Chapter 120: A Situation I Haven't Faced in a Long Time! New Three Little Swans!

"Viewers, what you're watching now is the 1617 season, the fifth round of the FA Cup, which we can also call a sixteen-in-eight game!"

'It's a game in the top half of the table, with Millwall hosting Leicester City.

"The two teams, one is the team in the middle and upper reaches of the Championship, and the other is the team at the top of the Premier League table, and the difference between the strong and the weak is still relatively obvious."

"But we have to know that since Millwall can get here, it is certainly not a good stubble, and it is definitely not something that anyone can easily get down."

"Let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides, both teams used a four-four-two formation today, and Millwall did not choose a back five or five midfielders who were too passive, but chose to face Leicester City with hard steel!"

"Steve Morrison must be a figure in their team, and he has almost a third of the team's goals."

"Although it is not as amazing as Chen Yufeng's efficiency, Morrison is to Millwall and is probably equivalent to Chen Yufeng to Leicester City."

“……”

Xu Yang of this game sat in the broadcast seat and passionately explained to the audience in front of the TV.

Many fans will be substituted when watching the game, they may be substituted for individuals in the team, or they may directly substitute for the whole team.

However, this kind of substitution, generally speaking, is only emotional substitution, and will not be mixed with others.

Most people don't look at the team's tactics, their style of play, their rotation and the form of the players, they just want to capture some of the best moments they expect.

Such as goals, assists, dribbles, tackles, wonderful passes, etc.

But football is a ninety-minute game, and those moments don't happen all the time.

At this time, an experienced explainer is needed to relieve their boredom.

Otherwise, boredom will flood everyone's mind.

"Millwall played very actively, after serving, they chose the strategy of pressing fast attack, even the midfielders pressed very high, and always controlled the landing point of the two penalties for the team."

"In this situation, they can constantly launch threatening attacks, constantly form very threatening offensive attempts."

'Leicester were clearly a bit unresponsive, and it was clear that they expected Millwall to be in the same way as the other underdogs, and to take on them.

"This is the opposite, and it may help Millwall get a very good result!"

"On a fast-changing pitch, if there is a noticeable change in the mentality of one team, then he is not far from some mistakes!"

“……”

Xu Yang saw the tone after the start of the game and made a narration for the audience.

His eyes were fixed on the pitch intently, his eyes full of anticipation.

Everyone wants to see a good game, and they want to see some unique competitive performance charm from the weak team.

"Steve Morrison, I said him at the beginning, this is an all-round center, very good at assists and finishers!"

"In the Championship, he is a strong candidate for Player of the Year every year!"

"With his back to the ball, he took the ball! Turn around! Pretty! Morrison made a very penetrating pass that broke through the Leicester defence! ”

"It was fullback Cummings who took advantage of the chaos to run up from behind, can he finish the fatal blow?!"

"Shoot! 1 to 0!! ”

"Beautiful!! Pretty!! ”

Millwall, playing at home, made it 1-0! Is the dark horse miracle still continuing?! ”

"Facing the powerful Leicester City, facing Leicester City led by the Premier League giant Chen Yufeng, this weak team did not show the posture of a low-ranking player, they are all unwilling fighters in their own destiny!"

"It's going to look good! Leicester City, who are accustomed to crushing and winning from underdogs, can they react and quickly adjust their mentality to catch up? ”

'It's a test for Leicester, it's been a long time since they've been scored by a weak team!'

“……”

As a former international player and a former famous athlete, Xu Yang loves moments like this.

Defeating the strong with the weak will always be the best story in competitive sports, and the reason why Leicester City was praised last season is that they stood in the place of the low, completed the counterattack, and finally created the greatest miracle of modern football.

This season's Leicester City are no longer the miracle workers they used to be, they have become a strong team.

Millwall, now more like the warriors who slay the dragon.

Of course, Leicester City are not the Dragons, they are not a team that has been smashed with gold dollars, they are still the same civilian team.

It's just that now for them, beating a team of Millwall's level can only be regarded as an ordinary thing.

You've walked so many roads and finally stood on the top of a mountain, at this time, it's hard to stabilize the top of the mountain and climb to a higher peak, but it won't roll down to the bottom of the mountain all at once, right?

