Full-Level Pass, Please Call Me The Boss Of The Three Lions

Chapter 21

The new season is coming.

Chapter 21 A man born for the FA Cup?

Since Leicester City eliminated its opponent Stoke City in the third round of the FA Cup and entered the fourth round.

Therefore, the 27th round of the league, which was supposed to be held on January 25, was postponed to February 12.

Instead, it will be a cup match against the Premier League giants “Blues” Chelsea!

And this game will be held at Leicester City’s home stadium.

In the last round, Leicester City reversed and defeated Stoke City, which surprised and delighted Leicester City fans.

Coupled with the recent excellent form and winning streak in the league, Leicester City fans are very willing to come to the King Power Stadium to cheer for their team.

In just three hours after the tickets were put on sale, all of them were sold out, except for the 3,000 tickets reserved for away fans!

It has to be said that the FA Cup is a great opportunity for teams in lower-level leagues to make money.

Let’s talk about the prize money first.

Entering the first round, you can get a prize of 36,000 pounds.

The second round is 54,000 pounds, and the third round is 82,000 pounds.

The higher you advance, the higher the prize money.

In addition to the prize money, ticket revenue is also a considerable income.

The ticket revenue of the two teams will be distributed in proportion after deducting the cost.

Add to that the broadcast share and other income, the amount is not small.

For the Championship teams, this is a good income.

And for teams in lower-level leagues such as English League One and English League Two, these incomes may be their income for several months, or even half a year or a year!

Therefore, these teams will naturally send their main players and go all out.

But the wealthy Premier League teams don’t care much about this.

Therefore, Premier League teams generally use cup games as a training ground for new players and substitutes, and rarely send out the main players of the team.

This is why, from time to time, the FA Cup will see upsets where low-level teams beat Premier League teams!

Of course, even if Premier League teams make full rotations and all substitute lineups, they are not opponents that low-level teams can compete with.

Every player who can play as a substitute in a Premier League team has excellent abilities.

Either they are talented potential new stars, or they are old players with rich experience in the top league.

Even if the coaching staff analyzes that Chelsea will also make large-scale rotations in the FA Cup.

However, Leicester City did not take it lightly, but followed its own plan and carefully practiced the passing and controlling tactics with Ling Feng as the core.

. . .

Belvoir Base.

On the training ground of the first team, the head coach Pearson’s shouts could be heard from time to time:

“Dean (Hammond), dribble less and pass more!”

“Riyad (Mahrez), hold the ball on the right and wait for the defender to set up.”

“Ling, you should enter the top of the penalty area more often to receive the inverted triangle pass”

The Leicester City players on the field, wearing long training suits, were conscientiously implementing the coach’s tactical arrangements.

In late January, the British Isles were hit by a cold wind.

Fortunately, the bright sunshine was shining down, which drove away some of the coldness in the body.

Soon, this intra-team group competition ended with a whistle.

Taking off the orange vest representing the main force, Ling Feng, sweating profusely, came to the sidelines and took the towel and functional drink handed over by the physical trainer.

While wiping the sweat with a towel, head coach Pearson also came to the sidelines, grabbed Ling Feng’s shoulders, and began to say:

“Ling, you performed well just now. However, when facing Chelsea, if we want to control the ball, it will definitely not be so easy.”

“So, I need you to run and keep receiving the pass from your teammates.”

While listening to Pearson explaining the tactical details to him, Ling Feng drank water and nodded from time to time.

Two consecutive weeks of tactical video courses not only made Ling Feng familiar with the team’s tactics, but also made his related attributes have improved to a certain extent.

And because of the low attributes, even without special training or extra training, Ling Feng’s attributes in the [Defense] category have also improved significantly.

[Steals] changed from 40 to 42, [Marking] changed from 35 to 37, and both attributes increased by two points.

In addition, the [Physical] attribute has the most obvious improvement.

Because he knew that Ling Feng’s confrontation ability was very poor.

So in the past two weeks, Pearson arranged a physical trainer to conduct special confrontation training for him.

Generally speaking, the head coach is the

There are only two situations for a coach to give a private lesson to a player.

Either the player is not strong enough at this stage, but has great potential;

Or the player is strong enough, but has shortcomings.

Whether it is the former or the latter, it means that the head coach attaches great importance to the player.

Because, for those players who have no potential or talent, the head coach will not waste time on him

Under the hands-on guidance of the physical coach, Ling Feng’s [Balance] attribute increased from 62 to 64, and [Strength] also increased from 45 to 47!

Although the improvement is not big.

However, being able to see his own growth intuitively is enough for Ling Feng to feel that he is getting stronger little by little, so that he has more sufficient motivation to train!

It is worth mentioning that in the last league game, the two free attribute points obtained by completing the [Championship First Goal] and [Championship Best of the Game] achievements were added to the burst by Ling Feng.

And this time, after adding points, Ling Feng finally felt a little different.

He clearly felt that his explosive power at the start was a little stronger.

Not much, but I can really feel it!

The slight changes in his body made Ling Feng imagine boldly.

What would it be like if his [Burst] attribute reached 99 one day? !

. . .

With active preparations and training, time soon came to the day before the game.

That is the day to announce the starting lineup for the next game!

All the players of the first team gathered in the tactical room.

All eyes were on the head coach Pearson, hoping that their names would appear from his mouth.

“The starting eleven for tomorrow’s game are Kasper (Schmeichel Jr.).”

“Moore.”
