The new year is coming, and the new year is coming.

Chapter 10 If you work hard, you will get something in return

For the sake of gimmicks and traffic, the media have praised Ling Feng with words such as “genius” and “star of hope”.

The British media has always liked to praise young players in their own country.

Even though Ling Feng is a Chinese-British hybrid.

But in the eyes of the media, he is a genius of his country with an English household registration!

Among them, the Guardian published a photo of Ling Feng clenching his fist and looking at the stands with a firm look in his eyes on his social media account.

The title is thought-provoking – “A flash in the pan? Or the future of the Blue Fox? 》

In the report, the Guardian, with professional scouts and football commentators as the team, interpreted and analyzed in detail the ten minutes that Ling Feng played in the FA Cup, and initially defined Ling Feng’s player template as “Fabregas”.

Like Fabregas, Ling Feng has average physical fitness and is not fast.

He has a broad vision and his passes are very imaginative and penetrating.

However, Fabregas, who came from La Masia, has much better footwork and scoring ability than Ling Feng, and is more comprehensive.

It can be said that Ling Feng is now at most a bankrupt version of Fabregas.

Under the media’s praise, many Premier League club scouts who watched the FA Cup match on the spot sent the news that “Leicester has a young genius” back to the scout departments of their respective clubs.

The responses received were all for further observation.

After all, Ling Feng’s playing time in the professional arena was only a pitiful ten minutes.

Just looking at the performance of more than ten minutes alone cannot convince the Premier League club to spend money to buy him.

Even if his performance is impeccable.

It is worth mentioning that the day after Ling Feng was officially promoted to the first team, the official website of Leicester City Club updated the first team lineup.

Ling Feng, wearing No. 23, appeared on the list with a handsome half-length photo!

Many Leicester City fans who watched the FA Cup game flocked to the club’s official website and left various comments:

“Great! The club understands football!”

“This black-haired boy is definitely a genius!”

“The pass is so spiritual, I see the shadow of a midfield master in him!”

“He looks so handsome!”

Among the many comments, the one with the most likes was posted by a netizen named “Big William”.

This netizen directly posted a photo.

The content of the photo is a Leicester City blue home jersey.

And on the chest of the jersey is Ling Feng’s autograph!

“I met this kid on the road, he was riding a bicycle. When I asked him to sign, he readily agreed. This kid is very polite and humble. I declare that from today on, I am his fan!”

“Now that I think about it, I actually forgot to take a photo with him. This is such a pity!”

However, in addition to most of the comments expressing expectations for Ling Feng, there are also a few comments that question Ling Feng:

“He doesn’t look strong enough, he will be knocked away by just a slight touch. Whether he can gain a foothold in the Championship is still unknown.”

“That kind of pass is really good, but I hope he is not a flash in the pan”

In any case, with the media’s hype and the fans’ attention, Ling Feng, this small stone, has splashed a ripple on the surface of the lake called “English football”.

. . .

January 10.

Leicester City Club, Belvoir Base.

The tactical room is already full of first-team players.

And tomorrow, Leicester City will usher in the 25th round of the game.

The opponent is Derby County, nicknamed “The Ram”.

After 24 rounds of the league, Leicester City has a record of 16 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, ranking first in the standings with 51 points.

The opponent Derby County has a record of 13 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses, with 44 points, ranking fourth.

Burnley ranks second with 13 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses, with 47 points.

Queens Park Rangers ranks third with 46 points.

These four teams are strong contenders for two direct promotion seats to the Premier League!

The points difference between the four teams is only five points, less than two games.

So, this round of confrontation with Derby County is a direct dialogue for the Premier League seat.

Classic six-point battle!

Leicester City must defeat Derby County to continue to maintain its leading advantage.

In general, the head coach will announce the starting lineup and the 18-man roster in advance the day before the league or cup game.

This time is no exception.

“Okay, next, I will announce tomorrow’s starting lineup.”

Along with the opening remarks, Ling Feng saw head coach Pearson begin to announce the starting eleven for tomorrow’s home game against Derby County:

“Casper”

“Morgan.”

“Danny (Drinkwater)”

“Jamie (Vardy)”

When the last name fell, many people in the tactical room showed surprised or surprised expressions.

They had the same idea in their hearts:

Why did Ling Feng, who performed well in training and was touted by the media as a “star of hope”, not enter the starting lineup?

