Chapter 277
The new season is coming.
Chapter 277 England’s Platinum Generation? Haha
The Foxes are making great strides in the league, winning consecutive games, which has attracted close attention from the English football world and even the European football world.
So, Sky Sports specially conducted a fan interview, interviewing fans of various teams in major cities in England, asking them about their views on this season’s Premier League champion.
Most fans do not think that Leicester City can win the championship, and believe that the championship will be among Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and other teams.
Even the Foxes fans do not think that the team has the strength to win the championship.
At most, they think that the team can reach the top four and qualify for the Champions League next season.
Of course, there are also very few fans who think that Leicester City has the ability to do something special this season.
For example, William, the manager of the “Fox Club”, a loyal fan organization of Leicester City!
In an interview with Sky Sports, this loyal fan of the Foxes since birth said seriously:
“Remember my words, we will win the championship this season!”
Then, he took out the betting slip he carried with him and waved it to the camera:
“Look, I also bet one hundred pounds that the Foxes will win the championship!”
When the reporter asked him why he was so confident, William pulled out the jersey with Ling Feng’s autograph and replied:
“I believe in Ling Feng, he will never let us down!”
“Go ahead, Foxes!”
If this interview ends here, it will be a precious image of a loyal fan’s unconditional support and trust in the team.
But at this time, his good brother Bob, who was standing by and being interviewed with him, exposed him in front of the camera:
“Don’t listen to this guy’s nonsense. He made a bet with me last season. He planned to bet 100 pounds every year on Leicester City to win the championship until the team really won the Premier League championship!”
Although it was just a bet with a friend, he didn’t think the team could really win the championship.
However, they are willing to bet 100 pounds every year on the team to win the championship. They are indeed the most loyal fans of Leicester City!
You know, Leicester City only returned to the Premier League after a lapse of ten years last year!
Winning the championship?
How easy is that!
It is worth mentioning that the British people’s obsession with gambling can be compared with the Chinese people’s obsession with eating!
In addition to sports such as football, there are many magical single-item betting methods in large and small gambling companies, such as “Justin Bieber was elected as the President of the United States”, “Elvis is not dead but just living in seclusion in the mountains”, “Can Leo win an Oscar”, etc.
Take Leicester City’s summer scandal and coaching change as an example. The bookmakers also opened corresponding bets such as “Will Pearson be fired?”, “Who will be the new Foxes coach?”, “Will Ling Feng leave Leicester City this summer?”, etc.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is nothing that is not betted in England!
And this very interesting interview, after it was broadcast, also attracted the attention of the Foxes fan group.
Many Foxes fans posted their betting slips on social media.
Many Foxes fans actually did the same thing as William!
Some bet five pounds, some bet ten pounds, and some bet twenty pounds
And a large bookmaker also broke the news, and even someone bet fifty thousand pounds, betting that Leicester City will win the championship this year!
You know, Leicester City’s winning odds are two hundred times.
In other words, once Leicester City really wins the championship, these fifty thousand pounds will become ten million pounds!
Ling Feng, who learned about this incident through the comments of fans, also @ed Big William on his social media account, and then tweeted:
“Guys, I will work hard to prevent you from losing money!”
Just after sending a tweet on his mobile phone, Ling Feng heard the voice of a female assistant next to him:
“Boss, don’t forget that you also bet 50,000 pounds yourself”
Hearing this, Ling Feng immediately corrected:
“It’s not my 50,000 pounds, but your other boss’s 50,000 pounds!”
Yes.
The only “fan” who bet 50,000 pounds on Leicester City to win the championship this season was Ling Feng himself.
However, it was not him who bet, but his agent Mendes.
As a professional player, there is a clear rule that he cannot participate in any form of gambling.
So, in order to avoid getting himself into trouble, he also specially asked Mendes to bet.
After all, there is no
The regulations state that player agents cannot place bets.
Moreover, this kind of betting method, which is not betting on the win or loss of a single game, but only betting on which team will win the championship, does not have the possibility of manipulating the game at all.
The Premier League will play 38 rounds. It is impossible to manipulate a Premier League team to win the championship!
