The old man was very happy, but he was still very happy.

Chapter 102: It’s fun to cheat for a while, and it’s always cheating… [4,000 words long chapter]

At the moment of passing the ball, Ling Feng felt as if the whole world had stopped.

After passing the ball, he just stared at the direction of the goal, hoping that his teammates would appear in front of the goal and score:

Jamie, it’s up to you!

When he saw Vardy appear where he should be and mercilessly shoot the ball into the goal, the big stone in his heart suddenly fell.

Then, an irrepressible ecstasy gushed out from the depths of his heart, making him clench his fists and roar with excitement in his native language:

“Fuck!”

“Second brother, you are so damn handsome!”

Not only him, but tens of thousands of Blue Fox fans at Wembley Stadium instantly burst into cheers that were enough to burst the decibel meter!

And amid the thunderous cheers, Vardy, whose face was slightly flushed due to excitement, rushed straight to the corner flag area.

He held the corner flag pole with his hand, imitating the former Gunners King Henry the Great, and posed in an arrogant posture.

Other Leicester City players also rushed to Vardy in the corner flag area like crazy, and surrounded him like a hero.

Pearson, who was standing on the sidelines, jumped to the coaching booth and hugged assistant coach Walsh passionately:

“Steve, we tied! We tied!! ”

“Yes, Nigel, we did it.”

In sharp contrast to the crazy celebration of Leicester City, both Arsenal players and Gunners fans in the stadium were stunned.

Their eyes were confused and they looked at each other.

A big question mark popped up in their little heads.

Why did Ling Feng suddenly advance with the ball?

Why did the arc cross seem to turn, pass through the gap between the goalkeeper and the defender, and successfully reach the back of the goal?

Why didn’t the goalkeeper attack?

Why didn’t Sagna stop Vardy’s shot?

Why.

And at this critical moment when the team encountered setbacks, Wenger showed an important quality of a world-class coach-calmness!

He came to the sidelines and shouted to the captain Koscielny to come to the sidelines.

“Hey! Laurent, tell the boys that it’s okay, it’s just a tie, don’t worry about it.”

“Keep it steady, control the ball, and we’ll take them down in overtime!”

After hearing Wenger’s words, Koscielny, who thought he would be blamed, was stunned at first, and then immediately nodded and said:

“I know, Boss! I’ll tell the guys right away”

Looking at the Foxes celebrating in the corner flag area, Wenger’s eyes flashed with wisdom.

It’s not nice to have the cooked duck fly away.

However, this is just a tie, not a lore.

In his opinion, after the stoppage time tie, Leicester City will not take advantage of the morale boost and continue to press in the frontcourt.

Instead, they will retreat to their own half and park the bus, defend the last few minutes, and drag the game into overtime.

Because only in this way can they win the game after Arsenal reacts and gets a breather!

However, once entering the overtime, it is very beneficial for Arsenal.

Because Leicester City players have been on the defensive in this game, and their physical energy consumption is obviously greater than that of Arsenal players.

Wenger has noticed when he was standing on the sidelines that the steps of the two midfielders of Leicester City were obviously a bit heavy, and the speed of assisting defense was not as fast as at the beginning.

And the players in the front court were not as vigorous as at the beginning.

Mahrez’s pass, to put it nicely, was because he saw his teammates advancing, so he passed the ball; to put it bluntly, it was actually because he was physically exhausted and unable to pass again!

And in the overtime, as long as they continue to control the ball firmly under their feet and continue to consume the opponent’s physical energy, Leicester City’s defense will definitely have loopholes.

In the end, only Arsenal will win the game!

. . .

“The equalizer in stoppage time!”

“It’s incredible!”

“This game is incredible!”

“After falling behind by two goals in the first 15 minutes, Leicester City didn’t give up, but scored the equalizer in the final stoppage time!”

“I’m sure this game will become the FA Cup final!”

One of the most exciting matches in history!”

“Let’s watch the whole process of this goal through replay.”

While the commentator and the audience in front of the TV were watching the replay of the goal with great interest, the head coach of the England team, Hodgson, in the stands, couldn’t help applauding this wonderful goal.

When seeing Ling Feng pass the fatal pass between the goalkeeper and the defender, Hodgson had only one thought in his mind:

This young man must be brought to the World Cup!

And the assistant sitting next to him also expressed his thoughts:

“Now I finally understand why Gareth (Southgate) admires this 18-year-old kid so much.”

