The game was played in a different way.
Chapter 358 Lille’s 14 seconds killed a loophole in the game!
Of course, Ling Feng didn’t think Belgium was copying Leicester City’s homework.
The tactical formation of 442 parallel positions was once the most respected tactical formation in football.
No one else!
The tactic of changing to 442, one tall and one fast double striker, and then crossing from the wing was not the original creation of Leicester City.
England used to rely on this tactic to “make a living” for a long time.
And for Wilmots, who has little coaching experience, this tactic doesn’t require too much thought.
Because it is simple and crude!
Therefore, whenever the situation was not open, Wilmots would use Fellaini, the killer, to push him to the front line, and then cross the ball from both sides!
With a goal back, the gap between the two sides was only one goal.
With morale soaring, the Belgians pressed forward and began to press high!
England, which had one goal back, was also under pressure.
Of course, even Belgium, which has a luxurious offensive line, is not so easy to score when facing England’s dense defense.
However, some English players have rough skills and unstable mentality!
With left-back Rose sending a long pass under pressure, he wanted to find Vardy, the counterattack point in front, but he directly gave the ball to Belgium.
The Belgians took control of the ball again.
Moussa Dembele, wearing a red shirt, immediately passed the ball to the two wingers, and then directly passed the ball to the “one high and one fast” in the penalty area.
The suddenly awakened European Red Devils, the offensive was so fierce that the English players suddenly couldn’t resist.
Seeing that almost all the opponents had crossed the half court, except for Vardy, they began to park the bus in their own half court.
Even Ling Feng frequently returned to the front of the penalty area to help with the defense.
Just six minutes later, De Bruyne, who was cruising to the right, sent another arc cross at a 45-degree angle.
Instantly, there was chaos in the English penalty area.
The ball just passed over Cahill’s head and was headed back by Fellaini to Lukaku.
And Dale, who was defending Lukaku, immediately intervened with his body.
However, Lukaku, who was already prepared, directly withstood Dale’s collision.
Then he took advantage of the situation and flicked his left foot horizontally, opening up a little angle for the shot.
Hum!
Want to defend my Belgian Drogba?
You are still a little naive!
Just when Lukaku wanted to repeat his old trick and make a rhino shot, fortunately Ling Feng made timely defense and quickly kicked the ball from the side and back.
Smalling kicked the ball away with a big kick.
Lukaku couldn’t control the power of the shot because he missed the kick.
In order to avoid injury, he did a rhino flip.
After completing this wave of defense, Ling Feng glanced at Lukaku who quickly got up from the ground and pretended that nothing happened. He couldn’t help but joked with him when he passed by:
“Hey, man, your goal just now was pretty cool”
Hearing this, Lukaku looked at Ling Feng’s back as he left, and couldn’t help but mutter in his heart:
“Is this guy praising me or insulting me?”
With the Belgian offensive wave after wave, the entire England formation was also flattened, and the crosses from both sides repeatedly threatened the goal guarded by Joe Hart.
Fellaini alone completed three headers under the defense of Smalling and Cahill.
However, as long as it is not a world wave or a fairy ball, Joe Hart’s save success rate is still the top in the Premier League.
High and low blocks, Belgium’s headers and kicks are all blocked!
Although the full-scale attack allowed Belgium to create more scoring opportunities than in the first half.
However, what followed was the overall formation pressing forward, exposing a large space behind.
Especially the defense in the midfield, there are only De Bruyne, who is not good at defense and frequently pulls to the side, and Moussa Dembele, who has just been replaced.
This is equivalent to a large midfield with only Dembele as a midfielder!
However, Wilmots and the Belgians can no longer care so much.
The most urgent task is to seize the victory and equalize the score as soon as possible!
To do this, they will do whatever it takes!
At the same time, Ling Feng, who is always observing the game, also realized that the game has come to the most critical moment!
As long as we can resist the Belgians
Counterattack, they can use the gaps left by the opponent’s formation to launch a fatal counterattack, thus completely killing the game!
So, he began to actively retreat to the midfield and began to act as a “wall” wandering around.
Whenever his teammates were pressed, they would pass the ball to him, and he would attract the Belgian players around to grab the ball.
