Chapter Twenty-Four: London's Only Ball King [Ask for Reading!] 】

"Welcome to King Power Stadium in Leicester!"

'This is Sky Sports, and the upcoming match is the fourth round of the FA Cup, with Leicester City at home to Premier League giants Chelsea from London!'

"In this game, Mourinho made six changes in positions compared to the start of the 3-1 win over Manchester United in the previous game. Obviously, he rotated the team's lineup..."

'Nemanja Nemanja Matic, the Portuguese Premier League player of the season who has just moved from Benfica, has been given his first start and will play alongside Frank Lampard in midfield.

'With this game, Frank Lampard overtook Bonetti to become the second-most capped FA Cup player in the club's history, just six fewer than Harris.

"At the top, it's Torres..."

"And Cheetah Eto'o, who scored a hat-trick against Manchester United in the last game, and the captain of the team, John Terry, are on the bench..."

"Leicester City, on the other hand, have also made some rotations compared to the previous round of the league."

"The most noteworthy thing is that Ling Feng, a young player who came out of nowhere against Stoke City in the last round of the FA Cup, finally ushered in the first first team start of his career after a series of excellent substitute performances!"

With the words of the on-site commentary, Ling Feng's figure appeared on the big screen of the stadium again.

As a child of Leicester City's academy, this kind of treatment is, of course, a piece of cake.

In the face of the camera, Ling Feng just smiled crookedly, which caused a burst of cheers from the female fans in the stadium, and the deer collided!

"So handsome!"

"His gray eyes are so pretty!"

Before the game, the two teams shook hands.

Although the mood is both excited and excited.

But Ling Feng still tried his best not to show the caution of his fans when they saw their idols, and faced the stars with a smile that they could only see on TV.

Frank Lampard, Eden Hazard, Ashley Cole...

And Ling Feng's first impression of Chelsea's generals is only one:

Damn, this kid looks so handsome!

When lining up to take pictures, Ling Feng stood on the far left of the second row and showed the brightest smile to the camera.

With the sound of the shutter "clicking", Ling Feng left the first photo of the first lineup.

After the captains dropped a coin, Leicester City were given the right to choose sides, while Chelsea kicked off first.

When he came to his own half, captain Morgan beckoned everyone to form a circle and cheer together:

"Let's give them a little color and see!"

Seeing his teammates fold their hands, Ling Feng also reached out and folded his teammates' hands on the back, and then shouted together with enthusiasm:

"Forward, Blue Fox !!"

。。。

With a long whistle from referee Paul Tierney, the game officially began!

Chelsea kick-off first.

Torres, the "Holy Child" in a white jersey, made a return pass, and the ball rolled to Oscar's feet.

And Oscar didn't think much about it and continued to pass back.

As the core of the team's ball-handling, the ball came to the feet of Hazard on the left flank.

In this era, Manchester United's Zaha has not yet moved to Crystal Palace, and Borussia Mönchenchen's Xhaka has not yet become the Gunners.

There's only one king in London!

That's Chelsea's left winger wearing the number seventeen, Eden Hazard!

Sharp breakthroughs and outstanding skills have made Hazard attract attention since his debut in Ligue 1 Lille.

After arriving at the Blues in 2012 as Premier League transfer champions, he quickly conquered the Blues at Stamford Bridge with his dribbling skills.

For the past season and a half, he has been ranked in the top three for success rate in the Premier League.

Even if he has not yet reached his peak, Hazard at this time is already a sharp knife on the left side of Chelsea's defense!

Hazard, who got the ball, did not hesitate at all, and went directly to the left side with the ball.

Defending him was his Belgian compatriot, Leicester City's right-back De Wright.

In his pre-match tactical preparations, Pearson emphasised that Chelsea's left flank was their main attacking direction.

Therefore, in order to limit Hazard's play, he not only asked De Wright to give Hazard more physical confrontations, but also told central midfielder Andy King, who was on the right side of the midfield, to come over and help.

However, even in the face of the two-man defense, Hazard didn't care, just swayed left and right, and with a touch of his feet, he easily hit the front of the Leicester City penalty area.

Immediately afterwards, he dribbled horizontally, and after opening up the space, he immediately swung his legs and shot angrily!

With a "bang", the ball made an inward arc in the air and flew towards the far corner of the goal.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr. was very focused, subconsciously flew to the side, touched the ball with his fingertips, let it change its trajectory, and slid out of the door!

Seeing this, Hazard couldn't help but hold his head in his hands, revealing a look of disbelief.

Dribbling from the wing, then cutting inside, shaking off the defender and finally shooting into the far corner.

He thought it must have been there.

didn't expect that Schmeichel would be so stretched in a flying posture that he directly turned the ball away.

Staring at Schmeichel with a calm face for a while, Hazard turned and ran back without hesitation.

As he ran back, he silently muttered in his heart:

"You blocked it this time, I'll score next time..."

Seeing this wave of attacks, the ball was not scored in the end.

The Chelsea fans at the scene also invariably let out a pity lament.

And the Leicester City fans in the stadium were shocked into a cold sweat.

If Eden Hazard had scored from the start, it would have been even more difficult to play.

You know, under Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, the defense has always been the strongest link!

The commentator also gave heartfelt praise for Hazard's dribbling:

"Perfect dribbling performance!"

"It's a pity that the final kick was not completely handled, if the arc is more tricky, even if Schmeichel comes, it will be difficult to save the ball..."

As soon as Hazard came up, he knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger.

But that's just the beginning...

After the conversion of the ball, what the Leicester City coaching staff and players on the field did not expect was that Chelsea, which has always focused on defensive counterattacks, actually took a high pressure at the King Power Stadium?!

Starting with Fernando Torres at the front and then Nemanja Matic at the back, the whole formation was pressed.

Matic, in particular, followed closely behind Ling Feng like a shadow, preventing him from taking the ball easily.

In desperation, central midfielder Dean Hammond, who retreated to pick up the ball, could only pass the ball to the wing.

However, Norkelt on the left was just two more steps before being caught between two Chelsea players and quickly lost possession.

The ball was quickly converted.

In the next second, a Chelsea player wearing a white jersey rushed towards Leicester City's backfield like a white tide, putting great pressure on the backline.

Looking at this scene, Pearson, who was originally sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai platform, suddenly got up from his seat with a solemn expression.

He never expected that the visiting team Chelsea would actually put on an attacking posture as soon as they came up.

Pearson was taken by surprise by such an "unusual" performance by Chelsea.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Mourinho in the away team's dugout.

"Portuguese, what the hell are you up to..."
