Chapter 188: It's the same promoted horse, why are you so vegetable?
In mid-November, the weather on the British Peninsula is getting colder.
The entire sky was gray, and the sun was often not visible for several days.
Luckily, Ling Feng didn't need the sunlight that came into the house to wake him up.
Dididi.
With the alarm clock on the bedside table ringing, Ling Feng, who was lying on his back on the bed, opened his eyes suddenly.
First reached out and pressed the alarm clock, and then looked at the ceiling, which was still a little unfamiliar, he raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but lift the quilt.
It's been six days since he moved into his new home, but he's still trying to adjust to his new surroundings worth a million pounds
After waking up, he went straight to the bathroom in his bedroom.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Ling Feng pulled up his shirt as usual.
After admiring his nascent abs, he whispered with satisfaction:
"Well, at least it's not for nothing."
After the initial results of the muscle-building program, Ling Feng's strength and confrontation ability have become significantly stronger.
In training and matches, when he fights against opponents, he will not knock down as he did before.
After the experience, considering his height and weight, as well as his speed and explosiveness, Leicester City's team doctor gave advice to maintain weight.
In other words, he doesn't need to continue to build muscle, he just needs to maintain his current weight and muscle.
As a professional footballer, speed and power go hand in hand.
If you have too many muscles in your body, your strength and confrontation ability will definitely be stronger.
But correspondingly, flexibility, speed and explosiveness will also decrease.
The technical and medical departments need to take into account each player's style of play, height and weight, and make their physical condition reach a balance of speed and strength, so that the players can perform at their best on the field!
After washing up and changing into a long Nike sportswear, Ling Feng walked down from the bedroom on the second floor, came to the open kitchen, and poured himself a glass of freshly squeezed juice that was kept warm.
Just then, the doorbell rang at the door.
"It's coming!"
After opening the door, standing at the door was none other than his personal chef, Jack Chow!
At this time of the day, his personal chef arrives on time and prepares him a hearty and nutritious breakfast.
After greeting Ling Feng, Lao Zhou went straight to the kitchen and began to get busy.
While making breakfast, he chatted with Ling Feng in Chinese:
"Are you going to London today?"
"That's right, against Queens Park Rangers today."
A week ago, after returning to the club from the national team, Leicester City ushered in the twelfth round of the league:
At home against the visiting "Black Cat" Sunderland!
Nicknamed "Black Cat", Sunderland has a glorious history, in the 95~96 season and the 98~99 season, under the leadership of legendary manager Peter Reid, Sunderland won the First Division championship twice!
It is worth mentioning that Kevin Phillips, who helped Sunderland win the First Division championship and scored 30 goals to win the Golden Boot, is in the Leicester City team at this moment!
Ling Feng's understanding of this team comes from a documentary "My Heart Will Always Follow Sunderland"
In the documentary, Sunderland's relegation from the Championship and then sinking are faithfully documented.
And the current Sunderland, although it is not the black cat that has sunk all the way to League One a few years later.
And in the team, there are also many famous players:
England's rising star Wickham, Dutch international Van Aanholt, former Manchester City star Rodwell, Manchester United veteran O'Shea and so on.
However, the team's form this season can be called terrible, and it has begun to show a crisis.
The confusion of the management and the lack of reinforcements kept the team winless in the first five games, and it was not until the seventh round that the team won its first game of the season.
Then in the eighth round, he suffered Southampton's eight-goal bloodbath and was nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the Premier League
It can be said that the current Sunderland is a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch it!
Considering that the opponent's strength and condition are relatively average, coupled with the fact that it is a home game, Pearson boldly rotated in this game.
With midfielder Cambiaso resting, Ling Feng and Andy King formed a midfield partnership, with Albrighton and Mahrez on the left and right respectively.
Ulloa then formed a high-pitch and fast-forward combination with Vardy to play back to the regular 442 two-striker formation.
Although the game played for 70 minutes, there were no goals and no assists.