Even the English Football Association only made some scripts in the key battle of the championship.
If there is no hard power to become a championship competitor, no one can help Leicester City win the championship.
Therefore, as long as Ling Feng himself is not involved, even if all his family and friends have bought Leicester City to win the championship, the bookmaker can’t do anything to him.
It is worth mentioning that when Mendes heard Ling Feng’s request for him to place a bet, Mendes thought it was just a means for Ling Feng to motivate himself, so he readily agreed.
Little did he know that Ling Feng was full of confidence and certainty in whether he could lead the team to win the championship!
In his opinion, this is a profitable business.
Moreover, there will be no such shop after this village!
. . .
As October approaches, Leicester City officially enters a two-front battle mode.
In the second round of the Europa League group stage, Leicester City welcomed the Swiss team Sion at home.
Considering that the opponent in the next round of the Premier League is the newly promoted “Canary”, which is relatively weak, rotation is possible.
Moreover, the sooner they qualify from the Europa League group, the more advantageous it will be for them to rotate the lineup and arrange the troops in the second half of the season.
Therefore, in this game, Ranieri only let Vardy take a break, and the rest of the main players all appeared.
In front of the Premier League top team, the small Sion had no power to fight back.
The score of five to one can be described as a hearty victory!
The day after defeating Sion, the team went to Carrow Road Stadium in Norfolk in the east to face the Premier League newly promoted “Canary” Norwich.
Except for Vardy, who was rested in the last game and continued to challenge the league’s consecutive goal record, Ling Feng, Mahrez, Morgan and other main players all sat on the bench.
However, the start of the game was not as smooth as expected.
Just fifteen minutes after the start, Norwich, who played at home, took advantage of the opportunity of a corner kick and hit the substitutes of Leicester City through a melee in front of the goal.
However, the team did not lose its composure because of this.
Just ten minutes later, Vardy received a long pass from Maguire in the backcourt, broke into the penalty area and created a penalty.
And the most popular shooter in the Premier League stood at the twelve-yard spot and scored this penalty steadily.
In addition to raising his consecutive goal record to eight rounds, he also helped the team equalize the score.
In the second half, after having understood the strength and tactics of Norwich’s players, the Blue Foxes pressed forward without hesitation.
Finally, with Andy King’s shot in front of the goal, the Foxes won the game away from home without any danger.
After a season of training, not only the main players of the team have grown rapidly, but even the substitutes have gained higher-level game experience.
Coupled with the targeted reinforcements in the summer, the team’s substitute lineup also has the strength to defeat the Premier League relegation team!
This game also allowed many people to see the stability of Leicester City against small and medium-sized teams.
Although the league is long, it is often some details that determine the championship.
For example, win the game that should be won and defeat opponents who are weaker than themselves!
However, the day after the Foxes won the historic eight-game winning streak in the league, a heavy news grabbed the headlines of major media:
Liverpool Club officially announced that head coach Rogers was fired!
After coaching Liverpool for three and a half years, Rogers’ coaching is remarkable.
Although he was only one step away from the championship, he also inspired Suarez in his strongest state.
However, the Red Army’s performance in the past two seasons has plummeted.
Last season, they only finished seventh in the league and missed the European competition.
This season, in the first eight rounds of the league, the Reds achieved three wins, three draws and two losses, with 12 points, ranking only tenth in the league.
Twelve points away from the top Leicester City!
The summer window was strengthened, but the start was not good, which was the main reason for Rogers’ dismissal.
And Rogers also became the second Premier League coach to be dismissed this season after Sunderland’s Advocaat.
According to media reports, Ancelotti, who was fired by Real Madrid last season, and Klopp, the former Dortmund coach who was unemployed at home, are the biggest favorites to take over Liverpool.
Many Red Army fans were surprised by the team’s sudden decision to change coaches and were confused about the team’s prospects.
However, at this moment, perhaps only Ling Feng knew that Liverpool
Spurs are about to welcome a coach who will lead them back to the top.
The Premier League next year will only be more exciting and intense!
And where will be their next stop? It will take a long time to decide.
