The next few days were spent in a period of stability.

All the Leicester squad are gearing up for the final day of the year.

The fantastic half of the season is almost over, and many of the players still have a feeling of unreality.

They managed to sit top of the table in the weeks that followed, and were three points ahead of Arsenal towards the end of the half-term.

Seeing this scene, even if you don't have to say it, all the players know what to do.

Energetic, actively prepare, play a wonderful performance in the 19th round of the English Premier League against Manchester City, and win the exclusive halfway title!

This would be the best summary of their excellent first half form!

On December 30th, there is one day left until the match against Manchester City.

In the cafeteria of the training base, you can see that everyone's spirit is very different.

"Brothers, we must work hard, even if the final Premier League title is still out of reach!"

"But I think as long as we can get the points tomorrow and win the halfway championship steadily, it will still be a miracle for us to play this field!"

Morgan, the captain of the team, is always a very passionate person.

At this time, he was holding the plate in his hand, and he hadn't wiped the grease off his mouth, but his eyes were firm, "Think about it, it's our grass platform team, which is still the overlord of this league when the nineteenth round passes." ”

"This is a story that we can proudly tell in the face of our sons and grandchildren decades later!"

"We should call those people outside and let them know that no group of grassroots is easy to mess with, as long as we stand here, each of us will do our best!"

"Good!" The teammates next to him immediately cheered, slapped the table and shouted, driving the atmosphere of the scene.

At this moment, it no longer looks like a cafeteria, but like a dressing room before the war.

"I really didn't expect that in my first season in the Premier League, I would have the opportunity to win the half-marathon title exclusively."

Shinji Okazaki sat next to Chen Yufeng and Kante at this time, shook his head and sighed: "I thought that the word champion had nothing to do with me in my life. ”

"There's a chance in the Carabao Cup this season." Kanter, who was next to him, laughed and said.

It seems that he is still more optimistic about the League Cup than the distant Premier League, where the team really has little hope.

"We've been in such good shape for a while, if we can really make it to the final......"

Kante didn't continue, just lowered his head and laughed.

This is actually quite unimaginable for him.

He moved from Ligue 1 before the season in search of a team that could play in the highly competitive Premier League.

At that time, he was worried that Leicester City would be relegated, and there was no new hope at all.

If you want to talk about the biggest hope, it is still like what Lapinli said, get 40 points early to complete the relegation task.

"I've said it a long time ago, with me on board, you'll have a chance to win the championship."

Chen Yufeng repeated what he said to the two at the beginning of the season, with a joking meaning.

"Here we go again." Shinji Okazaki waved his hand in embarrassment, as if sneering at Chen Yufeng's confident temperament.

"Hahahaha......" Kante laughed, his dark skin showing his teeth extraordinarily white, "If you really win the League Cup, Wind, I will thank you." ”

"Is the schedule out?" Shinji Okazaki asked from the side.

"It's out, the first leg of the semi-finals on January 21, and the second leg on February 19."

Chen Yufeng said on the side, he has paid attention to these.

"Okay, then let's hope we can win the half of the race and reach the final in the League Cup as well!"

Shinji Okazaki finally sighed, and the three brothers slapped their hands together and returned to their homes, quietly waiting for the game to begin.

…………

December 31, King Power Stadium.

With more than 30,000 Leicester City fans cheering to the heart's content, the final match of the first half of the Premier League was played here.

“When you are smiling…… When you are smiling……！ ”

“The whole world smiles with you……！”

The singing that did not stop throughout the game was the best encouragement to the Leicester City soldiers who fought the pitch.

Next to the coach's bench in the stadium.

Manuel Pellegrini, the manager of Manchester City at the time, stood here a little agitated, his eyes constantly skimming his watch in his hand, as if he was very impatient.

The Manchester City substitutes and assistant coaches behind them also mostly looked confused, leaning on their seats with their heads held and looking up at the sky.

Looking towards the scoreboard on the sidelines, the glaring score hung on it.

Leicester City 1:0 Manchester City

Vardy min78

"Boom."

Pellegrini swallowed heavily, his hands on his hips, his eyes glazed over, as if waiting for a slow death.

Shortly before the change, Chen Yufeng's free kick caused chaos among the players in the Manchester City penalty area.

Immediately afterwards, Leicester City's left wing-back Riyad Mahrez was the first to complete a stabbing shot.

After the ball was saved by goalkeeper Joe Hart, Vardy had a last-minute follow-up shot!

Zero to one!

Manchester City are about to become a joke!

It will also make the whole big6 of the Premier League a joke!

They will guarantee Leicester City the exclusive halfway title!

On the other side, Leicester City boss Ratelli stood on the sidelines today in his dark blue suit with his hands behind his back.

