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

Chapter 546 Death in the upper half? It's just a stepping stone to becoming the king!
6 month 28 number.

As most groups have completed all group stage matches, there are still two spots left for the round of 16.

Before the match between England and Belgium in Group G began, the teams that had already been confirmed to enter the upper half were Uruguay, Portugal, France, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Japan.

The teams in the lower half are Spain, Russia, Croatia, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and Colombia.

So, for England, if they don’t want to enter the upper half of the death zone, they must lose!
As for Belgium, as long as they draw or lose, they can enter the lower half as they wish!

However, no one knew that England had already made an unexpected decision.
While the outside world was still discussing whether England and Belgium would give up the top spot in the group, the coaches of both teams generously admitted in the pre-match press conference that they would make a certain degree of rotation in this game.

After all, they have already qualified, so rotation is essential to allow the main players to rest.

Afterwards, they also tacitly denied the possibility of playing passively and deliberately losing to avoid the upper half.

Of course, that's what he said.

But everyone knows that this possibility is very high.

It was as if Denmark deliberately rotated its main players in order to enter the lower half, and staged an unspoken draw with France.

Many people speculated that this game might also be a negative and ugly game.

However, when the starting lineups of both teams were announced, everyone was a little surprised.

The European Red Devils made a comprehensive rotation of up to nine players.

This means that except for goalkeeper Courtois and midfielder Moussa Dembele, all the players have been replaced!
Martinez even used Chadli and Hazard Jr., who had never played as wing-backs before, as wing-backs!
On the other side, the Three Lions also made eight substitutions.

Substitutes such as Vardy, Rose, Lingard, Alli, Smalling and others all got the chance to start.

But
What's up with that monstrous number seven on the list?
Yes!

Even though there were large-scale rotations, Ling Feng, the core and captain of the Three Lions who scored seven goals in two games, continued to appear in the starting lineup!

This series of operations, which were done in the name of repairing the plank road but secretly attacking Chencang, directly confused the media and opponents.

Didn’t we agree on rotation?

Didn’t we agree to give the top spot in the group?
What do you mean by going up to Lingfeng? !

Everyone knows that Ling Feng is the soul of the Three Lions team.

Almost all the goals were related to him.

In other words, if Ling Feng continues to start, his offensive threat alone will be enough to cause trouble for Belgium.

what is this?
Rotated, but not fully rotated?!
As soon as the starting lineup came out, everyone, including the opponent's Belgian generals, couldn't help but feel a ripple:
Could it be that the Three Lions really want to take the top spot in the group and take the initiative to enter the hellish upper half? !

It is worth mentioning that the starting lineups of both sides made a total of sixteen adjustments, setting a single-game record in the World Cup!
It is obvious enough that the idea of ​​rotation between the two sides is too obvious.

However, when seeing Ling Feng starting the game, all English fans were mixed with joy and worry.

The good news is that this game is a sure win!
Belgium’s starting lineup does not include “Little Beast” Lukaku, “London King of the Ball” Hazard, “Blue Moon True Core” Ding, and even less the Tottenham central defender combination!

How could such a full substitute lineup possibly stand up to the Three Lions second team led by Ling Feng? !

The worrying thing is that if they win this game, they will enter the upper half of the death zone as the group leader and face off against several favorites to win the championship!
In this way, except for the round of 16 against Xiao Zizi, every subsequent game will be a life-and-death battle in which we cannot relax at all!
However, no matter the team is in the death half or the dream half, as fans, there is only one thing they need to do:

As always, support your team!

The Belgian fans were simply delighted:
"Hahaha, if you wanted to be number one in the group, just say so earlier!"

"You guys can take first place in the group, bye bye!"

"Nice! We're going to the lower half!"

It is worth mentioning that Belgium is known as the "European Red Devils", and this Three Lions team has many "Red Devils" who play for Manchester United.

Especially Ling Feng, he is the founder of the new Red Devil Dynasty!
Therefore, this game was also jokingly called "The Battle between the Real and Fake Red Devils" by fans.

Who is the real Red Devil?
Ninety minutes later, the answer will be revealed!
Beep~~~
With the referee's whistle, the last group match of the Russia World Cup began!

