Chapter 231: The Duel of the Two Assist Kings!

If De Bruyne is the best attacking midfielder in the Bundesliga at the moment.

Then, Ling Feng is the best attacking midfielder in the Premier League at present!

As the offensive core of their respective teams, the performance of the two will largely determine the offensive quality of the team, thus affecting the direction of victory and defeat.

With Ling Feng's unrivalled speed and explosiveness in the Premier League, as well as his ability to run and cover the defensive end and anticipate it, it is entirely possible for him to freeze De Bruyne.

This is also why Pearson wants to limit Wolfsburg's attack through Ling Feng's method of playing against De Bruyne!

And just as the tactical meeting was about to end, a young coach in charge of tactics reminded Pearson with one sentence:

"Gentlemen, I don't know if you remember our game against Tottenham."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately reacted.

Truly.

This is not the first time that the team has moved Ling Feng to another position, thus limiting the opponent's core players.

In the Christmas game with Tottenham two months ago, in order to limit Walker's advance on the right flank, they moved Ling Feng from the middle to the left, so as to suppress Tottenham's attack on the right.

And as it turned out, such a tactical line of thought was wrong!

They can limit the opponent's core or breaking point.

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

In order to limit the opponent's offensive core, using the offensive core of your own team as a victim of Duzi will only sacrifice the team's offensive firepower!

This is the folly of self-destruction of the Great Wall!

As the saying goes, a word wakes up the dreamer!

And this reminder made Pearson instantly dispel the idea of letting Ling Feng retreat.

Whether in training or in the game, Ling Feng played the best position in the team, which was the forward midfielder of the No. 10 position.

Dropping back into midfield will only keep him further away from the box and the goal, making him less of an attacking threat.

Therefore, even at the risk of being blown up by De Bruyne in the middle of the defense, they cannot move Ling Feng to the midfield position!

Because, they need Ling Feng to help the team score goals on the offensive end to win the opponent.

The ultimate goal of a soccer game is always to score one more goal than the opponent!

Besides, the Europa League knockout round is a two-legged match.

If the tactics of the first leg do not work well, Drinkwater and Cambiasso will not be able to guard De Bruyne.

Then, in the second round, you can also make tactical changes, and then retreat Ling Feng to the midfield, and it is not too late to match him

。。。

At the same time, far away in Wolfsburg in the German state of Lower Saxony.

Wolfsburg coach Heijin, as well as his coaching staff, also gathered together for a tactical meeting against Leicester City:

"Leicester City's offensive firepower is definitely not to be ignored!"

"The frontcourt foursome led by Ling Feng cooperated very tacitly and passed smoothly"

'They are also very dangerous in their high pressing, so we have to get the ball out as quickly as possible at the back and not drag it out.

"Going to Leicester, we still have to stick to our counter-attacking tactics, take every opportunity to counter-attack, push into the opponent's half in the fastest time, and then finish shooting"

Wolfsburg have had a strong season and have even challenged Bayern's dominance in the league.

Not only because of the outstanding performance of De Bruyne, Dost, Gustavo and other powerful and famous players, but also because of the tactical play of head coach Black Gold, which has a very close relationship.

Wolfsburg under the rule of black and gold also focuses on the 4231 formation.

And the core position of this formation is the front midfield!

In the same way that Pearson hugged Ling Feng's thighs tightly, Heijin also wisely chose to hand over the team's attacking responsibilities to De Bruyne, a talented midfielder.

Most of the team's attacking tactics are built around Kevin De Bruyne!

Speaking of which, De Bruyne and Wolfsburg are mutually successful.

At Chelsea, the fledgling Kevin De Bruyne was not recognised by the manager due to the fierce competition up front and his own lack of ability.

After a short loan spell at Bremen in the Bundesliga, he quickly adapted to the Bundesliga's relatively wide open league environment and rhythm.

After moving to Wolfsburg, De Bruyne really got the absolute trust of the head coach and a great degree of tactical freedom, and was finally able to display his offensive talent on the stage of the Bundesliga!

A future world-class top midfielder, coupled with a group of powerful stars, has created a strong performance in the league this season!

If it weren't for the early run-in, the big hole dug in the league, coupled with the lack of squad depth, and the Europa League and German Cup, Wolfsburg would have really threatened Bayern's Bundesliga title.

However, Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga has always been very stable.

You know, until the defeat to Wolfsburg on January 30, Bayern under Pep Guardiola had been unbeaten in 17 games this season!

Before the Europa League knockout round, Wolfsburg lost away to Augsburg.

After twenty-four rounds of the league, Bayern has 61 points and Wolfsburg 50 points.

It's a whopping eleven points behind!

After seeing that the league title was hopeless, the senior management and head coach of Wolfsburg also shifted the focus of the game to the two cup competitions that could compete for the championship.

Europa League and German Cup!

In the German Cup, they have eliminated RB Leipzig to reach the quarter-finals.

And the only obstacle for them to the quarterfinals of the Europa League is Leicester City, the "super promoted horse" who has also performed well this season!

After the tactical meeting, Wolfsburg coach Heijin called the entire Wolfsburg team to the video room.

It is said that it is to watch the opponent's game video, but in fact, it is to watch Ling Feng's personal game video and highlights, and then listen to the assistant coach explain on the side how to limit the tactical details of this Blue Fox No. 7.

In the words of coach Heijin, it is:

"As long as we limit Ling Feng's play, we can win the game!"

And when the assistant coach was talking, De Bruyne, who was sitting in the front, always had an inexplicable feeling of dΓ©jΓ  vu.

And at this moment, his teammate Perisic next to him came over and said to him:

"Hey, Kevin, he passes the ball a lot like you!"

This sentence made Ding Ding suddenly realize!

Speaking of which, Ling Feng and De Bruyne's style of play are somewhat similar.

Especially after Ling Feng strengthened his ability to advance with the ball, the roles and roles of the two on the court are more similar.

They mainly use the pass to link up teammates, and then send threatening balls to tear apart the opponent's defence.

Occasionally dribble the ball to advance counter-attacks, instigate attacks, and even occasionally shoot from outside the penalty area.

The difference is just a subtle difference in ability.

This season, among the top five European leagues, there have been many young talented midfielders in the number 10 position.

And Real Madrid's J Ronaldo, Leicester City's Ling Feng and Wolfsburg's De Bruyne are the three hottest supernovas!

Among them, under the unsparing praise and publicity of the British media, Ling Feng's fame is even much greater than that of the other two.

Therefore, when visiting YouTube and social media, De Bruyne has also brushed up on Ling Feng's game highlights more than once.

Of course, he would never have thought that Ling Feng's passing ability came from his prime.

"It's kind of like. However, his passes are more accurate and more difficult to defend than mine! ”

"And he's so much faster than me!"

As soon as the words fell, on the projection screen of the tactics room, a clip of Ling Feng directly sending an accurate arc cross to assist his teammates to score after making soup for defenders on the side was played.

And this wave of operations directly shocked all the Wolfsburg players present.

The defenders, in particular, swallowed their saliva in unison.

Made?

This brunette kid is too fierce, right?!

At this time, Perisic couldn't help but turn his head and said to De Bruyne, who was frowning:

"He's faster than you!"

You must know that the current Ling Feng has the vision and passing of De Bruyne at the peak, the speed and explosion of the Premier League, and the personal ability of single-point explosion.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ling Feng is definitely stronger than the current De Bruyne!

It was precisely because of Ling Feng's visible strength that Black Gold would emphasize his great threat to his disciples over and over again.

Of course, this is just the focus and the center of gravity on the defensive end.

When the team is attacking, the focus and routine of the attack are different:

"When we attack on possession, we can look for breakthroughs from the opponent's two midfielders."

'The central midfield duo of Drinkwater and Cambiaso have made the most starts for Leicester this season. If nothing else, they will also start in two days' time."

As he spoke, the projection screen also began to play the video footage and highlights of the two men's match.

"We can see that Leicester's midfielders are not parallel when attacking."

"Cambiaso tends to get involved in the attack, while Danny Drinkwater drags the back and rarely gets in."

"What we have to do is to take advantage of the huge gap left behind Cambiaso when the offense and defense are switching!"

After a pause, Black Gold looked at the blonde young man who was a little introverted:

"Kevin, push as far down the middle as you can, and then choose to split the ball or shoot from distance."

"I think you should know how to do it."

Hearing this, De Bruyne just nodded and did not answer.

