Green Journey

Chapter 255 The undefeated golden body is finally broken!

2016年1月2日，2015-16赛季英超第20轮全面开战。

In the new year, all fans in England hope that the team will have a new look and a new state and mental outlook.

Especially the Premier League giants whose status has been affected by various factors this season and continues to be in a downturn.

Fans hope that the team can return to normal levels as soon as possible.

However, in the first Premier League game of the new year, West Ham United and Liverpool teamed up to give all the British people an upset as a New Year gift.

The opening game of this round is that West Ham United, which is seventh in the standings, will face Liverpool in tenth.

The result was that West Ham United beat Liverpool 2-0 to death with two hammers at the London Olympic Stadium, successfully double-killing Liverpool.This is also the first time in 52 years that Liverpool have suffered a double play by West Ham United.

In the afternoon, Leicester City also ushered in a challenge from the Cherries Bournemouth at the King Power Stadium.

From the end of November to the end of December, the newly promoted Bournemouth was in extremely good condition and achieved an excellent record of 11 consecutive unbeaten rounds in the Premier League.

But in the last round they lost 2-0 against Arsenal, and the unbeaten momentum was ended by Arsenal.

Bournemouth currently has 20 points and ranks 15th in the standings. They are only 18 points away from Newcastle United, which is 3th in the relegation zone.

Therefore, the Cherries still need to continue to grab points to get rid of the threat of relegation.

In this game, due to injury, Chu Zheng was not included in Ranieri's squad for the game.

But Chu Zheng was invited by Vichai, the owner of the Leicester City Club, to watch the game with Zhao Dudu in the club chairman's box.

"Chu, many media believe that we will gradually fall behind from the championship team starting from the new year. What do you think?" Vichai asked suddenly while sitting next to Chu Zheng in the box stand, smoking a cigar with his fingers comfortably.

Chu Zheng glanced at the smiling Vichai, and said with a smile, "Sir, I think it would be better for them to focus on reporting on star news."

"Haha!!!" Weichai laughed loudly when he heard Chu Zheng's sarcasm.

Leicester City Sports Director Steve Walsh also gave Chu Zheng a thumbs up.

Looking at Chu Zheng who was chatting and laughing with Vichai, the smile on Steve Walsh's face became more obvious, and his eyes were full of admiration.

On January 1, the winter transfer window has opened.

From yesterday to today, in less than 48 hours, he has received 18 transfer offers.

Among these quotations are Kanter, Vardy, Mahrez, and Chuzheng has the most. A total of 12 clubs have made quotations for Chuzheng.

Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal have all made offers for Chu Zheng.

Among these giant teams, the three clubs that worry Steve Walsh the most are Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Manchester City.

There is nothing to say about the Milan duo in Serie A. It has long since lost its glory in the past, and now there is only one title left.

But Barcelona and Real Madrid are different. Few players can refuse the invitation of these two teams.

Once successfully joined, it means honor and high weekly salary, which is fatal to players.

There is also Manchester City, which came up with an offer of 7000 million pounds. He can feel how arrogant Manchester City is just by looking at the string of zeros on the quotation.

After receiving these offers, Steve Walsh immediately reported Vichai.

As Steve Walsh expected, Vichai let him directly reject the offers from these giant clubs, including the 7000 million pounds handed over by Manchester City.

And Chu Zheng's agent, Mario, also made it clear to him that Chu Zheng had no intention of leaving Dong Chuang at all.

But Steve Wall was not happy about this, but began to worry about it.

Because Steve Walsh knows very well that Vichai is not not selling Chu Zheng, but may be waiting for the end of this season.

Mario's words are also very clear, that is, Chu Zheng has no intention of transferring and leaving now.

But what about next season?
That's not necessarily the case!

Steve Walsh really knew Chu Zheng too well.

He knew very well that the future of a super genius like Chu Zheng would definitely not be in their Leicester City.

The home of geniuses has always been a wealthy club.

Once Leicester City really creates a miracle and wins the Premier League championship this season, not only Chu Zheng's value will explode, but the value of all the players in the team will also skyrocket.

At that time, it would be difficult to say whether Chu Zheng was still not for sale in Vichai.

In the world of football, an owner like Chelsea Abramovich who has a soft spot for football is really rare.

At 15:[-], the game between Leicester City and Bournemouth officially started.

In this game, Ranieri restored the lineup to a 442 formation.

Vardy and Ulloa are paired as forwards, Kanter and Drinkwater are in the midfield, Albrighton and Mahrez are flying on both wings, Morgan and Huth are in the defense, not to mention the goalkeeper , no one can threaten his position.

On the field, after the start of the game, Leicester City launched an active high-position press in the frontcourt.

But for Bournemouth, the mental outlook and momentum of their players today is very different.

Facing the press of Vardy and others, the Bournemouth players were not too flustered.

Although their transmission in the backcourt seems to be straightforward, the players' thinking and cooperation are very clear and tacit. They can often advance the offense to Leicester City's half with three passes and two passes.