That's not what people expect.

If you still want to do miracles?

Then go and defend the Premier League, win the FA Cup, or even the Champions League, and lay the foundation for a blue era!

That's the most gorgeous dance!

In addition to accomplishing these great things, Leicester City will not be able to be called a miracle master, and people will love the new dark horses.

"It's Morrison again, he's going to cut inside this time! The Leicester City defence, which has not been tested in several games in a row, seems to be a bit of a mess today, and they have given Millwall chances one after another! ”

"Morrison shoots with a kick! A reasonable far corner!! The ball is very fast, the angle is tricky, can you turn in?! ”

"Oh......! Morrison!! Pretty! The ball is in! Two to zero! ”

"In the thirty-seventh minute of the first half, Millwall were 2-0 up at home!"

"Mentality, Leicester's mentality has obviously changed."

"This is normal, they are also human beings, they will float if they win more, this is an inevitable point in human nature! Now it's up to them to see if they can adjust and find the kind of tenacity they had before, gritting their teeth and winning every game! ”

In the middle of the pitch, Morrison enjoyed the deafening cheers of the home fans as he rushed to the corner flag area on the sidelines to celebrate.

For a moment, Chen Yufeng saw his shadow last year.

Morrison is to Millwall, of course, a hero.

They seem to be on the right path to create their own cup miracle.

Will there be a lot of fans who will expect this miracle?

"If I don't play, I'm looking forward to it." Chen Yufeng muttered in his heart.

The second half of his heart was also obvious, "But I am now completing our splendid dance music, and I must step on a miracle journey with heroes." ”

He believes that Leicester City have this kind of quality, and as long as they adjust, their team, which has already broken through the encirclement with tenacity, will not lose a game against such an opponent.

There is a sentence in the movie "Million Dollar Baby" that a boxer is in the ring to shatter the self-esteem of others and find his own self-esteem.

It can also be said that it is the legendary road to smash others and create your own.

"Beep!"

When the game resumed, Chen Yufeng tried to wake up some of his teammates who were still asleep.

As a captain, he needs to do that at moments like these.

After most of the season's captaincy, Chen Yufeng was tired and happy, and he felt the thrill of a wolf king leading a wolf pack full of desire to fight and fight.

There is no one who doesn't like the feeling of head work, and Chen Yufeng doesn't brag about this kind of bull, which is the root of his strong motivation.

Therefore, when they are still climbing to the highest peak, he, the wolf king, still needs to stand up and cheer everyone on.

He's got to do this kind of work.

'If you want to give up now, you can tell Mr. Ranieri at half-time that we want to give up the FA Cup, which is a burden, and go all out to win the Premier League and the Champions League!"

Chen Yufeng shouted towards the court as he ran: "I think he will agree to replace us with a group of young people, he is always such a person, it is easy to listen to the players, and sometimes he even seems to be unassertive, he is a swinging person." ”

His words were not meant to mock Ranieri's ability or anything, but rather a darkly humorous tactic, which was very common and not offensive in the local area.

"But if you've already stepped on two strong teams to get to the fifth round, you're officially in the FA Cup race."

'I would advise you to pat yourself on the cheek, shake your head, cheer yourself up, and try to do something in the first half to show Mr. Ranieri and the fans that you still have expectations for this tournament!'

'The two-goal advantage isn't like it's over, even if it's four, I think we have a fight.'

"Think it out, boys!"

In terms of age, Chen Yufeng should be able to call most of the players in this team a young man.

This is also part of his image as a big brother, if you want to be a good captain, you have to serve the public and make them believe in you.

Otherwise, you say more than that's a fart.

After listening to Chen Yufeng's words, Leicester City players kept secretly shaking their heads and slapping their faces twice.

Although the action is a little stiff, it looks like writing a fixed answer according to Chen Yufeng's words.

But with this kind of change of heart, in fact, it is enough.

A strong fighting spirit, after a few minutes, was visibly converging on every front of the team.

They are no longer lazy and weak in defense, no longer taking the enemy lightly, but using embarrassing and ferocious actions again and again to sabotage Millwall's attack.

In terms of the midfield line, N'Golo Kante and Drinkwater no longer play so politely, as long as there are two spells, the two of them are definitely the most active ones to run and the most ferocious ones.

