Chapter 209: Who is not a British Emperor anymore?
The game resumed as Kane kicked off for the second time.
With a goal down early in the game and a yellow card for the centre-back, Tottenham's formation was reverted to play more cautiously.
Even so, Tottenham's backfield continued to be frantically pressed by Leicester City.
And they didn't dare to slack off.
Either pass the ball to another defender with better skills at his feet, Bentaleb;
Either pass it to the two full-backs and let them handle it.
If it really doesn't work, I will directly make a long pass to Harry Kane in front.
It's impossible to pass the ball to Stambley again anyway!
However, although from the perspective of the field, Leicester City suppressed Tottenham in the half.
However, compared to the more mobile Vardy, Ulloa was much slower.
This made the front four-man group of pressing encirclement, and there was a certain rhythm out of sync.
It also led to Tottenham playing the ball at the back, which was not as difficult as imagined.
Moreover, Tottenham's two full-backs, Danny Rose and Kyle Walker, are the kind of full-backs who are fast and have a certain ability to push.
Leicester's two wingers, Jesse Lingard and Riyad Mahrez, are not speedy wingers.
No, Tottenham right-back Walker received a pass from central defender Fazio, and with a simple soup, he broke through under the pressure of Lingard!
"Nice push!"
"Walker broke through Lingard's pressure with ease!"
'The Three Lions' right-hand winger made a huge contribution to the team's recent excellent results after returning last month after missing out on the World Cup due to injury.
"It's worth mentioning that Walker was the fastest player in the Premier League last season. And Ling Feng, the No. 7 player of Leicester City, who is the opponent in this game, is the fastest player this season! ”
"Will these two amazing fast horses put on a high-speed rush for us?"
"Let's wait and see"
After past Jesse Lingard, Walker continued to drive down the right and then fired a ball past Eriksen who came in the middle.
The 22-year-old Danish midfielder is Tottenham's top scorer in the league.
He has scored six goals in the Premier League for Tottenham this season!
Moreover, he is also the organizational core of this Tottenham Hotspur team, and his vision and ball distribution are indispensable souls of this Tottenham team.
Therefore, in the pre-match preparations, Pearson repeatedly emphasized Eriksen's great threat and told the two midfielders that Eriksen must not be allowed to easily take the ball.
However, the gap in the strength of the players is here, not that it can be prevented if it is defended.
Facing Andy King's close marking behind him, Eriksen slammed the ball with the outside of his foot and turned around as the ball changed trajectory.
The whole passing is connected, all in one go!
Andy King didn't even have time to reach out to pull it before he was cleaned.
After passing, he took two steps forward, and seeing that no one in the back line stepped forward to stop him, he directly shot a cold arrow outside the arc of the big penalty area!
With a bang, the ball shoots out!
This long-range shot, powerful and heavy, really tested Leicester City's number two goalkeeper Ben Hammer.
Fortunately, he concentrated and hit the ball with both fists in time.
The ball that popped up was directly cleared out of the danger area by the captain of the central defender Morgan for the first time.
The fans of both sides in the stadium applauded this wave of offense and defense
Over time, Tottenham players have become familiar with Leicester's pressing intensity.
Coupled with Eriksen's repeated drop-back to the midfield to receive the ball, Tottenham's play at the back has become more fluid.
Tottenham's tactical style of play is largely based on attacking from the wings.
Take advantage of the excellent ability of the two full-backs to plug in and assist, then create a local advantage up front to play more and play less, and then create opportunities for low crosses on both flanks.
In the end, Kane, who is in good form, will solve the problem!
For the next ten minutes, Tottenham concentrated on the right flank, taking turns attacking left-back Schlupp.
Walker, Lamela, and Eriksen, who cruined to the right, repeatedly crossed to Kane in the middle.
Thankfully, Foxes captain Morgan clung to the Tottenham star and kept him up and down so that he didn't have to finish so easily.
Even so, he had three shots.
One of the headers was very threatening, smashing over the crossbar and almost levelling the scores.
The up-and-coming Kane has already shown his initial deterrence in the penalty area.
