Chapter 268: If You Don't Work Hard, Your Talent Will Be Useless!

With N'Golo Kante's relentless sweep in midfield, Eriksen was defended to the ground and Tottenham's attack in the middle hit the rocks, leaving them with more options on the wings.

But since Lennon and Bale, Tottenham's wingers have actually lost their speed.

Both Chadley and Lamela are in-cut wingers with good skills at their feet, but no absolute speed.

It wasn't so easy to face the two experienced defensive full-backs of Simpson and Fuchs.

Thankfully, Tottenham's two full-backs were fast enough!

Therefore, the attacking routine of the two wingers is mainly to take the ball and cut inside, giving up space on the side for the full-backs behind them.

However, such a slightly monolithic offensive routine is right in the Blue Foxes' defensive strategy.

The full-backs frequently put on assists, and the space behind them is even greater.

Repeated flank attacks were fruitless, but instead gave Leicester a chance to counterattack!

In first-half stoppage time, the Blue Fox once again showed their sharp fangs!

With left-back Rose making a mistake in his cross after a set on the left and being cut off again by N'Golo Kante, the Foxes launched a quick counter-attack again.

N'Golo Kante passed the ball to a nearby drinker, who looked up to see the movement of his team-mate up front and found Mahrez on the right with a long pass.

Even though Rose was frantically chasing back behind him, Mahrez still dribbled the ball along the right side and quickly advanced to the right side of the field.

Meanwhile, Pierdy in the middle ran diagonally to the left, attracting Tottenham centre-back Alderweireld to move laterally and slightly distance himself from the other centre-back.

And Ling Feng, who was inserted at high speed, got a one-on-one chance with another Tottenham central defender, Vertonghen.

With Mahrez's low flat ball knocking on the middle, Ling Feng met the ball, grabbed Vertonghen's leg to block, stretched out his foot and gently picked it up, and the whole person stopped and smashed into the big penalty area!

"Even stopped! Masterclass handling! ”

"Single-handed!"

Facing Lori, who bent down and spread his arms in front of the goal, like a Gallic goose, Ling Feng smiled contemptuously and swung his legs to push the far corner.

And Lloris also subconsciously made a judgment, moving a step to the right to try to block the shot.

However, what he didn't expect was that Ling Feng's shot was actually a feint!

After swaying at his feet, after deceiving Lori to move in advance, Ling Feng took advantage of the situation with the outside of his instep, and kicked hard with his left foot supporting foot, and the whole person rushed out.

This time, he directly passed the unbalanced Lori.

And this scene directly made many Blue Fox fans raise their arms in advance and make a goal celebration!

With a light push, confirming that the ball rolled into the empty door, Ling Feng turned around in a dashing manner like an ancient chivalrous man who killed people without leaving a trace.

Then, he ran to the front of the main stand, paused, opened his arms, and made his own celebratory gesture!

"What a perfect feint! What a perfect outstanding! What a perfect goal!! ”

For this goal, the commentator actually repeated the word "perfect" three times in a row.

"This goal brought the Blue Foxes' lead in the first half to two goals!"

"Having said that, Ling Feng's celebration has become one of the coolest celebrations in the Premier League!"

meanwhile

Looking at the Blue Foxes No. 7 who stood in front of the main stand with his head held high, opened his arms, and accepted the worship of the fans like a king, Dele Alli, Winks and other Tottenham young people sitting on the bench of the away team, his heart suddenly surged.

If they have read "Historical Records", they may also sigh directly in their hearts:

The husband should be like this!

Ali, in particular, pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, and his eyes were full of envy and jealousy.

This black-haired young man, who is obviously only one year older than himself, is already able to dominate the direction of the game in the Premier League and enjoy the cheers and applause of thousands of fans.

He also broke various records and became the Premier League's all-time assist leader in a single season, as well as the proud son of the British and the absolute core of the Three Lions.

Even in everyone's eyes, he is a strong contender for the best in the Premier League!

In contrast, the fact that he has not yet stepped onto the Premier League stage at the age of 19 is simply a world of difference.

