Chapter 306: Oops, Ling Feng is warming up!

"Finals, here we come!"

This is the front page headline of Leicester City's local newspaper, The Leicester Mercury, on the eve of the second leg of the semi-final of the 2015~16 English League Cup.

On the cover, the Foxes will come to the sidelines to hug Ranieri after the goal in the first leg.

In the first leg between Leicester City and Everton, the Foxes surprised the main lineup and beat Everton 0-2 on the road.

In the second leg, the Blue Foxes, who returned to the King Power Stadium and had the advantage of home and score, chose to let the Blue Foxes rest in rotation to prepare for the next big game against Liverpool.

In Ranieri's view, with the team's mature defensive counter-attacking tactical system, coupled with playing at home, even if the opponent is not weak, it can maintain a draw and win.

It turned out that he saw Ling Feng warming up!

Five minutes later, Leicester kicked the ball off the touchline and finally got a chance to make a substitution!

Seeing Ling Feng standing on the sidelines, the King Power Stadium suddenly resounded with warm cheers and applause.

Why did Martinez look so ugly after his own team's goal equalised?

However, given the last time he joined the giants, the twenty-two-year-old little monster does not plan to leave Everton so soon.

Looking at Lukaku with an excited face, Ling Feng sitting on the bench couldn't help muttering in his heart:

"This guy, this game is in a bit good shape."

And countless fans in front of the TV thought that just Ling Feng's appearance alone would instantly reverse the offensive and defensive balance on the field!

Andy King, who is inserted in the back, shoots at the ball!

And this kind of positive running soon paid off:

In the twenty-second minute of the first half, he received the ball on the right side of the front field and turned around, and then a Belgian soup, into the penalty area, carrying Polish central defender Walewski, and scoring the goal!

"Ling Feng! Ling Feng! Ling Feng! ”

However, neither Andy King nor Inle are the kind of midfielders who can create chances or advance with the ball to launch counter-attacks.

So, it seemed that in order to score another goal before Ling Feng came on the field and establish a lead, Everton, after the goal, continued to attack like crazy.

In their eyes, the black youth wearing the No. 7 jersey is the savior of the team!

Many Blue Fox fans who witnessed Ling Feng couldn't help but think of Ling Feng

Such a routine is too obvious.

And Ling Feng firmly controlled the rhythm of the field on the side of the Blue Fox through his active running position to get the ball and pass.

This also led to a world of difference compared to the quality of Ling Feng's counterattack when he was there!

Thankfully, the team's defense is still doing well.

However, in the last second, Martinez was still clapping with a smile.

You know, Ranieri replaced him on the field to let him finish the game!

As the fourth official on the sidelines took out the substitution card, signaling that there were three minutes of stoppage time, it meant that the game had entered the final stoppage time.

The young face that was black and not slippery couldn't help but show a confident smile:

Run-up, shoot!

With a bang, there was a blast, and a lightning-like thunderbolt was drawn in the air of the King Power Stadium, shooting straight to the goal!

And Lukaku, who assisted, also rushed to his side for the first time and hugged him firmly.

"Ross ~~~ Barkley! What a beautiful goal! ”

However, as the sharpest counter-attacking knife in the team's attacking system, Lukaku has ushered in a statistical explosion this season:

Not only did he score 16 goals in the league, second only to Jamie Vardy, but he also became one of only five players in Premier League history to score 50 Premier League goals before the age of 23.

Under the narrator's slightly agitated narration, Lukaku, who scored the goal, rushed directly to the corner flag area, spread his arms, and accepted the cheers of the fans.

A long-range shot with a shooting power of 99 is in one word: fast!

This free kick is about 38 meters from the goal.

And the Everton players suddenly started to think that it would be nice to keep the score until the end of the game and then go into extra-time.

Whether they can go hand in hand with the attrition of the Premier League and the Europa League and maintain the lead until the end, the state of the substitute squad is very crucial.

However, Ling Feng did not intend to drag the victory to extra-time, or even a penalty shootout that depended more on luck.

In that case, let's show you the power of the shot power 99!

That is: there are no weak teams in the Premier League!

What's more, the "Toffee" Everton has been a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League for more than ten years!

'However, judging by the form of Everton's players, they certainly won't be satisfied with a draw'

If you really want to attack with all your might, it's not something that the Blue Foxes bench can resist.

