Chapter 558 A one-sided World Cup final!
"Welcome to Sky Sports for your live broadcast."

"This is the Luzhniki Stadium, where the final of this World Cup will be held!"

"Here, we will witness the new owner of the World Cup!"

Accompanied by the cheers of the fans, players from both teams lined up and walked into the stadium from the player tunnel.

And the World Cup trophy that countless players dream of standing on the stage, emitting a golden glow.

When passing by the Hercules trophy, Ling Feng's gaze stayed for only half a second before he retracted it.

In his opinion, what he should do next is not to watch the details of the World Cup trophy closely, but to think about how to defeat his opponent.

Because, as long as they win the game, they will have time to hold the World Cup trophy in their hands and look at it carefully!

However, the other teammates stared at the trophy that represents the highest honor in football, unable to take their eyes away.

You know, the opportunity to see the World Cup up close doesn't come every day.
“The players are entering the field”

"We can see the World Cup trophy, which represents the highest honor in football, placed there, waiting for its new owner."

"This is the first time in Belgian history that they have reached the World Cup final. Martinez and his disciples will definitely hope to achieve a breakthrough!"

"Of course, their opponents, England, will not let them get what they want so easily."

"Okay, next, let us introduce the starting lineups of both teams to you."

Like the Three Lions, Belgium also adopted a 4231 tactical formation.

Perhaps the lesson from the last round of the group match made the Belgian coach Martinez clearly realize a problem:
That is, Ling Feng cannot be frozen at all!

Therefore, instead of trying every possible means to restrict Ling Feng, it is better to maximize your own advantages and use offense to destroy England!
After all, no matter how powerful Ling Feng is, he is just one person.

And their Belgian team has three superstars who can change the situation of the battle by themselves!
As long as they score one more goal than England in the final score, they will win the game!

It is worth mentioning that both teams have superstars worth over 100 million yuan.

In the Three Lions lineup, in addition to Ling Feng, who is the most valuable player in football, there is also Tottenham striker Harry Kane who is worth over 100 million.

As for Belgium, the three great players are all worth over 100 million:
Hazard is worth 1.3 million, De Bruyne 1.5 million, and Lukaku 1.1 million!
In addition to this, this is also a civil war in the Premier League!
This is because most of the main players of the two teams are from the Premier League!

It is no exaggeration to say that players on both sides know each other very well.

Plus, the finals are about the championship.
Many media and speculations suggest that both sides will be very cautious at the beginning.

However, this is not the case.
With a long whistle from Argentine referee Nestor Pitana, the 2018 Russia World Cup final officially kicked off!

England took the first kick-off.

As Kane passed the ball back to Ling Feng, the Belgian player in the red jersey rushed forward immediately and put high pressure on the Three Lions' player in control of the ball.

Seeing this, both the Three Lions players on the field and Hodgson on the sidelines were stunned.

However, Hodgson and the Three Lions players soon realized their opponents' intentions.

Obviously, Belgium tried to force England's backcourt players to have difficulty passing the ball or even make mistakes by pressing high in the frontcourt.

As Manchester United's high-pressure tactics swept across the Premier League and Europe, all of Europe began to analyze and study the tactical details of Mourinho's Red Devils.

Martinez is also very clear that this Three Lions team, which is dominated by the youth storm, is essentially no different from Mourinho's Red Devils.

These teams are all built around Ling Feng as the tactical core!

Therefore, after repeated analysis and discussion, they also plan to learn from the advantages of Mourinho's Red Devils.

As the saying goes, give someone a taste of their own medicine!
However, as the main winger of the Red Devils Manchester United, Lukaku returned to the center position after returning to the national team.

In order to increase his ability to fight, he followed the advice of national team coach Martinez and built muscle.

Although the muscle gain effect is not obvious.

However, the frequent matches between the club and the national team have consumed a lot of physical energy of this 200-pound little beast, so that his feet are relatively heavy.

You know, the high-pressure tactics are very demanding on the players' pressing intensity and organization.

If there is no effective teamwork during the pressing, the effect of the pressing will certainly not be enough to impose too much restriction on the opponent's backcourt passes.

However, due to Lukaku's insufficient lateral movement speed in the center position and Hazard's poor pressing enthusiasm, Belgium's high-pressure operation was strictly speaking only done by De Bruyne and Chadli.

