This season's Premier League kicks off on 8 August, but for Leicester City, their new season is a little earlier.

On the evening of 2 August, a summer evening breeze blew over Wembley Stadium.

The Leicester soldiers arrived an hour early.

For them, this place is already very familiar.

They played a number of cup games here last season.

And the honor of the small treble has made Wembley Stadium a blessed place for Leicester City.

For Ranieri, it's all the more familiar.

He has been in charge of Chelsea for many years, played in the Premier League for many years and has been here many times.

Revisiting the old place, I was very emotional.

And after returning to the Premier League this time, his first opponent was even more fateful.

Chelsea.

The FA Cup and league title rivalry even became a nostalgia for Chelsea for a time.

Leicester City soldiers walked onto the pitch and the stands burst into applause.

The applause of the audience made the Leicester City players a little dazed.

"Are we so popular?" James' eyes widened.

Drinkwater snorted, "You want to eat fart!" Is the coach popular or not! ”

He's right, it's Ranieri who is popular.

He was a former Chelsea manager, the first manager of the Abramou era.

When there is no intrusion of Jin Yuan football, the Chelsea he coaches can already be called big4.

Even if they are as strong as Alex Ferguson's Manchester United and Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, Chelsea will have to be a little cautious against Claudio Ranieri's side.

Although he was eventually dismissed, it still did not affect his place in the hearts of Chelsea fans.

Especially the old Blues fans.

Ranieri's character is quite popular.

And Mourinho, who was in the Chelsea dugout at this time, was the same person who replaced Ranieri in the first place.

Later, Ranieri went to Serie A, and Mourinho also created the era of Big Power, and the two have played each other repeatedly.

Unexpectedly, the two met again in the Premier League.

"Hello Claudio, long time no see."

"Jose, long time no see."

Seeing Mourinho again, Ranieri looked at him carefully: "Well, you seem to have changed, you have become more composed. ”

Mourinho smiled: "But you haven't changed, you're still so kind." ”

Ranieri: "That doesn't sound so pleasant, doesn't it?" ”

Jose Mourinho: "Don't say that, I still like you. ”

Ranieri: "You just like it? ”

Jose Mourinho: "It's not like, is it respect? ”

Ranieri: "Isn't it possible? ”

Jose Mourinho: "Unless you can step on my shoulder and win the Premier League, I will respect you. ”

Ranieri didn't say much, the two shook hands amicably, and turned to leave.

Claudio Ranieri is gone, but Mourinho is not.

He's still waiting for someone.

Waiting for whom?

Naturally, it's a summer trip.

“xia！”

"Hello Coach Mourinho."

"You guy, you're so stubborn. I asked Mendes to offer you to join Chelsea and he told me that you can't move you, you're such a stubborn guy. ”

"I love Leicester and I'm sorry I can't accept your offer."

"You can't win the league at Leicester, let alone the Champions League. Come to Chelsea, I can give you what you want. The transfer window hasn't closed yet, and you still have time to change your mind. ”

"Forget it, I'm not going to change. And, who says Leicester can't win the league and the Champions League? I thought I could try it, and maybe it would work wonders. ”

"Well, good luck."

Looking at the way Xia Xing ran onto the field, Mourinho pouted.

The Premier League and the Champions League, you don't even want to win this Community Shield.

Boy, one day I'll take you under my command, just wait!

The game was intense from the first minute.

Chelsea, in particular, are scrappy.

No, it should be said that Chelsea have been in high spirits this season.

They finally reclaimed the league title last season and Jose Mourinho's side re-entered the soul of iron.

They are looking forward to all the championship victories in the new season.

Mourinho played his best cards in this match.

Especially the line of attack.

Diego Costa, Eden Hazard, Oscar, Willian, Fabregas......

Only one Nemanja Matic was left to play in the back, with five midfielders ready to attack.

The two full-backs, Cesar Azpilicueta and Branislav Ivanovic, are also up front and are clearly intent on attacking aggressively today.

Leicester City, on the other hand, have a squad that is not much different from last season.

It's still the familiar 4-4-2 formation,

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel,

Four defenders from left to right: Delaette, Wes Morgan, Hooter, Danny Simpson,

Four midfielders from left to right, N'Golo Kante, Drinkwater, Mahrez,

The twin strikers are Jamie Vardy and Ulloa.

Compared to last season's roster, it's just a change of defensive player.

Veteran Cambiaso was on the bench and N'Golo Kante started in his place.

Van Persie, Shinji Okazaki, Fox and Inle were not given a chance to start.

Even Mourinho laughed.

"Looking at this squad alone, I thought Leicester City was still the manager of Pearson."

Almost nothing has changed, it's all about Leicester City.

Soon, though, they discovered the problem.

Leicester City don't look the same, but it's clear that they've changed a lot!

Just five minutes into the game, Chelsea attacked twice.

But it was all destroyed by the Leicester midfield.

Eden Hazard drove the ball along the wing, but just past Mahrez, he was blocked in an instant!

By this time, a number of Chelsea players were in position and ready to pass the ball.

But Hazard is not a believer.

He also wanted to go inside and look for better opportunities.

Looking at the little black man in front of him, he snorted.

You're not that Chinese kid, I've played with you like you!

But I didn't expect that he didn't deceive the other party in two consecutive feints!

Although he couldn't get the ball off the ball, he completely missed the best time to pass the ball.

In a moment of hesitation, Drinkwater next to him quickly made up the defense and directly put down Hazard!

Touch the ball first, don't foul!

Chelsea's opening chance is gone!

Soon, Willian on the right pushed forward with the ball again.

In the face of Xia Xing, he didn't try people.

Last season, he knew Xia Xing's defensive ability.

Although the defensive skills are average, they can't stand the strength and speed of the top-notch.

Horizontal pass, to Fabregas in front!

But as soon as the ball came out, a figure was instantly killed!

It's that Leicester City 14 again!

His judgment was very accurate, and he succeeded in directly shoveling!

Two good chances in the opening game, Chelsea missed!

And they didn't even get to the edge of the penalty area and conceded the goal!

This Leicester City seems to be a little different!

Especially the new signings.

Definitely a first-class new signing!
