Green Journey

Chapter 202 Playing in the palm of your hand!
A week later, on October 10, the Premier League battle reignited.

In the eighth round of the league, Leicester City will go to Norfolk, eastern England, to challenge Norwich Club at the Carrow Road Stadium.

This is also a founding member of the Premier League, and in the 1992-93 season they got the best record in the history of their club team, the third place in the Premier League.

But since then Norwich has embarked on a relegation journey, and even fell to League One at one point.

For more than 20 years, Norwich has been up and down in the three leagues of the Premier League, the British Championship, and the League One, like an elevator.

There are even many media and fans who believe that Norwich has been working as a lift for a long time in order to get 'parachute' funds.

Last season, Norwich once again successfully promoted to the Premier League through the play-offs.

If there are no accidents, they should be relegated this or next season. This is the rule that Premier League fans have discovered over the years. Norwich has never stayed in the Premier League for 3 full seasons.

But now that the 7 rounds of the league have passed, they have achieved 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, ranking 12th in the Premier League, which is very good.

In the past two rounds, Norwich City first drew 1-1 with the giants Liverpool in an away game, and then they had a tie with West Ham United, which has been extremely strong this season, at the London Olympic Stadium.

In terms of offensive power, Norwich is really not a weak team.

Therefore, Ranieri did not carelessly underestimate the enemy, but packed all the players he could bring to Norwich in case of emergency.

In this game, Ranieri adjusted the starting lineup.

Chu Zheng and Kanter did not move, and the striker line did not change, but the positions of the players on the wing changed.

Fox started at left back and Danny Simpson at right back.

And Schlupp was put on the left midfielder by Ranieri, and Albrighton came to the right midfielder to replace Mahrez.

No one knows what strange experiment Ranieri is doing again!

But as long as Vardy, the current top scorer in the Premier League, and Chu Zheng, the top assists leader in the Premier League are on the field, the fans don't bother to guess the mind of Ranieri, a bad old man who likes to make trouble.

On the field, as soon as the game started, the Norwich players, who took advantage of the home field advantage, started to fight aggressively on the field. The players looked very morale, and they seemed to take advantage of the situation to win Leicester City.

They threatened Leicester City's goal in just 3 minutes of the opening.

At 3 minutes and 32 seconds of the game.

Norwich's frontcourt right rib attack was surrounded, and they quickly returned the ball to adjust the direction of attack.

The passing speed and momentum didn't look like a weak team at all.

After Norwich right midfielder Jonathan Howson took the ball at the front of the arc in the middle of Leicester City's half, he quickly passed to the left forward to Norwich left midfielder Jarvis in the rib area seven or eight meters away.

As a veteran born in 1987, the extremely experienced Simpson quickly pushed up along the ribs, preventing Jarvis from turning around and facing the goal.

At the same time, Chu Zheng and Albrighton in the middle also rushed towards Jarvis at the same time.

However, this guy's feet are really alive.

At the moment of receiving the ball, this guy rubbed the ball directly, then leaned on Simpson behind him, twisted his body to the left, and kicked the ball with his right foot to the front area of ​​the top of the arc in the middle.

This coherent and quick movement of Jarvis directly made Chu Zheng and Albrighton miss the air.

Before the free throw arc, Norwich forward Cameron Jerome turned his back to Huth and Morgan, who were attacking from behind, and put on a motion to stop the ball.

However, at the moment of touching the ball, Cameron Jerome lightly pushed the ball forward to the left, then turned around and forcibly squeezed between Huth and Morgan.

In the next second, another Norwich striker, Hulahan, returned the ball to the top of the arc.

Morgan, who turned around, saw the shot line appear, and he desperately tried to squeeze Cameron Jerome away.

However, Cameron Jerome is no worse than Morgan in terms of height or tonnage.

At this moment, Fox leaned over from the ribs, ready to pinch Morgan.

But Cameron Jerome has been fighting for a long time and has a lot of experience. He knows very well that if he continues to move forward, his chances will be gone.

So he hit the door with his right foot without saying a word!

