Chapter 113: Defeat Stamford Bridge, the plan to add points! (Ask for a commuter pass)

On January 15, the 21st round of the English Premier League arrived, and Leicester City welcomed Chelsea at the King Power Stadium.

The King Power Stadium was full of people on this day, and people were very much looking forward to whether Leicester City could beat their direct rivals in this title race!

There are also a small number of people who are also looking forward to Chen Yufeng's state, and they want to see if Chen Yufeng will go berserk for a while after missing the World Footballer of the Year and vent his anger on the Premier League teams.

The game was played at 6:30 p.m. that night.

Ranieri was a risky tactic against Chelsea's wing-backs, opting out of a three-five-two formation they had never played before.

Ranieri, who has just won FIFA's Coach of the Year award, seems to be becoming more confident in his coaching ability.

But beware, this kind of self-confidence does not turn into self-congratulation.

Everyone knows that there are a lot of 'hi' in the football coach's group, and Mr. Ranieri is a good guy and no one wants him to be called Hi.

In terms of Leicester City's starting line-up today.

Hut, Morgan, and Fox are paired with a central defender combination, with Chen Yufeng and Riyad Mahrez on both wing-backs, and De Linkwater, N'Golo Kante and Ndidi in the middle.

Under the premise of Chen Yufeng and Mahrez's defensive ability to strengthen, the combination of N'Golo Kante and Ndidi's double back is undoubtedly relatively stable.

They can solve some of the problems behind Chen Yufeng and Mahrez by helping to defend.

In the middle position, with the center forwards are Vardy and Klose, one high and one fast.

As for Chelsea, it's still their old way, it's the three-centre-back system that Antonio Conte brought over from Italy, and it's the same squad they have swept the Premier League this season.

"It's been a while since the start of the game, and Chen Yufeng's attacking threat doesn't seem to be outstanding in this game."

"In the case of defensive tasks, Chen Yufeng's receiving position is too far back, and it is difficult to have any direct threat to the goal."

"Although Ranieri is an Italian coach and is well versed in the three-centre-back system, he has not practiced much in Leicester City, and this group of players does not have any run-in with the three-centre-back system."

"Let's see if we will change in the second half, weaken our strengths, and choose to target Chelsea's strengths to confront it head-on, although there is an element of surprise, but nothing else."

“……”

"Let's take a look at this attack! Chelsea's Marcos Alonso, his recent form has been great! ”

"Pass it to Hazard! He played in the center position today and his main goal was to drop back and catch the ball flexibly! Hazard completed the turn and tucked it straight to Pedro in the ribs! ”

"Sabre comes and volleys!"

"Beautiful! The ball is in! ”

"During the Dream Three period, Pedro had too many bigwigs around him, which caused his presence to not be very strong! But after coming to Chelsea, he made people understand, what is a top striker?! ”

"That's his ability to take chances, 1-0! Leicester City are behind at home! ”

“……”

"The second half of the game officially started, Leicester City did not change the formation on the spot, and now even Ranieri knows that this formation cannot be used, so he can only continue to play."

'I was suggesting that he make adjustments, but when I think about it, changing the squad on the spot could make the rotation between players more confusing, which is not desirable.

"Marcos Alonso! Come and cross! ”

'Hazard's volley! Oh......! A huge low-level mistake, Schmeichel got out of his hands, and the football ghost rolled into the goal! ”

"It's two to zero! Chelsea roared towards the top of the table! ”

'I don't want to put it on the face of every Leicester player, they don't want to lose this game, but they have to accept that the tide is gone.

“……”

"Mahrez's breakthrough! He's fast and nimble under his feet! ”

"And a cross! Rear point position! Chen Yufeng! ”

"Oh ......!! Beautiful, Chen Yufeng!! One to two! Chen Yufeng's header retains Leicester City's competitive hopes! ”

"After the FIFA awards ceremony, Chen Yufeng may have more motivation, let's see if this will be another new start for him."

'With more than 20 minutes to go, Leicester still have a chance and they can hope to get a point.'

“……”

'Eden Hazard's pass, Leicester's wide space and Pedro's easy one-on-one chance with Morgan, which is dangerous.