However, Ali, who was arrogant, was very envious of Ling Feng's wonderful experience. However, in his heart, he didn't think he was worse than Ling Feng.

Maybe he was indeed inferior to Ling Feng at this stage, but he was confident that he could catch up with Ling Feng.

Since Ling Feng can let the Premier League see his dazzling light at the age of nineteen, he can too.

Just one chance to show his talent in front of the world!

And this opportunity will soon come!

As the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the visiting players returned to the dressing room in frustration.

"Guys, I'm not happy with your performance on the field. We have to do better! ”

'In the second half, we had to be more resolute.

Due to N'Golo Kante's defence in the middle, Eriksen was basically forced by Pochettino to continue to strengthen the attack on the wing, allowing Eriksen to switch positions more with Chadley on the left and move to the wing to organise and pass.

Then let Lamela on the right increase the frequency of cutting in.

Finally, he did not forget to remind Kane, who had little chance in the first half, to drop back more to get the ball and play some wall cooperation with his teammates.

And these tactical changes, although they make Tottenham's attacking routines in the front court more layered.

However, they met N'Golo Kante, the 'future world number one' who made his Premier League debut for the first time!

Kante is grateful for the opportunity Ranieri has given him.

He is determined to repay the manager with his performance on the field!

So, he's like a steal robot that never stops, and wherever there's a ball, he'll be there.

His range of activities is not limited to the middle, but also on the sidelines of the left and right wings, which have traces left by his efforts to fight for the ball!

In this game, this black dwarf made everyone see it

There are even many Blue Fox fans who know the ball, and they have begun to play memes on the Internet:

"Wearing a blue jersey, black French midfielder, obsessed with tackles, guess a player?"

"Makellele: Yes, exactly. N'Golo Kante: Down! ”

"Blue Fox's Makelele!"

When the game came to the 60th minute, watching Lamela on the field once again be cut off by Kante because of too much ball, Pochettino couldn't stand it anymore!

It's time to try something daring!

He turned around and looked at the players on the bench, his gaze meeting Ali in the air:

"Dele! Go warm up! ”

Hearing this, Ali first shook his head, and then was poked by Winks beside him, and then suddenly jumped up:

"Yes, Coach!"

Joining Ali in the warm-up was the team's true midfielder, Moussa Dembele!

Minutes later, Pochettino replaced Lamela with Alli and Dembele for Bentaleb.

The camera is also focused on Dele Ali, who is about to make his Tottenham and Premier League debut.

"Dele Ali, the nineteen-year-old midfielder, made his professional debut as early as the age of sixteen."

"He was bought by Tottenham for £5 million in the winter window last season, and in the second half of the season, he continued to play on loan at Milton Keynes Dons in League One"

"It wasn't until the end of May that I officially joined Tottenham."

"This young man has excellent off-ball movement and back penetration, and his physical talent is also visible to the naked eye. Especially the marksmanship, in the midfield, is absolutely outstanding."

"However, his passing and vision still need to be learned from Eriksen, who is a senior in the team."

"In time, he may be able to become the backbone of the Three Lions!"

"We need to give every young person with potential some time and patience."

"After all, not every nineteen-year-old is a super genius like Rooney, Owen and Ling Feng."

Under the introduction of the commentator, Ali also high-fived Lamela, and then stepped on the stage of the Premier League for the first time!

After coming on, Alli replaced Bentaleb and formed a double midfield with Dier, Dembele was pushed up in the forward position, and the original forward Eriksen was temporarily moved to the right.

Seeing Ali come off the bench, Ling Feng's heart couldn't help but ripple.

His impression of Ali can only be said to be average.

There is even a kind of regret that some hate iron and cannot become steel.

Strictly speaking, Ali is a typical example of many people who have ruined themselves.

The family's growth background, personality flaws, and psychological problems made the British star, who was once praised by the media, begin to indulge himself in the rising period of his career and no longer focus on football.

wasted his time and talent in vain, from a giant with a value of 100 million euros to a Tottenham outcast who had no ball to play, and finally became another famous injury Zhongyong in football.

