Full-level pass, please call me the speaker of the Three Lions

Chapter 513: As long as I am here, there will be no suspense in the Premier League!
After the Golden Globe Award tribute ceremony, the Manchester derby drama officially kicked off.

This is a battle for the top spot in the league between first and second place!

It is a fight of the highest level in the Premier League!

This season, Manchester City is definitely the biggest enemy of the Red Devils Manchester United in defending the Premier League title.

After spending 200 million to renew their defense in the summer window, Manchester City is very close to the perfect team in Guardiola's mind.

Since the start of the season, Manchester City has been almost invincible except for the unexpected draw by Everton at home.

Many matches are often massacres with large scores, which is not at all humane.

Whether it is Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal, they have all been defeated by Guardiola.

After fifteen rounds of league matches, Manchester City has achieved an unbeaten record of fourteen wins and one draw. Together with Manchester United, which has won all fifteen rounds, they are the only two unbeaten teams in the entire Premier League so far!
It is Manchester City's relentless pursuit that makes Manchester United dare not relax at all.

This game is also a great opportunity for Manchester City to overtake Manchester United and top the league table.

It is worth mentioning that since arriving in the British Isles, Guardiola has not won a single victory in the several matches between Guardiola and Mourinho!

Whether in the league or in the Community Shield, Mourinho has defeated Guardiola in three consecutive games.

After upgrading the team's lineup again in the summer, Guardiola naturally wanted to end his unbeaten record against Mourinho.

Therefore, before the game, the perfectionist Guardiola also gave very specific tactical guidance to let the players understand their on-field responsibilities and the importance of this game.

"This is not an ordinary league game, but a game about the Premier League championship!"

"Play football with your brain and think more on the field!"

"This game will be tough, but I believe in you!"

On the other hand, the atmosphere in the home team's locker room was very relaxed and carefree.

Unbeaten Manchester City?

Just a defeated general!

Besides, I have the Golden Globe Award winner Ling Feng, so who the hell am I afraid of?

As both sides completed their final pre-match preparations, they gathered in the player tunnel.

Many Manchester City players looked at the black-haired young man who was standing at the front of the line with his head held high.

De Bruyne, David Silva, Yaya Toure, Aguero
As opponents in the same league, they have played against Ling Feng twice in the past three years.

Whether it's at Leicester City or Manchester United.

They dared to swear that when they first played against Ling Feng, they never thought that Ling Feng would one day win the Golden Ball and become a figure on par with Messi and Ronaldo!
However, it was precisely because they had not expected it that they felt incredible at Ling Feng's terrifying speed of progress.

From a rookie in a newly promoted team in the Premier League to the current captain of both club and national team and Ballon d'Or winner, Ling Feng's progress is even more amazing than they ever dreamed!
At the same time, Ling Feng, who was standing in front of the queue, naturally had no idea what the Manchester City players were thinking.

He just stared straight ahead with a determined expression.

Since becoming the captain of Manchester United, Ling Feng has also changed some of his pre-match habits.

For example, greeting opponents in the player tunnel.

Football matches are wars in peacetime and should not be too friendly.

Just imagine that before the war begins, the soldier will hold the enemy's hand, then smile and say: "Dear, I will do my best to kill you later!"

That scene is simply funny!
What's more, this is a showdown between city rivals and league title contenders!
Accompanied by the stadium DJ's introduction, players from both teams lined up and entered the stadium.

After completing the pre-match ceremony, with a long whistle from referee Anthony Taylor, the focus battle of this league began!

Manchester City, who kicked off first, controlled the ball very carefully.

However, the Red Devils, playing at home, don’t care about you and directly press high!

With Ibrahimovic injured, Lukaku moved to the center position, and the mobility of the four players in the frontcourt made the collective pressing speed increase a lot!
Under Ling Feng's command, the entire Manchester United formation immediately pressed forward, trying to put as much pressure on Manchester City's backcourt as possible.

Want to control the ball?
no way!

This is also the most effective tactic Mourinho has come up with to restrain Guardiola's passing and control after years of research and analysis, and after learning from Klopp's style of play!

The core of the tactic is to prevent the opponent from passing the ball easily, and then force the backcourt players with relatively rough skills to take the ball more often, thus causing mistakes.

