Chapter 252: Fifth in the league! The best record in team history!
Beep~beep~beep~beep~
With the referee’s long whistle, all the players on both sides who were running on the field stopped abruptly.
The scoreboard at the King Power Stadium was fixed at 2-0.
The home team was in front and the away team was behind.
Without any surprise, Leicester City easily defeated the relegated Queens Park Rangers at home, and ended the season with a victory.
At the same time, another game between Manchester United and Hull City also ended.
The Red Devils won Hull City 0-1 away, and finally kept their Champions League qualification.
As soon as the game ended, Vardy immediately ran to the sidelines and asked the coach about the result of Manchester United’s game.
After getting a disappointing answer, he couldn’t help but curl his lips.
At this time, Foxes coach Pearson came to his side and put his arm around his shoulders:
“Don’t think too much, we have performed well enough!”
“Let’s go! Let’s celebrate!”
Although the team failed to overtake Manchester United at the last moment.
However, from the moment the initiative to compete for the top four was handed over to Manchester United, they could only do their best and leave it to fate.
Therefore, it is a pity and pity that the team failed to break into the top four of the league and qualify for the Champions League.
But the Foxes fans who filled the stadium still gave the team and the players the warmest applause.
And under the applause of the fans and the comfort of the coach, the Foxes also smiled.
As a newly promoted team that was not favored by everyone, it was already very remarkable to end the season in the fifth place in the league.
You know, before the start of the season, their odds of reaching the top six were 1:3000!
That is to say, if you bet one pound on them reaching the top six, you can win three thousand pounds.
A full three thousand times odds!
And fifth place in the league is already Leicester City’s best Premier League record since its establishment 131 years ago!
Such a record is enough to make Pearson and every Blue Fox player’s name engraved in the history of the Blue Fox!
Although this season finished the season in fifth place in the league, missing the precious opportunity to go to the Champions League stage next year.
However, Ling Feng personally did not feel regretful or pity, but felt that this ranking was just right!
Because his goal next season is to help the Blue Fox win the Premier League championship!
For Leicester City, it is not a good thing if they get a ticket to the Champions League this season.
With Leicester City’s current player strength and lineup depth, even if they make a lot of signings in the summer window, they cannot cope with the Champions League and the league at the same time, and it is easy to fall into the quagmire of fighting on two fronts.
In short, the water in the Champions League is too deep for the Foxes to grasp!
There are many strong teams in the Champions League, and opportunities are rare. The club and players must want to seize the opportunity and perform well in the Champions League.
And if they want to win in the Champions League, they must send out their main players.
Regardless of winning or losing, the main players need to rest after playing in the Champions League, and the league can only be rotated.
If they rotate, the team’s strength will decline and the probability of losing will increase.
In this way, the league results will inevitably be seriously affected!
On the contrary, playing in the Europa League will be more beneficial for Leicester City to compete for the league championship next year.
Most of the opponents in the Europa League are still one level weaker than those in the Champions League.
Moreover, rotation can also be carried out appropriately, and the substitute players have a relative playing time, which is also a good thing for the atmosphere in the locker room.
Ling Feng remembers very clearly that when the football experts of later generations analyzed why the Foxes were able to create an unprecedented miracle in the 2015-16 Premier League season, they listed many reasons.
A very important reason is that the Foxes only need to deal with the single-line battle in the league!
Other championship rivals need to fight on two fronts, and various problems have arisen.
However, this season, because of his presence, the Foxes still won the fifth place in the league under the situation of fighting on two fronts.
And next season, if the team makes appropriate signings as in history, even under the double-line battle, Ling Feng has the confidence to lead the team to hit the Premier League and Europa League championships!
Originally, the Foxes won the Premier League without him.
Now, with me, if the Foxes fail to win the Premier League next season, it will definitely be my fault!
And what he has to do is
, is to make sure that he does not take the blame!
