On October 15, the eighth round of the Premier League arrived.

For this game, the entire Leicester City squad travelled to Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home stadium, to take on Antonio Conte's Blues.

This is not the first meeting between the two teams this season, as the two teams have met once in the EFL Cup, losing that game.

Of course, that game was Leicester City's initiative.

It stands to reason that the last time they met, the team lost because of the abandonment of the EFL Cup schedule.

Leicester City are going to come back no matter what, and they will have to find the confidence they have in Chelsea.

But the dense schedule is piled up, and sometimes it won't let you go the way you want.

The crucial Champions League game against Copenhagen is just around the corner, with a number of players returning from international games with serious fatigue.

After thinking about it, Ranieri still had no choice but to make the decision to rotate the lineup.

N'Golo Kante was replaced by Ndidi and the two full-backs were also off the pitch, giving Achraf and Ben Chilwell a chance to start.

Similarly, Odegaard, Maguire, Klose and others all played together.

Since you want to give up, then don't have any other thoughts, don't give up and don't give up, and be reluctant to give players who have played less opportunities to exercise.

And just like that, Leicester City fielded a brand new squad for this game.

The goalkeeper is still Schmeichel, the back line, Chilwell, Morgan, Maguire, Achraf.

In the midfield position, Ndidi is paired with Odegaard, flanked by Albrighton and Chen Yufeng.

In the forward position, Ulloa paired with Klose, which can be regarded as piling up two high-post players directly in the middle.

The game kicks off at 4pm and Chelsea are all in the squad to try for the three points.

Leicester City's youth team was inevitably suppressed by Chelsea after the opening game, and played a half-time offensive and defensive battle for more than 20 minutes.

It wasn't until the twenty-fourth minute of the game that they created danger through Chen Yufeng's breakthrough on the wing.

"Chen Yufeng didn't go down today, often, he is actually the one Ranieri wants to protect the most, and he has more time to rest."

In the Sina Sports broadcast platform, Director Zhang Lu made an analysis and comment for the fans, "But the other players have indeed not rested for too long, and this time he needs to take this group of children to the top." ”

"It just so happens that the Belgian team is strong, and Chen Yufeng can decide whether to go or not depending on his state in some preliminaries, the burden on his shoulders is not heavy, and he didn't go to the last game, so he got enough rest time."

"Let's see what kind of game he can play with this group of kids."

"I don't want to win, but I hope I can hit something."

After his comment, Zhan Jun took over the main voice and provided fans with explanations of the game scenes.

The collocation of the two has long been very tacit, and they don't need to communicate or change their voices by looking at their faces, and they won't steal each other's words.

'Chelsea's attack! Batshuayi! Chen Yufeng hasn't been to the Belgian team in the past few days, and he has also been recruited by the Belgian national team! The performance is good! ”

"Pass it to Hazard! Connections from the Belgian team! ”

"If Chen Yufeng can also cooperate with the two, it may play a beautiful offensive football, but in the club game, that scene will not appear."

"Hahaha......" Director Zhang Lu smiled occasionally and responded occasionally, warming the scene for Zhan Jun.

"Kick it off!! Pretty!! ”

After seeing the first goal happen, Zhan Jun's face was a little excited, "Hazard! Scored Chelsea's first goal of the game!! ”

"Pierce the Ball King! Chen Yufeng was a strong contender for the world's third person before he was born! ”

'Chelsea took the lead in the 29th minute, it was a brilliant attack, and in the end Hazard scored the goal in a one-on-one battle over Achraf!'

"I'm looking forward to seeing how this group of young Leicester City will play when they are down behind!"

"Is it just giving up? Or is it a desperate fight? Or is it better to stabilize your mentality, move forward steadily, and look for a chance to get back into the score? ”

Judging from Zhan Jun's tone, the situation he wants to see must be the last one.

And this expectation of his, he did see it in the future.

Under the command of Chen Yufeng, Morgan and others, this group of young people played very maturely, and they didn't feel like they were of this age.

The fitness and physical fitness they have accumulated after training also gave them more confidence to play the first half against Chelsea.

