Chapter Ninety-Five: The Battle for the Championship at the Imperial Power Stadium! The barb shot shocked the audience! Two people scored twice in a row!
Next.
Sunny Leicester City, all around the King Power Stadium!
The pleasant weather, like the beautiful mood of Leicester City fans, makes the city a little more vibrant today!
Swept away by the joy of winning their first Premier League last season, Leicester City fans dressed in blue and appeared in vigour near the King Power Stadium.
They bought a lot of beer and popcorn near the stadium and laughed together and poured into the stadium.
Today is the most important race at the beginning of the new season!
Leicester fans are full of confidence and hope that the team can maintain the same hot form as last season and win the Community Shield today!
Add another championship trophy to the team's honor room!
As for today's opponents, Manchester United, Leicester City fans certainly know that they beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 in the first round of the Premier League that just ended.
But they didn't care, they were last season's Premier League winners!
In the words of their fans, let you play the Premier League in the dark, in full swing, and play as many big scores as you want.
But in our Imperial Power Stadium, you are imprisoned in eighteen chains, in a dark and terrifying hell, and then you will confess the final victory!
Although for them, most people also know in their hearts that Leicester City will not perform the same miracle as last season in the future.
However, the remaining confidence of the Premier League champions still makes them unable to hide their desire to beat Manchester United and win another trophy in this kind of decisive game!
"It's up to Mr. Ranieri to see what Mr. Ranieri has to do today."
"Didn't Manchester United bring in a very good striker this season? I wonder if Mr. Ranieri has any way to restrain him. ”
"It's a pity, Kante was poached some time ago, otherwise he would have been able to restrain the Chinese from killing."
"But I still believe in Mr. Ranieri, there is a way to limit the opposing striker to death, he is always amazing."
"Yes, as long as the team defends well today, I am very confident in the attack, and Manchester United's defensive line will not be able to withstand our attack at all."
"Come on, Leicester!"
“......”
Leicester fans drank beer, chatted, held team banners and walked into the stadium with confidence.
The King Power Stadium, which can accommodate about 32,000 fans, probably seats more than 25,000 Leicester City fans today, and Manchester United's expedition fans are only about 7,000.
Of course, the Red Devils fans just can't get tickets, and it's definitely not that they don't support the team enough.
They are also looking forward to the fact that Jose Mourinho's team can win a trophy for the team at the beginning of the new season!
"Hopefully the wind can continue its form and not give Leicester City any chance."
"They have lost a lot of stars this season, and they are no longer a strong team at all, at most they have the strength of the middle and upper reaches, don't worry."
"I just saw that the Leicester fans are still very confident, I don't know what they are thinking."
"Hahahaha, maybe I hope the team can continue a miracle journey."
"How can there be so many miracles......"
Manchester United fans chatted with a slightly relaxed mentality.
As long as they can see Lu Chenfeng's state in the last game again, there should be no suspense about the outcome of this game.
Champions at your fingertips!
Now.
Inside the King Power Stadium, in the media room, a pre-match press conference is underway.
Jose Mourinho with Lu Chenfeng and Claudio Ranieri with Jamie Ranieri with Jamie Vardy, the four of them appeared here to take pre-match questions from reporters.
'Mr Mourinho showed confidence in the result of this game after the last game.
A reporter threw the question at Ranieri and asked; "I wonder what Mr. Ranieri thinks about this?"
Ranieri, with white hair, sat on a stool and smiled gently.
In fact, he has always been a relatively low-key manager, and he does not dare to put any empty words in the media.
It wasn't until the final stretch that he said he wanted to go for the Premier League title as long as he could.
'There's no doubt that Manchester United is a strong team and Jose Mourinho is also one of the best coaches in the world.
"But in this format, I think there's a lot of uncertainty and we have a lot of opportunities for the team."
"It will be nice to have the results of the game later."
Ranieri maintained his humility, but the trace of desire revealed in the depths of his eyes could not be concealed.
