Chapter 554 French Prodigy? Do you think you are Ling Feng? !
"The ball went in!!!"

"Tricky shot!"

"Antoine Griezmann!"

"France's number seven gives the team the lead!"

After scoring the goal, Griezmann opened his arms, ran to the corner flag area, and then did his signature phone call celebration!
This action also brings all fans' thoughts back to two years ago.

You know, two years ago in the summer of France, Griezmann not only conquered thousands of fans with his superb football skills and outstanding handsome face.

His iconic phone call celebration became popular all over the world!
Before the game, many people added the gimmick of a showdown to this match.

For example, "Ling Feng VS Mbappe", "Ling Feng VS Pogba", "Ling Feng VS Kante".
However, they seem to have overlooked that in Deschamps' French team, the "real core" is not Mbappe, nor Pogba, but Griezmann!

Since Griezmann established his core position in the frontcourt in 16, more than 4231% of France's games have adopted the mainstream tactical formation of .

Griezmann, standing at the number ten position, can not only take on the task of organizing the connection, but also ambush behind Giroud, the big center forward, and wait for an opportunity to move.

Griezmann is not a dribbling expert like Neymar and Henry, nor does he have the precise footwork like Beckham and De Bruyne.

But his ability in containment, linking up and scoring goals in the front court is top-notch. He is good at tearing apart the defense through movement and creating opportunities for his teammates. He is a typical example of someone who uses his brain to play football.

Speaking of which, Griezmann's position and role in France are exactly the same as Ling Feng's position and role in England!
Both of them are free men in the frontcourt with huge tactical freedom!
Moreover, the positive changes that the two have brought to the team's leadership are visible to the naked eye.

In the French team, where young talents and rising stars are emerging, everyone is a proud genius.

Therefore, the French team relied more on individual footwork during the ball possession phase and did not perform as a “collective” team.

It is precisely Griezmann's presence that makes the entire formation and passing of the French team relatively orderly.

Only then can a group of talents such as Mbappe, Dembélé, Tolisso, Coman, Pogba, etc. be combined into a relatively united whole to a certain extent.

Of course, in England, Ling Feng's influence on the team and the game is even greater.

This world's number one football player, using his unique personal abilities and natural leadership qualities, has turned the Three Lions, which have always appeared very strong on paper, into one of the strongest teams in the world!
The young people of England gathered around him, obeyed his orders, and charged towards the championship and honor!
However, in the first round of this "Mars-Earth collision" match, the French team took the upper hand.

Although I thought that France’s attack was also very fierce, perhaps our own defense could not stop it.

However, countless English fans could not have imagined that less than ten minutes after the start of the game, the opponent used a very simple combination of the side and the middle to break through their own goal!

The way the ball was lost was really ridiculous.

Even Pickford stood up and shouted to left-back Luke Shaw:

"What the hell!"

"Luke, how could you possibly let him pass so easily and complete the cross?!"

Luke Shaw, who was dribbled past by Mbappe, also raised his hand to signal to him that it was his fault.

After all, if he followed Mbappe more closely, Mbappe would not be able to pass the ball so easily.

Looking at the French people celebrating wildly, Ling Feng had a calm expression, without any emotion showing in his words.

In his opinion, the Three Lions' defense rarely concedes goals.

However, thanks to the fierce firepower of the frontcourt attack, the pressure on the defense was not too great.

What's more, the French team is not incapable of scoring goals, so it is reasonable for them to score.

It's just that this ball was lost a little too easily.
As the captain, Ling Feng also responded promptly:
He pointed at his temples with both hands and said loudly to his teammates:

"Hey!"

"The game has just begun, don't relax too much!"

"Clear your mind! Focus on the game!"

"It doesn't matter if we fall behind, we can just catch up!"

Ling Feng's voice seemed to have an inexplicable magical power, which instantly soothed the tension, anxiety and helplessness of the Three Lions players.

Although falling behind was not what they expected.

However, they have not fallen behind before, and they have a strong mentality to deal with any situation!
behind?

Just get it back!

As the strategy of proactive attack worked and they took the lead so quickly, the French team naturally gained confidence and planned to press on.

However, as they pressed forward, they found that the opponent seemed to be serious!