As the game time passed, Chu Zheng soon realized that something was wrong.

Because it is Bournemouth in the away game that has the ball possession advantage and the initiative, their frontcourt pressing effect is also very good.

In the 13th minute of the game, Leicester City retreated to the inside and outside of the penalty area, leaving Vardy alone in the arc of the middle circle.

Bournemouth continued to have the ball, but they couldn't penetrate the two lines of defense arranged by Kanter, Morgan and others.

Bournemouth right centre-back Simon Francis stepped in from behind and suddenly made a cross after taking the ball in the rib area about [-] away from the goal.

The ball was high and fast, like a shell hitting Leicester City's penalty area.

The ball landed at the intersection of the left sideline and the bottom line of the small penalty area.

In Chu Zheng's eyes, the pass was outrageous, his mother opened the door for outrageously, it was outrageous, and there was no accuracy at all.

However, in the next second, Bournemouth left wingback Stanislas, who started to advance from the left rib area at the top of the arc, rushed to the landing point abruptly, and used his left foot to pad the ball towards the small penalty area before the ball went out of bounds. middle road.

In the next second, the ball arrived, and Bournemouth striker Joshua King followed up in the middle, crossed the end line of the small penalty area and scored with a header.

Seeing the birth of this goal, Chu Zheng and Zhao Dudu were dumbfounded.

"That's okay?" Zhao Dudu looked in disbelief.

"This shot is perfect!" Chu Zheng smiled helplessly.

Chu Zheng could tell that the ball was an unintentional match.

But it is precisely this accidental cooperation that is even more deadly.

At the same time, this also reflects the spirit of the Bournemouth players who never give up until the last moment.

If Stanislas didn't chase, there would be no goal behind.

For this goal, Schmeichel, who was crazily close to the goal post, Simpson behind Stanislas, and Morgan and Huth who did not keep track of Joshua King, these four were all responsible.

Not to mention the four of Simpson, even Chu Zheng subconsciously thought that the ball would go out of bounds just now, who would have thought that they would be rescued.

"I believe we will tie the score and overtake!" Vichai said with a smile.

"Of course!" Chu Zheng gave Vichai a natural smile.

However, as the game progressed, Vichai and Chu Zheng were dumbfounded, and there were countless Leicester City fans.

The score fell behind, and Leicester City also let go.

The overall strength of the team has been released, and all aspects have gained advantages.

In the 18th minute of the game, Drinkwater broke through with the ball, with three tails from the right rib to the top of the arc, and successfully sent the ball from the right rib of the arc to Ulloa's feet.

As long as Ulloa successfully stops the ball in anti-offside, he is a one-handed goal facing the goalkeeper.

As a result, Ulloa stopped the ball directly out of the baseline with his right foot.

This is just the beginning of bad luck.

At 24 minutes and 34 seconds of the game, Ulloa made a contribution. He stopped the ball with his thigh before the Bournemouth free throw arc, and then made a false shot.

The ball passed through the dense Bournemouth players in the top area of ​​the arc and found Vardy in front of the penalty area in the penalty area.

Vardy, who was facing the goal sideways, faced the incoming ball. He led his right foot to the left, turned around quickly and got rid of Bournemouth left center back Steve Cook, and it was a one-handed goal.

But in the next second, Vardy shot the ball on the post and bounced off the baseline.

In the 58th minute of the second half, Kanter's Drinkwater reasonably completed a successful robbery in the middle of the backcourt.

After getting the ball, Drinkwater sent a very delicate through ball.

Vardy sprints from between two Bournemouth centre-backs to get the ball.

But after entering the penalty area, Simon Francis put a shovel directly behind Vardy and gave Leicester City a red dot package.

Chu Zheng thought it would be no problem to tie the score, but the reality slapped him hard.

Mahrez took the penalty beautifully and simply, but Bournemouth goalkeeper Boruc judged the right direction and flew to the left.

In the next game, Leicester City, who played one more player, had an overall advantage.

The offense is also in full bloom.

But Bournemouth goalkeeper Boruc blocked Leicester City's shots time and time again in the next 10 minutes.

In the end, Leicester City lost 0-1 at home to 10-man Bournemouth.

And Leicester City's unbeaten record of 19 consecutive Premier League rounds has since come to an end.

After the game, the English media was so stimulated by the upset that it was as if they had been slapped with alpaca blood. They directly sent the losing Leicester City to the headlines of the next day, and threatened that this was Leicester City. The beginning of a fall behind in the title race.

There are also countless fans analyzing the reasons for Leicester City's loss in this game.

They pointed the finger at Chu Zheng, saying that Leicester City suffered from Chu Zheng's dependence, and other players would not be able to play without Chu Zheng.

All kinds of strange remarks emerged one after another, and Chu Zheng was amazed.

But in Chu Zheng's view, the reason why he lost this game was pure bad luck!

The audience blasted 22 shots, 9 shots were on target, but 3 times in the post, and 6 times were thrown. Isn't this bad luck?It's bloody bad luck.
