Chapter 202: The streak is coming to an end?

Leicester City owner Vichai was born in 1958 in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, his grandfather is a native of Zhangzhou, Fujian, and his family went to Thailand to make a living in the wave of going to the South Seas, and his father Xu Liming is also a well-known industrialist in Thailand, and now his net worth is about 4.9 billion US dollars, he is the fifth richest person in Thailand, and he is also on the list of the world's richest people in the Forbes list. You may not be impressed by anything else, but if you want to say that "King Power Duty Free" is his, people who go to Thailand will feel familiar.

Others say that "30 years Fox City fans" is a joke, but this Chinese owner is really "21 years Leicester City fans", in 1997 he and his son Xu Shengyuan watched a Leicester City game on the spot, and were attracted by the temperament of the Leicester City team on the spot, and became Leicester City fans. In 2010, he bought Leicester City, then a Championship club, for £39 million, with the club himself as chairman and his son as vice-president. When Lu was in the J-League, it was his son who suggested that he be brought to Leicester City – only to be stopped by the Foxes' failure to win that season. However, after he took over, he improved the team's debt situation, stadium facilities, etc., and helped the team to achieve success in 2014, from the Championship to the Premier League, but at that time Lu Zhuhu had already arrived at the Bernabeu and regretted to miss it. Later, in 2016, Leicester City won the championship with a 1:5000 odds, and Lu Zhuhu also won the Champions League, and everyone was happy. The two sides have also maintained good communication, and they will get together when they get to the home stadium of both sides. The Vichai family also live in London, and they usually cook their own meals at home – this time was no exception.

Although Lu Zhuhu once again helped the home team defeat Fox City, the other party can't really be angry, it's an opponent on the field, and it's still his own people off the field. The conversation was very pleasant, especially when it came to the experience of his ancestors going to Nanyang, Lu Zhuhu talked eloquently, and understood the customs and customs of Nanyang countries at that time as if he had seen it with his own eyes, which had to be admired. Lu Zhuhu brought up the old matter again, discussing the matter of letting the other party "introduce the king of martial arts" during the winter break, and the other party could only say that he would mention it to the head coach - but it was the head coach who made the decision.

Lu Zhuhu felt a little that other people's bosses are like being bosses - although he is the chairman, he can never interfere too much in the operation of the team, and the affairs at the competitive level are directly handled by the head coach. They don't go to the team dressing room, they just say hello to the players and coaches in the players' tunnel and let them know that they support them.

"We won't do what we're not good at." ——Xu Gongzi's original words.

As a boss, all he does is ...... Pay! When they were first promoted to the Premier League, Vichai said that the team had the ability to finish in the top five of the Premier League in the next three years and was willing to invest £180 million in it, which was naturally scoffed by the British media, and two years later Leicester City not only finished in the top five of the Premier League, but also won the title......

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a good person, and he donated 2 million pounds to the Children's Hospital; £1 million to the University of Leicester Medical Centre; free food and clothing are regularly distributed to the poor; Free tickets for fans...... Do good deeds in a low-key manner, without exposure. While others were celebrating the championship, he was signing players for the club and revamping the training ground......

But if Kroenke, the owner and major shareholder of Arsenal, had given a little bit of strength in the past ten years, Arsenal would not have been as good as Wang Xiaoer's New Year, right?

Not to mention Arsenal, the current situation of Mr. Kroenke's other two teams, the NBA's Denver Nuggets and the NFL team Rams, can also show his level......

Going back to Mr. Vichai's management method, Lu Zhuhu feels that it is worth learning from the Football Association and the Sports Federation - don't always think about meddling in this and that, just let professional people do professional things! You just have to create favorable conditions!

Alack! I'm afraid that in the foreseeable career, it is impossible to see such a grand scene, and I am afraid that there is still some hope for me to retire to become the president of the Football Association.

After the family gathering, Boss Xu asked his son to send Lu Zhuhu home by private jet, and Xu Gongzi quietly told Lu Zhuhu that he would promote what he said before - after all, in addition to being too expensive, the martial arts king is also okay.

When Lu Zhuhu returned home in a happy mood, he finally received a message from Wei Shihao again:

"Brother Tiger, Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng are married?"

Lu Zhuhu couldn't help frowning, what the hell!

It's all old news from a week ago!

"Forgive me, forgive me, I haven't used my mobile phone, I just found out about ......"

Lu Zhuhu: "......"

It turned out that the mobile phones of the U25 players who were training in Tai'an were confiscated, and they knew that they finally got an hour of mobile phone use today, and even the news that Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng announced their marriage was not known until now!