Perhaps because of the threatening attack they had just launched from the right side, the French team repeatedly passed the ball to Mbappe on the right, trying to continue to tear open the opponent's defense through his single-point blasting effect.

However, Luke Shaw, who had just been dribbled past by Mbappe, seemed like a different person.

Whenever Mbappe hasn't got the ball firmly, Luke Shaw will immediately defend him closely and give him physical strength.

Mbappe was either knocked away and lost control of the ball;
Or Luke Shaw would stretch out his foot and kick the ball cleanly out of the sideline.

The entire defense is very clean and concise!
"Luke Shaw's defense on the wing is absolutely flawless!"

After successfully defending Mbappe again, Luke Shaw received praise from his teammates and cheers from the fans.

In response, he just smiled lightly:
"French prodigy, how about this!"

This shows the value of being teammates with Ling Feng.

Because he was often ravaged by Ling Feng at Manchester United, Luke Shaw's one-on-one defense ability has long been improved to a world-class level.

Seeing Mbappe taking the ball again and wanting to challenge him, Luke Shaw made a very clever prediction. He took the first step and blocked his way the moment Mbappe dribbled the ball out.

Mbappe, who was blocked, frantically stretched out his hands to try to chase the ball.

However, because the pulling action with his hands was too obvious, the referee directly called a foul!
Luke Shaw, who completed this successful defense, glanced at Mbappe, who was holding his head in his hands with an unbelievable look, and couldn't help but reveal a contemptuous smile:

“Haha, do you still think you are Ling Feng?!”

As Mbappe was frozen by Luke Shaw, the Three Lions also had several opportunities to counterattack.

However, as the key defender, every time Ling Feng got the ball and wanted to launch a counterattack or advance with the ball, his club teammate Kante would come up to him like a black shadow and prevent him from getting the ball and turning around easily.

However, just as Kante knows Ling Feng's offensive habits very well, Ling Feng also knows Kante's defensive habits very well!

Kanter's strengths lie in his defensive positioning awareness, terrifying running coverage area, and follow-up defense rate.

It's not certain how fast he is.

Therefore, every time there was a transition from offense to defense, Ling Feng would retreat to support the defense without any hesitation. He would directly pass the ball and make a wall pass to break through Kante's close defense!
In the 17th minute of the game, Mbappe's cross pass was intercepted by Dale as Luke Shaw was close to him.

"Eric (Dale)!"

Without any hesitation, Dell immediately passed the ball to Ling Feng who was reaching out for the ball in front of him.

He first passed the ball to Henderson with his back to goal, then turned and dashed past Kante. Then, he received the ball from Henderson and strode towards the French position.

Even though Kante was running as fast as he could and following closely behind Ling Feng, he could only watch Ling Feng dribble past Matuidi who was defending.

Ling Feng’s back is out of reach!
"Nice one-two!"

"Ling Feng advances with the ball!"

"Pendulum pass! Matuidi was easily passed!"

When the ball was within shooting range, Ling Feng showed no mercy and shot directly!
There was only a loud bang, and the ball, which was hit hard by Ling Feng's right foot, instantly turned into a black afterimage.

It is like a bolt from the blue!

It was an elusive and strange trajectory, first left and then right, after drawing an S shape in the air, the ball had already reached the eyes of French goalkeeper Lori.

All he could do was subconsciously raise his hands and pray that the ball would hit his body or hands.

Unfortunately, God did not answer his prayers.

In other words, Ling Feng, a person who traveled through time from the future, is not under the jurisdiction of God at all!
With a "swish" sound, the ball went straight into the net, splashing layers of waves!
Lloris, standing on the goal line, simply raised his hands and gave a very standard Gallic salute.

The next second, the entire Zenit Stadium was boiling!

boom!
The cheers from all over the sky rose up to the sky!

In less than five minutes, the Three Lions equalized the score.

The one who equalized the score was still the leader and strongest man of the Three Lions.
"GOALLLLLLL~~~"

“Incredible super world wave!!!”

"It is worth mentioning that this was the England captain's first shot of the game!"

After scoring the goal, Ling Feng turned around and walked to the stands, shrugged with contempt, and then spread his hands.

That look seemed to say:
Scoring a goal is not difficult!