"Sometimes that's the case, you can't expect a top attacker like Chen Yufeng to take on too many defensive tasks."

"The first half may be fine, but in the second half of the second half, even those who are good at physical fitness can't complete the back-and-forth sprint!"

"Pedro crosses!"

"Will it be Hazard who grabs this point?!"

"Yes! Pretty! Pretty! The ball is in! Shot from Eden Hazard, Chelsea 3-1 Leicester! The suspense of the game seems to have been killed again! ”

“……”

'Then the game is officially over and we congratulate Chelsea for extending their lead in the table.'

'At the same time, we can understand the frustration and frustration of the Leicester players at the moment, they have lost an important game, the fatigue is filling everyone, and they have to do better to fight for the title.

On the pitch, Leicester City players came to the stands, a die-hard fan of the team, to apologize to the fans on the stage.

"Click!" A reporter next to him filmed the scene and posted it in a publication and report that was sent out shortly after.

'Leicester lost their chance to climb to the top of the table with a 3-1 defeat at home to Chelsea, and they will need to be more consistent in the second half if they are to replicate last season's miracle journey!' – The Guardian

…………

On January 22, the Leicester City team travelled to Southampton for a match against Southampton.

Against teams in the lower middle of the table, they have to win.

Only if they win can they hope that Chelsea have dropped points, otherwise it will be an ineffective catch-up.

'The game started with Southampton wearing a traditional red and white shirt today, and as Leicester's away shirt is also white, they are wearing the home shirt for today's game to avoid colliding.

'Southampton, like other teams in the middle and lower tiers, opted for a defensive position after the opening kick-off, and they didn't have the quality of Chelsea and naturally wouldn't rush forward to die.'

'On Leicester's side, Ranieri didn't get obsessed, he adjusted the formation to what the team does best.

'It can be noted that every player in Leicester City has a fierce light on their faces and their desire to win is terrifying.

"Especially Chen Yufeng, as the captain, the desire to win on his face now is no different from the sign of 'Victory' hanging in front of his head."

“……”

"Leicester's attacking chances, Jamie Vardy advancing with the ball, do you have to do it alone?"

"Foul! Leicester have been awarded a free-kick in a very good position, Southampton beware! ”

"As everyone knows, Chen Yufeng's free kick is a must."

"This is definitely the best way to use it as a corkscrew, Leicester City can create more set-piece opportunities in the subsequent games, give Chen Yufeng room to play, they make too few fouls."

"Run-up...... Knock on the door!! ”

"Chen Yufeng did not disappoint! A hearty free-kick goal! Consecutive goals! 1 to 0! ”

"Don't give Leicester that chance! Otherwise, your arrangement may disintegrate into pieces in an instant, and it will be worthless! ”

"Beautiful shot! Chen Yufeng directly hit Southampton goalkeeper Fraser without any reaction at all. ”

“……”

'It's Jamie Gundy again, Leicester are under siege after the goal, will there be a chance this time?'

"The young centre-back Virgil van Dijk, he made a lot of passing errors today, and his performance was not good.

"Kick out! Didn't grab it! ”

'Jamie Vardy made the breakthrough on the edge of the box! The ball was given to Shinji Okazaki next to him, and Shinji Okazaki shot at goal! ”

"Two to zero!"

"Leicester beat Southampton to the ground!"

"It's a hard power crushing between teams! Suppression of the individual level of the players! ”

'Virgil van Dijk, he's still too young, he's a very talented centre-back with a lot of potential, but at the moment he's not top of the game.

“……”

"In that case, the game is officially over, Leicester City won Southampton 2-0, they kept a clean sheet, I wonder if Mr. Ranieri will invite the players to eat pizza?"

"Hahaha...... Well, we'll see you next weekend. ”

In the center of the pitch, Leicester City's players gathered excitedly to listen to the captain Chen Yufeng's speech.

It was a win they've been waiting for for a long time, and the team just needs to build on that winning feeling if they want to be more successful in the future.

"Listen, there are a lot of doubts about us from the outside world, as long as we lose a point, the rumors will immediately spread!"