Well, it's not big news, but if I become the president of the Football Association, you will be surprised......

Of course, now the people in the training camp are facing the hard-won opportunity to use their mobile phones, they are all with their heads down and racing against time to swipe their mobile phones, some send selfies, some are busy video chatting with their families and girlfriends, some are busy replying to various messages, busy swiping the circle of friends, only such an hour to contact their families, it is really "half an hour of calling, missing for a week!" ”

These are quite light, and there are those who can't get married directly because of this - Xu Yougang, who received the certificate in February, was originally going to officially hold a wedding in mid-November, but a training order came directly. I planned to use the time before winter training to hold a wedding after I played all the games in the Chinese Super League. Invitations have been distributed, family and friends have been notified, and hotels have been booked – what's your problem now?

The application will not be approved, just change the date to you!

Made to be like this, Lu Zhuhu could only express his speechlessness and sympathy......

"Well, they're pretty miserable."

Lu Zhuhu replied: "Aren't you miserable?" ”

- "Hey, I'm back at the club!" ”

——“?? ”

- "Thank you Brother Tiger for taking care of me!" ”

Lu Zhuhu smiled and replied: "Thank me for what are you doing!" Go back and play well. ”

It turned out that after playing the game with the third brother, the national football team shot countless times, and the particles were not successful, and the front was powerless to let the old man Lippi be one head and two big, and Lu Zhuhu contacted Xiao Zhi, Gao Lin, and Yu Dabao were all aging, and it was almost time to correct Wei Shihao and them. According to the requirements of the AFC, the Football Association will submit a 50-man training squad for the Asian Cup in December, and 23 of them will eventually qualify for the Asian Cup. Now that the training camp is still a few people short of 50 people, Lu Zhuhu suggested that the old man get Wei Shihao and a few of them out of the "concentration camp".

Save Private Shihao? Well, if you can save a few and save a few, prepare for the Asian Cup, and then you will have to fight Sun Qiuwang again, at that time, you can't count on others to help, you can only rely on real strength.

The Football Association has recently had a new trick, to hold the "U23 League" after the end of the Chinese Super League, the Chinese Super League, the Chinese League and the Chinese B clubs are not forced to sign up voluntarily - but this is not the original idea, the hastily introduced U23 League is just a replacement, before the Football Association hopes that after the end of the league, all club players, including foreign players, all stay, accompany the U25 training team to play a month of the league, so that the U25 training team training is more effective.

Lu Zhuhu: "......"

Why do I think more and more that you have learned these routines from the national football camps of previous generations? Or maybe the creator of that concentration camp is someone with a unique brain circuit in the current Football Association?

Huang Jianxiang said that the Football Association is still not bold enough, and should directly arrange for U25 to participate in the five major leagues, where the level of sparring is high, and it can be effective in a year.

Although it was just angry talk, the next day I saw follow-up reports that this idea could really become a reality, and the relevant media reported that the U25 training team may have the opportunity to participate in the Croatian league, and the specific details are still being negotiated......

Nima, why don't you just me off......

……

Group E of the Europa League group stage continues on 26 October, with Arsenal travelling to challenge Sporting de Portugal, where both Seehu and Mesut Ozil were given the opportunity to rest. Now Arsenal are on the momentum and are not afraid of this kind of competition. Although the two teams drew 0-0 in the first half, but in the 77th minute of the second half, Torreira made a long pass from the backfield, Aubameyang knocked a pass with his heel, Coates in the opposing team stopped the ball and made a mistake to give a gift, and Welbeck burst into the penalty area and fired a low right-footed shot to break the deadlock!

In the end, Arsenal defeated Sporting Portugal 1-0 away and won the eleventh consecutive victory, don't look at the win, but have always taken the initiative, with 67% possession of the ball, only 33% of Sporting Portugal, 7 shots on target from 14 shots in the game, and 1 goal from 3 excellent scoring opportunities - crushing, which can be described as a goal.

What's more, even if it doesn't work, Lu Zhuhu and Ozil are still on the bench at any time, which is not false at all.

The two cores are not in the team There is still an image, without the speed and dribbling of Lu Zhuhu, without the organization of Ozil, the team is obviously playing very scattered, as if it has been cut off, several times over the top to try to find the right side, if Lu Zhuhu or Bellerin are directly playing, but this Lichtsteiner really can't keep up, you can see the gap.

The next game against Crystal Palace, both of them are back, and you can expect that the situation will be better.