"Also, we have to press more up front, Kevin, Bass (Dost), AndrΓ© [Schurrle], the three of you can run around Drinkwater and Cambiaso and press"

。。。

March 13th.

Weather, sunny.

Tens of thousands of fans inside the King Power Stadium have been waiting for a long time.

"Welcome to the 14~15 season Europa League quarterfinals, Leicester City vs. Wolfsburg first leg match."

"Let's take a look at the starting line-ups"

"The tactical formation used by both sides is 4231"

"As for Wolfsburg, the goalkeeper is still Swiss international Benaglio. At the back, they are No. 8 Vierinha, No. 5 Klose, No. 25 Naldo, and No. 34 Rodriguez"

"The two midfielders are No. 22 Gustavo and No. 23 Giravogui."

"There are three attacking midfielders, No. 17 Schurrle and No. 7 Caligiuri are on the left and right, and De Bruyne on the 14th is in the middle."

"On the top of the front line is the Dutch striker Dost, who has played an eye-catching role this season!"

Wolfsburg's starting eleven, except for Perisic, who was replaced by Schurrle, almost did their best!

Leicester City, on the other hand, also intends to seize the opportunity at home and lay the foundation for victory over the two legs.

With the exception of Harry Maguire, who made his first Europa League start and partnered Hutter at centre-back, he has been a regular starter this season in all other positions.

goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr.;

The back four are Simpson, Hut, Maguire, and Schlupp;

The midfield partners "Drinking Brother" Drinkwater and Cambiaso;

The front foursome is Ling Feng, Vardy, Mahrez plus Lin Huang!

In the player's tunnel, Ling Feng also saw the future "World One Middle School" strong contender for the first time - "Tintin" De Bruyne!

For De Bruyne, his heart is mixed.

Especially when he thought that if he used Ding Ding's passing ability on the field to defeat him, Ling Feng inexplicably felt a sense of NTR.

Made, what the hell am I thinking?!

After shaking his head and shaking off the distracting thoughts in his mind, Ling Feng's eyes suddenly became a lot sharper.

This head-to-head clash with Kevin De Bruyne is the best chance to test his current strength.

He wants to see who is more powerful than Tintin in the Wolfburg period!

Amid the introduction of the stadium DJ and the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the players from both sides walked into the stadium.

The on-site camera is also frequently aimed at the core players of the two teams, that is, Ling Feng and De Bruyne!

'The core players on both sides are talented young midfielders. One is the assist king in the Premier League and the other is the assist king in the Bundesliga"

"Who's the better one?"

With a long whistle from the referee, Leicester City kicked off first.

Vardy immediately passed the ball back to Ling Feng.

In the next second, several people in the front court of Wolfsburg immediately pounced forward like beasts out of the cage.

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Yo ho, you guys also play high pressing?

Facing the oncoming Dost, Ling Feng did not hesitate, just knocked his feet, and passed the ball back to Cambiaso behind him, and then moved forward again.

However, as soon as he ran forward five or six meters, Ling Feng found that there were two more "personal bodyguards" with black faces around him

It was two black midfielders at Wolfsburg, Brazil international Gustavo and French international Gillavogui!

Whenever Ling Feng showed his intention to catch the ball, the two back midfielders of Wolfsburg would not hesitate to step forward and attack.

Just by touching the ball for the second time, Gustavo directly knocked Ling Feng over and gave him a dismount.

Although it was whistled for a foul. However, from Gustavo's provocative eyes, Ling Feng felt the importance of his opponent towards him.

In this regard, Ling Feng had already expected this.

He would have been surprised if Wolfsburg hadn't restrained him

In order to avoid hand-to-hand combat with the two black backs, Ling Feng chose to constantly run open to catch the ball, and then kicked the ball.

Even so, his time and space with the ball were greatly compressed by two tall and strong black midfielders.

However, Ling Feng is not the only point in the midfield that can hold the ball.

He was seen running off the ball, drawing the attention of the two midfielders as he motioned to his teammates to hand over the ball to Cambiaso.

Cambiaso's responsibilities in the Leicester City squad are mainly as a hub in central midfield, helping to get the ball out at the back.

His role and role at Leicester City is the equivalent of Barcelona's Sergio Busquets.

And it is the role that is so important, as soon as Cambiaso got the ball, he was pressed and forced by the Wolfsburg frontcourt trio Dost, De Bruyne and Schurrle!