After the end line of the small penalty area, Schmeichel hit with a high spirit. After judging the shooting line of Cameron Jerome, he quickly flew to the upper corner to the right and directly blocked the ball out of the bottom line.

The Norwich fans at home saw their team get a corner kick, and the cheers became more intense.

Scoring from set-pieces is their housekeeping skill.

However, 1 minute later, seeing Chu Zheng standing out from the crowd after taking off from the front point, countless Norwich fans were dumbfounded, exclaiming where the hell did this elastic monster come from.

After Norwich's offensive, the game was relatively flat, but Norwich's midfield press was still very fierce, very much in the style of a Premier League team.

As time passed, Chu Zheng discovered that Norwich City was not as good as Cheng Yaojin, who at least knew three tricks.

Norwich, on the offensive end, can only use long passes and crosses from the side.

Moreover, after careful observation, Chu Zheng found that the Norwich players had major or minor problems in counterattack defense, wing defense, and coordinated defense in dangerous areas.

So Leicester City's offensive came naturally, fierce and unsolvable.

In the 12th minute of the game, Kanter showed off his power and single-handedly overwhelmed two Norwich players in the right area of ​​the Norwich half-court circle.

After getting the ball, he quickly took the ball away from the center, entered the ribs and knocked the ball across to Albrighton on the wing.

Albrighton didn't take the ball a few meters. Seeing that there was only one defensive player next to Vardy in the Norwich penalty area, he kicked a 45-degree cross without saying a word.

But it was a pity that the strength was not enough, and Norwich left center back Basson, who was standing on the right side of the penalty spot, made a header to clear the siege.

The ball just landed in the front right rib area of ​​the third offensive area.

Chu Zheng quickly picked up speed, unloaded the ball, and faced the three Norwich players in the rib area.

Everyone thought that Chu Zheng would choose to pass the ball in this situation, and then slowly organize the attack. As a result, Chu Zheng's choice was beyond everyone's expectations.

After stopping the ball, Chu Zheng faced Norwich's left midfielder Dorrance's attack, and directly came to a gorgeous Marseille roundabout.

After a successful breakthrough, facing Norwich's right central midfielder Alexander Tetai and left defender Brady, Chu Zheng slammed the ball forward vigorously, ejected and started, and directly blasted from between the two of them like a gust of wind. past.

Countless fans on the scene who saw the starting speed and acceleration ability were astonished!
But after entering the side of the restricted area, Chu Zheng was blocked by Basong and forced out of the restricted area.

When Chu Zheng turned his back to the penalty area and dribbled the ball across the sideline of the penalty area to the bottom line on the side, he was fully surrounded by four Norwich defenders.

In the next second, Chu Zheng passed the ball back to the right before being surrounded.

Albrighton didn't understand Chu Zheng's thoughtless breakthrough at first, and it looked so silly to plunge into the opponent's pocket.

But when he saw that the area in front of the Norwich restricted area was empty and Shinji Okazaki appeared, he instantly admired Chu Zheng's ability to plan.

Knowing that the idiot was himself, he decisively made another 45-degree cross.

On the front right side of the small penalty area, after Shinji Okazaki was in place, he hammered the ball directly into the upper right corner of the goal, helping Leicester City take the lead.

This is also the goal that Leicester City established the victory of this game.

Afterwards, under Chu Zheng's continuous offensive planning and organization, Leicester City began to focus on counterattacks, using counterattacks and active attacks alternately, making the Norwich players extremely passive.

On the offensive, the No. 6 Chinese on the opposite side's through ball that directly penetrates your three lines of defense is simply terrible.

Back to defend, this is their home game, and Leicester City is not a Premier League giant, that would be too embarrassing!
And it may not be able to defend, Leicester City's small combination of side and center combined with the number 6 series makes them hard to defend, Alexander.

On the sidelines, Ranieri saw the commander Chu Zheng playing with Norwich in applause, and his face was smiling like a shriveled chrysanthemum.

In the end, Leicester City easily won Norwich with a score of 2-0.
