Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 251 The agreement with Odegaard, Taylor and I were just studying tactics that day (please vote for me)

Maguire replaced Huth, who was in average condition today, in the 71st minute of the game and completed his first appearance in the Blue Fox career.

Maguire, who was also playing in the top league for the first time in his career, seemed extremely excited and rushed to the court while insisting on applauding fans.

It is conceivable that he will definitely maintain 120 points of concentration to repay his Premier League debut and leave a good impression on the fans.

The game continued like this. Chilwell and Maguire both seemed very active after coming up. They often made some proactive moves and could keep up with Arsenal players in terms of speed.

They were like newborn calves not afraid of tigers, baring their fangs towards the Arsenal players.

This also made Arsenal's players a little uncomfortable. For a while, the offense was blocked and the advancement was stagnant.

Seeing this scene, Odegaard on the sidelines was even more envious.

At this moment, his desire to play has reached its peak.

No one does not want to play in the top league as soon as possible, complete the game with his teammates who laugh and laugh together on weekdays, contribute to the team, and at the same time play up his worth.

Now, several young people who have entered Leicester City's first team have basically completed their appearances, but he has been sitting on the bench.

Odegaard couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, pursed his lips and lowered his head.

Of course, Ranieri cannot be blamed for this. The head coach must make adjustments according to the situation on the field. Sometimes it is said that substitutions should be made after the warm-up, which is just a preliminary preparation. The specific situation depends on the situation on the field.

"Endidi, get ready to play."

When the game entered the 78th minute, Ranieri called out to Ndidi on the bench, "Hurry up and warm up. I'll give you two minutes. You must move."

"Okay." Ndidi nodded, knowing that the team needed him, and hurried to the side to start warming up.

Not long after, the substitution card on the sidelines was raised again, and Endidi replaced the goal hero Chen Yufeng.

This also means that Leicester City has made its last substitution adjustment to strengthen the team's defensive strength in the midfield.

Odegaard is completely hopeless...

The young man now rested his elbows on his knees and covered his face with his hands, feeling extremely sad.

Ashraf patted Odegaard on the back and offered symbolic comfort.

Chen Yufeng, who came off the field, also noticed this after hugging Ranieri. He walked over and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"

"I'm probably not happy about not showing up."

Ashraf replied, then shook his head and said: "It's not because I'm in a mood, maybe because I saw other young players were on the team, but I didn't, so I blame myself."

"That's it." Chen Yufeng nodded, probably understanding.

He sat next to Odegaard and put a hand on Odegaard's shoulder. "One game can't explain anything. This is only the second round of this season."

"Even if ten rounds have passed, twenty rounds have passed, or even one season has passed, it doesn't really matter if I haven't played."

"These are just a very small fragment of your life, and ninety minutes is an extremely small fragment. It doesn't mean anything, okay?"

Perhaps this was something Chen Yufeng had experienced before. His words made Odegaard raise his head again, but there was still a sense of decadence in his expression.

"Keep working hard. You are very talented and spiritual. As long as your physical fitness and physical confrontation are stronger, and you are more adaptable to the British game rhythm, you will definitely be able to do it."

Chen Yufeng patted Odegaard on the shoulder, and then smiled expectantly: "I look forward to you being able to play and give me assists. I know that day will not be too late."

The best way to comfort people is to tell stories, and Chen Yufeng just has a story to tell.

But he really doesn't want to talk about that again. People have to look forward and can't stay in the past.

He should also encourage Odegaard to look forward, so he focused on the fact that Odegaard provided assists for himself.

Chen Yufeng hopes that this can give Odegaard some expectations and motivation, so that he can grit his teeth and hold on in obscurity, and like himself, have a fairy tale debut moment.

"Come on, I look forward to your assist."

After speaking firmly at the end, Chen Yufeng turned around and walked away, took a towel and began to wipe his face.

Odegaard finally raised his head, as if he had regained some hope.

Yes, as Chen Yufeng said, this may be a small episode, and it is not even a small setback in the entire life.

What he did just now was indeed a bit pretentious.

Thinking of what Chen Yufeng said and Chen Yufeng's career, Odegaard began to slowly change his mentality, and told himself in his heart that he must be strong.

"I'm looking forward to that day!" Odegaard said a few minutes later, biting his lip.

What he was talking about was naturally the day when he assisted Chen Yufeng after he came on the field. That would be the happiest day of his career so far!

…………

More than ten minutes later, the fourth official on the sidelines raised the stoppage time card, adding one minute of stoppage time to the second half.

This is a very coherent game, and naturally there will be no long stoppage time.

This also means that Arsenal only has the last minute of attack time left...

When the time comes, they may have to accept the fact that they failed miserably.

"Bang!!"

A few seconds before the whistle was blown, Arsenal's corner kick was taken, and the players surrounding the center suddenly swarmed up and rushed towards the landing spot.

In the chaos, a leg wearing white shorts stretched out from nowhere and kicked the football.

"Shh!"

The ball then touched the net and completed the goal.

