Chapter 10 The motivation of a veteran in the twilight of his career, Ye Qinghui's 'Crazy Horse' connection (asking for a monthly pass)
"That's nice."
On the Leicester City bench, the veteran Klose saw this scene, got up and slapped his palms, with some yearning in his eyes.
Returned to England, came to the stage of the main game, and bathed in the attention of the Leicester City fans.
The cohesion and unity that this team has erupted from is something that many teams do not have.
At this time, Klose really has the urge to play, people are always close to something that he thinks is good, and he really wants to stay on the field and hug these teammates.
"Starting tomorrow, increase the intensity of training and move closer to Yufeng." Klose made his decision in his heart and was very determined.
This kind of motivation is exactly what a veteran like him needs in the twilight of his career.
"Are we going to win the Community Shield?!" Odegaard, a young player on the side, quickly stood up and looked at Achraf.
Don't look at them as Real Madrid's academy, they have been playing games on weekdays.
But they can't get on a team, these are still idle, they can't get into this kind of top-flight cup competition at all.
For young players, the significance of winning this kind of trophy is very far-reaching and it will be the motivation for them to keep going.
"Don't worry, the game has just begun."
Ranieri had just finished celebrating with his assistant coaches when he smiled when he heard Odegaard's words.
The young people really want to make the problem simpler, but this kind of beauty is also very good, and it is exactly what this team needs.
As for Leicester City's own academy Ben Chilwell, his chest is even more excited at the moment, and a few gleams burst out in his eyes.
Last season he occasionally trained with the first team, but never came to the field to lift the trophy with the team.
For his own academy players like him, the idea of lifting a trophy with the first team of his club has been a fantasy since he was a child.
Today, it may be a dream come true.
"Come on, big brothers!" Ben Chilwell couldn't help but shout at the pitch and cheer on his seniors on the pitch.
The whole team broke out with a good atmosphere, and a lot of people officially settled in from this moment.
This may be the subtle influence, Leicester City is such a team, it only takes a small moment or two to get everyone on board.
"The ball is in! Chen Yufeng connects with Mahrez! ”
Zhan Jun's excited voice with a smile sounded from the Sina Sports studio, "We've been looking forward to this scene for a long time!" It's finally here again! ”
"It's really nostalgic, Chen Yufeng finally returned to this arena and fought with the teammates of this Blue Fox!"
"Mahrez! Scored the first goal of the season for Leicester City, or a goal in the Community Shield final, which was worth a thousand dollars! ”
"The feeling of last season is back!"
After Zhan Jun's last words fell, many fans watching the game in the live broadcast room also excitedly released a barrage, and everyone seemed to maintain a high enthusiasm.
It seems that their emotions have also been mobilized.
"Chen Ma is connected! Ye Qing Hui!! ”
"No, it's Crazy Horse Connection! Hahaha, the connection between the middle-aged man chasing the wind and the boy chasing the wind! ”
"Hahaha! Leicester City come on! Win the first championship of the new season! ”
"Wuhu! Comfortable! It's out, it's out! ”
"It's been an exciting season and the club doesn't know how much potential is left untapped!"
“……”
The fans chatted excitedly, about the goal, about the club.
Last season's double has given the club a lot of fans, and with a love for Chen Yufeng, Leicester City has gradually become one of the most popular clubs in China.
They're going to go with this team, no matter what happens.
And at Wembley Stadium at this moment, in front of the Manchester United coach's seat.
Jose Mourinho walked back into the dugout with his hands in his pockets, looking like he didn't want to say anything.
The players sitting here all looked a little off, as if they were back in the game they had been dominated by Leicester last season.
"Cheer up! The children! The game has just begun, what an expression! ”
Only Ibrahimovic on the field, waving his fists at the moment, shouted to his teammates, "Heads up!" Lift your damn head! ”
The Swede is still shining, using his mental strength to influence his team-mates in the hope that they can keep their fighting spirit high.
It's not useless, for this group of Manchester United youngsters who have lost their confidence, they need such a big brother.
"Beep!"
Soon, the United players were back in their positions and kicking off again.
"It's normal to fall behind, so many football games every year, can you lead every game?"
While kicking, Ibrahimovic was still encouraging the players, "Don't you play when you fall behind?" Then why are you still on this field, wouldn't it be good to retire directly. ”
"I haven't given up in my thirties, but you in your twenties have abstained first, is this a young man?"
Under his constant spur, the Manchester United players on the field gradually regrouped and began a new round of impact.
Their strength is still good, they can control the ball most of the time, but they are a little stunned by being beaten first.
After adjusting, they know what to do.
Sprint after sprint start and start with desperate tacklings and blocks, and every player is very serious about the game and starting to put pressure on the Leicester players.
