Chapter 318: Free Kick Determines the Situation! The first person in the five major leagues!

Previous Chapter

After the draw for the quarter-finals of the Europa League was announced, there was no one happier than Sevilla fans.

Because, the two opponents with the highest odds to win the championship have been drawn together!

As the so-called two tigers fight, there must be an injury!

Whether Leicester City or Borussia Dortmund advance, after this fierce battle, they will be greatly damaged.

This is extremely beneficial for them to strive for the hegemony of completing the Europa League three times in a row.

And this season's impressive results in the league and Europa League have boosted the confidence of Blue Fox fans:

"We're at the top of the Premier League! What about second in the Bundesliga? Lie down just as dry! ”

"What about the Champions League teams? We can play in the Champions League next year! Rounding off, we're Champions League teams too! ”

However, there is still some time before the big battle with Dortmund.

What Leicester City has to do is to continue to consolidate its top position in the league and lock up the title as soon as possible!

In the 31st round of the league, Leicester City came to London to challenge Crystal Palace, which is ranked 15th in the league.

Crystal Palace are just three points above the relegation zone, and the relegation situation is not optimistic.

Therefore, the "Eagles" still hope to capture this crazy "Blue Fox" at home

However, the difference in strength between the two sides has frustrated Crystal Palace's calculations.

Ling Feng, who clocked in at half-time in the last Europa League game against Manchester United, and Mahrez, who was rested, took over the game!

With just eight minutes played, Riyad Mahrez picked up the ball on the right flank and after a series of silky dribbles delivered a well-placed little through ball.

Ling Feng, who was inserted in the back, understood the ball, and went directly into the penalty area between the two tall central defenders of Crystal Palace, completing a low shot from close range.

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Speroni couldn't react and could only look at the ball and sigh.

It took less than ten minutes to take the lead on the road, giving Leicester City an even better game.

This season, among all the games that took the lead first, the probability of Leicester City finally winning is a terrifying 100%!

In other words, as long as Leicester takes the lead, they will win!

This has a lot to do with Leicester's tactical play.

The Foxes have been playing counter-attacking defensively this season, with possession per game and passes per game ranking only in the bottom half of the league.

However, it is the first in the league in terms of goals scored.

Without him, just because the quality of Blue Fox's counterattack is too spicy!

And the speed of the counterattack is extremely fast, often in more than ten seconds, it advances from the back to the offensive third area of the front court and completes the shot.

One dozen and one accurate!

And this one is no exception!

After conceding the goal, Crystal Palace attacked more ferociously.

Crystal Palace's attacking routine relies heavily on the wings, especially on the left side of Zaha.

The former Manchester United winger quickly became the sharpest winger in the Eagles' squad after his move to Crystal Palace.

His single-point breakthrough ability is definitely ranked best in the Premier League.

It's just that his decision-making ability after the breakthrough is too average and a little too unique.

A lot of times, after breaking through the full-backs and creating space for the ball, it's the choice to shoot rather than the ball to an open team-mate.

Over time, opponents know his offensive routines, so they don't have to defend his passes at all.

This is also the factor that restricts him from becoming a world-class winger, and it is also the reason why Manchester United would abandon him!

With Zaha dribbling down the left and being tipped away by N'Golo Kante and Simpson together, the Foxes once again unleashed a quick counter-attack.

N'Golo Kante handed the ball to Ling Feng, who drove the ball directly down the middle, striding across the half like a burst of blue lightning.

Then, to the exclamations of the home fans, a scalpel-like straight plug was delivered.

The ball passed through the gap between the two centre-backs, and Vardy, who slipped in diagonally from behind, grabbed the ball in the box like a ghost, and then didn't hesitate to blast the shot!

Bang, and in the next second, the ball made intimate contact with the white "swish".

And Crystal Palace goalkeeper Speroni, who was standing on the goal line, just subconsciously raised his hands to indicate surrender

With Ling Feng's pass and Jamie Vardy's 24th league goal, Leicester City secured a win at Crystal Palace on the road.

For another league victory, the Blue Foxes are used to it.

Because, after thirty rounds, they have only lost one!

When winning becomes the norm, the team already has a strong mentality.

They have a strong sense of confidence in themselves and believe that no matter who their opponent is, they are sure to defeat them.

Especially when Ling Feng, Vardy, and Mahrez are all on the field, they feel that no one can stop the strongest trio in the Premier League!

。。。

As the weather warms up in the UK, April has arrived.

The stars of the five major leagues also ushered in the international break.