After talking about the starting lineup, head coach Pearson looked at Ling Feng, who was sitting in the last row, to observe his reaction.

However, to his surprise, Ling Feng’s expression was indifferent, without any anger or frustration.

Seeing this, Pearson nodded secretly in his heart:

“This kid is very calm, not bad.”

However, he didn’t know that Ling Feng had already expected that he would not start.

After all, he had just been promoted to the first team for a few days, and the tacit understanding and running-in with the team tactics and teammates were far from enough.

Moreover, the league was halfway through, and the framework of Leicester City’s starting lineup had already been determined.

Even if he performed very well in training, it was normal for the head coach not to rashly let him enter the starting lineup.

He guessed that with his level and training performance, he would definitely be on the substitute list.

Sure enough, when the substitute list was announced next, his name was on the list!

After announcing the 18-man roster, head coach Pearson came to a tactical whiteboard.

Although there were already computers and projection screens.

However, as an old-school British coach, Pearson still liked to explain his tactical details to the players on the tactical whiteboard.

“David, after you get the ball with your back to the goalkeeper in the frontcourt, you must immediately observe Jamie’s running position.”

“Marty, you must provide strength in the midfield”

After a tactical analysis and targeted arrangements, the tactical meeting came to an end:

“Okay, that’s it. Go back and have a good rest, and see you on the court tomorrow!”

After the meeting, Ling Feng said goodbye to Mahrez, Vardy and other relatively familiar teammates, and returned to the dormitory room in the base.

Sitting on the bed, turning his head to look at the football field shrouded by the sunset outside the window, Ling Feng had only one thought in his mind:

Tomorrow, he may have his first appearance in the English Championship!

When he thought of this, ripples appeared in his heart.

The past week can be described as a dreamlike week.

He experienced many wonderful moments that many professional players cannot experience:

Coming off the bench in the FA Cup and leading the team to a reversal victory!

Appearing on the sports pages of major media, being touted as a “star of hope” and “genius”

Being recognized by fans, being recognized by fans, and being asked to sign his jersey!

These plots that only appear in novels actually happened to him.

This made Ling Feng even more intoxicated.

However, he was not overwhelmed by the excessive praise of the media.

Having lived two lives, Ling Feng is not a rookie kid, and he will not feel complacent because of the flattery and praise of others.

Because he knows very well that the media is a group of fence-sitters.

When he performs well on the court, the media will praise him without hesitation and praise him crazily.

Once he performs poorly on the court, the first to mock and add insult to injury must be these media who are crazy about praising him!

If you want the media to always praise you and not give them any chance to add insult to injury, then you must always maintain a high level of performance on the court!

To do this, he must stay focused, constantly improve himself, and make himself stronger!

Thinking of this, Ling Feng raised his eyebrows and opened his player interface.

Through the training and team competitions in the past few days, Ling Feng discovered a very important thing:

That is, his attribute values ​​can be improved through training!

The professional training of the first team has changed some of his attributes:

For example, the [off-ball running] attribute of the [spirit] category has changed from 66 to 67;

For example, the [steal] attribute of the [defense] category has changed from 38 to 40, and the [marking] attribute has changed from 35 to 37.

From the changes in attribute values, Ling Feng roughly understands the reasons:

In short, whenever he completes the corresponding player skills on the training ground or watches the game video, the corresponding attribute will get training experience.

Experience, when the experience accumulates to a certain level, the attribute value will increase.

For example, if he intercepted the opponent’s pass many times in the team competition, the [Steal] attribute will gain experience.

After the experience accumulates to a certain level, the attribute will be improved!

Just like playing a game!

It is worth mentioning that over the past few days, the player skill he did the most on the field was passing.

But his passing attribute did not get any improvement.

Ling Feng guessed that the effectiveness of training may be related to the level of attribute values.

The lower the attribute, the less experience is required, and the easier it is to improve;

The higher the attribute, the more experience is required, and the more difficult it is to improve!

To master a skill, getting started is the easiest.

However, when the level of the skill reaches a certain height, it will definitely be more difficult to improve than when you get started.

This is obviously very reasonable!

As long as you continue to work hard and then use the help of the system, the relevant attributes will continue to improve, making him stronger and more comprehensive.

Ling Feng suddenly felt a little excited. What would it feel like when all six of his attributes reached S-level one day?
