Chapter 355: Fox City is a big treasure trove

After the eighth round of the Premier League, the Premier League was temporarily extinguished, and the October international break arrived as scheduled.

So far in the Euro 2016 qualifiers, most of the qualifying teams have basically been determined.

However, before the start of the qualifiers, the traditional European powerhouses such as England, Germany, Spain, Italy and Belgium, which were favored by fans, or upstarts, have so far only one England achieved the top spot in the group ahead of schedule.

Belgium and Wales, which have become famous in the past two years and whose overall value has risen like a rocket, are inseparable

Germany and Poland are also battling it out for the top spot in the group.

Spain and Italy also need the next game to firmly establish the top spot in the group.

Only England, who won all eight qualifying games in the first row, had already qualified easily early.

Although the strength of the other competitors in this group is indeed not strong.

But being able to achieve eight consecutive wins in the qualifiers is enough to show that the current England is no longer the embarrassing "pseudo-strong team" that was not in charge of the previous two years.

Huo Taigong has tasted the sweetness in promoting young people.

In the past two years, after promoting Harry Maguire and Bertrand to the starting line-up, he has made a big push for young players such as Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane and Ross Barkley.

This will undoubtedly help to restore the strength of the England squad quickly.

After qualifying for the top spot in the group in advance, Huo Taigong also selected more newcomers to play the two European preliminaries in October for the England national team.

For example, Drinkwater, Allis, John Stones, and Kieran Trippier, who has joined Chelsea this season and has played well.

On 9 October at Wembley Stadium, England took on the challenge of Estonia.

In this world preliminaries, Huo Taigong directly put Trippier, Maguire and Bertrand on the back line, all three players from Chelsea, to the start.

Huo Taigong has a certain tactical experimental nature in this starting arrangement.

But when three Chelsea players appeared in the national team's backline, many England fans also felt that it was "appropriate".

No way, the first impression that Chelsea has given many English fans in recent seasons is that they are strong defensively.

And in the World Qualifiers that day, several Chelsea players in the England backline were indeed very solid.

Kieran Trippier and Bertrand's strong back-cutting attributes in attack have also been a big help to England's attacking variations up front.

Harry Kane, who started up front, benefited greatly from this, scoring twice in the day's game and winning the Man of the Match award.

England also beat Estonia 4-0 in the end, and the win was very beautiful.

Of course, the post-match advocacy was indispensable to the English media.

However, compared with the same pompous hype in the media, fans in England paid more attention to Leon, who unexpectedly appeared in the box at Wembley Stadium that day.

After the game, Li Ang declined the interview requests of media reporters, and Maguire also took the initiative to say that they invited Li Ang to watch the game today.

But the media in England always want to make big news.

After all, it is indeed very abnormal for a star of the level of Li Ang to have not played in the national team.

Naturalization in England is a very simple thing for Leon now.

If he wants to, nod his head and the FA will quickly take care of the chores for him.

Think about it, now the front and back are full of "young talents", but there is still a lack of a leading big brother in the middle, England will be strong after having Leon?

It's not just the sports media in England who entertain themselves, many fans in England and even in Spain often talk about having Leon join their national team.

Even if Li Ang has spoken out more than once through the brokerage team before, he has stated that he will never consider changing his nationality.

But that didn't stop fans in England and Spain from continuing to covet him...... Skills!

In football, you should never say that something is impossible, what if it happens?

The related topic has once again been hyped up.

After returning home after watching the game, Li Ang was also a little speechless after seeing the relevant public opinion news.

Anyway, he has refuted the rumors enough times before, and it is not bad this time.

After once again asking the agent team to issue an announcement to clarify, Leon no longer appeared in public to watch the England team's game.

Sure enough, the topic of discussing his joining the England national team only lasted for two days before dropping.

And with the international break over, England fans, who have been eating public opinion melons for a few days, have once again turned their attention to the Premier League, which is about to rekindle the flames.

