Full-Level Pass, Please Call Me The Boss Of The Three Lions

The new season is coming.

Chapter 343 Where will Ling Feng go in the summer transfer drama, season 2!

Lin Huang’s selection is not surprising.

Judging from his performance in the Premier League and European wars this season, he is one of the few bright spots in Manchester United.

Of course, his performance and competitive state in the league are not the fundamental reasons for his selection.

In the current tactical system of the Three Lions, Ling Feng is the absolute tactical core.

Since Ling Feng made his debut for the Three Lions, Hodgson has gradually understood a truth.

That is:

As long as Ling Feng plays comfortably and plays at his normal level, the team’s offense can break through the goal of any team!

Therefore, when he is selecting frontcourt players, he only needs to consider a few questions:

Who can get along with Ling Feng?

Who can create a chemical reaction with Ling Feng on the field?

Who can make Ling Feng play more comfortably?

As Ling Feng’s former teammate in the Blue Foxes, Lingard and Ling Feng definitely have a very good relationship and tacit understanding.

Whether on the field or off the field!

In the previous friendly match, Lingard, who served as the right winger, was also able to play some smooth passes with Ling Feng and Vardy.

Moreover, compared with Sturridge, who needs the ball at his feet to play a role, Lingard is more active in running and defending, and has excellent off-ball running ability.

Being able to respond and attack the second point by running, and not occupying the team’s ball possession, is a good tactical puzzle.

So, this is the real reason why Lingard was selected for the European Cup roster!

It is worth mentioning that on the day when the final European Cup roster was announced, Lingard, who lived in the same dormitory with Ling Feng, also gave Ling Feng a big hug at the first time!

“Ling, I can go to the European Cup!”

Although he was not sure whether he could play at that time.

However, being selected for the European Cup roster was a dream come true for Lingard!

Of course, he also vaguely guessed why he was able to squeeze out Walcott, Wilshere, Lallana and other national team predecessors because of his good relationship with Ling Feng!

After all, his personal performance was really outstanding.

In terms of tactical attributes and strength, he was not the kind of player who could be the core, but an auxiliary player.

However, it was this characteristic that allowed him to catch the last train of the European Cup.

Because the Three Lions did not need him to be the core at all, they only needed him and other players to assist Ling Feng!

Ling Feng initially refused Hodgson’s decision.

However, after thinking about it, he was relieved.

It is better to bring the “little dancing prince” Lin Huang who can liven up the team’s atmosphere than to bring a glass man like Wilshere.

Besides, Lin Huang’s strength is not bad, and his tactical characteristics are distinct. He is a good substitute for the team.

With the announcement of the list, the Three Lions, with an average age of less than 26, became the youngest team among the 24 participating teams in this year’s European Cup in France!

Therefore, after the announcement of England’s European Cup list, the media also used titles such as “Youth Storm” and “Future Expectation” to describe the Three Lions that are about to go to France.

Generally speaking, before every international competition, after the list is announced, the British media will start to praise.

And this time, the media only focused on Ling Feng, Kane, Ali, Rashford and other “Great British Stars”

Because, they also know that this Three Lions is no longer as star-studded as the golden generation.

Therefore, the angle of their praise can only be placed on the young people who have performed explosively this season.

As the core midfielder of the Three Lions, Ling Feng is not optimistic about the prospects of England this time.

Because this Three Lions is synonymous with a lack of successors!

In Ling Feng’s view, the Three Lions are unlikely to win the European Cup.

Although the midfield has the long-established Rooney, Ling Feng who has risen rapidly in recent years, as well as Kane, Sterling, Ali and other British stars.

There are also stars such as Vardy, Henderson, Milner and other players who have risen from the grassroots and are more powerful than famous.

However, the backcourt strength is average, especially in the position of central defender!

After Ferdinand and Terry withdrew from the national team, there is no longer a player who can be called the core of the defense.

This time, Hodgson only brought three central defenders to France, respectively

It is the Blues captain Cahill, Manchester United stalwart Smalling and Everton rising star Stones.

But whether it is Smalling, Cahill, or Stones, their performance in the Premier League this season is not satisfactory.