In this kind of single-game championship match, is Leicester City really very small?
He didn't think so.
"That'...... Mr. Vardy. ”
The reporter continued to ask questions, only to throw them at Vardy, who was next to Ranieri.
"As a super striker who scored 24 goals in the Premier League last season, do you have confidence in today's clash with Lu Chenfeng, a rising star?"
"According to the current situation, Mr. Lu Chenfeng will also be directly involved in the competition for the Premier League Golden Boot."
"Today is your first meeting."
Vardy glanced at Lu Chenfeng, who was sitting not far from him, and raised his eyebrows slightly before speaking.
'I haven't seen him play yet, but I've heard some of his reputations, including a hat-trick on his Premier League debut.
"Overall, I'm going to give it my all in the ring and try to outperform him with my experience and speed."
As an inspirational figure in football, Jamie Vardy certainly won't throw in the towel.
Even in the face of Lu Chenfeng, who had a high voice before the game, he still didn't look down on himself, and he had a kind of limelight that he was doing it after fighting against the water.
And this belief in not admitting defeat is also the most important point that supports him to step up from the lower leagues and eventually become the top scorer in the Premier League!
After digging through Jamie Vardy and Claudio Ranieri, the press conference ended shortly after.
Mourinho and Lu Chenfeng both had a very simple meaning, and they felt that it was an easy game today, so naturally there was no need to ask.
After the press conference, the players and coaches returned to their dressing rooms to prepare for the pre-match warm-up.
Soon, wait until the warm-up is over.
Manchester United in the dressing room.
Mourinho stood in front of the tactical board with rigor and seriousness on his face.
It may be that in front of the media, he is a bohemian maniac, but when it comes to competitions, he always does.
'Leicester are very fast and very sharp on the counter-attack.
Mourinho pushed the blue pieces on the board and then pulled the red pieces back, "so I want the players other than the two strikers to take on some more defensive responsibilities." ”
'Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial, especially the two of you defending on the wings, you have to remember to recycle.'
"After we lose the ball in the front court, we must start a counter-attack as soon as possible, and if the counter-attack fails or there is no hope, then it is a tactical foul."
"Don't play too gently, it's a championship match, not a friendly match, okay?"
Mourinho pulled all the pieces on the tactical board back into place and pushed the red pieces into the blue half.
Red naturally represents Manchester United, and blue represents Leicester City.
"After talking about suppressing their defense, let's talk about the offense briefly."
"It's the same as in the last game, we have to keep a very strong pressure up front."
"It's better that Leicester can't play a few attacks at all, and they can't play counter-attacks, so they can only go to their strikers with big feet."
"In this way, not only do we have more chances to score, but it also makes the defense more solid."
After listening to Mourinho's words, Rooney and Anthony Martial's faces were slightly heavy.
As soon as this set of tactics came out, the pressure on the two of them on the wing was great today.
When attacking, you not only have to push out and give the opponent very strong pressure, but also have to withdraw and defend against counterattacks.
Anthony Martial is a little bit better, young and able to run.
Rooney is a little older, and he may be a little overwhelmed.
"Sir, in this case, maybe you will have to prepare for me in advance for sixty or seventy minutes in the second half, and my physical strength may be difficult to hold."
Rooney exchanged breath with Mourinho and then adjusted his socks with a determination to kill myself in 70 minutes.
As the captain of the team, when the team needs him, even if it is difficult, he has to do his best.
"No problem."
Mourinho nodded in acknowledging Rooney's attitude before moving on to something else.
Ten minutes later.
Players from both sides walked out of the dressing room and into the tunnel of the players.
Today's caddies are a group of cute girls, Lu Chenfeng looked at their ignorant and yearning eyes, and felt a little cute.
He tugged at the ponytail of the female caddie in the front row, then turned his head away, pretending that he hadn't done it himself.
After repeating it a few times, the female caddie also found him wisely and looked at him with a fierce expression.
"Haha......"
Lu Chenfeng couldn't help but feel good and laughed a few times.