Belgium adopted a tactical formation of 3421 in this game.

Obviously, Belgium coach Martinez has carefully studied the Three Lions' tactical play.

Of course, it is well known that Ling Feng is the core and biggest threat of the Three Lions.

Therefore, he used this tactical formation in order to enhance the midfield control and offensive capabilities through the square positioning of double defensive midfielders and double attacking midfielders, while also trapping Ling Feng in the box-shaped cage they specially built!

So, after the game started, fans from both sides could see a very interesting scene:

As soon as Ling Feng gets the ball, as many as four Belgian players will appear around him!
They are Fellaini and Dembele as double defensive midfielders, and Tielemans and Januzaj as double attacking midfielders.

The four of them will surround Ling Feng from the front, back, left and right at the same time, blocking his way.
Today's photographers have also captured many photos of Ling Feng, dressed in white, fighting one against four people.

I even thought of a title for the photo - Special treatment for Mr. Golden Globe!

However, even so, Belgium still couldn't restrict Ling Feng!

After all, this is not the first time that Ling Feng has received special care from his opponents.

When facing multiple defenders, he would not rashly take the ball and break through, but would choose to pass the ball as soon as possible.

Because the opponent will send a large number of troops to guard you, the other teammates will have more space to get the ball!
Just a simple wall-kicking move is enough to break through this seemingly tight square defense!

After several times, England took advantage of Ling Feng's personal defensive traction to create more offensive opportunities for other players.

In the 16th minute of the game, Ling Feng cooperated with the wall in the middle, and then made a diagonal pass to the left side of the penalty area and found Vardy.

The latter shot from a small angle, but Courtois tipped the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

In the 24th minute, Ling Feng had a free kick opportunity 35 meters down the middle and shot directly.

The ball shot out like a cannonball, and with a duang sound it hit the junction of the upper right crossbar and the goal post, and bounced out.

Looking at the shaking goalpost, Courtois on the goal line also felt a lingering fear in his heart.

Grass!
It’s okay in the Premier League, but in the World Cup, he still can’t escape this perverted and murderous shooting!
If all Premier League goalkeepers were asked to vote for the player they least wanted to face, Ling Feng would definitely be voted first! It's because his heavy artillery is so damn scary!
When facing other players' shots, they think about how to save the ball!

But when facing Ling Feng's shot, he was thinking about how to avoid being shot!

After the game started, the Three Lions team, with eight players rotating, under the leadership of Ling Feng, were not cautious at all.

Instead, they took the initiative to press forward, launching wave after wave of attacks!
It wasn't until the 35th minute of the game that the score finally changed!
Ling Feng played a series of wall passes with Lingard on the right, and Lingard took the ball to the bottom and completed an inverted triangle pass.

The captain of the Three Lions entered the penalty area at an extremely fast speed, and with a light flick of his left foot, he shook off the Belgian central defender Boyata. Then, with a light lob, the ball went over Courtois' raised fingertips and into the empty goal behind him!
In the first half stoppage time, Ling Feng used a set piece and made a cross to assist Smalling to score with a header, scoring another goal!
It was not until the 65th minute of the second half that Ling Feng cut in from the right flank, dribbled past three players and shot into the far corner, completing his second goal.

After the score was extended to three goals, Ling Feng, who had completed two shots and one assist, was finally replaced by Hodgson.

However, just after Ling Feng left the court, the situation on the field suddenly reversed.

The Three Lions, having lost their tactical leader, were a little confused by the continuous attacks from the Belgian substitutes.

Even at the last moment, the city goal was breached and Januzaj scored a goal to save face.

However, this goal did not change the outcome at all.

In the end, the Three Lions defeated their group rivals, the "European Red Devils" Belgium, 3-1 in Kaliningrad.

With three wins and nine points, we advance to the round of 16 as the group leader!

They will enter the upper half of the death zone with favorites to win the championship such as Brazil, Argentina, Portugal and France.

Belgium, which lost the game, ranked second in the group with two wins and one loss, accumulating six points, and entered the lower half as expected!

It is worth mentioning that after losing the game, the Belgian players, coaches and fans did not feel sad or upset.

