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

The game was a big success, and the team was in a difficult situation.

Chapter 347 Are you the Welsh Lin Daiyu? You fall down at the touch? !

Sure enough, under England’s high pressure, even if Wales had a lot of players in the backcourt, it was difficult to find a safe point to pass the ball from the backcourt.

Because there was always an English player with Joe Allen and Ramsey.

In order to avoid long passes in the backcourt, the central defender could only pass the ball to the wing as much as possible, allowing the two wingbacks to advance or pass forward.

In Wales’ tactics, the two wingbacks Chris Gunter and Neil Taylor are very critical wing boosters.

They have to assist and take on the defensive task of protecting the flanks.

However, compared with England’s Tottenham wing combination Rose and Walker, the Welsh wingers are more than one level lower in level and strength.

This time, after Chris Gunter, the right wingback who plays for Reading in the English Championship, received the ball, he did not hesitate to make a soup in the face of Sterling’s defense!

However, he underestimated Sterling’s physical confrontation and speed!

With a twist and acceleration, Sterling squeezed in front of him with his duck-like hips, separating him from the ball.

Fortunately, Gunter reacted quickly and reached out to pull Sterling to the ground in the first time to prevent him from passing the ball.

Otherwise, Ling Feng, who had come to respond, could directly take the ball and launch an offensive in the frontcourt.

In this wave of offensive and defensive rounds on the wing, the ball possession was changed.

Next, England, which controlled the ball, began to launch wave after wave of attacks on the Welsh position under the command and dispatch of Ling Feng.

However, in modern football, positional warfare is the most headache-inducing topic for head coaches, no one else.

Since Wales had a large number of players in the backcourt, with five defenders and three midfielders, all of them retreated to the half court.

In such a narrow space, it was difficult to achieve results in short passes or pass-cut coordination.

Especially Ling Feng, Wales obviously conducted in-depth research on him.

Knowing that his long-range shooting range was very outrageous, they specifically let Ramsey get in front of him, without pressure or stealing, just to prevent him from easily taking long shots.

And Ling Feng couldn’t directly shoot the heavy artillery at the players at close range.

That would only cause great damage to the opponent.

You know, he came to play football, not to kick people.

Even under such tight defense, although England firmly controlled the situation on the field, it couldn’t find too good shooting opportunities for a while.

Ling Feng could only get the ball in the middle to attract the defense, then pass the ball to both sides, and then Sterling or Rooney received the ball on the wing and completed the inside shot.

However, such a shot was not difficult for Crystal Palace goalkeeper Hennessey.

After all, both Sterling and Rooney are his old rivals in the Premier League.

Even so, the first half of the game lasted fifteen minutes without knowing it, and England’s possession rate and number of shots were far ahead of Wales!

Wales didn’t even have a shot!

The live broadcast camera was also given to “Mr. Huo” sitting in the coaching seat on the sidelines.

The old coach looked calm and composed.

He didn’t even get up from the coaching seat once and came to the sidelines to direct.

This is confidence in the situation on the field, and also out of understanding the strength of his disciples.

Of course, he knows the players and strength of his team very well.

If we really talk about the team’s offensive power, England, which has top Premier League stars such as Ling Feng, Kane, and Vardy, is definitely in the top three in this cup!

Therefore, in his vision, if England wants to achieve good results in this European Cup, it must carry out the offense to the end!

In this way, Ling Feng, Kane, Sterling, etc. can be fully utilized, and the hidden dangers of unstable defense can be avoided to a certain extent.

Facing Wales, who started the game with a defensive plan, the team had to seize the opportunity and take the lead as quickly as possible.

And it would be best if there was a goal 20 minutes before the game started.

In that case, Wales, who were behind, would be forced to attack in order to tie the score.

At that time, the entire defensive counterattack tactic would collapse!

The larger the space on the field, the more opportunities England, which had a fierce offensive firepower, had.

Seeing that the team continued to attack but could not score, Hodgson and assistant coach Livington on the coaching bench were not worried.

Under such a high-pressure offensive, Wales’ defense could not last too long.

In their opinion, as long as they continued to suppress the opponent,

Hands, consume the opponent’s energy and physical strength, and even the most dense defensive formation will have flaws.

And the goal will come soon.

. . .

The last victory over Russia and the media’s constant praise made the arrogant English a little proud.

In addition, in this game, Wales put on a defensive formation, which also made the English players underestimate Wales.

