Chapter 31: European Places Basically Secure, Vardy Celebrates with Champagne (Asking for Monthly Tickets)
After this game, Leicester City moved to 59 points in the Premier League, one step away from breaking 60.
Once they have more than 60 points, they have almost secured a place in the European zone.
There are still 14 rounds of the Premier League ahead, so it's impossible not to score any points, right?
Unless it's like the current Aston Villa, a large number of main players are all injured, and it is difficult to find a win in ten rounds.
Otherwise, their European place is already secured.
And if you open the current standings, you can find an amazing fact.
Leicester City are of course still firmly at the top of the table, having been sitting until now after thirteen rounds.
But according to common sense, Leicester City drew in succession in the second half of January, and now at least one team should catch up, right?
In response, Arsenal and Tottenham said that they did not have that idea at all, and waved their hands again and again......
Tottenham Hotspur started too weakly, and when the thirteen rounds of the league passed, there were six draws and two defeats, with only 21 points.
Arsenal was actually very good in the first half of the season, except for the 4-0 defeat by Southampton, a mid-to-lower team, at the end of the season, their winning rate was still okay, and it was relatively close to Leicester City at that time.
But after entering the second half, Arsenal directly played a wave of four rounds without a win......
Yes, they didn't take advantage of Leicester's weakness to catch up on the points, but instead gave away some points to help Leicester extend their lead.
Now that Leicester City has reached 59 points, Arsenal have only a pitiful 46 points, which have been equalled by Tottenham, who are in hot form later, only because of the goal difference advantage in second place.
Twenty-four rounds of the league have passed, and the difference of 13 points is ......
This is undoubtedly huge, and in the past, I am afraid that the champion could be directly announced in advance and lose suspense.
But because the first place is Leicester City, which has been in inconsistent form recently and has just passed a turbulent period, no one has mentioned this yet.
There are even a lot of optimists who believe that Arsenal and Tottenham will definitely rush to the front at a later stage.
After all, if you ask them to really imagine that Leicester City will still beat the big clubs after the season, they really can't imagine it.
Who is Leicester?
Could it be Kaiserslautern, is it Super Laco?
Don't be funny, there are already countless people who have spoken their minds, which is simply not possible in modern football!
So, in this bias.
Even if Leicester City wins again, they can salvage the decline that was previously hyped by the media.
Fans of other teams didn't say much other than a little bit of peace.
They are now in a very shameless state, looking like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
If you lose, I'll rush up and scold and taunt you.
If I win, then I'll just stop talking, and it won't cost anything anyway.
In short, I just don't believe that you can win the championship, what can you do?
But this actually has little impact on Leicester City, who do not need the trust and support of these people.
The ball is for themselves, the glory is for themselves, and the only thing they care about is the Leicester City fans who like them.
Leicester City's players are even complacent about the chance to win a European spot.
At a rotisserie in Leicestershire, Vardy and Morgan paid out of their own pockets to bring all the team members to a big meal.
Although this diet is not approved of by the team's nutritionists, it is certainly okay to celebrate once in a while, and it will not affect their form, as long as it is not too indulgent.
After more than half a season, what's wrong with enjoying it?
On this day, a lot of lobsters are pushed to the table, hairy crabs and all kinds of fish, and everyone is happy to eat here.
"Morgan, if this meal is fifteen thousand euros, you eat at least two thousand euros by yourself."
Seeing a large number of seafood shells placed next to Morgan, Andy King next to him couldn't help but laugh: "No wonder it's fat." ”
"Fat is strong against strong."
Morgan didn't feel anything, puffed out the muscles of his arms, and showed a big smile, "I'm going to have to eat my money, it's what Vardy and I paid for." ”
"Hahahaha......"
The people around them laughed, and they were always happy and happy to stay in such a big family.
"With the qualification for the European competition, you say, what is it like to play the European competition? Will it give you goosebumps? Mahrez asked aloud from the side.
"Then we'll have to ask our Huth." Andy King set his eyes on Hute beside him.
As a young man, Hout was a member of Chelsea and tasted the Premier League title twice during the first phase of the Magic Bird.
At that time he was only a substitute, but he did sit on the bench in the Champions League.
This is also the only person in Leicester's squad who have tasted the top flight title right now.
