The new season is coming, and the new season is coming.

Chapter 334: Sink the Yellow Submarine, the Old Trafford team!

With the end of the major award ceremonies at the end of the season, Leicester City also ushered in the last obstacle in the Europa League final.

That is the La Liga powerhouse “Yellow Submarine” Villarreal!

Villarreal has performed very well in both La Liga and the Europa League this season.

Although the league’s offensive firepower is average, the defense is very good, second only to the three giants in the Western Super League.

In the Europa League, it brought many surprises to the fans and the public.

The team unexpectedly defeated Napoli, the runner-up of the last Europa League, shut out the Bundesliga powerhouse Leverkusen, and completely defeated Sparta Prague. They have shown strong momentum along the way.

And there are also some familiar faces in this team.

For example, winger Castillejo, midfielder Dani Suarez, central defenders Bailly and Musacchio, and forward Soldado.

It is worth mentioning that Bailly attracted the attention of Manchester United with his outstanding performance on the defensive end this season, and was selected by Mourinho in the summer window!

And Soldado, who was still in Tottenham last season, has a second spring after returning to the familiar La Liga.

Although there are still not many goals, he has become the assist king in the team with his experience and positioning.

And his striker partner, future Guoan star Bakambu, is the biggest beneficiary.

He played eleven times in the Europa League and scored nine goals, with amazing efficiency!

He is also the player with the most goals among the four teams that have reached the Europa League semi-finals, and is expected to compete for the Europa League Golden Boot.

In comparison, Leicester City did not score many goals in the Europa League.

And due to the frequent rotation of the lineup, the team’s most goals in the Europa League were scored by substitute striker Ulloa!

Most of the Argentine’s appearances this season were in cup games, including the FA Cup, League Cup, and Europa League, scoring a total of ten goals!

Five of them were in the Europa League!

After Ulloa, it was Ling Feng who scored four goals.

Due to the favorable schedule of playing away first and then at home, and the fact that the league had already won the championship in advance, Ranieri directly arranged the strongest lineup, trying to end the suspense of the two-round game away from home!

On the plane to Spain, Ling Feng also took the opportunity to open the [Character Panel] and checked the wave of system rewards he had just received.

After completing the three achievements of [PFA Young Player of the Year], [PFA Team of the Year], and [England FWA Footballer of the Year], Ling Feng suddenly received six free attribute points.

Add to that the three points of [Premier League Player of the Year], and he suddenly received as many as nine free attribute points!

The achievement of [PFA Player of the Year] gave him another player skill treasure chest.

However, considering that his skills of [Horse Stepping on Meteor] and [King of the Outer Instep] have not been fully mastered, adding another skill is just a waste of time.

Therefore, Ling Feng did not open the box immediately, but planned to wait until the end of the season before making a decision.

He also has his own ideas on how to add nine free attribute points.

At present, he has no major shortcomings in terms of physical, technical, and even mental aspects.

However, as he continues to show phenomenal performance this season, opponents will only try to limit him in every possible way.

In the Champions League, the opponents and defensive intensity he faces will only be stronger.

He must protect the ball under the opponent’s close pressure before he can proceed to the next step.

Therefore, he first added four points to the [Ball Protection] attribute, which increased it from 82 to 86!

Then, considering that he will transfer to a top club next season, and considering the tacit understanding and running-in of his teammates, he may have to shoulder a greater offensive task.

In addition to feeding his teammates, he also has to score more goals.

What’s more, in order to hit the Golden Ball Award, scoring is an indispensable selection criterion.

To score more goals, it is necessary to strengthen the finishing ability!

At present, he often does not break into the penalty area, but pushes low shots at the top of the penalty area, or fires long-range shots from 30 meters away.

And at 30 meters away, with the blessing of [God of War Heavy Cannon], his shooting power can be instantly increased to 99.

Although the ball speed is there, the shooting accuracy is still a bit poor.

Therefore, he added the remaining five points to [Long Shot], making it from 8

0 increased to 85!

As Ling Feng looked at the colorful clouds outside the window, he couldn’t help but feel in a good mood:

Villarreal, let me use you to test my skills!

. . .

“The ball went in!”

“Zero to one!”

“Jamie Vardy took the lead to help Leicester City take the lead!”

In the Love Song Stadium that can accommodate 22,000 fans, there were only cheers from the visiting fans.