While thinking, Ling Feng did not forget to find Lin Huang who was on loan and gave him a big hug:
“Jesse, well done!”
“Thank you.”
“This should be your last game in a blue jersey.”
Ling Feng knew very well that Lingard, as a youth player of the Red Devils, would not be in Leicester City in the future.
Even if he asked him to stay, he might not stay.
After all, the reason why he was loaned to Leicester City was not to get enough playing time and then return to Manchester United? !
And his performance this season is absolutely remarkable.
As long as Van Gaal is not blind or prejudiced against Lingard, there will definitely be a place for Lin Huang in the Manchester United lineup next season!
So, this game is equivalent to the last game of Lin Huang wearing the Blue Fox jersey.
Hearing Ling Feng’s words, Lingard was slightly stunned, and then his mood suddenly dropped.
“Yes, I’m going back. But I won’t forget my time here!”
After a pause, Lingard suddenly said with a serious face:
“Thank you, Ling. Thank you for helping me adapt to everything here, and thank you for passing the ball to me. If it weren’t for you, I might not be able to do a lot of things.”
Also in his first Premier League season, Lingard’s personal performance is far inferior to Ling Feng.
However, he still scored seven goals and made six assists in 26 league appearances!
It is worth mentioning that six of the goals were assisted by Ling Feng.
And five of the six assists were assisted by him to Ling Feng!
Such an excellent performance, coupled with such a connection with Ling Feng, also made many media and English celebrities call on Hodgson to give this young man who never stops running on the field a chance.
Of course, in his position, he has to face competition from wingers such as Walcott, Welbeck, Townsend, and Barkley.
If he continues to stay in Leicester City and play with Ling Feng, he may get more playing time, better personal data, and thus be called up to the national team.
However, for Lin Huang, who is eager to return home, Leicester City is just a springboard for his short break, and Manchester United is his home.
Faced with Lingard’s somewhat sensational gratitude, Ling Feng smiled slightly, punched Lin Huang in the chest, and joked:
“Next season, we will be opponents. When the time comes, I will not show mercy!”
“Don’t worry, I will also do my best!”
As soon as the voice fell, the two smiled at each other.
In just one year, the two have forged a deep friendship.
After saying goodbye to Lin Huang, Ling Feng also came to another loaned player Maguire.
Unlike Lingard, Maguire has a chance to stay.
Maguire’s parent team Hull City has been relegated this season.
It is clear which choice is better, going back to Hull City to play in the Championship or staying in Leicester City to play in the Premier League.
Moreover, Maguire’s transfer fee will not be high, and his strength and potential are good, which is a very good supplement for the team’s defense.
With his current position in the club, if he mentions it to the head coach, the club will definitely be very willing to keep Maguire.
In Ling Feng’s opinion, Maguire must be very willing to stay.
Therefore, he is not in a hurry to mention this to Maguire or the head coach.
After hugging Maguire and exchanging a few pleasantries, he went straight to Ferdinand, who had completed the last game of his career, and sent the most sincere blessings to the English star:
“Leo, congratulations on your retirement!”
The two hugged each other, and Ferdinand also smiled:
“Haha, thank you very much. Being able to play against a talented player like you in the last game is also a good retirement gift.”
“After all, I won’t have the opportunity to compete with players of your level in the future.”
After a pause, Ferdinand’s eyes turned, and he suddenly asked: “Ling, do you want to play for Manchester United?”
After this, Ling Feng’s expression did not change at all.
Because this is the first time that he has recruited his opponent’s players for the team after the game.
Especially the predecessors of England, Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham and others, almost all asked!
As the current British star and the core of the Three Lions midfield, which Premier League giants would not be greedy?
However, Ling Feng had already prepared for this situation.
He smiled slightly, spread his hands, and replied meaningfully:
“Who knows what will happen in the future?”
…
He went to various
After thanking the audience in front of the stands, Ling Feng also welcomed a memorable moment in his career.
