Chapter 25 Playing football, you need to use your brain [Seeking follow-up reading! ]

Looking at the situation on the field, just as he arranged, Mourinho, who was sitting in the coaching seat of the visiting team, couldn’t help but curl his lips and reveal a faint smile.

In fact, Mourinho had his own calculations, with Lampard, who had stronger offensive attributes, not Mikel and Ramires, who had better defense.

Although it was at Leicester City’s home ground.

However, considering the gap in strength between the two sides, Mourinho planned to take the initiative and attack fiercely at the King Power Stadium first, and strive to score as soon as possible.

After scoring a goal, he could be invincible by implementing his best defensive counterattack tactics.

Under this tactic, Lampard will frequently move forward, even behind Torres, playing the role of a second striker, so as to give full play to his strengths of shooting from behind.

And Matic, who is lagging behind, will take on most of the defensive tasks.

Among them, keeping an eye on Ling Feng is the death order given to him by Mourinho!

In Mourinho’s view, as long as Ling Feng, the main outlet, is restricted, Leicester City’s central attack will be paralyzed, and they can only rely on breaking through the flanks to open up gaps.

The defensive abilities of Chelsea’s two full-backs, Ashley Cole and Ivanovic, are also among the best in the Premier League.

It is not so easy for Leicester City to open a gap from the flanks!

And such a proactive change of tactics did catch Leicester City off guard.

By watching Chelsea’s game videos, Leicester City coach Pearson found that Mourinho’s team, at the beginning of the game, mostly focused on defense first and would not rashly launch a large-scale onslaught.

Therefore, all tactical arrangements before the game were made on this basis.

Unexpectedly, Chelsea attacked right from the start in this game!

“This Portuguese is very bad!”

“No, we must quickly shrink our defense and resist this wave of attacks first!”

However, before Pearson came to the sidelines to greet the players on the field, the situation on the field changed!

As Hazard continued to dribble on the left, Leicester City’s right back De Wright and another central midfielder Andy King were both fooled and looked very embarrassed.

In desperation, the central defender could only come to help defend.

However, just as Hazard used a move to shake left and right to break into the penalty area, the 20-year-old young central defender Liam Moore was too impatient and wanted to stretch his legs to steal the ball, but he kicked Hazard’s calf directly.

Chelsea No. 17 screamed and fell to the ground.

The next second, the referee Paul Tierney, who witnessed all this not far away, blew the whistle decisively and raised his hand to the penalty spot!

“Penalty!”

“Hazard was kicked down in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty!!”

“It’s worthy of being a penalty-making machine!”

When he first came to England last season, Hazard was the player who made the most penalties in the entire Premier League!

And this time, he showed his ability in the FA Cup.

Seeing the referee’s penalty, tens of thousands of home team fans in the King Power Stadium burst into a uniform boo.

They didn’t care that Hazard was covering his legs in pain and lying on the grass wailing.

These fans directly greeted Hazard:

“Oh, no!”

“What is that kid doing?! Why is he stretching his legs?!”

“Fark! This is a dive!”

Although this foul is very obvious.

Moreover, the replay on the big screen clearly showed that it was Moore who took the initiative to kick Hazard down.

However, as the captain of the team, Morgan still stepped forward to defend himself to the referee.

Moore, the young central defender who rarely got the chance to start, also tried his best to explain that Hazard bumped into him and it was none of his business.

However, referee Paul Tierney was unmoved, resolutely awarded a penalty kick, and showed Moore a yellow card.

After signaling the Leicester City players to stay away from him, he began to signal Chelsea players to take the penalty kick.

Chelsea’s first penalty taker was Lampard.

England’s most goal-scoring midfielder did not waste the opportunity and scored in one fell swoop!

With a powerful volley, the ball drilled into the lower left corner of the goal at a very fast speed.

Schmeichel could only sigh at the ball.

Less than eight minutes after the start of the game, Chelsea took the lead with Lampard’s penalty kick!

“One to zero!”

“Away battle

Chelsea got off to a dream start! ”

Just as Chelsea players were celebrating in the corner flag area, captain Morgan and Vardy were raising their arms to encourage their teammates who were disappointed by the loss:

“It doesn’t matter, the game has just begun!”

“Yes, we still have time!”

“Get serious!”

The shouts of teammates and the singing of away fans echoed in his ears, and Ling Feng’s brain began to work frantically.

At this moment, he had only one thought:

How can he help the team defeat Chelsea and win this game?

After traveling through time, even if he had a system like a plug-in, Ling Feng did not completely pin his hopes of becoming stronger on the system.

In his opinion, the system is just a catalyst for him to become stronger faster.

To truly become a strong professional player, you must put in enough effort and sweat!

And playing football, in addition to using your feet, you also have to use your brain.

Therefore, whether in training Whether in practice or in the game, Ling Feng is thinking all the time.

How to do this action to better connect to the next step, how to pass this ball to directly create a threat, how to run this attack to better support teammates

It is this kind of active thinking that makes Ling Feng have a clear understanding of his own strengths and weaknesses.

His strengths are high passing accuracy, diverse passing methods, top-notch off-ball running, and strong running ability;

The disadvantages are poor physical confrontation, average defensive ability, average footwork, and average finishing ability.

According to the various types of midfielders in today’s football, Ling Feng positions himself as the core of the frontcourt organization. The center is equivalent to the number 10 position.

Reduce personal dribbling, be responsible for connecting the frontcourt offense, create opportunities with passes, and thus threaten the opponent’s goal.

And he is very clear that his physical confrontation ability at the current stage is not enough.

Not to mention the tall and strong Matic, he can’t even stand Oscar, the worst physical player in Chelsea.

So, under the dilemma of Matic focusing on him, how should he break the situation?

Fortunately, this is not the first time that Ling Feng has been focused on.

In the last game against Leeds United, he was also followed by the opponent’s midfielder, but he still made a perfect performance of one pass and one shot, helping the team win The game.

This time, he can also use the same method to deal with it.

And the way to break the deadlock is to retreat and change positions!

As long as he retreats to his own half to get the ball and organize, Matic, who is the only defensive midfielder, dare not continue to follow.

Because once he follows, Chelsea’s midfield position will have a large space.

If Matic does not follow, he can change positions with Mahrez on the right side, and then make threatening passes on the right side facing the goal.

However, this method requires the cooperation of teammates.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng waved to Mahrez not far away and shouted:

“Riyad! Come here!”
