Chapter Seventy-Six: Two Generations of Overlords, Win the Championship! [Ask for subscription!] 】

A draw at home to Brighton ended a great winning streak that left Leicester's players somewhat frustrated.

After returning to Belvoir on the team bus, Pearson summoned all the first-team players to the tactics room for a brief intra-squad meeting.

The players also thought Pearson was unhappy with his performance on the field and was a little uneasy.

However, what they didn't expect was that Pearson, who had always been unsmiling, smiled slightly and comforted them:

"Guys, don't be so upset. We've done well enough this season."

'We broke the league winning streak, we reached the last four of the FA Cup and secured a promotion place eight games to go.

As the manager's magnetic voice echoed through the room, the restlessness and depression in Leicester City gradually subsided.

"This draw does not negate the hard work and work we have put in for most of the previous season!"

"So, don't take it to heart, everyone go back and have a good rest!"

"Because I need you to stay focused at the last minute as well to make sure we win the next game and win the league!"

At the manager's level, the mentality of the players has calmed down a bit, so they are seriously engaged in preparing for the upcoming championship match.

It is worth mentioning that Ling Feng also received his second Championship Trophy of the Month between training!

Yes.

With the terrifying performance of contributing four goals and nine assists in seven league games in March, Ling Feng helped Leicester City win seven consecutive victories, and also won the Championship Player of the Month in March without any suspense!

This is the second time he has won the Month award this season.

He is also the only player to have won the Championship Monthly Medal twice this season.

On the same day, Ling Feng's photo of Ling Feng smiling and holding the trophy of the month once again made the front page of Leicester City's official social media and local newspapers.

Many people believe that Ling Feng, who is only 18 years old, has already locked in the award of the best young player of the Championship season this season.

The only question is, can Ling Feng be on the shortlist for the best player of the season?

Although Ling Feng's personal data and team record are very explosive.

But his personal playing time is not at all comparable to that of other players who have played most of the season.

Playing time is certainly one of the criteria for selecting the best players.

A godly performance is certainly not as good as a number of consistent performances.

After all, the league season is long, dozens of games have to be played, and the consistent performance output of the players is what the team needs.

Fans and professional football commentators alike split into two factions to discuss this.

Supporters believe that since Ling Feng was promoted to the first team in January, he has started almost every game except for rotational rest.

The combined minutes played in the league are close to 2,000 minutes.

Compared to other players who have performed well, it is only a dozen games short.

And his stats are so good, averaging one assist per game and scoring close to double figures.

Judging from the efficiency of goals and assists and various offensive statistics, he is far superior to other players and fully deserves the award of last season's best player!

The opposition believes that no matter how good the data is, Ling Feng has only played for half a season.

That doesn't mean he has the ability to perform consistently throughout the season and continue to be in such a high-profile form throughout the long season.

Therefore, the best should be awarded to the player who has been the most consistent throughout the season.

Neither side could convince anyone.

Perhaps the answer will only be revealed at the end of the month when the EFL (English Football League) officially announces the shortlist.

。。。

Three days later.

Leicester City ushered in a crucial match in the 42nd round of the league.

However, before heading off for the away game, they received a piece of good news:

In the other game that took place earlier, Burnley suffered a surprise 0-1 defeat at home to Middlesbrough!

The news came as a bit of a surprise, but it didn't get too excited or excited for the Leicester players.

After all, whether Burnley loses this game or not, as long as they win this away game against Reading, they will be able to win the league title four rounds in advance!

It is worth mentioning that the opponent who decides whether Leicester City can win the championship in advance happens to be the former Championship streak holder, the previous generation of Championship hegemons - Reading!

Reading won the Championship in 2005~06 and 2012~13.

He also broke a number of Championship records in the 05~06 season, such as consecutive wins, most wins, home wins and league points.

This year, Leicester City has broken the league winning streak and the most wins it holds.

With five games to go, it is also likely to break its record of 106 league points, among others.

This fateful duel can't help but make people sigh.

Is this the replacement of two generations of the Championship hegemon?!

Of course, Reading, who are only eighth in the league and desperately need three points to enter the promotion play-off zone, are not intended to be the backdrop for Leicester City to win the title early.

However, just when they were planning to take advantage of the home advantage to give the Blue Foxes a little color, they did not expect that Leicester City, who came to the Madeischi Stadium as a guest, did not have the consciousness of a guest.

As soon as the ball kicks off, the foxes launch a surging offensive like a tide!

In the mind of every starter on the field, there is only one thought:

Win the game!

Win the championship!

This league title is the first title in the careers of most of Leicester's players.

Therefore, with the desire for championship and glory, the Leicester City generals are constantly running on the field as if they have eaten a stimulant!

Originally, Reading's squad had one of the highest average age teams in the entire Championship.

In addition, I didn't expect Leicester City to be so fierce, and it would attack so fiercely as soon as it came up.

Unexpectedly, Reading's veterans couldn't keep up with such a fast pace.

Just ten minutes later, Reading were punctured by Leicester:

"Riyad Mahrez takes the ball on the right flank"

"Pretty!"

"Ling Feng inserted it from the ribs!"

"Direct crosses without stopping!"

"Vardy!"

Under the watchful eyes of the 24,000 fans at the Madeuschi Stadium, Vardy rushed to the edge of the box and flicked the ball with the inside of his right foot!

In an instant, the ball changed course and flew straight towards the far corner of the goal with a strong spin.

The goalkeeper guarding the near corner of the goal couldn't react at all, and could only watch the ball get into the goal from his feet!

And that's just the beginning of the goalscoring feast.

In the 22nd minute, Vardy received Ling Feng's straight plug and successfully countered offside, faced the goalkeeper with a single knife, and expanded the score with a burst shot;

In the 38th minute, Mahrez entered the penalty area, created a penalty, and scored it himself, rewriting the score to 0-3;

When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, looking at the score shown on the scoreboard, everyone knew:

Leicester City have won the Championship this season without any suspense!

There's another chapter later!
