As the days went by, the players of the Leicester City squad kept their fighting spirits high and tried their best to stay fit in their daily training sessions.

Everyone didn't want to end the winning streak, they wanted to make the honeymoon period a little longer.

As we enter the second half of January, Leicester City's fixture schedule is getting tighter.

The remaining three games of the month were all crammed between 1.17 and 1.23.

This means they will inevitably face a three-game situation in a week, with two Premier League games and one Carabao Cup first-legged tie.

This made Lajli feel a little embarrassed, but in the pre-match meeting on January 16, he still told everyone about his plan.

"Tomorrow, in the 22nd round of the Premier League, our opponent is Aston Villa, this team is currently suffering from serious injuries, and a large number of main players are all injured."

Pulling his finger at the schedule, he continued; "In this game, Shinji Okazaki and Chen Yufeng rotated first, and Huter and Kante also rested first."

'In the next four days, against Manchester City, I will play in my full squad and try to take the lead at home and reach the final.

As La's words fell, the players on the scene all exhaled deeply, and there was some excitement in their expressions.

They feared that Mr. Ratelli would not pay enough attention to the Carabao Cup because of his success in the league.

But now it seems that it is okay, Mr. Ratelli has fulfilled his promise and made a rotation adjustment in the league to make an all-out attack on the League Cup!

"After the Carabao Cup, in the 23rd round of the Premier League, against Stoke City, Drinkwater, Mahrez, Vardy, Morgan rested."

"This is our overall plan for January, and I hope everyone is mentally prepared."

Rakali looked around one last time, then clenched his fist, "Hopefully we can get through this month safely and there will be no landslides." ”

"Rest well and get ready for the Devil's Race this week."

He smiled one last time, then turned around and walked out.

"Leicester City ......!"

Captain Morgan then stood up in the conference room, waved his hand and shouted.

Subsequently, all the team members responded positively, "Come on!! ”

The roar resounded here, and Chen Yufeng sat in the back row, a little smile on the corner of his mouth.

Entering the second half of the race, the harvest time is fast approaching.

This team will also have their happiest time in the near future.

At that time, the train of light really passed through this history, and he really became a part of it.

It's a very different feeling.

He hopes his presence will bring good luck to Leicester in the Carabao Cup.

…………

1.17 day.

In Birmingham, the 42,000-seat Villa Park stadium was packed, with more than 48,000 Aston Villa fans pouring into the stadium today.

Before the game, Villa's fans were thrilled when they saw that Lajelli opted to play in a semi-rotational lineup.

They see the possibility of three points in this central derby, as well as hope of revenge for Leicester City's comeback to beat them!

“Ohhhhhh……”

The enduring shouts resounded at Villa Park and all the fans supported the team with their highest enthusiasm.

And Villa, who is full of injuries, used the substitute lineup to make a good start, pressing Leicester City to a crazy onslaught in the half!

In the 32nd minute of the game, there was no big surprise, Aston Villa midfielder Guy cut in front of the rib to receive a diagonal pass, and quickly swept through the middle.

Hill, who followed up at the back point, made it easy to take a 1-0 lead for Aston Villa!

Villa Park was boiling over the pitch and thought it was in the driver's seat.

And the score of 1-0 was indeed maintained until the end of the game after 80 minutes.

Chen Yufeng and Kante sat on the bench, looking at the field in a vest, with a little apprehension in their expressions.

In fact, Chen Yufeng has an impression of some classic games of Leicester City, but the memory of facing some middle and lower teams in the second half is completely gone.

He is not a god and can remember all the results.

Therefore, his mood at the moment is also relatively nervous, and his hand keeps pulling his trouser leg.

In front of him, Mr. Ratelli also looked rather restless, walking hesitantly around with his arms folded, as if expecting something.

The minutes passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, the last two minutes of the game were approaching.

As the game drew to a close, Villa's players quickly tightened their defence and prepared to secure the final victory in the safest way possible.

Leicester City naturally pressed the attack aggressively, constantly raising high balls towards the penalty area.

But Vera's air defense is good, and they have not been given much of a chance.

"Bang!!"

It wasn't until the last minute of the game that Danny Simpson, the player who had brought Chen Yufeng down happily for his first assist of the season, sent a cross again.

The four points that exploded in the Leicester penalty area all charged forward.

Chen Yufeng stretched his neck on the sidelines, looking expectantly, waiting for a miracle.

"Bang!!"