Giroud took the lead to break out of the encirclement and ran out. He was ready to celebrate, but hesitant. At this time, celebrating would seem to have no fighting spirit.

"Don't worry, kid!" Wenger's voice rang from the sidelines. The professor had already seen the time, and the referee would blow the whistle to end the game after the ball restarted.

Since you scored a goal at the last moment, let's celebrate. There is no chance anyway.

If the losing team resists, he, the head coach, resists.

Players who score goals should just celebrate their wonderful performance.     "Papa, pah, pah, pah..."

After Giroud finished sliding and kneeling, the fans at the scene raised their hands and applauded for their goal.

On the one hand, this is to show the hospitality of Leicester City and the pattern of the fans.

On the other hand, it can be regarded as an early celebration of victory.

Two to one!

They completed their revenge against Arsenal!

"Beep! Beep! Beep--!"

Soon, the Leicester City players kicked the ball out of the center circle, and the referee also blew the whistle to officially end the game.

When the dust settled, Leicester City won their second consecutive victory in the new season.

Ranieri walked towards Mr. Wenger with a smile, shook hands and walked towards the press room.

Wenger turned around and looked at the Ring Stadium. He was very disappointed and regretful, and he was still reluctant to leave the playing field.

If this continues, he really won't be too far away from the end of get out of class.

It's not that Wenger can't give up the coaching position here, but he wants to do more for this place.

He really doesn't know if he leaves Arsenal, who can take charge of this team and bring a good future to this club he loves so much.

Before finding a suitable candidate, he could only stay here and wait for that person to appear.

"Mr. Wenger."

A familiar voice sounded in Wenger's ears. He turned around and saw Chen Yufeng walking over, seemingly ready to leave.

"He played very well. Those two goals really touched my heart." Wenger pointed to his heart and forced a smile.

If he really likes Chen Yufeng, he will definitely not show off his bad face.

"Take care of yourself and don't be discouraged. The season is still long."

Chen Yufeng shook hands with Wenger, hugged him, and smiled comfortingly: "No matter what the outside world says about you, be more determined. You will be the best head coach in the history of this club."

After saying this, he turned and walked towards the players' tunnel.

I just hope to comfort Wenger, a coach he has always liked, but if he stays for a long time, there may be another scandal with Arsenal.

With the Leicester City logo still hanging on his shoulders, he must be more careful and responsible for this team.

Behind Chen Yufeng, Wenger was slightly stunned on the spot, not expecting why Chen Yufeng suddenly came up and said this.

This suddenness really gave him some psychological shock and made him think carefully about what Chen Yufeng said several times.

After a long time, Wenger showed a faint smile and said, "Lovely veteran, then I also wish you greater success."

…………

Not long after walking in the player tunnel, Chen Yufeng was stopped in front of an interview board again, and countless microphones were immediately pointed at him.

"Two questions." Chen Yufeng held out two fingers. He didn't like to spend too much time with these reporters.

Hearing this, all the reporters looked at each other, and finally focused on two newspapers, the Guardian and the Sun.

They hope that these two institutions can help them ask questions, because their questions are often more high-quality and more capable of asking something.

"First of all, congratulations on scoring two goals in this game. Did you see what you were saying to the frustrated Odegaard after you went back? Did he have any emotions?" The Guardian reporter was the first to speak.

Countless people put the microphone in front of Chen Yufeng's mouth, waiting for the player to speak.

"Yes, young players are always hungry to play and it was the same when I was young."

Chen Yufeng nodded slightly and replied seriously: "I still hope that everyone will not pay too much attention to him and let him develop and grow for a while."

"One day, we will see him on the court and see his wonderful play and performance."

After saying this, Chen Yufeng turned his attention to the Sun reporter, indicating that the previous answer was over.

“It’s an honor to interview you on behalf of everyone.”

The Sun reporter rolled his eyes and asked with a smile: "We have all noticed that your personal relationship with Taylor seems to be relatively close. Is there any substantial progress in the relationship between the two?"

"On the day Belgium won the European Cup, a media reporter photographed her entering the hotel with you and not returning home all night."

"I heard from the media in the United States that Taylor has not worked for a long time and is reportedly still planning to come to Europe to watch football."

"Can you give us an answer to this?"

The Sun News was still the same as before. After this question came out, others also looked at Chen Yufeng with some curiosity.

It's like they usually don't like to say some things so explicitly, but from what I hear, everyone is willing.

"of course."

Chen Yufeng nodded slightly, scratched his scalp and spread his hands and said, "We celebrated together that day, drank some wine, and returned to the room together."

"She told me that she wanted to study the techniques, tactics and routines of Atletico Madrid at its peak, so I played her the videotape and spent the whole night with her analyzing Simeone's Atletico Madrid."

"Then she left thoughtfully, and I slept until noon."

"You know, analyzing tactics is always more energy-consuming. My brain is almost empty."

Chen Yufeng smiled and said a few nonsense, then turned and walked away.

The reporters standing there were suddenly stunned, staring into silence.
