Leicester City's win over Manchester United at home to make the big news in the fifth round of the Premier League.

With defending champions Manchester City drawing at home to Blues Chelsea, all matches in the first five league games have come to an end.

As for the standings, some people are happy and some are worried:

At the top of the list is Chelsea, the "Blues" who were favored by the public before the season!

With targeted signings in the summer transfer window and the tactics of "Madman" Jose Mourinho, the Blues have been on a winning beat from the start of the season!

Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa worked together to see Eden Hazard get better and better, with John Terry and Gary Cahill building an iron-clad defence

Four wins and one draw, 13 points!

The second year of Mu in the second phase of Mu, the blue army with BUFF superimposed is simply invincible!

And in second place, it is not the defending champion Manchester City, nor Arsenal, which continues to strengthen this season, but the dark horse of last season, the "Saints" Southampton!

Last season, under the leadership of Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino, Southampton, with Lallana, Luke Shaw, Lambert, Lovren, etc., achieved a good eighth place in the league.

And in this summer's transfer window, this youth army has been almost dismembered!

thought that with the loss of a large number of main players and the poaching of the manager, Southampton's results this season would definitely plummet, and even fall into the quagmire of relegation.

Unexpectedly, under the reasonable introduction of reinforcements and the leadership of the new coach Ronald Koeman, the Saints, who have undergone a major change in the lineup, will continue to show shocking combat effectiveness in the new season!

Although the start was not smooth, first losing to Liverpool and then drawing with West Bromwich Albion.

However, in the next three rounds of the league, the team ran in smoothly with the Saints, and directly came to a wave of three consecutive wins!

Among them, new signings such as wide fast Masadio Mane, Serbian commander Tadic, Italian big center forward Pelle, and Chelsea loan fullback Bertrand have performed eye-catching, helping the team to finish second in the standings.

And Leicester City, the super promoted horse "Blue Fox" who has shown the appearance of a dark horse this season, has won three wins, one draw and one loss in the first five rounds of the league after returning to the Premier League after ten years!

With a performance that surprised everyone, with a goal difference, it ranked third in the league standings!

This season, Leicester City's performance is obvious to all.

Especially on the offensive side!

No one thought that Leicester City, which swept all teams in the Championship, would dare to continue to hold high the banner of offensive football after being promoted to the Premier League!

Thanks to the onslaught tactics of high pressure and the tacit play of the four-man group in the front court, the team's offensive firepower is ferocious, and it has scored thirteen goals in five rounds!

Second only to Chelsea with 16 goals!

On the other hand, the other two teams that are also promoted to Leicester City this season, Burnley and Queens Park Rangers, are second and third from the bottom.

This has caused many football experts and fans to have the same doubts:

It's the same promoted horse, why is there such a big gap?!

What's more worth mentioning is that this season's traditional giants have had a bit of stumbling at the beginning.

Among the top six teams in the standings, except for Chelsea at the top of the table and Arsenal in fifth, the remaining four teams are unexpected dark horses.

Southampton, Leicester City, Aston Villa, Swansea!

Of the four, only Southampton finished in the top half of the table last season.

Defending champions Manchester City are only seventh, while last season's runners-up Liverpool are eleventh.

Among them, the most disappointing performance of all the heroic teams is the "Toffee" Everton, which was ranked fifth last season!

In the first round, Leicester City beat them 4-2, and in the third round, they were beaten 3-6 by Chelsea away from home, and they almost lost their confidence.

The number of goals conceded in five rounds has reached a staggering fifteen, and the average number of goals conceded per game has reached a staggering three!

The defensive end is like window paper, which can be broken with a single stab.

And the points ranking has also directly achieved a big landslide, temporarily ranking seventeenth in the standings and becoming the goalkeeper of the relegation zone!

Of course, there are 38 rounds in the Premier League.

It's only been five rounds now, and it's not too early to tell.

However, judging from the current performance of the three promoted teams, the vast majority of people believe that Leicester City has no problem with relegation this season!

It can even hit a mid-to-upper position!

After carrying the devil's schedule in the first five rounds of the game, Leicester City will usher in a relatively easy schedule next:

The opponents in rounds 6 to 10 are Crystal Palace, Burnley, Newcastle, Swansea and West Bromwich Albion!

