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

The first time I saw him was when he was about to leave.

Chapter 348 You know I can make soup, but you just can’t defend it!

“If the sky has feelings, it will also grow old, seeing Hart’s kick!”

At this moment, there is only this sentence in Ling Feng’s mind.

This sentence is not just a joke made by fans.

And behind this joke, it can actually illustrate Joe Hart’s strength!

As a three-time Premier League Golden Glove winner and the current Great Britain goalkeeper, Joe Hart has excellent goal-line skills and outstanding save reactions.

The reason why he has repeatedly become the background board of world waves and even become a widely circulated joke is not only because of his problem with his position in front of the goal, but also because ordinary shots cannot threaten Joe Hart.

Often only a world-class goal that is difficult to save or a random magical goal can penetrate his ten fingers!

This time, facing Bale, who is in hot form in this cup, whether Joe Hart can keep his free kick out of the door is also a hopeless thing for many people.

After all, the nickname of “world-class background board” is not in vain…

“Wales got a free kick in the front court with an excellent position!”

“It is about 27 meters away from the goal, and it is completely possible to shoot directly.”

“Gareth Bale is standing in front of the ball, and Aaron Ramsey is next to him”

“Can Bale become a hero of Wales again? And can Joe Hart stop him? Let’s wait and see.”

Tens of thousands of fans at the Bolart Delely Stadium all held their breath and stared at the man wearing the coal-gray No. 11 jersey and tying his hair up.

And seven steps in front of him stood a luxurious human wall composed of Ling Feng, Ali, Kane, and Rooney, blocking the near corner of the goal.

A little further away, Joe Hart stood in the middle of the goal, with a focused expression, ready to fly and save the ball.

The next second, the referee blew the whistle!

Bale stood in front of the ball with his hands hanging naturally, then took a deep breath, and then stepped on a unique running start point and rushed towards the ball!

Run-up, shoot!

There was only a “bang” sound when the left foot came into close contact with the ball, and the ball suddenly shot out!

At the same time, the British wall with a value of nearly 200 million could not stop the ball at all.

The ball just flew over Rooney’s head, and then flew straight to the goal guarded by Joe Hart. .

The speed was so fast that it even had a strange and erratic trajectory.

However, just as Joe Hart moved one step to the left, the ball flying over the penalty spot suddenly began to fall!

“Elevator ball!”

Like the free kick against Slovakia in the first round, Bale once again scored a wonderful elevator free kick!

Ling Feng, who was a member of the human wall, just turned his head and saw the ball bounce up from the ground, then hit Joe Hart’s hand and bounced into the goal!

The next second, the entire Bolart Delely Stadium exploded instantly!

The Welsh fans cheered with great enthusiasm!

“Gareth Bale!”

“He has become the hero of Wales again!”

“What a wonderful elevator ball!”

“This is the second goal scored by Wales’ No. 11 in this European Cup!”

“This goal gave Wales the lead!”

After scoring the goal, Bale excitedly rushed to the corner flag area, then clenched his fists and roared from the bottom of his heart to the Welsh fans in the stands:

“Come On!!!”

With the increase of age and the influence of injuries, he is no longer the Monkey King who once stepped on the colorful clouds and rushed at White Hart Lane.

However, the “Monkey King” who has become a superstar is still making progress!

The superb free kick skills of two goals in two games in the European Cup announced to the world:

He, Gareth Bale, will not only pass the ball to himself three seconds later!

What no one expected was that the first to score was not England, which had the upper hand, but Wales, which was almost suffocated by the pressure!

Seeing the Welsh players rushing to the corner flag area and celebrating wildly with their star player, Ling Feng, who was standing in his own penalty area, frowned and felt helpless.

If he had known earlier, he would have let Bale shoot from outside the penalty area, and he would not have rushed up and fouled stupidly, giving Wales a free kick opportunity.

If there was no free kick in this excellent position, Bale would not have used his weird elevator ball again and sent the ball into the goal guarded by Joe Hart.

Of course, this goal cannot be entirely blamed on him.

In addition to the active gift and own goal assist, there are many factors that lead to a goal.

Sterling was intercepted on the wing, the central midfielder did not foul Bale, Dale was unable to return to defense, Ling Feng was forced to foul, and Bale’s shot was too wonderful

All of this finally created this wonderful free kick goal!