At that time, he would pass the ball back or transfer it to the weak side of the other side, so that he could easily break the opponent’s regional pressing.
It was precisely because of Ling Feng’s retreat as a wall to receive the ball from the backcourt that the pressure on the English defenders was reduced.
Facing the Belgian pressing, they only needed to pass the ball to Ling Feng, and they didn’t have to worry.
Although Ling Feng’s current ability to protect the ball and get rid of it is not as good as that of top midfield masters such as Xavi, Iniesta, and Zidane.
But with his own speed and burst that reached the peak of football, almost no one could grab his ball!
As time went on, the Belgians found that even if they kept pressing forward like mad dogs, it was difficult to snatch the ball from the feet of the English players.
Gradually, Belgium’s high-pressure pressing lost its initial sharpness.
After all, they were not a team that focused on high-pressure pressing tactics, and they had never conducted tactical drills for high-pressure pressing.
The excitement of the moment will eventually fade.
Moreover, among the front players, neither Lukaku nor Hazard were the kind of front players who were willing to press.
Fellaini, who temporarily played as a center forward, was willing to press.
However, with his height of more than 1.9 meters and his burly body weighing more than 100 kilograms, he could not support the intensity of pressing for too long.
As the willingness to press decreased, the enthusiasm for running also began to decline, and the distance between the pressing players was no longer close.
But the Belgians still thought they had suppressed England in the half court and felt complacent.
Little did they know that the reduced intensity of the pressing made them useless, which gave England the opportunity to switch from defense to offense.
As Rooney’s physical fitness declined, Hodgson chose to replace the captain with a fresh player to continue to maintain the ability to run in the frontcourt.
And the substitute was “your King Lin” – Jesse Lingard!
When his name was called, Lingard never thought that he would get the chance to come on as a substitute in such an important game!
Could it be that this was a chance for God to give him a goal to become famous? !
Facts have proved that he guessed right!
In the 75th minute of the game, Belgium’s high-pressure pressing slowed down a little, and Ling Feng retreated to receive the ball in the middle again.
And De Bruyne, who knew the threat, immediately followed.
He was even mentally prepared to pass the ball.
But Ling Feng didn’t even give him any chance!
Before De Bruyne got close to him, he seemed to have eyes behind him, suddenly pulled the ball back, turned around, and then accelerated suddenly!
In a flash, De Bruyne didn’t hesitate at all, and directly reached out and grabbed the corner of Ling Feng’s jersey.
Don’t even think about passing me!
However, the next second, Ling Feng suddenly accelerated, and directly used the acceleration to help the corner of the jersey shake off De Bruyne’s hand!
Fortunately, the jerseys customized by Nike for the Three Lions are of good quality, so they will not be torn by such a pull.
Seeing Ling Feng escape from his “clutches”, De Bruyne also gritted his teeth, burst out all his strength, and chased back frantically!
However, after chasing for a few meters, he found a very desperate thing:
Ling Feng’s dribbling speed is even faster than his empty running speed!
Seeing Ling Feng advancing with the ball in big strides, in the blink of an eye, the English fans in the stands stood up at the same time to cheer for the Three Lions No. 7:
“Go!”
“That’s it! Get past them all!”
“Ling, show them some color!”
Soon, Ling Feng dribbled the ball into the heart of Belgium, and then faced a situation of being attacked from both sides:
Behind him was De Bruyne, whose face was flushed because of his crazy pursuit, and in front of him was the last barrier of the Belgian midfield – “Tottenham’s true core” Moussa Dembele!
Facing Dembele’s determined eyes, Ling Feng knew very well that if he dared to pass in front of him, he would definitely knock him down at all costs!
So, after thinking for less than 0.03 seconds, he made the most reasonable decision that a world-class midfielder could make:
Pass the ball!
The outside of his right foot sent a curved pass through the entire midfield, bypassing the ribs between left center back Denayer and left back Lukaku, and came to the right outside the penalty area.
Not long after coming on as a substitute, Lingard, who was in great physical condition,
De, however, arrived in time, stopped, took advantage of the situation and moved forward, then dribbled the ball to the bottom.
Lukaku, who turned around clumsily, chased back frantically.
At the same time, due to the forward pressure of the formation, only two central defenders and the retreating Dembele were left in the entire Belgian backcourt.