The five major leagues and European competitions are already coming to an end of the season.

The ownership of the champion has gradually surfaced:

Ligue 1 is the league with the least suspense.

Paris Saint-Germain, under the leadership of superstars such as "Fengxian" Ibrahimovic and Cavani, has a lead of as many as 22 points, and has won the Ligue 1 championship seven rounds ahead of schedule.

This is followed by the Premier League and the Bundesliga.

Leicester City have one game in hand, still 15 points ahead of second-place Tottenham Hotspur and firmly at the top of the table.

With seven rounds of the league remaining, it was only a matter of time before they won the title.

This super promoted team, who only promoted from the Championship last season, is likely to create an unprecedented miracle this season, winning the first Premier League title in more than 100 years in the team's history!

After 28 rounds of the Bundesliga, Bayern are already as many as 15 points ahead of second-placed Dort.

With six rounds left in the league, Bayern only needs to win the next league game to win the championship in advance!

Finally, there is La Liga.

This season, the MSN combination has gone through a season of running-in, and even more,

Combined, the trio have scored more than 100 goals in all competitions!

With such data, people couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed:

Terrifying!

With eight rounds of the league remaining, Barcelona have a huge advantage over second-placed Atletico Madrid by nine points and third-placed Real Madrid.

In addition to the league championships of France, Britain and Germany, the most fierce competition for the championship is actually Serie A.

In Serie A, Juventus may have been eliminated by Bayern Munich in the Champions League round of 16, and the league record has fluctuated.

As of the thirtieth round, the "old woman", who has always been as steady as an old dog, has lost four games this season, one more than Napoli, which is ranked second!

And the difference between the points between the two teams is only three points!

It may not be known until the end of the season who will win the final championship.

However, Juventus, who do not have the task of the Champions League, are still very dominant when they concentrate on the league.

Most people are optimistic that Juve will be able to maintain their advantage and have the last laugh.

In terms of the most watched Champions League, the quarterfinals have been released.

La Liga three, Bundesliga Bayern plus Wolfsburg, Ligue 1 Paris, Premier League Manchester City, plus a Portuguese Super League Benfica.

As for Serie A, the Champions League and the Europa League were all wiped out!

Among them, the defending champion Barcelona is the most favored and has the first odds to win the championship.

In second place is Bayern, which has secured the league title, and in third is Real Madrid.

Of course, the Champions League has nothing to do with him.

However, when Ling Feng came to St. George's Park, he received a good news:

That is Luke Shaw has already done recovery training and I believe that he will be able to return to the field of action soon!

It is worth mentioning that considering the importance of Ling Feng to the team's sprint for the championship this season, Ranieri even called Hodgson, hoping that he would not arrange for Ling Feng to play the whole game.

And Hodgson, who has always regarded Ling Feng as the thigh of the team, also readily agreed to this request.

Anyway, the friendly match is just a run-in of the team, and it doesn't mean much.

He didn't want Ling Feng to get injured in a friendly match and miss the upcoming European Championship.

That would be a devastating blow to the Three Lions!

So, after asking Ling Feng's opinion, Hodgson only arranged for Ling Feng to play half of the two friendly matches during the international break.

And after a short rest day, Ling Feng, who returned to the club, welcomed the seventh-ranked "Saints" Southampton at the King Power Stadium!

In the past two seasons, even if he has been repeatedly poached by Liverpool.

However, Southampton still relied on a solid business philosophy and the excellent vision of the scouting department to recruit lesser-known and powerful stars such as Mane, Tadic, Wanyama and Pelle.

And under the leadership of Dutch legend Koeman, the offensive style of play is quite orderly, and it has gradually become a strong contender in the European zone.

This season, under the leadership of Koeman, he continued to attack the European places.

The team has Van Dijk, Fonte, Wanyama, Mane, Tadic, Pelle and other powerful stars, and they are very good at both ends of the pitch.

However, at Leicester City's home stadium, they are unbeaten in 19 consecutive games in all competitions!

Any team that comes to the stadium, which is dyed in a sea of blue, will be intimidated by the momentum of the Blue Foxes.

Sitting on the advantage of being at home, Ranieri also considered the Europa League in a few days' time, Ranieri chose a certain range of rotations.

Among the Blue Foxes' trio, Vardy and Shinji Okazaki are partnered up front.

Ling Feng and Riyad Mahrez sat on the bench and watched the game.

Just when everyone thought that this was a wonderful offensive and defensive battle, the referee came out again to steal the show!