'It's a completely different feeling, you see teams from different countries.
Hutter took a bite of the crab leg and laughed; 'They were all one of the best teams in their country that year, everyone was top and they were all in super high form.
'I sat there and I couldn't help but think how nice it would have been if Chelsea had won the title at the time, I could have stood on the podium and shouted out the words, we're the best team in Europe now!'
There was a hint of longing in Hut's expression, but he might not be able to win the European championship in his lifetime, and that would be too difficult.
"It's the best in the world, the Champions League champions play the Club World Cup in the semi-finals, and they often basically lock in the final championship." Andy Kim next to him added.
"Well, if we stay on this team next year, we'll have a chance to experience it together."
Vardy said out loud, in fact, he was also sending a signal.
He's not going to leave the team that has been so kind to him, he's made it his home.
He also hopes that his team-mates will not leave and that they will be able to leave their mark together in Europe next year.
You don't have to win the championship to enter the European competition, but to be able to go to that stadium together and feel it is already a great achievement.
"Of course."
Riyad Mahrez was the first to say that he has recently been talking to Leicester City about renewing his contract and is not ready to leave.
Although, Manchester City and Chelsea have shown interest in him and promised a high salary.
But he still wants to stay in this Leicester team, he loves it so much.
Kanter, who was sitting in the corner, looked a little evasive, just lowered his head to eat, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yufeng sighed slightly, and didn't say anything for the time being.
"Is the next round a game against Manchester City?"
Someone looked up and asked.
"Yes."
Chen Yufeng turned his head and replied, "The strange schedule is here again. ”
"On February 6th, we will face Manchester City in the 25th round of the Premier League, and then on February 10th, we will play Manchester City again in the second leg of the Carabao Cup."
"And it's a two-pronged guest." Shinji Okazaki next to him added.
"After these two games, the schedule is relaxed, and there are not many strong teams behind." Chen Yufeng mentioned it again, as if he was hinting at something to his teammates.
The atmosphere fell into a brief immersion, and then Vardy and Fox got two bottles of champagne from nowhere.
After a general glance and finding that no one was wearing dirty clothes, they quickly dismantled the champagne.
"Oooh...... Oo......oo ”
Then, before the others could react, they quickly sprayed the Leicester players all over the barbecue.
Brilliant champagne bubbles suddenly spilled into the sky, forming a parabola and falling towards the heads of everyone on the scene.
The barbecue shop was in a mess, and all the players were holding their heads and scurrying, laughing and scolding.
"Hahaha, you two damn it!"
"Stop! My hair, I have a date tonight! ”
"Don't!"
The honest Kante was pushed in front of him again at this time, as if he wanted to stop their attack.
This scene is very comical, countless tall players hide behind the diminutive Kante, like an eagle catching a chicken.
"Hahaha......"
It didn't take long for the sound of cheerful laughter to resound here.
"Wait, what are you celebrating!" Chen Yufeng seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked.
"Celebrate our European qualification!" Vardy shouted, "Hahaha. ”
'It's okay, it's not a celebration of the Premier League or the League Cup.' Chen Yufeng muttered to himself.
Again, champagne at halftime has always been a taboo in football.
To put it more seriously, it's not always like it, it started with Milan losing the Champions League final......
And in this cheerful atmosphere, all Leicester City has a feeling of selflessness behind it.
They found the champagne storage in the store, opened it and sprayed it like a water fight, with a child's water gun in hand.
"Hahaha......"
The laughter was always there, and even Kante finally bared his white teeth, let go of the last shred of restraint, and opened a bottle of champagne to join the battlefield.
This is the best big family, no locker room conflicts, no infighting, no jealousy and hatred, and no bad intentions.
If they don't separate, this will be a very strong team.
They may not be in good form for a short time, but they will soon adjust in various ways and challenge for victory again.
If Chen Yufeng, who was immersed in this atmosphere at this time, had to find an adjective, he felt that staying here was very pure.
Joining them in the joy was the owner of the barbecue restaurant sitting at the door.
At this time, the owner of the barbecue shop saw the Leicester City players constantly opening champagne, and his eyes burst out with a few gleams, and he counted something, "Fourteen thousand four, fourteen thousand six...... Sixteen thousand eight, one hundred thousand seventeen. ”
