Chapter 265 Champions League Draw
Leicester City, who are in excellent form this season, were eliminated by Bury in the League Cup.

This has become news in English football recently.

You must know that they just won Barcelona and became the champions of the European Super Cup.

And the league has won three consecutive victories, and it is still at the top of the list.

But I didn't expect that this time, a British Championship team beat them to the ground.

Numerous media ridicule continued.

"London Sports": "Being defeated by a Championship team, Leicester City finally revealed its true colors. But it's no wonder, after all, they are a team of this level."

"The Times": "The miracle of Leicester City is over, and they are about to end their dream!"

"The Sun": "It is said that there was turmoil in the dressing room of Leicester City. The veteran players brought out by Pearson had a fierce conflict with the new players introduced by Ranieri this season! Please continue to pay attention to the follow-up reports of this newspaper!"

a mess.

Although the "Leicester Evening News" explained that this game was just a substitute, not the real strength of Leicester City.

But no one listened to outsiders, and they all felt that Leicester City was about to fall apart.

This upset many Leicester City fans.

how?
Are you so looking forward to something happening to Leicester City?
At this time, on the training ground of Leicester City, the players also made trouble.

In the team training game, James broke through with the ball and was directly tackled by Kanter.

The tackle was clean and not aggressive.

But James fell to the ground and yelled exaggeratedly: "Help! Hit someone! New players are bullying old players! It hurts like hell!"

With a look of astonishment on Kanter's face, he hurried over to help him up: "Dude, I didn't mean to, are you okay..."

Drinkwater next to him pushed Kanter away: "Don't pay attention to him, he is just playing tricks. Where is your pain? I will treat you."

James: "You fucking stepped on me!"

Drinkwater: "I remember you said you liked the tune?"

"Don't spout blood! I have never been to that kind of place!"

James sprang up from the ground, looking alive and kicking.

The players laughed.

Kanter on the side was a little dazed.

Xia Xing patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "These guys just love to play tricks, don't mind."

Kanter: "Oh, I was shocked, I thought I really shoveled him..."

Ranieri beside the court couldn't help laughing: "Everyone, take a five-minute break and drink some water. The temperature is a bit high today, so don't suffer from heat stroke."

Shakespeare next to him snorted: "Those unscrupulous media, with such a good team atmosphere like ours, they still pour dirty water in all kinds of ways, what rubbish!"

Ranieri looked like he had seen the world: "This group of media has always been like this. I have been coaching in the Premier League for many years, and I have long been used to it."

Losing to Bury, Leicester City encountered a little trouble.

But soon, they proved their strength with victory.

Three days later, in the fourth round of the Premier League, Leicester City played away against Bournemouth.

In this game, Leicester City used a crisp 3-0 to win the game steadily and scored three points.

Vardy, Van Persie and Mahrez each scored a goal to help the team take the opponent lightly.

Especially Vardy and Van Persie, the cooperation between the two is getting better.

One is fast and explosive, and the other is experienced and accurate.

The two pass shots to each other in this game, which is an important part of the team's victory.

Facing the reporter's interview after the game, Vardy excitedly stepped forward and patted Van Persie on the shoulder.

With an exaggerated look, Van Persie pointed to Vardy's "complaint" to the media.

"Did you see? The old Leicester City players bullied the new players! He hit me! Your media is going to make decisions for me!"

There was a lot of laughter at the scene.

The "Sun" reporter blushed.

After this game, the Premier League fell into silence for a while.

Because the national team match day is here.

In a week, many Leicester City players were called up and entered the national team.

This is very different from last year when Leicester City did not have a few national team members.

It is worth mentioning that the FA contacted Xia Xing privately to inquire about his possibility of joining the England national team.

Xia Xing politely declined.

Although he is of British nationality, he grew up in China, and he still regards himself as a Chinese in his bones.

He is still a bit uncomfortable with asking him to wear a foreign jersey and represent another national team.

Anyway, I'm still young, let's talk about the national team later.

On August 8, after the end of the fourth round of the Premier League, Leicester City ended the August campaign.

In the following September, there were not many games for Leicester City, only four games in total.

On September 9, Leicester City will host Aston Villa in the fifth round of the Premier League.

On September 9, Leicester City ushered in the first round of the Champions League group stage.

On September 9th, the sixth round of the Premier League, an away game against Stoke City.

On September 9, the seventh round of the Premier League, the opponent is the powerful Arsenal.

There are only four games, it looks easy, but in fact the pressure is not small.

Especially after the return of the national team match day, the team will definitely face the invasion of the FIFA virus.

It's hard to say what kind of state the players can achieve.

In the three Premier League games, the opponent has a powerful Arsenal, and it is not easy to play.

More importantly, they are about to usher in the first Champions League experience in team history.

Entering the UEFA Champions League for the first time, let Leicester City look forward to it.

The highest level stage in Europe will usher in the debut of a new team of rookies.

Although Ranieri didn't say anything, and the Leicester City club didn't make any rhetoric, everyone in the Blue Fox looked forward to the UEFA Champions League this season, even surpassing the Premier League.

On September 9, during the FIFA national team match day, the UEFA Champions League group stage grouping ceremony completed the draw.

Ranieri brought Shakespeare and Xia Xing, who had no national team mission, and the three appeared at the draw.

The results of this draw were mixed.

Fortunately, he did not enter the death group.

What is worrying is that he met a super powerful opponent.

In Group A of the Champions League group stage, Leicester City's three opponents are-

real Madrid!
Benfica!
Malmö!
When he saw the result of the draw, Ranieri and Shakespeare looked at each other.

Shakespeare grimaced.

He whispered: "What level is Real Madrid? We can't compare with them at all; Benfica is the overlord of the Portuguese Super League, and if they come to play in the Premier League, they will also be a championship-level team; Malmö is the champion of Sweden, with a tough style of play, and it is not easy to deal with. This time our desire to qualify for the group seems difficult to achieve..."

Ranieri didn't say anything, he looked at Xia Xing on the other side.

Unlike Shakespeare's frowning face, Xia Xing's face is full of smiles.

Ranieri asked in a low voice: "What do you think of this Champions League group match?"

Xia Xing smiled all over his face: "I think the result of the lottery is very good!"