In sharp contrast to the blushing English fans were the French players and fans who looked confused and helpless.

Damn it!
Is it right to have such an unstoppable super shot with the first shot?
This pervert, doesn't he even need to adjust the crosshairs before shooting? !

However, for neutral fans, two goals were scored in less than 20 minutes. This semi-final was too exciting, wasn't it?!

After the score was tied, the French did not change their strategy, but continued to attack according to the original plan!
Judging from the past twenty minutes of the game, the strategy of attacking instead of defending is effective.

Moreover, judging from the status and capabilities of their own defense line, they really cannot stop Ling Feng!

Therefore, it is definitely impossible to defend it.

After taking the lead, all players retreated to the half court. This defensive strategy was not going to last until the final whistle of the game.

The only way they can win is to score more goals than England!

And in order to score a goal, they must attack!
Attack again! !

All-out attack!!!

However, as the English players entered the game state, the French attack was not as repressive as expected.

Just as the French team conducted detailed analysis and research on England, England's coaching staff and analysis team also conducted comprehensive research and analysis on this Gallic rooster.

They know very well that the midfield hub of the French team is undoubtedly Juventus' No. 10 Pogba!
Therefore, Hodgson arranged Ling Feng to face Pogba and restrict him from passing the ball!
This move can be called "hitting the snake at its most vulnerable part"

Under Ling Feng's pressure, Pogba was unable to control the rhythm of the game at all.

He couldn't even hold the ball, and was repeatedly intercepted by Ling Feng and counterattacked because of his clumsy steps.

If Kane and Rashford hadn't been in average form in this game, Ling Feng's two fatal passes to them would have turned into goals long ago!

With Pogba frozen by Ling Feng, Griezmann, as the core of the frontcourt organization, could only retreat frequently to get the ball and help the midfield to pass the ball.

In this way, the distance between him and his two frontcourt partners Giroud and Mbappe will only be lengthened, and it will be more difficult for them to respond to each other.

When the French team finally pushed the ball to the frontcourt, they had to face the Three Lions who were already ready for battle.

The two major weapons to break through dense defenses are set pieces and long shots.

But these two magic weapons are completely useless in front of the "Premier League Aerial Master" Maguire and the "Indestructible" Ling Feng.

Not to mention long shots, even from set pieces, England didn't give France any chance!

The offensive threat was not enough to suppress the Three Lions, and the opponent repeatedly lost the ball because of risky through passes.

Then, there was a very threatening counterattack!

As the starting point of the Three Lions' counterattack, Ling Feng, dressed in white, was like a graceful knight. He was in an empty space and repeatedly passed Kante, Pogba and Matuidi in the middle.

They could only stop the omnipotent British captain through rough fouls such as pulling and throwing.

When the game reached the 38th minute, the French midfield trio of Matuidi, Kante and Pogba each received a yellow card!
Fortunately, the cost of three yellow cards was worth it.

In return, England's several threatening counterattacks were strangled in the cradle.

However, the French defense faced the biggest crisis in the last moments of the first half!

This stemmed from a very reckless pass attempt by the French team.

Under Ling Feng's restriction, Pogba, who had finally gained a brief respite through a wall pass, sent a long diagonal pass directly from the right side of the frontcourt, trying to lift the ball into the penalty area.

However, Maguire got the first point and headed the ball away, and the ball fell right in front of Ling Feng.

Ling Feng also stopped and passed the ball directly, and with one move, he passed Matuidi who was rushing towards him, and then moved forward with the ball.

Due to the overall pressure on the formation, the entire French backcourt was very empty.

Faced with this, Varane and Umtiti, who were lagging behind, did not dare to rush forward easily. They could only fight and retreat, waiting for their teammates to return to defense.

But Ling Feng's advancement speed was too fast. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the front of the restricted area.

"Don't let him get up!"

"Get on top!"

Just when everyone thought Ling Feng was going to strike again, he made a fake move that fooled the whole world:

He pretended to shoot with his left foot, tricking Varane who was rushing towards him and turning around to block the shot. He then changed his ankle and moved it to the right, then rubbed the ball lightly with the outside of his right foot.

The next second, the ball spun in an outward arc, passing between Umtiti and left-back Luca Hernandez, and came behind the French defense line!
