The first time, the second time.

Chapter 24 London’s only football king [Seeking follow-up reading! ]

“Welcome to Leicester’s King Power Stadium!”

“This is Sky Sports. The game that will be presented to you is the fourth round of the FA Cup. Leicester City will play at home against Chelsea, the Premier League giants from London!”

“In this game, compared with the starting lineup that defeated Manchester United 3-1 in the last game, Mourinho made six position changes. Obviously, he rotated the team’s lineup”

“Nemanja Matic, the best player of the Portuguese Super League season who just transferred from Benfica, got the opportunity to start for the first time and will sit in the midfield with Lampard.”

“Including this game, Lampard surpassed Bonetti and became the team’s FA. ”

“The one at the top is Torres”

“Eto’o, the cheetah who scored a hat trick against Manchester United in the last game, and captain Terry are both on the bench”

“Leicester City has also made some rotations compared to the last round of the league.”

“The most noteworthy thing is that Ling Feng, a young player who emerged in the last round of the FA Cup against Stoke City, finally made his first first-team start in his career after a series of outstanding performances as a substitute!”

Along with the words of the on-site commentary, Ling Feng appeared on the big screen of the stadium again.

As a child of Leicester City’s youth training, this kind of treatment is of course a piece of cake.

Facing the camera, Ling Feng just smiled crookedly, which caused the female fans in the stadium to cheer and jump for joy!

“So handsome!”

“His gray eyes are so beautiful!”

Before the game, the two teams shook hands and greeted each other.

Although the mood was both excited and excited.

But Ling Feng still tried hard to hide his fans’ thoughts when they saw their idols, and smiled at the stars who could only be seen on TV.

Lampard, Hazard, Ashley Cole.

And the first impression Ling Feng gave to the Chelsea players was only one:

Damn, this guy is so handsome!

When lining up for photos, Ling Feng stood on the far left of the second row and showed the brightest smile to the camera.

With the sound of the shutter “click”, Ling Feng left the first starting lineup photo.

After the captains of both sides tossed the coin, Leicester City won the right to choose the side, and Chelsea took the lead.

When they came to their own half, Captain Morgan called everyone to form a circle and cheer together:

“Let’s show them some color!”

Seeing his teammates put their hands together, Ling Feng also put his hand on the back of his teammates’ hands, and then shouted with enthusiasm:

“Go forward, Blue Fox!!!”

. . .

With a long whistle from the referee Paul Tierney, the game officially began!

Chelsea kicked off first.

Torres, the “holy child” in a white jersey, passed the ball back and the ball rolled to Oscar’s feet.

Oscar didn’t think much and continued to pass back.

As the core of the team, after three passes and two falls, the ball came to Hazard’s feet on the left.

In this era, Manchester United’s Zaha had not yet transferred to Crystal Palace, and Monchengladbach’s Xhaka had not yet become a Gunner.

There is only one Zaha King in London!

That is Chelsea’s left winger wearing No. 17, Eden Hazard!

Sharp breakthroughs and extraordinary skills have made Hazard a hot topic since his debut in Lille, Ligue 1.

After coming to the Blues as the Premier League transfer king in 2012, he quickly conquered the Blues fans at Stamford Bridge with his dribbling skills.

In the past season and a half, he is one of the top three players in the success rate of passing people in the UK.

Even though he has not reached his peak, Hazard is now Chelsea’s sharp left-wing knife that can tear open the opponent’s defense!

Hazard got the ball and rushed to the left without any hesitation.

The one defending him was his Belgian compatriot, Leicester City’s right-back De Wright.

In the pre-match tactical preparation, Pearson emphasized that Chelsea’s left wing was their main offensive direction.

Therefore, in order to limit Hazard’s performance, he not only asked De Wright to give Hazard more physical confrontation, but also told the midfielder Andy King to help.

However, even in the face of the two people’s defense, Hazard didn’t care. He just swayed left and right, and easily reached the front of Leicester City’s penalty area with a touch of his feet.

Then, he crossed

After dribbling forward and opening up space, he immediately swung his leg and shot!

With a “bang”, the ball made an inward arc in the air and flew to the far corner of the goal.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Schmeichel was very focused and subconsciously flew to the side and touched the ball with his fingertips, causing it to change its trajectory and slide out of the goal!

Seeing this, Hazard couldn’t help but hold his head with both hands, showing an incredible expression.

Starting from the wing, dribbling, then cutting inside, shaking off the defender, and then finally shooting into the far corner, the whole thing was smooth.

He thought the ball was definitely in.

But he didn’t expect that Schmeichel’s flying posture was so stretched that he directly blocked the ball.

After staring at Schmeichel, who looked calm for a while, Hazard turned around and ran back without any nostalgia.

While running back, he silently said in his heart:

“You blocked it this time, I will score next time”

Seeing this wave of attack, the ball was not shot in the end.

The Chelsea fans at the scene also sighed with regret.

The Leicester City fans in the stadium were shocked and broke into a cold sweat.

If Hazard scored at the beginning, the game would be even more difficult to play.

You know, Chelsea under Mourinho has always had the strongest defense!

The commentator also gave heartfelt praise for Hazard’s dribbling:

“Perfect dribbling performance!”

“It’s a pity that the last shot was not fully handled. If the arc was more tricky, even if Schmeichel came, it would be difficult to save the ball.”

Hazard kicked the ball right at the beginning.

But this is just the beginning.

After the ball was transferred, what the Leicester City coaching staff and the players on the field did not expect was that Chelsea, who had always focused on defensive counterattacks, actually adopted high-pressure tactics at the King Power Stadium? !

Starting from striker Torres, to midfielder Matic, the entire formation pressed forward.

Especially Matic, who followed Ling Feng closely like a shadow, not letting him get the ball easily.

In desperation, central midfielder Dean Hammond, who retreated to get the ball, could only pass the ball to the wing.

However, Knockaert on the left took only two more steps and was double-teamed by two Chelsea players, quickly losing the ball.

The ball was transferred quickly.

The next second, a Chelsea player in a white jersey rushed to the backcourt of Leicester City like a white tide, putting great pressure on the back line.

Seeing this scene, Pearson, who was sitting on the fishing platform, suddenly stood up from his seat with a solemn expression.

He never expected that the visiting team Chelsea would attack fiercely right from the start.

Chelsea’s “abnormal” performance surprised Pearson.

He turned his head and looked at Mourinho in the visiting team’s coaching booth.

“Portuguese, what are you planning?”
