The first time, the second time.
Chapter 1 FA Cup debut, super through ball! [New book, please collect! ]
January 4, 2014.
England, Trent River.
Stoke.
The Britannia Stadium, which can accommodate 28,000 spectators, is already filled with the loud singing of Stoke City fans.
This is the third round of the English FA Cup.
And the game time has reached 75 minutes.
The score is still 1:0, and the home team Stoke City is one goal ahead of the visiting team Leicester City.
At this time, Leicester City is still fighting in the English Championship, and the team’s strength is still significantly different from the Premier League team Stoke City.
Therefore, the situation on the field was basically that Stoke City pressed Leicester City in the half and bombarded it wildly.
The difficult situation on the field made the coaching staff headed by Leicester City head coach Nigel Pearson and the players on the bench all look serious.
On the bench of the visiting team Leicester City, a handsome black-haired young man was concentrating on the field, and he didn’t forget to whisper in Chinese that no one could understand:
“There is space, you can pass it straight!”
“Oh, the pass is too slow, there is no lethality at all.”
“Why is Nugent so bad, hurry up and get off the field. If I come on, I will definitely be able to play a wonderful cooperation with Vardy.”
The other substitutes of Leicester City would never have thought that their teammate would actually sit on the bench and give instructions frantically, as if he could change the situation immediately if he came on the field.
After 24 rounds of the English Championship, Leicester City is at the top of the list and has a good chance of winning the English Championship this year and being promoted to the Premier League.
And three days ago, the main players of the team just played a league game.
Considering the physical fitness of the main players and the importance of the event, Leicester City coach Nigel Pearson whispered to assistant coach Steve Walsh and decided to strategically give up this insignificant cup game and focus on the league championship.
Turning his head and looking at the young and eager faces on the bench, coach Pearson’s eyes paused on the black-haired young man, and immediately his relevant information emerged:
Ling Feng, an English Chinese, 18 years old, a midfielder of Leicester City U21 youth team.
This young man has solid basic skills, which are basically above the average level of the youth team.
What the youth team coaches praised most is his diligence!
In addition to completing the team’s daily training, he will also do extra training in various individual items by himself.
However, his talent is limited to this.
As a midfielder, his vision is average and he can’t make a penetrating and fatal pass; he doesn’t have excellent dribbling ability, so he can’t dribble past the defense.
He doesn’t have strong physical confrontation and defense, and he doesn’t have excellent running position and long-range shooting ability.
The only thing worth praising is his abundant physical strength and the ability to run all over the field.
In short, this is a young man with mediocre talent and no outstanding characteristics, but he tries to close the distance with geniuses with hard work.
In the field of sports competition, no matter which coach, they like hardworking players.
Pearson is no exception.
Therefore, in order to reward his hard work in training and to allow the main players to rotate and rest in this cup match, Pearson decided to put him and another U21 player with excellent training in the 18-man roster against Stoke City.
Since we have chosen to strategically give up this cup match, winning or losing is not important.
Let the young man make his first appearance in the first team!
Thinking of this, he made a decision:
“Jamal!”
“Mahrez!”
“Ling!”
“Get up and warm up!”
Hearing this, a handsome African guy and an old-looking black man on the bench immediately stood up.
The black-haired young man whose name was called was stunned.
“Huh? I actually have a chance to play?!”
No one knows that inside this 18-year-old young body is a soul from ten years later.
Three days ago, Ling Feng in 2024 had a car accident.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back to ten years ago, and he had become a Chinese-British mixed-race, playing for Leicester City U21 youth team, and with the same name and surname as himself!
What he didn’t expect was that there was also a
A green legend system!
Just when he was included in the 18-man squad for the away game against Stoke City, the system awakened and gave Ling Feng a novice treasure chest.
The treasure chest opened a star card of [Peak De Bruyne], which allowed Ling Feng to obtain an attribute and a talent of Peak De Bruyne.
Ling Feng did not expect that he had just obtained the plug-in yesterday and had the opportunity to come on the bench today!
“Isn’t this God’s help to me?!”
In an instant, Ling Feng thought of countless scripts of becoming famous with one goal in his mind.
After a moment of shock, he also jumped up from his seat and ran to the sidelines to warm up.
A few minutes later, Ling Feng, who had finished warming up, put on a No. 23 jersey with “LING” printed on the back and stood on the sidelines with his two teammates.
Glancing at the handsome African guy on the right, Ling Feng’s mind suddenly emerged with relevant information:
One of the creators of the Foxes miracle, the first African to win the Premier League MVP, nicknamed “Polo King” Riyad Mahrez!
At this time, Mahrez had just transferred from Le Havre in the French Ligue 2 and had not played for Leicester City yet.
It can be said that this FA Cup match is not only Ling Feng’s professional debut, but also Mahrez’s Leicester City debut!
At this time, perhaps seeing Mahrez rubbing his hands and looking a little nervous, Ling Feng suddenly took the initiative to pat him on the shoulder and smiled:
“Hey, man, welcome to England.”