This resulted in a very mediocre pressing effect, with England's backcourt being able to easily control the ball and then pass it out of the pressing circle.

Moreover, Stones and Maguire's footwork is among the best among England's central defenders.

As the main central defender of the Red Devils Manchester United, Maguire's stable passing ability is also an important reason why his value is as high as 80 million pounds!

As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, Belgium's high-pressure tactics not only failed to achieve the desired effect.

On the contrary, because the formation pressed forward and the pressing and follow-up speed was not fast enough, there was a disconnect between the forward line and the midfield line in the entire formation.

Ling Feng frequently cruised around this area, acting as a contact point.

In this game, Ling Feng was not surrounded by heavy troops.

However, Martinez still gave the two Belgian midfielders a death order:

As long as this "dangerous man" shows his intention to take the ball, Belgium's starting double defensive midfielders Tielemans and Witsel will follow him immediately and stop him by fouling!

However, compared with France's double defensive midfielders Kante and Matuidi, Belgium's two defensive midfielders Tielemans and Witsel are more than one level lower!
Especially the defensive ability, the latter could not impose any restrictions on Ling Feng at all.

No matter whether it was pulling with hands or confronting and colliding with bodies, neither of them could shake Ling Feng at all!

Even if they wanted to slide down and tackle, neither of them could reach Ling Feng!

Such defensive strength is a far cry from the close defense of "the world's No. 1 defensive midfielder" Kante and "Iron Man" Matuidi in the previous game!
Of course, Martinez understands this.

When it comes to defensive capabilities, Belgium is definitely not as good as France.

This is also the reason why Belgium coach Martinez gave up defense and took the initiative to attack!

He learned from France's failure.
Unfortunately, he overestimated his team's defensive capabilities.
Even if the world-class midfield combination of Kante, Matuidi and Pogba were combined, they couldn't stop Ling Feng. How could "scumbags" like Tielemans and Witsel possibly stop Ling Feng's blade? !

Ling Feng easily gets the ball in the midfield area, then organizes the distribution of the ball or advances with the ball.

As the ball was repeatedly taken from the backcourt and the attack advanced across half court, the Three Lions directly pushed Belgium back to their own half.

The front players who pressed forward were also forced to return to defense, and then were pressed and rubbed wildly by the Three Lions in the half.

This situation also made the Belgian coach Martinez frown on the sidelines:

Because he realized that something was not right.
He returned to the coaching booth and began to discuss the current situation with his assistants:
"We, but, this"

"We have speed and can also seize the counterattack in the transition between offense and defense." "Yes, their formation is so pressing that as long as we launch a quick counterattack, we can directly threaten the goal."

Finally, Henry, as a tactical coach, expressed his concerns:

"The problem is, our defense can't hold up for long"

"We can't go on like this."

And the speculation of this former Ballon d'Or superstar soon became a reality!

As the Three Lions continued to pull and attack, many gaps appeared in Belgium's formation.

In the 13th minute of the game, England's entire formation almost crossed the center line.

Even the two central defenders Maguire and Stones came to the top of the center circle to get the ball.

"Henderson gets the ball and passes it back to Maguire."

"Maguire got the ball again and Lukaku pressed! But he wasn't fast enough."

Facing this club teammate, Maguire was very calm. With just a feint, he easily passed the hesitant Lukaku.

Then, he dribbled the ball forward for several meters and passed it straight to Ling Feng who was retreating to receive the ball.

The latter stepped forward to meet the ball, stepped on his heel, and then turned around suddenly!
The Belgian midfielder Witsel, who was following closely behind, had no time to react and only felt a chill under his crotch.

As the ball passed through his crotch, Ling Feng turned into a flash of white lightning and whizzed past his side.

Even though the head coach's voice before the game, "guard the man, not the ball," was echoing in his mind, he subconsciously reached out and pulled Ling Feng's jersey, but it was a empty hand.

"Wow!"

"A master-level shot that goes through the legs!"

"It's as if there are eyes behind Ling Feng!"

After passing Witsel, Ling Feng lowered his shoulder and faked a move, then with the outside of his right foot, he passed another defensive midfielder Tielemans.

After passing two players, there were no Belgian players two meters in front of him.

Neither Vertonghen nor Alderweireld stepped forward for a while, but fell into a brief dilemma of "to go forward or not".

Ling Feng didn't hesitate at all and immediately chose to shoot!