These five teams, except for Swansea, who have also performed impressively this season, are basically teams in the middle and lower reaches.

As a promoted horse, if you want to be relegated, in addition to beating several direct competitors who are relegated, you have to get as many points as possible on the middle and lower teams.

After the first five rounds of the league, both Pearson and the Blue Foxes have accumulated great confidence.

Relegation?

I stepped on a horse and directly competed for the championship!

Of course, this was just a little ridicule and a beautiful vision in Ling Feng's heart.

Although the personal confidence is bursting, the team's form is also exploding.

However, with the depth of Leicester City's squad and defensive strength, let alone the Premier League champions, the top six are relatively reluctant.

What's more, the team returned to Europe after 53 years, and it is still responsible for the task of impacting the Europa League!

In the prize money distribution plan for the Champions League and Europa League announced by UEFA in September, the total prize money of the Champions League has reached an astonishing 900 million euros!

The bonus is divided into two parts, a fixed part as well as a floating part.

The fixed portion is 500 million euros and is distributed according to the results of the 32 participating teams.

The floating portion is distributed according to the team's TV share share.

And every team that enters the Champions League will be able to get 8.6 million euros guaranteed.

In the group stage, one million euros for each win, and half a million euros for a draw.

Advance from the group and receive €3.5 million.

If you continue to advance, you will receive more and more bonuses.

Some statistical agencies have calculated that if a team wins all of them in the group stage of the Champions League and can finally win the Champions League Big Ears Cup.

Then the winning team will receive 37.4 million euros in prize money!

And that's not even counting the TV share of the broadcast!

Considering that the winning team tends to have very high ratings, then the champion team must make a lot of money.

That's the big pie that all teams want a piece of!

This is also the reason why the major league teams are desperately competing for Champions League qualification, and Wenger must fight for four every year!

Of course, the Champions League has nothing to do with Leicester City.

And the prize money of the Europa League is not as much as expected.

Compared to the 900 million euros in the Champions League, the total prize money in the Europa League is only 200 million euros.

Of this amount, 120 million euros are fixed and 80 million euros are floating.

There are 48 teams competing in the Europa League, each with a guaranteed prize fund of €1.3 million.

Compared to the guaranteed prize money of the Champions League team, it is a far cry.

In the group stage, Europa League teams receive €200,000 for each win and €100,000 for a draw.

The prize money for the first place in the group stage is 400,000 euros, and the prize money for the second place is 200,000 euros.

Roughly calculated, the champion team won all the way from the beginning of the group stage to the end, and the final total prize money was less than 10 million euros.

Even so, countless teams are proud to play in the Europa League.

After all, although the Europa League is not as good as the Champions League, it is also a European competition!

When two teams compete for the same player, the team that qualifies for Europe will definitely have the advantage.

For a Premier League promoted horse, being able to come to a European stage like the Europa League is beneficial and harmless.

In addition to making money, you can also touch the strong teams in other leagues and sharpen the team's combat effectiveness.

The most important thing is that it can greatly enhance the team's popularity and influence!

As a result, Pearson confessed to his players before the start of the season that he would focus on the league and the Europa League this season.

However, even if the FA Cup and League Cup are strategically abandoned, under the two-front battle, the Blue Foxes, who have a weak squad in the latter part of the season, will definitely suffer a huge test.

Once the main players are injured, the strength and form of the team will definitely fluctuate seriously.

Therefore, we still have to work steadily, step by step.

As for the final ranking in the league, we will know when we finish the last game of the season!

。。。

The club is thrilled by the team's excellent record in the Premier League.

Thanks to the team's excellent record, both the market price of the club and the stock price of the tourism group behind Vichai have skyrocketed!

After beating Manchester United, one of the most well-known and influential clubs in the Premier League and the world, Leicester City's fan base has skyrocketed.

For this reason, Vichai specially held a luxurious dinner.

A variety of seafood feasts and Thai delicacies delight the coaches, players and staff from all over the club.

And just when the atmosphere of the team was peaceful, Ling Feng also ushered in two good news.

First, after a few days of interviews, he found a suitable bodyguard as well as a personal chef.

