Green Journey

Chapter 161 Surprised Leicester City fans!
After the game restarted, because it was a confrontation training game, every Leicester City player knew that this game was Ranieri's inspection of their state and the degree of integration with the new tactical system.

It is related to everyone's interests, so the blue and yellow players played quite openly on the field, and everyone wanted to show their abilities as much as possible.

But many people on the sidelines could tell at a glance that the strength of the blue team with Chu Zheng and Vardy was significantly higher than that.

With the passage of time, not only did Chu Zheng perform well on the offensive and defensive ends, but Kanter also began to take the lead.

Leicester City fans were also pleasantly surprised by the diminutive French midfielder.

Although Kanter, who partnered with Chu Zheng, did not contribute much on the offensive end, he was almost impeccable on the defensive end.

The success rate of midfield interception, sweeping, stealing and other defensive actions is very high.

As long as it is a player who is entangled by him, he will intercept most of the ball.

Kanter's ability to cover a large area surprised countless Leicester City fans on the sidelines.

Although this is not an official game, the players on the field are all professional, so Kanter's excellent performance is enough to prove his excellence.

In the previous Leicester City, it was difficult for them to see such a wide range of sweeps and precise steals in the midfield.

In the 21st minute of the game, the yellow team's Drinkwater midfielder received a cross from the left central midfielder Inle.

He advances with the ball down the middle.

Chu Zheng moved over quickly.

He stood right in the direction of Drinkwater's push.

Unsurprisingly, Drinkwater, who had already been successfully intercepted by Chu Zheng twice, chose to take the ball to the left rib area.

As a result, Drinkwater just entered the rib area, and Kanter rushed forward.

Seeing that Schlupp on the left went along the left lane and then plugged in to respond, Drinkwater wanted to split the ball.

As a result, as soon as he was about to kick, Kanter rushed to him and poked the ball away.

Kanter's choice of the timing of the steal this time caused the crowd on the sidelines to be in an uproar again.

On the field, after Kanter intercepted the ball, he quickly crossed Chu Zheng who was inserted in the middle.

After Chu Zheng took the ball in the middle circle of his own half, he went forward and rushed straight away.

In front of Chu Zheng, the yellow team's deep midfielder Andy King saw that Vasilewski and Huth had already defended behind him, so he slowed down the speed of the retreat, trying to slow down the blue team's counterattack speed.

However, Chu Zheng told him with practical actions that he was thinking too much.

In the next second, instead of slowing down, Chu Zheng accelerated again, throwing the ball vigorously from the front left.

Andy King saw the ball rolling to the front right side of his body, so he retreated with his back and quickly turned around to chase the ball. He wanted to get Chu Zheng directly behind him.

However, in less than a second, Chu Zheng chased to the left of Andy Jin, and the two engaged in a fierce physical confrontation.

In the eyes of everyone on the sidelines, as soon as the bodies of the two touched, Andy Jin, who was 184cm tall and weighed 79kg, was like a decayed sculpture, and fell directly to the ground when he was hit by Chu Zheng.

Countless Leicester City fans stared at this scene.

They are very clear about Andy King's physical confrontation ability.

He never expected that he would be knocked over immediately after such contact with Chu Zheng.

None of these Leicester City fans expected that Chu Zheng's seemingly modest body contained such a powerful force.

On the sidelines, Ranieri saw Chu Zheng win the confrontation, and the smile on his face became even more intense.

Ranieri was really surprised when he saw Chu Zheng's medical report a few days ago.

In his nearly 30 years of coaching career, he has never seen such a perfect medical report.

Especially the red and white muscle distribution ratio rated as SSS by the medical examination center, Ranieri knows what it means.

That means Chu Zheng's physical talent is terrifying.

On the field, Chu Zheng rushed to the ball before Vasilewski, who was scrambling on the left side.

At the moment of touching the ball, Chu Zheng directly kicked the forward rolling ball to the right with his left foot.

Then he quickly turned to the right and got the ball again at the front of the arc in the middle.

Seeing that Vardy in the big penalty area was cleverly inserting obliquely into the right side of the small penalty area, he restrained Huth.

Seeing the yellow team's goal wide open in the middle, Chu Zheng raised his foot and shot without any hesitation.

On the front right side of the small penalty area, Vardy was about to appreciate Chu Zheng's shooting skills.

