Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

The game was a big success, and the game was a big success.

On August 15, in the second round of the 2014-2015 Premier League, Leicester City was a guest at the London Olympic Stadium to challenge West Ham United.

At this time, the game time had reached the 80th minute, and the home team was 0-2 behind, and the score was extremely unfavorable to West Ham United.

The entire stadium was silent, and the fans of the home team were very depressed at this moment. Some extreme fans even left the stadium early.

There was not much time left for West Ham United. They only had 10 minutes left to catch up with the lagging score.

The Leicester City players on the field played very easily and were still organizing the attack on the field.

On the other hand, the West Ham United players could only passively defend at this time, trying to reduce more goals conceded.

Their head coach waved his arms anxiously on the sidelines, trying to get the players on the field to strengthen their offense, but the whole team had completely lost their fighting spirit and it was difficult to launch an effective counterattack.

In the Sky Sports live broadcast room, Keane explained with a smile on his face: "Leicester City's organization of offense is really tight, and Li Lei played an important role in it."

"Whether it is the cooperation with striker Vardy or the cooperation with the midfielders, it is so perfect."

"He can not only organize the offense, but he is also an excellent scorer. Leicester City's introduction of him this season is really worth it."

Then Jones took over the voice and said: "Yes, maybe Mourinho has begun to regret it at this time."

"Chelsea without Li Lei, and then sent away several veterans, which made Chelsea's The operation in the midfield and frontcourt is very contradictory. "

"And in this game, Li Lei once again gave a perfect answer, with one goal and one assist. "

"Ha! If I'm not mistaken, he has topped the scorer list this season, leading the scorer list with 3 goals. "

Keane nodded and said: "Li Lei's performance is indeed very good, which is not only reflected in goals and assists, but also in his rhythm control and key passes when organizing the team's offense. "

"We can see that he often lags behind, finds a gap to receive the pass from his teammates, and then quickly turns around to organize the offense. "

"This ability to connect the upper and lower levels is crucial for the midfield organizer. He plays the role of the metronome of the entire team."

Jones added: "I agree with you."

"Li Lei's ability in this regard is indeed very good. He always appears in the right place at the right time."

"This also allows us to see the progress of Leicester City's midfield. His teammates have gradually adapted to Li Lei's style of play and know where he likes to run."

"This kind of tacit understanding cannot be cultivated overnight. In comparison, West Ham United's midfield appears to be more static and lacks organization."

"If they don't adjust quickly, West Ham United will probably suffer in more games."

"At the end of the game, West Ham United finally scored a goal, which saved some face, but had no effect on the final result."

"Throughout the game, Leicester City fully demonstrated its strong strength, especially the outstanding performance of Li Lei, the core of the midfield organization, which made West Ham United's defense completely unable to resist."

The final score was locked at 2:1. Leicester City won the match with the advantage of away goals, and also kicked West Ham United into a deeper predicament.

After two rounds, West Ham United ranked 8th in the standings with one win and one loss and 4 points.

This start can be said to be neither good nor bad, but the failure to take all three points from a relegation team like Leicester City at home did disappoint West Ham United fans, and obvious boos could be heard on the field.

West Ham United must adjust its status as soon as possible, otherwise they will face huge difficulties in the subsequent schedule.

In contrast, this away win is undoubtedly a huge encouragement for Leicester City.

After two rounds, they ranked second with 6 points with a winning streak, second only to Manchester City, the leader of the standings.

This has far exceeded the expectations of the outside world for the relegation team Leicester City.

It can be seen that Li Lei's joining has obviously injected new vitality into the team, making them more confident to win more victories.

After two rounds of games, the top two in the standings are Manchester City and Leicester City, followed by Liverpool, Manchester United, Everton, Swansea and other teams.

Some traditional strong teams are currently ranked low, specifically:

Arsenal ranked 11th, Tottenham ranked 13th, and the defending champion Chelsea fell to 16th, forcing

Near the relegation zone.

Such rankings show that some upstarts and second-tier teams are rising, which has brought great pressure to traditional strong teams.

Manchester City and Leicester City are the top two in the standings.

The downturn of Arsenal, Tottenham and other teams also indicates that they may face challenges in the new season.

Especially Chelsea, if the state does not improve, relegation will be their primary goal. Who would have thought that the champion of last season would actually go to relegation? It's really unpredictable.

At this time, a report from The Sun undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of Chelsea's bad start.

The article first mentioned that after two rounds of games, Chelsea gave people the feeling that they were not strong against strong teams and even weaker against weak teams.

After they drew 2-2 with the newly promoted Swansea at home in the first round, they lost 0-3 to Manchester City away in the second round. It can be said that the start was extremely bad.

The report further analyzed that if Chelsea continues this state, then when they meet strong teams such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, they may suffer more defeats.

First, from the current point of view, Chelsea's forward line lacks goal threat, Costa's state has declined, and the new aid Falcao has not been able to integrate quickly.

This will make it difficult for them to score goals when playing against giants such as Manchester United and Liverpool.

Secondly, Chelsea's defense is also facing a test.

They have lost goals in two consecutive games. If this continues, the defense will be beaten by stronger opponents.

The aging of Terry and Azpilicueta has also made the problem more serious.

Finally, the midfield is in disorganization.

Fabregas is plagued by injuries, and Oscar and Nemanja Matic are unstable.

This has led to Chelsea's midfield attack being weak, and there is no bright spot except Hazard.

In summary, if Chelsea's various problems are not resolved, they are likely to fall into a tough battle to relegation.

When strong enemies come, they must improve their combat effectiveness, otherwise they will not escape bad luck. This will be the biggest challenge of Mourinho's coaching career.