Whether it was in his previous life or now, he has always wanted a girl.
It's just that I was busy with work in my previous life, and I was busy with my journey in the team in this life, so I don't have time for the time being.
At the end of the season or two, his personal problems will have to be considered.
Soon, with the referee's command, the players from both sides led the caddies out of the players' tunnel.
At this time, Lu Chenfeng also observed the opponent's lineup.
When he was a fan in his previous life, he admired the Blue Fox's miracle season for a while, and he knew a little about most of the players in the team.
At a glance, although two or three players have been poached by the giants, the general main framework of this Blue Fox is still there.
Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel continues to fight on the front line, guarding the gates for the team.
The four players on the back line have basically not changed, Simpson, Morgan, Hut, Fox, all four of them are big players in their playing years.
On the midfield line, Kante's departure still hurt them a lot.
De Linkwater was in the midfield position, with Andy King and Japanese Shinji Okazaki in the middle of the field.
In the full-back position, the combination of Mahrez and Moussa is quite good.
Mahrez, in particular, was thought to be the most likely player to leave this summer, but ended up staying at Leicester City.
At the top is still Jamie Vardy, who has strong individual ability to play as a lone striker!
Overall, this squad is a decent combination and can compete for a European place in the Premier League.
But compared to the thickness of Manchester United's season this season, it is a little undersightly.
It will only be interesting to see if Ranieri has any special arrangements or how the key players are in shape.
Soon, Lu Chenfeng walked into the King Power Stadium and had a very special feeling.
It has a very fresh feel to it, surrounded by plains and no particularly high-rise buildings.
It is like a golf course built on the edge of a small island on the border, which is very quiet and comfortable.
But it was here that Leicester's players pulled off the biggest miracle in their history last season.
It was in the middle of the Royal Power Stadium that they lifted the Premier League trophy high and became the sixth team to win the Premier League.
"Whew."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Chenfeng focused all his attention on the game.
This game is more important, every minute is not to be careless.
Because a single goal can make you miss a championship trophy!
In the centre circle, Manchester United's captain Wayne Rooney and Leicester City's captain Morgan stand here, tossing a coin to decide the right to start.
In the end, Leicester City won the ball in the first half, and Rooney could only shrug his shoulders and return to his own half with a slight regret.
"Beep!"
With the anticipation of the players on both sides, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.
Jamie Vardy took the ball from the centre circle and then headed towards United's backfield to wait for his chance.
The United players soon began to follow Mourinho's instructions and pressed into Leicester's half.
Their three lines are collectively linked, and each player has a clear goal and acts together.
It didn't take a few passes for Leicester to get a hard pass.
When their midfielder Drinkwater received the ball, he turned his head left and right and looked around, but he didn't find any points where he could get the ball.
"Right now, wrap him up!"
Jose Mourinho shouted from the sidelines that as long as this happens, it is the best chance to win the ball.
All the Manchester United players immediately closed the space near Drinkwater, and finally surrounded Drinkwater!
"Bang!"
There was no choice, and Drinkwater could only make a long pass and pass the ball forward.
Dardy is not a high school striker and the ball was safely taken down by Marcos Rojo to full-back Ashley Young.
Football easily fell into the hands of Manchester United.
They passed a few shots at the back, and then the full-backs on the other side, Valencia, carried the ball forward.
With the exception of the two centre-backs, all of United's players pressed forward, maintaining the number of eight attacking players up front!
All fear comes from lack of energy!
As long as they can hold Leicester down in the half, then their counter-attacking advantage will no longer exist.
Jamie Vardy, the biggest threat point, will also be unable to move an inch and not get a few chances.
"Bang ......"
Manchester United's players controlled the football in midfield and tried again and again to attack Leicester's goal.
That's when the individual qualities of their players come into play.
Every player has good possession of the ball and rarely loses possession.
A few exquisite small-scale combinations also made the Expedition Manchester United fans on the sidelines let out a burst of exclamations.
