Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

The most anxious person at this time was none other than Manchester City coach Manuel Pellegrini. In Manchester City's office, Pellegrini frowned and paced back and forth in the locker room anxiously.

Manchester City encountered West Ham United in this round of the Premier League and unexpectedly lost the game 0-1.

This defeat directly caused the team to fall from the top of the standings and was taken away by an unknown Leicester City.

This was a bolt from the blue for Pellegrini and Manchester City.

They could have sat firmly at the top of the standings, but they lost their balance at a critical moment.

For this ambitious coach and the giant team, this was a great shame.

Not only Pellegrini was frowning, but the coaches of strong teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal were also depressed.

They thought they could easily suppress the upstart Leicester City, but they didn't expect that the opponent could rise at this stage, catching everyone off guard.

This sudden change undoubtedly gave the top giants a loud slap in the face.

They can only temporarily put away their arrogance, seriously reflect and adjust, and strive to get back on track as soon as possible and regain the top spot that belongs to them.

Day after day of training makes the players feel boring and dull. At this time, if a teammate breaks this monotonous life and invites everyone to a birthday party, it will undoubtedly be a great joy for the players.

Just today, Vardy announced to his teammates that he will have a birthday tomorrow and enthusiastically invited everyone to his birthday party.

"Li Lei, my good brother, you must come!" He asked Li Lei who was changing clothes in the locker room.

"Haha, is there any need to say this? I will definitely go!" Li Lei said happily, "This is really great. It can add a little fun to our boring life. How can we miss it?"

"Great, it's settled! See you tomorrow!" Vardy was also excited after getting a definite answer.

For the players, attending a teammate's birthday party is undoubtedly a rare entertainment activity after training.

This is of great significance for making up for the boring daily life and adding fun to team life.

When everyone asked for leave from head coach Ranieri, Ranieri, looking at the players' cheerful appearance, still agreed to let them attend Vardy's birthday party.

But he still reminded them seriously: "I warn you, it's best not to play too much."

"I don't want to see any of your names in tomorrow's Sun, especially someone, understand?"

After speaking, Ranieri looked at Li Lei deliberately. Li Lei met the head coach's gaze and smiled awkwardly.

He knew that the "someone" the head coach was referring to himself, because he did have a record of playing too crazy at several parties during the last World Cup, and it was on the headlines of tabloids for this.

"Don't worry, boss, I promise that I will pay attention to the degree this time and will never cause any trouble." Li Lei hurriedly said, and raised his hand to make a "guarantee nothing" gesture.

Seeing Li Lei's face in front of the head coach, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Ranieri narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "I warn you, Li Lei, I will keep an eye on you. Don't let me down."

After the episode with the head coach, the players prepared to start today's training.

"Dude, remember to send me the address for the evening." Li Lei said to Vardy on the way to the training ground.

"Don't worry, I will definitely send it to you. Don't be late then." Vardy replied with a smile.

The two excitedly discussed the birthday party tomorrow night while walking, which is undoubtedly a rare entertainment time for the players after training.

After arriving at the training ground, everyone quickly got into the state and started today's boring but necessary training.

The next day, after the players finished their morning training, Li Lei drove his sports car home to change his clothes, and then followed the address sent by Vardy on his mobile phone to the luxury house he rented in Leicester.

At this time, it was completely dark, and expensive sports cars drove in from all directions, all gathering towards this address.

Several players' luxury cars were parked in the garage, and the party decorations and equipment were ready on the lawn outside.

"Hey, happy birthday, brother!" Li Lei congratulated loudly and gave Vardy a big hug.

"Haha, okay, we are the protagonists tonight!" Vardy said happily, "Come in and have a drink, the DJ and dance floor are ready!"

The two chatted as they walked into the house. The luxurious mansion was already bustling with people, men and women all dressed up and ready to have a party.

The music was loud in the dance floor, and the players and various beauties were chatting and mixing drinks at the bar.

Li Lei looked around and showed a satisfied look.Smile, he believes that tonight will be a great night.

After the party went on for a while, the atmosphere on the scene gradually became high.

At this time, Li Lei and Vardy stood at a high place overlooking the whole venue, drinking champagne and reminiscing about the past.

"Remember the first time we met, buddy?" Li Lei took a sip of wine and said with emotion, "We came to Leicester City on the same bus at that time, do you remember?"

"Remember, remember, you slept like a dead pig in the car at that time." Vardy laughed and fell into memories, "I also told you that I would become a big star."

"Yes, now we are really stars." Li Lei said jokingly, "I am the big star, okay, you are my little follower!"

"Cut, don't insult me." Vardy pretended to be angry, and then the two laughed again.

"But I never thought that we would go from being teammates at the beginning to standing on the stage of the top league together now." Li Lei said with emotion, "It's not easy to come this far."

"Yes, good brother, we have worked hard together to get to this point today, this is our honor!" Vardy raised his glass and clinked glasses with Li Lei to celebrate.

"Brother, I will definitely help you become a big star and become the top scorer in the Premier League!" Li Lei said excitedly.

"You are the top striker in the Premier League now, and I have to rely on you to take me to the top!" Vardy responded with a smile.

"Haha, if we work together, Li Lei, Vardy, and Mahrez will definitely become the strongest striker combination in the history of the Premier League!" Li Lei raised his arms and shouted.

"That's right! We will become teammates and good partners, and let opponents be terrified!" Vardy also shouted.

At this moment, the music in the dance floor became more agitated and high. The two looked at each other, put down their glasses, and rushed into the dance floor impatiently to have fun.
