"The ball is in!"

"Wow!"

"In the face of Leicester's fierce attack, Manchester United seem powerless!"

'At Old Trafford, Vardy scored again!'

"He deserves to be a wealthy killer!"

Since promotion to the Premier League last season, Jamie Vardy has been the Foxes' top scorer against a BIG6 side.

Among them, Manchester United is his favorite opponent.

In four meetings so far, Vardy has scored four goals!

And Manchester United is also the Premier League team with the most assists from Ling Feng!

Manchester United's huge traffic, coupled with Leicester City's amazing performance this season, has made this Premier League civil war in the Europa League a lot of attention, and it has also attracted many football celebrities to watch the game.

In addition to Lord Alex Ferguson, who must be there to watch every home game, and the team's CEO "Three Virtues" Woodward, Manchester United's famous Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, and Rio Ferdinand all came to the scene.

As a result, it was only fifteen minutes before he was slapped in the face.

In their opinion, you can retire from Ferguson and stay at home for tea, watch soap operas, or come to the stadium to watch the ball and blow the water, and stop dictating to the club.

Moreover, it was the first time Woodward had heard Ferguson speak so highly of a young player!

Although I was also very interested in the proposal of "signing Ling Feng" in my heart.

Because, they can't keep up with Ling Feng's speed at all, so how can they talk about their bodies and limitations?!

In addition, Three Lions coach Roy Hodgson, Under-21 manager Gareth Southgate, and scouts from major clubs have also closely watched the performance of the players on the pitch.

。。。

Previously, Ferguson had recommended Ling Feng to the club's hierarchy more than once.

Hearing this, Scholes smiled helplessly, so he had to shrug his shoulders and spread his hands.

It was only at this time that after the investigation and analysis of his business team, Woodward finally realized a very important thing:

At the same time, Ferguson, who was sitting not far away, also said to Woodward beside him:

"If this young man can come to Manchester United, the team's attack will not have to worry!"

Hearing this very layman's rhetorical question, Ferguson rolled his eyes directly, and then said mercilessly:

As for this Manchester United team, he doesn't care about it at all.

However, United see him as the most dangerous player on the pitch!

Instead, through his excellent business vision, he discovered the great value of Ling Feng to Manchester United's commercial brand!

Moreover, even if he really wants to sign Ling Feng, he should be in charge!

Staring at Ling Feng's figure on the field, Woodward also made a decision in his heart:

"Looks like it's time to give that Portuguese trafficker a call."

"So, do you think he's good enough?"

Although Alex Ferguson officially retired three years ago and no longer interferes in the affairs of the club personally.

"Old man, do you still think that I am still the little Ed who followed you and listened to the yelling and shouting?"

"What do you think? Even if you don't know the ball anymore, you can still know the Premier League assist king, and the gold content of the Premier League's goals and assists are double-doubled, right? ”

Before the game, Scholes also said in an interview that the combination of Fellaini and Snyderlin's back in this game is full of hardness, and it can be more physical confrontation against Ling Feng and limit his activities.

At first, Manchester United's management, led by Woodward, was reluctant to follow Ferguson's advice.

However, Woodward does not believe that he followed Ferguson's advice before planning to sign Ling Feng.

Looking at the Blue Fox No. 7 with his teammates walking towards his own half, Ferdinand, who has always admired him, couldn't help but sigh:

"If he can come to Manchester United, then the team's attack will not be constipated."

However, the brilliance of the superstar cannot be ignored and concealed!

As Ling Feng's performance in the Premier League and European competitions became more and more amazing, his value rose and became a popular fried chicken for major giants in Europe.

"You're right. Now this Manchester United team can't stop him at all."

And as the godfather of the club, Manchester United's hierarchy cannot completely ignore Ferguson's opinion.

In the heart of the Manchester United CEO, however, he was unimpressed.

This goal was started by Ling Feng easily passing this pair of back-back combinations!

"Even if you don't understand, you can understand that among the young players of the same age in the world, there is a player who is worth more than him?"

"Is he really that good?"

"I can say that he has all the qualities to be the number one midfielder in the world!"

However, over the past few years, the Scottish man has used his enormous influence over the club to a greater or lesser extent, constantly interfering with the club's decision-making.