Sometimes, it's them who knock each other down, and sometimes, it's the other person who carries them out.

In any case, they will forget everything about it afterwards and rush back into the rest of the game.

The demand of the strikers has also become more positive, and the team has gradually corrected its posture and started to attack with all its might.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

Maybe it's not their first time as a team, maybe they've had a lot of rebirths this season, and there will be a few more in the future.

But remember, no team is a true winner, and even the smallest pebble can make you wrestle, and if you want to keep winning on multiple fronts, hone your mindset and make changes along the way, even if it's something you've experienced before.

As long as you are discouraged in one of these moments, it is not just a loss of a game, but a loss of all your previous efforts.

In the forty-fourth minute of the game, there were still a minute or two left before the end of the first half.

"Bang!" It was again a long ball that launched a counter-attack, and Drinkwater's pass found it pinpointedly for Mahrez, who had a one-two chance on the flank.

A seemingly calm attack, but it contains the killing intent of the entire Leicester City.

They have consistently penetrated the opposition goal in this way this season, whether it is Riyad Mahrez on the left or Chen Yufeng on the right, they can break through the opposition defence and create chances.

"Are you coming? Come on, Mahrez! ”

"Break through him! Cross! ”

"It's okay to knock on the door yourself, we believe in you!"

Leicester fans in the stands stood up, including the confident Jones, who had come from afar, and they all shouted loudly, hoping that their prayers would bring good luck to the team.

Until now, Jones has not felt that the big problem is coming, and he believes that this team has some mental attributes in it, and they can play a comeback game.

Just like before.

Mahrez's breakthrough began, and his breakthrough was a little simpler than Chen's, just a few rhythmic changes and body shaking.

Between stopping, turning, and buttoning, he was full of smart breath, and at this moment he became one with the football, which stuck to his feet and became very difficult to grab.

Millwall's defenders were able to hold their positions at first, but then they couldn't restrain their instincts.

"Bang bang ......!" The way to deal with the two of them at the same time is, of course, a croquette, two touches in a short period of time, dodging two pressing feet and walking the ball into the penalty area.

Mahrez then shrewdly rounded one of the defenders and there was no chance for two to close the goal.

He quickly wiped the back of a man in the way of a man-to-man ball and controlled the football.

The rest of the cross seemed logical.

In this position, if you give Mahrez a point to pass the ball to, it will be very different.

The ball quickly fell from the back post, and everything seemed to be a natural one, and a good opportunity to score was already in sight.

Millwall defender Craig didn't see the Leicester player at the time of the jump, until he felt a huge force coming from behind his body and his whole body fell uncontrollably to the ground.

From this strength and touch, he knew that this must be Chen Yufeng.

Chen Yufeng, who was inserted in the back, carried the strength of the sprint, coupled with his amazing strength, which was absolutely unstoppable.

"Bang!" The ball sounded, and the ball rolled into the net without any suspense.

Craig also fell heavily to the ground, and fell all the way to the ground.

The Millwall team doctor on the sidelines didn't even wait for the referee's signal, shouted 'Shet' and rushed out of the dugout and went straight to the scene of the incident.

"Beep!"

The referee points near the centre circle to indicate that the goal is valid.

As the half-time game was nearing the end, Chen Yufeng did not go back with the ball, but chose to celebrate to the fullest.

He skated to his knees on Millwall's home turf, spreading his hands towards the Leicester Expeditionary Force in an elegant and dashing manner, like a curtain call on a violin player.

Is the Muscle Monster elegant?

Maybe, Chen Yufeng sometimes makes some contrasts silently, which makes people doubt his mental state very much.

Leicester City's players attributed it all to the fact that Chen Yufeng was too training and had turned into a machine.

“Yeah————!!!” The belated shouts sounded, engulfing the entire stadium, and the sound of thousands of people gathering together was certainly not small.

"Mahrez! Chen Yufeng! CM Connection!! Hahaha, a familiar scene is here! "Jones has only seen this scene on TV for the most part, and it's certainly very exciting to see it on the spot.

Football is like that, a familiar moment, but for different people, it means different things.

There are a lot of fans, they are not rigid clones, but people with their own family and business, and everyone can feel a lot of emotions from a goal.