Even if the Leicester City players have a very strong desire to attack, they just can't grab it, and there is no other way.
If you pounce too hard, it is easy to lose position, and it is easy to give the opponent a free kick.
If you don't pounce, you can only watch and defend on the field in embarrassment.
They are now in a dilemma and can only go with the rhythm of Manchester United.
That's the difference in player ability!
On the sidelines, Ranieri, who wore glasses, put his hands behind his back and frowned as he pondered his team's tactics.
He was thinking about whether to play a high school striker and use simple long balls to solve the attack if he continued like this.
After thinking about it for a while, Ranieri decided that this method would work, and asked the assistant coach to call the team's senior striker to warm up.
A combination of one high and one forward can create at least a few chances.
It won't be like now, being pressed and beaten by the opponent all the time, there is no respite at all, and there is no hope of shooting at all.
While substitutions will inevitably weaken the defence, that's the only way to do it.
Glancing at the pocket watch in his hand, Ranieri was ready to make a substitution after ten minutes, about thirty minutes into the game.
"Oo......oo
But at this moment, Ranieri suddenly heard a burst of exclamations from Manchester United fans on the sidelines, and he subconsciously looked up, only to see Manchester United's Rooney pass a cross on the side, pointing straight at Lu Chenfeng!
At this time, there were no defenders within five meters of Lu Chenfeng, and the whole person seemed relatively calm.
Seeing this scene, Ranieri couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Bang."
The next moment, Lu Chenfeng, who was on the edge of the penalty area, stopped the ball with his right foot.
But helplessly, his stopping skills were too poor, and the ball was directly stopped by him in the air!
Looking at the football flying high, Lu Chenfeng knew that if he waited for the ball to fall, Morgan, who had been watching him behind him, would definitely force it up.
Now in this position, why don't you give it a kick!
Although the law of cause and effect is not yet full, he should be a little more confident when he has more than 90 shots.
In an instant, all the people who were focused on the field saw a very chic action.
With his still good coordination, Lu Chenfeng hit the ground with his right leg at the moment, jumped up with his back to the goal, and then stretched his left knee to the back, bringing his whole body to the back.
Then, he stretched out his left hand to keep his balance, and his right leg jerked towards the football!
Barb shot!
"Bang!!"
A very heavy sound permeated the entire stadium, and the football immediately changed direction in the air and flew towards the goal!
Schmeichel Jr. is known for his quick reflexes, making early saves in the direction of the ball.
But he also has a world-famous point, which is that he is slightly short and his arm span is not long enough.
Lu Chenfeng's shot was aimed near the corner of the goal.
Although Schmeichel Jr. pounced on the football with all his might, in the end, he did not touch the football because of his arm span!
The soccer ball smashed into the side net of the net, very suddenly!
No one could have predicted that Lu Chenfeng would use such a way of shooting to score a goal in this championship battle!
"yes yes yes ......!!"
The travelling Manchester United fans were the first to react, rising from their seats and cheering in a seething cheer.
The game had just started for more than 20 minutes, and it was their new recruit Lu Chenfeng who scored again!
A very dashing volley!
The connection of this ball from stopping the ball to shooting, Lu Chenfeng did a very good job.
The feeling and consistency of his shots that he showed made one wonder if he had intended to do so from the beginning.
That's why the ball was deliberately stopped high and then pulled into the net with a barb?
If he knew that others thought so, Lu Chenfeng would definitely be very embarrassed.
However, this wonderful goal, which is completely based on his own strength, also gave him great personal confidence.
After the improvement, his shooting threat has finally become bigger!
In the future, even if there is no law of cause and effect, he will not score fewer goals!
The excited Lu Chenfeng rushed to the sidelines and came to a handsome kneeling celebration at the Imperial Power Stadium.
He is treading the turf of every stadium with his knees, proving that these places that have left countless legends in history have been completely conquered by him today!
Now, his glide trail has arrived at the King's Power Stadium!
He's going to lead Manchester United to win this Community Shield!
