Chapter 23: Facing the Hammers and West Ham United! (Ask for follow-up)

Not long after, in the London Olympic Stadium, the home of West Ham United, the second round of the English Premier League was already in full swing.

The Hammers will play West Ham United at home against Leicester City, who wear a dark brown shirt.

Ranieri stood on the sidelines early and looked intently at the field.

Not far from him is West Ham United coach Bilic.

“I am forever blowing bubbles!”

“Pretty bubbles in the air!!”

More than 30,000 West Ham fans at home sang their anthem, and although the lyrics were cute, the whole state was menacing.

This has always been a tradition at West Ham as a club, and they are a fierce and hard-blooded team, known for their toughness and toughness of their players, hence the nickname The Hammers.

Swept away by the momentum that had just won over the favourites Arsenal, West Ham fans sat at home this round and were expecting a big win.

However, not long after the start of the game, their arrogance slowly dissipated.

They found that Leicester City didn't seem to be as vulnerable as the outside world said, and they didn't seem to be a soft persimmon to pinch.

Looking at the field now, the integrity of this team is still very strong, and the hardness in all aspects is also good, at least it is not inferior to West Ham United.

At times, they launched counter-attacks with a palpable level of threat, with Mahrez's breakthroughs often making their defenders very uncomfortable.

Not to mention, even their coveted Wonder Boy Vardy, whose twin centre-backs are largely unretiring as long as he is up front.

In this way, time passed minute by minute, and the scene seemed to be a little frozen.

On the other side of the pitch, in the Leicester City Expedition fan area, in the front stands, an expectant Asian face is particularly eye-catching.

He was wearing a delicate suit pants and a white shirt, with a gray hat, and his whole person looked full of energy, as if today was his special day.

This is Chen Yufeng's father, Chen Binghua.

Today, instead of going to the VIP stands above the pitch with Vichai as he did in the last game, he chose to come here with the Leicester City fans.

Feel the purest football, the most passionate viewing experience!

Of course, there is one most important reason, he wants to see Chen Yufeng's play more closely!

After Chen Yufeng proved that he had a chance to play in the last round of the game, Chen Binghua's mood was getting better and better day by day, and the whole world seemed to be a little brighter.

From that time on, Chen Binghua decided that he must come to the fan stands to watch the child's performance in every game.

Today, he's here.

…………

Off the pitch.

N'Golo Kante and Chen Yufeng are once again on the bench and looking forward to playing.

After a good performance in the last game, they still don't have Ranieri's full trust and have to sit back for a while.

As for their good friend Shinji Okaki, he walked a little faster than the two.

He was still a starter today, up front.

Kante, of course, was a little uncomfortable when he saw this scene, feeling that he was not fully supported.

Of course, Chen Yufeng next to him is nothing.

After waiting for eighteen years, of course he can survive a few games.

"I feel like we might have to bring in the two of us in the second half."

N'Golo Kante said next to Chen, "Are you confident you can score or assist?" ”

"Yes."

Chen Yufeng nodded slightly.

"If only I had the confidence you have."

Kante sighed slightly, then said: "You know, players like me don't usually have too much stats. ”

"Do you think this is the reason why Ranieri didn't let me start, for fear of affecting the attack?"

He muttered to himself a little depressed, "I don't think my high-speed propulsion ability and passing are bad, but I rarely assist." ”

"Of course you're not because of that, maybe Mr. Ranieri just got you used to it."

Chen Yufeng replied, and according to his memory, Kante seemed to be playing in the starting position soon.

As for himself, he appeared in this world in the sky, and it is difficult to say what the future holds.

Maybe a replacement for Albrighton?

This position is similar to him, but relatively weak.

Chen Yufeng didn't know, he could only slowly improve his hard power, wait for playing time, and play his worth.

It won't be too late......

Kante wanted to say something, but after being touched by Chen Yufeng with his elbow, he followed Chen Yufeng's gaze and looked at the court.

West Ham launched a swift counter-attack, quickly past Leicester's half, and on the flank, through a simple link to the wall, the ball was passed to the feet of left-back Cresswell who had come up from the flank.

"Bang!" Cresswell's cross was delivered quickly and the ball flew very quickly towards the centre of the box.

With Morgan and Huth in good positions, the ball is not too threatening.

However, Schmeichel Jr. was a little flustered when he saw the opposing attacking team rushing up, jumped up and prepared to smash the ball with one punch.

Inevitably, Schmeichel smashed a punch into the head of Huter, who was battling for the top.

The two of them also made a mistake in defensive coordination, and both of them jumped into the air and let the ball fly through the middle.

At this moment, Leicester City's backline was left with nothing to do in an instant.

West Ham Payet, who was at the back post, didn't waste that chance and smashed the ball into the back of the net unmarked!

“Yeahhhh……!!” The West Ham fans at home burst into a very enthusiastic cheer.

The scorer, Payet, waved his hands and rallied his teammates to the sidelines to celebrate.

Bilic, who was next to the coach's seat, was even more excited, throwing punches again and again, and finally hugged the assistant coaches.

1 to 0!

They took the lead at West Ham!

At the edge of the penalty area, Hut and Schmeichel looked at each other, and finally bowed their heads with some self-reproach.

They blamed themselves for not responding, not communicating with their teammates, and finally caused this inexplicable goal.

Now, it's not just the team that is in trouble all of a sudden.

The pizza appointment with Ranieri also had to be postponed......

"It's okay, it's okay, can you keep coming?"

Ranieri on the sidelines clapped his hands and encouraged the players on the field, "One goal doesn't change anything, no team doesn't concede a goal." ”

"Intensify the attack!"

His voice was very small, and at the moment, under the impact of the cheers of the West Ham United fans, it was not even audible from five or six meters away.

But combined with his whole body movements and demeanor, as well as the vaguely catchable mouth shape, the Leicester players can still know what he is talking about.

All the Leicester players gestured towards Ranieri one after another, with many giving their thumbs up to signal they were unaffected.

Since last season's thrilling relegation journey, the players of this team have experienced life and death together, forming a strong bond!

They encourage each other, trust each other, and will not be defeated by easy failure!

Even if they fall behind, they will fight with all their might!

"Fox, warm up at halftime, go up in the second half, and get involved in the attack."

After saying that, Ranieri also turned to the players on the bench and said, it seems that he is going to make a big counter-offensive adjustment in the midfield.

'N'Golo Kante replaced Andy King in the second half and he wasn't in good form today.

"You've got to mess up their midfield possession when you go up, you know? Let's give up the midfield scramble and just use you to do the sweeping and distractions and make them mess up, okay? ”

Kante and Fox nodded immediately, especially Fox, who hasn't actually played this season.

The two of them quickly got up from their benches and started warming up first, as if they couldn't wait for the break to get around.

"Ukaze."

Just when Chen Yufeng was a little disappointed, he suddenly heard Ranieri's shout.

Looking up, Ranieri walked with a solemn expression, as if he wanted to explain some important task.

At this moment, Chen Yufeng's heart turned around again.

He knew that his second appearance might be coming......
