not hesitate at all, and directly made a long pass!

"Ling !!"

The ball made a perfect parabola over the pitch and landed right on the left side of Crystal Palace's backfield.

In an instant, the offense and defense of both sides reversed!

Ling Feng, who stepped forward, and Joel Ward, the last defender at the back of Crystal Palace, were all sprinting to get the ball first.

However, to the despair of the home fans and Ward, Ling Feng was like a bolt of lightning, and he got the ball a few positions ahead of Ward.

It's been eighty-eight minutes since the race, why can he still run so fast?!