Due to the strong tactical execution and the needs of the team, Shinji Okazaki, who rarely made a start, was particularly excited.

However, his pressing in the front court was a little too reckless.

In the first half, he received a yellow card for a pressing of the back.

And when the game came to the 55th minute of the second half, he pressed the central defender in the front court again, causing a foul.

It was an inconsequential foul, but the referee on duty, Clattenburg, did not hesitate to show Shinji Okazaki a second yellow card and sent him off!

This kind of operation is also unexpected by everyone.

Fortunately, the players who were sent off were strikers, so the whole defensive formation was not affected too much.

Even so, with one less player, Leicester City is even more passive.

And Jamie Vardy was also forced to return to midfield to help the defence.

Seeing that Southampton's offensive continued unabated, and Leicester City had been rubbing at half-time, Ranieri on the sidelines gradually frowned.

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

The most taboo thing about defensive counterattack is to only defend and not counterattack.

If the team can't give some counter-attacking threat, Southampton's attack will sooner or later break through Leicester's defence.

Just when Ranieri was considering whether to replace Ling Feng with a nuclear weapon, there was a sudden change on the field!

"Ahh

In a midfield scramble, King collided with the opposing midfielder's Wanyama and then sprained his ankle.

It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight!

Seeing the team doctor make a gesture for his side, Ranieri frowned, and immediately turned around and looked at Ling Feng on the bench:

"Ling! Warm up and get ready to play! ”

Hearing this, Ling Feng immediately got up and took off his coat and ran to the sidelines to warm up.

And this scene also made the home team fans at the scene can't help but sing the second personal song composed for Ling Feng - "Super Seven"

"Wow oh oh. Our Super Seven."

"His passing is like art, his shot is like a cannonball"

"He's our Super Seven."

Our Super Seven is ready to make its debut!

Tremble, saints!

However, taking advantage of the fact that the Blue Fox was one less player on the field, and before Ling Feng could play, Southampton seized the opportunity and played a wave of extremely threatening attacks!

After a wave of passing and cutting, after the No. 10 Mane cut, he completed a high-quality shot that penetrated the gate guarded by Schmeichel Jr.!

"The ball is in!"

"Southampton took the lead!"

Seeing that the team still failed to hold on, Blue Foxes fans

It wasn't until the Leicester City players put the ball on the kick-off in the center circle that Ling Feng was able to replace Albrighton and play in the enthusiastic applause of the fans!

Ling Feng, who played left midfield, used his running and passing to help the team stabilize the situation after coming on the field.

And on the side, he has the personal ability to take the ball to complete a single-point explosion, which directly kills a bloody road, and also gives his teammates who have been pressed and kicked a chance to breathe.

In the 75th minute, the score was still 0-1.

At this moment, the Blue Foxes completed a steal in the midfield again, and Kante handed the ball to Ling Feng, who was cruising in the middle to receive the ball, for the first time.

This time, Southampton did not give Ling Feng a chance to make soup quickly, and the defender Romeu directly hugged Ling Feng at the cost of a yellow card and stifled this wave of counterattacks.

However, it also gave Leicester a free-kick opportunity 33 metres from the goal to the left!

And Ling Feng seized this opportunity!

Looking at the position of goalkeeper Foster, his eyes were like torches, and after taking three steps back, he suddenly accelerated forward, and directly pulled his leg and kicked the ball hard.

With a "bang" sound, the ball instantly turned into a black afterimage and shot out!

The ball didn't spin at all, it just swung with the wind, first over the wall.

Then a weird S arc was drawn over the King Power Stadium, first left and then right, and finally plunged into the upper right corner of the goal!

And goalkeeper Foster, except for the first step, was stunned the whole time!

"Wow!"

"The ball is in!"

"What a burst of powerful bursts! What a weird arc! ”

"Here, I warn all opponents not to foul him from 30 meters away! Otherwise, you'll be bombarded with devastating Leicester precision missiles! ”

"Ling Feng scored his seventeenth goal in the league this season! It was also his sixth direct free-kick goal this season! ”

"This goal has made him the player with the most direct free kicks in the Premier League and even the top five leagues this season, ahead of top players such as Payet, Messi and Pogba!"

"It is worth mentioning that the idol of the Blue Fox No. 7 is none other than Beckham!"

"However, compared to Beckham's deadly arc, Ling Feng's free kick is full of power, giving people a sense of powerlessness that is difficult to resist!"

"Either way, both of them are great free-kick masters!"