The new Premier League champion Leicester City showed the demeanor of a king right from the start.

After defeating the Premier League giants Manchester United and the Bundesliga giants Dortmund, the Blue Foxes have built up great self-confidence.

They even took the initiative to control the ball and launch an attack.

And Ling Feng showed the delicate skills that only Spanish players have!

In the 13th minute of the first half, with Ling Feng’s horizontal dribbling, he avoided the Villarreal midfielder Thomas Pina’s grab and suddenly sent a surgical pass.

Vardy, who understood the situation, successfully countered the offside and faced the goalkeeper alone.

Vardy, who has scored more than 30 goals in all competitions this season, did not miss the opportunity. With a low shot, he penetrated the ten fingers of Villarreal’s Asenjo.

Leicester City took the lead in getting a dream start!

However, Villarreal was not too surprised, but used tough defense to adapt to Leicester City’s tactical play.

With the cheers of the home fans, they quickly gained a foothold and put pressure on the Blue Foxes through active pressing.

The Blue Foxes, who played away, were not in a hurry after taking the lead.

Under Ling Feng’s command, they just controlled the ball at their feet and lured the opponent’s formation to press forward, thus exposing the space behind them.

Under constant temptation, the entire formation of the Yellow Submarine slowly moved forward, giving Ling Feng

However, just when the Blue Fox fans thought that Ling Feng’s ghostly pass could easily penetrate the entire Yellow Submarine defense line, one person repeatedly stood up:

That was Eric Bailly, the main central defender of the Yellow Submarine!

Bailly’s performance on the defensive line was eye-catching.

The Ivorian international player does not look very strong, but his defensive positioning and awareness of grabbing are excellent.

After seeing Ling Feng’s passing skills, he also appeared on the passing route many times, grabbing and intercepting Ling Feng’s pass to Vardy.

Moreover, due to his excellent physical fitness and flexibility, his turning and returning defense speed are visibly fast.

And what Vardy fears most is this kind of central defender with a relatively light body but strong core strength.

Except for the offside in the first half, Vardy couldn’t get too much advantage in front of him.

Even though Vardy was closely followed by Bailly, he still created many long-range shooting opportunities for Ling Feng through active running and pulling in the frontcourt.

In the first half, Leicester City repeatedly threatened the goal guarded by Asenho through Ling Feng’s long-range shots and passing and cutting.

But Ling Feng’s foot feeling was average today, and the angle of his long-range shots was still too straight.

Even though Asenho’s hands were numb from his pounce, he grinned secretly. But in the end, he failed to penetrate Villarreal’s goal for the second time.

However, when the game came to the second half, Leicester City continued to firmly control the ball and let Huang Qian grab it.

Even if Huang Qian could occasionally steal the ball, their offensive ability was worrying. The combination of Soldado and Bakambu could not get past Kante in the midfield.

This made Huang Qian basically suppressed and passively defended throughout the whole process.

And everyone knows that if you defend for a long time, you will lose!

When the game came to the 68th minute, Ling Feng and Mahrez played a wonderful wall-to-wall match on the right, and then Ling Feng held the ball and pretended to break through, but knocked it back with his heel.

Mahrez, who moved horizontally, flicked the ball with his left foot and shot!

The inside of his left foot made a perfect arc and went straight to the far corner of the goal!

And this was the last goal of the game.

In the end, the Blue Foxes, who came from afar, sank the Yellow Submarine with two goals away from home!

In this game, Leicester City showed a higher level of strength, which made many Spanish media who shouted before the game “Let the English see the power of Spanish football” and “Teach the Premier League champion a good lesson” speechless.

Until this time, they really understood why Leicester City was able to break through among the major Premier League giants and strong teams and win the Premier League championship five rounds in advance.

This team should not be underestimated!

With the advantage on the field and two away goals in hand, the British media unanimously believed that Leicester City had already stepped half a foot into the final of St. Jakob Park!

. . .

After easily defeating Villarreal in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final, Leicester City returned to the country and also ushered in the 36th round of the league.

And

Their opponent is the Red Devils Manchester United, who have met many times this season!

According to multiple media reports, Manchester United has reached an agreement with Mourinho and will take over as Manchester United’s head coach next season.

Even if he is stuck in the quagmire of the top four, even if he knows that his time at Old Trafford is running out.

However, he still hopes to lead the team to play the next few games well.