The bodyguard is a former special forces soldier named John, who served in the SAS (Special Air Service Regiment).

And when he saw this bearded old brother for the first time, Ling Feng once suspected that this old brother's surname was Price.

SAS spoke up, with a big beard and a name named John

Perhaps it was this coincidence that Ling Feng finally chose this taciturn old brother.

The private chef is a thirty-two-year-old Chinese named Jack Chow.

It is worth mentioning the resume of this old brother!

With 17 years of culinary experience, he worked as a chef at Noma, a three-Michelin-starred high-end restaurant known as the "ceiling of Nordic cuisine" and the number one restaurant in the world four times.

A variety of dishes are available at your fingertips, and the deliciousness of the dishes is mouth-watering.

However, perhaps because he had a different opinion on the cuisine from the chef, he ended up directly stir-frying the chef's squid.

Generally speaking, a chef of his caliber can find a job in any Michelin-starred restaurant in the world.

However, he got tired of continuing to listen to the chef do this and that, and decided to become a chef who could be his own master!

Therefore, during the interview, he put forward one of his own conditions.

That is, Ling Feng can't dictate what dishes he makes, but lets him play freely!

Of course, as a private chef, he will make corresponding nutritious meals according to the needs of Ling Feng's employer.

And after tasting the other party's craftsmanship, Ling Feng accepted this condition without hesitation.

Compared with Lao Zhou's delicious and healthy food, he suddenly felt that the meals in the base canteen were all things!

With bodyguards and a personal chef in place, plus Sophia as a life assistant, his personal team has reached three.

Of course, the expenses of the professional team are not cheap.

The annual salary of a private chef is 200,000 yuan, and that of a bodyguard is 300,000 yuan.

Coupled with Sophia's annual salary of 200,000 yuan, Ling Feng will spend 700,000 pounds a year just to feed these three people!

Still, the money is affordable for a Premier League star who earns more than £5 million a year.

What's more, this 700,000 is definitely worth the money.

These three people can improve Ling Feng's quality of life off the field and be more efficient, so that he can focus more time and energy on the field.

In addition to the growth of the star's team, another piece of good news is that someone has sent him money again:

Mendes called him and said that the head of Burberry had seen him at Milan Fashion Week, thought that Ling Feng's image was very suitable for Burberry, and wanted to invite him to become the brand's global brand ambassador!

Burberry, also known as Burberry, is a British luxury brand whose main products are men's and women's clothing, cosmetics, perfumes, etc.

Among them, Burberry's trench coat is the most famous in the United Kingdom.

And for such a family, the endorsement fee for Ling Feng is 1.5 million pounds!

1.5 million a year, two years of contracting!

With the beginning of his emergence in the Premier League, Ling Feng's value in the commercial field is also rising.

If Nike waits until now to sign a contract with Lingfeng, then the price will definitely have to double!

It is worth mentioning that after signing a contract with Burberry, Ling Feng became the second footballer to cooperate with a high-end fashion brand after David Beckham!

Taking advantage of his free time after daily training, Ling Feng quickly shot a series of men's advertisements and hard photos for Burberry.

On September 26th, after finishing the filming of Burberry, Ling Feng took the hotel where the team stayed and joined the rest of the team

Tomorrow, they'll head to Croydon in south London to face Crystal Palace in the sixth round of the league at Selhurst Park!

At the same time, in a studio somewhere in London.

After six or seven hours of shooting, Barbara Parvin also completed all the tasks of shooting for a fashion magazine.

Sitting in front of the makeup table, Barbara, who was asking the makeup artist to remove her makeup, heard the female assistant's voice ringing in her ears:

"Barbara, we don't have any filming tomorrow, do you want to take a look around London?"

"Okay."

"By the way, do you like to watch football games?"

Hearing this, Barbara seemed to suddenly remember something, raised her eyebrows, and suddenly asked:

"Do you mean the Premier League?"

'That's right, it's matchday tomorrow and there are several Premier League teams in London. For example, Chelsea against Villa, Crystal Palace against Leicester."

Before she could finish speaking, Barbara suddenly interrupted:

"Leicester City!"

"I'm going to watch this one!"