"Although Millwall's half-time 2-0 makes people a little uncomfortable! It's hard for us to pat our chests and say how consistent our team is, but at least with that spirit, I don't think the Champions League is hopeless. Someone waved and shouted.

"What is this hope of yours?" Some fans asked.

"Uh......" This was a somewhat difficult question to answer, and the man hesitated for a long time before finally answering: "I think there is hope for the Final Four!" As long as the draw isn't too bad! We only need two rounds of double round-robin competition to get there! ”

"Sorry for you, I hope our team can get to that point, it's really a Christmas surprise." Someone said with a smile.

Even if the score was still behind, the seeds of hope were rekindled and they were willing to believe that the team would be able to recover the score.

It didn't take long for the referee to blow the whistle for the end of the first half, and the players from both sides returned to the dressing room to rest and prepare for the second half.

…………

On one side of the stands, then-Barcelona manager Enrique sat here, next to a middle-aged man with glasses.

"Mr. Enrique, I need to make sure of one thing, are you sure he is a player who can help Barcelona go further?"

The middle-aged man is wearing a mask, and it is not easy to tell who it is from the outside: "If yes, how many years is this period?" Two years, three years? Are these guaranteed? ”

'He's just, Mr. Bartomeu, and we need a player like that.' Enrique nodded slightly, the player he was talking about was of course Chen Yufeng, the team did not have a tight game schedule in the past two days, he specially brought Bartomeu to England to watch the game.

Anyway, it is in Europe, the distance to come and go is not far, and the transportation is still very convenient.

"There is no guarantee of a deadline, but there is one thing, Mr. Bartomeu, Florentino made a move, and failed."

Enrique spoke very explicitly, and he meant, of course, that this was the player that Florentino loved and couldn't love.

What does this mean, everyone knows that the players that Florentino pays attention to are generally very rare, and Real Madrid's data analysis and scouting and other parts are not a bunch of idiots.

Their successful transfers have been many.

If you get Chen Yufeng now, it will not only be a big reinforcement for the team, but also disgusting league rivals by the way, why not do it?

"I know about this, Florentino slapped himself in the face and threw an olive branch to Chen Yufeng, but he was rejected."

Bartomeu nodded slightly, and continued: "But if we make a move, it will be equivalent to slapping ourselves in the face, after all, when the previous wave of Chen Yufeng's transfer, we also stood up and expressed our opinions, saying that the team does not need an older player like Chen Yufeng." ”

"Now that I regret chasing it, isn't this just a reversal of the trend?"

"You know, my reputation in Spain is not good, and I still have to do less of this kind of thing."

The focus of his brain circuitry and thinking undoubtedly surprised Enrique, who was sitting in the seat, and the old coach, who had achieved decent results in recent years, leaned back slightly, and slowed down for a long time before speaking.

"I feel like we should think about grades, not the voice of the media."

"With the results, the voice of the media is quiet."

Enrique pursed his lips and said this, which was considered a last resort.

"Let's talk about it when we get back." Bartomeu nodded perfunctorily and pushed things back, apparently thinking differently from Enrique.

And not far behind the two, a pair of eyes glanced at the court, and at the same time, they were constantly glancing towards the two chatting.

A burly figure in a black trench coat and a black mask sits here, he is also fully armed, as if he is afraid of being recognized by the director to give himself a camera.

This is the head coach of Atletico Madrid, Simeone.

Simeone and Atletico Madrid have become two inseparable names at this time, and anyone who thinks of Atletico Madrid's tough style and red and white stripes will think of Simeone's tough guy appearance.

On the other hand, Simeone also represents the club.

Simeone has been with Atletico for many years since he took charge in 2011 and still shows no signs of ending.

It's definitely a good match of the century between the coach and the team, and probably not one of them.

The only downside is that they work together and what they have achieved is not top-notch.

There is no Champions League, only one La Liga.

The league has been suppressed by Real Madrid and Barcelona all year round, which is a bit of a 10,000-year-old third.

But that didn't stop Simeone from becoming a world-class coach in football, and his label is well known to most people around the world.

Coming to England to watch the game, Simeone was certainly not targeting the players in the home team Millwall squad or the central midfielders in Leicester City.