At this moment, seeing Ling Feng send an assist to help Vardy take the lead in penetrating the Manchester United goal, Ferdinand, who was sitting next to Scholes, couldn't help but joke about his old teammate:

"Paul, do you still think you can restrain him?"

Especially with his outstanding appearance and love with his supermodel girlfriend, this 20-year-old has become popular all over the world, and his commercial value far exceeds that of other long-established English stars.

This is also the reason why in the past few transfer windows, Manchester United have not really approached Ling Feng and tried to sign him.

As the most popular football icon in England and the heart of the Three Lions' midfield, Ling Feng's popularity and fame in England can be called the Beckham of the new era.

He's just hoping to help his side get as big a win as possible at Old Trafford to take the second leg out of the way.

Ling Feng didn't know what everyone in the stands was thinking.

In the face of Ferguson's sneering, Woodward nodded on the surface, like a junior who listened very carefully to his teachings.

From a business point of view alone, Lingfeng is definitely a super premium stock with a very high rate of return!

It is worth mentioning that Mourinho, the "madman" who is rumored to have reached a personal agreement with Manchester United, also came to the scene to watch the game!

And sitting next to him is the football agent predator Mendes.

"I'm the one who talks about Manchester United now, Mr. Wu!"

Whether it's jersey sales, or advertising

If Ling Feng is signed, it will definitely bring rich and considerable commercial income to the club, and even drive the influence of the Manchester United brand in Europe and even the world.

After he provided the assist for Jamie Vardy to open the scoring, the United midfielders defended him more tightly.

However, the two Manchester United defenders Fellaini and Sneidlin, who were responsible for marking him, were both the kind of tall midfielders who were a little bulky and couldn't keep up with Ling Feng's speed at all!

And the retreating Mata also did not cause the slightest interference to Ling Feng.

Therefore, the Manchester United side had no other way but to use rough aggression and grappling to prevent Ling Feng from taking the ball.

However, because Ling Feng's powerful free kick was too lethal, they didn't dare to foul Ling Feng in the area of 30 to 40 meters.

They have to block Ling Feng without fouling free kicks, which also increases the difficulty of their defense.

This is also the reason why Ling Feng's average number of violations per game this season is less than last season!

In order to avoid falling into the trap of Fellaini and Schneiderlin, Ling Feng also increased the frequency of empty running, not only in the middle of the road, but also frequently cruising to the left and right wings, and playing some passing and cutting with the two wingers.

At the same time, they also choose to play more with one kick and do not give the opponent the opportunity to infringe on themselves.

Under Ling Feng's tandem, Leicester City instead firmly controlled possession, and then used the combination of passing and cutting to constantly create a threat to Manchester United's goal.

If De Gea hadn't played consistently, high and low, Leicester would have extended the score long ago.

In the face of Leicester City's fierce attack, Manchester United's back line is also under tremendous pressure.

Especially the starting central defender of this game, Blind Jr., only half an hour into the game, he began to gasp for breath.

The second-generation star, who has a father who is a very famous football star, debuted in the star factory Ajax.

He may have inherited his father's talent for football, with a high ball quotient and excellent passing and foot skills.

However, his physical fitness is lackluster.

Not only is the physical confrontation ability not up to average, but the speed is also pitifully slow.

Even his name, Daley, was ridiculed by fans as Delay

Of course, a player who plays with his brain is always more popular than a player who eats with his body, and his career is longer.

Although the beginning of his career was a bit of a twist and turn.

But in the 13~14 season, Blind still occupied a main left-back at Ajax, and was appreciated by Van Gaal to participate in the World Cup in Brazil.

After the World Cup in Brazil, he was also brought to Manchester United by Louis van Gaal with his outstanding performance.

Last season, he was also the team's main midfielder, and his performance was decent.

And this season, with the addition of Sweinsteiger and Snyderlin, coupled with the team's original Herrera, Fellaini, Carrick and other backs, he has been moving back in the team's midfield.

Speaking of which, Blind is in an awkward position at Manchester United.

He seems to have excellent ball intelligence and skills, and can play multiple positions in the back, which is a panacea at the back.

In fact, no matter what position he is, it is difficult for him to be the main player of Manchester United.

