Leicester City, nicknamed "Fox City", is located in a small town of 30,000 people, but has been a powerhouse in the Championship in recent years, and has performed much better than Leeds United. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Especially after the Italian coach Lazuli became the owner this season, he has recruited several powerful players such as Mahrez, Kante, and Vardy, making Leicester City a strong contender for the league title.

Leeds United, on the other hand, has rarely bought big stars in recent seasons, and a considerable number of main players are from their own youth system, but they frequently sell their core players (such as Snodgrass, Beccio). As for the good results achieved this season, it depends more on Xu Yifei's personal performance.

Leicester City were sixth at the top of the table ahead of this game, so this game will have a big impact on the final race for the season and is certainly the focus of this round of the Championship.

The sports editions of the major British media almost without exception reported and looked forward to the game, and of course, most people were optimistic about Leicester City.

There was almost unanimous concern in the media about Leeds United's prospects. Even Leeds United's local media "Yorkshire Evening Post" wrote: "Leeds United, who have not won four consecutive rounds, will go to the King Power Stadium tomorrow to challenge Leicester City, which may be the most difficult game of the season, and the White Rose wants to take points from the Silver Foxes, and there is little hope ......"

The odds offered by major bookmakers seem to be more convincing. Leicester City are priced at an average of 4.3 odds to lose at home and 1.5 to win.

However, there are also a few who are confident that Leeds United will win, and former Liverpool star Michael Brown. Owen is one of them. Owen wrote in his column for Sina Sports: "Leicester City's strength on paper, recent form, and coach's on-the-spot command are indeed stronger than Leeds United. But I want to remind you of one thing: Leeds United have only lost one game this season in the game where Xu Yifei started the game! Some people may say that the data doesn't tell the story, so Leeds United must still have an impression of the games in which Leeds United eliminated Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United in the League Cup, right? Go back and look at the videos of those games, and you will know how much impact Xu Yifei has on the game! As for the result of this game, I predict a Leeds United victory! ”

Ancenotti, who also runs a column at Sina Sports, scoffed at Owen's predictions, and the Italian wrote with a bit of sarcasm: "Mr. Owen, who became famous at a young age, has always been very optimistic about young teams, which is understandable. But he seems to have forgotten the most obvious truth: football is a collective sport of 11 people, not a one-man show by one person! The huge gap between Leeds United and Leicester City is not something that any player can make up for, unless that person is Pele or Maradona! As for the result, I wasn't even prepared to predict it, because everyone knows that Leicester City have been unstoppable in the Championship this season! They will win against Leeds United and then go all the way to the Premier League as champions! ”

Michael. Although Owen became famous early and is considered a star, he did not achieve much convincing achievements during his playing days, and even fell into the nickname of "Glass Man" because of frequent injuries, and he did not work as a coach.

Ancenotti, on the other hand, was a decorated player and decorated coach of AC Milan, who won all the accolades at club level as a player. During the coaching era, he successively coached giants such as Juventus, AC Milan, and Real Madrid, and brought the Rossoneri to a new level, and is one of the recognized tactical masters in world football. In addition, he was the mentor of a generation of masters, Pirlo.

Therefore, in world football, if the influence of the round, Owen is definitely far inferior to Ancenotti. And Owen has always been the kind of good old man, and this time the taunt of Ancenotti was only laughed off, and he did not fight back.

For the somewhat aggressive Ancenotti, Owen can tolerate it, but it doesn't mean that everyone can bear it, for example, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger can't stand it.

Speaking to a London media outlet, Arsene Wenger said: "Ancenotti and Owen's columns? Of course I did. Carlo (Ancenotti's) article shocked me so much that I don't know how he got so much faith in Leicester City. I would say that football is round and anything is possible on the pitch! Unfortunately, Mr. Ancenotti seems to have forgotten this truth that even the little caddies understand.

And the tone of his speech is also very inconsistent with his identity, Michael (Owen) is a respectable and good gentleman, Mr. Anchenotti should not be so mocking, I think he must apologize to Mr. Owen!

The result? Obviously, it's a five-to-five game with chances for both sides, so it's going to be difficult for either side to get all three points. Yes, I think the result will be a draw. ”

Ancenotti's response was quick: "I'm not here to fight a war of words, and I don't want to waste any more time on this matter, why don't I make a bet with Mr. Arsene Wenger that if Leicester City don't win this game, I will shave my head live!" ”

"Professor" Wenger is also not a vegetarian, and immediately took over: "If Leeds United loses, I will broadcast naked!" ”

A Championship league, although it is a focus battle, but its influence is also limited, after all, it is only a second-tier league. However, after the hype of Owen, Ancenotti and Arsene Wenger, the heat of this game quickly exploded, and it was more eye-catching than Manchester United's red-blue battle against Chelsea in this round of the Premier League.

The most intriguing, of course, are the bets of Arsene Wenger and Ancenotti. Wenger, in particular, has always shown himself as an elegant person, and the nickname of "Professor" is not something that anyone can get, but this time he actually took the initiative to bet on naked running, which greatly surprised people.

The Leeds United players arrived in Leicester a day earlier and were unaware of the news as it was a closed session.

It wasn't until he attended the pre-match press conference that Xu Yifei learned from reporters that Wenger and Ancenotti had made a bet.

The Sun reporter briefly recounted what happened, and finally asked: "Xu, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Xu Yifei thought for a moment and said: "I don't like to judge others, I only want to say one sentence, that is: if Leeds United loses this game, I will accompany Mr. Wenger to run naked live!" ”

"Wow!"

The reporters at the scene erupted in laughter, and even forgot to capture the camera, and when they came to their senses, they found that the Leeds United captain had strode away...... (To be continued.) )
