Chapter 307 Oh no, Ling Feng is warming up!

"Final, here we come!"

This is the front page headline of Leicester City's local newspaper "Leicester Mercury" on the eve of the second leg of the English League Cup semi-finals in the 2015-16 season.

The cover is a frozen photo of the Blue Fox players coming to the sidelines to hug Ranieri after scoring in the first round.

In the first round match between Leicester City and Everton, the Blue Fox unexpectedly brought out its main lineup and beat Everton 0-2 in the away game.

Returning to the King Power Stadium in the second round, the Blue Foxes, who have the home court and score advantage, chose to let the Blue Foxes take turns to prepare for the next battle against Liverpool.

In Ranieri's view, with the team's mature defensive counterattack tactical system and home games, even if the opponent is not weak, they can still maintain a tie and win.

Most people also believe that Leicester City can withstand Everton's counterattack at home and reach the League Cup final for the first time in team history!
However, the direction of the game was beyond everyone's expectations!
Compared with the main lineup that is indiscriminately killing in the Premier League, the Blue Fox's substitute strength is still average.

Especially since there are no core players on the court as the backbone, the team's tactical system cannot be fully utilized.

On the contrary, this is a last-ditch battle for Everton.

If they really want to attack with all their strength, the Blue Fox substitute lineup will not be able to withstand it.

Moreover, with the defensive performance continuing to decline this season, the team's tactical concept of giving up defense and attacking with all its strength has only succeeded in unleashing the team's strong offensive firepower.

He still hopes to let the substitute lineup play as much as possible to find a better game state.

After recovering a goal, Everton's morale was even higher. They also realized that they could equalize the score or even take the lead, so they attacked more vigorously.

Such an outstanding performance also attracted the attention of many wealthy families.

During the halftime break, Ranieri briefly thought about making substitutions, but after thinking about it, he ultimately did not do so.

At the same time, they also realize that the team's lineup depth is still far behind the real Premier League giants.

With the team's huge lead in the league, the main players of the team, led by Ling Feng, will definitely focus on the Europa League and strive to go further in the Europa League.

Local genius Ross Barkley, Belgian international Miralas, Barcelona emperor Deulofeu, former Tottenham wing Lennon, and the star "Little Warcraft" Lukaku.

This routine is too obvious.

Leicester City could only retreat to half court, compressing the space as much as possible, trying to use counterattacks to kill the game.

However, despite the team's poor record this season, the defense is vulnerable.

And such active running quickly paid off:
In the 22nd minute of the first half, he caught the ball in the right rib of the frontcourt and turned around. Then he made a Belgian soup, entered the penalty area, carried Polish central defender Walewski, and scored the goal!

"The goal was scored by the Belgian genius Romelu Lukaku!"

He seemed to have completely forgotten about being beaten 2-0 by Ling Feng in the first round.

"The top team in the Premier League? It's not worth mentioning in front of Inzaghi of Belgium!"

Whether they can keep pace with the exhaustion of the Premier League and Europa League and maintain the lead until the end, the state of the substitute lineup is very critical.

"The ball is in!"

It was as if he had summoned a real monster, turning Leicester City's backcourt upside down.

However, as the sharpest counterattack in the team's offensive system, Lukaku has experienced a data explosion this season:
Not only did he score 5 goals in the league, second only to Vardy and rank second in the scorer list, he also became one of the only five players in Premier League history to score 23 Premier League goals before the age of .

In the few counterattack opportunities they had, they could only split the ball to the sides immediately, advance with the ball through the wingers, and pass directly to Ulloa and Okazaki Shinji in the center.

Even though they are now beating the BIG6 teams and are firmly at the top of the league standings
As the saying goes, if you keep it for a long time, you will lose it.

Despite Everton's bombardment, they still survived the first half.

However, in view of the experience of joining a wealthy club last time, the 22-year-old Little Warcraft does not intend to leave Everton so soon.
Looking at the excited Lukaku, Ling Feng, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help but murmur in his heart:
"This guy is in pretty good shape for this game."

Of course, considering that the scene was completely suppressed, Ranieri still had a choice after discussing with his assistants:
If the team is still suppressed by the opponent when the game reaches the 70th minute, Ling Feng must be replaced and let him stabilize the situation!
However, in the second half, the situation on the field did not change in any way.

