The first tumor in football

Chapter 113 Your Lin Huang is infinitely rampant!
Your Lin Huang is infinitely rampant.

Even a fake fan must have heard this widely circulated joke.

If football has ten stones of memes, Arsenal would have five of them.

Of the remaining five stones, four belonged to Lingard alone.

Jesse Lingard.

Also known as Lin Huang.

If you want to understand Lingard's strength, you can actually get a glimpse of it from his nickname.

Why is Lingard called Lin Huang?

This is a noble title given to Lingard by Chinese fans.

Taking Chinese history as an example, the Three Emperors, Heaven, Earth and Man, refer to Shennong, Suihuo and Fuxi.

It’s either the heaven and earth or the ancestor of China. Are you greater than me?

The King of Qin killed the kings of the six kingdoms, unified the world, and became the greatest emperor of all time.

Therefore, the emperor is greater than the king.

In the football world, Messi and Ronaldo have been fighting for so many years. Although they are known as the two greatest players of all time, they still haven't been able to determine the winner.

Since they have not yet achieved unification, the likes of Messi and Ronaldo can only be called kings.

So the fans call them Coal Ball King and Luo Ball King.

And what kind of player can be called an emperor?

The one who is well-known is the great Li Yi of Chinese football.

Although he failed to unify the country, he created the Bengbu spin and became famous all over the world. Only someone with such groundbreaking creations in football can be called an emperor.

Above the Emperor is the Emperor.

Therefore, there is no need to say more about Lin Huang’s strength.

But to really understand Lin Huang’s strength, we have to start from his childhood.

In 1992, Lin Huang's mother dreamed of Gao Qiu, the ancient Chinese football king, sleeping with a Cuju ball on her body. At that time, there were thunder and lightning, and the sun and moon were dim. A moment later, the sky became bright and illuminated Cheshire. She became pregnant and gave birth to Lin Huang. Later generations regarded that year as the first year of Lin Huang.

When Emperor Lin was born, six red lights shot up into the sky, circled Emperor Lin's ancestral home three times and headed for Manchester. At that time, six people including Beckham, Nicky Butt, Giggs, Scholes and the Neville brothers were training at the Carrington base. They were possessed by Emperor Lin's red light and all became great players. They were called Class 6.

Lin Huang had a prominent nose and dark complexion, curly hair and no beard. People at that time were surprised by this and thought that even though Messi and Ronaldo could not compare to him, he would become a great player in the future. When he was young, he often supervised Ferguson in battles, so he compared himself to Keane and Scola, and said that he would become a famous player of Manchester United in the future. People at that time believed it.

There is a poem that goes: Lin Huang is so charming that countless stars compete for him; Messi and Ronaldo only have slightly better output; Lewandowski and Kane are slightly less charming; Salah, a short-lived flower of his generation, only knows how to sprint and score few goals.

There is also a poem that says: Just because we didn’t know there was King Lin, we mistook Messi and Ronaldo as the kings of football; please come and watch the game at the London Bowl and see who is the craziest in the world.

The Grand Historian said: General Suo got Lin Huang but was unable to use him, and placed high hopes on Boba and Ma Xia. It was like handing over Jingzhou to Mi Fang and Jieting to Ma Su. How could he not be defeated? Therefore, General Suo cannot be called a famous general; General Yuan got Lin Huang and valued him. How can this be compared to Emperor Gaozu of Han getting Zhang Liang or Emperor Zhaolie getting Kong Ming? He can be said to know people and know how to use them.

Although fans make a lot of fun of Lin Huang, in fact, Lin Huang himself is indeed a relatively outstanding player.

Lin Huang had a period of decline, but during that time, it can only be said that Solskjaer had to take the blame.

In Solskjaer's system, Lingard has always been regarded as an attacking midfielder in the 4231 formation, that is, a front midfielder. In this position, Lingard's most important task is to pass the ball and organize the team's offense.

