Chapter 56: Return to the Premier League

Kodic now values Liu Neng very much. "Jones, this kid doesn't have a lot of talent, and he can endure hardships, as long as he is trained properly, he will be a future superstar."

"Yes, there are a lot of talented players, and how many of them can become legends in the end, just take the players in England, how many talents they have killed." Holland said.

To put it bluntly, when he was a teenager, he was too proud, he thought very highly of himself, he felt that he was very talented, and then he stopped working hard, and even the degenerate player, and the results he achieved afterwards were not enough to support his historical status, is it true that all the people who became famous later must have higher talent than the players who are not famous.

No, so later contemporaries will remember Zidane, Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Messi, and they won't remember players who only had a few games.

There are too many players who have become famous with one goal, there are many players who are afraid that people can't remember it, Owen, who became famous with one goal in the 98 World Cup, can remember him less and less, in the 94 World Cup, the Russian team's Salenko scored 5 goals in one game, and the absolute goal became famous, and finally drove high and low, and there was no name in Europe, so you are a legend after becoming famous with a goal.

Since the gathering of Chelsea players, Kodic's brow has been locked, many internationals are already tired when they are training, just a Jones looks still very energetic, it is about to be another Premier League game, the time is so short, and the first round of this season's Champions League group stage is about to begin.

However, before this game, they will have to head to Leicester City's King Power Stadium to challenge the Foxes.

Founded more than 130 years ago, Leicester City have won League Two six times, League One and the League Cup three times.

In the 2013-2014 season, Leicester City won the first English Champions League title in the team's history, and entered the English Premier League again after 10 years.

Most brilliantly, on 3 May 2016, Leicester City won the 2015-2016 Premier League title two rounds ahead of schedule, becoming the sixth Premier League team to win the title and the first top-flight title in the club's 132-year history.

They created a Leicester miracle as the finale of the 36th round of the 2016 Premier League was played at Stamford Bridge, with Tottenham Hotspur losing out on a two-goal lead before being held to a 2-2 draw by Chelsea.

Chelsea held Tottenham to a draw but ultimately sealed Leicester City to the Premier League title, with the Foxes winning the title in one of the most incredible miracles in English football history.

In the 2015 season, they were still at the bottom of the Premier League with nine league games remaining, and then struggled to relegate successfully, and in the run-up to the new season, the team also had a scandal in Thailand, which directly led to the dismissal of three players, and the then manager Pearson was also dismissed because of this incident, which made Leicester City's odds to win the 2015 season only 1 to 5000, which was not favored by everyone.

Why is Leicester City one of the most incredible miracles in football history, in the 2015 new season, the Foxes are the least favored title contenders, what is the concept of odds of 5000 to 1?

The odds for the following events are lower than Leicester's victory.

Simon, a judge of Britain's Got Talent, was elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, 1 to 500, Cameron to be the head coach of Aston Villa, 1 to 2500, Leicester striker Vardy switched to acting in movies to win the Oscar, 1 to 1000, Arsenal fired Wenger, let British gold medal program host Pierce be the head coach, 1 to 2500, Pee Jr. as the head coach of Manchester United, 1 to 750, Kim Kardashian was elected President of the United States, 1 to 2000, Elvis Presley is still alive, 1 to 2000, It is lower than the Chinese men's football team winning the 2018 World Cup, China won the World Cup at 1 to 3500, and what is really comparable to Leicester City's chances of winning the championship is that FIFA decided to host the 2026 World Cup in Antarctica, with 1 to 5000.

Although Leicester City has always been a grassroots team, they have a strong dominance in the Premier League in the 15th season, as of the end of the 38th round of the Premier League, Leicester City led the Premier League for 147 days this season, you know, the Premier League season from the beginning to the end, it is less than 300 days, in other words, Leicester City has been at the top of the table for more than half a season, you know, Leicester City is ranked 14th in the Premier League in the 14th season.

However, under the leadership of the new head coach Claudio Ranieri, the "Blue Foxes" team has always been stable at the top of the standings, and many dazzling new stars such as Vardy, Mahrez, and Kante have emerged, among them, the team's top scorer Vardy has scored 22 goals in 34 Premier League games; Midfielder Riyad Mahrez contributed 17 goals and 11 assists, N'Golo Kante was the most efficient defensive midfielder in the Premier League in 15 seasons, averaging 4.5 tackles and 4.2 interceptions per game, both of which were first, and goalkeeper Schmeichel played 36 games and conceded 0 goals in 15 games, making him a strong contender for the "Golden Glove".

Ranieri was definitely a big contributor to Leicester's victory, and when Leicester's dream came true, he was on his way home to Italy, because he had to fulfill his promise to eat with his 96-year-old mother, and before leaving, Ranieri left these words: "We made history!" If they win the title, the Leicester story will live on for at least a few decades in history. And that's exactly what happened.

This is only their second season after winning the title, and they are still a strong team, but now the miracle is gone, last season they finished 16th, a few big players left, and now Leicester City's most recognisable figure is Jamie Vardy.

Shakespeare, the coach of Leicester City, used to be the assistant coach of Leicester City, Shakespeare is very unhappy now, looking at the opponent on the schedule, Shakespeare frowned, the next few games are not easy to win, if you don't have the miracle of Leicester City on your head, you just need to be relegated, but now the results of the game can't be too bad, now his head is big.

Kodic is also big now, facing a relaxed situation in this team, looking at the light enemy of their own players, they are afraid that the Leicester City miracle has disappeared, and they all feel that it is easy to win them, but in the face of the current Leicester City, with this mentality of underestimating the enemy, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no accidents in the game.

To be on the main force or not? Faced with this dilemma, it was difficult for Kodic, who has always been good at tactics, to make a choice, and he decided to take a closer look in the tactical class before the game.

In the conference room of Chelsea's hotel, Kodic was ready to tell the players about the tactical lesson, Liu Neng came here early to sit on the sofa, after receiving Holland's notice, the players walked in one after another, in fact, Kodic has made a choice in his heart, as a responsible coach, now many national team players are not physically strong, he will not take a game to bet on a player's career, therefore, he decided not to make a change, just half of the main force and half of the substitute, even if the game is lost, They are also league leaders.

Once the Chelsea squad had arrived, Kodic cleared his throat and asked: 'Can any of you tell me how we should handle tomorrow's game?' ”