After all, not every team has the midfield and backcourt combination of Mascherano, Pique and Xavi like the Dream Team Barcelona!

Under Manchester United's aggressive high-pressure defense, it will naturally be more difficult for Manchester City to pass the ball from the backcourt, and mistakes will increase.

After several organized group presses, Kompany couldn't find a passing point for a while and could only kick the ball directly.

However, in this Manchester City team, there is no high point in the frontcourt!
A long pass to the frontcourt, Jesus, who replaced Aguero in the starting lineup, could only tremble under Maguire's tall body.

After several attempts, Manchester City's ground control of the ball could not form an effective pass, and the offense naturally fell into a quagmire.

On the other hand, Manchester United played very directly!
With French international Benjamin Mendy out due to injury, England international Delph once again played as a left-back.

The right side he was guarding naturally became the weakness in Manchester City's formation!

During Manchester United's ball possession and attacking phase, Ling Feng would frequently come to the right, and then take turns with Lingard to attack Delph.

In front of the new Ballon d'Or winner, Delph had no power to resist at all!

In the eighth minute of the game, Ling Feng cruised to the right and made a wall pass with Lingard to get past Delph who was like a wooden stake.

Driving the ball towards the baseline, Ling Feng did not forget to look up and observe, pretending to pass the ball across the middle.

This move also attracted the attention of all Manchester City defensive players.

Everyone thought he would pass the ball horizontally to Lukaku who was flanking the middle, or make a triangle pass to find Lingard who was running in from behind.

However, just as goalkeeper Ederson moved slightly forward, revealing a little space in the near corner, Ling Feng kicked the ball decisively!
With a bang, the ball shot out!

However, what no one expected was that Ling Feng did not make a cross, but chose a more unexpected shot!
"No pass! Shoot!"

Accompanied by the exclamations of the fans at the scene, the ball passed through the narrow near corner between Ederson's left foot and the goal post, and quickly went into the goal!

With a swish, the net was hit violently, creating ripples!

The next second, the entire Old Trafford stadium erupted in amazing cheers!

"Wow! Amazing processing!"

"Fake transmission and shooting, Ling Feng fooled everyone in Manchester City! Including us!"

"The score has become one to zero!"

This wave of operations fully demonstrated Ling Feng's superb basketball IQ and his great skills and courage.

First, look up and observe this small detail, making the opponent think that he is going to cross the ball, and also causing Ederson to move his position.

Then, he suddenly shot the ball, with a small-angle volley that hit the near corner!
After scoring the goal, Ling Feng came to the camera on the sidelines, pointed at the Manchester United team logo, and smiled charmingly.

This wave of operations will at least help him gain tens of thousands of followers!
After falling behind so early in the game, Manchester City quickly regrouped.

By taking turns to withdraw David Silva and De Bruyne, the ball was passed out at more points, which greatly alleviated the crisis of passing the ball in the backcourt. And by using delicate passing and control, the offensive was pushed to the frontcourt, posing a threat to Manchester United's defense.

Just as Manchester United focuses on the left side where Delph is, Manchester City also focuses on the right side where Valencia is.

The young and strong Sane repeatedly used his speed to attack the aging Valencia, making it difficult for the latter to cope with the attack.

Seeing this, Mourinho on the sidelines asked Herrera to move to the right to assist in defense, which slightly stabilized the situation.

However, although Manchester City's attack looked lively, it was not actually very threatening.

That is to pass the ball to the two wingers Sane and Sterling as much as possible, attract the defense through personal explosions, and then complete the horizontal pass;

Or he could make an oblique pass to the flank and De Bruyne could make a penetrating pass and cut combination.

The attacking tactics are good and they are very strong against other Premier League teams.

But it doesn't work for Manchester United.

When defending, except for Lukaku, all Manchester United's frontcourt players will return to their own half.

As space is compressed, Manchester City's attack will become bogged down.

Especially after Ling Feng returned to midfield, Manchester City's central advancement and penetrating passes were ineffective.

Fernandinho and D. Silva could only keep passing the ball to the two wingers and then create opportunities through personal breakthroughs.

However, Manchester United's two wingers are not vegetarians.

Especially Sterling on the right, who didn't even need Kante's help in defense, was easily defeated by Luke Shaw who had both speed and confrontation.