However, thanks to Ling Feng's combing and organization in the midfield, the team's attack is still smooth.
In the end, with the goals of two strikers and Mahrez's pass, Leicester City won 3-1 at home to Sunderland!
In this game, Cambiasso, Lingard and other main players were rested, and the substitutes were given playing time, and they won the game unscathed.
It's just a lot of money!
However, the most frustrating is naturally Schmeichel who failed to get the clean sheet bonus again.
And Ling Feng also noticed this.
He immediately offered to invite the whole team to a big dinner in the evening, and then thanked Schmeichel Jr. for his great contribution to the team's defense in front of all his teammates.
Under Ling Feng's leadership, everyone held their cups and gave little Schmeichel a toast.
Of course, everyone drank champagne with a very low alcohol content.
And this kind of toasting etiquette is naturally promoted by Ling Feng in the team.
This wave of operations directly made the depressed little Schmeichel have a smile on his face.
At the same time, it also doubled his good impression of Ling Feng.
Ling, this kid, is really my good buddy!
And on the night of defeating Sunderland, Ling Feng also officially moved into his current new home and started an independent life!
After eating a hearty breakfast, Ling Feng directly took his sports backpack, came to the garage, and drove his black Land Rover directly to an iron door.
waved his hand to the security personnel not far away, and the other party pressed the door button.
The iron door slowly opened, and the black Land Rover roared away
About half an hour later, Ling Feng came to the outside of the Belvo base.
Outside the gate of the base, there were many fans squatting as before.
Seeing his Land Rover coming slowly, several teenagers and girls took their No. 7 jerseys, quickly came to the side of the base gate, and shouted his name:
"Ling!"
"Ling Feng!"
"Hey!"
Seeing this, Ling Feng slowly stopped the car, then opened the window and sent a bright smile to the fans who were squatting:
"Hey guys, good morning!"
After signing autographs for the fans one by one and taking a group photo, Ling Feng drove slowly into the Belvo base.
Came to the parking lot, parked the car, and as soon as he got out of the car, he heard a familiar voice behind him:
"Hey, millionaire!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes.
In the entire Leicester City team, who else will give him a nickname like this, except for the guy who likes to play pranks?
Turning his head, he saw Vardy walking towards him with a wicked smile:
"Dude, I heard you bought a million-dollar mansion?!"
Pouting, Ling Feng replied indifferently:
"I didn't buy it, it's just a short-term rental."
"It's all the same."
After a pause, Vardy immediately put his arm around Ling Feng's shoulder, raised an eyebrow at him, and said:
"When are you going to throw a party in your new home and invite us to have some fun?"
"Anytime. Well, if we win QPR today, we should have a day off tomorrow. Then it's going to be a celebration party at my house tomorrow night! ”
Hearing this, Vardy's eyes lit up,
"That's it!"
When he got back to the dressing room, he shared the good news with the rest of his team-mates.
After some heckling, the arrival of head coach Pearson made everyone start to pack their bags in earnest.
Half an hour later, the Leicester squad boarded the dark blue team bus and headed for London
Just an hour later, the team bus arrived in the Hammersmith-Fulham precinct where the Queens Park Rangers club is located.
This is the wealthy area of London.
Of course, the wealthy area does not mean that the residents who live here are all wealthy and high-quality people
Sitting by the window, Ling Feng could clearly see the QPR fans wearing blue and white horizontal striped jerseys outside, and while they were making international friendly gestures to themselves, their mouths were also fragrant.
Through the car window, he could roughly hear what they were swearing.
In the face of the malice of the opponent's fans, Ling Feng just looked calm, and secretly made up his mind in his heart:
Scold, scold a little louder!
The more you scold, the harder I'll abuse your team on the field later!
Let's see if you can scold when you arrive!
As the team bus slowly drove into the parking lot of the Loftus Road Stadium, they stepped out of the car and into the stadium under the flashing lights of media reporters.
。。。
Queens Park Rangers, or QPR for short, is another long-established team in the Greater London Region.