After passing the ball, Ling Feng continued to move forward, like a ruthless sword, piercing the gap in the armor of the European Red Devils.
It was only a millimeter away from piercing the roaring heart of the Red Devils!
“Jesse!”
Even without Ling Feng’s shouting, Lingard, who dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area, did not hesitate to sweep his right foot and sent a low and fast cross pass to the middle!
Ling Feng in the middle accelerated and rushed to the front of the goal.
The Belgian double central defenders Alderweireld and Denayer also stuck to him at the first time, trying to stop him from shooting.
The next second, a scene that no one expected happened!
Just when everyone thought that Ling Feng, who had been in position, would definitely choose to shoot at the first opportunity, he stretched out his legs to pretend to shoot, but he took a step and let the ball slip through his crotch!
This slip was beyond the expectations of everyone present.
What? !
He didn’t shoot? !
When everyone followed the ball to the area near the penalty spot, they were surprised to find that Vardy was there at some point!
And there was no one guarding him within two meters of him!
Alderweireld and Denayer, the central defenders who turned around, couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.
They actually forgot about Vardy!
Facing the incoming ball, Vardy’s expression was focused, and he directly pushed the ball steadily and shot it towards the bottom corner of the goal.
Courtois, who had already moved to the right, was powerless even after making a flying save.
As the ball went into the net, the whole stadium burst into amazing cheers again.
“Biu~~~ Special or not!!”
“A textbook-like quick counterattack plus a quick counterattack!”
“Ling Feng, Lingard and Vardy, three former Blue Fox teammates, played a wave of wonderful cooperation like flowing water!”
“England scored another goal and widened the score again!”
“This is absolutely fatal to the Belgians!”
In the stands, countless Belgian fans held their heads with their hands and looked sad.
Even some female fans had seen the end of the team being eliminated, and their eyes were red.
On the other side, the English fan zone turned into a white ocean of joy.
At this moment, everyone’s mind was still savoring the beauty of the goal just now.
Then, the same question popped up at the same time:
Why did Ling Feng know that Vardy was behind him? !
He didn’t even look behind him!
Ling Feng certainly knew!
Who allowed him to have the [God’s Vision], which allowed him to always know the positions of his teammates and opponents!
Moreover, at that moment, he thought of the lore goal scored by Belgium against Xiao Rizi in the 2018 World Cup.
Therefore, after Ling Feng had already grabbed the first point, he suddenly had an idea and chose to let the ball slip!
Isn’t it fun to beat Belgium in the Belgian way?
And Vardy didn’t let him down, and scored the ball steadily!
After scoring the goal, Vardy rushed to Hodgson on the sidelines very excitedly, and then gave the old coach who gave him the chance to start a big hug!
Afterwards, the two were surrounded by their teammates on the bench and celebrated together.
In sharp contrast to this crazy celebration, the Belgian players were dejected and helpless.
Especially De Bruyne, who chased all the way back to the penalty area, just put his hands on his waist, panting, and stared at the black-haired young man who smiled and high-fived his teammates.
The 25-year-old De Bruyne looked at the 21-year-old Ling Feng, his eyes full of the figure he could not catch up with.
Until seeing the replay of the goal, everyone understood why Vardy appeared in that no-man’s land!
After Ling Feng passed De Bruyne in the middle and passed the ball to Lingard on the right, he continued to move forward.
Vardy, who was in the middle, moved diagonally to the left, attracting the defensive attention of Belgian right center back Alderweireld for Ling Feng.
At the same time, Sterling, who was moving forward at high speed on the left, also attracted the attention of right back Meunier.
So, at the moment Lingard passed the ball, a two-on-two situation was formed in the penalty area.
Ling Feng and Vardy VS Alderweireld and Denayer!
At the moment when Ling Feng rushed to the front point, Alderweireld, who was originally guarding Vardy, was also attracted
past.
As a result, Ling Feng missed the ball, which gave Vardy, who was unguarded behind him, a great chance to score a goal!
The most noteworthy thing is that in the post-match statistics, from the time Ling Feng took the ball, passed De Bruyne, to Vardy sending the ball into the Belgian goal, the entire counterattack and goal-scoring process took only 14 seconds!
