Full-Level Pass, Please Call Me The Boss Of The Three Lions

Chapter 286

The game was a big success, but the game was a big success.

Chapter 286 Pogba, you are just a jerk!

“The ball went in!”

“Harry~~~Kane!!!”

“The one who assisted him was still our No. 7 Ling Feng!”

Seeing Ling Feng’s assist, Pogba on the bench heard his teammate Diarra sigh:

“I have to say, this wave of cooperation is beautiful! Especially the pass from No. 7, just right!”

Hearing this, Pogba just curled his lips, and then he said directly:

“It’s just pediatrics, I can do it too!”

Although Ling Feng and Pogba are often compared.

However, there are not many similarities between their playing styles and characteristics.

Ling Feng’s playing style is like De Bruyne plus Kaka.

He can make threatening passes like De Bruyne, and can also dribble and break through at high speed like Kaka.

However, under normal circumstances, he mainly uses passes to organize and connect the team’s offense on the field, inserting into the ribs, and then looking for opportunities to send a fatal pass.

Only when the team cannot open up the situation or the opponent is playing a bus, and the passing space is too narrow, he will break through the opponent’s defense through personal breakthroughs, thereby creating opportunities for direct shooting and passing.

Pogba is more like a combination of Pirlo and Zidane.

This “Black Zidane” is tall, but very flexible.

His footwork is very delicate, and his left and right feet are balanced, and he can pass threatening passes.

The ability to protect the ball and get rid of it on the spot is the foundation of his life, just like Zidane.

The vision and passing are like Pirlo.

Although compared with Ling Feng, Pogba does not have the speed to move forward with the ball.

Even after getting rid of his opponent, when facing space, he will not advance with the ball, but choose to pass the ball.

In many cases, Pogba’s passing choices are also creative.

However, compared with Ling Feng, who prefers to pass the ball directly on the ground, he prefers to pass the ball behind him.

This is obviously influenced by Pirlo.

The biggest difference between the two is that compared with Ling Feng’s very crisp and deadly passing, Pogba is more obsessed with his footwork and always likes to show off on the court.

If he is in the frontcourt or on the wing, there is no problem with showing off.

But most of his time is as a midfielder or defensive midfielder.

He gets the ball in his own hinterland, faces the opponent’s pressing, and likes to show off, and then use his footwork to get rid of the opponent’s entanglement.

However, this set of actions is dragging and may delay the opportunity.

Even the opponent grabs the ball and then launches a counterattack in the hinterland!

Therefore, he needs someone around to help him clean up his ass, and then give him enough freedom to perform well.

He is like a performer on the stage, he wants to be the only protagonist under the spotlight.

From the perspective of responsibility and concentration, he is not suitable for playing as a defensive midfielder who needs to do dirty work, and can only play as an offensive central midfielder.

From the perspective of tactical adaptability, Ling Feng is more plug-and-play, and he does not need the team to give him a core position, and he can also play his own characteristics and advantages.

More importantly, his defensive enthusiasm is better than Pogba!

However, even if they have different playing styles and positions.

But the biggest advantage of both of them is that they have a broad vision, can capture fleeting opportunities, and then send accurate passes.

See and pass!

Ling Feng doesn’t even need to look up to observe, and can always grasp the running positions of his teammates and then send passes.

Therefore, the two people with different styles are generally considered by the current football world to be potential candidates for the world’s first midfield in the future!

At the same time, seeing Kane score, the substitutes on the bench all stood up and applauded the team’s goal.

Among them, Rooney also clapped his hands and smiled sincerely.

Then, as if he thought of something, the smile on his face suddenly subsided a little.

In fact, he can score this kind of ball (cake) with certainty!

Then, he looked at Vardy who was celebrating with Ling Feng and Kane with a very envious look.

If he had a passing master like Ling Feng as a teammate in the club and fed every pass to his mouth, he would definitely score a lot of goals.

Thinking of this, Rooney couldn’t help but pray from the bottom of his heart:

If Ling Feng could join Manchester United, it would be great!

. . .

With Kane’s goal, England took the lead at home.

This did not slow down England’s offensive at all, but made it even more fierce!

“Go up!”

“Ali, run to the empty space!”

“Rahim, come and get the ball!”

In Ling Feng’s shouts, England’s frontcourt players also worked very hard to intersperse and run.

On the one hand, Ling Feng is the tactical core of the team, and this scene is not unfamiliar.