Bang!
This sudden kick was like a bolt of lightning out of nowhere!
The suddenness of the kick could not conceal the power and force of the ball.

Because, in just a blink of an eye, the ball rushed to the front of Belgium's goal with a violent sound of breaking through the wind!

Perhaps his view was blocked by the central defender Vertonghen in front of him, so that when the ball came towards him like a cannonball, Belgian goalkeeper Courtois only saw the direction of the ball.

"Fake!"

Even though he made an extremely stretched and extreme dive at the first moment, the two-meter-tall goalkeeper still failed to touch the ball.
With a swish, the ball flew straight past his fingertips and playfully went into the upper right corner of the goal!
"GOALLLL!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"The first goal of the World Cup final was born!"

"The goal scorer is England's captain, Nanbo Severin Lingfeng!!!"

"This is the first time England has scored in a World Cup final in 52 years. At the same time, this is also Ling Feng's 14th goal in this World Cup!"

"Fourteen goals in seven games, incredible goal efficiency!"

"From this moment on, he surpassed Fontaine and became the new World Cup goal record holder!"

Accompanied by the commentator's excited narration, the Luzhniki Stadium had already turned into a sea of ​​​​jubilation.

"Ling Feng!"

"Ling Feng!!"

"Ling Feng!!!"

England fans, with red faces, shouted in unison the name of the man who led them to defeat their opponents time and time again.

The Belgian fans were confused:
what?
what's the situation?
A goal right there?!

Looking at the scoreboard that had become "1-0" and the number seven of the Three Lions standing in front of the stands with his arms open to receive the headpiece worship, they finally realized:
it is true!
They fell behind less than fifteen minutes into the game!

And the one who scored against them was none other than the strongest player in today’s football world!
Before the Belgian players and fans could come to their senses, the Three Lions, after taking the lead in the score, continued to launch wave after wave of fierce attacks on the Belgian positions under the leadership of Ling Feng!

The Belgians, whose goal had just been scored by Ling Feng, only then began to be on guard against the super heavy artillery of the current long-range shot king.

Both Witsel and Tielemans tried to prevent Ling Feng from getting the ball through fierce defensive actions and fouls.

It's a pity that for Ling Feng, whose physical fitness has reached its peak, even if Yaya Toure, Vieira, Makelele, Kante and other Ballon d'Or-level midfielders in their prime come together, they may not be able to defend him.

Not to mention Witsel and Tielemans who are not world-class players.
In fact, from the very beginning, Ling Feng didn’t take Belgium’s defense seriously at all!
This World Cup final is not only the venue for him to lead the Three Lions to the top of the football world and complete the coronation of the new king, but also the grand stage for him to show his terrifying personal abilities to the world without reservation!
Get the ball, break through, and shoot!

Ling Feng was like a peerless swordsman within Belgium’s densely packed enemy positions. No one could stop him as he moved!
The Belgian position soon fell again in the 28th minute!

And the one who scored the goal was Ling Feng!
After receiving the pass from Kane in the middle, Ling Feng directly pushed away Witsel who was rushing from the side and back, then did a deep-fried ball to pass Tielemans who was rushing towards him, and then dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Facing Vertonghen and Alderweireld who were like formidable enemies, Ling Feng just made a feint with his upper body, then gently pushed the ball with the outside of his foot, and the ball passed through Alderweireld's crotch just right.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Feng flashed and forced his way through between two Belgian central defenders, facing Courtois alone again!

“Oh my god!”

"How did he get there?!"

"incredible!?"

This time, Ling Feng just lightly picked the ball and once again defeated the Chelsea goalkeeper who was hailed as "the future world's No. 1 goalkeeper."

As the ball crossed the goal line, Courtois, who was kneeling on the ground with his hands raised, could only helplessly become the background of this great goal again.

At this moment, whether in the stadium or in front of the TV, all the fans except the wildly celebrating England fans fell into silence.

Those who were even more skeptical about life were the Belgian players on the field.

Hazard, De Bruyne, Lukaku, Vertonghen
Everyone looked at each other, with expressions of confusion, disappointment, helplessness, and disbelief appearing on their faces.

The confidence and ambition before the game were shattered by the consecutive goals conceded.

You know, within less than thirty minutes of the first half, the Three Lions had already scored twice!

Moreover, judging from the scene, it was completely one-sided!