Originally, Ling Feng also recommended Maguire, his central defender teammate in the U21 national team and the club, to Hodgson.

He believes that although Maguire’s strength is not enough now.

However, in terms of frontal defense and high-altitude balls, “Ma Datou” has no problems at all, and can even play some attacks during set pieces.

However, after careful consideration, Hodgson still did not bring this inexperienced young central defender.

It is precisely because the central defenders are short of manpower.

Therefore, in the friendly match, Hodgson also tried the special tactical formation of 3412 for a time.

The 3412 formation is actually a variant of 352.

Compared with the 352 formation, it is more offensive overall, suitable for the attacking midfielder and central midfielder to make short passes in the middle, or cooperate with the wing midfielder in a small range to complete the attack, and achieve a tactical routine combining the wing and the center.

In this way, two full-time central defenders, plus the fast Walker who temporarily plays as a central defender, play a three-center-back system.

Then let the fast Bertrand and Danny Rose play as a wing midfielder, which can have certain defensive capabilities and can take turns to assist.

The three midfielders are the key to this tactical formation!

Let Ling Feng advance slightly and play the role of a free man in the frontcourt.

Then equip him with a defensive Dale or Henderson behind him, and then match him with Rooney or Ali who can insert a long shot from behind.

In this way, Ling Feng can insert his offensive talent unscrupulously, or pass a threatening ball, or shoot a heavy shot.

Finally, Kane and Vardy, the two super shooters who occupy the top two positions in the Premier League scorer list, form a “one tall and one fast” double striker!

This 3412 formation also showed good results in the previous friendly matches against the Netherlands and Australia.

Although the three central defenders composed of Smalling, Cahill and Walker lack tacit understanding, the backcourt space is large when the opponent counterattacks, and the defense is not too stable.

However, the two full-backs who play as wing forwards have enough speed to chase back and can also become five defenders when defending.

However, compared with the 352 formation, the 3412 formation focuses too much on offense and has a larger space on the wing.

This places very high demands on the two full-backs.

They must press forward to attack, break through and cross the frontcourt; they must also chase back to assist in defense and protect the wing spaces on both sides of the central defenders.

The most important thing is that once this formation is used, the team’s wingers are equivalent to being useless.

Especially Sterling and Rashford, two explosive wingers with average defensive ability, have no place!

For England, which is used to using wingers on both wings, it is a bit difficult to adapt to the sudden change to the middle penetration.

Therefore, this tactical formation can only be used as a plan B for a large-scale attack after falling behind in the score

. . .

The 24 teams of the European Cup submitted the final list to UEFA, and the German transfer market also ranked the value of the 24 teams participating in the European Cup!

The team with the highest value is the “German Tank” Germany, the champion of the last World Cup.

The team is worth 562 million euros, of which five players are worth more than 40 million euros, namely Muller, Kroos, Erdogan, Neuer and Boateng;

The “Matadors” Spanish team ranks second with 558 million euros, and five players are worth more than 40 million euros, namely Busquets, Koke, Fabregas, Pique and Ramos;

The “talent-only” Belgian team ranks fourth with 461 million euros, and only two players are worth more than 40 million euros, namely Hazard and De Bruyne.

The host “Gallic Rooster” France ranks only fifth with 432 million euros, and only two players are worth more than 40 million euros, namely Pogba and Griezmann.

The “Three Lions” England is ranked third with a market value of 530 million euros. There are four players with a market value of more than 40 million euros, namely Ling Feng, Kane, Sterling and Rooney;

The most valuable player in the Three Lions is naturally the “real British star” Ling Feng who has won all the Premier League individual awards this season!

Thanks to his phenomenal performance in the Premier League and the Europa League, coupled with factors such as age and potential, the transfer value of the Blue Fox star has soared from 80 million euros in the winter window to 90 million euros!

Second only to Messi with 120 million euros, Ronaldo with 110 million euros and

Neymar!

Ling Feng, who is worth 90 million euros, is the second most valuable player in this European Cup in France, second only to Ronaldo!

He surpassed Bale, Muller, Lewandowski and other superstars!

Of course, in everyone’s opinion, this is definitely not the peak of his value.