Seeing Wales being pressed in the half court and rubbing wildly, the English players did not continue to play the ball quickly, and the time the ball stayed at their feet gradually became longer.

Among them, Sterling was the most sticky.

Since Rooney on the right had no speed to blast, he either passed the ball directly or passed it back.

Therefore, the important task of breaking through the wing to tear open the gap in the defense line was given to the “happy boy” Sterling.

Although Sterling, who transferred from Liverpool to Manchester City in the just-concluded season, is still in the stage of adapting to the team. In addition, the team encountered a coaching change and the state fluctuated, so his offensive data did not have a big blowout.

However, in Manchester City, he is the only explosive point on the wing!

Sharp breakthroughs are the foundation of his foothold.

In the Three Lions, which mainly plays on both wings, Sterling’s breakthroughs and threats are also one of the team’s regular tactical routines.

Even if Ling Feng is faster than Sterling and his breakthroughs are more brutal, when facing dense central defense, he can’t pass several people alone, tear open the opponent’s frontal defense line, and then send the ball into the goal.

Breaking through the wing with fewer defenders is always the first choice to tear open the opponent’s defense gap!

However, the outstanding performance against Russia in the last game, coupled with the repeated breakthroughs on the left in this game, also made Wales prepared and ready.

Especially the right wing defender Gunter, who was repeatedly fooled by him, began to slowly adapt to the breakthrough methods and habits of the Manchester City winger.

When the game came to the 23rd minute, Sterling received the pass from Ling Feng again on the left.

This time, facing the confident Sterling, Gunter turned sideways to prevent Sterling’s sudden change of rhythm, while calling for midfielder Ledley to come over to assist.

“Tsk! Do you think one more person can stop me? I can still pass!”

Before Ling Feng showed his talent, Sterling was the most expected star of the Three Lions!

He was also regarded as the future of the Three Lions by Hodgson and the British media.

But after Ling Feng rose rapidly and became the key training target and absolute core of the Three Lions, Sterling’s tactical position declined rapidly.

At least he no longer needs to do the task of taking the ball and organizing.

In theory, the frontcourt players have their own duties and work together, which is beneficial to the team’s offense.

For Sterling, focusing on improving the role of winger and no longer distracting himself from organizing and dispatching is beneficial to his career growth.

However, he still has some psychological gap.

Although as time goes by, and Ling Feng’s extraordinary growth rate, he also admires Ling Feng, who is half a year younger than him.

He even believes that Ling Feng is definitely the best in the same age group.

However, whether in the Premier League or in the Three Lions, he is secretly competing with Ling Feng.

This time participating in the European Cup, he certainly hopes to tell everyone through his outstanding performance in the European Cup that the Three Lions are not only Ling Feng and Harry Kane, but also Raheem Sterling!

And his ability to break through the wing is definitely unique in the Three Lions!

Of course, in Hodgson’s eyes, Sterling is definitely an indispensable explosive point in the frontcourt.

After all, since Lennon, Walcott and other fast wingers, Sterling is the only full-time winger who can use speed to break through on the wing.

In order to leave a position in the frontcourt for captain Rooney, and to allow him to give full play to his sharp breakthrough characteristics, Hodgson gradually changed his position in the national team from right winger to left winger, wanting to train him to the role of reverse winger.

The most threatening way for an inverted winger is naturally to break through and cut inside to shoot!

Knowing that Sterling’s dominant foot is his right foot, the two-man team of Gunter and Ledley mainly defended Sterling’s cut inside.

Facing the double defense, Sterling did not choose to pass the ball to Ling Feng in the middle, but chose to do it himself!

However, he underestimated his opponent!

When Sterling tried to cut inside horizontally with his right foot, Gunter immediately stepped up and began to force him to continue cutting inside.

Under physical confrontation, Sterling, who was in motion, still showed excellent footwork, staggering to protect the ball under his feet

, and even completed a horizontal dribbling.

But at the moment of passing Gunter, the ball was slightly wider.

And this mistake, which could not be called a mistake, gave the Welsh midfielder Ledley, who was assisting in the middle, an opportunity!

With a strong defense, he separated him from the ball and completed the steal!

In this way, two Welsh players successfully intercepted the ball under Sterling’s feet through double-teaming!

“Break the ball!”

Leaning on Sterling behind him, Ledley looked up and immediately looked for the one who sent a straight pass to the middle.