He pressed the ball all the way, but was penetrated by a counterattack from Wales.

This feeling was the first time for Ling Feng.

Until this time, he finally realized the frustration and discomfort of the other 19 Premier League teams when facing Leicester City’s quick counterattack.

So this is the feeling!

“It doesn’t matter!”

“Cheer up!”

At this time, Rooney, as the captain and leader of the team, responded immediately.

While clapping, he raised his arms and shouted to his teammates:

“It’s not like we haven’t lost the ball before! Just catch it back!”

“Get into the game!”

“Use your brain to play football!”

The last sentence was obviously said to Sterling.

And Sterling just lowered his head silently and walked back to his own half.

Although no one accused him of losing the ball just now, which was the culprit that eventually led to the loss of the ball.

However, he knew very well in his heart that if he lost the game in the end, he would definitely become the target of public criticism!

This also put more pressure on Sterling to a certain extent.

At this time, Ling Feng also noticed the little emotion of the “happy boy”, and then walked up, patted his shoulder gently, and whispered:

“Dude, it’s okay. How can a winger dribble without losing the ball? Just be more resolute. Whether it’s a breakthrough or a pass, I will be there to support you.”

“Let’s get the score back!”

Ling Feng’s words immediately warmed Sterling’s heart.

Watching the disciples on the field trying to digest the scene of losing the ball, Hodgson, who was sitting on the coaching bench on the sidelines, slowly relaxed his frown.

With Bale scoring this free kick, his tactical plan died ahead of schedule.

With a one-goal lead, Wales can more easily set up the bus, and then lure England to attack and look for opportunities to counterattack.

And England, which is behind, must also press on the attack.

Once there is another counterattack opportunity, Wales will definitely be able to threaten England’s goal again.

Although the situation on the field seems to have reversed.

However, Huo Taigong still sat on the Diaoyutai, without getting up from the coaching seat to shout or command.

Because he firmly believed that with his team’s offensive talent and firepower, they would soon be able to equalize the score!

. . .

After the kick-off again, England, who had the ball, pressed forward without surprise.

Wales’ defense retreated very far, leaving England with a lot of offensive depth.

Almost all of England’s players came to the front court to participate in the attack.

Even the two lagging central defenders Smalling and Cahill came to the top of the arc in the center circle!

However, in the face of Wales’s bus tactics of retreating to the half court, England did not have a good solution.

Even because Vardy, Sterling and Rooney’s trident pressed too much, the distance from the midfield was too far.

Fortunately, Ling Feng was in the middle to coordinate and dispatch, so as not to be out of touch.

As the team’s midfield commander, Ling Feng certainly realized the current difficulties faced by the team.

He began to consciously break through with the ball, and then through his own dribbling breakthrough, attracting the defense, and then passing the ball to the teammates who ran out of the empty space, creating opportunities and space for shooting.

Such a trick did have some results.

Ling Feng’s ball protection and confrontation are better than Sterling, and it is almost impossible for the opponent to steal the ball from his feet.

And the opponent can’t just watch him take the ball, someone must come forward to interfere and oppress, so as not to let him take a long shot.

But one person can’t defend Ling Feng, even if he pulls his hands, he can’t stop him.

So he must be defended in a zone.

The defense on his side will naturally give other teammates more space.

However, every time the ball is passed to Vardy, the attack ends.

Vardy, who served as England’s single striker in this game, was also closely defended by the opponent.

As a club and national team teammate who has fought side by side for two and a half years, Ling Feng knows very well that Vardy is a forward who uses speed to attack the opponent’s defense!

His characteristics and role can only be brought into play when he is counterattacking or has deep space to attack.

When he is caught in a positional battle, Vardy’s shortcomings such as back-to-back and headers are exposed!

So far in the first half of the game, Vardy has been caught in

He was stuck in the difficult quagmire of the muscle confrontation with the three central defenders of Wales and couldn’t extricate himself.

Vardy, who was trapped in the muscle jungle in the frontcourt, was not the main reason for the Three Lions’ unfavorable attack in the frontcourt.

Rooney, who served as the right winger, was more of a wing midfielder than a winger.

He had no speed to break through on the right, and most of the time when the ball reached his feet, his only choice was to force a cross.

But the quality of his cross was average.