And in this game, the Belgian striker who had been abandoned by Chelsea finally broke out!
Whether he is holding the ball behind his back or breaking through from the wing, he can be seen everywhere in the frontcourt.

Under Everton's aggressive offense, Leicester City's defensive formation was eventually captured:

Under the slightly excited narration of the commentator, Lukaku, who scored the goal, rushed directly to the corner flag area, opened his arms, and accepted the cheers of the fans.

"Can it be said that we will witness a reversal?!"

The substitute lineup will get more playing time in the league.

Under the ebb and flow of one another, Everton players burst out with amazing fighting spirit and energy.

"Toffees No. 10 was very active from the first minute of the game. His running in the frontcourt and taking the ball were full of threats."

You know, Everton has a lot of good offensive players.

This also resulted in a world of difference compared to the quality of Ling Feng's counterattack when he was on the court!
Fortunately, the team's defense still did a good job.

However, neither Andy King nor Inle are the kind of midfielders who can create opportunities or carry the ball forward to initiate counterattacks.

"Everton pulled a goal back away from home!"

If they fail to win by more than three goals, they will miss the opportunity to reach the cup final for the first time in many years.

That dark young face couldn't help but reveal a confident smile:

The hero of the goal was Lukaku, who was in great form in this game!
In the 68th minute of the game, Lukaku, who was pulling wide, made an unreasonable move on the wing. After passing the full-back, he sent an inverted triangle cross.

Everton is still suppressing Leicester City and it's a crazy friction!
Seeing the substitute lineup being messed up by Everton's main players on the field, the Blue Fox fans in the stands were also frightened.

The other four players are Fowler, Owen, Rooney, and Ronaldo!
In the League Cup, he also scored five goals, helping the team reach the League Cup semi-finals.

Ross Barkley, who came in from behind, blasted a shot from the front of the penalty area and sent the ball into the gate guarded by Schwarzer!
After scoring the goal, Barkley rushed directly to the corner flag area and performed an extremely exciting slide and kneel.

Lukaku, who assisted, rushed to his side immediately and hugged him tightly.

The visiting fans who followed the team on the trip were already cheering in the stands.

The fans of the home team showed helpless expressions.

This game once again proved a fact.

That is: there are no underdogs in the Premier League!
What's more, "Toffee" Everton has been a powerful team that cannot be ignored in the Premier League for more than ten years!

"Wow!"

"Ross~~Barkley! What a beautiful goal!"

"Everton equalized the total score at the King Power Stadium!" "If this score is maintained until the final whistle blows, the two sides will enter overtime."

"However, judging from the state of Everton's players, they are definitely not satisfied with a draw."

When Everton equalized the total score in the away game, the camera first focused on the Everton players who rushed to the visiting team's stands to celebrate wildly.

Then, the camera also showed Everton coach Martinez on the sidelines.

However, a second ago, Martinez was still applauding with a smile on his face.

The next second, he turned around and saw something, but suddenly stopped what he was doing, frowned, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Huh? Why does Martinez look dissatisfied? Or does he think it's just an equalizer and it's not the time to celebrate?"

At this time, the on-site director who was reminded directly pointed the camera at the home team's bench not far away.

I saw Blue Fox coach Ranieri coming to the bench and gesticulating to the players on the bench.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Feng, who was sitting on the bench, took off his coat and stood up from the bench.

The next second, the entire King Power Stadium erupted into deafening cheers, overwhelming the Everton fans.

The live broadcast camera focused on Ling Feng, who came to the sideline to warm up, and then focused on Martinez, who was frowning.

The language of the lens is self-evident.

Until this moment, all the fans and fans in front of the TV suddenly understood.

Why did Martinez look so ugly after his team scored to equalize the score?

It turned out that he saw Ling Feng warming up!

"oh!

"Ling Feng is starting to warm up! The fox finally reacted and is ready to use their big killer weapon!"

While letting Ling Feng warm up, Ranieri also called the captain Andy King to the sidelines and told him:
"Let Okazaki and Ulloa return to the midfield to help defend, and everyone runs!"

Seeing Ling Feng starting to warm up on the sidelines, the Everton players also felt nervous. They couldn't help but recall the scene where Ling Feng ravaged them during the two matches between the two sides this season.

