The game was played in the middle of a long battle.
Chapter 64: Blue Fox Three Musketeers VS Red Wine Double Guns [Available tomorrow! ]
Time: March 29
Location: Turf Moor Stadium
As Burnley fans sang the team song “Dare to Dream”, the players of both teams walked slowly into the stadium from the player tunnel with the ball boys.
“Welcome to watch the focus battle of the 39th round of the English Championship, Burnley will face the top team Leicester City at home”
“This is not only a duel between the first and second in the standings, but also a direct clash of the championship this season.”
During the handshake session, Ling Feng shook hands with Burnley’s starting players one by one.
There are several players in Burnley that Ling Feng is familiar with.
For example, goalkeeper Heaton and right back Trippier
The most threatening players in the opposing team are naturally the “Red Wine Double Guns” on the team’s forward line
Danny Ings and Vokes!
Both of them are forwards who will be able to gain a foothold in the Premier League in the future.
Ings became famous in Burnley, and later transferred to Liverpool, Southampton and other teams, with outstanding shooting skills.
Vokes is the main center forward of the Welsh national team. Later, he played more than 200 times for Burnley and became a legend of the team.
And this pair of strikers scored 35 goals together in the Championship this season, accounting for half of the team’s goals, and they are the heroes of Burnley’s top two.
But, unfortunately, they met the newly formed Championship super trio “Blue Fox Three Musketeers”
With the help of Ling Feng, Vardy and Mahrez, Leicester City has been in a hurry since January and directly opened up the points gap with Burnley.
In just three months, the three of them scored a total of 40 goals together!
This direct confrontation is also of great significance to Burnley.
Because this may be their last chance to win the championship.
If they can beat Leicester City, the points gap between the two teams will be reduced from 14 points to 11 points.
There are still eight rounds left in the league. As long as Leicester City loses four of them and Burnley wins all eight games, they still have a theoretical chance of winning the championship.
Although no one in Burnley thinks that Leicester City will lose the chain at the last moment.
But what if.
Of course, even in order to lock in the promotion quota in advance and for the tiny possibility of winning the championship, Burnley hopes to end Leicester City’s winning streak at home!
. . .
Both sides have made sufficient preparations for this important game.
In the last game, both teams made comprehensive rotations to allow the main players to get some rest.
Therefore, in this game, the main players of both teams also appeared.
Because this game was too important, the English Football Association even sent Michael Oliver, a young Premier League referee who was trained as a key player, to officiate the game.
However, when Ling Feng saw this old man, he immediately felt that this game was destined to be not easy.
You know, this is the “Blind Man”, one of the four blind men in the Premier League!
“At home, Burnley, led by Sean Dyche, set up a 442 formation, with four midfielders standing in parallel.”
“Goalkeeper No. 1 Heaton, and the four defenders in the back line are.”
“From left to right, the midfielders are.”
“The forward line is No. 10 Danny Ings and Vokes.”
“And the visiting team Leicester City has followed their 4231 formation since February”
As the commentator introduced the starting lineups of the two teams, the game officially started with a whistle from the referee Oliver!
Burnley kicked off first.
Burnley’s style of play is very British, that is, long passes and crosses from the wing.
The main responsibility of the two midfielders is to defend and keep an eye on Ling Feng, the ball outlet.
The main means of attack is to make a cross from the bottom through the two wingers, directly looking for the striker partner Ings and Vokes.
Vokes is 1.86 meters tall, tough against, excellent header, a typical fulcrum center.
Ings is less than 1.8 meters tall, with speed and burst, outstanding sense of smell in front of the goal, and many goals are scored by grabbing points.
The technical characteristics of the two just complement each other.
Considering Ings’s ability to grab points in the penalty area, Pearson sent Moore, a young player with a faster turning speed, to partner with captain Morgan as a central defender.
With the home advantage, Burnley took the lead in making a shocking move amid the cheers of the fans.
In the seventh minute of the game, Burnley launched an attack from the right.
After right-back Trippier passed the ball to right midfielder Kettley, he went along the sideline from the right side.
High speed.
A simple two-on-one pass passed Nugent’s defense on the left and went straight to Leicester City’s half, facing Schlupp, the left back.
Trippier, who will become Newcastle’s captain and England’s main right back in the future, is a very important offensive starting point in Burnley’s lineup this season.
It is precisely with his excellent cross-ball footwork that he has repeatedly delivered ammunition to the two forwards and contributed eight assists!
And this time, Trippier did not continue to dribble the ball to the bottom line, but looked up at the position of the two forward teammates in the penalty area, and then used his right foot to cross the ball directly!
Simple and rough!
Even if he was caught in a tug-of-war with Morgan, who was as strong as the black tower, Vokes jumped up and gently rubbed it with his head.
The ball was ferryed to the front of the goal, which immediately caused chaos in the penalty area.
And just before Schmeichel was about to attack and take the ball, Ings, who had just gotten rid of Moore’s entanglement, reached his body and stretched his foot forward to shoot a cushion!
Facing the ball flying close at hand, Schmeichel subconsciously stretched out his hands and lifted the ball up.
With a “bang”, the ball flew over the crossbar and out of the bottom line!
“Wow! Schmeichel made a magical save!”
“It’s a pity that Ings shot the ball too straight.”
“This is the first shot of the game.”
After making the save, Schmeichel, who looked calm, punched the defenders and reminded them to concentrate.
“Keep an eye on him!”
“Don’t let them get the first point!”
Ings, who missed a great opportunity in front of the goal, held his head with both hands, looking unbelievable.
Then, Burnley took a corner kick.
And this time, Moore grabbed the first point, jumped up and headed the ball out of the penalty area, clearing the danger.
After several offensive and defensive rounds, Leicester City controlled the ball again.
Under Ling Feng’s organization and support, the Foxes pressed upwards and soon came to Burnley’s half.
Looking at Burnley midfielder Jones who was pressing forward fiercely, Ling Feng curled his lips and knocked the ball to Mahrez on the right without hesitation.
With the ball at his feet, Mahrez instantly came alive.
Those slender legs seemed to be full of magic, and the dance was dazzling.
After dribbling on the right and attracting two defensive players, Mahrez found that there was no space for a breakthrough, so he passed the ball back to Ling Feng who came to respond.
However, something that no one expected happened:
The next second, Ling Feng didn’t even look up to observe, and he kicked a curved cross into the penalty area without stopping the ball!
This cross was like a rainbow that broke through the sky after the rain, which was fascinating.
With a little rotation, the ball flew to the far post of the goal.
When everyone’s eyes followed the ball, Burnley’s players were surprised to find that they had missed the space at the back post!
Nugent, who came in from the left, made a diving header.
With a bang, he smashed the ball into the goal!
It will be available tomorrow at 12 o’clock!
Gentlemen, remember to come and play!