Bale, who retreated to the middle to receive the ball, kicked it horizontally to Joe Allen not far away, and then immediately turned and moved forward.

The Welsh winger, with his long legs, surpassed the Three Lions midfielder Henderson beside him at a very fast speed, and rushed forward without hesitation!

Seeing this, the Welsh fans in the stands also began to cheer:

“Go!”

“That’s it!”

“Kill the English!!!”

“After being suppressed for nearly 25 minutes, Wales finally made their first quick counterattack!”

Under the expectant eyes of the Welsh fans, Joe Allen did not hesitate, looked up, and immediately passed the ball to Ramsey who was advancing on the left.

Not far away, Bale attracted the Welsh midfielder, dribbled the ball forward, and then sent a beautiful straight pass forward with the outside of his foot!

Bale made a diagonal cut from left to right, ran behind Dale, and received the ball at the front of the penalty area!

Just as Bale was about to shoot, he heard Ramsey’s shout:

“Watch out behind you!”

The next second, he felt a murderous aura coming from the diagonal back.

He didn’t even need to look back to know that the opponent was coming!

And at the critical moment, it was Ling Feng who was chasing back at high speed who rushed to the key location!

As early as when Bale passed the ball to Joe Allen in the middle and then turned forward, Ling Feng had already sensed the danger.

Because such a smooth counterattack was not unfamiliar to Ling Feng, who played for the best counterattack team in the Premier League!

So, he started running back immediately.

While he was staring at Ramsey’s running position, he also kept an eye on Bale’s running position with the corner of his eye.

He knew very well that only these two people in this Welsh team were capable of playing an efficient counterattack.

Sure enough, he was not wrong!

He chased back all the way, and he caught up with Bale at the front of the penalty area without even using his full strength.

Bale, who had experienced a soleus muscle injury, was no longer as fast as the “Great Sage” who was flying on the wing and playing with the two Inter Milan stars Maicon and Zanetti.

However, his game experience and awareness were becoming more and more sophisticated.

Although he was surprised at how fast Ling Feng returned to defense.

However, facing Ling Feng’s right rear collision, he still made the most reasonable choice:

Step out with his right foot, protect the ball, and then slightly tilt his body to the right to occupy a favorable position in advance.

At the moment of collision with Ling Feng’s body, he fell forward with a “ah”.

In a flash, Ling Feng also realized that his action seemed a bit reckless, and was amazed at Bell’s “acting skills”

No?

Are you Welsh Lin Daiyu?

Fell down at the touch? !

The next second, the referee blew the whistle!

Ling Feng, who was called for a foul, did not protest or defend himself.

He knew very well that this was the “tuition” he paid for his lack of game experience.

All in all, he has only played 100 professional games since his debut in January 2014.

Compared with Bell, he has played more than 250 games since his professional debut at the age of 16!

This is still under the premise of being affected by the injury!

However, this foul cannot be entirely blamed on Ling Feng.

Because under normal circumstances, as a front midfielder, he rarely needs to return to the front of the penalty area like this.

The attack just now was because the entire midfield was penetrated by Wales’ three passes and two knockdowns, and then he was forced to return to defense.

Strictly speaking, if Sterling passed the ball out and played a wall match with him;

If Henderson and Dale could delay the opponent’s attack;

This counterattack would not have happened later, and he would not have to take the blame.

However, for this tactical foul, Ling Feng still took the initiative to raise his hand, indicating that it was his own problem.

Then he did not forget to stand in front of the ball, guarding against Bale’s quick serve, and took the initiative to reach out to Bale.

Seeing this, Bale, who was sorting out his socks, did not mock Ling Feng’s foul, but just smiled, then shook Ling Feng’s hand and stood up.

“Thanks, buddy”

Accompanied by Bale

The referee pointed to the ground and then began to signal Ling Feng to step back.

This was a free kick about 27 meters away from the goal.

The position was slightly to the right, just right for Bale’s left foot to shoot directly.

In the first round of the group stage, in the match between Wales and Slovakia, Bale used a beautiful elevator ball to penetrate the Slovakian goal and scored Wales’ first goal in the European Cup finals.

This time, facing England, the biggest enemy in the group, he got a free kick again.

And seeing Joe Hart standing on the goal line with a face as if facing a great enemy, Ling Feng’s heart was lifted up all of a sudden!