Although he is not fast.
But the ability to fight, the nose in front of goal and the movement are all visible to the naked eye.
Under the combination of Morgan and Vasilewski, he can still find a chance to get his feet!
Leicester City, which has the home advantage, also played several dangerous combinations in the front.
Compared with Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and other giants, Tottenham's midfielders are simply a disaster!
Stanbley defends and Bentaleb attacks, theoretically a complementary pair.
However, the key is that the two of them can't limit Ling Feng's play!
And waist weakness is also the main factor in Tottenham's inconsistent results this season.
Tottenham's squad is overcrowded with personnel in the midfield position.
Not counting Stambley and Bentaleb, who started this game, there were also Moussa Dembele, Paulinho, Mason and Capoue off the field.
So far, Pochettino has tried a number of midfield combinations.
However, neither Paulinho, Capoue, nor Stambley on the pitch could satisfy Pochettino.
Dembele and Mason are two players who have performed reasonably well in the midfield position this season, except for Bentaleb.
However, due to Dembele's injury and Mason's last game, Pochettino chose to let Stembley, who has good defensive ability, start.
It's a pity that as soon as Stanbley came up, because of his lack of concentration, he tricked his teammate Fazio, and indirectly let the opponent score.
And in the head-to-head duel of defending Ling Feng one-on-one, he was simply like a headless fly, being played around by Ling Feng.
Seeing Ling Feng taking what he wanted in the middle and repeatedly passing threatening the ball, Pochettino's expression on the sidelines became more and more serious, and his brows were tightly locked.
Although Ulloa was slow and was targeted by Vertonghen.
However, his ability to play the ball with his back still created opportunities for Ling Feng and Mahrez to shoot from a distance.
If it weren't for Lloris's bravery, he made a number of flying saves to keep the ball out.
Tottenham may well have conceded again in the first half
Pochettino has already made up his mind to replace Stambley at half-time!
。。。
In the 28th minute of the game, the ratio of possession to 4 and shots to 5 was 8 to 5.
On the field, Leicester City has a certain advantage.
Just when everyone thought that sooner or later Leicester City would turn the advantage of the field into a goal, a variable suddenly emerged:
The sky is starting to drizzle!
In this regard, neither the players on the field nor the fans in the stands were surprised.
Winter in England is a rainy season.
The sun would be punched by the clouds at any moment, and then hide in the house crying, not daring to come out again.
Many fans in the stands have put on raincoats prepared in advance.
As for the players who couldn't wear raincoats on the field, they could only let the cold raindrops slap their bodies wantonly.
Moreover, this sudden rain changed from a gentle drizzle to a pouring rain in an instant!
However, the fierceness of the game was not extinguished by the rain, but became more open and close!
Both sides picked up the tempo and seemed to have abandoned the midfield organisation to move quickly through the midfield and attack through the wings.
In the thirty-fourth minute of the game, the situation on the field was changed again!
Walker dribbled the ball to near the halfway line, looked up, and found that Leicester City's entire formation was leaning towards his side.
On the left side, near Chadley, there was a huge gap.
So, he didn't hesitate, and directly shifted with a diagonal long pass, and hit the winger Chadley on the left side.
The Belgian international Chad took advantage of his chest to unload, lifted his foot and stopped the long pass.
Even if right-back Danny Simpson quickly made up for it, there was still a lot of room for Chadley to break through.
The latter did not hesitate, directly dribbled the ball forward, and then accelerated in disguise, and killed the bottom line along the side!
"Pretty!"
'Chadley tore a hole in the defence on the left flank.
Then, look up at the middle and look for a cross.
At the same time, Morgan in the middle of the lane glanced back.
He spotted Kane next to him trying to get ahead of the curve, so he didn't hesitate to rush forward and try to block Kane between the ball and the cross.
However, the moment he turned his head, Kane slammed his feet and plunged directly behind him!
In a flash of lightning, Chadley saw Kane's movement and sent a cross directly with his left foot.