In the eighty-second minute of the game, after Ling Feng retreated to receive the ball in the midfield, after passing Barkley and Barry who were grabbing, he completed a long-range shot, slightly above the crossbar!

"The ball is in!"

Seeing Ling Feng who began to warm up on the sidelines, the Everton players were also nervous, and couldn't help but recall the scene when the two sides met twice this season and Ling Feng ravaged them.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Feng, who was originally sitting on the bench, directly took off his coat and stood up from the bench.

As if he had really invited a real monster, he turned Leicester City's backfield upside down.

Moreover, in the case of the continuous decline in defensive performance this season, the team's tactical concept of giving up defense and attacking with all its might is to play the team's offensive firepower that is not weak.

Is that what superstars do?!

Leicester, on the other hand, could only retreat into the half, compressing as much space as possible and trying to kill the game with counter-attacks.

As Ling Feng created killing opportunities one after another in the front court and single-handedly pressed Everton's tidal offensive back, Everton's players did not dare to press the attack anymore, but began to shrink the defense.

At half-time, Ranieri briefly thought about making a substitution, but after thinking about it, he didn't do it in the end.

And in this game, the Belgian striker, who was once abandoned by Chelsea, finally broke out!

Whether it's carrying the ball with his back or breaking through on the wing, he can be seen everywhere in the front court.

The visiting fans who followed the team were already cheering in the stands at this time.

Even dragged into a penalty shootout, their chances of finally advancing to the final are not small.

"Wow!"

After helping the team stabilize the situation, Ling Feng began to use his individual ability to start creating a threat to Everton's backfield!

In the 75th minute of the game, Ling Feng pulled the side to receive the ball, and then in the way of Lukaku in the first half, he cooked soup past Everton's left-back Baines and sent an inverted triangle cross.

A second glance at Howard's position a little closer to the near corner showed that the opponent was guarding his own shot around the wall and then hoisted directly into the goal behind him.

Under Everton's bloody attack, Leicester City's defensive formation was finally attacked:

Everton is still pressing Leicester City, which is a crazy friction!

Looking at the substitute lineup that was messed up by Everton's main players on the field, the Blue Foxes fans in the stands were also terrified.

In addition to warming up Ling Feng, Ranieri also called the captain of the field, Andy King, to the sidelines and admonished him:

"Let both Okazaki and Ulloa come back to the midfield to help defend and everybody run!"

Especially without the core players as the backbone on the field, the team's tactical system cannot be fully played.

Fortunately, the Blue Foxes, who were instructed by the head coach, retreated to the half court and defended in an all-round way.

Under the influence of each other, the Everton players burst out with amazing fighting spirit and energy.

"The Toffee Ten was very active from the first minute of the game, and he was full of threats in his movement and with the ball up front.

"Could it be that we are going to witness a reversal?!"

Then, the camera was also given to Everton coach Martinez on the sidelines.

"The top team in the Premier League? In front of my Belgian Inzaghi, it's not worth mentioning! ”

It was only then that all the fans and fans in front of the TV suddenly understood.

On the contrary, Everton's battle can be described as a back-to-back battle.

At the same time, they are also aware that the depth of the squad is still far from the true Premier League giants.

At this time, the on-site director, who was reminded, directly aimed the camera at the home team's bench not far away.

Ross Barkley blasted a shot from the edge of the box and sent the ball into Schwarzer's goal!

After the goal, Barkley rushed directly to the corner flag area and came to an excited kneeling.

In the eighty-fifth minute of the game, after Ling Feng got rid of the ball in the middle, he sent a precise through stopper.

The other four players are Fowler, Owen, Rooney, and Ronaldo!

He also scored five goals in the Carabao Cup to help the team reach the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.

"Ling Feng has started to warm up! The fox finally reacted and was ready to sacrifice their weapons of destruction! ”

The fans also spontaneously chanted his name:

Under the bombardment of Everton, they still survived the first half.

Homegrown talent Ross Barkley, Belgium international Mirallas, Barcelona emperor Deulofeu, former Tottenham winger Lennon and star Romelu Lukaku.

"Huh? Why doesn't Martinez look so dissatisfied? Or did he think it was just an equaliser and not the time to celebrate? ”

Ling Feng's appearance is also immediate for Leicester City's changes on the offensive end!

