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

The new season is coming.

Chapter 8: Intra-team confrontation, master style [Please read! Please vote! ]

Although it is the winter transfer window, the transfer operations and reinforcements of major clubs are in full swing.

However, the top management and head coach of Leicester City are very satisfied with the current structure and staffing of the team.

Except for selling a marginal midfielder who has no playing time in the team and transferring Ling Feng from the youth team to the first team, Leicester City has not made any transfers.

The number of the entire first team is exactly 26.

Wearing a monitoring black vest and changing into a long training suit, Ling Feng followed everyone to the training ground.

Under the arrangement of the head coach, everyone first had a physical training class to warm up.

While keeping a close eye on Ling Feng’s every move, head coach Pearson and assistant coach Walsh standing on the sidelines were whispering:

“His burst and speed are OK, his size is OK, but his confrontation ability is worrying”

“He has good endurance. If he is placed in the midfield, he can make a certain defensive contribution”

“He has solid basic skills. As long as he is given enough time, he should be able to quickly adapt to the rhythm of the Championship game.”

After the physical training class, there was a series of technical and tactical training.

During these trainings, Ling Feng’s strengths and weaknesses were fully exposed to his teammates and coaches.

First of all, the strengths.

In terms of passing skills, he is more than one level higher than all the first-team players on the field!

Various ways of passing are dazzling.

Outside instep pass, ground pass, overhead pass, 45-degree diagonal pass

Every pass is as accurate as if measured with a ruler.

And the strength is appropriate, making it very easy and comfortable for teammates to receive the ball.

The disadvantage is that except for passing, other offensive techniques such as stopping the ball, dribbling, shooting, etc. can only be said to be qualified, without any outstanding places.

But the defense is still acceptable.

In addition to being able to barely keep up with the offensive players without losing his position, he can also predict the opponent’s passing route from time to time and intercept.

Seeing Ling Feng’s performance in training, the head coach and assistant coach did not regret the decision to transfer Ling Feng to the first team at all, but confirmed a very important thing:

Ling Feng’s amazing pass in the FA Cup the day before yesterday was not a flash of inspiration, but a talent that can be replicated infinitely!

In the world of professional football, mediocrity is the worst evaluation of a player.

That means he has no characteristics.

Having characteristics means that the player has outstanding talents in some aspects.

In the eyes of the head coach and teammates, Ling Feng has unparalleled talents in vision and passing, and has great potential to become a midfield master like Xavi, Rui Costa, Fabregas, etc.

As for other shortcomings, they can be strengthened through acquired training.

Of course, training is training, and actual combat is actual combat.

Performing well in training without confrontation does not necessarily mean that you will perform 100% in actual combat.

Thinking of this, head coach Pearson shouted loudly:

“Okay, guys, take a break. In five minutes, we will have a confrontation match!”

After a short break, at the order of the head coach, the first team was divided into two teams, A and B.

After the main team put on the orange vest, it was Team A.

Ling Feng, who had just arrived, was assigned to Team B where the substitute players were.

The tactical formations adopted by both sides were parallel 442.

Ling Feng and Andy King were in the midfield of Team B.

With a “beep” whistle, the Leicester City team confrontation officially began!

After the kick-off, the stronger main team quickly took the initiative on the field.

Leicester City’s 442 style of play mainly relies on the performance of two midfielders.

The two midfielders have to organize the attack and intercept the defense, almost all-out attack and defense.

“Drinking Water Brother” Danny Drinkwater and Matty James are both English midfielders with solid basic skills, strong confrontation and strong running ability.

In addition, the two have been teammates in Manchester United’s youth training and have good tacit understanding.

With the team’s strength being superior, Team A suppressed Team B in the half as soon as the game started.

Such a one-sided scene was not beyond the head coach’s expectations.

Pearson’s face remained unchanged, and his eyes were just fixed on the black-haired young man on the field.

.

He wanted to see if Ling Feng could still perform well when the team was at a disadvantage.

You know, a genius player can do things that ordinary players can’t do.

. . .

Running on the flat natural grass, Ling Feng immediately entered the state.

Through the vision map in his mind, he can clearly perceive the running routes of his teammates and the positions of his opponents.

He also knows where there will be vacancies and where teammates may join in.

The whole court is under his control!

Facing Team A’s attack through two midfielders, Ling Feng wisely did not choose to fight with them, but predicted the opponent’s running position through [God’s Vision], selected positions in advance, and blocked the opponent’s passing route.

The excellent defensive position allowed him to intercept Team A’s passes several times, thus interrupting Team A’s attack.

And under Ling Feng’s several accurate interceptions and Andy King’s exhausting running, Team A’s attack in the middle could not proceed smoothly, and could only create opportunities through strong breakthroughs on both wings.

But the effect is very general.

The left side of Leicester is Lloyd Dale, a 31-year-old veteran. He is one of the fastest players in the team and has a long shot.

But after the age of 30, his speed has dropped significantly, and his ability to break through has also dropped significantly.

Many times, he failed to break through and passed the ball back.

Anthony Connoquet on the right is in his early twenties and is not very fast. But he has plenty of energy and good skills. He has repeatedly gained the upper hand in one-on-one matches with the left back of Team B and made several threatening crosses.

With a “clang” sound!

David Nugent, a striker who is only 1.8 meters tall but very strong, won the header and smashed the ball hard on the crossbar of the goal.

This is the most threatening attack of Team A since the opening ten minutes.

The goalkeeper kicked the ball again, and after several passes, the ball soon came to Ling Feng’s feet.

Seeing Ling Feng take the ball, the head coach Pearson on the sidelines would immediately shout:

“Press forward!”

“Don’t let him pass the ball easily!”

Hearing Pearson’s arrangement, the assistant coach Steve Walsh frowned, “Nigel, what are you doing?”

The former responded without looking back:

“You know, this is just an internal competition of the first team. The pace of the game in the Championship and even the Premier League will only be faster and more intense. I want to see if he can pass such a precise ball when facing pressure.”

Hearing this, Walsh opened his mouth and said nothing.

He just looked at Ling Feng on the field, silently cheering him up in his heart:

“Boy, let them see your strength!”

And Ling Feng did not disappoint them!

Every time he received the ball from his teammates, he would pass it out immediately, not giving the opponent players a chance to press.

He knew very well that with his current poor confrontation ability, the best choice was not to confront!

By passing the ball and running into empty space, Ling Feng adapted to the rhythm of the first-team game while organizing the attack of Team B in an orderly manner.

The [God’s Vision] that controls the overall situation allows him to run to the empty space to receive the ball at any time, and then get rid of the opponent’s entanglement and pressing through passing methods such as two-on-one.

Whether it is retreating to receive the ball in the backcourt or connecting and coordinating in a small range in the frontcourt, Ling Feng has shown maturity beyond his age.

Every pass on the court is so reasonable and penetrating.

Ling Feng’s superior performance made several figures emerge in the minds of head coach Pearson and assistant coach Walsh on the sidelines.

For example, Barcelona’s No. 6, Juventus’s No. 21, and Real Madrid’s No. 14

The figures of these midfield masters gradually overlapped with Ling Feng’s figure on the court.

With such an organizational core who can pass threatening balls and control the team’s rhythm in your team, there will be no problem with offense!

Thinking of this, head coach Pearson frowned, then turned around and said to the assistant coach seriously:

“Steve, maybe we need to prepare another set of tactics”
