The new season is coming.

Chapter 58 Aircraft carriers are coming, but it’s just a young version

Winning the February Player of the Month award in the English Championship proves that Ling Feng’s strength has been recognized by the English Championship and the fans.

Ling Feng’s outstanding performance has also attracted many new fans and more attention to Leicester City.

The day after winning the award, The Times published a special report, which made a detailed analysis of this rising English star.

First, The Times took out Ling Feng’s game data and blew it:

Nine appearances in the English Championship, two substitutes, seven starts, three goals and nine assists.

Three appearances in the FA Cup, one substitute and two starts, and an amazing seven assists!

The average pass success rate is 92%, ranking first in the league!

Average three threatening passes per game, ranking first in the league!

The average assist efficiency per game reached a terrifying 1.3!

And set a new record of English Championship players who delivered assists in six consecutive league games!

In addition to the diverse and very accurate passing techniques, Ling Feng also has many advantages such as strong ability to read the game, not sticking to the ball, strong desire to advance, erratic running without the ball, etc.

Of course, as the oldest, most influential and most professional newspaper in England, the Times did not blindly praise it.

After analyzing Ling Feng’s many advantages, the second half of the report pointed out Ling Feng’s various shortcomings:

“Poor confrontation ability, easy to get lost in the high-intensity rhythm and confrontation of the Premier League.”

“His dribbling skills are average. As a midfielder, his footwork is not good. In the Premier League where the pressure is more fierce, his ball protection and ball control will definitely be exploited by opponents.”

“His shooting ability is average. As the core of the team’s midfield, if he can improve his shooting skills and try to shoot more, he will be more threatening.”

The Times’ original intention of publishing this report is to let the public know more about Ling Feng, a young star who won the Championship Player of the Month less than two months after his debut and is a hot star in the Championship.

At the same time, it also reminds Leicester City Club and Ling Feng himself not to be deceived by the media’s excessive hype and be satisfied with the status quo.

However, Pearson, who saw this report, just smiled and didn’t care at all.

Because he knew that even though the media had been praising him since his debut, Ling Feng had never stopped improving!

When Ling Feng saw this report, he first felt happy after seeing the newspaper praising him.

Then, he kept his shortcomings in mind.

After two months of adaptation, he could already deal with the back midfielders in the English Championship.

When he got the ball with his back to the goal, he could often get rid of it by passing the ball back in the midfield, and then turn to face the goal and pass a threatening ball.

Thanks to the overall strength and tactical system of Leicester City, he was able to thrive in the English Championship and achieve phenomenal personal data.

Ling Feng certainly did not think that he was invincible and reached the level of Messi and Ronaldo.

Instead, he had a strong sense of crisis.

Because once he arrived in the Premier League, the opponents he would face would be much stronger than the players in the English Championship!

If he was just complacent with his achievements and did not work hard to improve, he would not be able to adapt to the intensity and rhythm of the Premier League after he arrived in the Premier League!

It is foreseeable that as the core of the midfield, he will face more fierce pressing.

And his first task is to protect the ball first!

Especially when holding the ball with his back to the goal, he must never let the opponent snatch the ball from his feet and launch a fast break!

Therefore, he must enhance his physical confrontation ability through training as soon as possible, and practice stopping the ball and protecting the ball at his feet to cope with the Premier League in half a year!

Ling Feng is very grateful for this special report of The Times. In addition to pointing out his shortcomings, it also increased his fans by tens of thousands.

So, he became a subscriber of The Times without hesitation.

However, except for a very few people, no one would know that this report was planned by Mendes!

The purpose is simple.

Increase Ling Feng’s fame and popularity, and make him a representative of the younger generation of players in England!

As an agent, he not only needs to plan the career of his player clients, handle the renewal and transfer of his player clients with the club, but also help the players earn more income off the court.

After all, the more famous the player clients are, the more they have to earn.

The higher the commercial endorsement fee, the more commission the agent will receive.

. . .

The next day.

International Women’s Day.

It is also the day of the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Leicester City, the top team in the English Championship, will play at home against Sheffield United, a team in English League One!

In the home team’s locker room on the eve of the game.

“Okay, guys, cheer up!”

“Don’t underestimate Sheffield United just because they are a team in English League One!”

“If we relax, they also have the ability to score goals!”

It is worth mentioning that Sheffield United has a player that Ling Feng is very familiar with.

“Their set-piece attack is very threatening, especially their main central defender Harry Maguire, who is 1.94 meters tall and has a strong header ability”

Next to the tactical board, head coach Pearson emphasized the threat of the opponent’s main central defender with a serious face.

And the players of Leicester City listened carefully.

Except for one person.

Sitting in the corner, Ling Feng tried not to raise his mouth so obviously.

That’s right, the player in Sheffield United that Ling Feng was very familiar with was Harry Maguire, the “aircraft carrier” and “big head” who would become the captain of Manchester United, the main central defender of the national team, and one of the kings of football memes in the future!

Ling Feng almost fainted as various famous scenes of Maguire emerged in his mind.

And at this moment, a shout woke him up from his memories:

“Ling!”

Being suddenly called, Ling Feng was stunned at first, and then he reacted quickly.

“Coach, what instructions?”

Pearson didn’t care about his distraction, just pointed at the tactical board and said:

“When attacking, you should play fewer long passes. Maguire’s frontal defense ability is very strong, but his turning speed is slow. You can make more ground passes so that Jamie can use his speed to attack behind him.”

Hearing this, Ling Feng calmed down his inner fluctuations a little and nodded: “I understand.”

Nodding, Pearson continued:

“From the first second of the game, we will suppress them in the half court. Try not to foul in the midfield and don’t give them the opportunity to set the ball.”

After emphasizing the tactical arrangement, the broadcast in the locker room sounded a reminder that the game was about to end.

“Okay, guys, let’s win this game!”

Leaving the locker room and coming to the player’s tunnel, Ling Feng’s eyes were immediately attracted by a person.

To be precise, he was attracted by a big head.

Maguire, tall and wearing a red and white sword-striped jersey, stood among the Sheffield United players.

That head, which was bigger than the others, was as dazzling as a firefly in the dark.

As if sensing someone’s perverted gaze, Maguire turned his head and happened to meet Ling Feng’s eyes!