Chen Yufeng stood in the center of the queue, looking at the people who were hunched side by side, his eyes were firm and angry: "They belittle us as worthless, as if only in this way will they feel a sense of superiority and satisfy their pathological and distorted psychology!" ”

"I don't like the word slap in the face, but I think it's the only way we can handle this kind of incident!"

"We have to slap their faces over and over again with performance and win after victory until they can no longer open their mouths to speak, and they can no longer comment negatively about us!"

"Come on, kids!"

"Come on......!" All the Leicester players clasped their hands together and shouted with determination in their eyes.

Ranieri, who was not far away, looked at this and nodded slightly, Chen Yufeng has become more and more of a leader.

This is a player that every team needs, so it is not so surprising that the offer of more than 100 million yuan.

…………

On 28 January, the final game of the month arrived, with Leicester City travelling to Derby County to take on the mid-table side of the Championship.

Ranieri didn't take the team's fighting prowess too seriously, and certainly didn't take it lightly.

He sent Odegaard, Ben Chilwell, Ndidi, Harry Maguire, Achraf and others to get them in the mood of the game.

As for the other positions, it's still the same old team.

After Chen Yufeng stood on the court today, he seemed to be looking forward to the game.

At the end of this game, he will have the option to add points.

Mr. Ranieri has already been angry with him, and after this game, the Premier League will give him a rest in three days.

It's a customary rotation.

What it brings, of course, is the desire to strengthen Chen Yufeng's desire to add points.

6 times!

At the end of the game, add points 6 times directly!

"Beep!"

"It's the fourth round of the FA Cup, and Leicester City, who are second in the Premier League, are up against Derby County, who are 11th in the Championship!"

'I'm sure a lot of people are going to be more optimistic about Leicester and think it's a no-brainer, but I don't think so.

'Derby County are not without quality, they knocked out Premier League side Bournemouth in their last game.

"It can only be said that in this kind of single-game that decides the outcome of the game, it is difficult to say who loses and who wins."

"The state of personnel in key positions, low-level mistakes and highlight play will affect the direction of a game."

“……”

"Oh ......!"

'It was a corner kick and I didn't pay attention to it and it went in? Who is it? ”

"Odegaard? We saw the director's camera pointed at him! ”

"No offside! The referee pointed to the arc of the center circle and decided that the goal was valid! ”

"The Derby players surrounded the referee and seemed to be looking for an explanation."

"Let's take a look at the replay, this goal should be fine, Leicester City are 1-0 ahead!"

"I might have to take it back, Leicester played Derby County, it did seem too easy."

"As long as Ranieri doesn't work hard, they can win this game safely."

“……”

'It's been a little dull for more than 40 minutes, and now it's the 65th minute of the game, and Leicester are going to make a change.'

"Wait until this dead ball is over."

'They should have brought N'Golo Kante for Ndidi and Dankvo for Odegaard.

"The running distance of these two people today is really not short, and the contribution is also very large, it's time for them to rest and rest and come into play."

"Chen Yufeng suddenly cast a cold arrow!"

"Oh ......!! Pretty! It's a kick in the world wave! It's a kick in the world wave! ”

"Chen Yufeng's wonderful long-range shot rewrote the score to 2-0 for Leicester City! Wonderful in-cut shot! He always has a way to knock on the opponent's goal! ”

"O god descended to earth! I believe that now, Mr. Ranieri can make more bold substitutions and not worry about the new players not adapting to the rhythm of the pitch and conceding the ball in a panic. ”

"Chen Yufeng's goal is undoubtedly a big insurance for Leicester City!"

“……”

"It's over! Two to zero! ”

"Leicester City won the game with Odegaard's goal and Chen Yufeng's world wave! They made it to the fifth round of the FA Cup! Congratulations! ”

"The teams that have entered the fifth round can pat their chests and say that they are the championship team! We also hope that after winning the Community Shield, Leicester City's rest of the season will not be in vain! ”

"It would be a great thing for anyone to win another FA Cup and I'm looking forward to seeing the new miracles! Thank you! ”

"That's the end of the January fixtures, we'll see you in February, when the Champions League knockout rounds begin!"

“……”

On the bus on the return trip, Chen Yufeng couldn't wait to enter the system and prepare to add points.
