Chapter 703: Confrontation Battle

Although the Chinese team, which won the Asian Cup, returned home with a series of celebrations, it was much smaller than when they won the Asian Cup for the first time in 2011.

After all, the third place in the Confederations Cup and the third place in the World Cup have been won, and the Asian Cup champion is really unable to celebrate.

As for Lu Wenbin, he didn't even return to China, and flew directly back to the UK from Australia, ready to continue to play in the rest of the Premier League.

During Lu Wenbin's participation in the Asian Cup, Leicester City first lost to Newcastle in the FA Cup with a substitute lineup, and went out cleanly.

Then, Leicester also played three more league games, only to lose two and win just one.

When Lu Wenbin left after the 20th round of the league, Leicester City had 57 points, 11 points ahead of second-placed Chelsea.

After Lu Wenbin returned from the Asian Cup, Leicester City's points only increased by 3 points to 60 points.

Thankfully, Jose Mourinho's Chelsea have not won all three league games, including a 1-1 draw against Manchester City.

As a result, after the 23rd round of league games, Leicester City are still seven points ahead of second-placed Chelsea.

In the 24th round of the league, Lu Wenbin has returned.

The media and fans can already predict that Leicester City will stage a promotion miracle under the leadership of Lu Wenbin, winning the Premier League title in the first season of promotion.

Sure enough, on February 7, Leicester City hosted Crystal Palace in the 24th round of the league, and the Blue Foxes defeated their opponents 4-0 under the leadership of Lu Wenbin, announcing Leicester City's strong recovery.

On February 11, in the 25th round of the league, Leicester City played away against Gunners Arsenal.

Arsenal were in great form to the cheers of the home fans, scoring three goals.

But Leicester City is even better, Lu Wenbin used a hat trick of goals + assists to lead Leicester City to complete a 4-3 stunner at the Emirates Stadium and leave with a 3-point victory.

In the 26th round, Leicester City played Everton away and continued to win 3-0, while Chelsea were held to a draw by Burnley in this round, and the Foxes had a nine-point lead over Chelsea.

In the 27th round, Leicester City hosted Chelsea and ushered in a game worth six points in direct dialogue between the two sides.

It was in order to beat Leicester City in this direct dialogue that Chelsea had a reservation in the previous round, only to be held to a careless draw by Burnley.

After being held to a draw by Burnley, Chelsea have no way back and must win against Leicester City to close the gap and retain their title hopes.

On 29 February, Leicester City's 2014/2015 Premier League 27th round of crucial hosting Chelsea officially began.

If Chelsea want to win, they can only attack.

On Leicester City's side, Pearson originally wanted to play defensive counterattacks, but under the persuasion of Lu Wenbin, he gave up this idea and started an attack with Chelsea.

Lu Wenbin's reason is to use this game to play the temperament of Leicester City.

After more than half a season of intense Premier League experience, and under the guidance of Lu Wenbin, Kante's talent in defense has been completely stimulated, and he has reached the level of the world's top midfielder, not inferior to his predecessor Makelele.

Therefore, Lu Wenbin has enough confidence to advance and lead his teammates in the front court to attack against Chelsea.

If it was just an ordinary club team, Lu Wenbin naturally only needed to lead the team to win, win the championship, and complete the task.

But now that Lu Wenbin is also a shareholder of Leicester City, he needs to think not only about winning the championship, but also about winning beautifully, attracting more neutral fans, expanding Leicester City's market prospects, increasing sales of jerseys and shoes and other ancillary products, and increasing his dividend income.

Under such thoughts, Lu Wenbin put forward a proposal to attack, and Pearson chose to accept it after thinking about it again and again.

On the one hand, even though Lu Wenbin is the captain of the team, the first superstar, and one of the owners, he does not have enough confidence to oppose it.

On the other hand, Leicester City is 9 points ahead of Chelsea, and even if they lose, they still have a 6-point advantage, which is another side that gives Pearson confidence.

Therefore, the key battle of the Premier League that finally began at the King Power Stadium was presented to the fans on the scene and in front of the TV, which was the most classic super offensive battle in the Premier League this season.

The game had just begun, and Lu Wenbin, who got the right to kick off, saw that Cech was a little forward, and shot directly with his feet as soon as he kicked off.

In the stunned gaze of the crowd, Cech stepped back a little embarrassed to flick the ball over the crossbar.

Lu Wenbin almost created the fastest goal in the history of the Premier League and even world football.

It was a shot that set the tone for the game.

Although the opening shot did not score, Lu Wenbin still assisted Vardy to score Leicester's first goal in the fourth minute.

But just five minutes later, in the ninth, Chelsea equalised through Didier Drogba's violent volley from Eden Hazard's pass.

The two sides come and go, fighting actively, all of them are forward and forward, and when there is a rare return pass, all the actions of the players on both sides are rushing to break through and shoot.

Lu Wenbin has Lu Wenbin and Vardy, Mahrez, Drinkwater and others who have grown rapidly under his guidance, and Chelsea has Hazard, Cesc Fabregas, Drogba, Costa and other superstars.

The two top-two teams in the Premier League battled each other to the adrenaline rush of all the fans in person and in front of the television, and the neutral fans were even more feasting for the eyes.

By half-time, five goals had been scored to give Leicester a 3-2 lead.

In the second half, the two sides did not stop at all, and continued to attack each other almost without defense, bombing indiscriminately.

After 90 minutes, the score was 5-4 on the big screen as Leicester City won the battle with a one-goal home win over Chelsea.

Nine goals were scored in a single game and almost broke the double, which is simply rare in the Premier League, and it is enough to rank at the top of the Premier League for the most goals scored in a single game.

The match went as Lu Wenbin had hoped, attracting more neutral fans to Leicester City.

Because Leicester City not only won the ball, but also won the big game against the star-studded Chelsea, taking the lead over Chelsea to 12 points, and the title was in sight.

Next, Leicester City, which did not have European competitions and gave up the FA Cup and League Cup, continued to specialize in the league under the leadership of Lu Wenbin.

In the 28th round, it was another tough battle against the local tyrant Manchester City.

After a bloody battle with Chelsea in the last round of the league, several players were injured or suspended for yellow cards, which affected Leicester's line-up for the 28th round of the game.

The Foxes ended up in a 2-2 draw away from Manchester City, with Chelsea winning to catch up and close the gap to 10 points.

However, there are fewer and fewer games left until the end of this season's Premier League, with only 10 rounds left.
