Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

Li Lei looked at his sincere expression and thought angrily,"He deserves to succeed. He still needs to practice harder even though he is already like this."

"If there is no good result after such efforts, it is really unforgivable."

""Okay, no problem." Li Lei agreed and said

"Great, Li, you may not know how comfortable it is to receive your pass. Every time I receive your pass, I feel that the ball will go in."

After seeing Li Lei agreed to his request, Vardy happily expressed his feelings at the moment.

"Hey guys, if you don't mind counting me in, please!" Captain Morgan said after watching the two men's actions.

"It just so happens that you are still lacking a defensive player, so this will make it seem more realistic, how about it?"

"Of course, no problem."

So the three-person training team appeared on the court.

The head coach in the administrative building stood at the window and watched everything. I don't know what he was thinking.

Pearson looked out the window for a while, then turned to the desk, picked up the phone on it and made a call.

Not long after, the call was connected.

"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you at this time! There is something I need your consent for!"

"Coach Pearson, you are too polite. Since you have been appointed as the head coach of the team, I will not interfere in the affairs of the team."

"Thank you for your trust. The coaching staff has prepared three warm-up matches for the players in the training camp."

"However, two of the opponents are from the top five leagues, and we still need your support to invite them."

"Which two teams?"

"Chelsea in the Premier League and Napoli in Serie A"

"Hmm! Are these two teams too strong? Why do they feel unsuitable as opponents for warm-up matches?"

"Sir, I intend to build a team with capabilities that match those of the top five leagues. These two teams are a good opportunity to see the team's offensive and defensive capabilities."

"Yes, the Group can provide support in this regard.."

"But Coach Pearson, the group has given too much support to the team, and we need you to perform well in terms of results."

"Yes, I understand"

""Beep!"

As the busy tone sounded on the phone, Pearson hung up the phone.

These three games were the opponents carefully selected by him and the coaching staff. The Serie A team can test the team's offensive ability.

The strong teams in the Premier League can see the gap between them and the Premier League.

And the last weak team can boost the team's morale and greet the first show of the new season with a hearty victory.

But there is a key point here. Why should the strong team play a warm-up match with their Championship team.

After thinking about it, this problem can only be communicated by the big boss behind the scenes.

Time flies, and soon Leicester City ushered in the first warm-up match, away to Chelsea.

No Unfortunately, after 90 minutes of fierce competition, Chelsea defeated Leicester City with a score of 3:0.

Although Li Lei was a member of the 18-man roster, he did not have the opportunity to play in the whole game.

Of course, Vardy also had the same experience as him. The two brothers watched the whole game on the bench.

Before the game started, the head coaches of the two teams made lineup adjustments respectively.

The Chelsea head coach adopted a 4-3-3 offensive formation, while the Leicester City head coach Pearson adopted a more conservative 5-4-1 formation, focusing on defensive counterattacks.

Although Leicester City tried to use dense defense in the early stages of the game, To limit Chelsea's attack, but Chelsea still broke the deadlock with excellent cooperation and offensive strategy. In the 20th minute of the game, Chelsea created an opportunity through precise passing and forward Lukaku shot in the penalty area to score.

This goal fully demonstrated Chelsea's team spirit and the individual abilities of the players, especially Lukaku, who had a speed that did not match his body.

After conceding the goal, Leicester City tried to strengthen the attack by changing tactics, but Chelsea's defense was equally solid and they successfully resisted Leicester City's counterattack. In the 45th minute of the game, Chelsea launched another offensive and broke through again through a quick counterattack. The goal was also scored by Lukaku.

This goal further expanded Chelsea's lead and made the situation of the game clearer.

After the start of the second half, Leicester City tried to turn the situation around by making substitutions and adjusting tactics, but Chelsea's defense and offense were equally good, and they once again scored through a quick counterattack.

This goal completely ended the suspense of the game and also allowed Chelsea to secure the victory.

In the end, Chelsea defeated Leicester City with a score of 3:0.

Li Lei looked at the score on the big screen with a little depression, and said disappointedly:"Brother, if you were allowed to play, could you blast open Chelsea's goal?"

"No!" Vardy, who was also unhappy beside him, said affirmatively.

"What about me?"

"Maybe! Who knows?"

"Yeah! Who knows!"

Leicester City's big loss to Chelsea was soon reported by the media, and all kinds of reports were flying around.

《Chelsea beats another strong opponent, Leicester City faces difficulties》

《Leicester City suffered a historic defeat and faces many difficulties in the new season》

《"Chelsea's big win over Leicester City, the Blues once again showed their championship style"

The fans who were already dissatisfied with the club were furious and vowed to make the club respond.

Before the fans' emotions could calm down, three days later Li Lei followed the team to Naples to start the second warm-up match.

After the start of the game, both teams tried to take the initiative on the field.

Leicester City showed their speed and skills in the offense, and the impact of British football was vividly reflected.

Naples tried to resist Leicester City's offense with their strong defense.

In the first half, both sides were slow to open the situation. Naples' defense was airtight, and 45 minutes passed quickly. During the halftime break, the players entered the locker room one by one, and head coach Pearson walked in last.

"Li, Vardy, you two will play in the second half."Pearson said directly when he walked into the locker room.

From the expression on his face, it can be seen that he was dissatisfied with the striker.

The halftime break ended quickly, and Li Lei and Vardy followed the main players to the court.

With the sudden whistle, the second half of the game officially began.

Li Lei stood on the right side and waited patiently for his teammates to pass the ball, and looked at Vardy in the middle from time to time.

A few minutes after the start of the game, Leicester City regained the ball.

As the ball passed under their feet, it was soon passed to Li Lei's feet.

Li Lei, who was in the midfield, quickly dribbled the ball forward, and at the same time, Naples' defense line was also playing back quickly.

But among them was a Leicester City player, Vardy.