Either it was intercepted by the full-back;

Or it was too high and was cleared by the Welsh central defender first;

Or it was impossible to contact Vardy who was trying to score in the penalty area;

The two-wing flying tactic, with one wing was useless, how could it fly? !

However, knowing that Rooney, whose physical function declined, could not break through on the wing, Hodgson could not let Rooney, the captain and spiritual leader of the team, play as a substitute.

Therefore, how to arrange his position became the key to whether the Three Lions could go further.

In the eyes of many people, Rooney’s best position is the front midfielder.

He can organize and dispatch through his own passes, and run in series.

The two defensive midfielders behind him can help him to cover the bottom, so that he can feel at ease to participate in the European attack.

However, the Three Lions already have Ling Feng, a front midfielder who is better than Rooney in all aspects.

Therefore, some people have proposed to put Rooney in the position of central midfielder or defensive midfielder, so that he can not only join the attack from behind, but also pull the opponent’s defense line through long passes.

Just like what he did in Manchester United.

But the problem comes again!

Rooney’s running and defensive abilities are average, and his midfield sweeping ability is insufficient. He can’t defend the large space left after the team’s formation presses forward.

Therefore, it is equivalent to another central midfielder or defensive midfielder, who has to bear the heavy responsibility of midfield defense alone!

Not only does he have to cover the bottom for Ling Feng, but he also has to clean up Rooney’s ass when he joins from behind, and guard the entire midfield alone.

Who can withstand this? !

Perhaps only Kante, who can’t run to death, can do it.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Hodgson would rather give up the speed of the wing and put the British captain on the right, rather than let him play as a defensive midfielder.

At least losing the ball in the frontcourt is much less threatening than losing the ball in the midfield.

Moreover, even if the frontcourt attack is unfavorable, he still has the trick of swapping Rooney and Ling Feng!

Therefore, under the instruction of Hodgson, the Three Lions assistant coach Livington immediately came to the sidelines and shouted to Rooney and Ling Feng on the field while making tactical gestures:

“Wazza! Ling! You change positions!”

Accompanied by the assistant coach’s shouting, Ling Feng and Rooney looked at each other immediately.

Then, the Three Lions No. 7 and the Three Lions No. 10 on the field completed the position swap!

This change, of course, did not escape the eyes of the Welsh coach Coleman on the sidelines.

He frowned immediately and realized that something was wrong.

As the core player of the Three Lions, Ling Feng is naturally the focus of Wales’ research in the preparation stage.

The Welsh coaching team was sick of watching his game videos and highlights.

He certainly knew that Ling Feng could play as both left and right wingers in addition to attacking midfielder, almost as a free man in the frontcourt.

As a winger, Ling Feng usually has only one trick when he plays as a right winger.

That is to make a pass from the outside and cross from the bottom!

Thinking of this, Coleman also came to the sidelines and shouted to his left center back and left wing back:

“That number seven can’t cut inside on the right!”

“Be careful of his outside breakthrough!”

Of course, both England and Wales speak the same language.

This means that Ling Feng, the person involved, also heard the opponent’s head coach’s targeted defensive strategy against him!

In response, Ling Feng just smiled.

Even if he knew he would make a pass from the outside, what would it matter?

Can he be defended? !

In the 30th minute of the game, Ling Feng got the ball on the right, facing the double defense of Welsh left wing back Neil Taylor and left center back Chester.

Without any hesitation, before the two of them got close, Ling Feng made a move with his upper body to cut inside, tricked Neil Taylor into moving his steps, and then used the outside of his foot to move forward.

The ball suddenly flew between Taylor and Chester, followed by a white afterimage!

A soup!

With the integration of speed and dribbling, coupled with the increase of game experience, Ling Feng’s soup on the wing has already had the flavor of “Robben’s cut inside”.

That is, you know I will do this next step, but you just can’t defend it!

“So fast!”

“So fast!”

Under the shocked eyes of Neil Taylor and Chester, Ling Feng actually passed through the space between the two, and then strode to the bottom line with the ball!

After taking a look at the positions of his teammates in the penalty area, he found that Vardy was blocked and Rooney had not yet entered the inverted triangle area.

Ling Feng made a prompt decision and chose to rub an arc and scoop the ball to the no-man’s land behind the goal!

As long as Sterling inserted from behind, he could complete the shot!