However, there is a more serious problem, after Mahrez is gone, Albrighton's attacking ability is obviously much weaker.

He simply couldn't lead the team to complete a good offensive organization, and he couldn't share the defensive pressure for Chen Yufeng.

Chen Yufeng himself is not fully formed, and he has to be targeted by Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic, so he is a little lost today.

That's normal, he did collect his kicks.

Sometimes you have to be smart and know when you need to be in good shape and when you need to let it out.

Of course, this state of contraction cannot be used as an excuse.

Otherwise, you won't be able to play anything, and the more you play, the worse you get, and you still have a reason, but you don't play well anyway.

Chen Yufeng is certainly not like this, he is just staying to play the key game in Copenhagen.

He has long discussed with Ranieri, and today on the pitch, the main thing is to lead the youngsters, and there are no other requirements for more movement and less running.

"Beep!"

Not long after, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the half.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Chen Yufeng was replaced by Riyad Mahrez.

The two of them can play a half court by themselves, keep it up, and don't have to push too hard.

This is a trick that many managers choose when they rotate.

After Riyad Mahrez returned to his original right flank, there was even a feeling of discomfort for a while at the beginning.

After Chen Yufeng's arrival, he played more to the left and had already changed his playing habits.

This time it changed, and he really needed time to adjust.

As the game went on minute by minute, Leicester City gradually played more and more consistently, but lacked some threat in attack.

"It's actually pretty good."

On the coach's seat on the sidelines, Ranieri's expression was relatively relaxed, chatting with Chen Yufeng and others: "You can see that this group of children is paired with a few veterans, and there is no obvious gap in the face of big6." ”

'I don't even think I deserved to concede that goal, if they had adapted a little quicker, maybe we might have had a chance to take a point.'

His face was full of satisfaction, and there was some affection in the eyes of each of the youngsters, "With the previous EFL Cup game, they scored first, and Chelsea finally made a difficult comeback. ”

"What does that mean?"

"They're geniuses." Chen Yufeng took over the conversation and added.

Ranieri gave Chen Yufeng a thumbs up, and everyone continued to watch the youngsters play intently.

Time also unconsciously continued to push backwards, and gradually came to the end of the game.

"Beep! Beep! Beep ——! ”

A few seconds after the referee's whistle sounded, the Leicester substitutes reacted and stood up to applaud the youngsters' performances.

Odegao walked towards the field with an unconvinced expression, as if he was not satisfied with the result.

"Everyone's doing a good job, don't stink."

Chen Yufeng smiled and slapped towards everyone's bodies, as if beating: "The strength is getting stronger step by step." ”

"I still hope that you can get more positive feedback, remember this feeling of fighting, remember how to defend well, and go over and over again in your head what you did well."

"As for mistakes? Just do it next time, look up and look forward. ”

After a few words of encouragement, he also expressed his expectations, "I hope that next time there is another opportunity like this, you can win." ”

After speaking, as the captain, he took the players to the Leicester City Expedition Fan Stand to thank the fans who came from afar.

In fact, they already knew that it was going to be a rotation battle, but they still came all the way to support the team.

Chen Yufeng led everyone to clap and applaud together, expressing his gratitude to the fans, and they also heard the shouts of many fans.

"It's okay! We can understand that it is impossible to lose football without losing, as long as it is not without content, we can accept it! ”

"Yes, look up! Chilwell, I watched you play in the youth team! ”

"Raise your chests! Young people! Lost this time! Find it back next time! ”

"I hope you can have a good time at Leicester City and experience the feeling of winning!"

"Odegaard, Achraf, Maguire, Chilwell, including Ndidi, you're all good! Come on! ”

Listening to their encouragement, Leicester City's young players had a serious feeling in their expressions.

They gritted their teeth and vowed to bring victory to these fans in the rest of the game.

No longer rely on Chen Yufeng and others, but only rely on themselves!

Chen Yufeng, who was standing next to him, looked at this scene, and his eyes were also a little moved.

