Football: Legend Template! I made Yosi cry
Chapter 20
Ling Feng was a little surprised to hear the coach Ranieri calling his name!
It's not that he was not prepared.
Although he was included in the game's roster and sat on the team's bench, Leicester City still had at least 2~3 midfielders available on the bench.
These players were veterans who had followed the team for several years.
From the perspective of the team's tactical execution and tacit understanding, they were obviously stronger than himself!
Moreover, as a coach with more than 30 years of experience, Ranieri 's coaching style has always been known for its conservativeness.
Before this, Ranieri and Ling Feng had a private conversation.
Although Ranieri admired Ling Feng very much, he was not prepared to put Ling Feng in the starting position of the team at the beginning of the new season.
After all, Ling Feng had only been training with the team for a month.
If he wanted to fully integrate into the team's tactics, this time might be too short!
The beginning of the new season is very important.
And stability is the key!
Ling Feng also expressed his understanding for this.
He had even prepared for the fact that he could not debut smoothly in the first few rounds of the league!
After all, for any team.
No matter how strong a player is or how big his status is, when he first arrives at the team, he will most likely start as a substitute and adapt to the team's tactical style of play!
Ling Feng never thought that he would have the opportunity to play in the first game of the league!
At this moment, his teammates at Leicester City were also very surprised!
A month ago on the training ground, Ling Feng showed off his amazing long pass skills, which are still fresh in the memory of his teammates!
But what also surprised his teammates was that it is not difficult to find out through regular training and competitions.
In addition to Ling Feng's long pass level, which has reached an unattainable height, his level in other aspects is quite average!
Even compared to long passes, there is an extremely split and inexplicable sense of contrast!
During regular training, Captain Vardy had joked to Ling Feng more than once:
"Your long pass level once made me feel that you should not be on Leicester City’s training ground, but in the football hall of fame!"
"But your other aspects suddenly made me feel that I am quite worthy of being your teammate!"
After a long time, the teammates' surprise for Ling Feng was no longer as strong as when they first met!
At this time, seeing that coach Ranieri actually let Ling Feng play, although the teammates had expectations for Ling Feng and his long pass ability, they were also worried.
In addition to long passes, Ling Feng's other aspects were quite average.
Whether Ling Feng could achieve tacit cooperation with his teammates and whether he could integrate into the team's tactics was still an unknown!
After all, this is an official Premier League game.
The intensity is far beyond the usual confrontation!
This kind of expectation and worry made Ling Feng take off his coat and prepare to go on the court.
The other teammates on the bench patted Ling Feng's arms and cheered him up!
"Come on Ling Feng!"
"Good job mate! It's your Premier League debut!"
"Just don't make mistakes in the first game! We believe in you!"
At this time, Ranieri looked at Ling Feng who came over after warming up.
His mind was full of thoughts!
He knew that his decision to let Ling Feng play was a risky decision!
Ling Feng has never had any professional career experience!
Not to mention the Premier League, the top league!
This is a huge challenge for any 18-year-old young player!
But now he really has no choice!
In order to be safe, he greeted the first game with last season's starting lineup.
But in terms of the team's offense, it is still the same as last season's chronic disease.
There is no effective solution at all!
Last season, the team's starting lineup has always been 442.
But Ranieri later discovered that the problem with the team's offense is not the number of strikers.
It is the weakness of the midfield's offensive strength!
So during the team's preparations this season, they have been preparing for training in a 4231 formation.
The striker The team changed from two players to captain Vardy taking the lead alone.
The number of midfielders increased from 4 to 5!
I thought that under the implementation of the new formation, even the old team should be able to show different content on the field.
But the facts proved that I was too naive!
The midfield lacked creativity.
Even the adjustments and changes in formation and tactics were basically just a change of soup but not medicine!
It could not solve the fundamental problem of the team's lack of offensive power!
Now the team's main players are injured and they are one goal behind!
In this double disadvantageous situation, if we still use a conservative style to make personnel changes, perhaps it will lay the seeds for today's defeat!
Therefore, Ranieri gritted his teeth and made the choice of replacing Ling Feng, which was a break-and-build choice!
In the first official game, Ling Feng, who had no professional league experience, was allowed to play.
This was indeed a huge risk!
But at this moment, this risk had to be taken!
"Ling Feng, don't be nervous, just treat it normally!"
"I don't have too many requirements for you in this game, just try to reduce mistakes as much as possible!"
When the fourth official on the sidelines raised the substitution sign,
Ranieri encouraged Ling Feng!
Ranieri's words, on the one hand, comforted Ling Feng and did not create psychological pressure on him.