If he performs well in this European Cup, this British star who became the best in the Premier League at the age of 20 is likely to be worth more than 100 million, becoming the fourth player in football with a value of over 100 million!

After the announcement of the European Cup roster, the Three Lions, who are ready to go, ushered in the last warm-up match on the eve of the European Cup.

The opponent is Portugal without Ronaldo!

And the venue is at Wembley Stadium!

This game is a prelude to the European Cup, and it can also be said to be the last opportunity to adjust the starting lineup.

Therefore, Hodgson also sent out the strongest lineup:

The formation is 4231;

The goalkeeper is Joe Hart, and the four defenders are Danny Rose, Cahill, Smalling, and Walker.

The double defensive midfielders are Rooney and Dale.

Three offensive midfielders, Ling Feng in the middle, Sterling and Sturridge on the left and right wingers respectively.

The single striker is Vardy, the Premier League Golden Boot winner!

Among Vardy and Kane, two strikers who have scored more than 30 goals in all competitions this season, Hodgson chose Vardy, who has a better tacit understanding with Ling Feng!

In this game, Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just finished the Champions League final and was still resting, did not enter the game roster.

He just sat in the stands and watched the team lose to the youngest team in the European Cup with a score of 2-0 at Wembley Stadium.

After the game, Luo Ge, dressed casually, took the initiative to come to the player channel and greeted Ling Feng, who had just finished an interview.

After shaking hands and hugging, Luo Ge seemed very enthusiastic: “Hey, man, long time no see! Congratulations on winning the Premier League and Europa League titles.”

Hearing this, Ling Feng also smiled back and then joked: “How about I trade you the Premier League and Europa League titles for a Champions League title?”

“Hahaha, forget it. I have three Premier League titles, you should keep that one for yourself.”

As soon as the voice fell, seeing Luo Ge’s eyebrows raised and his smug look, Ling Feng also showed a helpless look on his face.

Damn, he was pretending

The two just exchanged a few words between friends, but they didn’t expect that this scene was filmed by someone with a heart

The next day.

The famous gossip newspaper “The Sun” suddenly revealed the big news that Leicester City and Ling Feng’s contract renewal negotiations had reached a deadlock!

According to people familiar with the matter, after Leicester City won the championship ahead of schedule in mid-April, the club proposed a new contract to Ling Feng.

At that time, as Ling Feng’s agent, Mendes went to the club to negotiate a contract renewal with director Rudkin.

It was originally thought that the two sides would reach an agreement soon and make an official announcement.

However, what people did not expect was that the contract renewal negotiations between the two sides continued until the end of the season, and the progress was still stagnant!

Once the news of The Sun was released, it immediately became the focus of public attention.

Subsequently, other media also followed up with reports, confirming the credibility of this report.

The team’s star player and the club’s contract renewal progress was slow, and the most anxious were naturally the Blue Fox fans.

They believed that Ling Feng made an indelible and important contribution in helping the team win the season’s treble and was the team’s most important player.

Regardless of the renewal conditions, they should make every effort to keep this Blue Fox darling!

The public relations department of Leicester City Club also responded quickly and immediately issued a statement to clarify:

The report of The Sun is false!

Ling Feng is not for sale!

The team is also actively negotiating a contract renewal with Ling Feng, and the progress is smooth!

Facing Leicester City’s counterattack, The Sun was not to be outdone and continued to expose the news!

First, it used a photo of Ling Feng chatting and laughing with Ronaldo in the player tunnel after the game as the cover of the newspaper, and then wrote an article claiming that Ronaldo took the initiative to invite Ling Feng to join Real Madrid.

And Ling Feng also nodded in agreement, and seemed very excited about the future of becoming teammates with Ronaldo.

Subsequently, media newspapers such as The Times, Daily Mail, Independent, Daily Telegraph, AS, and Marca all reported on the news that major teams had privately contacted Ling Feng.

Paris, Bayern, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Juventus and other famous European giants are all associated with Ling Feng’s name.

For a time, Ling Feng’s whereabouts became the focus of attention of British football and many fans.

The second season of the summer transfer drama, Where is Ling Feng going, has also officially kicked off!
