The team's defense was also very difficult.
"We saw that in the face of a heavy deficit, Sunderland's head coach made substitutions in the hope of stabilizing the situation and trying to make a comeback."
"But Leicester City did not relax its attack and still went all out. This score was not enough for them and they needed more goals to secure victory."
"And Sunderland was also desperately defending, even at the cost of rough methods."
"Two yellow cards show that their back line is at a loss and can only rely on fouls to stop the opponent's attack."
"Jones, what do you think?"
The host Keane was still explaining the game in a serious manner.
"What the host said is very right. It can be said that Leicester City has basically secured victory throughout the game."
"Their attack is like a tide that constantly washes away Sunderland's defense, and the latter is already unable to cope with it."
"Victory is in sight, and Leicester City players just need to maintain their form." Commentator Jones took over and continued.
At the end of the first half, Leicester City led 3-0.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and Leicester City's attack was still sharp.
Perhaps the big lead made the pressure on the back line insufficient, which made them a little relaxed. Sunderland counterattacked and scored two goals, which made the head coach Ranieri on the sidelines quite dissatisfied.
However, Li Lei scored Leicester City's fourth goal of the game in time, which was also his second goal, completing the feat of scoring twice.
Although there were ups and downs in the second half, Leicester City still completely controlled the situation and finally won the first game of the 2014-2015 season with a score of 4:2.
Two days later, after the first round of the Premier League was over, it can be said that upsets frequently occurred.
Defending champion Chelsea tied with Swansea 2-2, Arsenal lost to West Ham United 0-2, and the two giants all tied or lost.
Other strong teams were in a slightly better situation, Manchester United beat Tottenham 1-0, Manchester City beat West Bromwich 3-0, and Liverpool beat Stoke City 1-0.
Considering the goal difference advantage, the standings show that Leicester City beat Sunderland 4-2 and ranked second, second only to Manchester City.
The upset results in the first round are a good sign for Leicester City.
The two giants Chelsea and Arsenal suffered setbacks at the start of their unbeaten hegemony, while they defeated strong enemies and got off to a perfect start.
In the post-match interview, Leicester City coach Ranieri said: "Our top priority this year is to avoid relegation."
Afterwards, major British media reported on the first round of games.
Daily Mirror: Leicester City beat Sunderland 4-2 at the start, with new player Li Lei scoring twice, which was remarkable, but head coach Ranieri was still cautious, saying that relegation was the primary goal.
Daily Mail: There were many upsets in the first round of the Premier League, Chelsea and Arsenal both suffered Waterloo, Leicester City's dark horse potential was eye-catching, and Li Lei was the biggest variable for the team to win the championship.
The Guardian: Leicester City is currently second in the standings, but the head coach is still steady and steady. This pragmatic style is worthy of praise, and relegation is the key at the moment.
Sky Sports: Leicester City beat Sunderland 4-2, Li Lei scored twice to show strength, the team's performance has ups and downs, but overall it is still eye-catching. If the state is stable, impacting the top four is not a dream.
The Sun: Champion Chelsea tied at the start, while Leicester City's rising star Li Lei shines brightly. Does this indicate the coming of power change?
Chelsea, which won the Premier League title last season, drew 2-2 with Swansea away in the first round of the new season, losing the first good start.
On the other hand, Li Lei, the core player of Chelsea last season, has transferred to Leicester City and scored twice in his debut, helping the team beat Sunderland 4-2.
Do the two teams' very different starts indicate the coming of power change in the Premier League?
Chelsea won the championship last season with Li Lei's stable performance, but at the beginning of the new season, they tied with the weak team Swansea, exposing the team's weakness on the offensive end without the core.
On the other hand, Li Lei's joining Leicester City completely changed the team. His two goals showed strength, and the team also won a big victory over the opponent under his leadership.
Li Lei is undoubtedly the big player Chelsea has lost. He quickly integrated into the new team and played a core role, and Chelsea may face the test of the era without a core.
The opening of the two sides shows the new round of changes in the Premier League. Li Lei is likely to make Leicester City the dark horse of the championship.
His joining era may come and continue his glorious journey.
This is undoubtedly an opportunity for Leicester City and a wake-up call for Chelsea.
Let's wait and see!
Leicester City Club Chairman Vichai couldn't help but smile after seeing the British media's overwhelming coverage of the team's first round of games. This is exactly the response he expected.
Chelsea's feat of winning the double championship last year made him envious, and now everything is getting better for Leicester City, and the Premier League championship is no longer an unattainable dream.
Li Lei's joining has brought a huge positive impact to the team, and the outstanding performance in the first round of games has restored the club's confidence.
The enthusiastic media coverage has undoubtedly pushed the team to the center of public attention, which is exactly what Vichai wants.
The success of a team requires not only hard work on the field, but also winning public attention and voice.
Now Leicester City has become a dark horse and championship candidate that everyone is paying attention to, which makes Vichai feel gratified.
After the downturn last season, the team has finally turned a new page.
On the training ground, players wearing red and blue training suits are practicing against each other.
Vardy ran to Li Lei and said, "Brother, that was a good pass. If you pass it to me a little earlier, the effect will be better."
"Come on, I passed the ball to you at the right time. What if I pass it earlier and you can't catch it?" Li Lei asked with a smile.
"Come on, brother, don't underestimate me. I can run faster!" Vardy said, patting his chest.
The two of them joked with each other, and the atmosphere on the field was lively and warm.
In the next attack, Li Lei followed Vardy's advice and passed the ball as he said, leaving enough lead time.
Although Vardy's shot was a bit reluctant, he still kicked the ball into the net.
Watching Vardy complete the shot, Li Lei couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Brother feels great in front of the penalty area, and always seizes the opportunity to shoot."
Through continuous offensive cooperation, Li Lei also understood Vardy's characteristics better.
His sense of smell and ability to seize opportunities in front of the penalty area are really a top-notch striker.
This will inspire Li Lei's future passing ideas, and the two can become the best duo with tacit cooperation.
