Chapter 170 Do you want to make a bet?

In the last three games, there have been two draws and one loss.

Leicester City are indeed in trouble.

Not only the result of the game, but also the team's situation frequently happened.

Mahrez received a red card in the Europa League and was unable to play in the next game.

Vardy was out for about a month due to injury, and Leicester City was missing a sharp knife.

And the competition has been intensive recently.

Faced with such a situation, Leicester City can only hope that the substitute players can perform well.

On October 29, Leicester City visited Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.

This is the League Cup quarter-finals game.

It is also a showdown between the top two teams in the Premier League.

So far this season, Leicester City is still ranked first in the Premier League.

With seven wins and two draws in nine league rounds, they have accumulated 23 points and are firmly at the top of the list.

Although Leicester City suddenly emerged and appeared to be outstanding, Chelsea also performed very well.

From the beginning of the league to now, they have six wins, two draws and one loss in nine rounds, with 20 points, ranking second.

Mourinho's team has exploded this season.

Known as the "Second Year of Mourinho", countless people are looking forward to Chelsea this season.

"Do you know what 'Mu Ernian' is?"

On the bus heading to Stamford Bridge Stadium, James chatted with everyone enthusiastically.

"Mourinho is such an outstanding coach.

“The teams he coached before all won very impressive championship honors.

"And there is a pattern,

"Gather strength in the first year,

“The second year we had an explosion, and we won many championships all at once.

“By the third year, all kinds of problems started to arise.

"Unfortunately, we met Chelsea in the second year of Mourinho.

"Chelsea are doing really well this season.

"Second only to us,

"Awesome!"

Listening to James scratching his head behind him, Shakespeare in the front row laughed.

"Nigel, listen, our players all have the potential to be coaches."

Pierson also smiled: "These guys are really good."

"What do you think of this game?"

"It's not easy to kick."

"Can we win?"

"After all, our lineup is not complete, so if we want to win, we need a little luck."

"Yes, especially Xia, his performance will largely determine the final result."

"Winning is naturally a good thing, we can continue to move forward. Even if we lose, it doesn't matter. We can focus more on the league and the Europa League, so it's not a bad thing."

"Having said that, I still hope to keep moving forward. After all, the League Cup and FA Cup are the stages where we are most likely to win..."

Shakespeare was right, indeed.

Pearson didn't put too much pressure on everyone in this game, just let everyone do their best.

But no one is slacking off.

In the last game, Leicester City discharged almost all the main offensive players and let the substitute defenders come on.

This game is the exact opposite.

For these substitute players, this game not only represents the team's progress in the League Cup, but also reflects their value.

As long as they perform well, they still have a chance to return to the main lineup.

In this game, Pearson deployed a 4-4-2 formation, which remained unchanged.

Chris Wood and Ulloa are on the front line, followed by James, Andy King, Albrighton and Xia Xing.

The four defenders are still De Laet, Konchesky, Wes Morgan, and Danny Simpson.

Goalkeeper Schmeichel.

It can be seen from this lineup that Leicester City is firmly in charge today.

And today Chelsea did not have a full lineup.

Hazard, Fabregas, Matic and other players all got the opportunity to rest in rotation.

Young Willian, Mikel, Salah and other players started the game and carried the lead.

The 4-2-3-1 formation remains unchanged.

On the sidelines of the court, Mourinho is still looking heroic.

Seeing Xia Xing, Mourinho greeted him warmly.

"Xia! Welcome to Stamford Bridge!"

"Hello Mourinho, I like it here too because I always have good memories here."

"I kind of regret saying hello to you now..."

"Haha, just kidding."

"But you are right, you visited Stamford Bridge twice and won both times, which is very good."

"The main thing is that the team played well."

"Okay, I'm quite humble. But half of Leicester City's substitute team came on stage in this game. If you want to win, you have no chance."

"Really? I think all my teammates are great and we can win this game."

"Would you like to make a bet?"

"What are you betting on? Winning or losing this game?"

"That's right! If you can still win here today, I will give you a bottle of wine that I treasure."

"Sounds good."

"If I win, how about you treat me to a big dinner next time I go to Leicester City?"

"no problem!"

The two high-fived and Xia Xing ran onto the court.

James was always in a good mood. He jokingly asked: "Xia, it seems that you are very likely to join Chelsea."

Xia Xing pouted: "Forget it, that guy Drinkwater has a better impression of Chelsea. When it comes to joining Chelsea, he is more suitable."

Drinkwater: "When I help Leicester City win the Premier League title, I will consider playing for Chelsea!"

De Laet: "Well, if you say that, you can retire in Leicester City."

Drinkwater: "We will definitely win the Premier League championship one day, I have confidence!"

De Laet: "Well, see..."

Drinkwater: "What's your attitude!"

Listening to his teammates' jokes, Xia Xing also smiled.

Not far away, Mourinho was still smiling.

He has been paying attention to Xia Xing during this period and likes this young man more and more.

Excellent skills, first-class body, smart mind, and great execution.

More importantly, he is only 19 years old.

This is definitely a super genius seedling!

Although the whole of Europe knows the genius of Xia Xing, Mourinho knows the value of this young man better than anyone else.

He communicates with Mendes from time to time and asks about Xia Xing's recent situation.

As Xia Xing's agent, Mendes is in close contact with Xia Xing.

From Mendes, Mourinho learned some of Xia Xing's personal living habits.

He trained like a moralist, and his biggest hobby was cooking at home.

He doesn't smoke, drink, or go to bars. Such a young man is a treasure!

Compared with talent and skills, Mourinho likes Xia Xing's personality more.

That's why he took the initiative to talk to Xia Xing.

On the court, Drogba, who was warming up, smiled.

Looking back, Mourinho also talked to him like this.

Put down the coach's posture and talk like a friend.

"Didier, if I have money one day, I will definitely buy you!"

Drogba still remembers that sentence.

Young man, let me see how talented you are!