The rest of United's players also rushed up to celebrate the goal with Lu Chenfeng excitedly.
The team is ahead, and the next game is undoubtedly much better.
Leicester's counter-attack will be suppressed first, and they will be unable to control the overall forward pressure and look for the opening of the net.
That's what they're not good at.
If they do choose to play like that, then there will be a lot less pressure on Manchester United.
Leicester City in front of goal.
"Ah......h
Schmeichel Jr. hammered the ground in frustration and complained to himself.
The rest of the team quickly gathered around him to comfort him.
"It's okay, it's just a lost goal, and the fight comes back."
"Cheer up, Schmeichel, your dad is still watching from the stands, he definitely doesn't want to see you like this."
Near the edge of the box, Japanese midfielder Shinji Okazaki stood with his hands on his waist, frustrated in his heart.
He had long heard the news of Asian-American players emerging with new talents, and he was still a Chinese.
When I saw it today, it was really so......
This kind of imaginative and accurate shooting, he can't do it anyway, even if he is more short and nimble.
Coach's seat by the pitch.
Mourinho waved his arms excitedly a few times, and smiled with the assistant coach next to him: "Easy lead, we are going to add another crown!" ”
He enjoyed it, winning multiple titles in one season and declaring to everyone that he was a dominant team!
"The play of the wind is too stable, and there have always been such fairy goals!"
The assistant coach on the side was also a little excited, and once again sighed at Lu Chenfeng's performance.
'Just wait and see, I feel like he's still going to score in this game.' Mourinho smiled and looked in the direction of Lu Chenfeng, very happy.
The other side.
Ranieri's expression became more and more ugly, and the original move of preparing for a substitution stopped.
I really conceded the ball......
The counterattack tactics he had originally envisioned were coming to an end at this moment!
Next, they may face an offensive of positional warfare.
But this lineup is going to play a positional battle with Manchester United, isn't that self-inflicted humiliation and hitting the muzzle of the gun?
"Wait a minute, we'll see in the second half."
Ranieri, who had no choice, waved his hand and signaled that he would make a substitution later, ready to let the players on the field play a positional battle for a while.
If it doesn't work, then make another substitution in the second half.
............
It didn't take long for the game on the field to start again.
After kick-off, Leicester did not have much time in possession at the back this time.
Before the United pressed up, they moved the ball forward quickly and then looked for opportunities.
Striker Jamie Vardy ran diligently, barely giving up every chance of passing, and went forward at full speed.
After Lu Chenfeng's goal, the pressure on him also increased, and he desperately wanted to take the lead for the team.
He doesn't want to lose, both at team level and at individual level!
In the 32nd minute, Vardy did get a very good chance with his hard work.
Taking advantage of Rojo's inattention, he slipped behind Rojo and then suddenly stepped forward.
"Bang."
The pass from central midfielder Shinji Okazaki was delivered quickly and with just the right amount of strength.
Vardy had no intention of stopping the ball and struck a very quick shot into the far corner of the goal.
But alas, this ball was not hit right at all!
The ball flew straight along the frame of the goal, about 50 centimeters away from the goal!
Jamie Vardy had just played too quickly and didn't look up at the goal, but based on his own feelings and memory, he shot the ball.
It also punished him and missed this great opportunity!
Vardy sat on the ground with his face covered in pain, and only got up to continue to participate in the pressure up front after a while.
The Leicester City goal on the sidelines was also full of lamentations, and they all complained about Vardy.
Their faith is now being worn out.
The pressing force that Manchester United showed, the conversion rate of a few chances that took a long time for the team to attack.
All made these Leicester fans, who were very much looking forward to the game, gradually replaced by gloom in their eyes.
This gloom was completely aggravated by the last chance of Manchester United to attack before the end of the first half.
As Leicester had to press high, the Reds' gaps in attacking space became huge.
Every time they have the ball on the counter-attack, they can create a great threat.
In the final minute of stoppage time, Anthony Martial picked up a pass from Ashley Young down the wing and started his individual show.
