As Kane equalised, Southgate, who was in the VIP stands, nodded in satisfaction.

Speaking of which, Kane is a descendant of the players he grew up watching in the Under-21s.

And in the past six months, Kane's progress is perhaps best known to him.

The youngster may not be as fast as Sturridge and Vardy, and not as physically as good as Welbeck.

However, his nose in front of goal, as well as his marksmanship, are no less than other Premier League strikers!

He had already made up his mind and after this game, he recommended Kane to Hodgson to report to the senior squad for the next international break!

With Kane, the Three Lions have a new option in the centre-forward position.

Ling Feng's passing, coupled with Kane's finishing ability, that picture, tsk

As Tottenham equalised, neither side achieved anything for the next ten minutes of the first half.

In the pouring rain, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half

Back in the dressing room, the Foxes took off their jerseys and wiped their bodies with towels.

Pearson, on the other hand, stood aside with his two assistant coaches to discuss the second half.

"We've got to make some changes!"

In the first half, although he did not lose at all, he even had the upper hand.

However, compared to Tottenham's several shots on goal, Leicester City's attack can only shoot from distance on the perimeter.

Although it rained, the ball became slippery and the threat of long-range shots increased.

However, everyone knows that the closer you are to goal, the higher your chances of scoring.

On the left, Lingard, although he has excellent running ability without the ball, is full of vitality and covers a large area.

But the defensive ability and physical confrontation can only be said to be average.

Especially against Kyle Walker, who can be called England's historic right-back, he was basically blown up!

In the first half, Tottenham frequently used Walker's explosive impact and advancement to tear a hole in Leicester City's high pressing encirclement in the front, so as to hand over the ball to an empty teammate.

And Lingard doesn't have much of a limiting effect at all.

Shakespeare, an assistant coach who specializes in tactics, immediately offered his opinion:

"Nigel, why don't we move Jesse to the middle lane and form an echo with Leonardo (Ulloa)!"

"Then move Ling to the left and suppress Walker's back plug!"

"Ling Feng has speed, and he can also cut inside to hit the door"

Listening to the assistant coach's explanation, Pearson couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and suddenly fell into thought.

These two changes can achieve two purposes.

First of all, enhance the frontcourt offense!

Moving Lingard to the middle of the pitch also made the most of his off-ball running.

In addition to maintaining the pressure on the opponent's back waist in the middle, you can also pick up Ulloa,

Ling Feng, who came to the left side, is far away from the middle of the double back defense, can more calmly distribute the ball and organize the attack.

Secondly, limit Walker!

After Ling Feng came to the left side, Walker definitely had to focus on how to keep an eye on Ling Feng, and he didn't dare to insert assists as often as he did in the first half.

In this way, Tottenham's backfield advancement will definitely be frustrated!

In Leicester City, most of the positions played by Ling Feng in the tactical formation are forward midfielders.

However, his position is never fixed, but at any time depending on the situation on the field, he can be a central midfielder, a striker, or even a right winger!

The left winger will be his fifth position this season!

Of course, change is not necessarily a benefit, and it can make things worse.

But how do you know if you don't try?!

The unknown is also the charm of life!

。。。

Meanwhile.

On the other side of the visiting dressing room, Pochettino was also discussing the tactics of the second half with his assistants.

Judging by the situation in the first half, they created a number of chances to attack the goal in the attacking end.

It's just that Kane was stared too closely by Morgan and Vasilewski, and before he could get up, he was squeezed away by two hunk men with their butts.

Therefore, how to give Kane more support in the second half, so that he can shoot more calmly, has become the key to whether they can win this game!

On the defensive end, except for Fazio, who has a yellow card on his back, there are some hidden dangers, and the performance of the other three defenders is very good.

The key is in the midfield position, Stambley and Bentaleb are unable to effectively protect the area in front of the backline, and it is too easy for Ling Feng and Mahrez to get a long-range shot.

Bentaleb is a hub in the middle and back, with good skills at his feet, and he has to stay on the pitch.

And Dumbley's performance was really disappointing.

Must be replaced!

So, Pochettino's eyes roamed over several midfielders and finally fell on academy midfielder Ryan Mason!