. . .
In early October, the international match day came again.
Ling Feng, who returned to the Three Lions, also ushered in the last two rounds of the European qualifiers.
Since they have already qualified in advance, and the opponents are underdogs such as Estonia and Lithuania.
So in the remaining two games, Hodgson also used new players to examine candidates for next year’s European Cup.
However, Ling Feng, as the tactical core, started in both games for 60 minutes and was replaced.
And the one who replaced him was Tottenham superstar Dele Alli.
Ali’s rise in the Premier League is comparable to Ling Feng’s debut on the Premier League stage last year.
His outstanding performance in the Premier League has earned him the appreciation of Hodgson and completed the small achievement of skipping the national youth team and directly entering the adult national team.
The last person to achieve this achievement was Ling Feng last year!
Ling Feng, Kane, Sterling, Ali, these young British stars who have made a name for themselves in the Premier League, have made many British media full of expectations for the future prospects of the Three Lions.
Some media even boasted directly to attract attention:
“After the golden generation of Beckham, Owen, De Bruyne, Ferdinand and others left the stage, the British football world ushered in the platinum generation headed by Ling Feng, Kane and other players!”
Ling Feng just smiled and said nothing, but he was laughing in his heart.
He has a deep understanding of the British media’s ability to hype and create momentum.
In his opinion, let alone surpassing the players of England’s golden generation, among the so-called “platinum generation” players listed by the media, there are only three and a half people who can really start in the luxurious lineup of England’s golden generation.
One is Ling Feng, one is Kane, and one is Walker.
The other half is Sterling.
It’s not to underestimate Sterling, but he is still strong when he is unhappy!
After a short international match day, Ling Feng, who returned to the club, witnessed another milestone moment of Vardy’s career:
Vardy, who scored four goals in three games in September, defeated his teammate Ling Feng, Manchester United’s French star Martial, and West Ham United midfielder Payet, and won the first Premier League Player of the Month in his career!
Unfortunately, even if he led the team to three consecutive wins in September, “tinker” Ranieri once again missed the award of the best coach of the month.
There is no other reason, just because the team that won three consecutive wins in September is not only Leicester City, but also Manchester United and Tottenham.
Among them, Tottenham defeated Manchester City, which is currently ranked second in the league, with a 4-1 victory at home.
Considering the strength of the opponent, Tottenham coach Pochettino finally won the award of the best coach of September.
For this, Leicester City fans are very fortunate, but Tottenham fans can’t laugh anymore.
However, even though they escaped the “curse” of the best coach of the month, Leicester City still encountered a tough battle in the first league game in October, away against Southampton.
This season, Southampton sent away midfielder Snyderlin and winger Klein.
However, the team introduced Romeu and Cedric, quickly integrated into the team system, and well filled the vacancies of the two main players leaving the team.
Especially in the central defender position, the Dutch central defender Van Dijk signed from Celtic quickly became the backbone of the team’s defense.
This future “world’s No. 1 defender”, although he debuted in the Premier League, is a little immature.
But in this game, the defense line led by him still caused a lot of trouble for Vardy and Ling Feng.
Perhaps because they were very afraid of Leicester City’s quick counterattack, Southampton was very cautious in attacking.
And in the away game, Leicester City did not take the initiative to attack, and could only attack from the opponent.
This led to a very dull first half, with both sides mostly fighting in the midfield for the ball, and no goals were scored.
It was not until the second half that Southampton woke up from their dream and began to strengthen their attack.
However, this was exactly what Leicester City wanted!
It was with the quick counterattack after the interception that Ling Feng sent a surgical through ball to help Vardy break into the penalty area and score his twelfth goal of the season!
However, before Leicester City could be happy for too long, Southampton launched a wave of fierce attacks in the frontcourt and got a lot of opportunities for corner kicks in the frontcourt.
It was also with a corner kick opportunity that Van Dijk showed his header ability and smashed the ball into the goal guarded by Schmeichel.
In the end, Leicester City won at St. Mary’s.
The team only had one draw.
The team’s winning streak was also fixed at eight games.