He first used his speed to eat raw and broke through the Japanese midfielder Shinji Okazaki, who came back from the defense.
Then there was another shaking of the body, shaking off the opponent's full-back Simpson and completely tearing open a gap!
The entire Leicester defence quickly became tense, watching the attacking players in the middle of the United as if they were on the verge of a big enemy.
Morgan, the captain with the best header ability, stood by Lu Chenfeng's side, trying to contain Lu Chenfeng's header as much as possible.
But the current Lu Chenfeng is no longer the Lu Chenfeng who can only head the ball at the beginning.
He made a bold retreat, without the slightest hint of a cross, and pointed to his feet.
"Bang."
Anthony Martial played a short ball to Lu Chenfeng before continuing to cut forward and bring away a Leicester defender.
Lu Chenfeng received the ball and turned around, facing Morgan who was forced out.
His left shoulder sank to the left, then his right foot flicked the ball to the right.
Morgan thought that he had predicted Lu Chenfeng's feint, and his center of gravity followed the direction of Lu Chenfeng's pluck.
But at this moment, Lu Chenfeng's ankle shook flexibly, hooked the football back and changed direction!
Oxtail!
"Oo......oo
There was another exclamation on the sidelines, and the huge Morgan's body was directly shaken out, and his steps became a little staggering.
Lu Chenfeng easily walked forward and cleaned him up!
Another central defender of Leicester City, Hut, immediately came over to make up for it, and rushed towards Lu Chenfeng at a high speed, menacing.
Lu Chenfeng looked like he was repeating his old tricks, and continued to sink his left shoulder to the left, and his left knee was also facing the left, and it seemed that the whole person's center of gravity was on the left.
Hu Tehui didn't mean to be fooled, and followed Lu Chenfeng's center of gravity to the left, afraid that Lu Chenfeng would repeat his old tricks.
"Bang."
He was responded to by a crisp touch of the ball.
I saw that Lu Chenfeng had already gone to the right and passed the ball over him!
The pendulum is over!
Lu Chenfeng took advantage of the physical inertia of Hute rushing over, and directly used a pendulum to pass the person and passed Hute!
"Oo......oo
The cheers of the Manchester United fans on the sidelines were even louder, because Lu Chenfeng had come to the penalty area, and there was no one in front of him!
The Leicester City full-backs who came to fill in on the side will definitely not be able to catch up with the scene for the first time!
Twice beautiful passes, Lu Chenfeng won a chance for himself to play a single goal!
In order to be safe, he took a few steps forward and after seeing Schmeichel have the intention of attacking, he stuck his right foot and pushed the ball into the far corner.
The ball rolled on the turf and swooped into the Leicester goal!
"Beep!"
Then came the sound of the referee signaling that the goal was valid!
Lu Chenfeng used his super personal ability to receive a pass from Martial in the front court, and he was strong enough to push it into the net!
Manchester United, 2-0 lead Leicester City!
"yes yes yes yes yes ......!!"
The Manchester United fans on the sidelines let out a burst of excited cheers, and all the fans stood up to celebrate this wonderful and beautiful goal for Lu Chenfeng!
They've got the win!
This season's Community Shield winner will be in Manchester United's bag in about an hour!
"It's wonderful! It's so exciting! ”
"Who said he could only head and shoot from distance? Stand up and look at his imaginative dribbling, not to mention I thought it was a player from South America! ”
"We can announce in advance, we are the champions!"
"Yes, Leicester City has nothing to do in the face of our attack, and we are not a star and a half this season!"
“......”
The fans shouted excitedly in the stands, and Lu Chenfeng's figure rushed to the sidelines again, waving his fists to celebrate with the fans who were very close.
It was the first time he had experienced the joy of scoring a goal with a dribble.
This feeling will be the feeling of the opposing players playing on the field...... So beautiful.
In the future, he must improve his dribbling and make Messi Maradona score five goals in a row!
Presumably at that time, it was really comfortable.