On the other hand, it was indeed his true words!
As an old coach with 30 years of coaching experience.
He has seen too many young players who are just starting out.
What kind of state is it in the top arena!
Being able to play 60% of the strength on the training ground and not being nervous is already very thankful!
This is not alarmist or exaggerated.
Anyone who has not been in contact with���Young players in the Premier League.
The fierce confrontation on the field is definitely something these young people have never imagined!
Ling Feng didn't say anything, just nodded firmly!
Ling Feng's calmness surprised Ranieri very much.
He didn't know if Ling Feng was nervous at this time.
But Ling Feng's resolute eyes still made Ranieri feel a little relieved.
At this moment, Ranieri was also praying in his heart.
If Ling Feng can perform exceptionally well in this game and help the team equalize the score.
In exchange for a draw, then I will really thank God!!
For a small Premier League relegation team like Leicester City, it is common to lose a game in the Premier League.
38 league games in a season.
It is not surprising to lose more than 20 games!
After all, this is a top league like the Premier League.
The gap in strength between the bottom of the league standings and the leading group is an insurmountable huge gap!
It's just that Ranieri hopes to avoid failure as much as possible in the first game of the league!
Make a good start for the league.
A draw is enough to make a small team like Leicester City happy!
Not to mention, today is an away game!
The angry Leicester City fans also noticed that the team was making substitutions!
"It seems that the injured Drinkwater can't continue the game!"
"The team is ready to make substitutions!"
"Who is this person? A stranger? An Asian?"
"LING? The name on the back of the jersey is obviously not European!"
"wait���.......Why is he wearing the number 7?! This is the number of the great Lineker! No one has worn it for decades!! Why does he wear it?!"
"Who is this Oriental guy? Is he the team's new signing this summer?!"
"Didn't you guys follow the roster updates over the summer?"
"I heard that this player is from Long Country. He performed extremely well in the Victoria trial camp this summer and was spotted by the team and signed!"
"Dragon players?! Are there any active Dragon players in the Premier League?"
"Yes, there is.......But that was a few years ago. Manchester City's full-back Sun Jihai and Charlton's midfielder Zheng Zhi"
"There is a shortage of football talent in Dragon Country, and now there are few people active in the Premier League!"
"I just found out that Dragon Country is ranked outside the top 80 in the FIFA rankings! Can they have any good players?!"
"But I heard.....He has performed very well in the Victoria Trial Camp! Many teams are vying to sign him!"
"The Victoria Trial Camp is an internal selection competition. There are no photos or videos. Who knows how he performs? Maybe it's all exaggerated by the media!"
For most fans, only players introduced with high transfer fees can arouse their adrenaline!
Walker, the striker who scored against Derby County
, was the powerful striker introduced from Stuttgart in the Bundesliga this summer at a cost of 10 million euros!
For a wealthy team, a striker introduced at 10 million euros is not worth mentioning at all.
Even the competition for the bench is questionable!
But for the mid- and lower-level Premier League teams, spending 10 million euros to introduce a player is definitely a big deal!
After all, for some small and medium-sized clubs, it is normal to have only about 20 to 30 million euros in transfer funds during a transfer period.
And the goal just now has proved that Derby County spent 10 million euros very much. Worth it!
In comparison, which is better, a player who spent 10 million euros to introduce or a young player who signed for free?
I believe that most fans will subconsciously choose the former!
Therefore, Ling Feng's appearance did not arouse any hope for Leicester City fans.
On the contrary, it made many fans lament.
At this time, some fans have even made the best plan!
Even if the game loses 0:1, it is what the team deserves.
After all, there was no big move in the transfer market in the summer, and the team's strength has not increased.
Losing is also inevitable!
Now the time on the field has come to more than 60 minutes in the second half.
There is less than half an hour left.
If the dull offensive situation on the field continues,
Leicester City's hope of equalizing the score can be said to be slim!
""Do a good job! Ling Feng!"
After Ling Feng came on the field, he passed by Vardy.
As the captain of the team, Vardy wanted to encourage him.
"Play like you normally would in training matches!"
Facing Vardy, Ling Feng only said this and returned to���His position in the midfield.
Vardy was stunned, but then nodded.
The second half of the game started again!
Almost the same as what the Leicester City fans thought.
Ling Feng did not have any outstanding performance after he came on the court.
What disappointed the fans even more was that
Ling Feng had been on the court for two or three minutes.
He had not even touched the ball once! Even if his level was bad, he would not dare to touch the ball, right?!
For a moment, everyone in the stands of Leicester City fans shook their heads and sighed!
In the eyes of everyone, the defeat in today's game seemed inevitable!