On the other hand, of course, it is a rare opportunity to get a starting position. Vardy, Ali, and even Dell are very excited, hoping to impress Hodgson on the sidelines with their performance on the field, so as to get more playing time in the European Cup next year.

In contrast, France, which made a large-scale rotation in this game, had a general understanding between the players, and there were occasional mistakes in passing and cooperation.

So, with the home team fans cheering one after another, England almost pressed France in the half!

Such a scene also made Hodgson and the coaching staff on the sidelines bright.

Until the 38th minute, England once again passed the ball from the left, Vardy broke into the penalty area and completed a low shot, expanding the score to 2-0!

Finally, with a short whistle from the referee, a perfect first half for English fans ended.

“Guys, you performed very well!”

Back in the locker room, Hodgson first praised the players, and then made substitutions:

Replaced Vardy with captain Rooney, and then changed the team’s 4231 formation to 433!

Already leading by two goals, Hodgson planned to take the opportunity to practice the team’s second tactic!

In fact, in this young and middle-aged Three Lions, Rooney’s positioning is very awkward.

In Hodgson’s main 4231 tactical formation, Ling Feng’s position as the core of the frontcourt organization is unshakable.

As long as he is not injured or in very bad condition, Ling Feng will serve as the team’s starting midfielder.

With Kane’s rapid rise, the White Hart Lane striker, known as the “new Shearer”, has basically occupied the main position of center forward.

Compared with the young and hot Kane, Rooney, whose physical function has seriously declined and whose competitive state is low, has no advantage at all.

Even though he plays as a front midfielder in Manchester United, Rooney has never been a number ten player.

In terms of creativity, passing, vision and other abilities, Rooney is far inferior to Ling Feng!

Therefore, in the Three Lions, whether it is the center position or the front midfielder position, Rooney cannot compete with Kane and Ling Feng.

The winger position that requires speed and breakthrough is even more impossible with his current speed and impact.

Therefore, how to arrange Rooney’s position has been a headache for the coaching staff in the past few months.

After Hodgson and the coaching staff had a long time of lineup matching and observation, they finally came up with a good idea:

That is to let Rooney retreat and play as a defensive midfielder!

Because playing as a defensive midfielder, Rooney can avoid his own shortcomings as much as possible, so as to give full play to his ability of long passes and long-range shots from behind.

Just like Gerrard who retreated from the front midfielder to the defensive midfielder.

Giving him a partner with a defensive midfielder with good defensive ability and a large coverage area can also ensure that the defense in the middle is not so fragile.

This may be the most reasonable of all options.

However, as the captain and leader of the national team, Rooney believes that he still has fuel in the tank and can attack the team in the front court and create scoring opportunities.

If he plays as a defensive midfielder, he is too far away from the goal and the chance of scoring is too low.

In this way, he can no longer continue to expand his national team goal record.

Rooney is naturally unwilling to accept such an arrangement.

Hodgson is reluctant to let Kane and Ling Feng be substitutes, and he does not have enough courage to directly start the team’s top player Rooney.

Therefore, he can only settle for the second best and prepare a second tactical formation that can let Ling Feng, Kane and Rooney start at the same time.

Hodgson was inspired by Real Madrid’s tactical formation and also adopted 433!

Ling Feng, Kane and Sterling, the three most outstanding British stars in England, formed a front trident!

Kane is in the middle, Ling Feng is on the left, and Sterling is on the right.

The key to this formation is to move Ling Feng to the left and play as an inverted winger.

With Ling Feng’s first speed in the team, he can completely rely on his personal ability to tear open the opponent’s defense line as a burst point on the wing.

In this set of tactics, Ling Feng’s role in the Three Lions is equivalent to that of Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo!

Blast the ball on the wing, then cut inside to complete a fatal pass or directly attack the goal!

In addition, Sterling, who can also burst on the right wing,

Trin, so as to achieve both wings flying together!

Then let Rooney play as a left midfielder. As a midfield organizer, he can control the team’s offensive rhythm through long passes.

He can also frequently come to the middle when Ling Feng is on the side, participate in the attack, and wait for an opportunity to insert and complete the shot.

Rooney is happy to accept this arrangement.

After all, he also knows himself.

He knows that his physical condition has declined and he is no longer the little tank that rushed around.

If he wants to continue to gain a foothold in Manchester United and the Three Lions, he must transform!

And he is also very clear that if the team wants to make a breakthrough or even a good result in the upcoming European Cup, the team must rely on talented young players such as Ling Feng, Kane, and Ali.