Seeing the young and vigorous Ali at this moment, Ling Feng recalled a classic quote from Brother Luo at an award ceremony:

When the host asked Ronaldo, "What is the biggest secret of his success", Ronaldo pondered for a moment before answering:

"If you don't work hard, talent will be useless!"

。。。

As time went on, Tottenham's youth army pressed the whole formation even more under the big hand of young coach Pochettino.

Even the centre-backs were pressed to the top of the arc in the centre circle.

And with the arrival of Dembele, Tottenham's attack suddenly became more rhythmic.

Although he was pushed to the forward position, Dembele's habit is still to retreat to receive the ball, and then organize the side.

And it just so happens that Ali is also a player with a very strong desire to attack, kicking and kicking, and he involuntarily moves forward, and then plays passes and cooperates with several people in the front court.

As a result, when Dembele retreated, Ali would step in to participate in the attack, thus forming a transposition.

For this central change for Tottenham, the Foxes were clearly a little unprepared.

In the 75th minute of the game, Tottenham finally got the best chance of the game:

Dembele's sudden kick went straight through Kante and Drinker to the retreating Kane.

The latter leaned Morgan with his back, then observed his teammate's movement, and immediately turned into a turret and knocked the ball sideways.

Then Ali, who was inserted, poked the ball before Hut stretched out his leg to break the ball, and then accelerated into the penalty area.

Facing Schmeichel Jr., he fired a low right-footed shot into the far corner.

"Dele~~~ Ali!"

"Wow!"

"The youngster scored his first Premier League goal on his Premier League debut!"

"Such a debut is definitely worth remembering for the nineteen-year-old Dele Ali!"

"Remember, Tottenham isn't just Harry Kane, there's Dele Alli too!"

However, after the goal, Ali did not celebrate passionately, but immediately rushed into the goal, picked up the ball and ran back.

This scene made the away Tottenham Hotspur fans suddenly burst into amazing cheers and applause.

Many Tottenham fans suddenly had a good impression of this young man who had just joined!

And Ling Feng also raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

That's nice!

The current Ali has not yet begun to rot!

There is also a desire for victory in my heart!

However, what he didn't expect was that when Ali put the ball on the tee-off, he actually looked at him deliberately and then raised his chin to him.

From that look, Ling Feng felt a hint of provocation.

This provocative look is a riposte to his last goal, and it is also a challenge to him, the first player of England's new generation of players.

I heard that you are the best young man in England and the world?

I'm not convinced!

However, the dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Don't say Ali's current level, even Ali at his peak is not enough to compare with the current Ling Feng!

It was only five minutes after Ali's goal that Ling Feng made the Premier League rookie understand why he was the most valuable player below the U21 level in the world:

Riyad Mahrez drew a foul on Rose on the right and the Foxes were awarded a set-piece.

And Ling Feng, who took the set-piece, first took three steps back, then accelerated to run, swinging his leg and jerking it with the inside of his foot.

In the next second, the ball drew an elegant arc in the air and accurately found Hute who was ambushed at the back of the goal.

Then, at the highest altitude of the Blue Foxes, he pressed Walker, who was under him, and smashed the ball into the net with a powerful headbutt!

And this goal, like a plate of cold water, immediately extinguished the fighting spirit that the Tottenham players had just ignited.

And this assist also gave Ali and all the viewers who watched this game a glimpse of what is called a fatal landing point, the art of crossing!

The most important thing is that after sending the assist, Ling Feng did not forget to look at Ali, and then raised his chin to him and smiled back.

At that moment, Ali's heart was only filled with shock and awe.

He's really strong!

After kick-off again, the Tottenham players became more and more impatient and began to press frantically in the front court.

However, after the Foxes seized a counter-attack opportunity and almost sent the ball into the goal again, they did not dare to continue to attack so fiercely.

Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Tottenham could not really threaten Leicester's goal again in the final ten minutes.

And this third round of the focus of the battle, with the Blue Foxes winning three consecutive victories