The Leicester City fans touched him a lot, and in Chen Yufeng's heart, they are the best fans in the world.

There is no doubt about that.

Thinking of the Champions League game a few days later, Chen Yufeng clenched his fists.

He not only wants to help the team get a better qualifying situation, but also to bring a hearty victory to the fans!

Home to Copenhagen......

He's going to give it his all.

…………

After this game, Leicester City didn't get much attention.

Not to mention the rotation loss, even if it is a normal loss, it is expected.

After all, the overall strength of the team is still quite far behind many teams.

As long as the Champions League is doing well, no one cares how Leicester City plays in the league.

Of course, just don't downgrade.

Time continued to walk day by day, speeding forward.

In the blink of an eye, another game day has arrived.

On this morning, near the King Power Stadium, journalists from all over the world have gathered here to interview the fans watching the game.

It's Leicester City hosting FC Copenhagen, a game they have to win!

The fans of the away team Copenhagen were taken into the stadium by the bus early, and the fans of the home team were buying merchandise and cheering outside the stadium.

"What do you think of this game? Nervous? "I don't know which international reporter walked up with the microphone and blocked a female Leicester fan.

'Nervousness is for sure, and to be honest Leicester makes me nervous in every game.

The female fan nodded slightly, a little shy, "Because this is a weak team that can give people hope, I can raise expectations for him, and once there is expectation, there must be nervousness." ”

The reporter nodded and asked, "Is it clear about the specific situation of this game?" ”

"It is clear that if they can't win, Leicester City will basically lose the possibility of qualifying first in the group." The female fan nodded.

"We all know that Porto and Club Brugge are about to start, what do you expect them to do?" The reporter asked another question.

There were also a lot of Leicester City fans around the two, looking curiously at this side, as if waiting for the female fans to answer.

Even if she was more shy, the female fan still raised her middle finger to the camera after hearing Porto, first expressing her dissatisfaction with Porto, "I hope they lose, lose a big loss, and hurt a few more people." ”

"That's what I expect from them, and I've never had anything good to say about this kind of scoundrel."

"They're a bunch of shit!"

"Yeahhh......" The fans who had been waiting for the female fans for a long time immediately raised their hands and cheered, and then waved their flags and shouted, "Leicester city!! Leicester city！！ ”

Female fans also waved to cheer for the team, showing their best mental outlook in front of the media.

"One last question."

This time, the reporter did not point the microphone at the female fans, but at everyone, "What kind of game do you want Leicester City to play today?" ”

The fans rushed to answer, waving their hands at the camera in excitement.

"Three-goal victory!"

"Big win! Kick them out! ”

"Although I don't have any grudges against Copenhagen, I still hope that I can beat them!"

"Come on Chen Yufeng, let's score two more goals to bring your Champions League goals tally this season to 5!!"

"Chen Yufeng, the goal and assist hacked by the referee are all played back in this game!"

"Chen Yufeng, I love you!"

“……”

Amid a burst of cheers, the fans quickly walked into the stadium and took their seats.

This game, also at 7:50 p.m., officially began the appearance ceremony.

"Kick Barcelona! Kick Barcelona! Kick Bayern Munich ......! ”

"Our factory has collapsed ......!"

The familiar music sounded, and Chen Yufeng took the players of Leicester City to appear at the King Power Stadium again.

This is their third Champions League game, and it's fair to say that the novelty hasn't faded yet.

However, after the last round of games, the players have experienced a lot of the Champions League, and they don't need to be frightened or anything.

The worst has been experienced, what are they afraid of?

Chen Yufeng simply finished picking the side with the players in Copenhagen, and then came to the sidelines to take a photo with the starting lineup.

After the group photo, he led everyone to circle and put his hand in the middle.

Chen Yufeng raised his head, looked around left and right, swallowed his saliva, and said after a long time: "You know what you should do, more than 20,000 Leicester City fans are behind us." ”

"Leicester City...... Come on!! A chorus of shouts rang out, and all the players ran quickly from their place to their positions, making final preparations for the game.

A Champions League battle is about to start.