As one of the three teams that have just been promoted from the Championship this season, many people thought that QPR coach Redknapp Sr. could use his rich coaching experience to lead the team to relegation.
However, after twelve rounds, QPR's performance was a big surprise.
With only a bad record of two wins, two draws and eight losses, it ranks at the bottom of the league!
The opponent of this round of the game, Leicester City, which is also a promoted horse, is in the top four of the list!
It's the same promoted horse, why is there such a big difference?!
Before the game, many people were optimistic about Leicester City, who are in good form, and are expected to win Queens Park Rangers away from home.
Even if you can't win, you can get out of it.
And Pearson also gave the team a death order to win this game!
If Leicester City wants to be in the top half of the league this season, and even hit Europe, they must get points against a relegation team like Queens Park Rangers!
In the Queens Park Rangers team, there are also many old faces in the Premier League.
For example, the famous "bad boy" and "butcher" Joey Barton, the Dutch international Ferre and so on.
It is worth mentioning that although the league is at the bottom, QPR is a miracle striker.
That's Charlie Austen, who is known as "Inspirational Brother"!
The England striker's career trajectory is somewhat similar to that of Jamie Vardy.
At the age of twenty, he was still playing in the sixth tier of England.
However, in just a few years, he made the leap from League One to the Championship and then exploded in the Championship last season.
His 20 league goals helped Queens Park Rangers get promoted to the Premier League through the play-offs.
And after being promoted to the Premier League, his goalscoring efficiency is still not low.
He is currently third in the league scorer list with nine goals, behind only Sergio Aguero and Costa!
Considering the overall strength of the team and the support of his teammates, you can see how valuable this is.
However, he was plagued by injuries later, which also prevented him from reaching Vardy's heights, and became another short-lived meteor in English football
Professional football is so cruel.
Not every professional player can establish himself in the top five leagues and become a famous star.
Vardy's example is inspirational and inspiring.
However, it is precisely such examples that are so rare that they will be praised and remembered by the world.
In the QPR formation, there is also a "friend" of Ling Feng.
That's the 36-year-old former Manchester United legend Leo Ferdinand!
This season, Rio Ferdinand, whose contract with Manchester United expired, chose not to renew his contract with the Red Devils, but accepted an invitation from Ray to come to Queens Park Rangers.
It is said that the reason why he did not renew his contract with Manchester United was because Louis van Gaal had an early showdown with the team veteran who had been with the team for 12 years, claiming that he was not part of his game plan.
Therefore, in order to prove that he is still capable of playing in the top flight, Ferdinand will move to promoted club QPR on a free transfer.
Of course, this is just the news that broke out in the media.
Neither party responded, and no one knows whether it is true or not.
However, Rio Ferdinand, who moved to Queens Park Rangers, did not have a second spring in his career.
On the contrary, due to the overall strength of the team, coupled with the serious decline in his own competitive form, he did not help QPR make much contribution on the defensive end.
Even so, the Red Devils and England's all-time best centre-back is still the most trusted player in the QPR defence!
This game is the first game of his return after a three-game suspension.
Standing in the players' tunnel, Ling Feng took the initiative to greet Ferdinand:
"Leo."
"Hey, Ling"
The two met in the United States, and their social media accounts were related to each other, and they can also be called friends.
After a brief greeting, Ling Feng returned to his queue.
With the cheers and applause of the 20,000 home and away fans in the stadium, the two teams entered the stadium.
After a coin toss, Leicester City, wearing a red away kit, kicked off first!
The Blue Foxes pressed forward in formation as always, and through simple passing and receiving cooperation, they quickly hit the backfield of QPR.
However, what Ling Feng and the others didn't expect was that the defense of the Queens Park Rangers was so vulnerable!
In the fourth minute, Ling Feng sent a through ball forward, and Vardy successfully countered offside and fired a low shot through the door guarded by Green.
Jamie Vardy's goal opened the scoring and kicked off a massacre.
