Chapter 61: The battle for the top spot in the Premier League!

After New Year's Eve, the fixtures that started in January 2016 were very difficult for Tottenham.

They have to play in the league and juggle the FA Cup.

And whether it's a league or a cup competition, the first opponent is Leicester City!

Leicester City have been too fierce this season.

In the league, they are just two points behind Tottenham Hotspur and sit second in the table.

Leicester City must have an idea for this season, they have already had such a good result, and they are adding to the desire to keep the trophy at the King Power Stadium, which is the idea of the Leicester City players.

But Tottenham Hotspur will certainly not say yes, and they are equally eager to look forward to the Premier League trophy.

It's an honor they don't have!

Now that Tottenham have won the halfway game, they will have to continue that momentum and they will not compromise on anything.

......

On January 10, the third round of the FA Cup started, Tottenham vs Leicester City.

The game was particularly intense, but both sides were clumsy about each other.

Tottenham did not start their midfield centre, after all, for Tottenham, their most important competition is still the Europa League and the league.

Leicester City, on the other hand, are rebuilding momentum for the league, so N'Golo Kante is also absent from midfield.

Both sides are missing the core of the squad.

But this does not mean that the game is not good-looking, but the scramble is particularly ferocious.

For Leicester City, Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez are in great form, relying on their breakthroughs to put a lot of pressure on Tottenham's backline.

Tottenham, on the other hand, are also-for-tat.

Harry. Kane and Son Heung-min also use color.

The two sides played back and forth, which can be called a big offensive drama.

In the full 90 minutes, the two teams broke out with seven goals.

In the end, Leicester City lost to Tottenham and lost the game 3:4.

Throughout the game, Elkeson's performance was extremely impressive, he was not confused, but played extremely aggressively.

This was a huge delight for Tottenham fans.

Their midfield two cores are in good form, and although Elkeson hasn't been able to play with the dominance of Yile, he hasn't been invisible again against Leicester City.

......

After the FA Cup ties, the Tottenham players returned to training as they continued their preparations for the league.

Their opponents in the round of 20 are still Leicester City.

And it's a fully integrated Leicester City, and Tottenham are not afraid of that.

That said, Leicester City didn't focus too much on the FA Cup, and N'Golo Kante didn't start.

But equally, Tottenham's midfield core Yi Le also did not play.

In terms of potential combat effectiveness, the two teams are tied.

The focus of both teams is on the league, so the 20 rounds to be played right away are the main play.

4 days later, at White Hart Lane, Tottenham Hotspur hosted Leicester City!

"It's a good match, a head-to-head clash between the first and second in the Premier League, and the outcome of this game will determine the top spot." Zhan said: "Judging by the performance in the FA Cup, Mahrez and Jamie Vardy are in good shape. But for this game, we still need to look at the midfield encounter, Yile VS Kante, which is the key to this game. ”

"That's right!" Director Zhang Lu also nodded: "In Leicester City's own style of play, we can see the shadow of Italy's chain defense, but in terms of attack, it emphasizes the English style of long passing, speaking of this team, it can be said that they are a team that plays defensive counterattacks." Their goal concedance rate and steal rate this season are extremely high, and Kante, a player who is only 1.68 meters tall, has been praised by the media as the 'unpassable Kante'. They can call it the strongest shield! ”

"As for Tottenham, I believe I don't need to say more, fans and friends also know very well, what kind of team is Tottenham? Their style of play is aggressive and lethal, and this is a team that embraces attacking football. Especially in the core of the midfield, under the dispatch of Chinese player Yi Le, Tottenham can often play a shocking attacking boom. They are a sharp spear! ”

Zhang Lu said sonorously: "The strongest shield VS the sharpest spear!" Who wins and who loses, the next game will tell us the answer! ”

Soon, the starting message appeared on the screens of both sides.

Leicester City (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Kasper Schmeichel.

Defender: Danny. Simpson, Fuchs, Mogon, Hooter.

Midfielders: Albrighton, N'Golo Kante, Mahrez, Drinkwater.

Forwards: Jamie Vardy, Shinji Okazaki.

'Tottenham need to be careful with the combination of Jamie Vardy + Riyad Mahrez, these two players are very strong, especially on the wings, Vardy is now the second highest scorer in the Premier League, scoring 19 goals for Leicester City.

'Riyad Mahrez is also extremely good at his individual ability, and Tottenham will need to work hard to block these two players.

'At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the Japanese international Shinji Okazaki, who is not very fast, but he has a keen sense of smell in front of goal and is likely to score goals if he gets close to the box.

Tottenham Hotspur (4-5-1):

Goalkeeper: Lloris.

Defenders: Aldved, Ben. Davis, Volcker, Vertonghen.

Midfielders: Eriksen, Erik. Dale, Yi Le, Sun Xingmin, Thomas. Carol.

Striker: Harry. Kane.

"Tottenham's lineup is to strengthen the midfield's passing and control mechanism, with Yile and Elkeson as the core, and suppress the midfield. At the same time, remove Dele. Ali, let the defensive strength of Eric . Dell makes the starter. ”

"As for the frontcourt, it's Harry. Kane and Son Heung-min. ”

Director Zhang Lu said with a smile: "Can this game be called an Asian derby?" There were three Asian players present, one each from China, Japan and South Korea. ”

Zhan Jun couldn't help but laugh: "But in terms of the importance of position, Yi Le is the core of the midfield, which cannot be compared with the other two players." ”

"Yes." Coach Zhang Lu nodded and said: "If Tottenham wants to win this game, then Yile needs to stand up and screw the whole team together tightly as usual." ”

"Of course, I don't doubt Yile's mentality in key games, he has proven that he has a big heart and the bigger the scene, the more excited he is. This is evident from his title race in the Championship, the north London derby and his performances against the biggest clubs in the Premier League..... Forehead ......."

Here, Director Zhang Lu was blowing a lot, only to see the camera turn around, and there was a situation in the locker room.

This is Tottenham's dressing room and the players have changed into their shirts and are waiting for the game.

The camera is aimed at Yi Le in the No. 21 jersey, and he is seen sitting on the bench with his mouth slightly open, his eyes glazed over, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Seeing this scene, Director Zhang Lu was directly dumbfounded, covering his forehead with a headache.

The barrage in the live broadcast room also blossomed.

"Real!"

"Yi Le: I'm not nervous, I'm a person who doesn't have feelings!"

“23333333...”

"Zhang Lu: Labor and management just blew you, so you will give me this show?"

"Yile's old problem is again!"

'It used to be like that, in the Championship, when he was on the bench and he did the same.

"Is this Yile's special way of decompressing?"

"! I felt like he was just wandering. ”

In the camera, Sun Xingmin came over and pushed Yi Le, only to see the latter snort, take a sip, and subconsciously wipe his saliva.

Seeing this scene, the live broadcast room laughed crazy again.

"Sure enough, it's a distraction!"

"This is the Alternative Big Heart!"

"Labor and management are not nervous at all, and the backhand can still be distracted?"

“23333333......”