Ever since, it seemed that in order to score another goal and establish a lead before Ling Feng came on the court, Everton continued to attack like crazy after scoring.

Fortunately, the Blue Fox generals, who received instructions from the head coach, retreated to half court and fully defended.

Five minutes later, Leicester City kicked the ball out of the sideline and finally got the chance to make a substitution!
Seeing Ling Feng standing on the sidelines, the King Power Stadium suddenly burst into warm cheers and applause.

The fans also spontaneously shouted his name:

"Ling Feng! Ling Feng! Ling Feng!"

In their eyes, the black young man wearing the No. 7 jersey is the savior of the team!
Many Blue Fox fans who witnessed Ling Feng couldn't help but recall Ling Feng.

However, at that time, Ling Feng, wearing No. 23, was a young player who had just been promoted from the youth team.

At this time, Ling Feng, wearing No. 7, is already the biggest favorite for the Premier League MVP!
They firmly believe that as long as Ling Feng appears, everything will be fine!
"Leicester City is making substitution adjustments! No. 23 Ulloa is off, No. 7 Ling Feng is on!"

Ling Feng's appearance will also have an immediate impact on Leicester City's offensive changes!
Whether they are in possession of the ball or on counterattack, they have someone they can pass the ball to with confidence.

Ling Feng, through his active movement to get the ball and pass the ball, firmly controlled the rhythm of the court on the Blue Fox side.

After helping the team stabilize the situation, Ling Feng began to use his personal abilities to pose a threat to Everton's backcourt!
In the 75th minute of the game, Ling Feng pulled the ball to the side, and then, in the same way Lukaku did in the first half, he passed Everton's left back Baines and sent an inverted triangle cross.

Andy King came in from behind and shot the ball furiously!

Fortunately, American goalkeeper Howard reacted quickly and made a wonderful dive to block the ball out of the baseline.

In the 82nd minute of the game, after Ling Feng dropped back to catch the ball in the midfield, he passed Barkley and Barry who were attacking and completed a long shot that was slightly over the crossbar!

In the 85th minute of the game, after Ling Feng got the ball in the middle and got rid of it, he sent a precise through ball.

It's a pity that the young left winger Gray shot too hard and hit the ball directly into the stands, missing the opportunity to become famous.

As Ling Feng continued to create murderous opportunities in the frontcourt, he single-handedly suppressed Everton's offensive. Everton's players did not dare to attack anymore, but began to shrink their defense.

Countless fans in front of the TV thought that just Ling Feng's appearance would instantly reverse the offensive and defensive balance on the field!

Is this the role of a superstar? !

And Everton's players suddenly began to feel that it would be good if this score was maintained until the end of the game and then entered overtime.

Even leading to a penalty shootout, their chances of advancing to the finals are not small.

After all, no matter how powerful you are, Ling Feng, you can only shoot one penalty kick.

And they faced off with their main lineup, so they had an advantage in the penalty shootout.

However, Ling Feng did not intend to drag the victory to overtime or even a penalty shootout that depended on luck.

You know, Ranieri replaced him to end the game!
As the fourth official on the sidelines took out the substitution card and signaled that there were three minutes of stoppage time, it meant that the game had entered the final stoppage time period.

At this moment, Ling Feng advanced through the midfield and was brought down by defensive midfielder McCarthy, winning the team a chance for a free kick in the frontcourt.

This free kick is about thirty-eight meters away from the goal.

It happens to be within Ling Feng's best shooting range!
Ling Feng stood in front of the ball and saw the wall blocking the near corner.

Taking another look at Howard's position, slightly closer to the near corner, he knew that the opponent was preventing his shot from going around the wall and then directly into the goal behind him.

In this case, let me show you the power of 99 shot power!

Run-up, shoot!
There was a "bang", and a lightning-like thunder was drawn in the mid-air of the King Power Stadium and shot straight towards the goal!

A long shot with a shooting power of 99, just one word: fast!

Especially when you don't have to worry about whether the kick will hurt someone, the ball speed is faster!
Ling Feng's shot selection exceeded everyone's expectations.

Including Everton goalkeeper Howard!

"What about bypassing the human wall as promised?!"

By the time he realized this, it was too late.

Even if he immediately moved to the right and made a sideways dive, he could not prevent the ball from turning into an afterimage that was difficult to catch and hanging directly in the upper right corner of the goal!