That is the award ceremony for the Premier League assist king!
Standing in front of an official Premier League background board, Ling Feng received the Premier League assist king trophy from the Premier League staff.
This award can be said to have been born in advance because of him.
Moreover, this is the first Premier League assist king he won by breaking Henry’s assist record.
The gold content and commemorative value are both full!
Now, there is another “resident” in the display cabinet in the villa.
Just as Ling Feng took a photo with the trophy, all the fans at the King Power Stadium stood up and gave the most sincere applause to the club’s favorite.
At the same time, under the leadership of the diehard fan group “Fox Club” Big William and Bob and others, the fans in the stadium shouted “MVP”
This is to defend him for losing to Hazard in the PFA best player competition.
In the hearts of thousands of Blue Fox fans, Ling Feng this season is the well-deserved Premier League best!
Facing the support of the fans, Ling Feng just waved to the fans in the stands with a smile on his face, and patted the team badge on his chest to respond to his love for the team and the fans.
After saying goodbye to the fans, Ling Feng returned to the interview area in the player tunnel and accepted a post-match interview with Sky Sports:
“Ling, first of all, congratulations on becoming the Premier League assist king this season. You deserve it.”
“Thank you.”
“Let’s talk about this season? Before the season started, did you think the team would end up in this place?”
“Of course not, but I never doubted for a moment whether the team could gain a foothold in the Premier League.”
“This season has been a dream season for me and the team.”
“Thank you very much for the full support of the club, teammates and fans. It is because of these people that I can go all out on the court and help the ball The team won the victory”
“Ling, this is your first season in the Premier League. If you were asked to rate yourself, how many points would you give yourself out of ten?”
Pretending to think for a while in front of the camera, Ling Feng immediately replied:
“Well, I would give myself eight points.”
“Oh, why only eight points? You know, many people think that your performance this season is perfect.”
“Because I’m afraid I’m too proud! So I left two points, and also left myself room for further improvement.”
After leaving such an answer, Ling Feng left, leaving only some reporters who were still unsatisfied, thinking about the meaning of this sentence.
That night, in the most luxurious hotel in Leicester, the club organized an awards dinner.
At the dinner, Ling Feng was undisputedly elected as the best player of the season in the team.
The prize was a seven-day luxury tour for two people in Thailand.
The entire journey was paid for by the travel group behind the club owner!
However, for Ling Feng, whose net worth has exceeded 10 million, this little money is not worth mentioning.
At the dinner, everyone was very happy.
On the one hand, the team’s performance this season exceeded expectations, and they also received the high bonus promised by the club owner;
On the other hand, they were busy for a season and finally had a rare holiday!
So that night, including Ling Feng, everyone was drunk.
Lingard even cried while drinking while hugging Ling Feng, who looked helpless.
He didn’t forget to say:
“Wuwuwu Ling. Wuwuwu. In the future, you won’t pass the ball to me. Wuwuwu. What should I do? Wuwuwu.”
This scene was photographed by Vardy and posted online.
Under the ridicule and spoofs of the fans, this photo became a black history of Lin Huang and a witness to their friendship.
The next day, while Ling Feng was still lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, major media magazines and newspapers began to summarize the season.
This season, two teams performed the best, and their season ratings were both the highest level A.
One team was Chelsea, which won the championship.
Under the leadership of the “madman” Mourinho, Chelsea is not only impregnable on the defensive end, but also completely new on the offensive end compared to last season.
The “Facco connection” formed by Fabregas and Costa killed through England, and “London’s only shooting king” Hazard also played peak data, turning into a natural madman.
The Blues have been strong since the start of the season, almost killing gods and Buddhas.
In addition to winning the championship three rounds in advance, they also set a new record of leading the Premier League standings for 272 days!
The other team is the promoted team that reached the quarterfinals of the Europa League and the top six of the league as a super dark horse, creating the best record in team history
Marest City!