But his performance in this position was disastrous. Manchester United's frontcourt attack was disorganized and presented a scattered pattern of each team fighting on their own.

As an atypical attacking midfielder, Lin Huang does not have very delicate skills and creativity, but he also has his own advantages.

Lingard's biggest advantage lies in ball control. He has a very large coverage area in the frontcourt and can play the role of connecting the midfield and frontcourt.

He runs very actively and can counter-steal the ball immediately after losing it, which can effectively suppress the opponent's counterattack. In addition, he has strong ball-holding ability and generally does not lose the ball. This is his biggest advantage.

At the same time, this is also the reason why Song Wen chose Lingard.

With Lingard's presence, the team's defensive pressure in the midfield can be greatly alleviated.

After all, it is well known that Song Wen cannot defend.

It's still good in the club, his teammates will cooperate with him, leave all the offense to him, and focus on defense in the midfield.

But in this temporarily formed team, Song Wen really needs the active Lin Huang.

Lingard, who was chosen by Song Wen, seemed a little surprised. He walked up to Song Wen and high-fived him, and said happily:

"Hey man! I have to say, you really have good taste."

Confidence is the most typical trait of these players who come out of the youth training system.

Among the players, Rashford spread his hands helplessly, his heart almost broken.

After seeing Song Wen's team pick Lingard, Harry Kane thought about it and directly chose Rashford, a striker who was also from Manchester United.

Rashford and Lingard came from Manchester United's youth training together, and now both play for Manchester United. They are very close friends.

These two people naturally have enough tacit understanding on the court.

In fact, the World Cup is one of the best events in the world.

But its excitement is far from comparable to club competitions such as the Champions League.

Although the national team selects the top players from various clubs, teamwork is more important than individual ability in football matches.

In this regard, the national team can never compare with the club.

So Harry Kane very cleverly broke up Rashford and Lingard, who are both from Manchester United and have a close relationship.

Although this is just a practical confrontation training, everyone understands that with the addition of Song Wen and Rashford, it means that two people will be eliminated from the next roster.

And their performance in training will also affect their starting position in the national team.

When it was Vardy's turn to select players again, the striker looked at Song Wen again and signaled that you can come.

After getting Vardy's signal, Song Wen hesitated for a moment, but finally, under the grief-stricken gaze of Grealish, he chose Maguire, who is still in Leicester City.

As one of the world's top defenders, Maguire is always teased by fans as an aircraft carrier turning around because of his slow turning speed.

But it is undeniable that Maguire's ability is still outstanding.

Most importantly, Maguire is Vardy's only club teammate in the national team.

Vardy did not choose Maguire when he made the first selection. Now that the right of selection has been given to him, Song Wen naturally has to give Vardy a return gift.

Seeing Song Wen choose Maguire, Vardy smiled and said: "You really have a good vision. Maguire is our Leicester City's defensive general. He will not let you down."

Feeling Vardy's satisfaction, Song Wen smiled.

Football is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

At the same time, he is now here commanding his troops and generals, and to be honest, it feels really good.

It's like you are playing a game, and your card library is full of SSR cards for you to choose from.

You know, those who can enter the England national team training camp are all famous stars of their respective clubs.

If you randomly pick out 23 players from the England national team's 11-man roster to form a team, they can play as many as ten national football teams.

Of course, this does not mean that the England national team is so strong and invincible.

But the Chinese national football team is rubbish.

Seeing Song Wen chose Maguire, Harry Kane took Phil Jones away without hesitation.

Jones, also a defender from Manchester United.

In fact, in this England national team, apart from Tottenham players, Manchester United has the second largest number of players.

At that time, Phil Jones was still known as the Flying General. He did not become a "wasteful general" due to injuries. He was a versatile player in the backcourt. His first position was center back, but he could also play right back and midfielder. He was famous for his fierce fighting.