Leon ended his ban and was finally able to make his Premier League debut again.

In the ninth round of the league, he and his teammates will go to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City, who are currently unbeaten in the Premier League.

The Foxes at the start of the season took the place of Swansea and Southampton in the dark horses of the previous two seasons.

In the first eight rounds of the league, there were four wins and four draws without a defeat, and he is currently ranked fourth in the Premier League with 16 points, full of momentum!

And their record includes some of the best performances in defeats over the Hammers, draws against Tottenham and Arsenal.

Therefore, they are currently fourth in the Premier League, and it cannot be said that they have taken advantage of the schedule.

At least this Foxes side has withstood the test of their mid-table opponents in the Premier League.

And they can play on a single line this season, as long as they are not dragged down by the League Cup and FA Cup, then they are likely to reach the European places.

The main players in the Chelsea squad will not have the idea of underestimating Leicester City because of the cautious advice of the coaching staff.

Of course, Leon will not be able to.

Although he is not optimistic about Leicester City this season, he can still create a myth of counterattacking to win the championship.

But he still believes that Leicester City can transform into a tenacious and tenacious Premier League top team.

Just like last season's Liverpool.

Such teams cannot pose any real threat to eventual title contenders Chelsea and Manchester City, but they have the quality to cause enough problems for title contenders.

If you don't believe me, ask the veteran players in Chelsea and Manchester City what their three least favourable teams were in the Premier League last season.

Their least favorite teams to meet are definitely each other, the third dislike is hard to say, but the second dislike is definitely Liverpool!

That's not a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, it's a flat-headed brother who can't be killed!

If you don't accept it, you have to do it! If you can't win, you have to do it!

Anyway, it just doesn't make the opponent happy.

Leon is full of interest and mental preparation for today's match against Leicester City.

In contrast, his teammates were not underestimated, but they were shocked by Leicester's transformed strength in the opening stages of the game.

Compared to last season, Leicester City in the new season is completely another team of different types and levels.

At first glance, they don't have many main players, but the overall tactical structure is completely different.

Ranieri has made Leicester's attacking and defensive capabilities more balanced, and has also directly activated the two strikers of Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy.

It's an amazing thing.

After all, neither of them is young anymore, and there is no such thing as a young talent suddenly having an epiphany about his strength improving by leaps and bounds.

Last season, neither of them scored more than 10 goals in the league combined, but now that they have only played eight games in the league, they have combined to contribute 10 goals and five assists!

This offensive efficiency is simply amazing!

The two also directly turned into popular fried chicken in the Premier League.

Well, the old fried chicken is also fried chicken!

Now full of self-confidence, Riyad Mahrez opened the game by directly past Cesar Azpilicueta, who was marking him, and completed a threatening shot.

Vardy was not far behind, and in the 7th minute of the opening game, he received Albrighton's diagonal cross against offside!

If it weren't for Maguire's bold and decisive tackle to destroy the ball first, Vardy might have really scored a single goal!

With the right tactical system, strikers with the right strength can always put on amazing performances.

Riyad Mahrez's individual ability, Vardy's movement and nose in front of goal have managed to impress the Chelsea coaching staff at this moment.

However, at this time, Mourinho is still stable, after all, his attacking players are better, and the players he has coached have all-round monsters like Ronaldo.

But when Chelsea got the attacking initiative and began to press Leicester City across the board.

Mourinho's eyes were stunned and broke into a figure who ran diligently and had a very high defensive rate!

"Oh my God! Where did Leicester City dig up such a monster? He's just as good as Leon! Did he really only play a full Ligue 1 league last season?! ”

Holland did not hold his breath, sitting in the coach's seat and exclaiming repeatedly, but Mourinho had already memorized the name of the short midfielder at this time.

Canter!

The black midfielder only moved to Leicester City from Ligue 1 in the summer window, and it was only in the last league game that he completely cemented his starting place at Leicester City.

Mourinho wondered how Ranieri found the diminutive midfielder and how he was determined to correct his main position.