Instead, he tried hard to suppress the wildly upward curve of his mouth corners and hide the smile in his eyes.

Of course, they were already smiling brightly in their hearts!

Nice!

On the contrary, the English fans who won the game were a little worried.

Of course they were very worried.

There are too many strong teams in the upper half.

We have to give our all in every game, which is too exhausting for the team.

This is extremely detrimental to their plan to win the World Cup.

However, in Ling Feng's opinion, even though there are many strong players in the upper half.

To him, these teams are just stepping stones for him to ascend the throne!

If he enters the lower half of the easy difficulty group, even if he leads the Three Lions to lift the World Cup trophy in the end, there will still be some haters who think that this World Cup title is too worthless.

Besides, competing against strong teams and putting on wonderful games is the charm of sports competition!
Therefore, in order to prove himself to the whole world and for the sake of his own desire to fight against the strong, Ling Feng certainly hopes to enter the upper half and have a chance to compete with those traditional giants.

The most important thing is that no matter who his opponent is, he has the belief and confidence to win.

What is Five Star Brazil?
What is Pampas Eagle?

What Gallic rooster?
Let’s go together!
I, Ling Feng, play against a strong team!!!
. . .

With the last group match coming to an end, the list of the top 16 teams of this World Cup has been officially released!
Group A - Uruguay, Russia
Group B - Spain, Portugal
Group C - France, Denmark
Group D - Croatia, Argentina

Group E - Brazil, Switzerland
Group F - Sweden, Mexico

Group G - England, Belgium
Group H - Colombia, Japan
The match schedule for the round of 16 was also released!
Upper half:
"Gallic Rooster" France VS "Pampas Eagle" Argentina
"Sky Blue Army" Uruguay VS "Five Shield Army" Portugal
Brazil vs Mexico
"Three Lions" England VS "Blue Samurai" Japan

Lower half:
"Matadors" Spain VS "Polar Bears" Russia
"Checkered Army" Croatia VS "Fairy Tale Kingdom" Denmark

"Viking" Sweden VS "Swiss Army Knife" Switzerland

"Coffee Country" Colombia VS "European Red Devils" Belgium
As the top 16 came, many media and fans couldn't help but exclaim:

This upper half is too outrageous!

Because the upper half will have the most terrifying concentration of strong teams in history, and the five favorites to win the championship are all concentrated in the upper half, namely Portugal, France, Argentina, Brazil and England.

Moreover, five of the eight teams in the upper half have won the World Cup, namely Uruguay, France, Argentina, Brazil and England!

For the Three Lions, their round of 16 opponent is one of the few soft persimmons in the upper half.

It is not difficult to win the daily life and enter the top eight.

The problem is, after defeating Little Japan, they will most likely face the most successful team in the World Cup - the five-star Brazil - in the quarter-finals!
In Ling Feng's view, this is an opportunity for revenge given to him by fate!

You know, four years ago in the Brazil World Cup, the Three Lions finally lost to the Samba Army and stopped in the quarterfinals!
This time, meeting Brazil again in the quarterfinals is simply fate.

Even Alves and David Luiz were not selected.

However, the paper strength of this Samba Army is much stronger than four years ago.

Especially in the striker position, Liverpool's Firmino and Manchester City's Jesus are much better than Fred, Joe and other rookies four years ago!
Of course, Ling Feng is no longer the same person he was four years ago!

Today, he is the football king of the new era. He is no longer the hot-footed midfielder who could only pass the ball to his teammates four years ago. Instead, he has become the strongest 100-goal player and super hexagonal warrior in history!

Ling Feng is looking forward to the second World Cup match against Brazil.

Of course, against Brazil, he must lead the Three Lions over the corpses of Little Day!
Although it is a pity that I am not representing the Oriental Dragons to compete against Xiao Ri Zi in the World Cup.

However, Ling Feng, who possesses the soul of the Eastern Kingdom, will not easily let go of the opportunity to ruin his life.

This match will be held in Rostov-on-Don, the hometown of the famous writer Chekhov.

The city is famous for its pleasant climate.

However, Ling Feng intends to use this city as his burial place!
