Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 227 Philip has taken on a new job, the odds of the Premier League in the new season (please vote for me)

The next day, Leicester City's new season training did not start, and the players still had about two days of rest.

But for Chen Yufeng, rest days are the best time to practice more physical fitness.

Today he made an appointment with Philip, whom he had not seen for a long time, and brought four Leicester City players with him.

"Philip, a new customer is here, do you want to accept it?" Chen Yufeng asked with a smile after seeing Philip.

Phillip glanced at the four people behind Chen Yufeng, raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand towards Chen Yufeng, "How did you turn them over?"

"It's just that they think I'm magical and want to train with me." Chen Yufeng said with a smile.

The training of the four people is definitely not free, they also have to pay Phillip.

This is actually a good thing for Philip. They are all in the same club anyway and train together.

Who would say no to earning a little more money?

"You are indeed magical."

Philip shook his head with a painful expression, as if he was in unspeakable pain, and then sighed with some shock, "Welcome back, the European Cup is the best."

"The fact that you can win these three awards is even stranger than your fluctuating physical fitness."

"I even wonder if you sacrificed these physical abilities to God so that He could give you your extraordinary abilities."

"This is simply unbelievable. When I first met you last season, I always thought it would be good for you to be a regular starter in the Premier League."

"Hahaha." Chen Yufeng smiled, and then introduced the four newcomers to Phillip.

Among them, Klose, the already accomplished World Cup winner, is naturally the most eye-catching.

He talked a lot with Philip about his body and all aspects of himself.

Philip also explained a lot to him and negotiated the price with them.

A few people reached an agreement in such a simple way and started the first day of training. After all, the money is nothing to the players.

Not long after the physical training started, Philip clutched his pen angrily and scratched viciously on the sidelines, "The guy who ran more than [-] meters in the European Cup final can't even run [-] meters."

"This kid must have some strange disease! How many drinks must he have had to be so weak?"

"Damn it!"

With Klose and others, Philip's training should be normal because there are four more normal people.

But under this abnormal contrast, it is not surprising that his mentality exploded again.

This strange feeling may accompany Philip again in the future.

If he discovers that Chen Yufeng is recovering from his injury, that may be the real life of doubt. He will find his mentor and even inquire about his mentor's mentor.

…………

The days passed like this, and these days were a little dull.

However, everyone knows that the Premier League's giants are staring at Leicester City, and they really want to teach them a lesson in the new season and win back everything they lose.

At this period in history, Leicester City lost Kante, and Steve Walsh also had some intentions of not wanting to come out again. The team bought a bunch of useless people based on Ranieri's ideas.

This is the main reason for their collapse this season.

Now, Chen Yufeng has taken over the captaincy, and through his butterfly effect in many aspects, many things have changed, and everything may be different.

This will be a brand new season, a completely different path from the Leicester City team in parallel time and space.

On July 7, the new season is about to begin, and Leicester City’s friendly match will also begin.

The first game was against Oxford United.

This is a team currently in the fourth level and not very strong.

Ranieri chose to let most of the new players start on the court. Many of the team's main players rested and only came on to run in the second half of the second half.

In this game, Leicester City played well. The more surprising ones were Odegaard and Achraf.

The two young players showed maturity and stability beyond their peers. Not only did they do their part, but they also worked together to provide assists to the team in the second half.

In the end, with Klose's goal and Vardy's brace, Leicester City defeated Oxford United [-]-[-] and won a victory.

This is a more morale-boosting game, and they have found the feeling of winning last season again.

This is also the first game of the new season, the reason why we invite low-level league teams...

Players must find the feeling of winning and block out some thoughts that are there or not.

After this game, just three days later, Leicester City ushered in another match against a lower-level league team.

They came to the home court of the English North team Newington and started a warm-up contest with this team.

In this game, Leicester City did not play well.

I don't know whether it was the sparse turf environment at Newington's home court or the constant shoveling moves of the opponent's players, which made Ranieri feel a little frightened on the sidelines.

In the [-]th minute of the game, the accident he was most worried about happened.

Chen Yufeng sprained his foot while dribbling the ball, and he jumped off the field with a painful expression.

This made Ranieri's mood instantly hit the bottom.

He knew that Chen Yufeng had just finished playing in the European Cup and was very tired, so in these two games, he played as little as possible and just came up to experience it for half an hour.

In the end, such an incident still happened, causing their new captain to leave the field directly injured.

"How long will it take for him to recover?"

After defeating his opponent [-]-[-], Ranieri came to the team doctor for questioning. "This is a relatively minor sprain, but it will take about three or four weeks to fully recover, otherwise there is a possibility of secondary ligament damage and tear." The team doctor said a regrettable figure.

"Recover well and ask him to exercise less these two days. He won't have to go to the International Champions Cup in a few days." Ranieri pursed his lips and closed his eyes after saying this, looking very regretful.

"It's okay, Mr. Ranieri. Maybe I will recover quickly and be able to join the team soon." Chen Yufeng, who was sitting on the ground at the moment, was not worried at all.

