Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

The team was in a state of panic, and the situation was very good.

"Brother, relax, we all see your efforts, and you will prove your strength on the court."

Just when Vardy was wavering, the captain Morgan came over and put his arm around his shoulders, encouraging him.

"You have been the main player of the team this year, and have saved the team from danger many times."

"Even if Li Lei comes back, your status and value will not be replaced."

"In the new season, we will need the contribution of every outstanding player. You and Li Lei will be the dual core of the team. I believe the coach also plans to do so."

"Relax, brother, you will have the opportunity to show your skills on the court."

Morgan's encouragement lifted Vardy's spirits.

At this time, he couldn't help but think that he should not be inferior and discouraged because of Li Lei's return.

Everyone has his own position. As long as you play well, you will definitely help the team win victory and glory!

"Thank you, brother! You are right. I will go all out in the new season!" Vardy said firmly.

Seeing Vardy regain his spirits, Captain Morgan couldn't help but smile.

Now 31 years old, he is already a veteran in the high-intensity Premier League.

He only hopes to achieve a satisfactory result before announcing his retirement, which can be regarded as an explanation for his lifelong love of football.

Morgan believes that with the return of world-class star Li Lei and Vardy's rekindled fighting spirit, the team is very likely to make a breakthrough in the new season.

As the captain, he is determined to be an old horse in the stable, fully support the newcomers, and lead everyone with his own experience.

He will work with the coach to maximize the potential of each player and build this young and energetic team into a truly strong team.

And he also knows that youth will eventually pass away and newcomers will eventually replace the old.

He must seize the moment, go all out, and play the last game of his career without regrets.

For Morgan, this is not only a fight for the team and fans, but also a fight for himself, which is the best interpretation of his inner football dream.

The next day, Li Lei drove a sports car to the Leicester City training base very early, and happened to meet the doorman Reich who came to greet him.

"Good morning, Mr. Reich!" Li Lei greeted friendly.

"Mr. Li, good morning!" Reich said enthusiastically: "You must come on, we are all looking forward to your performance in the new season!"

"Thank you, I will go all out, remember to come and cheer for us in the team's future games!" Li Lei said with a smile.

Reich nodded happily: "I will, I will be your most loyal fan!"

When Li Lei changed into training clothes and came to the stadium, a familiar picture appeared in front of him again.

I saw Vardy had already started warm-up training, concentrating on dealing with the air cushion.

"Brother, you are still so hard!" Li Lei smiled and raised his thumbs up.

"You too, come quickly, you're already late!" Vardy turned around and called Li Lei to join the training.

Li Lei ran over happily, and the two began to warm up side by side.

Many years ago, they also trained on this field like this, sweating profusely. Time flies, and everything is back to the starting point.

At this moment, Li Lei and Vardy only focus on the training in front of them, cooperating tacitly like in the past.

When more and more Leicester City players arrived at the training ground to start training, they saw Li Lei and Vardy warming up first, and everyone had a different expression on their face.

Captain Morgan said with emotion: "I haven't seen such a scene for a long time, young people, you should also fight!"

This sentence obviously stimulated the young players around him. Everyone is of similar age, why can he become a superstar who is supported by all the stars? At this moment, they are all holding back a momentum in their hearts.

Young people are unwilling to be inferior to others, they are eager to prove themselves through their own efforts.

"Captain, did they fight like this when they trained before?" Kante asked curiously. He is only 24 years old this year, not much different in age from Li Lei and others.

"More than that!" Morgan said, "Before, in addition to Li Lei and Vardy, there were several other young guys who trained together, like Harry Kane of Tottenham and Jesse Lingard of Manchester United. They used to train together until the last man."

Speaking of this, Morgan's face showed a nostalgic expression.

The young players around listened with great interest and wanted to know more about the past stories.

"At that time, the team

The young people in the team are very united. They encourage each other and compete with each other. Training is like a war. " Morgan continued, "So the team's strength was able to improve rapidly that year, and then there was the miracle of winning the championship. "

"Now there are many outstanding young people in the team. If you can unite and fight like they did in the past, I believe the team will definitely create glory again!" Morgan encouraged.

Morgan's words made the young people around him look at him inquiringly.

The new charge horn has been sounded, and they will definitely uphold the spirit of their predecessors and fight for the team's tomorrow!

"Hey, captain, I noticed that the head coach seems to have only brought one assistant, and the other assistants are still old faces? What's going on?" Li Lei asked Morgan during training.

After two days of contact, Li Lei found that Leicester City's assistant coaches are still Steve Walsh, Craig Shakespeare and Mike Stowell. Ranieri did not seem to bring a new coaching team, but continued to use the old coaching team left by his predecessor Pearson.

"Well, it's true. "Morgan nodded and said, "As far as I know, the club's transfer budget for Ranieri is not high, so he has not introduced a new coaching team for the time being, and plans to observe the performance of the old coaches first."

"But I believe that if the results are not good, the team will definitely further strengthen the coaching team."

"As players, we only need to concentrate on training and competition, and leave the coaching team to the club."

"We must believe in Ranieri's ability and fully cooperate with his deployment and tactical arrangements. "Morgan continued.

Li Lei nodded after hearing this, and he no longer dwelled on this matter.

On July 22, Leicester City ushered in the first warm-up match before the Premier League season, and the opponent was the League One team Lincoln City.

As an away game, Leicester City did not send Li Lei to start, but instead formed the starting lineup with some new players and substitutes.

Li Lei sat on the bench and watched the whole game.

Although the main force was not sent out, Leicester City still defeated the opponent with a score of 3-1 with the positive attitude and fighting spirit of the players.

From the game, Li Lei saw the vigorous fighting spirit and youthful vitality of his teammates.

This young team has unlimited possibilities, and the locker room is also filled with excitement and joy.
