"Phew. Phew"

Looking at Maguire, who was sweating profusely, panting and staring at his feet with his still focused eyes, Ling Feng suddenly stepped on the ball and asked:

"Hey, Harry, do you need a break?"

Hearing this, Maguire just wiped the sweat from his forehead casually and replied with a firm face:

"No, I can still hold on!"

In one-on-one heads-up in football, defending takes a lot more energy than attacking.

However, so far, Maguire's sparring performance has satisfied Ling Feng.

Although Maguire couldn't keep up with his speed and outbursts at all.

However, his defensive and positional awareness, coupled with his strong body, was still able to give Ling Feng a certain amount of defensive pressure.

In order to hone his dribbling skills, Ling Feng did not use his own soup cooking method, but chose to change the rhythm to get past Maguire.

In the beginning, Maguire managed to get stuck in position and break the ball on two or three of his 10 defensive attempts.

However, as he gradually became familiar with Ling Feng's dribbling routine, Ma Datou also noticed that he almost only dribbled with his right foot, and rarely used his backfoot.

In other words, he only needs to guard against Ling Feng's right foot, and that's it!

As a result, his defensive success rate has increased dramatically.

And Ling Feng, who was aware of this, had no choice but to increase the frequency of dribbling with his left foot.

However, against Maguire, there were often some mistakes in the backfoot dribbling, which led to the goal being conceded.

However, Ling Feng didn't care.

With Maguire as his sparring partner, if you don't practice backfoot at this time, when will you wait?!

In the end, the extra practice lasted for an hour and a half, and the two of them were tired and sweaty, which ended this friendly exchange.

Picking up the water bottle and pouring a mouthful of water into his mouth, Maguire suddenly asked, "Ling, you are obviously so fast, why don't you just use my speed?" ”

"That's what I'm training for!"

"Your backfoot is not very good, and you need to practice."

"Mmmm, when you're defending, don't stretch your feet as much as possible, I know you have long legs."

As they spoke, the two pointed out each other's deficiencies in attack (defense) and discussed how to improve.

I have to say that Maguire's game reading ability and ball intelligence shown in one-on-one defense made Ling Feng's eyes shine.

It is worthy of being able to stand on the English Premier League giants and the Three Lions in the future!

In Ling Feng's view, Maguire's defensive awareness, concentration and air defense ability are even stronger than all the central defenders in the Blue Fox team, such as Moore, Vasileawski, and Morgan!

The central defender position requires a lot of games to gain experience before he can become more comfortable.

While Maguire already has a certain level of physical and technical skills, all he lacks is some game experience.

If you can play more time and slowly play the main force, your strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds!

Of course, whether he can play more time, Ling Feng said that it doesn't count.

Maguire needs to convince the manager with his attitude and performance in training and give him playing time.

The Foxes now have plenty of reserves in the centre-back position, with Morgan, Hut, Moore, Vasilewski, Upson and Maguire!

Morgan and Hut's centre-back partnership was outstanding in the last game.

Vasilewski is injured and will be out for four to six weeks.

Former Great Britain player Upson, who returned from the summer window without a visa, performed too poorly and basically sat on the bench.

That said, over the next month or so, Moore will be the third and fourth centre-back options with Harry Maguire.

Considering the league and Europa League on both fronts, Maguire will certainly be able to get some playing time!

If he can play well, maybe Maguire can still have a chance to stay at Leicester.

In that case, it would be good news for Maguire and Leicester City!

【Ding Dong!】 】

[The achievement of "social media fans exceeded 10 million" has been achieved]

[Achievement Evaluation: A]

[Achievement Reward: Injury Recovery Card!] 】

When the two of them finished practicing and returned to the locker room sweating profusely, Ling Feng heard a warm reminder from the system in his mind!

Well?

Tens of millions of fans?!

He didn't rush to confirm, but took a comfortable hot shower and changed his clothes before taking out his mobile phone.

And the number of fans on his three major social platforms, Twitter, Facebook, and INS, has finally exceeded 10 million!