If he is allowed to play as a full-back, his speed problem is too obvious to catch up with those Premier League wingers;

If he is allowed to play the role of a pivot in the midfield, the team's ceiling is limited, and the dominance in the top flight is obviously insufficient;

As for the central defender, he has neither height nor body, and he is even more of a target to be ravaged by strikers!

As Van Gaal's descendant, Van Gaal cannot give up Blind, and can only integrate it into the team's tactical system as much as possible.

In order to match the team's possession tactics and the team's central defenders have suffered many injuries, Van Gaal transformed Blind into a ball-playing centre-back.

In this way, there are pros and cons.

The team has a consistent backcourt exit point and is able to attack directly from the back through Blind's precise diagonal long passes.

However, his defensive ability is very average.

Especially in the back waist that does not have strong running ability to protect, the shortcomings of physical fitness is not good enough, will be infinitely magnified.

Once faced with some speed or physical power of the striker, Blind will be the weakest point in United's backline!

And Ranieri also saw that Blind was the most obvious breakthrough in United's backline.

So specially arranged for Vardy to press Blind as the backfield point, and then told Ling Feng and Mahrez to impact Blind more on this point.

And such a tactical arrangement has really achieved good results!

When the game came to the 40th minute, Leicester City, who were beaten hard by Manchester United, expanded the score again:

Ling Feng switched positions with Riyad Mahrez and then forced a blast down the right flank to send a deadly cross past Rojo.

Mahrez, in the middle, stopped and flicked into the far corner, once again penetrating De Gea's ten fingers!

"Wow!"

"Leicester have scored again!"

"Riyad Mahrez has a beautiful shot through the United goal!"

"The one who gave him the assist was still No. 7 Ling Feng!"

In the end, Manchester United withstood the pressure of the collapse in the first half and held on to the score of 0-2.

Seeing the team completely suppressed by the opponent at home, Van Gaal took the initiative to change at half-time.

He replaced the youngster Rashford with the veteran Carrick, and then directly changed the formation to 3412!

Carrick, Marcos Rojo and Smalling partnered the three central defenders, while former centre-back Blind Junior and right-back Varela were pushed into midfield, forming a parallel midfield with Marouane Fellaini and Sneidlin.

Depay and Anthony Martial are up front, with Juan Mata behind the two of them being the organisational tandem of Juan Mata.

This change of formation did not make Manchester United fans happy, but angry.

After all, now that they are two goals down at home, replacing a winger with a midfielder is like sending a very conservative signal:

'It's acceptable for us to lose two goals, we can't keep letting the opposition score. As for the goal, just let it be."

In the eyes of the fans, this is a sign that the manager is too conservative and lacks initiative!

But in reality, after Carrick came on and changed formations, Manchester United's defense in central midfield was much better.

Although compared to Blind, Carrick is slower.

However, after the increase in the number of people in the midfield, the back line is also protected, and it can also avoid Carrick's physical decline to a certain extent.

If the defense is stable, it will be able to send more "shells" to the front field

Whether it's Carrick or Blind, they have the ability to send accurate long passes.

In the face of Leicester City's high pressing, Manchester United played more directly!

As soon as Leicester pressed and pressed, Carrick went straight from the back to find Anthony Martial or Depay in front.

However, such a long-pass rushing tactic cannot threaten Leicester City's defense at all!

Because they have Maguire!

In this game, due to the fact that Hout felt some discomfort in his muscles during training, Maguire was given the opportunity to start and formed a central defensive partnership with Morgan.

And the combination of the two central defenders has a clear division of labor.

Morgan was in charge of the drag, and Maguire was in charge of the grab.

In the face of Manchester United's long pass from the back, Maguire was an air bully, always not letting the ball fall, and clearing the ball as soon as possible.

And in front of Maguire, neither Depay nor Martial could get the ball at all.

Maguire's performance also attracted the attention of many scouts in the stands.

As Leicester's third centre-back this season, Harry Maguire has played a lot of league and cup appearances.

His header and frontal air defense are eye-catching.

And Mourinho, who saw Maguire playing for the first time, also raised his eyebrows and said to Mendes on the side:

"Well, what's the name of this big man?"

"Harry Maguire."

Hearing this, Mourinho silently recited the name three times in his heart, and then spoke:

"He's playing well!"
