Chapter 276: England's Platinum Generation? hehe
The Blue Foxes have made great progress in the league and won consecutive games, which has attracted close attention from English football and even European football.
As a result, Sky Sports conducted a fan interview, interviewing fans of various teams in major cities in England to ask them what they think of the Premier League title this season.
Most fans don't think Leicester City can win the championship, thinking that the championship will be among Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and other teams
Except for the Blue Foxes, they don't think the team has the strength to win the championship.
At most, they think the team can finish in the top four and qualify for next season's Champions League.
Of course, there are also a handful of fans who believe Leicester City are capable of doing something special this season.
For example, William, who is the manager of Leicester City's die-hard fan organization "Fox Club"!
In the face of an interview with Sky Sports, this die-hard fan of the Blue Foxes, who has been a staunch fan since birth, said with a serious face:
"Mark me, we're going to win this season!"
Then, he also took out the bet slip he had with him and raised it to the camera:
"You see, I've also bet a hundred pounds on the Blue Foxes to win!"
When the reporter asked him why he was so confident, William pulled out the jersey with Ling Feng's autograph on his body and replied:
"I believe in Ling Feng, he will never let us down!"
"Forward, Blue Fox!"
If this interview makes it here, it will be a precious image of the unconditional support and trust of die-hard fans for the team.
But at this time, Bob, the good brother who was standing aside and being interviewed with him, debunked him in front of the camera:
"Don't take this guy to his liar, he made a bet with me last season that he was going to bet £100 a year on Leicester City to win the title until the team actually won the Premier League!"
Although it was just a bet with friends, it was not that the team could actually win the championship.
However, willing to spend £100 a year on the team to win the title, the two are also some of Leicester's most loyal fans!
You know, Leicester City only returned to the Premier League after ten years last year!
Win?
Easier said than done!
It is worth mentioning that the obsession of the people of the British Empire for gambling can be compared with the obsession of the people of the Celestial Empire for eating!
In addition to football and other sports fields, there are many magical single betting games in spinach companies large and small, such as "Justin Bieber was elected president of the United States", "Elvis Presley is not dead but lives in seclusion in the mountains", "can Xiao Lizi win the Oscar" and so on.
Take Leicester City's summer scandal and the change of coach as an example, Spinach also made corresponding bets such as "will Pearson be out of class", "who is the new coach of the Blue Foxes", "Ling Feng will not leave Leicester City this summer" and so on.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Daiying, there is nothing that is not gambling!
And this very interesting interview, after the broadcast, also attracted the attention of the Blue Fox fan base.
Many Blue Fox fans have posted their bet slips on social media.
There are actually many Blue Fox fans who have done the same thing as Big William!
Someone bets five pounds, someone places a bet of ten pounds, and someone bets twenty pounds
And a large spinach company also broke the news, and some people even bet 50,000 pounds on Leicester City to win the championship this year!
You know, Leicester City's odds to win the title are 200 times higher.
In other words, once Leicester City really wins the championship, this 50,000 pounds will become 10 million pounds!
Ling Feng, who learned about this through the comments of fans, also @ William on his social media account, and then tweeted:
"Guys, I'll try my best to keep you from losing money!"
As soon as he finished tweeting with his mobile phone, Ling Feng heard the voice of a female assistant beside him:
"Boss, don't forget, you paid 50,000 pounds yourself"
Hearing this, Ling Feng immediately opened his mouth to correct:
"Not my fifty thousand pounds, but your other boss's fifty thousand pounds!"
Yes.
The only "fan" who bet 50,000 pounds on Leicester City to win the title this season was Ling Feng himself.
However, it was not him who placed the bet, but his agent Mendes.
As a professional player, there are clear rules that you can't participate in any form of spinach behavior.
So, in order not to get himself into trouble, he also specially asked Mendes to place bets.
After all, there is no rule that says that player agents cannot bet.
What's more, this kind of betting method is not betting on the winner or loss of a single game, but just betting on which team will win the championship, and there is no possibility of manipulating the game at all.