Sane on the left also had a difficult time after Herrera came over to assist in defense.

In the 26th minute of the game, Sane broke through on the left again, but was blocked by Herrera and Valencia and lost the ball.

This was supposed to be a clean defense.

However, referee Anthony Taylor signaled that Herrera had committed a blocking foul, giving Manchester City a chance for a set piece.

Herrera felt very wronged, holding his head in his hands, with an incredible look on his face, and then he went up to the referee to argue:
"How could this be a foul? I didn't even touch him!"

As the captain, Ling Feng stepped forward in time to separate Herrera, and then protested to Anthony Taylor:

"This ball can't be a foul!"

"I saw it, it's a foul!"

“He kicked the ball!”

"But he stopped his opponent in his tracks!"

'He lost control of the ball'

Finally, meeting Anthony Taylor's seemingly determined gaze, Ling Feng understood something and gave up the idea of ​​continuing the argument.

Damn the FA!
He knew very well that the more show-like the game was and the more difficult it was to decide, the more exciting it would be.

Moreover, for the people behind the Premier League, if this season is like last season and the championship suspense is lost too early, the ratings and topic value will definitely be greatly reduced.

However, Ling Feng doesn't care about that!
As long as he is in the Premier League, the Premier League championship is in his pocket!

. . .

"Manchester City have a chance from a set-piece."

"Kompany and Otamendi also came into the penalty area, ready to compete for headers"

Manchester City's dual core players, D Silva and De Bruyne, pretended to discuss in front of the ball for a while and finally decided on a tactic.

De Bruyne walked away, seemingly nonchalant.

The next second, D. Silva pretended to make a high cross, but he shook his ankle and passed the ball to De Bruyne in the middle!
The latter got the ball with the outside of his foot and shot it from an area about 20 meters away from the goal!
However, the ball turned into a cannonball and hit Bailey who was blocking the ball with a "bang", and then bounced back.

It fell right in front of Ling Feng!

The Red Devils captain rushed forward to meet the ball, as if he had eyes opened behind him, and he hooked his foot and lifted the ball directly!

Then he turned around and ran past De Bruyne who was rushing towards him.

When the figures intertwined, De Bruyne looked shocked and subconsciously wanted to reach out to pull.

However, Ling Feng's speed was even faster than his reaction!

With just a push off the ground, he jumped out several meters, unloaded the ball, and moved forward at high speed!
And in the next ten seconds, Ling Feng showed the world what a dragon is!

Since Kompany and Otamendi both entered the penalty area, only Walker and Delph were left in the backcourt.

Ling Feng strode forward with the ball and quickly crossed the half court.

Delph, who was slightly forward, rushed forward first!

However, Ling Feng only slowed down, then suddenly lowered his shoulders and changed direction to accelerate again, not even giving Delph a chance to commit a tactical foul, and flew directly past him!

Then there is Manchester City’s last defensive player, Walker, who is known as the best right-back in the Premier League!

Facing Walker who was like a formidable enemy, Ling Feng was not polite at all. He slowed down and then swung his body in a swing, directly shaking off Walker's center of gravity. Then he accelerated outwards and passed the Premier League's top "whip" defender head-on.

"It's over!"

"Ling Feng passed two people in a row and now he's fighting alone!"

"Can Ederson stop the Ballon d'Or winner?"

Finally, facing goalkeeper Ederson, Ling Feng calmly pretended to shoot with his right foot, then stepped on the ball and pulled it to the left, pushing it with his left foot.
The ball passed Ederson's feet accurately and went into the goal from the lower left corner!
At this point, Ling Feng scored a goal with his right foot and another with his left foot, completing his double-double!

After scoring the goal, Ling Feng slid on his knees in a handsome manner amid the cheers of the audience.

After standing up, he pressed his hands down to signal the fans to stay calm, then pointed at himself and then pointed downwards.

That look seemed to say to the world:

What championship battle, what top battle, that's all bullshit!
With me here, there will be no suspense in the Premier League!
Such an arrogant celebration also caused the fans in the stadium to shout his name again.

Ling Feng!

Ling Feng! !
Ling Feng!!!

"Wow!"

"A fatal counterattack!"

"Manchester United with Ling Feng is invincible!"

"Manchester City didn't stand a chance at all!!!"
