The dominant performance in the away game against Leeds United made Ling Feng a hot topic on social media, newspapers and magazines again.
Eighteen years old, handsome, outstanding football skills
He has all the labels that attract attention and become the focus!
Although the Championship is the secondary league in England.
However, its intensity and excitement are among the top ten in Europe.
The influence in England and even European football should not be underestimated.
Therefore, after this game, Ling Feng once again appeared on the sports pages of many media magazines.
Whether in front of the TV or in the stadium, the audience and fans who have seen Ling Feng play football will not deny one fact:
Ling Feng is a rising football star!
When this young man plays football, his talent and spirituality are overflowing.
Moreover, he has been on the bench and provided assists to help the team win, which fully demonstrates his combat effectiveness.
Even though he has not started a game for Leicester City, he has become the most dazzling star in Leicester!
Therefore, on the second day after the game, the local newspaper in Leicester, the Leicester Mercury, chose the photo of Ling Feng with his arms open to accept the cheers and applause of the fans as the front page cover!
The title on the cover is a word in bold and black – “Genius!”
For Ling Feng, a handsome boy with Leicester blood, Leicester people completely regard him as their own child.
Parents will certainly feel proud of their children’s outstanding performance and can’t wait to show off to the world!
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Mercury used two full pages to report on him.
In this report, the writer first briefly described Ling Feng’s short career, from his steady progress in the youth team to his emergence in the FA Cup, to his promotion to the first team and his continuous substitute appearances.
Then he invited football commentators to analyze Ling Feng’s playing style and then explained his various abilities to readers.
Finally, the Mercury also held a fan vote with prizes at the end of the newspaper page.
The voting project is to think how many assists Ling Feng will have this season.
Fans can go to the newspaper’s official website to vote, and fans who finally guess the number of assists Ling Feng will have this season can get a year of free newspapers!
In addition to the local newspapers that are riding on the popularity, many football media and magazines have launched a new round of praise (praise) and praise (kill) for Ling Feng’s performance.
. . .
Leicester, Belvoir Base.
In the team massage room.
Ling Feng and Mahrez, who had just finished physical training, were lying on the massage bed, receiving a special massage from the team’s physiotherapist.
Just as Ling Feng closed his eyes and enjoyed the soreness of his thigh muscles, Mahrez’s voice rang in his ears:
“Hey, man, did you read the Mercury yesterday? You’re on the cover!”
Hearing this, Ling Feng didn’t even open his eyes, and he responded directly:
“I didn’t read it, but my parents bought a newspaper this morning, and they called me to tell me.”
Ling Feng’s calm reaction made Mahrez stunned, and he started to wonder again in his heart:
Is he really only eighteen years old?
If it was him, he would definitely call his parents, siblings, and even friends to show off to them.
Looking at Ling Feng with his eyes closed, Mahrez couldn’t help but ask his inner doubts:
“Why don’t you look excited at all?”
“It’s just the cover, it’s not a big deal.”
Although he said so, Ling Feng was already very happy in his heart.
This is the first time he has made the headlines of the newspaper!
Mahrez didn’t know that Ling Feng had already asked his mother to keep the newspaper with his first headlines as a souvenir.
Of course, in order to maintain his calm personality in front of his teammates, this kind of thing must not be told to anyone.
Even the entire first-team, Mahrez, who has the best relationship with him!
At this time, Mahrez seemed to think of something again, and then picked up the Apple phone next to the bed and asked Ling Feng again:
“By the way, Ling, how many Twitter fans do you have now?”
“I don’t know, I don’t have Twitter on my phone.”
Hearing this, Mahrez showed a surprised expression:
“What? You don’t have Twitter?!”
As a passionate
As a young man who loves football, Ling Feng has always focused on football and has no time to make friends, let alone play social media.
For him, the function of a mobile phone is to make calls, chat with the team group, and listen to music.
“Then you must not know that the fans are going crazy on the club’s official Twitter!”
“What crazy?”
“Look!”
As soon as the voice fell, Mahrez handed his mobile phone to Ling Feng.
After taking it, Ling Feng saw that the official Twitter of Leicester City Club was already flooded with various comments from Leicester City fans:
“Ling Feng is the next midfield master!”
“Let him start, it’s a big deal!”
“He deserves a start!”
“Coach, Ling is the starter, understand?”
Most of the comments from Leicester City fans, in addition to praise, are calling on the club and the head coach to give him more playing time, or let him start directly.
Among them, what surprised Ling Feng was that the comment with the highest number of likes came from Lineker!
Gary Lineker, a former England international.
He played for Leicester City, Everton, Barcelona and other clubs during his career, and won the Premier League Golden Boot, England Footballer of the Year, World Golden Boot and other honors.
He is also the second in the history of the England national team scorer list, with 48 goals in 80 appearances, second only to Bobby Charlton.
After retiring, he focused on football commentary.
In 1999, he became the host of the BBC’s football ace program “Match of the Day” (Match Day), and has been so until now.
With the huge influence of “Match Day”, the longest-lived football program in Guinness, this brother nicknamed “Football Gentleman” has an unquestionable status in the English football world.
He is humorous and quick to react, coupled with rich football knowledge and first-class eloquence, and has always been loved by the public.
It is worth mentioning that his greatest influence is not how many stars or games he has commented on, nor is it the identity of a famous “Messi fan”, but a self-deprecating speech.
After being eliminated from the finals by Germany on penalties in the 1990 World Cup and the 1996 European Cup, Lineker said a famous quote that has been passed down in the football world to this day:
“What is football? Football is a sport invented by the British, and after 22 people on the field fought fiercely and fought hard for 90 minutes, the Germans finally won!”
The grievances and hatreds between Britain and Germany in the field of football competition cannot be finished in ten days and ten nights.
Therefore, this speech has become a permanent pain in the hearts of many English people
As a well-known Leicester City diehard, Lineker also pays attention to Leicester City’s games from time to time.
He occasionally posts comments on Leicester City’s official Twitter to show his presence.
And this time, the comment is very surprising:
“Ling Feng is definitely the most creative midfielder in Leicester City’s history! From today on, I am his fan.”
Ling Feng was a little flattered by the praise of this predecessor.
You know, the last player he praised so much was Messi!
The celebrity effect is indeed not simple.
Lineker’s comment received more than 50,000 likes!