Enter the [Character Panel] and open the [Item Column], and Ling Feng saw another card glowing with a faint white light next to the [Anti-Injury Card]:

[Item Name: Injury Recovery Card]

[Item Effect: Can speed up the recovery time of any injury!] At the same time, all the hidden dangers of old injuries are eliminated! 】

Speed up recovery time from any injury?

Eliminate all the hidden dangers of old wounds?

After pondering the meaning of these two sentences, Ling Feng realized the role of this card.

In other words, with this card, if he really suffers any injuries, he can recover faster!

Of course, with minor injuries and illnesses, he will definitely be reluctant to use this hard-won [Injury Recovery Card]

If he suffers a serious injury before certain key matches, he can use this card to allow himself to make an early comeback!

I just don't know how much the effect of this card is speeding up?

If it was supposed to be out for three months.

But after using the [Injury Recovery Card], it became two months out of injury, and that didn't make much sense at all!

Considering that this is an achievement reward that can only be achieved by [tens of millions of followers], the effect should be more than that.

Ling Feng was not in a hurry.

When he uses this card one day, the answer will be revealed;

Or rather, he wished he would never need this [Injury Recovery Card].

For Maguire's loan and the achievement of tens of millions of fans on social media, it is just a small episode in life.

As January fades away, there is less and less time left for the major clubs to transfer operations.

Some club managers are still anxiously studying the transfer market, looking for suitable targets;

Some club managers are already lying comfortably in bed, laughing at the turbulence of the transfer market.

Leicester City, run by a small Ben, is the latter!

Originally, Pearson also wanted to acquire Croatian international Andre Kramaric who played in Rijeka to strengthen the attack.

Krieka was also unwilling to lose the team's top scorer in the winter window, and he cried out a whopping £10 million for Kramaric.

Considering the team's stable offensive system, the firepower is ferocious.

And the three strikers of Vardy, Ulloa and Wood are enough, and the price of Kramaric is too expensive.

In the end, after much consideration, Pearson still gave up on the transfer.

Therefore, after Maguire joined on loan, Leicester City FC also publicly announced that this season's winter window reinforcements have come to an end!

。。。

On the last day of the winter window, the Premier League is back in flames!

In the 23rd round, Leicester City will go to Manchester, to the Theatre of Dreams, which carries the glory and glory of the Red Devils, to challenge Manchester United, which is in the trough!

This is also the second meeting between the two sides this season.

This league match at Old Trafford, which has attracted much attention, has also been scheduled to be played in local prime time.

For Manchester United players and fans, the 5-3 win at the King Power Stadium in the fifth round of the Premier League last September is still fresh in their minds.

This time back at home, they are bound to avenge that arrow!

Moreover, Leicester City are also their direct rivals in the race for the top four.

So, Louis van Gaal gave a death order to the Manchester United players, this game must be won!

For Leicester City, the name of Old Trafford is like thunder.

Now, they actually have the opportunity to come to such a great stage to compete, isn't this a dream fulfilled?!

“Glory， glory， Man United”

Glory, glory to Manchester United.

“Glory， glory， Man United”

Glory, glory to Manchester United.

“Glory， glory， Man United”

Glory, glory to Manchester United.

“And the reds go marching on”

The Red Devils are on their way!

When the song of "Glory to Manchester United" echoed throughout the Old Trafford stadium, Ling Feng, who came to the Dream Theater for the first time, felt extremely shocked.

As far as the eye can see, the stands are full of bright red!

Thousands of Blue Fox fans could only huddle in the away stands, which were not spacious, waving their scarves and flags to cheer on their team.

Once upon a time, I was still a fan myself, and many times I fantasized about coming to Old Trafford to watch the game.

Now, not only is he at Old Trafford, but he is also a performer.

The feeling of a dream come true is indescribable.

However, he didn't come here today just to check in to the Dream Theater.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng's eyes suddenly became sharp!

"Alright, let's take a look at the starting line-ups."

With Schmeichel Jr.'s return from injury, Leicester City has presented the strongest lineup!

Goalkeeper: Kasper Schmeichel Jr

Backline: Schlupp, Hut, Morgan, Simpson

Defensive midfield partners: Drinkwater and Cambiaso

Front waist: Ling Feng

Left and right wingers: Jesse Lingard and Riyad Mahrez

Solitaire: Jamie Vardy!