“I swear, I have never seen any 18-year-old young player who can pass such an imaginative and penetrating pass!”

“Ling Feng is definitely a treasure given to England by God! ”

Ling Feng, who was celebrating wildly with his teammates in the corner flag area, certainly didn’t know that he had conquered the England national team coach and assistant coach who came to observe him with his amazing performance on the field.

Even if he knew, he would only smile slightly.

Just kidding!

You think De Bruyne’s passing ability at its peak is a joke?!

As long as you run to the right place, I can pass to the right place!

Vardy’s goal once again brought the scores of both sides back to the same starting line.

And after the kick-off again, Leicester City really retreated to their own half as Wenger expected.

Obviously, they were already very satisfied with tying the score.

How to hold on for these few minutes and then continue to fight with Arsenal in overtime is the question they are thinking about.

And The Arsenal player who was stunned by the goal just now, under Wenger’s special instructions, did not continue to attack, but just passed the ball in the midfield and backcourt, firmly controlling the ball.

One side does not attack, and the other side does not grab.

Under the inexplicable tacit understanding of both sides, the referee blew the whistle to end the regular time game.

With the two teams tied 2-2 in 90 minutes, this final will enter the popular overtime!

The players of both sides hurriedly left the court and returned to the locker room.

Back in the locker room, the team’s physiotherapists took the time to massage and relax the players with tight muscles.

Taking off the wet jersey, Ling Feng twisted it casually, and saw sweat falling.

It is conceivable how much sweat he has sweated.

In addition to him, the jerseys of the other five players in the midfield and frontcourt are all Soaked.

Especially the two midfielders, they were visibly tired and gasping for breath.

Leicester City’s crazy front-court pressing in the last ten minutes of the game consumed a lot of physical energy of the players.

This is also the key reason why Leicester City did not continue to pursue the victory in the last few minutes of stoppage time!

If they continue to press, once their physical strength has problems, Arsenal only needs a perfect straight pass to break through their defense!

Although they tied the score in the stoppage time and dragged the game into overtime.

But in Pearson’s view, their chances of winning the game are not much higher than before the game.

Because, in overtime, both sides are fighting for fighting spirit, lineup depth and physical fitness!

This highlights the difference between Premier League giants and Championship teams.

Compared Compared with Arsenal, which has fewer games and a deeper lineup, Leicester City players are a little worse in terms of physical reserves.

Although under the premise of winning the league championship in advance, several core players such as Ling Feng, Vardy, and Mahrez were given a rest in the last few rounds of the league.

However, in the last 90 minutes, Arsenal’s passing and controlling tactics consumed the physical energy of Leicester City players to a great extent.

The most critical thing is the two midfielders.

Originally, the midfield position has to attack and defend, and the physical energy is consumed the fastest.

The two starting midfielders, “drinking water brother” Drinkwater and James, have played at least 38 games in all competitions this season.

And they basically played the whole game and were rarely replaced.

Because these two midfield positions are too important.

Once the physical energy declines and cannot return to defense, there is no barrier in the area in front of the defender.

The opponent can drive straight in and face the defender directly.

But considering the state of the game and after asking the two players about their situations, Pearson finally decided to play the first half of the overtime with this lineup.

Let’s see the situation in the first half first, and if it doesn’t work, then make a substitution.

“Good job, guys!”

“We didn’t lose in 90 minutes!”

“This is undoubtedly a big slap in the face for those who didn’t think highly of us before the game!”

“For the next overtime, we will still play according to the second half.

“Just as Pearson was making the final tactical arrangements, Ling Feng, who was sitting in front of the locker, remembered the secret weapon that had been quietly lying in his [Props Bar] – [Stamina Drink]

[Props Name: Physical Drink]

[Props Effect: After drinking, physical strength will be restored to the best state immediately!]

Looking at the orange-yellow drink in the prop bar that looked like a certain cow, Ling Feng fell into thought.

Drink or not?

This is a question.

Drink, and your bottomed-out physical strength can be fully restored.

Thereby gaining a physical advantage in the next overtime, and increasing the chances of winning the FA Cup;

Don’t drink, yourself His physical strength is insufficient, his running ability on the field is reduced, his enthusiasm for returning to defense is reduced, and his movements may also be deformed.

It is very likely that Arsenal will score another goal in overtime and lose the game and the championship.

After careful consideration, Ling Feng decided to use [Stamina Drink]

In his opinion, he already has a system cheat.

He is a cheater.