When the power of the elected person returned to Song Wen's hands again, Song Wen saw Grealish in the crowd and found that the other party seemed to be about to fall apart at this moment.

Obviously, Grealish was very hurt by his repeated failure to choose him.

Grealish is indeed breaking now.

He knew that he was able to enter the England national team thanks to Song Wen, and there was some nepotism involved.

But Song Wen abandoned him so quickly that his heart was still hurt.

When he noticed that Song Wen's gaze had finally shifted to him, Grealish's heart leapt with joy.

"I knew Song would never abandon me."

He nodded at Song Wen and firmly expressed the idea of ​​"I can do it", and then he heard Song Wen's 37-degree mouth say the name of Minus Eight Degrees again.

"Ashley Young."

Ashley Young also comes from Manchester United.

As one of Manchester United's Dark Four, the then 32-year-old Manchester United captain initially played as a winger.

But as he gets older, he is now mainly responsible for the full-back position in the national team.

In fact, Ashley Young was already on the decline in all aspects at this time. Song Wen chose him because Ashley Young's effect in Manchester United was like Zheng Zhi's effect in the Chinese national football team.

He is the emotional regulator on the court. He always stands up at critical moments, cheers up his teammates and urges them to run and press.

And as a veteran, Ashley Young can play multiple positions on the field.

Ashley Young, who was chosen, walked out with a smile.

As a veteran, Ashley Young has not had a good time at Manchester United recently and has often been criticized by fans for retiring.

Now that he was chosen on his own initiative, he still feels very proud.

"Brothers, come on."

As soon as Ashley Yang opened his mouth, Song Wen's face twisted.

He smelled bird shit.

Kane then chose Sterling, the founder of happy football from Manchester City.

In this way, Group A can be said to have got the three players who often started in previous periods on the front line.

Harry Kane, Sterling, and Rashford.

This time, Song Wen finally did not disappoint the little complaining woman Grealish and took her down.

Afterwards, both sides quickly completed their respective selections.

Group A:
Forwards: Harry Kane, Sterling, Rashford.

Midfielders: Dier, Henderson, Alli.

Defenders: Trippier, Rose, Walker, Stones.

Goalkeeper: Pickford.

Group B:
Forwards: Vardy, Welbeck, Grealish.

Midfielders: Jesse Lingard, Ashley Young, Danny Song.

Defenders: Maguire, Cahill, Arnold, Delph.

Goalkeeper: Bartram.

Seeing that the two groups of players had already gone to the field to warm up, Southgate asked the assistant coach beside him, "Which group do you think will win?"

The teaching assistant thought for a moment and said:

"Group A, right?"

"Oh?" Southgate seemed very interested. "Tell me your reasons. Do you think the players in Group B are not as good as those in Group A?"

"That's not the case," the assistant coach shook his head and explained, "From the offensive point of view, the forwards of Group A are indeed more aggressive than those of Group B. They are faster and have more impact. But in the midfield, I think Group B is obviously better."

Southgate smiled and said: "Ali should not make the same mistake as in the last game. Moreover, the players in Group A are basically from Tottenham and Manchester United and have club experience. The teamwork of Group B cannot be compared with that of Group A."

Hearing Southgate's words, the assistant coach shrugged without comment.

Southgate said again: "You go and arrange the tactics for the players in Group A, and I will go to guide Group B."

After saying that, he walked towards the players of Group B and clapped his hands.

"Hey guys, let's plan some tactics. A team cannot do without a reasonable tactical plan."

Hearing Southgate's words, everyone came over.

The reason why Southgate coached Group B himself was because he felt that Group B was somewhat lacking in strength compared to Group A.

Naturally, they need personal guidance from the head coach to allow them to gain certain tactical advantages, so that it will be fairer.

"I suggest you try to compress your defense as much as possible in this game and focus on defensive counterattacks. Song, your passing is very good. You can play more long passes behind them."

