Chapter 170 Do you want to make a bet?

In the last three games, two draws and one loss.

Leicester City are indeed in trouble.

Not only the results of the game, but also the situation of the team.

Mahrez received a red card in the Europa League and will not be able to play in the next game.

Vardy was sidelined for about a month due to injury, and Leicester City lost a sharp knife.

And the competition is still intensive recently.

Faced with such a situation, Leicester City can only hope that the substitute players can perform well.

On October 10, Leicester City visited Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.

This is the round of [-] of the League Cup.

It is also a matchup between the top two teams in the Premier League.

So far this season, Leicester City still ranks first in the Premier League.

With seven wins and two draws in the nine rounds of the league, they have accumulated 23 points and are firmly at the top of the list.

Although Leicester City's sudden emergence seems to be thriving, but Chelsea also performed very well.

From the start of the league to the present, they have six wins, two draws and one loss in nine rounds, with 20 points, ranking second.

Mourinho's team ushered in an explosion this season.

The well-known "Mu Ernian", countless people are looking forward to Chelsea this season.

"Do you know what 'Mu Ernian' is?"

On the bus to Stamford Bridge Stadium, James chatted with everyone enthusiastically.

"Mourinho is such an awesome coach,
"The teams he coached before have won quite impressive championship honors.
"And there's a rule,
"Gather strength in the first year,
"The second year ushered in an explosion, winning many championships at once,
"By the third year, all kinds of problems started to arise.

"Unfortunately, we have met the 'Mu Ernian' Chelsea.

"Chelsea have done really well this season.
"Second to us,

"Ox fork!"

Shakespeare in the front row laughed when James scribbled behind him.

"Listen, Nigel, our players have the potential to be managers."

Pearson also smiled: "These guys are really good."

"What do you think of this game?"

"It's not good to play."

"Can we win?"

"After all, our lineup is not neat, so if we want to win, we need a little luck."

"Yeah, especially Xia, his performance will largely determine the final result."

"Winning is naturally a good thing. We can continue to move forward. Even if we lose, it doesn't matter. We can focus more on the league and the Europa League, which is not a bad thing."

"Having said that, I still hope to move forward. After all, the League Cup and the FA Cup are the stages where we are most likely to win the championship..."

Shakespeare was right, indeed.

Pearson didn't put too much pressure on everyone in this game, just let everyone do their best.

But no one is slacking off.

In the last game, Leicester City discharged almost all the main offensive players and let the backup defenders appear.

This game is just the opposite.

For these substitute players, this game not only represents the team's progress in the League Cup, but also reflects their value.

As long as they perform well, they still have a chance to return to the main lineup.

In this game, Pearson played a 4-4-2 formation, which remained unchanged.

Chris Wood and Ulloa are on the front line, and James, Andy King, Albrighton and Xia Xing are behind them.

The four defenders are still De Laet, Konchesky, Wes Morgan and Danny Simpson.

Goalkeeper Schmeichel.

It can be seen from this lineup that Leicester City is firmly on the defensive today.

Today, Chelsea did not discharge the full lineup.

Hazard, Cesc Fabregas, Matic and several other players all got the opportunity to rotate and rest.

The young William, Mikel, Salah and other players made their first appearances and took the lead.

The 4-2-3-1 formation remains unchanged.

On the sidelines, Mourinho is still in full swing.

Seeing Xia Xing, Mourinho greeted him warmly.

"Xia! Welcome to Stamford Bridge!"

"Hi Mourinho, I like it here too because I always have good memories here."

"I regret saying hello to you now..."

"Hehe, just kidding."

"But you're right, you've been to Stamford Bridge twice and won both, which is pretty good."

"The main thing is that the team played well."

"Okay, it's very humble. But this game is half of Leicester City's substitute team. You want to win, but you have no chance."

"Really? I think all the teammates are great, we can win this game."

"Would you like to make a bet?"

"What's the bet? Is the game won or lost?"

"That's right! If you can still win here today, I will lose to you a piece of wine that I treasure."

"Sounds good."

"If I win, next time I go to Leicester City, you want to treat me to a big meal, how about it?"

"no problem!"

The two clapped hands and Xia Xing ran onto the court.

James was always in a good mood. He jokingly asked: "Xia, it seems that you are very likely to join Chelsea."

Xia Xing curled his lips: "Forget it, that guy Drinkwater has a better impression of Chelsea. If you want to join Chelsea, he is more suitable."

Drinkwater: "When I help Leicester City win the Premier League title, I will consider playing for Chelsea!"

De Laet: "Well, once you say this, you can retire in Leicester City."

Drinkwater: "We will definitely win the Premier League one day, I am confident!"

Draet: "Well, look..."

Drinkwater: "What's your attitude!"

Hearing his teammates joke, Xia Xing also showed a smile on his face.

Not far away, Mourinho was still smiling.

During this time, he has been paying attention to Xia Xing, and he likes this young man more and more.

Excellent technique, first-class body, smart mind, and great execution.

More importantly, he is only 19 years old.

This is definitely a super talented seedling!

Although the whole of Europe knows the genius Xia Xing, Mourinho knows the value of this young man better than anyone else.

He communicated with Mendes from time to time, asking about Xia Xing's recent situation.

As Xia Xing's agent, Mendes has a close relationship with Xia Xing.

From Mendes, Mourinho learned some of Xia Xing's personal habits.

He trains hard like a moralist, and his biggest hobby is cooking at home.

Young people who don't smoke, drink, or go clubbing are simply treasures!
Compared with talent and technology, Mourinho prefers Xia Xing's personality traits.

That's why he took the initiative to talk to Xia Xing.

On the court, Drogba, who was warming up, smiled.

Looking back, Mourinho also talked to him in this way.

Put down the figure of the coach and talk like a friend.

"Didier, if one day I have money, I will definitely buy you!"

Drogba still remembers those words.

Young man, let me see how talented you are!
