Chapter 60 Arrogant Alain Pardu, Free Kick Kick as a Penalty! (Plus more for various tickets)
Returning to the Leicester City training base, the next few days were followed by an eye on the EFL Cup quarter-finals.
After playing Crystal Palace in the next round of the Premier League, they will travel to Hull City's home stadium to face Hull City for a place in the semi-finals.
Whether it's the EFL Cup or the FA Cup, winning the title is actually very significant, especially for a small team like Leicester City.
Now, there's an event on the horizon and they're certainly not going to let him slip away easily.
On the 10th and 23rd, there was one day left before the 10th round of the Premier League.
Claudio Ranieri concluded the pre-match intra-squad meeting, decided on the squad and starting line-up, and left a final word.
'I'm not going to give up on the EFL Cup, it's a trophy we can strive for this season.'
'Of course, if you handle the Premier League games well and give me and the senior management more confidence.
"Another point, if you choose the EFL Cup, the FA Cup will have to be abandoned, I want you to know in advance."
"For the second half of the fixture, we don't have that much bench thickness."
'Well, tomorrow away to Crystal Palace, expect us to play a win and get all three points.'
After saying this, Ranieri left the conference room, and the players sitting there immediately chatted noisily.
"The last time you won the EFL Cup was 2,000 years?"
"Yes."
"Then maybe we can fight hard this time, and I hope we can create an embarrassing record of not having a top championship for more than ten years."
"Yes, for more than ten years, we have nothing but the title of League One and Championship."
"Let's win tomorrow's Crystal Palace, they're not an easy opponent."
"Yes, come on, brothers!"
"Come on!"
“……”
The players cheered each other on and looked forward to it.
On October 24, Leicester City came to the home stadium of Crystal Palace to play away against this Premier League powerhouse.
The strength of Crystal Palace's various lines is very balanced, and there may not be a few very well-known stars in the team, but they are all old fritters who have been mixed in the Premier League all year round.
Under the leadership of Alain Pardu, who rose to fame at a young age, the team played at a decent level and currently sit seventh in the Premier League.
'I don't think Leicester are very good, they have too few challenges and it's an inexperienced team.
In the pre-match press conference, Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardu made a lot of nonsense, even a little proud, "And we are a first-class team with English tradition, and they will never be able to match the hardness of the pitch." ”
"As for the result you just said? Of course I'm still optimistic that the team can win at home and win them, even though I know they've been in a lot of mood lately. ”
"Thanks, I won't answer any more questions."
After the last sentence, Alain Pardu left the scene in style, just deliberately, as if he had been living in the drama of his own fantasy.
And when the game officially began, Crystal Palace took a 1-0 lead through Wilfried Zaha's wide cross and a low cross, Alan Padu's arrogance was at its peak.
“Ohhhhh……”
Basking in the frantic shouts of the fans, Alain Padwe celebrated frantically on the touchline, and even came to the Leicester City dugout to celebrate.
"Just fight like this, defeat them!"
"I've said it a long time ago, their wide defence is vulnerable, Zaha, burst him!"
Alain Pardu shouted excitedly, oblivious to the fact that Ranieri was behind him.
Several assistant coaches in Leicester City's coaching seat quickly got up with some displeasure and walked towards him, as if to ask for an explanation.
"Forget it, let him celebrate."
Ranieri's expression was flat, and he stopped his assistants.
He still looked like Tarzan had collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, as if he did not have any temper.
The game on the pitch soon resumed.
Thirty-sixth minute of the game.
Palace played a brilliant link down the left flank again, with Zaha receiving a one-two pass and breaking through the wide defence to deliver a low cross.
Outflanked in the middle, Campbell rushed forward and slotted the ball towards goal.
"Boom!" A loud iron thud rang out, and the ball hit the post and bounced to the other side.
Leicester City escaped!
Campbell didn't take advantage of this opportunity!
"It's okay, that's it, press me and beat me! Crush them with our hardness! ”
Alain Padoo, who was always on the sidelines, kept his enthusiasm high, and once again roared with wide eyes.
But on the football field, wasted chances are often punished.
Just as the ball bounced to the other side and was caught by Fox and passed to Drinkwater in the middle.
Leicester had a great chance to counter-attack.
Mahrez Valdy and Chen Yufeng rushed together at three o'clock and slotted into the backfield of Crystal Palace at high speed like a tiger, with Shinji Oka next to him doing a containment.
"Bang!"
Drinkwater played the ball to Mahrez, who didn't stop the ball and passed it straight to Vardy.
After Vardy received the ball, a simple shake of his body was a blow to the edge of the penalty area.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the Crystal Palace defender flew out of the sliding tackle in a desperate fight and tripped Jamie Vardy.
"Beep!" The referee's whistle blew quickly, which was undoubtedly a very obvious foul.
"Penalty! I'm in the restricted area! ”
Vardy sat up and quickly raised his hands and shouted at the referee.
"No, it's not a penalty, it's definitely not a penalty!"
The Crystal Palace defenders were also complaining to the referee, while constantly shaking their hands and looking innocent.
Alain Padu, who watched nervously on the pitch from the sidelines, feared his team would actually be awarded a penalty.
The position just now was too ambiguous, and everything was said in the past.
"Yeahhh......" With the cheers that quickly resounded in the stadium, Alain Pardu also waved his right hand excitedly again, as if he had survived the catastrophe.
I saw that the referee on the field did not raise his hand to the penalty area, but began to draw the line on the edge of the penalty area.
It's a free kick!
Leicester's players quickly became dissatisfied, surrounding the referee and complaining.
Vardy also received a yellow card in the process.
"It doesn't matter bro, I'll be punished for it."
At the critical moment, Chen Yufeng hugged Vardy, who was slightly out of control, and comforted him.
Vardy's chest rose and fell sharply a few times, and he hugged Chen Yufeng, "Be sure to go in and give them a good look!" ”
"Okay."
Chen Yufeng nodded slightly, came to the penalty spot with the football in his arms, and stepped on the turf to test the condition.
The goalkeeper quickly lined up the wall, and the referee's whistle sounded afterwards: "Beep! ”
"Hoo ......"
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yufeng looked at the goalkeeper's knee center of gravity to judge which side he predicted the football to land.
After seeing that it was the near corner of the human wall, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Chen Yufeng, he's going to take this free kick now."
"Let's take a look at the quality of the free throws!"
"Shoot with one kick!"
"Oh! Pretty! Pretty! Chen Yufeng sent the ball into the far corner, which is a ten-point corner, a quality that the goalkeeper has no way to save! ”
"Second free-kick goal of the season, and fourth goal in the Premier League!"
"It's unimaginable, devastating, Leicester City equalized the score through Chen Yufeng's free kick!"
Zhan Jun in the Sina Sports live broadcast room broadcast the latest battle situation for the fans all the way, and Director Zhang Lu, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but get up and applaud.
In the center of the stadium, with the football touching the net, the fans of Leicester City on the scene also broke out into a burst of passionate shouts.
"Ness! I'm going to show these dogs! ”
"Damn, it's really good for us to bully, a free kick is a penalty!"
"Yufeng, one more!"
Leicester City's teammates rushed to Chen Yufeng, while still congratulating him.
They had a relieved look on their faces, as if they had brought back all the injustices they had just done.
And Chen Yufeng, the protagonist of the goal, came to the corner flag area with a smile on his face and rowed it out again.
He said he was going to skate all the courses.
This is his signature celebration.