He didn't look at his watch, but there was still a faint look of anxiety on his face, as if he was waiting for something.

Finally......

"Bang!"

At the edge of Manchester City's penalty area, as Chen Yufeng received a pass from Mahrez, a volley floated directly into the stands.

Chen Yufeng covered his face with some embarrassment.

"Beep! Beep! Beep ——! ”

The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game at the right time to announce the end of the game.

“Yeahhhhhhhhh……！！”

The scene suddenly resounded with the hysterical voices of Leicester City fans, and everyone suddenly erupted at this moment as if the emotions that had been pent up for a long time.

"We are half-way champions!" Some fans cried with joy.

"We had the halfway championship to ourselves!" Some fans excitedly added.

"England media, please tell us again, how many points we can score against a strong big6 team?!" Some fans put their hands next to their ears and pretended to be behind their ears.

"Ten points! Very! Someone else played the role of a compliment, "It's not a damn point, it's a fucking three!" We got 10 points! ”

There are too many people in tears in this game.

For this kind of small club, the possibility of winning the championship in the end is too small, and they can only regard the scene in front of them as a great success.

This is something they would not have dared to think about before the season.

Leicester fans are content!

"Vardy, you're going to be my lifelong favourite striker!"

"Mahrez, I will definitely support you to the end of your career, no matter where you go in the future!"

"And Chen Yufeng, please enjoy all this cheering, you deserve it all, you deserve it! You have brought us so many surprises! ”

"Little man Kanter, he's a taller warrior than anyone else in my heart!"

"And the hard-working Shinji Okazaki, the conscientious Drinkwater, and the Morgan who sits in the rear for us, Hut!"

"You're all the best!"

All the fans shouted out their favorite players and sent their best wishes to them.

Words no longer seem to be able to express their excitement at the moment, and many fans even took off their clothes and showed their beer bellies in the cold winter.

They weren't embarrassed, they didn't feel ashamed, they just waved their uniforms wantonly and celebrated wantonly.

"Leicester City! Come on! My son is the best! ”

On one side of the stands, Chen Binghua shouted with red eyes and raised his hands.

At such a moment of summing up the first half of the season, how could he not feel tears.

While accompanying Chen Yufeng, the scene he had imagined countless times finally came true half today.

Although it is only halfway through, this is already the end of the distance for most professional players!

"Gotta get drunk today! Have a good drink! ”

"We are all happy for your son, not only you, Lao Chen, you have to believe us!"

"Although I can't fully empathize, I can still understand a lot, we are all people with children, time flies too fast hahaha......"

Chen Binghua was also surrounded by some fans and friends he had made in Leicester City, and they also felt that their eyes seemed to become blurry, and there were hot tears on their cold faces.

Many people wrapped a scarf around Chen Binghua's shoulder again, a scarf is not expensive, and of course they are willing to give it generously to Chen Binghua as a way to express their blessings to his child, Xiao Chen.

And beside everyone, an old man who was crying and talking to his family on the phone also noticed this.

The old man spoke German, but he seemed to have a basic knowledge of English and could understand what people were saying.

When they finished celebrating with Chen Binghua, the old man walked over while wiping his tears, and his eyes quickly locked on Chen Binghua, "Are you really the father of Leicester City player Chen Yufeng?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Chen Binghua glanced at the old man.

"Your son is excellent, introduce yourself, I'm Fox's father."

Fox's father pointed to the side of the pitch and said proudly: "My son is a full-back for Leicester. ”

"Fawkes's father?"

Some fans were taken aback, and then invited the old man to the middle of the fan camp and stood with Chen Binghua.

'I used to be an amateur goalkeeper and I never imagined that my son would one day have the chance to win the halfway title in a place like the Premier League.

Fox's father looked dusty, wearing an army green coat, "I came from Austria today to watch this game, I'm really proud!" ”

The crowd around was a little moved, and many people put scarves on Fox's father and hugged him to celebrate.

Today is a happy day for everything related to Leicester City!

"Let's go! It just so happened to be Fox's father, so let's have a drink together! ”

Some fans invited Fox's father, who gladly accepted, just as if he had found an organization, and walked out of the stadium with everyone in celebration.

Chen Binghua held Fox's father's hand all the way, he knew what it all meant to a father, and the two of them were the most understanding of each other.

Off the pitch, Latrini finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Pellegrini next to him, and stretched out his hand.

"Today is a day to celebrate, sir."

La, who has always been known for his low-key and calm, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh at this moment.

"For you, it is."

Manuel Pellegrini nodded, and after shaking hands with Laschili, he pursed his lips and walked to the players' tunnel.

After taking a few steps, he couldn't help but glance back.

For some reason, he suddenly had some envy for this Lapinli who had spent half his life in the coaching position......