Soon, a figure wearing an away white jersey jumped high, as if unstoppable, and smashed headlong on the football.

"Ulloa!!"

All the Leicester players shouted, only to see the ball quickly smash into the bottom left corner of the goal, catching Aston Villa goalkeeper Boone off guard.

“Yeahhhhh……！”

As the shouts of the Leicester City Expeditionary Force sounded on the scene, all the players on the bench of the entire Leicester City also rushed out.

Chen Yufeng and Kanter shouted and waved, and then hugged each other.

When the team was in dire need of rotation adjustments, Ulloa stepped up to save them and earned a valuable point!

Absolutely flat!

They drew Aston Villa!

Rakli shouted after the fans in the stadium, and the sound was quickly drowned out.

Everyone looked at Ulloia's excited celebratory figure, and they all showed excited smiles.

This is the team, someone can step up at any time and save this Blue Fox.

Ulloa became the hero of today!

"Beep! Beep! Beep ——! ”

Not long after, after three whistles from the referee, the game officially ended.

Bathing in the expressions of more than 30,000 Aston Villa fans in attendance, Leicester City began a new round of celebration.

Everyone chased after Ulloa, patting him on the ass or touching his hair, as if they wanted to be happy.

Ulloa laughed and ran away, seemingly enjoying himself.

yes, who wouldn't enjoy being in a team like that......

After the game, at the press conference.

In the face of reporters' questions, Lajili finally changed his words publicly.

"We've had an unbelievable time, and we've already reached our goal of 40 percent."

Facing dozens of reporters at the scene, Lapinli gestured with one hand to six, and one hand to five, "That's why I told the players a few days ago." ”

'The next goal is to get 65 points and get into the European zone.'

"Hahahaha......" The reporters at the bottom laughed, and they could see from their faces that they were thankful that they finally had the feeling of this day.

In the face of such a reaction, Lajili also smiled, shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be a little helpless.

"After this game, Leicester City have reached 55 points, does the team really not want to challenge for the title?"

A reporter asked that they all wanted to make some topics out of the words.

Faced with this obvious trap, Lapinli just smiled, did not speak, and left the press conference in anticipation.

"Ah......h

A reporter couldn't help but sigh: "I have never seen such a steady coach." ”

…………

1.20, while actively preparing for the first leg of the Carabao Cup against Manchester City.

Chen Yufeng and Chen Binghua received two more endorsement invitations.

This time, Adidas and Puma actually came to the door together and sent them an exclusive endorsement invitation for sports brands.

The two first met with the head of Adidas at the same place where they last met the head of Nike.

When they heard that the other party was still more assertive and demanded a contract of at least four years, the father and son once again simply withdrew from the negotiations.

Chen Yufeng is still quite insistent on this aspect, and when he knows that his future development will definitely get better and better, why should he sign this long-term exclusive endorsement too early?

Isn't that stupid?

"I guess the feng shui of this place is not very good, see Puma in the afternoon, change places."

Chen Binghua smiled and began to pay attention to feng shui.

A few hours later, they moved to a café and met Puma's head of the UK region, Peter.

Peter looked to be in his forties, with a slightly fat build, and was wearing a suit that was about to explode by him.

"I've heard that you rejected Nike and Adidas, very simply."

After coming up, Peter first smiled, and spoke in a very comfortable tone, "It seems to be because of the long years?" ”

"Yes."

Chen Binghua did not hide it on this point, and he made the bottom line clear to the person in charge of Puma first.

"Forgive me for talking too much."

Peter apologized in advance, and then said seriously: "Chen Yufeng is thirty years old this year, isn't it a good thing to sign a long-term contract now?" ”

"Why are these refused? As you get older and your form declines, the contracts you will receive will get worse and worse. ”

"Because I'm more convinced that this is just my worst season." Chen Yufeng quickly took over the conversation, and he was also serious.

When Peter heard this, of course, he did not believe it, but after carefully observing the expressions of father and son, he hesitated a little.

This doesn't seem to be a rhetoric they use to raise prices......

After all, rejecting Nike and Adidas one after another already means something.

They seem to genuinely believe that the future will be better than the present!

Otherwise, how can the previous actions be explained?

But where does this self-confidence come from?

Peter thought for a while, and when he found that he still couldn't get an answer, he exclaimed, "That's not as good as us." ”

"If the two of you are really confident in the future, we can take the approach of heavy bonuses and light endorsement fees."

Heavy bonuses and light endorsements......

This is the first sports brand to come up with this approach.