Of course he has the capital. For a minor injury like this, it may only take him three days at most to recover.

Including the International Champions Cup, he doesn't really want to go to such a performance game.

Maybe we can meet up with the team for the last game, get a feel for the lineup and understanding, and get a feel for the game.

At other times, it is best to stay with the team and improve your physical fitness.

He must prepare for the Community Shield final and let a better version of himself appear on the stage!

"I hope so." Ranieri came over, patted Chen Yufeng on the shoulder and then turned around.

Not long after, the team returned to Leicestershire and began final preparations.

Early the next morning, Chen Yufeng came to the door of the club and waved goodbye to his teammates.

They will fly to South America, where they will begin warm-up matches for the International Champions Cup.

"Play well, and I might come to join you in the last game." Chen Yufeng smiled happily, because he really felt that the injury healed quickly.

Maybe tomorrow night, he'll be able to run like flying.

"You should also take a good rest. This is the first injury in your career. If you don't take a good rest, it can easily become the root of the disease." Morgan came over and patted Chen Yufeng on the shoulder before getting in the car.

Klose, who was carrying a backpack, also waved goodbye to Chen Yufeng and boarded the chartered flight to the airport.

Klose even regretted not being able to take Chen Yufeng with him to feel the true strength of the European Cup champion in advance.

"You will definitely not recover well in the last game. You should listen to the team doctor and your physical rehabilitation coach and cooperate with them." Ranieri looked at him with worried eyes, very afraid that Chen Yufeng would not be able to play in the Community Shield final.

That will be a match between the Premier League champion and the FA Cup champion last season. The winner will directly win the Community Shield trophy and win the first championship of the season.

Although this championship is a bit unreliable, it is still a championship after all, and it will be included in the honorary incentives of the team and players.

This is a championship that Leicester City must compete for. If successful, it will be a good morale boost for the new season.

"Okay, bye."

Chen Yufeng happily waved to everyone. After seeing the bus go away, he started walking around like nothing happened.

After one day of recovery, he was basically fine with daily walking, except for some slight pain.

This demon's recovery from his injuries is really impressive.

With it, it can be said that Chen Yufeng has laid his last foundation firmly.

Next, don’t worry about anything and go all out to hit the new season!

He only had to fight against his age and the doubts from the outside world to have a beautiful and exciting second season!
  …………

Time continues to move forward day by day, and as the Premier League approaches, news about the Leicester City team once again spreads throughout the British Peninsula.

As the new Premier League champions last season, not only did they not lose a main player this season, they even successively won the World Cup goal record holder Miroslav Klose, midfielder Ndidi, potential central defender Maguire, and also won the Cards from Real Madrid. Stiya brought in Odegaard and Achraf on loan.

The strength of this Leicester City team is somewhat confusing.

Especially when Chen Yufeng from the team came back, he suddenly became the best player in this European Cup, which added a little more expectations to this club.

The media are speculating one after another, what will be the ending of Leicester City in the new season?
  The first to appear are the betting agencies that were in the limelight last season. The odds they gave for Leicester City in the new season are very concerning.

Many people are thinking at this moment that if there were betting odds of more than 1:1000, they would be willing to give it a try.

Try spending a hundred euros, what if you win?
  But the bookmaker is not a fool. It has raised so many math experts and it is definitely not a job. How could it do such a stupid thing.

After the final winning odds list was announced, everyone felt a little disappointed.

"The odds of Leicester City winning the Premier League title in the new season are 1:150, ranking seventh in the list, second only to the Big 6."

After seeing the news, many people immediately waved their hands and lost interest.

Although many people think that Leicester City's strength in the new season should be good, after all, the team has to play in the Champions League. With multi-front operations, their probability of winning the championship will not be much higher than last season.

The odds of 150 times are still not enough to attract them.

In one season, from 5000 to 150, from last place to seventh in the Premier League, Leicester City's progress is not unsatisfactory.

But if you want to say that some people really think they can defend the title this season, that is impossible.

It is difficult for the top teams in the Premier League to defend the Premier League championship. It cannot be said that there will be a second miracle after one miracle.

Look at Denmark and Greece before. They have both created fairy tale winning stories in the history of the European Cup. But what about the next tournament? Can you still hear the sound?

And later on, is it even difficult to get into the main draw?

This is true for the European Cup's tournament system, but it's even more so for league-based games like the Premier League. In 38 rounds of competition, there won't be too many chances.

The miraculous performance last season will never be repeated again.

"The only championship Leicester City has a chance to compete for in the new season is the Community Shield, because it means they only have to perform well for one game, but I will kill this opportunity and let Manchester United win the Shield trophy."

This was the first sentence Mourinho said when he took office at Manchester United in the new season when he faced the media conference.

His expression actually represents the views of the vast majority of people.

Including Leicester City's own fans, they also feel that winning a Community Shield may be a good thing.

The League Cup and FA Cup are very difficult. You don’t have to think about the Premier League, and you don’t even have to watch the Champions League...