The Premier League has to play 38 rounds, and it is impossible to manipulate a Premier League team to win the championship in the end!
Even the FA is just playing a script in the key battle of the championship.
If you don't have the hard power to become a title contender, no one can help Leicester City win the title.
Therefore, as long as Ling Feng himself is not involved, even if his family and friends all buy Leicester City to win the championship, the spinach company can't do anything with him.
It is worth mentioning that when Mendes heard Ling Feng's request to let him bet, Mendes thought that this was just a means for Ling Feng to motivate himself, so he readily agreed.
As everyone knows, Ling Feng is full of confidence and certainty in whether he can lead the team to win the championship!
In his opinion, this is a profitable business.
Moreover, there is no such shop in this village!
。。。
As we enter October, Leicester City officially entered the mode of fighting on two fronts.
In the second round of the Europa League group stage, Leicester City welcomed the Swiss team Sion at home.
Considering that the opponent in the next round of the Premier League is the promoted horse "Canary", the strength is weak, and the rotation can be carried out.
Moreover, the sooner they qualify from the Europa League group, the better it will be for them to rotate and line-up their squad for the second half of the season.
Therefore, in this game, Ranieri only gave Vardy a rest, and the rest of the main players all came on.
In front of the top team in the Premier League, little Sion has no power to fight back.
With a score of five to one, it can be described as a hearty victory!
The day after the victory over Sion, the team came to the Caro Road Stadium in Norfolk County in the east to face the Premier League promotion horse "Canary" Norwich.
In addition to Vardy, who has been rested in the last game and continues to hit the league's consecutive goal record, Ling Feng, Mahrez, Morgan and other main players are all sitting on the bench.
However, the start of the game was not as smooth as expected.
Just fifteen minutes into the game, Norwich, who were playing at home, relied on a corner kick opportunity to beat Leicester City's substitutes through a scuffle in front of goal.
However, the team did not let this distract them.
Just ten minutes later, Vardy latched on to Harry Maguire's long ball from the back and burst into the box to create a penalty.
The Premier League's hottest goalscorer scored the penalty from 12 yards.
After improving his streak of goals beyond eight rounds, he also helped the team equalise.
In the second half, having an understanding of Norwich's player quality and tactics, the Foxes then unceremoniously pressed the attack.
In the end, with Andy King's goalmouth shot, the Blue Foxes won the game away from home.
After a season of training, not only the main players of the team have grown rapidly, but even the substitutes have gained a higher level of game experience.
Coupled with the targeted reinforcement in the summer, the team's substitute lineup also has the strength to defeat the Premier League relegation team!
This game also made many people see the stability of Leicester City against small and medium-sized teams.
Although the league is long, it is often the details that determine the championship.
For example, win the game that should be won and defeat the opponent who is weaker than you!
However, the day after the Blue Foxes won the historic league for eight consecutive victories, a blockbuster news stole the headlines of major media:
Liverpool FC officially announced the resignation of coach Rodgers!
In charge of Liverpool for three and a half years, Rodgers' coaching is remarkable.
Although he was once only one step away from the championship, he also inspired Suarez, who was at his strongest form.
However, the Reds' results in the last two seasons have plummeted.
Last season, they only finished seventh in the league and missed out on European competition.
This season, in the first eight rounds of the league, the Reds have achieved three wins, three draws and two losses, accumulating 12 points and only ranking 10th in the league.
They are 12 points away from the top of the table, Leicester City!
The summer window was reinforced, but the poor start was the main reason for Rodgers' departure.
Brendan Rodgers also became the second Premier League manager to be sacked this season after Sunderland's Advocaat.
According to media reports, Carlo Ancelotti, who was sacked by Real Madrid last season, and former Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp, who is idle at home, are the biggest favorites to take over Liverpool.
Many Reds fans were surprised by the team's sudden decision to change managers, and they were also confused about the team's prospects.
However, at this moment, perhaps only Ling Feng knows that Liverpool are about to welcome a manager who will lead them back to the top.
Next year's Premier League will only be more exciting and intense!