After this Manchester United team came to the front, in fact, the attacking routine was relatively simple.
Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard are often used to threaten on the wings, and in some cases, when full-backs are plugged in, the full-backs will also cut diagonally into the ribs to create a threat.
"Bang!"
In the 36th minute of the game, Manchester United's first wave of threatening attacks came.
Luke Shaw, who was passed twice in a row, sprinted to the front with the ball with a shameful mind.
After dodging Chen's sliding tackle, he became more relaxed with the ball and eventually delivered an easy cross from the wing.
"Rear point!"
Ibrahimovic jumped high in the middle, but instead of hitting the goal, he yelled and rubbed the ball back, hoping that a player could outflank the back post.
Jesse Lingard, England's most talented attacking midfielder at the time, was here and stabbed his foot towards the football.
Unfortunately, he was just a foot away from hooking the ball!
"Shet!" Lingard grumbled, got up and quickly ran back to his place.
While Ibrahimovic regretted it, he still gave him a thumbs up and wanted to encourage the young people.
Where did he learn?
Ibrahimovic himself couldn't figure it out, probably because he saw his team-mates encouraging Romelu Lukaku who missed his chances when he played against Belgium......
As the game went on, United's next absolute chance came a little late, and it wasn't until first-half stoppage time that their siege paid off.
In this attack, Lingard first advanced quickly with the ball and distributed the ball to Anthony Martial on the wing.
Anthony Martial stumbled down the flank for a while when he saw the returning Dabonsen Ibrahimovic and knocked the ball out.
"Kick it off!"
Mourinho's encouragement came from the coaching bench, and Ibrahimovic had already planned to do so.
He slid the ball to the right, presumably aiming for the lower goal, and fired a violent volley into the far corner.
"Bang!!"
There was a loud bang, and the football seemed to be about to be kicked out.
In the next second, the ball at Ibrahimovic's feet flew straight to the far corner of the goal, but Kante, who sacrificed his life on the way, blocked the ball with his belly.
This time it was a muffled sound, and Kante was hit by the ball and lay on the ground with a painful expression on his stomach.
On his trip, the gap behind him came out instantly, and Lingard came here like a ghost, stabbed the ball away with one kick, and killed it in the penalty area.
"Sting!" Hut's subsequent sliding tackle was deflected away by Lingard and only landed on Lingard's leg.
"Ah......h
A scream rang out, and Lingard fell to the ground clutching his ankle in pain.
The 40,000 Manchester United fans in red immediately stood up from their seats, spread their hands to express their dissatisfaction, and let out a resounding pressure sound throughout the audience, "Hit ......!" ”
"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded quickly, and his right hand pointed to the penalty spot, signaling that it was a penalty, and then began to draw cards.
The Leicester players stepped forward to symbolically defend themselves twice before wilting.
It was indeed a penalty, no surprises.
"Lingard has made a meritorious service! The British star Jesse Lingard created a penalty opportunity for Manchester United! ”
In the Sina Sports studio, Zhan Jun's excited voice sounded, but he still maintained his professionalism and did not take a stand: "This is a good opportunity for Manchester United to equalize!" ”
"We all know that going into half-time with a 0-1 score and going into half-time with a 1-1 scoreline, these are two very different feelings!"
"Hut, it's still a little slower than Lingard!"
“……”
"I'm sorry, brothers." With a regretful expression, Hutt waved at everyone as an apology.
The crowd comforted him twice and patted him on the shoulder.
How can there be a central defender who doesn't send points?
Just play less own goals, it's really normal to give a penalty.
"!!"
On the goal line, Kaspa Schmeichel seemed to be very excited, jumping and waving his hands all the time.
He wants to be active in front of United's penalty players as a way to put pressure on them.
Under the gaze of everyone, Rooney came to the penalty spot with the football in his arms, adjusted his breathing with his hands on his hips, and prepared for the final free throw.
"Wayne Rooney is standing in front of the penalty spot, it seems that Manchester United still choose to believe in their veterans!"
"There is Lu Xiaopang at home, happy and healthy!"
"Let's see if Wayne Rooney can bring a goal to Manchester United and make the fans feel well!"
On the sidelines, Mourinho stood on the sidelines with a fine face, his hands trembling slightly, as if he was a little nervous.
The penalty goal rate is around 70%, and the probability is still very high.
But now is certainly not the time to be excited, the psychological gap of not being punished is more painful, and he must still tense his nerves.
As for Leicester City's side, Ranieri actually didn't have much hope and had already defaulted to a 1-1 scoreline.
He had his sights set on Klose, who would go straight on just after the break if he was equalised.
"Beep!"
In anticipation of the fans, the referee blew the whistle indicating that he could take a penalty.