After hearing what Southgate said, Song Wen couldn't help but roll his eyes.

As expected of Southgate, the tactical master, what he said was simply thunderous.

Why should Group B play a defensive counterattack?
If you want to play a defensive counterattack, first of all, you must have speed on the front line or in your attacking frontcourt.

Where are the players like this in Group B?
Whether it is Grealish, Vardy or Welbeck on the front line, they are not players known for their speed.

In the midfield, apart from himself, there is no need to count on the old, weak and sick Ashley Young to rush forward, let alone Lingard's speed.

The advantage of Group B actually lies in the players' strong ball control ability.

In terms of speed, they are completely incomparable to Group A which has players like Sterling and Ali.

Although when the opposing players are very fast, parking the bus is a good defensive option.

Just like when Ipswich played against Tottenham.

But the problem is that first of all, you have to have a character on your side who can lead a counterattack.

Otherwise you can only passively take the beating.

Ipswich is obviously a very different situation to where it is now.

You should know that although Song Wen played as an attacking midfielder at the time, he often played as a striker.

But now Group B already has three forwards on the front line, and there is no space for Song Wen to continue to move forward.

The players he selected were all players with delicate footwork, but Southgate's words of playing counterattack directly made Song Wen's efforts in selecting players go to waste.

Southgate's tactics are really worse than having no tactics at all.

But Song Wen has just joined the national team.

Neither his age, qualifications nor his honors are enough for him to argue with Southgate in person, so it is not easy for him to say much.

The most important thing is that he knows that although Southgate is not very smart, he is still a good person.

Having a good relationship with him and having a certain say through him in the national team full of superstars in the future is the option that maximizes benefits.

Both sides made a brief tactical arrangement, and the actual combat training between the two sides officially began.

The assistant coach picked up the whistle and temporarily acted as the referee.

With the referee's whistle, the game between the two sides officially began.

Group B kicked off first, and after Vardy passed the ball back, Group B began a slow passing advance.

According to Southgate's tactical arrangement, they don't need to attack in a hurry.

But Group A's playing style was extremely offensive, as they directly chose to press high.

Dele Alli, in particular, is full of energy.

Under this high-pressure defense, Group B, which already lacked coordination, quickly lost the ball in the midfield.

Dele Alli, who experienced a painful lesson, may have grown up. This time he did not choose to stick to the ball, but instead made a very decisive pass.

The pass was made with a great deal of lead time, and Sterling on the wing twisted his sexy little buttocks and started running.

How fast is Sterling?
His 10-meter speed can reach 55 seconds, and his speed with the ball is equally amazing, averaging about 70 sprints per game.

This is why this kid, despite his terrible shooting skills, is still valued by Manchester City and the England national team.

With Sterling on the wing, the opponent's defense can be easily torn apart.

Of course, whether or not you can score a goal is another matter.

But no matter how bad Sterling's shooting is, you can't help but defend him.

Cahill gritted his teeth and started chasing back desperately.

When Sterling started, he was still half a body length away from Cahill.

But when Cahill started, Sterling had already surpassed Cahill by half a body length.

Seeing that Cahill couldn't catch up with Sterling, Maguire immediately went to the edge of the penalty area and started to defend.

However, as we all know, although Maguire is a tough guy with excellent defensive abilities, the only thing he fears is encountering such fast and agile players.

After all, it was really difficult for him to turn around.

Although Sterling failed to dribble past Maguire, he still created space for passing the ball horizontally by relying on his speed.

Although several Group B players had returned to defense in the penalty area, Sterling keenly saw Dele Alli who was moving forward at high speed.

It is well known that Sterling is unhappy when he is not shooting.

So he sent a very simple low pass, which went straight to Dele Alli's feet.

This time, Dele Alli chose to kick the ball decisively!

The ball drew an arc and went straight into the blind corner!

Ali, who scored the goal, roared, raised his arms and shouted excitedly, reaching climax on the spot!