And where your next stop will be has to be considered in the long run
。。。
At the beginning of October, the international break was once again ushered in.
Ling Feng, who returned to the Three Lions, also ushered in the last two rounds of the European preliminaries.
Because they have already qualified early, and their opponents are fish belly like Estonia and Lithuania.
So for the remaining two games, Hodgson is also using newcomers to scout candidates for next year's European Championship.
However, Ling Feng, who was the core of the tactics, started for 60 minutes in both games and was then replaced.
He was replaced by Tottenham supernova Dele Ali.
The speed of Ali's rise in the Premier League is comparable to that of Ling Feng, who stepped onto the Premier League stage at the beginning of last year.
His outstanding performance in the Premier League earned him the appreciation of Hodgson, completing the small achievement of skipping the national youth team and going straight to the senior national team.
And the last one to complete this achievement was Ling Feng last year!
Ling Feng, Kane, Sterling, and Ali, the British stars who made a name for themselves in the Premier League at a young age, have made many British media full of expectations for the future prospects of the Three Lions.
Even some media, in order to attract attention, directly blew up:
"After the golden generation such as Beckham, Owen, Shuangde, and Ferdinand withdrew from the stage, the English football world ushered in a platinum generation led by players such as Ling Feng and Kane!"
In this regard, Ling Feng just smiled and said nothing, but he was hehe in his heart.
He is well aware of the British media's ability to blow and build momentum.
In his opinion, not to mention the players who surpass the golden generation of England, among the so-called "platinum generation" players listed by the media, there are only three and a half people at most who can really start in the luxurious squad of the golden generation of England.
One is Ling Feng, one is Kane, and the other is Walker.
And the other half, it's Sterling.
It's not that I underestimate Sterling, but when he's unhappy, he's still quite strong!
After a brief international break, Ling Feng returned to the club and witnessed another milestone moment in Jamie Vardy's career:
Jamie Vardy, who scored four goals in three games in September, won the first Premier League Player of the Month award of his career, beating the likes of team-mate Ling Feng, Manchester United's rising French star Anthony Martial, and West Ham midfielder Payet.
Unfortunately, even with the team to three consecutive wins in September, "tinkerer" Ranieri once again missed the award of Manager of the Month.
Without him, the team that won three consecutive games in September is not only Leicester City, but also Manchester United and Tottenham.
Among them, Tottenham Hotspur won a 4-1 victory at home, defeating Manchester City, who are currently second in the league.
Given the quality of his opponents, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was awarded Manager of the Month for September.
Leicester fans were glad to be on this, while Tottenham fans couldn't laugh.
However, even after escaping the "curse" of the manager of the month, Leicester City suffered a hard-fought battle in their first league game in October, away at Southampton.
This season, Southampton sent away midfielder Snyderlin and wing star Klein.
However, the team brought in Romeu and Cedric, quickly integrated into the team system, and did a good job of filling the gaps left by the two main players.
Especially in the centre-back position, Dutch centre-back Virgil van Dijk, who signed from Celtic, quickly became the backbone of the team's defence.
This future "world first guard", although he debuted in the Premier League, is a little immature.
However, in this game, the backline he led caused a lot of problems for Vardy and Ling Feng.
Perhaps very afraid of Leicester's quick counter-attack, Southampton is very cautious in attack.
In the away game, Leicester City did not take the initiative to attack, and could only attack the opponent.
As a result, the first half was very dull, with most of the two sides fighting in midfield, fighting for possession, and there was no goal.
It wasn't until the second half that Southampton woke up from a dream and began to intensify their attack.
However, this is exactly what Leicester City wants!
It was with the quick counterattack after the break that Ling Feng sent a scalpel-like through ball to help Vardy burst into the penalty area and scored his twelfth goal of the season!
However, it didn't take too long for Leicester to rejoice, as Southampton unleashed a wave of onslaught up front and won a number of corners up front.
It was from a corner that Van Dijk showed his ability to head the ball into the net of Kasper Schmeichel.
In the end, Leicester managed to draw just one game at St Mary's.
And the team's winning streak is also fixed at eight games.