Whether it is replaced by Paulinho, Capoue, or Mason, in fact, it cannot limit Ling Feng's play.

Since it is impossible to prevent Ling Feng.

It would be better to add a midfielder with more attacking attributes and a point in the midfield so that he can provide more support up front.

As long as the offense is played, the pressure on the back will naturally be reduced a lot!

"Benjamin (Stanbley), you come down. Ryan (Mason), second half you're on! ”

Hearing this, Stanbley, who was wiping his wet hair with a towel, made a movement on his hand.

He knew very well that his disastrous performance in the first half had drained the little trust and patience he had in the manager's mind.

He even felt that he was very likely to be thrown into the cold palace because of this.

However, in the dressing room, no one cared about his emotions, just listened intently to the manager's tactical arrangements.

Because, this is professional football!

The player's task is to win, and only by winning can the team win the honor and the player be able to earn more money.

As for the players who can't help the team, there is only one down.

"We have to press upfront, press, press again!"

"Eric (Lamela), Nasser (Chadley), you two can break through more on the wings, they can't stop us at all,"

'Christian [Eriksen], you can move the ball to the wing a little more.'

After a short half-time break, the players from both sides returned to the pitch again.

At this moment, the rain is still falling.

"Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen"

"In the eighteenth round of the Premier League, Leicester City hosts Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the game, which is about to begin."

"In the first half, the two sides were tied 1-1. In the second half, both managers seemed to make tactical and personnel changes.

At the start of the second half, both managers were a little surprised.

Pearson was surprised that Tottenham had directly optimized Stambley's point.

And instead of a defensive midfielder, he was replaced by an attacking midfielder, Mason.

This is King Power Stadium!

What does this Argentine chubby want to do?

Do you want to fight me?!

Thinking of this, Pearson, who was sitting in the stands, couldn't help but look down at Pochettino with his hands on his chest, and couldn't help but praise in his heart:

He is worthy of being the young coach who led Southampton to eighth place last season!

Powerful!

Pochettino, on the other hand, was surprised that Leicester City had changed formations, and moved Ling Feng to the left to align with Walker!

What does this England brother want to do?

Lingard can't prevent Walker, so let Ling Feng come?

Or are you going to make good use of the huge void left behind after Walker plugs in?!

After a wave of brain replenishment, Pochettino couldn't help but glance at Pearson sitting in the stands, and sighed in his heart:

He is worthy of the manager who brought the promoted horses to the Champions League zone!

It's old and spicy enough!

It just so happened that after the two sides changed sides, Walker, who played at right-back, happened to be close to the coach's bench on the sidelines.

This is convenient for Pochettino.

"Kyle!"

Taking advantage of the gap of a dead ball, Pochettino quickly called Walker to the sidelines and admonished:

"Don't get on the attack, stare at that Seven!"

Hearing the head coach's categorical tone, Walker just nodded silently, indicating that he understood.

He missed the World Cup due to injury and did not return until the middle of last month.

Walker, who is the main right-back of the Three Lions, has not met Ling Feng in the national team until now.

Although I have watched a lot of Ling Feng's game videos and highlights.

However, he didn't have a clear understanding of Ling Feng's strength.

Therefore, when he first heard from the head coach that Ling Feng was fast, Walker still scoffed a little.

Fast?

How fast?

Is it fast with me?!

If it comes to the ability to organize an attack, he thinks that he is definitely not as good as Ling Feng.

However, if you want to compare speed, he dares to say - in the entire Premier League, he ranks second, and no one dares to rank first!

And now, Ling Feng was moved to the left and countered him.

Just let this kid experience the speed of the first fastest man in the Premier League!

In the 48th minute of the game, Tottenham Hotspur controlled the ball at the back.

Fazio, who was pressed by Ulloa, again passed the ball to Walker on the right flank.

And the moment he just got the ball, Ling Feng quickly blocked in front of him like a beast out of the cage.

Looking at Ling Feng, who was standing sideways, staring at the ball at his feet, Walker clearly felt the oppressive force of Ling Feng and Lingard, who were not at the same level at all!