However, he hopes that he, the captain and leader of the team, can help the team on the field, instead of just sitting on the bench and watching Ling Feng and Kane and others win.

In Rooney’s view, it would be best if he could start and fight side by side with excellent teammates such as Ling Feng and Kane.

Hodgson’s tactical formation and arrangement can just ensure this!

In the second half, as the team changed its formation, Ling Feng moved to the left, and the three midfielders also changed to parallel positions.

Dale, whose main task is to defend and intercept, was in the middle, slightly behind, and was considered a defensive midfielder.

Rooney and Ali were separated on the left and right, and their roles belonged to the left and right central midfielders.

Although it seems that the midfield has changed from two defensive midfielders to three midfielders, and the number of people has increased.

However, the defense of the midfield is not as stable as the two defensive midfielders in 4231.

Originally, the 433 formation has very high requirements for the three midfielders.

All-out attack and defense, both to join in the attack and to return to defense and intercept.

Because Rooney and Ali have a strong desire to attack, they often press forward to attack.

After the two press forward, the midfield space is too large.

Once the frontcourt was intercepted, the opponent launched a quick counterattack, Rooney and Ali could not return to defense immediately, and England’s midfielder was left with only Dale, a defensive midfielder, to protect the defense behind him.

At that time, the entire midfield would be lost!

After observing for a few minutes, Deschamps on the sidelines quickly discovered the key problem of this formation.

Substitutions were made immediately!

Replace Matuidi with Pogba, who has better passing and advancing abilities, and replace Martial, who was mediocre, with Griezmann, who has excellent off-ball and breakthrough abilities.

These two substitutions were effective immediately!

Just ten minutes later, France seized an opportunity to counterattack:

First, French left-back Digne intercepted Sterling in the backcourt and passed the ball to Pogba in the middle immediately.

Pogba, who took the ball with his back, easily passed Rooney who was stealing with a chic Marseille turn.

At this moment, England only had Dale as the only player left in the huge midfield.

While Dale was hesitating whether to continue retreating or rushing forward, Pogba took the lead in making a reasonable decision!

He did not advance with the ball, but looked up to observe the running position of his teammates in front of him, and then sent a soul-stirring long pass to Kingsley Coman who was inserting at high speed on the right without hesitation.

The latter accelerated and inserted from behind England’s left-back Gibbs. After stopping the ball steadily, he directly passed the ball to the front of the penalty area with a triangle.

Griezmann, who had just come on as a substitute, completed the outflanking, swung his legs and swept the ball into the goal guarded by Bertrand!

The whole counterattack process was smooth and directly penetrated the entire midfield of England!

After completing the assist, Pogba put on an indifferent look and just spread his hands.

He also deliberately glanced at Ling Feng who was returning to the left to defend near the midline, and then raised his chin to him contemptuously.

Seeing this, Ling Feng just raised his eyebrows, and a barely perceptible sneer rose at the corner of his mouth.

Like Pogba, he also looked down on this famous “team cancer” and “giant baby” in football.

Both are representative figures of “world-class below the brain”, Balotelli is much cuter than Pogba.

Balotelli is just brainless, not a bad person.

But Pogba is too cunning, too bad!

What backstabbing the head coach, asking a wizard to curse teammates

You are just a jerk!

Why are you pretending in front of me? !

Thinking of this, Ling Feng decided to teach him a lesson!

A few minutes later, Sterling made a mistake in his cross pass to Kane, and was cleared by Varane and came to the feet of French midfielder Kabaye.

The latter looked up and handed the ball to Pogba who raised his hand in front of him without hesitation before Rooney pounced on him.

Pogba again

The first time he got the ball in the midfield!

Fortunately, Ali, who was not far away, immediately stepped forward to interfere and prevented him from passing the ball smoothly.

However, in front of the tall and long-legged Pogba, the fledgling Ali was obviously not good enough.

Just as the Juventus golden boy used his long legs and footwork to get rid of Ali’s entanglement, looked up and was about to pass the ball, something strange happened!

A white figure suddenly flew past him!

In an instant, Pogba’s black face suddenly showed a look of surprise, “What?!”

Before he could react, the person stretched out his leg and poked, cleanly breaking the ball under his feet!

Then, Pogba could only watch him turn around and then move forward quickly with the ball.

It was not until this time that he saw clearly that behind the white figure, there was a big “7” printed!