However, he only heard a bang, and he saw a white shadow rushing towards the door in his line of sight.

At this moment, Vardy was a little confused. He was a little unclear whether Zheng passed the ball to him or shot a goal.

After 0.5 seconds, without waiting for Vardy to react, the ball directly stuck to his face, and then bounced back to the far post.

In front of the goal line of the small penalty area, the goalkeeper Schwarzer of the yellow team, who was moving to the left, was caught off guard by the sudden change of direction.

Schwarzer, who was beyond his reach, had to turn his head and look helplessly at the ball that flew into the goal from under the right crossbar.

"puff!!!!!"

"puff!!!!!"

"puff!!!!!"

"puff!!!!!"

"..."

On the sidelines, Lin Fan was drinking water. Seeing that Vardy scored a passive header, he directly sprayed out the water that he hadn't swallowed.

At the same time, there are countless people who act like him on the sidelines.

After the sound of spraying water one after another, there were bursts of laughter from the crowd.

After seeing this scene, the kind Ranieri also showed a dumbfounding expression.

And next to him, Steve Walsh and assistant coach Paul Benetti, have been laughing hard.

They were sure that Chu Zheng was not passing the ball.

No player passes with such force.

It's clear that Chu Zheng didn't know where to touch the ball, and kicked the ball badly.

In the restricted area, Vardy's head was buzzing at this time, and his face was burning hot.

"Jamie I'm so sorry!"

"Are you ok?"

Seeing that he missed the passenger car, Chu Zheng was embarrassed, and he swore it was not intentional.

At the moment of shooting, his supporting foot slipped a little, which caused his shooting movement to be deformed.

After a while, Vardy stood up with a yin and yang face. He looked at Chu Zheng, speechless, and directly gave a thumbs up. "Chu, you broke another record in my career!"

"That's the passive way to push the ball in with your head!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!!"

"..."

Hearing Vardy's teasing of Chu Zheng, Huth, Drinkwater, Mahrez and others in the penalty area immediately burst into laughter.

"Guys, would you believe me if I said I did it on purpose?" Chu Zheng shouted loudly with a bright smile on his face.

"bull shit!!!"

"bull shit!!!"

"Hey Chu, I think you're the worst shooter on our team!"

"No! No! No! No!" Hearing Vardy's words, Morgan immediately shook his head, "The worst shot in the team is Casper!"

So everyone collectively looked back at Schmeichel who was standing far in front of the goal on the other side, and everyone burst into laughter after a second.

On the sidelines, seeing Chu Zheng chatting and laughing with his teammates on the field, Lin Fan and other Chinese reporters were completely relieved at this moment.

It now appears that Chu Zheng has basically integrated into Leicester City, and has established a good friendship with most of his teammates.

What they were most afraid of was that Chu Zheng would be rejected.

In European football, although racial discrimination is being fought every year, racial discrimination is still everywhere.

If Chu Zheng can establish a good interpersonal relationship in Leicester City, that's half the battle.

In the second half, Ranieri exchanged and adjusted the blue and yellow teams.

Chu Zheng put on a yellow vest and partnered with Huth as a central defender.

Therefore, the Leicester City fans on the sidelines soon discovered that the yellow team's precarious defense line quickly stabilized in the first half.

Chu Zheng was in the central defender position, which was just right, and the incomparably subtle sense of position shocked the Leicester City fans on the sidelines again.

The Leicester City players on the field were also shown by Chu Zheng's performance as a central defender.

Especially the blue team forward Vardy, he feels the most direct and strong.

Chu Zheng's position as a central defender made him very uncomfortable. There was a feeling that Chu Zheng could always guess how he would move and where he would catch the ball.

Not long after, after Chu Zheng contributed three wonderful steals and one interception, today's 60-minute match between the first half and the second half officially came to an end.

This game made the Leicester City fans who came to the scene extremely satisfied.

After they went back, they quickly went to the Internet to communicate with other Leicester City fans who were not present, and bluntly stated on the Internet that Leicester City now seems to have changed into a team.

In addition, Chu Zheng and Kanter are the names frequently mentioned by this group of fans.

Therefore, the unanimous remarks of these fans made many fans who did not watch this training game very curious, and they wished that the new season would start immediately, so that they could see the changes in their own teams.