He is now interested in the player, just as he has always been interested in the excellent midfielder.

Kanter didn't know that he had been written down by the madman.

He was just a little nervous and looking forward to a collision with the Chelsea midfield trio.

And under his tireless running and sweeping, Kroos looked a little embarrassed in the first twenty minutes of the game today.

It can't be helped, Kroos just doesn't like this kind of defensive player who has a lot of running ability, a fierce steal and covers a wide area.

When he first met Leon at Bayern, he was restricted from playing by Leon in this way.

But fortunately, now he has adapted to more midfield positions, playing in the midfield and being grabbed by Kante uncomfortable, he took the initiative to retreat to the position to take the ball.

As for the work of holding the ball and propulsion, it must be handed over to Li Ang to do.

He couldn't withstand Kante's sweeping interception, but Leon could still withstand it.

The midfield combination of Danny Drinkwater and N'Golo Kante is very good, but both of them are not too good at Leon.

Because Li Ang is good at skill and strength, when he has an absolute advantage in power, he will not play anything elegant, and he will be over with the ball like a tank!

Chelsea's attacking system is still running relatively smoothly under Leon's continuous advancing passing.

The Leicester City fans at the King Power Stadium watched this scene at this time, and their faces were full of helpless wry smiles.

"This is Leon! His physical and technical versatility allows him to always come up with the best way to deal with different situations!

N'Golo Kante was very good today, and Danny Drinkwater was good, but they couldn't contain Leon's play.

And as long as this core player of Chelsea can perform normally, there will be no suspense that Chelsea's suppression of Leicester City will come......"

The commentator for Sky Sports England shook his head and continued to praise Leon's steady play.

And as he said, under the leadership of Leon, Chelsea successfully suppressed Leicester City's attacking play after spending the first 20 minutes of the opening 20 minutes with Leicester City!

Timid Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, who had previously given the neutral fans a lot of surprises, also had to drop back to assist their team-mates in defence.

Overall, Leicester's back line is actually playing pretty well.

They didn't look flustered under Chelsea's pressure, and Morgan was well marked by Suarez in the box.

But they can't stand Chelsea's top attacking standards on both flanks!

Leon is in control of the distribution of the offensive ball, but he doesn't have much control of the ball himself at this time, he just uses his super personal propulsion ability to continuously deliver cannonballs to his teammates on both wings.

Suarez has kept too much of the Leicester defenders at bay in the middle.

So the time for the Belgian wings of Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne to perform came.

The duo took turns to get the ball to the left and right defences of Leicester City, combined with the two full-backs to attack the edges.

The individual strength is far from being the top Leicester City's left and right full-backs, and it is called a hard work.

Chelsea were not impatient in attack, but rather patiently wore down the patience and energy of Leicester defenders.

With a corresponding reduction in attacking errors, Chelsea rarely lost key possession in attack.

Leicester don't have a lot of counter-attacking frequency, and their efficiency in seizing opportunities to switch between attack and defense is not highlighted at all.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Chelsea was stunned to catch Leicester City's right-back Simpson interception error, which completely tore Leicester City's back line!

N'Golo Kante's dashing return meant Hazard had to abandon the idea of cutting inside into the Leicester penalty area.

However, the Belgian winger's return pass still accurately found the inserted Leon!

Morgan attacked and intercepted at the first time, but Leon hung the ball behind him!

Suarez, who easily stepped forward and hit the ball!

Schmeichel was a little slower to get off the ground by half a beat, and the ball finally got into the net in the near corner of the Leicester goal!

It took almost half-time for Chelsea to break down Leicester's defence and score the first goal of the day.

Many Chelsea fans were subconsciously relieved in front of the TV, and they also had a rare feeling of the resilience of the opposition defence.

Mourinho was also standing on the sidelines at the moment, applauding his disciples, but his eyes always wandered to the Leicester half......

This new season's Fox City has become a big treasure trove~
