Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

After the fierce battle with Tottenham, the players of Leicester City had almost no rest time.

Just two days later, they had to step onto the field again and start a new round of games.

On January 17, in the 22nd round of the Premier League, Leicester City came to Villa Park to challenge Aston Villa.

This was an away game, which was undoubtedly a huge test for Leicester City.

At this time, the famous devil Christmas season of the Premier League finally began to show its power in Leicester City.

Continuous high-intensity games with almost no rest time are a huge challenge for any team.

And Leicester City, as a rising team, seems to be more susceptible to this schedule.

Although their players have excellent talents and good condition, facing such intensive games, their physical fitness and their spirit have begun to have some problems.

In the game against Aston Villa, the players of Leicester City were a little tired and a little overwhelmed.

Their running is no longer so active; their passing is no longer so accurate.

Although they are still working hard and fighting, their spirit and momentum seem to have weakened.

The game ended with a score of 1-1. For Leicester City, this result is not very satisfactory.

Leicester City fans originally hoped to win three points away from home to consolidate their position in the league.

But under the current circumstances, such a draw is already a good result.

At least, they did not lose the game and did not lose more points.

The whistle at the end of the game also means the end of the Christmas season.

For the players of Leicester City, this is undoubtedly good news.

Because they can finally get some rest time.

The coaching staff also realized the problems the team is facing now.

The players need to rest and adjust in order to continue to maintain a good state in the next game.

Therefore, after the game, they immediately arranged for the players to rest.

Through a reasonable training plan and scientific recovery methods, they hope to help the players recover their physical strength and state as soon as possible.

For the players themselves, this period of rest is also very precious.

They can use this time to relax themselves and adjust their state.

No matter what method they choose, the purpose is the same, that is, to recover as soon as possible, to prepare as soon as possible, and to meet the next challenge.

Li Lei, as the core player of the team, is naturally no exception.

As time goes by, the traditional Chinese Spring Festival is getting closer and closer.

As an Asian tycoon, Leicester City Chairman Vichai knows the importance of this festival.

In China, the Spring Festival is the most important festival of the year.

It is not just a holiday, but also a time for reunion and a time to share joy.

No matter where people are, no matter what profession they are in, on this special day, they will do everything possible to return home and spend this wonderful holiday with their families.

Club Chairman Vichai, as a successful businessman and a visionary leader, he deeply understands this.

He also knows that this festival has special significance for the Chinese players in the team, especially Li Lei.

In the intervals of rest, organize some colorful New Year greetings.

Through these activities, not only can the team's unity be enhanced and the team's morale be improved.

It can also make Chinese players, especially Li Lei, feel the warmth of home and the care of the club's big family.

This idea immediately received unanimous support from the club.

The coaching staff, players, and staff all said that this is a very good idea.

They are all willing to participate in these activities and are willing to do something for Chinese players and Li Lei.

So, under the careful arrangement of the club, a series of New Year's greetings activities began.

The club specially prepared red decorations, red lanterns, and red couplets.

In Chinese culture, red represents joy and auspiciousness.

Through these decorations, the club's training base seemed to be shrouded in the atmosphere of the Chinese Spring Festival.

Under the arrangement of the club, the recording of the New Year's greetings video was also put on the agenda.

As an important step in opening up the Chinese market, this video has special significance for Leicester City.

At the recording site, the lights were bright and the atmosphere was warm.

The club specially built aThe stage was decorated with red lanterns and red couplets, and the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year was everywhere.

The players all wore specially made red jerseys.

These jerseys were specially prepared for this New Year greeting video.

On the chest, there was a striking "Fu" character, which meant good luck, happiness and well-being.

Chairman Vichai took the lead on the stage. With a smile on his face, he extended his New Year's greetings to the camera.

"Dear Chinese fans, on the occasion of the Spring Festival, on behalf of Leicester City Football Club, I would like to extend my most sincere blessings to you."

"I wish you good health, a successful career and a happy family in the new year."

Then the head coach Ranieri also came forward and expressed his blessings in slightly awkward Chinese.

"Happy New Year! I am Ranieri, the head coach of Leicester City."

"Thank you very much for the support from Chinese fans."

"In the new year, we will continue to work hard and present you with more exciting games."

"I wish you a happy Chinese New Year and all the best!"

Then, the players took turns to go on stage to send New Year's greetings to Chinese fans.

Vardy, the top scorer of Leicester City, shouted out his blessings with a vibrant voice.

"Hello everyone! I am Jamie Vardy."

"On this special day, I want to say thank you to all Chinese fans! Your support is our driving force."

"In the new year, I will continue to work hard on the court and bring you more goals and more surprises."

"I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year and a prosperous future!"

Mahrez, the Algerian international with delicate skills, also expressed his heart with sincere words.

"Dear Chinese fans, Happy New Year! Thank you very much for your support and encouragement."

"Your enthusiasm makes me feel the warmth of home."

"In the new year, I will work harder and give you more wonderful performances."

"I wish you all the best in the new year and happiness!"