He has only two targets, Riyad Mahrez and Chen Yufeng.

Among them, Chen Yufeng's proportion is undoubtedly heavier.

"It should be a discordant ......"

Simeone's eyes were still on Bartomeu and Enrique, and he judged the progress of their conversation from their body movements.

This made a few glees of joy appear in his eyes, and if Barcelona withdrew from the competition, they would be close to Atletico Madrid.

"Chen Yufeng, Chen Yufeng, Atletico Madrid, who owns you, can have everything." Simone muttered secretly, looking at Chen Yufeng's eyes who were on the stage, with a fiery desire.

He has always been a straightforward person, he will not suppress his emotions, and he will not think about many things that he has and does not have.

As long as Atletico Madrid needs, that's what he needs.

Chen Yufeng has all the level of top strikers, whether it is a fulcrum striker, a speed striker in a counterattack, or a finishing striker, he can catch it.

Some people say why not use the all-round striker to sum him up?

"Because the all-round striker represents a point that is not prominent, it seems that Chen Yufeng is a little condescending."

Simeone thinks so, he has always adhered to the attitude of blowing up the players that Atletico Madrid needs, "Moreover, Chen Yufeng is not without weaknesses, he often contributes some substandard performances in some basic passes and shots. ”

But that's also the key to why he doesn't have a conversion rate...... If it weren't for those low-level mistakes, he would have scored hundreds of goals a year, right? ”

After a few words to himself, the second half of the stadium had already begun, and Simeone didn't say anything more, focusing all his eyes on the court.

…………

After the second half came up, Leicester played a little more ferociously.

Chen's position gradually moved closer to the middle, and Shinji Okazaki would often sway to the side to switch positions with him.

This is a routine that Ranieri has been using lately, and after discovering Chen Yufeng's central striker attributes, he began to make Chen Yufeng play more flexibly.

Normally, you can still stand on the wing to complete a breakthrough cut or a bottom cross.

But as long as the situation is good, he can go directly to the middle to complete the attack, and at this time, Okazaki Shinji will also run more, make up for Chen Yufeng's position, and defend the opponent to counterattack while being a side response point.

"Well done!"

Therefore, whenever Shinji Okazaki completes a good pass and defends slowly, Chen Yufeng will always give him sincere praise.

It's really not easy for this guy to play football, he often wipes his ass with Mahrez and others, which can't be said to be sappers, it's just worker bees.

If the team didn't have such a person, he didn't know how much trouble it would be to play.

And this tactical move also paid off quickly, and when the time came to the 64th minute of the game, Leicester City bombarded for a while.

Shin Okazaki and Chen Yufeng once again switched positions deftly, changing the two guards who were stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Drinkwater's pass arrived, and the ball was first at the feet of Shinji Okazaki.

Millwall's defenders were already a little disorganized, and quickly chased after Okazaki Shinji, but forgot about Chen Yufeng, who was lying in ambush behind him.

"Bang!" Shinji Okazaki sent a through ball, and Chen Yufeng received the ball in the ribs near the baseline.

He took aim at the midfield and delivered a low ball that was close to the ground, knowing that Jamie Vardy would come out from behind the defender to snatch the spot, and he trusted his team-mate.

Mahrez is basically aiming at passing, and he is aiming at passing!

In the absence of pressure, Chen Yufeng really couldn't figure out what reason he had for making a mistake.

"Bang!" A figure wearing Leicester's away white jersey soon emerged in the middle, stabbing the ball into the net with a poke of his toe.

If you look closely, it's Blue Fox marksman Vardy!

Two to two!

“Yeah————!” The equaliser arrived, and the scene fell into a frenzy.

Only Chen Yufeng stood on the edge of the court, imitating the cradle celebration of the famous star Bebeto.

Of course, it's not that he is a father anymore, it's just that he feels that at this moment, he can express his emotions in this way of celebrating that makes people smile.

"Easy to eat! Oh roar......! Vardy shouted and rushed up, and after hugging Chen Yufeng, he also followed Chen Yufeng's movements.

Why did he do these actions, Vardy didn't know, just catharsis.

Mahrez also joined the queue, and they galloped happily here like the new three little swans.