'Centre-back Hut, who is on loan from Stoke City, continues to get a starting role after his excellent performance in the last game.

"Manchester United, on the other hand, have made several position adjustments"

In this game, Rooney, Van Persie, Falcao and Di Maria's four superstars of Manchester United still appeared together.

And the Manchester United prodigy "Jia Baoyu" Januzaj, who was born last season, got the opportunity to start for a long time.

It is worth mentioning that in the first leg of the competition between the two sides, the youngster Blackett was in poor form and proved that his strength could not reach the level of the Premier League, and was abandoned by Van Gaal.

Compared to the backline from the first leg, three positions were adjusted except for Rojo.

Luke Shaw, Phil Jones and Valencia were given the chance to start.

And the goalkeeper is still the most stable link of Manchester United, the Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea!

"Today, Sir Alex Ferguson is still at the Theatre of Dreams, watching the game live"

Accompanied by the narrator's words, the camera focused on the smiling red-nosed old man sitting in the stands.

Since retiring, Ferguson has barely missed every Manchester United home game.

In the minds of all Manchester United fans, the soul of the club will surely be missed.

Many fans will have this idea from time to time:

How nice it would have been if the old Scottish man had sat in the dugout below, instead of sitting in the stands as a special spectator

"With the club's legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson watching, Manchester United's lads will definitely face it with the most positive attitude in this game"

"And the most discussed before the game is naturally whether Ling Feng can lead the Blue Fox to defeat the Red Devils again!"

"The golden boy, who is not yet 20 years old, dominated the game with an amazing performance of one goal and two assists last time he faced Manchester United"

"And this time when we come to the Theater of Dreams, will we witness a big battle?"

"Let's wait and see!"

Beep~~~

With the referee's whistle, the 23rd round of the Premier League, Manchester United VS Leicester City, officially started!

Manchester United, who have home advantage, took the initiative as soon as they kicked off.

In the face of Leicester's possession, several superstars in the front field immediately stepped forward to press.

The Blue Foxes players clearly felt that compared to the first leg, the enthusiasm of the four superstars in the front court was much better.

Among them, Januzaj, who got the chance to start, although he is the most inconspicuous one in Manchester United's front, is indeed the most positive!

This season, under Louis van Gaal, he didn't get as many starts as last season.

However, his energy on the field and his skill at his feet still dazzle the fans.

Perhaps it was the first time to play at Old Trafford, and he was a little nervous, and the drinking brother who was forced to drink wanted to send a through ball to Lingard on the left.

However, the pass was a little lacking and was cut off by Valencia, who were rushing up.

One of Manchester United's four dark kings, Valencia, dribbled the ball forward directly along the right wing, and then observed Januzaj's forward insertion, and immediately sent a straight ball behind him!

Januzaj, who wore the legendary No.11 of Ryan Giggs, received the ball from the rib space between Morgan and Schlupp.

In the next second, he directly ignored the shouts of Rooney in the middle, as well as the gesture of Falcao's raised hand at the far point, took a trip with his left foot, and went directly to the bottom with the ball!

This wave of dribbling immediately attracted Morgan to stick to the past.

At the same time, the space in the middle of Leicester City's penalty area has become extremely empty!

At this time, as long as Januzaj raises his head and observes the ball in the middle and passes the ball to the middle, Van Persie or Rooney at the back point can complete the attack without interference!

However, he didn't look up, and his eyes seemed to be only the ball under his feet, and the range of a few meters in front of him.

I saw him smash his left foot, take two steps towards the goal, and then shoot directly with his leg before being circled.

However, Schmeichel Jr. had already sealed the near corner of the goal and directly punched the ball out to defuse this wave of thrilling attacks.

And seeing Januzaj's operation, not only did many fans hold their heads and lament, but even Ferguson, who was watching the game in the stands, shook his head slightly.

After watching so many Manchester United games, Ferguson has long seen that the potential of this Belgian lad is just that.

Compared to Ling Feng, who is also only nineteen years old, Januzai's foot skills may be more delicate.

However, his ball quotient was 108,000 miles behind Ling Feng
