Chapter 147
On September 9th, Leicester City was a guest at the Britannia Stadium and played away against Stoke City.

This small team from Stoke-on-Trent, England, does not have a glorious history.

Their most glorious thing is to have won the 1971-1972 English League Cup.

Gone.

Has been in the low-level leagues, and finally succeeded in the 07-08 season.

The investment is not high, but it has been relegated until now, which is not easy.

Especially last season, they actually set a record and got the ninth place in the Premier League.

This has pleased Stoke City fans for a long time.

In the first three games of this season, they have one win and two draws, remain unbeaten, and are in good form.

Facing the reporter's interview, Stoke City fans yelled loudly: "Leicester City is just, we are not afraid!"

This sentence alone made the reporter laugh.

A ninth in the Premier League last season, facing last season's Championship team and the Premier League newcomers, actually said that we are not afraid of them?
This is really efficient!
Stoke City played in a 4-3-3 formation in this game.

Sure enough, they expected more from this game.

For them, a team that has won three consecutive Premier League victories by chance is not worth their time.

You must know that they won many giants last season.

But they forgot that although Leicester City was in the English Championship last season, they also overcame difficulties in the FA Cup and beat the Premier League.

Today, Stoke City's striker has a combination of Crouch, Bojan and Arnautovic.

There is French player Nzonzi in the midfield. He is tall and he is very good at fighting and passing.

There are also Huth and Munessa on the defense line.

Also on the goal line is Begovic, who performed well last season.

From the perspective of paper strength in this game, Stoke City even surpassed Leicester City.

After the start of the game, Stoke City did show a strong combat effectiveness.

Several consecutive attacks are very threatening.

Especially the three strikers, each with their own characteristics.

Crouch, who is 2.01 meters tall, is a well-deserved Airmaster.

La Masia's talented striker Bojan, who was transferred from Barcelona this summer, was once comparable to Messi.

The strong striker Arnautovic is a strong explosive point for Stoke City.

These three players are very threatening on the field.

The game just started, Stoke City scored first.

In the 8th minute of the game, with the opportunity of a throw-in, Moses threw the ball at Nzonzi.

Nzongzi suddenly kicked a cross from the wing!

The ball found Crouch in the center of the penalty area very accurately!

The England high guy easily took off and headed the ball!
The ball hits the net!

1 is better than 0!

Stoke City scored the first goal!

And 10 minutes later, there was another chance for a corner kick, and Crouch hit the ball!
Although he was squeezed by Morgan and didn't exert any force, he slammed after the header!

Anautovic plugs in from the back row and shoots in the air!

The ball goes into the net!

2 is better than 0!

Another goal for Stoke City!
2 is better than 0!

Crazy cheers at the Britannia Stadium!
In the live broadcast room, Carragher smiled and applauded: "It seems that Leicester City's good luck has come to an end."

Alan Shearer: "The game has only been less than 20 minutes, why are you in a hurry."

Carragher: "In just 20 minutes, they conceded two goals. I don't know if the game will continue to expand."

Alan Shearer: "Let's not talk about the score first, let me ask you, why did you ask to explain the Leicester City game?"

Carragher: "Because I want to see when Leicester lose!"

Alan Shearer: "When do you think?"

Carragher: "I think it's almost there now!"

Carragher was talking when something changed on the field.

Not long after Stoke City scored, Leicester City suddenly launched a fast break!

After the re-kick-off, Xia Xing suddenly dribbled the ball forward in the middle!
This change caught Stoke City players off guard!

Shaking away two players in a row, one kick went straight!
The ball goes past two defenders!
Vardy succeeded in anti-offside and shot a dead corner in the penalty area!
The ball crashed into the net!

1 is better than 2!

Leicester City got it back!
The excited Vardy rushed into the net and ran back holding the ball.

The other Leicester City players also ignored the celebration and ran back to halftime quickly.

One goal away from the equaliser.

Soon, Leicester City found another opportunity.

This time it was Mahrez's breakthrough from the right, and the cross was handed to Ulloa, and then continued to sprint!
Ulloa didn't stop the ball and directly picked it into the penalty area!

Wonderful two over one!

But in the penalty area, a tall figure took the lead in getting stuck and cleared with a header!
Leicester City's counterattack was ruined!
On the side of the court, Pearson nodded slightly. Although he lost a good chance, he was full of praise for the defensive player just now.

"That defender was really good."

Shakespeare next to him agreed: "30-year-old German defender, Huth, strong, tall and experienced in the Premier League."

Pearson said "hmm": "After all, he is a talented defender who came out of Chelsea's youth academy. If he hadn't been a substitute for Chelsea for too long, he might have been kicked out a long time ago."

Shakespeare: "So for many rich young people, we are the better choice."

Pearson: "Go back and pay attention to Huth and see if there is a chance to poach him."

Shakespeare: "Good!"

From the beginning to the present, Huth has successfully defended many times, which made Pearson very tempted.

The game continues.

After Leicester City scored a goal, it quickly returned to the rhythm of Stoke City.

For two consecutive attacks, Schmeichel made contributions.

High block and low block, try to keep the goal.

When he saved Crouch's header again, Morgan made a big clearance and kicked the ball to the midfielder Xia Xing.

Three Stoke City players up for grabs!

Xia Xing protects the ball with light steps!
Live among thousands of flowers, not a single leaf sticks to your body!

Take the ball!

The ball was handed over to the forward left back De Laet!
Draet made a long pass to find the back point!

Mahrez catches the ball on the baseline and hits back!

Drinkwater's non-stop shot from the back row!

The ball hits the net!

2 is better than 2!

Leicester City finally equalized the score!
But it's not over yet!

At the end of the first half, Xia Xing took advantage of the corner kick and made a free throw into the penalty area!
The low flat ball is extremely fast!

Cambiasso from the previous point pokes and shoots!
The ball crashed into the net!

3 is better than 2!

Another goal for Leicester City!
The two teams scored 5 goals in the first half!
In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, Stoke City still attacked rapidly.

In the 71st minute of the game, Bo Yang suddenly accelerated with the ball and advanced along the sidewalk.

Passed Mahrez and De Laet in a row, and scored with a low shot from the corner of the penalty area!

3 is better than 3!

The two sides are back on the same starting line again!
However, Leicester City certainly will not give up.

In the 87th minute of the game, Xia Xing passed into the penalty area diagonally again. Vardy missed the first point, and Ulloa scored from the back point!

The ball is in!
4 is better than 3!

In the end, Leicester City had the last laugh in this goal battle!
