The ball was thrown into the net, and the ball bounced back.
Chapter 31 Attention from Mendes
The moment the ball flew towards the goal, Torres felt that the ball was a sure thing.
Even the Chelsea fans huddled in a corner of the stadium thought that the ball would definitely go in.
Everyone stood up and was about to cheer.
Unexpectedly, after the ball passed Schmeichel’s left hand, it hit the goal post with a “clang” and bounced out!
Left-back Jeffrey Schlupp, who returned to defense, did not give Chelsea players a chance to make up the shot, and kicked the ball out of the sideline at the first time.
Seeing this, the cheers of thousands of Chelsea fans in the stadium turned into a sigh.
Witnessing that the ball did not go into the goal but bounced off the post, Torres stood there in disbelief.
Even Mourinho on the sidelines couldn’t help but hold his head in his hands.
An inexplicable thought suddenly popped up in his mind:
“If it was Didier (Drogba), this ball would definitely go in.”
In his tactical system, he always needed a center forward who could serve as a fulcrum in the frontcourt, pass the ball with his back, and fight with the opponent’s defender.
Unfortunately, neither Eto’o nor Torres were such a center forward.
The regret and helplessness in his heart were only short-lived.
He immediately calmed down and applauded the players’ quick counterattack, expressing his approval:
“Good shot!”
“Well done!”
“That’s it!!”
Compared to the regrets of Chelsea players and fans, Leicester City players and fans were shocked.
Some older fans in the stands quickly took out quick-acting heart pills and took two to calm down.
Ling Feng, who returned to the front of the back line, looked at Torres and couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up in his heart:
Worthy of being the Blues’ iron guard!
The way he cleared the siege was so thrilling
Although the result of this counterattack was a false alarm,
but just a pass error almost caused a goal.
This shows how sharp Chelsea’s counterattack is!
Ling Feng became more determined in his inner thoughts:
If you want to beat Chelsea at home, you can’t give them a chance to counterattack!
Even though he was a little dissatisfied with the accuracy of Dean Hammond’s pass.
But Ling Feng didn’t complain about his teammates out loud.
After all, as a midfielder, it is normal to try to pass a threatening ball.
It is also normal to make mistakes in passing.
He is not the kind of pressure monster who likes to complain to his teammates.
However, Ling Feng’s silence does not mean that others will not speak out.
Captain Morgan took a few big steps and came to Dean Hammond, saying in a deep voice:
“Dean, your pass just now was too casual!”
“You should give the ball to Ling to organize!”
Facing Morgan’s huge pressure like a dark iron tower, Dean Hammond, who knew he was wrong, did not dare to refute.
Who made him a newcomer who just transferred in, with a low status in the team and little influence.
He just nodded silently and apologized:
“I know, this ball is mine.”
Seeing that he admitted the mistake, Morgan did not say too much nonsense, stretched out his hand and patted the other party on the shoulder, and turned away.
After the kick-off from the sideline, Chelsea’s right winger William passed the ball back to the backcourt, trying to organize another attack.
However, Leicester City is not afraid of positional warfare.
After all, both central defenders are excellent in frontal interception and air defense, and are not afraid of high balls or crosses from the wing.
In the end, there was really no space to pass the ball, and Lampard’s long shot from the outside of the penalty area declared that this attack was unsuccessful.
Next, the court returned to a stalemate of attack and defense.
Leicester City firmly controlled the ball, carefully passing short passes to each other, and not passing directly or long passes easily;
Chelsea retreated all players and pressed from time to time in the frontcourt.
As Leicester City’s number of passes continued to increase, the ball possession rate even soared to 80%!
However, most of the passes were short passes between players, and there were few forward passes or long passes.
Both sides seemed to have an inexplicable tacit understanding, and it seemed that no one intended to break this balanced situation.
As time passed bit by bit, the game became a little dull.
However, Leicester City fans were very happy with their team’s draw with Chelsea at home.
They started
Singing in the stands, and playing human waves
. . .
“Beep~~beep~~~”
With the whistle of Paul Tierney, the first half was declared over!
Mourinho trotted and ran into the player tunnel first.
Pearson was waiting for his players to walk off the court and shook hands with them one by one.
From the smile on his face, it can be seen that he was satisfied with his team’s performance in the first half.
At the same time, in the stands of the Chelsea fans area.
Jorge Mendes, dressed in a black suit, stared at the black-haired young man wearing the No. 23 blue jersey on the field, his eyes thoughtful.
Jorge Mendes, a Portuguese, is one of the most famous agents in today’s football world.
His clients include famous stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Di Maria, Falcao, Pepe, etc., spread across all clubs of all sizes in the five major leagues.
In addition to a large number of stars, he is also the agent of the “madman” Mourinho.
Originally, Mendes appeared at the King Power Stadium to discuss the transfer and signings of this winter window with Mourinho.
But he didn’t expect to find Ling Feng, a pleasant surprise!
Ling Feng attracted his attention with just half a game.
From the sharp eyes of Mendes, a professional football agent, this young man from Leicester City definitely has the potential to become a superstar!
Being young means full of unlimited potential;
Being handsome means that the commercial value will not be low;
Good skills mean the opportunity to join a wealthy club and win competitive honors;
And it is a local English household registration book. Such a potential new star will definitely become a hot commodity for local English agents.
“However, how can those unprofessional guys compare with me?!”
In Mendes’ view, even if Ling Feng has an agent, he will use his reputation and connections to persuade Ling Feng to switch to his own people.
If Ling Feng doesn’t have an agent yet, that’s even better. He’s got a great bargain!
Thinking of this, Mendes raised his eyebrows, took out his phone and dialed a number:
“Hello, Santos, help me investigate a player right now.”
“No. 23 of the English Championship team Leicester City, the name is a bit strange, it’s called Ling. Feng.”
“Investigate who his agent is, as well as his background and contract”
In just less than ten minutes, Mendes obtained all the information about Ling Feng through his powerful intelligence network and connections.
From how old he was when he entered Leicester City’s youth training, to how many people were in his family, contract salary and liquidated damages, etc.
Among them, what excited Mendes the most was naturally the news that Ling Feng had no agent yet!
