Chapter 0079, Mighty Chelsea

S-class Gianfranco Zola, a former Italian star and excellent striker, has been voted the greatest player in Chelsea history.

In the high-level pace of the Premier League, what can a small attacking player do? Gianfranco Zola has proven everything with his strength. Debuting in Naples, he once played with the football king Maradona and was influenced by the football king. There, more important than winning the Serie A and Italian Super Cup, was the understanding of the true meaning of the football philosophy of the king. He has had great performances in Serie A and the Italian national team. But the most amazing football experience was at Chelsea. Even after joining the Blues at the age of 30, he still impressed the Blues fans with his outstanding performances. In his first year at Chelsea, Gianfranco Zola helped the team win the FA Cup after a 26-year absence, and Chelsea went from being an obscure mid-stream team to a superpowerhouse. The following year, they continued to win the European Cup Winners' Cup in '97-98. He has always had a consistent performance and excellent performance at Chelsea, and was honorably elected England Footballer of the Year, and his number 25 shirt at Chelsea was forever sealed by Zola.

Regarding Zola's deeds, Xia Xing is very clear.

However, in all fairness, Zola's achievements are actually a little inferior to players such as Henry and Vieri, who are also S-rankers.

The reason why the system defines him as an S-class may be based on the fact that he has made a huge contribution to Chelsea.

β€œxia! What are you thinking? ”

"Oh, it's fine, a little distracted."

Drinkwater kicked the ball over and pointed at Jose Mourinho on the sidelines with a smile.

"Why, you talked to him for a few words, and then you couldn't give up? Looks like you're interested in joining Chelsea. ”

"Don't make a fuss, I'm going to ...... next season"

Xia Xing stopped halfway through his speech and didn't go on.

I'm going back to Manchester United next season.

Can you say that now?

Now that he has been regarded as the offensive core of the team, the whole team is looking forward to leading the team to create a greater miracle.

Is this a self-reluctance to say something that is out of the way?

Square peg.

Thinking of this, Xia Xing passed the ball back: "We are not good at playing this game, it depends on your play, midfield metronome." ”

"Haha! I love this positioning! ”

In fact, in this Leicester City team, Drinkwater is really a midfield metronome.

Not only is he a defensive gatekeeper, but he also has good passing skills.

He is the initiator of the offense and controls the offensive and defensive rhythm of the whole team.

Although Xia Xing is the core of the attack and is very important, and Mahrez is also a sharp knife-type figure, Drinkwater still has a big role.

The Leicester players were warming up and chatting, as were the Chelsea players not far away.

Hazard flipped the ball with ease: "We can play this game casually, we can win anything." ”

Samuel Eto'o agreed: "Yes, I'm not interested in an opponent of this level. ”

Ashley Cole quickly raised his leg on the spot: "The coach is too conservative, this level of opponent, and such a neat opponent, if you want me to say, just let the youth team play a kick, anyway, it will definitely win, the Championship team is only." ”

"That's it, hahaha!"

A number of Chelsea players did not take Leicester City seriously and dismissed the opponent.

However, Lampard frowned: 'Guys, it's not that simple. Some time ago in the League Cup, Manchester City was almost overturned by Leicester City, you must know that Manchester City also sent a lot of main players, and the result was almost an accident, we must not take it lightly. ”

Captain Terry also nodded solemnly: "That's right! Everyone must face it seriously and must not be careless! ”

The two captains spoke, and everyone stopped saying anything.

But even so, most of the Chelsea players didn't take it seriously.

We're going to hit the quadruple-winning giants, who cares about a Leicester City?

Both sides finished their warm-up and returned to the locker room.

The game is about to begin.

In the live broadcast room, the commentator is introducing the starting lists of both sides.

'Chelsea changed their previous 4-5-1 formation today and they switched to 4-3-3.

"Goalkeeper Schwarzer,

"The four defenders, from left to right, are Ashley Cole, Gary Cahill, Terry, Branislav Ivanovic,

'The three midfielders are Frank Lampard, Nemanja Matic and Oscar.

'The front three are Eden Hazard, Samuel Eto'o and Schurrle.

"On the bench sat a number of players such as Ramirez, Willian, Demba Ba, Mata, Torres, Mikel and many others.

'It seems that Chelsea's tactical thinking in this game is very clear, which is to attack.

'A lot of people say Mourinho only defends, that's definitely bias.

"During his time at Real Madrid, his team was so attacking that they often kept their opponents from looking up.

'Today against a team from the Championship, Mourinho wants to break down the opposition with his attack.

'And Chelsea didn't have a bench today.

"Most of the players are the starting force of the team.

'You can see that Chelsea are very serious about this game.

'It looks like Leicester are in big trouble today.

"Leicester City are still in the familiar 4-4-2 formation.

"The starting goalkeeper is still solid Schmeichel,

"Four defenders from left to right, De La Ette, Koncheski, Wes Morgan, Liam Moore,

"Four midfielders from left to right, Andy King, Drinkwater, Mahrez,

'The two strikers are Jamie Vardy and Chris Wood.

"On the bench were players like Lloyd Dyer, James, Konokett, Schlupp, Hammond and others.

"After a series of wins, Leicester City's winter signing Riyad Mahrez has secured a regular position.

"In the last few games, Mahrez has been very brave,

"His sharp breakthrough and precise shooting have become Leicester's new magic weapon.

"The right side of this game will definitely be a key attacking area for Leicester as well.

"But today Leicester City will still use the same tactics as before.

"I don't know.

"They're good at fast breaks, but the Portuguese teams on the opposite side are better at fast breaks.

"In this game, regardless of the tactics, the competition between the two sides will definitely be offensive efficiency and error rate.

"I'm sure this game will be good,

"Let's wait and see!"

At this point, the players of both sides have entered the stadium and are in their places.

Vardy glanced back at Xia Xing and Drinkwater.

Xia Xing nodded calmly, his expression firm.

Drinkwater flicked his fist.

Vardy looked back at Riyad Mahrez to his right.

Mahrez also made an OK gesture, his face still full of pride.

Guys, we'll go according to the plan in a moment!

At the beginning, it's one one!