Whether it's in possession or on the counter-attack, they have a place to pass the ball safely.

Such an outstanding performance has also attracted the attention of many giants.

This game, once again Jean proved a fact.

Everton, who recovered a goal, was even more morale-boosting, and they also realized that they could equalize the score, or even overtake, and attack more and more.

Of course, considering that the scene was completely suppressed, Ranieri still kept a hand after discussing with the assistant coaches:

If the team is still suppressed by the opponent in the seventieth minute of the game, it is necessary to replace Ling Feng and let him stabilize the situation!

However, in the second half, the situation on the field did not change in any way.

"Everton pull a goal back away from home!"

Fortunately, Howard reacted quickly and made a wonderful save to block the ball off the line.

The substitutes will get more minutes in the league.

And most people also believe that Leicester City can withstand Everton's counterattack at home, so that the team can reach the League Cup final for the first time in their history!

However, the direction of the game was beyond everyone's expectations!

Compared with the main lineup in the Premier League, the strength of the Blue Fox's bench is still average.

"Oh!

Even though they are now overpowering the BIG6 teams and staying firmly at the top of the league standings

As the saying goes, if you keep it for a long time, you will lose.

He seemed to have completely forgotten that he had been beaten 2-0 by Ling Feng in the first round.

The fans of the home team showed a helpless look.

I saw that the Blue Foxes coach Ranieri who came to the bench was pointing fingers at the players on the bench.

Especially if you don't have to think about whether you will kick or hurt someone, the ball is faster!

Ling Feng's choice of shooting was beyond everyone's expectations.

And the hero of the goal is still Lukaku, who is in great form in this game!

In the 68th minute of the game, Lukaku, who pulled the side, made an unreasonable soup on the side, passed the fullback, and sent an inverted triangle cross.

The language of the lens is self-evident.

The live broadcast camera focused on Ling Feng, who came to the sidelines to warm up, and then at Martinez, who frowned.

On the few counter-attacking opportunities, they could only split the ball on the side at the first time, advance with the ball through the wingers, and then cross directly to Ulloa and Shinji Okazaki in the middle.

If they can't win by more than three goals, they will miss the chance to reach the cup final for the first time in many years.

Including Everton goalkeeper Howard!

However, although the team's record is not good this season, the defense is vulnerable.

At this time, Ling Feng, wearing No. 7, is already the biggest favorite for the Premier League MVP!

They firmly believe that as long as Ling Feng appears on the stage, everything will be fine!

"Leicester make substitutions! No. 23 Ulloya is down, No. 7 is on Lingfeng! ”

It's just that Ling Feng at that time, wearing No. 23, was a young player who had just been promoted from the youth team.

After all, no matter how good you Ling Feng is, you can only shoot a penalty once.

And they are facing with the main lineup, and in the penalty shootout, they have an advantage.

You know, there are a lot of attacking players in Everton's team.

It's just within Ling Feng's best range!

Ling Feng stood in front of the ball and saw that the human wall had sealed the near corner.

Unfortunately, young left winger Gray shot too hard and hit the ball straight into the stands, missing a chance to make a name for himself.

In the next second, the entire King Power Stadium erupted in deafening cheers, covering the decibels of Everton fans at once.

With the team's huge lead in the league, the main players of the team led by Ling Feng will definitely focus on the field of the Europa League and strive to go further in the Europa League.

"It was Belgian genius Romelu Lukaku who scored the goal!"

He still wants to get the bench as many games as possible to find better form for the game.

When Everton equalised on aggregate away from home, the camera focused on the Everton players who rushed to the visitors' stands to celebrate wildly.

At this moment, Ling Feng was brought down by midfielder McCarthy through the midfield, winning a free kick opportunity for the team.

And in the next second, he turned his head and saw something, but he suddenly stopped what he was doing, his brows furrowed, and his expression became serious.

'Everton equalised on aggregate at the King Power Stadium!'

"If we keep that score until the final whistle, the two sides will go to extra time."

"What about going around the human wall?!"

By the time he realized it, it was too late.

Even if he moved to the right as soon as possible and made a flying side pounce, he couldn't prevent the ball from turning into an afterimage that was difficult to capture, hanging straight to the top right corner of the goal!