Then try to leave his own mark in this club with the greatest influence in the world!

As for Leicester City, considering that they have already won the championship, and they have to prepare for the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals.

Therefore, Ranieri also made a large-scale rotation, allowing many substitute players to get the chance to start.

According to the tradition of English football, if a Premier League team wins the championship in advance, the home team should line up to welcome the champion team before the remaining games.

Therefore, when entering the stadium, the entire Manchester United team will line up on both sides of the entrance and applaud to welcome the Leicester City players.

Since the two teams are not mortal enemies, most Manchester United players applauded very politely.

However, many Manchester United players also clapped mechanically, with absent-mindedness written all over their faces.

It is worth mentioning that it is not the first time for Manchester United to line up at Old Trafford to welcome the Premier League champion.

According to former Red Devils captain Gary Neville, an incident in the 2004-05 season left a deep impression on him.

At that time, after Mourinho took over Chelsea, Abramovich’s team rose rapidly.

That season, the Blues won the championship in advance after defeating Bolton away in the 36th round.

The battle between Manchester United and Chelsea at home was originally in the 33rd round.

But it was postponed for some reason and postponed to the penultimate round of the season.

This also made it possible for Chelsea to visit Old Trafford after winning the championship and accept the etiquette of Manchester United players lining up to welcome them.

Although Ferguson, the then Manchester United coach, was very unhappy about it, he did not think it was a shame. Instead, he was very active in organizing players to line up to welcome the champion.

Because this is a very unforgettable championship education course, which allows players to personally feel the pain of losing the Premier League championship!

According to Neville’s recollection, Ferguson’s idea is to inspire the players’ fighting spirit.

Witnessing the team that snatched the championship from you, coming to your home court, you have to line up to applaud them.

Such a shame will inspire you to desire victory and desire to change such a situation!

Sure enough, Ferguson’s trick worked.

It was this championship education that made Manchester United players full of desire for the championship. Two years later, they finally reached the top of the Premier League again and completed the Premier League three consecutive championships!

However, this time is not the same as that time.

Manchester United now no longer has Ferguson’s “hair dryer” in their ears.

The team no longer has ambitious players with full spiritual attributes such as Ronaldo, Roy Keane, Giggs, Scholes, etc. Instead, they are replaced by a young generation who can’t stand the pressure, such as Martial, Lingard, Rashford, Smalling, etc.

However, as a world-famous coach, Van Gaal is still worthy of recognition in terms of management level.

He also thinks that lining up at home to welcome the new champion is also a good means of motivation.

Especially this champion is Leicester City, which has defeated them three times this season.

So in the locker room before the game, an order was also issued that everyone must applaud, and they are not allowed to leave the queue before all Leicester City players enter the stadium!

The purpose of doing this is the same as Ferguson.

However, the effect is a matter of opinion.

At least after the start of the game, Manchester United, who played at home and had all the main players, immediately showed a good competitive state.

Under Van Gaal’s increasingly skilled “big circle tactics”, Manchester United firmly controlled the ball and then organized the attack slowly.

The Blue Foxes, who were all substitutes, also focused on defensive counterattacks.

However, without Ling Feng, Vardy, and Mahrez, the quality of the Blue Foxes’ counterattack was outrageous.

It was no different from a mid-to-lower-level team!

However, the offensive end was not of high quality, but the entire defensive system was still very solid.

Manchester United attacked, the Foxes defended, and the whole game was so dull that it made people want to sleep.

Ling Feng, who was sitting on the bench, looked at the offensive quality of Manchester United and shook his head helplessly.

If I really want to transfer to Manchester United, it will be a huge challenge

Until the 85th minute of the game, when everyone thought that this game would be a dull draw, Manchester United’s offensive finally paid off!

However, it was not based on collective cooperation, but on a flash of individual inspiration!

Martial

He got the ball on the left, played a pass and cut with Mata in the middle, and then got a chance to face the full-back one-on-one.

This “new Henry” looked like someone owed him millions of dollars. He dribbled the ball directly, and with a fake dribble, he passed the Foxes’ right-back De Wright.

Then, he rushed into the penalty area and shot directly into the far corner.

Although Schwarzer made a save, it was too late.

In this way, Manchester United scored the only goal of the game with Martial’s talent as a European golden boy, defeated Leicester City, and won the precious three points in the league’s top four!
