Chapter 265 Champions League Draw
Leicester City, which has been in excellent form this season, was eliminated by Bury in the League Cup.
This has become the news in English football in recent times.
You know, they just beat Barcelona and became the European Super Cup champion.
And they have won three consecutive league games and are now at the top of the list.
But unexpectedly, this time a Championship team beat them down.
Countless media laughed at them.
"London Sports": "Leicester City was finally defeated by a Championship team. But this is no wonder, after all, they are a team of this level."
"The Times": "The miracle of Leicester City is over, and their dream is about to end!"
"The Sun": "It is said that there was unrest in the Leicester City locker room. The veteran players brought by Pearson had a fierce conflict with the new players introduced by Ranieri this season! Please continue to pay attention to the follow-up reports of this newspaper!"
It was a mess.
Although the Leicester Evening News explained that this game was just a substitute, it was not the real strength of Leicester City.
But no one listened to it, and they all felt that Leicester City seemed to be about to fall apart.
This made many Leicester City fans very upset.
What's going on?
Are you just looking forward to something happening to Leicester City?
At this time, the players on the training ground of Leicester City also started to make trouble.
In the team training match, James dribbled the ball and was directly tackled by Kante.
This tackle was very clean and not fierce.
However, James fell to the ground and shouted exaggeratedly: "Help! Hitting! New players bullying old players! It hurts so much!"
Kante was shocked and ran over to help him up: "Man, I didn't mean it, are you okay..."
Drinkwater next to him pushed Kante away: "Don't pay attention to him, he's just playing tricks. Where does it hurt? I'll treat you."
James: "You actually stepped on me!"
Drinkwater: "I remember you said you liked this tune?"
"Don't spit blood! I haven't been to that kind of place!"
James jumped up from the ground, looking lively and energetic.
The players laughed.
Kante was a little confused.
Xia Xing smiled and patted his shoulder: "These guys just love to play tricks, don't mind it."
Kante: "Oh, you scared me, I thought I really tackled him..."
Ranieri on the sidelines couldn't help laughing: "Everyone take a five-minute break and drink some water. The temperature is a bit high today, don't get heatstroke."
Shakespeare next to him snorted: "That group of unscrupulous media, we have such a good team atmosphere, they still throw all kinds of dirty water, it's really rubbish!"
Ranieri looked like he had seen the world: "This group of media, it's always like this. I have coached in the Premier League for many years and I'm used to it."
After losing to Bury, Leicester City encountered a little trouble.
But soon, they proved their strength with victory.
Three days later, in the fourth round of the Premier League, Leicester City played away against Bournemouth.
In this game, Leicester City won the game steadily with a neat 3-0 and won three points.
Vardy, Van Persie and Mahrez each scored a goal, helping the team to easily defeat the opponent.
Especially Vardy and Van Persie, the cooperation between the two is getting better and better.
One is fast and explosive, the other is experienced and accurate in shooting.
The two passed and shot each other in this game, which was an important part of the team's victory.
Facing the interview of reporters after the game, Vardy excitedly stepped forward and patted Van Persie on the shoulder.
Van Persie pointed at Vardy and "accused" the media in an exaggerated manner.
"Did you see it? The old players of Leicester City bullied the new players! He hit me! You media have to make the decision for me!"
There was laughter at the scene.
The reporter of "The Sun" blushed.
After this game, the Premier League fell into silence temporarily.
Because the national team match day is here.
In a week, many Leicester City players were called up and joined the national team.
This is completely different from the situation last year when Leicester City had few national team members.
It is worth mentioning that the English Football Association contacted Xia Xing privately to inquire about his possibility of joining the England national team.
Xia Xing declined politely.
Although he is a British citizen, he grew up in China and still considers himself a Chinese in his heart.
He still finds it a little hard to accept that he wears a foreign jersey and represents other national teams in the competition.
Anyway, he is still young, so let's talk about the national team later.
On August 29, after the fourth round of the Premier League, Leicester City ended its August campaign.
In the following September, Leicester City will not have many games, only four in total.
On September 13, Leicester City will face Aston Villa at home in the fifth round of the Premier League.
On September 16, Leicester City ushered in the first round of the Champions League group stage.
On September 19, the sixth round of the Premier League, away to Stoke City.
On September 26, the seventh round of the Premier League, the opponent is the powerful Arsenal.
There are only four games, which looks easy, but in fact the pressure is not small.
Especially after the national team match day returns, the team will definitely face the invasion of the FIFA virus.
It is hard to say what state the players can reach.
In the three Premier League games, the opponent is the strong Arsenal, which is not easy to play against.
More importantly, they are about to usher in the first Champions League experience in team history.
Entering the Champions League for the first time has made everyone in Leicester City look forward to it.
The highest level stage in Europe will usher in the debut of a new team of rookies.
Although Ranieri did not say anything, and Leicester City Club did not make any rhetoric, everyone at the Blue Fox was looking forward to the Champions League this season, even more than the Premier League.
On September 1st, during the FIFA national team match day, the UEFA Champions League group stage grouping ceremony completed the draw.
Ranieri brought Shakespeare and Xia Xing, who had no national team duties, and the three appeared at the draw.
The results of this draw were mixed.
Fortunately, we did not enter the death group.
Worryingly, I encountered a super powerful opponent.
In Group A of the Champions League group stage, Leicester City’s three opponents are-
real Madrid!
Benfica!
Malmö!
When seeing the result of the draw, Ranieri and Shakespeare looked at each other.
Shakespeare grimaced.
He murmured in a low voice: "What level is Real Madrid? We can't compare with them at all; Benfica is the hegemon of the Portuguese Super League, and if it comes to play in the Premier League, it will be a championship-level team; Malmo is the Swedish champion, with a tough style of play and no It’s easy to deal with. It seems that our team’s wish to qualify this time will be difficult to achieve..."
Ranieri didn't say anything, he looked at Xia Xing on the other side.
Unlike Shakespeare's gloomy face, Xia Xing's face is full of smiles.
Ranieri asked in a low voice: "What do you think of this Champions League group stage?"
Xia Xing smiled broadly: "I think this lottery result is very good!"
