Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 114: The devil’s schedule continues, once again a significant increase in points will be added (please vote for me)

After the game officially ended, I saw Leicester City's undefeated record flying red and green, and finally there was a blue symbolizing failure.

The British media immediately began to make a fuss about this game again and began to publicize Leicester City's decline.

To add insult to injury and like to grasp at straws, this is the impression that fans around the world have on the British media.

They always enjoy it, no matter who it is targeted at, as long as there is a topic.

Leicester City itself has been at the center of the discussion. Many people have been promoting that they will be weak in the second half.

Now that this has finally emerged, how could they not seize this opportunity.

[The rotation tactics cannot hide the decline. Leicester City, which was in full swing, still loses. Is it going downhill? 】

[Ranieri’s problem is how to alleviate the fatigue and sleepiness of the team’s single lineup in the second half. 】

[Losing to Manchester City [-]-[-] at home, Leicester City ended its unbeaten record and is expected to drop significantly in the future. 】

Many comments were posted, the same as when Leicester City won the half-time championship.

After playing in a transcendent state at the beginning and shattering talk of dismissal and relegation, this team has been at the center of media opinion.

No one wants to see things develop beyond their prediction and control.

After seeing the Leicester City team launch a grassroots counterattack, they quickly received criticism and malice from many people.

This is not just the style of the British media, it is the weakness of human nature.

Especially the fans of the upstream big6 teams, when they saw that grassroots dared to challenge their aristocratic status, their hostility towards this team reached its peak.

In the past, because Leicester City's record was so good, they often dealt critical blows to their home team.

Although angry, they did not create much of a public opinion storm due to the lack of focus and attack points.

As we usually say, there is no way this team can win the championship, they will definitely go downhill, and the players will be sold out immediately.

In fact, most of them are not painful or itchy and not too aggressive.

This time, they finally got a good opportunity.

"I finally lost, my undefeated record is gone, hehehehe!"

"Man City can't beat it. Does anyone really think this team is strong?"

"With two goals scored in the first ten minutes, the defense has been seriously weakened. In the next dozen rounds, they will concede more than 20 goals."

"What about Leicester City fans? Aren't they always very active? Why are they not active now?"

"The most disgusting thing is those neutral fans who wantonly shit in our comment section in the name of supporting grassroots. Are Leicester City your father?"

"What now? Where are the neutral fans, where are the figures?"

"I have said it countless times. Today's football world is a mirage piled up with countless money! It is impossible for a team like this that lacks money, people, venues, and heritage to win the championship now."

"Yes, it doesn't matter whether it's the Premier League or various cup competitions. The wealthy clubs will firmly control the upper class! Even if you get an upset, there will be more wealthy clubs waiting for you!"

"..."

There is no doubt that today is a happy day for most fans in England, especially the big6 fans.

After being suppressed by Leicester City for so long, they finally felt proud.

Especially Manchester City fans, who walk on the road with their chins held high these days, not only looking down on Leicester City, but also looking down on the other big6.

This is understandable, because they finally became the first warrior in the big6 to kill the dragon.

Yes, in fact, it is completely understandable.

In the eyes of Big6, the current Leicester City is like the evil dragon representing evil in fairy tales.

And their wealthy team is the real protagonist, the real decent person.

…………

Under the storm of public opinion, Leicester City's players felt more or less frustrated.

They are all normal people, so how can they not pay attention to the voices from the outside world.

For a time, grievance and anger intertwined and enveloped this team.

The condition of all the players in training was declining, and Ranieri felt a little worried.

No matter where you are or what you do.

The biggest enemy is only yourself.

He does not want these Leicester City players to lose their self-confidence and plummet in condition because of these public opinions.

Leicester City desperately needs a win!
They need a soul-stirring victory or a reversal victory to boost the morale of this team!

But in the next game against Stoke City, due to the impact of the League Cup, they will not play with all their main players.

The possibility of a big victory and reversal is too small.

Ranieri had to turn his attention to the fierce battle against Liverpool in February.

He expected the team to turn everything around.

…………

January 1, Stoke-on-Trent, England.

The Leicester City team is ready to go and come here again for the third round of the Premier League No. 20.

The devil's schedule continues.

Whether it's physical fatigue or the distorted psychology caused by outside public opinion, it is affecting this team.

In this game, Ranieri continued his previous plan and rested Morgan, Drinkwater, Vardy and Mahrez.

This seems like a risky move.

But he had to do it, this was the real world, not a game.

Ranieri must ensure that every player is healthy.

People are prone to injuries when they are tired, whether it is the most basic strain or the most serious ligament rupture.And this way.