However, when the Leicester backline was caught off guard, the cross was not a high ball, nor a low flat ball, but a half-high ball!
The arc drawn was just around the right foot stretched out by Morgan in front of him and came into the small penalty area.
Kane, who hit the six-yard zone, showed his instinct as a natural shooter, raised his right leg and used the inside of his foot to the front end!
Bang, a shot close to goal, Leicester goalkeeper Hammer didn't have time to react at all.
I just subconsciously opened my arms, but I couldn't stop the ball from flying under my armpit into the goal!
In the next second, the away fans in the stands suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers!
"The ball went in !!"
"Textbook side-in-the-middle combination!"
"Harry Kane!"
'The Tottenham rising star continues his recent red-hot form in the league, scoring in three consecutive league games!'
Looking at Kane, who opened his arms and ran to the stands where the away team fans were to celebrate, although Ling Feng's expression was calm, he gave Kane a thumbs up in his heart.
is worthy of being the only superstar with the UK after Wayne Rooney!
It was a goal, although it seemed very simple.
Just a pass and a shot, the ball went into the goal.
However, the layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.
Keen nose, world-class movement, clean finish.
This is Harry Kane, the future contender for the world's leading striker!
In the past ten years in British football, there have been many so-called "British stars"
These hukou players, touted by the media, are seen as the future of English football.
These talented youngsters should have a bright future ahead of them, and they might even make a big difference in the Three Lions.
However, the development of most people is far below the expectations of the outside world.
In the early years, the "British Emperor Star" included Manchester City's Richards, Rodwell, Arsenal's Wilshere, Walcoat and others.
In the future, it will be Kane, Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mason Mount, Foden and others.
It is worth mentioning that the "Lin Huang", who is now on loan to Leicester City, was once named the "British Emperor Star" by fans in the future.
Of course, this name, for Lingard, means more ridicule than recognition.
In Ling Feng's opinion, among the many "British Emperor Stars", there is only one player who can best afford the name of "British Emperor Star".
That's the new star of Tottenham's striker who just scored, Harry Kane!
From the beginning of his debut this season to the time before Ling Feng crossed, Kane's career can be regarded as steady and steadily improving.
From a "flash in the pan" White Hart Lane star to the "uncrowned king" Tottenham Hotspur's all-time goal record, every season, he has shown a superstar-like performance!
It can be described as a well-deserved British star!
Thinking of this, Ling Feng suddenly pursed his lips.
However, who isn't a British Emperor anymore?
After his birth last season, Ling Feng was also touted by the media as a "British Emperor Star"
It is even more exaggerated than when many media touted Wilshere as "the heart of the Three Lions' midfield for the next decade".
In other words, this league match between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur can be said to be a head-to-head matchup between the British stars!
After Ling Feng took the lead in sending an assist to help the team take the lead, Kane was not to be outdone and scored a goal to equalize the score.
Many England fans in front of the TV are already imagining that if Kane enters the national team and partners with Ling Feng, the picture will not be too beautiful!
At this moment, the camera on the scene was also aimed at the Three Lions U21 coach "South Gate" Southgate in the stands in a suit and leather shoes!
'Southgate was also here today and he was obviously checking on the form of internationals like Ling Feng and Walker for Mr Hodgson.
Of course, the objects of his investigation must have included Kane, his proud disciple in the U21. With the 21-year-old's fiery state, perhaps we will soon be able to see him fighting side by side with Ling Feng."
The narrator guessed correctly.
Southgate came to the King Power Stadium on this trip, and the focus of the inspection, in addition to Walker, who has returned from injury, is naturally Harry Kane, who has recently turned purple!
As for Ling Feng, he didn't need to investigate at all.
With the young man's current indispensable role and position in this Three Lions, unless he is injured.
Otherwise, even if he has not been in good form lately and has not scored goals and assists, Hodgson will not hesitate to call him up to the national team squad!
You know, if Ling Feng doesn't play, who will pass threatening the ball and deliver shells to strikers such as Kane, Vardy, Sturridge, and Welbeck?
By Sterling?
Don't be funny!
