It is reported that the head coach of the national football team, Perrin, is observing Lin Mo. There are rumors that Lin Mo's membership has been transferred to the Macau Football Association.……"
……
Before this knockout match, it was a carnival for the Korean media. They made a big fanfare, and almost the entire nation watched the game, hoping that Son Heung-min could beat Lin Mo.
The result made them completely silent.
Lin Mo's performance simply crushed the whole audience, and Son Heung-min's light could not compete with the bright moon.
The previous remarks of the West Eight netizens all turned into boomerangs and hit them hard on the head.
Domestic netizens were even unreasonable and sent their own screenshots back to hurt themselves.
Things like"Lin Mo relies on his teammates","Son Heung-min is known as Ronaldo","Son Heung-min beats Lin Mo", looking back, they are all jokes.
"God Lin said 3:0, it means 3:0!"
"Xiao Xiba is screaming!"
"Who is the Asian one? Speak up!"
Faced with the ridicule of Chinese netizens, the netizens in the West Eight could only play dead.
Expecting Leverkusen to turn the tables in the second round away game?
Anyone who has watched the game has given up hope.
The netizens in the island country were gloating over the misfortune and turned to ridicule the netizens in the West Eight.
"Lin Jun is indeed the best in Asia, this is a recognized fact"
"Putting aside Park Ji-sung's Premier League and Champions League titles, Lin Mo has surpassed him in terms of influence now."
"He has a chance to win the league this season, but it's a little hard for him to win the Europa League. But if he wins the Premier League, he is indeed the strongest player in Asia."
"Judging from current performance and future achievements, Lin is a hexagonal warrior, terribly strong!"
"The Great Wall of China, the Azure Dragon, too terrifying!"
Since Lin Mo often uses the ultimate move [Lost Angel of Sword Saint Lancelot] to complete world waves, many Japanese fans have given this move a rather childish name"Azure Dragon", describing his shooting power as terrifying as a dragon.
Lin Mo's [Flame Tornado] was also dug out by Japanese fans, and compared frame by frame with Goenji in"Inazuma Eleven".
As a result, Lin Mo, as a Chinese player, has become more popular among Japanese fans!
Stars such as Shinji Kagawa, Shinji Okazaki, and Takashi Inui are currently less popular than Lin Mo from China!
There are even female stars who confessed their love for Lin Mo.
In a Japanese variety show, Hashimoto Kaneki publicly stated:
"What is your favorite football star? Let me think... Emmm Van Bommel! I am a fan of the Orange Army... Ah, Smith Marseille! If you are still playing, it must be Lin Mojun, he plays football so beautifully and he is also very handsome!"
……
Lin Mo didn't even know that the"Asian No. 1 Battle" between Chinese netizens and Western Eight netizens had made him famous in the island country.
He was no longer able to care about these off-field topics, because after the away knockout game, they took a plane back to England in a hurry that night.
After getting off the plane in London, he had to rush to Liverpool.
The 26th round of the Premier League, Everton vs. Leicester City, was just three days later!
Lin Mo, Mahrez, Wes Morgan, Schmeichel, Rich De Laet, Paul Gallagher, these players have to play two games a week, or even three games a week!
As the core of the team, Lin Mo played 90 minutes in every game and was not replaced!
Last season, Lin Mo's physical fitness was still a big problem. He felt very uncomfortable after 60 minutes. (To read the violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
After the physical reserve before the season this season, and his continuous increase in points, his physical fitness is enough to cope with the fast-paced 90-minute competition in the Premier League.
However, playing three games a week, coupled with frequent use of special moves, still makes the physical strength a bit too much.
Facing games that are not too stressful, Lin Mo basically adopts the"energy-saving" kicking method (beai), and uses passive skills as much as possible to strengthen his strength.
He rarely uses the moves [Z-shaped Cut], [Flame Tornado], and [Zero-degree Angle Shooting] that consume too much physical energy.
As for the special move [Flame Shooting], Lin Mo has not even had the chance to use it.
There is no need to wait until the desperate situation, he and the team have been able to win.
From a strategic perspective, it is more important to save physical energy to continue the next game, and multiple goals are also icing on the cake.
Therefore, [Flame Shooting] is still Lin Mo's trump card.
If the opponent studies him too thoroughly, or the team is in a desperate situation and needs a goal to turn the tide, Lin Mo's [Flame Shooting] will give everyone a surprise!
In the away game against Everton in the 25th round of the Premier League, Leicester City's defensive counterattack was still stable, and Everton could not break through their defense.
After Brother Drinking Water returned, he served as Lin Mo's right-hand man and always escorted him from behind.
[]
Lin Mo can then move forward with confidence and cooperate with his teammates to create goals.
In the first and second half, Leicester City, which had only 35% of the ball possession, found one chance each.
Lin Mo made two key through passes, assisting Mahrez and Shinji Okazaki to score.
Leicester City defeated Everton 0:2 away, and defeated the Toffees twice this season.
Mahrez is still stable. As long as Lin Mo makes a fatal through pass, he can seize the opportunity.
Shinji Okazaki's goal was full of luck.
Lin Mo passed the ball behind him, and Shinji Okazaki had a single shot. He shot and hit Everton goalkeeper Howard's chest, and the rebound hit his knee directly.
Before Shinji Okazaki could react, the ball had been knocked into the goal by his knee.
He finally scored his first goal since joining Leicester City.
Lin Mo was also impressed by this teammate who was not able to understand the cake.
It is estimated that head coach Ranieri also values Shinji Okazaki's active defense, excellent confrontation, and flexible positioning, and uses him as a tool.
It doesn't matter if the shot is not scored or the technique is crude, anyway, there are Lin Mo and Polo King as the main C, otherwise there is no reason for Okazaki Shinji to appear on the field
……
After defeating Everton away, the Leicester City team returned to their home ground without stopping.
After 4 days, Leverkusen will visit the King Power Stadium again for the second round of the Europa League knockout match.
In fact, the score of 0:3 in the first round has already made Leverkusen lose all morale.
They are not Liverpool, who can beat Barcelona 4:0 after falling behind 0:3.
Leverkusen played without any rules in the second round. Everyone was anxious to equalize the score.
The more anxious they were, the more likely they were to miss opportunities and ignore the cooperation with their teammates.
This led to Leicester City's defense without any pressure.
They continued to use the"energy-saving" style of play and counterattacked steadily in the backcourt.
In the second half, Lin Mo sent another assist and Mahrez scored a single shot.
It was exactly the same as the goal in the first round, even the running route was exactly the same, it was simply copied from r1+C.
Following the"Limmer-Vardy" connection, the"Limmer-Mahrez" connection has also become a regular weapon for Leicester City!
If Vardy returns, the"Limmer-Vardy-Mahrez" triangle will be complete!
Unfortunately, Vardy is still recovering at home.
Leicester City is about to face one of the stronger opponents this season, Manchester City, which is currently ranked third!
Before the game started, Chelsea had already visited London and defeated the Hammers 1:0 to continue leading the standings!
If Leicester City loses to Manchester City, they will fall behind Chelsea! In the championship race, they are completely passive!
Manchester City also has a reason to win!
At present, Manchester City is 4 points behind Leicester City and 8 points behind Chelsea, who has played one more game.
If they beat Leicester City, Manchester City will only be 1 point away from Leicester City and only 4 away from the championship! Return to the championship team!
In this game, they are at the Etihad and have a greater psychological advantage.
The two sides are on the verge of a fight and are about to fight to the death on the road to the championship!
Even De Bruyne, who is usually not good at speaking, couldn't help but stand up and say:
"We will win, we will win. I will do my best to defeat Lin Mo."