In this game against Stoke City, almost all the offensive responsibilities fell on Chen Yufeng's shoulders.

The only person assisting him is Ulloa, who has been in good form recently.

As soon as the game started, Chen Yufeng quickly felt that he was alone.

Without the restraints of Mahrez and Vardy, the opponent has more energy to focus on him, making it difficult for him to handle.

As soon as he caught the ball, he looked up and saw that there were at least three tall Stoke City defenders marking him in the same area.

This made him feel like he couldn't use his strength, and it was very uncomfortable to kick.

While hesitating, this gave Chen Yufeng an even greater desire to become stronger.

He needs to have the ability of a superstar earlier, and be able to use his super performance to drive teammates of average strength to win the game!

This is what he has been pursuing all along.

Now because I feel the lack of ability to change the game at a single point, my desire is even stronger!

Whether it's the daily devilish physical training, the pursuit of extra points, or the desire to complete system tasks and acquire more skills, it all becomes more!

The 30-year-old has had a good start this season and he must work harder and work his way up.

After a wasted first half.

Ranieri also discovered the team's difficulties on the offensive line and quickly turned his goal to defense.

Kante, the most valuable player in Leicester City's current team, has shouldered this important task.

In the second half, when Leicester City put up a tough defense, Kante brought his personal characteristics to the extreme.

After completing the steal in the midfield, he can quickly return to the front of the penalty area to block during the opponent's counterattack.

He can also transport the ball to the frontcourt in rare counterattacks, and then steal the ball from the opponent and chase it all the way back to the baseline.

Driven by Kanter's super high defensive fighting spirit, Danny Simpson and Fox, including other players, all engaged in active encirclement.

This prevented Stoke City, which launched an all-out attack in the second half, from getting a good chance.

"Beep! Beep! Beep—!"

When the game time is up, the referee blows the whistle to end the game.

In the end, the game ended in a goalless draw.

For Leicester City, this is undoubtedly the best result.

On the bus back, Chen Yufeng quickly entered the Devil's Contract and browsed his attribute points.

This game profoundly made him realize that he was not enough and needed to work hard to improve.

Moreover, Leicester City has no schedule for the next two weeks.

Since he has not been recruited by the Belgian national team in a short period of time, Chen Yufeng can use this window period to improve.

Soon, Chen Yufeng opened the attribute panel and saw his physical fitness data.

He has not added points for more than a month, and his current physical points have reached 72 points.

This is the result of his training day after day and the result of fighting to the limit in every game.

After roughly thinking about it, he set his sights on dribbling.

At present, for him, whether it is passing or shooting, he has the blessing of skills.

The speed has also reached a good level due to long-term improvements.

Dribbling, an important ability for a full-back, is definitely the best choice for him to improve.

[Dribbling +2!Dribbling +2!Dribbling +2!Dribbling +2! 】

[Physical fitness -6!Physical fitness...Physical fitness -6! 】

This time, Chen Yufeng directly chose to add four points, directly increasing the dribbling points from 75 to 83!

This is not a reckless move. After falling back to 48 points of physical fitness, he can improve it again through the next ten days of training.

Bringing his dribbling to a very good level will undoubtedly be a big improvement to his basic abilities.

Dribbling at 75 may only be about dribbling the ball well. When necessary, it can create shooting and passing opportunities through shaking, and there is a certain probability of passing the opponent at high speed.

As for dribbling at 83 points, this is a completely different concept.

Maybe not as good as Mahrez, but not far behind.

Chen Yufeng can boldly try to break through in the game, and the success rate of dribbling at the right time is definitely not low.

"Open the system panel."

He murmured, and an illusory panel quickly appeared in front of his eyes.

[Host’s current ability panel:
Name: Chen Yufeng
Height: 183
Age: 30
Player values: Shooting: 66, Passing: 64, Dribbling: 83, Ball sense: 70, Speed: 84, Explosion: 70, Physical fitness: 48, Strength: 66, Coordination: 74, Comprehensive defense: 64.

Overall attributes (not average): 74
Characteristic skills: Beckham's scimitar (legendary), Quares's instep (epic), Van Persie's volley (epic), Dembele's left and right balance (epic). 】

It can be seen that some other comprehensive attributes have improved slightly due to long-term competition training and training improvements.

This actually gave Chen Yufeng a greater sense of improvement, because this was an improvement after he slowly learned through body feedback during the game and watched the playing methods of outstanding players at close range.

"The overall rating is 74, probably because of my poor physical fitness."

Chen Yufeng murmured and exited the system.

Next, improve your physical fitness and enrich yourself.

Then, face Liverpool.

He must vent out his recent unhappiness in that game and get back to his own state and the team's state at the same time.