Turning his head to look at the Asian black-haired guy next to him, Mahrez was stunned at first, and then a ripple appeared in his heart.
This was his first time to play for Leicester City, and the opponent he faced was a Premier League team, so he was a little nervous.
Ling Feng’s smile made him relax a little.
In addition, both of them are mixed-race, and their skin color is closer. Mahrez can’t help but feel a sense of closeness to the black-haired young man who talked to him.
Nodding to Ling Feng, Mahrez replied in not very fluent English: “Thank you.”
Ling Feng smiled and did not forget to high-five with the more familiar U21 teammate, the black midfielder, to encourage each other.
“Come on, Jamal!”
“You too, Ling.”
Seeing this, the head coach Pearson not far away raised his eyebrows.
“This kid, he has the style of a general.”
However, he didn’t know that Ling Feng seemed very calm on the surface, but his heart had already been surging.
Standing next to him was the future Premier League MVP Mahrez, and his ears were filled with the chorus of Stoke City fans and the shouts of the players on the court. Ling Feng was completely infected by the warm atmosphere on the scene.
Even the slight smell of natural grass in his nose made his heart beat faster, and he was excited and excited.
Once upon a time, he imagined himself becoming a professional player, standing on the green field of the five major leagues, and enjoying the cheers of the audience.
Now, he is standing on the stage of the FA Cup with a century of history, playing against the Premier League team!
This is really cool!
The assistant coach on the side pulled the three people and briefly explained the tactics to them.
In short, just go up and play freely!
After waiting for a while on the sidelines, a dead ball finally appeared on the field.
At this time, the referee who had been waiting for a long time picked up the substitution card.
The voice of the commentator on the scene was also broadcast throughout the stadium:
“The time has come to the 80th minute, Leicester City is ready to change three people at once”
“No. 26 Riyad Mahrez replaces No. 35 David Nugent”
“No. 26 Mahrez is the new player that Leicester City just spent 500,000 euros to buy from the French Ligue 2. The two young players, No. 23 and No. 37, are just promoted from the Leicester City youth team.”
“It seems that Leicester City is planning to give up”
Amid the singing of Stoke City fans on the scene, Ling Feng stepped onto the grass of the stadium with his right leg excitedly.
Leicester City’s main lineup is 442.
However, after replacing the main striker Nugent, there was only one forward striker left on the field, that is, the future “Blue Fox Soul” Jamie Vardy!
So, under the command of the head coach, the team changed to 4231, and Ling Feng was the team’s front midfielder.
Mahrez moved to the right winger position, and another black guy who was also promoted from the U21 team moved to the defensive midfielder position.
“Come on, guys, don’t give up!”
Seeing Vardy, who was at the front, raising his arms and cheering for his teammates, Ling Feng suddenly felt as if he was in another world.
In the past, he could only control these real stars in various football games.
But at this moment, he really became a teammate fighting side by side with Vardy and Mahrez on the field!
The high singing of Stoke fans, the voice of the commentator and the shouts of the players on the field were all clearly audible and extremely real.
In an instant, Ling Feng subconsciously clenched his fists, and his expression and eyes became firm and unwavering.
The football dream of the past has now become a reality and is in front of him.
And what he has to do is never let it slip away and firmly grasp this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in his own hands!
Perhaps seeing that Leicester City changed three people at once and the score was leading again, Stoke City also replaced three main players for a rest.
Even so, the stronger Stoke City suppressed Leicester City in the half, trying to score another goal and completely kill the game.
However, under Vardy’s encouragement, the Leicester City players united as one and all retreated to their own half.
Ling Feng was no exception.
Because the defensive formation was too crowded and there was not much space for passing, Stoke City midfielder Charlie Adam could not hold back his inner desire to attack and made a sudden shot at the front of the penalty area.
However, the football burst out, but was blocked by Jamal, the black midfielder who had just come on the field, and bounced up.
Then Leicester City central defender Vasylvsky jumped on the spot and headed the football out of the penalty area with a powerful header.
Seeing the football flying towards him, Ling Feng’s eyes were sharp, and he took a step forward and stopped the ball with his chest, and then stopped the ball steadily at his feet.
Everyone in the Britannia Stadium was attracted.
Looking at the football under his feet, Ling Feng’s mind suddenly popped up several passing options.
The next second, he made a decision:
Counterattack, start now!
I saw the black-haired young man wearing the No. 23 blue jersey gently flicked the football to his right front with his right foot.
Then, without even raising his head or any hesitation, he swung his right leg backwards and pushed forward with the arch of his foot.
He sent the ball through the ground with a deadly scalpel-like pass!
The football quickly flew over the grass, passed through the arc of the center circle, and crossed a distance of 60 meters, passing directly between the only two remaining defenders of Stoke City, and accurately arrived outside the penalty area of Stoke City.
And a blue figure wearing the number 9 rushed over!
It was Leicester City’s forward striker, Jamie Vardy!
Mahrez transferred to Leicester City on January 11.
In order to serve the plot, the author let him appear in advance.