The team and players are in excellent condition, and Lu Zhuhu is also in a good mood, during which he also accepted an exclusive interview with "French Football", talking about his possibility of winning this year's Ballon d'Or -

Although the first two awards have been missed, there is no doubt that the Golden Globe Award is the heaviest and most authoritative in terms of value. Because of his recent excellent performances at the club, Lu Zhuhu has also been praised by the media, increasing the likelihood of him winning the award, and the current odds are on par with Modric - not to mention Real Madrid's current league performance is quite poor.

On October 28, Lu Zhuhu came to Selhurst Park with the team to prepare for Crystal Palace, and Lu Zhuhu is no stranger to Selhurst Park, the home stadium of Crystal Palace, and played for the British team here in the 30s. However, when Lu Zhuhu took out his mobile phone while resting, he unexpectedly saw a message:

Leicester City boss Vichai is feared dead

What the? Boss Xu is gone?

Lu Zhuhu was surprised, after all, they had just eaten together a few days ago, how could they be so unlucky?

The news said the crash happened at about 8.30pm, shortly after the match between Leicester City and West Ham United. As is customary, the helicopter landed in the center circle of the stadium and from there took off the club officials directly, but after taking off from the turf and flying over the stadium, the helicopter lost control in the air a few seconds later, stopped its engine, and crashed into a car park just a few hundred meters from the stadium. The plane soon exploded and was surrounded by raging fire. Vichai and his daughter were probably all killed on the plane at the time.

Life is short and life is impermanent, so I can only hope that Boss Xu will rest in peace.

At 21:30 in the evening, in the 10th round of the English Premier League, Crystal Palace hosted Arsenal.

In the 14th minute of the game, Lacazette in the penalty area turned the ball back, and Lu Zhuhu, who followed up, sent the ball away with a volley. This opportunity can be said to be very good, but Lu Zhuhu's operation is a little spicy - the result of not seizing the opportunity is that the opponent will soon threaten the goal - in the 15th minute, Crystal Palace's Townsend a cross from the right side to the penalty area, and Zaha, who got the ball near the big penalty area line, pushed and shot at the left post of the goal!

Arsenal escaped!

In the 16th minute, Crystal Palace played another brilliant attacking combination in front, Van Aanholt who dribbled into the box sent a cross knock, and Townsend in front of goal pushed the ball wide.

Arsenal did not get better form because of the rotation of their main players, but there were problems in the connection. The first to wake up was Ozil - in the 38th minute, Ozil split the ball on the right, Bellerin made the ball, and Lacazette on the right side of the penalty area crossed Lu Zhuhu but did not insert it in time, causing the ball to deflect out of the goal and out of the bottom line.

Today, Lu Zhuhu seems to be a little absent-minded, possibly stimulated by the death of his friend.

In stoppage time of the half, Mustafi, who was assisting in the penalty area, tackled Kouyate, who was dribbling the ball, and the referee blew for a penalty.

Then Milivojevic took the penalty and scored the ball safely! 1-0! Crystal Palace, playing at home, scored first!

All of a sudden, the Gunners fans who came with the team looked at each other.

At half-time, Arsenal temporarily trailed Crystal Palace away.

However, in the 52nd minute of the rematch, Arsenal got an excellent set-piece opportunity on the right side of the penalty area, and Lu Zhuhu came to take the penalty.

His free-kick took a beautiful arc and flew straight into the corner of the goal to score! 1-1! Arsenal, playing away, equalized the score!

Make up for it!

It can be seen that after the adjustment of the midfield, Lu Zhuhu's spirit has returned, and he rarely disappoints in terms of the skills he is best at.

In the 56th minute, Lu Zhuhu took another corner kick from the right side to the penalty area, Jordan Ayew at the front point made a mistake with his header, and Aubameyang who followed at the back point scored with a shot! 1-2! Arsenal turn the score around!

There was some controversy about the goal, but replays of goal-line technique showed that the ball had crossed the line in its entirety, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goal was valid.

In the 65th minute, Zaha sent a straight plug in front of the penalty area, and Meier, who drove the ball into the penalty area, hit the left post of the goal with a volley from a small angle! Arsenal escaped again!

At this time, Ozil was replaced by Welbeck, but Ozil thought that the game was still unstable and did not want to leave - and he was not particularly comfortable playing today, and Ozil threw his gloves angrily when he walked off the field to express his dissatisfaction.

Not long after he left the scene, a dramatic scene appeared!

In the 82nd minute, Zaha, who continuously dribbled into the penalty area, was brought down by Xhaka, and the referee blew for a penalty again!

Milivojevic took the penalty again and scored the ball safely! 2-2! Milivojevic scored twice!

Does Arsenal's winning streak look like it's coming to an end in this one?!
