The Premier League has been played for 12 rounds and people are surprised to find that Leicester City, who narrowly escaped relegation last season, are still in the top four of the table.

It's not even just about the top four rankings and status to describe Leicester City's 'small club'.

Leicester City, nicknamed the Foxes, are currently level on 25 points with Arsenal, but they have scored more goals than Arsenal and are second in the league, just one point behind Manchester City at the top of the table, and even one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool with Jiang Chenxi.

Not only that, so far this season, the most goals in the Premier League are Leicester City, yes, you read that right, the most goals are not Liverpool with Jiang Chenxi, nor Manchester City with superstars, not Wenger's Arsenal, nor Van Gaal's Manchester United, not even Chelsea in a bad situation now, Leicester City!

At this time, for the first time, the media had a 'bold' idea:

Maybe, maybe, maybe Leicester City, the dark horse of this season, can go black to the end?

Leicester have a chance to win the Premier League?

If someone had said that at the beginning of the season, it would have been considered crazy, it was a fantasy.

However, at this moment, even the fans and media who look down on this small team have to start to face up to this possibility: because Leicester City's current record and ranking are there!

That's the biggest example of that.

……

Renowned Guardian correspondent Ellen . Smith has used a special way to look back and let people know and understand this season's big dark horse in the Premier League.

In the second round of the Premier League, Leicester City defeated West Ham 2-1 away, tied with Manchester City and Liverpool for the top spot.

Leicester legend Lineker spoke to Ranieri after the game, who said: "It's important for us to achieve our goals and our goal is relegation. ”

At this time, fans and the media smiled at Ranieri's words, and everyone felt that Ranieri was right, the Leicester City manager with the nickname of "tinker" is very 'self-aware', the Premier League championship is a game between Liverpool and Manchester City, as well as Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea, with Leicester City's thrilling relegation at the last moment of last season, their most realistic goal is indeed relegation.

In the fifth round of the Premier League, Leicester City reversed Aston Villa 3-2 and was unbeaten in five rounds, four points behind the top Manchester City team and two points behind the second place Liverpool.

Claudio Ranieri: We have 11 points now and we need 29 points to stay relegated, so it's tough.

At this time, everyone's thinking is that Ranieri is right, but with Leicester City's current record and state, the goal of relegation seems to be a little too small, well, maybe it is still possible to rank in the top ten.

Now, after 12 rounds of the Premier League, Leicester City and Arsenal are tied on 25 points, and the goal difference is ahead of Arsenal and second in the league, only one point behind Manchester City at the top of the table and one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool.

Ranieri said in an interview: "The results at the moment for Leicester have really made all of us very happy, but I feel calm. This Leicester City team is not built to compete for the Premier League title and we are now one step closer to relegation. ”

Now, the opinion of the onlookers is: the words of this old man......

……

At this point, a small number of people are really starting to imagine Leicester City competing for the league title.

It's just a scramble, and as for Leicester City actually winning the Premier League, it's really hard to imagine, but even to qualify for the Premier League title game, it's already quite remarkable.

Therefore, now everyone thinks that Ranieri is still biting and saying that Leicester City's goal is to relegate, which is really ...... It's harsh.

You are now beating the defending champions Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United, how can you make those teams embarrassed?

By the way, if you want to fight for relegation, there is one, Chelsea currently has 3 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses with 11 points, ranking 16th in the league, only 3 points above the 18th place in the relegation zone, which is the real fight for relegation.

Ellen. Smith's report has attracted the attention of the English media and even many media around the world, and everyone is crying and laughing at Leicester City manager Ranieri's words, the most common opinion is that this old man is very bad, this is a character accumulation.

Then everyone suddenly discovered that maybe after the next round of the league and the 13th round of the Premier League, Leicester City may really be on the Premier League again!

This is because there is a big game in this round of the league, the defending champions Liverpool in the fourth place of the league take on the league leaders Manchester City away, if Liverpool can pull Manchester City down at the Etihad Stadium, then Leicester City will surpass Manchester City in points after winning this round and become the Premier League leader again.

After thirteen rounds of the league, Leicester City is the leader of the Premier League!

Just imagining it is enough to shock everyone.

Is it really possible for this fox city?

Let's see what the old man Ranieri will say after this round of league games!!

Saying that Leicester City are one step closer to the target of the offer?

Tut!

……

Although some are starting to look at Leicester City squarely, thinking that this dark horse has a good chance to disrupt the situation.

However, the general view is that this season's Premier League title race will be between Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal, and given Arsenal's habitual chain loss behavior and strength factors, more directly, the Premier League title in the 2015/2016 season is most likely to be a tale of Manchester City and Liverpool.

Therefore, in the thirteenth round of the league, the fourth-place Liverpool in the league challenged the league leader Manchester City away, which is undoubtedly a focus of world attention.

As the media and fans thought, both sides also regarded each other as their biggest rivals to win the championship, and the smell of gunpowder before the game began to thicken.

With two days to go, the war of words between the two sides officially began.

Jurgen Klopp spoke first: "It was a wonderful feeling for us to win the Premier League last season...... It motivates us to work harder, it's very difficult to defend because the opponent is strong, but, we believe in ourselves because we are stronger. ”

Manuel Pellegrini has always been regarded as an honest man and not good at words, but since coming to Manchester City, he has experienced the baptism of words from Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho, especially the latter, who always stands up to provoke Pellegrini before every big game between Manchester City and Chelsea.

After these war of words, Pellegrini has clearly improved, he is no longer silent and his words are starting to sharpen.

……

Pellegrini was quick to respond to Klopp's words, saying that as Manchester City manager he has been the most successful manager in the Premier League for the past three years.

'I always think we can do better, but the more important thing is to compare ourselves to other teams. If you sum up my three years at Manchester City, we have one of the most points as a team, we have one of the best performances, and we are the team with the most goals in the last three years. ”

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany then expressed his confidence in his team's win.

'We're the leaders, we're always getting more attention as leaders, we're being chased from behind, that's the pressure, it's the motivation, [the game against Liverpool] will be a watershed moment this season and we'll get away with the chasers!"

Apart from Vincent Kompany, the rest of the Manchester City players have also expressed confidence in winning and eventually lifting the league title.

Yaya Toure said that Liverpool were able to win the title last season because Manchester City took a nap, and now, 'the tiger has woken up and will not give anyone else a chance'!

On Liverpool's side, captain Henderson immediately stood up and responded: Tiger napping? It seems that Chelsea were the ones who won the league title with us last season!

Chelsea: Meow meow.

Liverpool's vice-president Jiang Chenxi: "That's right, they are the leaders now, but not after this game!" ”

Leicester City: What? What the? What did you say?