If he didn’t cheat, he wouldn’t even be promoted to the Leicester City first team, and it would be impossible for him to lead Leicester City to break the record of consecutive wins in the English Championship and reach the FA Cup final!

So, why bother about those ridiculous ideas of winning unfairly?

In the world of sports competition, victory and championship are the most important!

[Do you use a physical drink? ]

“Yes! ”

Accompanied by this, the orange-yellow drink in the prop column suddenly disappeared, turning into an orange-yellow stream of light that flew into Ling Feng’s chest.

The next second, Ling Feng felt that the fatigue in his whole body disappeared instantly, and even his spirit was lifted.

As the saying goes, it’s fun to cheat for a while, and it’s fun to cheat all the time!

The short five-minute break was not enough for the players to recover too much physical strength.

After the players of both sides changed into a clean jersey, they returned to the court again.

It is worth mentioning that Wenger used up the last substitution.

Replaced the left winger Podolski with another tall The center forward Yaya Sanogo.

Sanogo, who is only 21 years old, has excellent physical fitness and has scored four goals in this season’s FA Cup.

Obviously, Wenger intends to let Sanogo and Giroud form a double center in the frontcourt to create a killing opportunity in the penalty area of ​​​​Leicester City!

With the referee’s whistle, the overtime of the FA Cup final began.

From the beginning of the overtime, Leicester City continued to implement the defensive counterattack tactics, built fortifications in its own half, and let Arsenal attack.

Arsenal was not in a hurry, but just penetrated with short passes at their own pace and continued to pull Pull the opponent’s formation and find space.

It was not until ten minutes into the extra time that Arsenal finally showed their fangs!

They began to frequently pass and cut in the space between the ribs, attacking the gap between the full-back and the central defender.

In just five minutes, Arsenal passed the ball directly to the center forward, then passed it back to the teammates who inserted, and completed the long shot at the top of the arc, constantly threatening Leicester City’s goal.

Fortunately, with the united efforts of Leicester City players to block the gun holes, most of the shots were blocked or saved by goalkeeper Schmeichel.

Moreover, what surprised both Arsenal and Leicester City players was that , Ling Feng, who played the full 90 minutes of the game, was able to run so happily!

Is he a robot?

He never gets tired? !

It was his running all over the field, constantly pressing and filling positions that made Arsenal’s attack in the middle not so smooth.

In this way, Leicester City finished the difficult first half of the overtime.

There was no break in the overtime, and the players of both sides could only come to the sidelines to drink water before entering the game again.

While drinking water, Ling Feng wiped Mahrez’s sweat with a towel and said to his teammates:

“Guys, there are still fifteen minutes, they will definitely attack more fiercely.”

“This means that they have space in the back defense.”

“Once you steal the ball, give it to me immediately. Jamie, don’t worry about it, just run forward! ”

At this critical moment, Pearson finally used up all his three substitutions.

Replace Nugent with Knocket, then move Vardy back to the middle, ready to counterattack at any time.

Then replace Matty James, who is running out of energy, and Schlupp, who has a yellow card, with Andy King and Paul Konchesky to increase the defensive coverage of the backcourt.

His idea is simple, that is, to counterattack and steal one when there is a chance.

Otherwise,

Defending until the last second, dragging the game into a penalty shootout!

And his time-delaying tactics were also faithfully executed by his disciples.

In the second half of the overtime, with the three new players of Konoket, Andy King, and Paul Konchesky, plus Ling Feng who seemed not tired at all, the four of them actively assisted and pressed in the backcourt, and Leicester City’s defense was even more solid than the first half of the overtime!

After a long time of attack, Arsenal’s players were a little impatient and made mistakes in passing.

After Andy King stole the ball, he immediately passed it to Ling Feng in front.

The latter took the ball and turned around without hesitation, and then sent a long pass over the top.

Unfortunately, Vardy’s physical strength was at the bottom. Even if the over-the-top ball passed the midfield and landed accurately in a large space on the Arsenal back line, he was unable to get rid of Koscielny’s close defense, get the ball first, and then enter the penalty area.

Seeing that Leicester City still had the ability to counterattack, Wenger on the sidelines and the Arsenal players on the field were frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

So, in the following time, they suddenly became timid and did not dare to attack too hard, for fear of being killed at the last moment.

As Arsenal suddenly became cautious, time unknowingly flowed to the last second.

Beep~beep~beep~~~

With the referee’s long whistle, the overtime of this FA Cup final also came to an end.

Next, the two sides will enter a brutal penalty shootout!