Just in time, let me see if you kid can keep up with my Spait!

Walker wanted to make a soup, so he passed Ling Feng.

However, he didn't think about it, as soon as he scooped the ball out, he found that Ling Feng turned around without hesitation and posted it as soon as possible!

This brunette kid is faster than he imagined!

"So fast!"

However, Walker didn't believe in evil, and directly raised his arm, carried Ling Feng stiffly, and continued to advance with the ball.

However, under Ling Feng's interference, his dribbling was not so calm.

Just when the ball was a little bigger at his feet, Ling Feng immediately seized the opportunity, accelerated it, stretched out his right foot, and stabbed the ball with his toe to the drinking brother who came to help defend!

This wave of defense directly received bursts of applause from the home team's fans!

"Nice defense!"

After completing this wave of successful defense, Ling Feng didn't forget to glance back at Walker, and couldn't help but smile.

Although his defensive ability and awareness can only be regarded as average.

However, his burst and speed are enough to keep him from falling behind when defending Walker!

Walker, who did not admit defeat, took the initiative to ask the central defender for the ball, wanting to try to pass Ling Feng.

However, after a few one-on-one times, he was surprised to find that not only the speed, but also Ling Feng's seemingly thin body was not as impatient as he imagined!

Under Ling Feng's close follow-up, Walker was either stealed by Ling Feng, or forced by Ling Feng to be unable to move forward, and could only pass the ball out.

It was only at this time that the Tottenham winger finally understood that he couldn't use his speed to blow up Ling Feng!

His mind has also changed.

From the initial scorn and disapproval, it became.

Ouch, this kid, there's something!

A genius who became the heart of Leicester City and the Three Lions midfield at the age of nineteen!

Under Ling Feng's deterrent power, Walker really reduced the frequency of assists on the wing.

Without Walker's insertion, Tottenham's advance on the wing would be one less explosive point.

Eriksen had to drop back to receive the ball frequently and then organize in midfield.

This gives Leicester plenty of time to defend,

But where there's good news, there's bad news.

Although Ling Feng moved to the left, he was very effective in suppressing Tottenham's attack on the right side.

However, Lingard, who moved to the middle, did not make much of a difference.

Lin Huang's foot skills and vision passing were more than one grade worse than Ling Feng.

In addition to being able to keep running open spaces in the middle, picking up Ulloa and pulling space, he really can't play too tacit with Mahrez.

As a result, Mahrez was on the right flank and had to take the ball on his own.

However, due to the heavy rain, the ball became slippery and individual dribbling became less easy than usual.

After repeated breakthroughs to no avail, he could only reduce the number of dribbling breakthroughs and pass directly behind him, allowing Ulloa to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the opposing central defender;

Or after opening up the space, the long ball pass was transferred to the left side, and Ling Feng was allowed to organize.

Under Walker's defense, Ling Feng was not as calm as in the first half.

Moreover, without Ling Feng's suppression in the middle, Tottenham's two midfielders are involved in the attack more and more frequently.

And as Kane got his foot in the box again, the ball went just wide.

Pearson, who was in the stands, couldn't help frowning.

The changes made by the team have made more opportunities for the opponent to attack.

It made him wonder if the change he made at half-time was a bad decision

I have to say that this tactical change of position cannot be called a failure.

However, from the very beginning, this line of thinking was the opposite of Leicester's tactical thinking!

They can limit their opponents' bursts.

However, Ling Feng, the team's most threatening offensive core, should not be sacrificed!

Defense, that's not what they're good at.

What they really have to do is to think about how to make Ling Feng play more comfortable and give full play to his offensive talent, so as to make the team's attack more threatening!

However, after moving to the left side, under Walker's defense, Ling Feng also won the ball less often.

Leicester City's attack depends on Ling Feng's play.

In fact, it is very simple to win a football game.

Just do one thing, and that is:

Always score one more goal than your opponent!

You must know that attacking instead of defending is one of the important reasons why Leicester City can enter the Champions League with a promoted position.

Now, they are taking Ling Feng to defend Walker?

This is completely attacking the strengths of the other with your own shortcomings!
