Chapter 96 A powerful opponent

In the stands, some old fans were in tears.

We are finally here in the Premier League!

A few years ago, they were still struggling in the English First Division.

It was not until the 2008-2009 season that they won the English First Division and returned to the second-tier English Championship.

And in the several seasons in the English Championship, they also had twists and turns.

Now, they have finally succeeded!

And for many new fans, they are also very excited.

They still remember the experience of failing to advance to the Premier League last season.

And they also left a painful experience of the "Watford Miracle", which made them a laughing stock of others.

This season, they are back!

Continue to sit at the top of the list!

Lead the second place by more than ten league points for a long time!

Won the English Championship six rounds in advance!

Successfully promoted to the Premier League!

Perfect season!

Countless ribbons flying, countless applause!

The King Power Stadium has become a sea of ​​joy at this moment!

Pearson on the sidelines of the stadium also smiled.

He has smiled a lot more this season.

The team's performance is getting better and better, and his mood is getting better and better.

He thought that he would achieve good results this season.

But he never dreamed that he would win the championship with such an overwhelming advantage.

Great!

Leicester City was sleepless that night!

After this game, Pearson gave the players two days off again to have a good rest.

Three days later, in the 41st round of the English Championship, Leicester City lost 0-3 at home.

It's not that the opponent Brighton is so strong, but that Leicester City completely lined up a young and substitute lineup in this game.

Not to mention Mahrez and Vardy, even Xia Xing, who has been occupying the main position for many years and has super good physical fitness, did not enter the 18-man roster.

For Leicester City, which has already won the championship, this game is just a training.

Losing is not a big deal.

The most important thing now is that the players must get the maximum rest.

After playing for a whole season, they are already very tired and need to adjust quickly.

Because in a few days, they will meet a very strong opponent!

Leicester City's opponent in the FA Cup semi-final is Arsenal!

After the team's tactical training, before the end of the day's training, Pearson talked about Arsenal with a serious expression.

"The team under Wenger is one of the most powerful teams in Europe.

"I even think that if they are in good shape, their offensive power is in the top three in Europe.

"This opponent is very strong, especially strong.

"Goalkeeper Szczesny is very stable.

"Defenders Vermaelen, Mertesacker, Koscielny are all very stable.

"Midfielders Rosicky, Arteta, Cazorla, etc. play very artistically and have good passing and shooting.

"There are also Ramsey, Flamini, Chamberlain, etc.,

"Arsenal can even line up two sets of starting midfielders with equal strength, which is very powerful.

"The absolute arrow on the front line is naturally Giroud,

"He is a first-class center forward of this era in my mind,

"Strong offensive power, stronger ball-making ability,

"Standard column center forward.

"Our opponent this time is very difficult to play against."

"What do you think of this game and this opponent?"

Drinkwater spoke first as soon as Pearson finished speaking.

"Coach, I just looked at the Premier League rankings last night.

"Arsenal is fourth.

"Yes, still fourth.

"Who is ahead of him?

"Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea.

"These three teams are ahead of Arsenal by a lot.

"That is to say, Arsenal's overall strength and state this season are not as good as the three teams in front.

"That's interesting.

"In the FA Cup, it seems that Manchester City and Chelsea were eliminated by the same team, right?

"Really, James?"

James next to him said: "That's right! They were all eliminated by a great team!"

"Was it Manchester United?"

"Of course not!"

"Was it Liverpool?"

"No way!"

"Who is that?"

"It's Leicester City! It's us!"

"Perfect! We can even beat the first and third place in the Premier League, who cares about the fourth place in the Premier League?"

After saying this, Drinkwater looked at the coaching staff triumphantly.

Pearson and Shakespeare looked at each other.

"Nigel, I really want to hit James, he's so stupid and mean."

"Control it, control it."

Just as Drinkwater and James finished singing in unison, De Laet next to them also spoke.

"I have never defended Giroud, but I have defended Dzeko.

"We have never played against Rosicky, Cazorla, Ramsey, etc.,

"But we have played against David Silva, Nasri, Yaya Toure, etc.,

"I watched the Premier League a few days ago,

"Manchester City and Arsenal tied 1-1, which is evenly matched.

"So it can be seen that we can beat Manchester City 1-0,

"We can also beat Arsenal 1-0.

"By the same logic, it is very reasonable. ”

Shakespeare: "Your middle school physical education class was taught by a math teacher..."

The funny trio spoke, and other players also spoke.

Even Mahrez, who is the least talkative, spoke: "Playing against Arsenal, I will definitely score!"

Vardy: "Brother, can you try to get another assist..."

Pearson and Shakespeare watched the players speak with confidence, and they listened carefully.

Ten minutes later, Pearson nodded: "Since you are all so confident, I am of course happy. I hope that our legendary experience in the FA Cup will not end this season, and we will go all the way to the end!"

"It must be!"

"We will definitely enter the final!"

"We will definitely be the FA Cup champions!"

Accompanied by the players' screaming belief, Pearson announced the end of the day's training.

Almost all the players left the training ground.

This period of time is too tiring, Vardy and others are also adjusting their bodies and temporarily stop training.

However, there is still one person who has not stopped, and he is still training alone on the court.

Pearson and Shakespeare were discussing tactics, and when they looked up, they saw the figure on the court.

"Xia, why don't you take a break? You are really a guy with unlimited physical energy."

"It's okay, coach, I'm fine!"

"Come and rest for a while, let's talk."

"Okay!"

When he came to the side of the court, Shakespeare gave up his seat and let Xia Xing sit between them.

Pearson looked at Xia Xing, recalling the scene just now.

"Why didn't you say anything during the discussion about Arsenal just now? You are not a silent and introverted guy."

"Well... everyone was expressing their opinions enthusiastically just now, and it might not be appropriate for me to speak, so I didn't say anything."

"Why not?"

"Because I have different ideas from them."

"Oh? Different ideas? Do you think they are overconfident?"

"No, no, no, they are not overconfident. Confidence is of course a good thing."

"Then do you think they underestimated the enemy?"

"That's right! They underestimated the enemy! This time, the opponent Arsenal is completely different from the previous Manchester City and Chelsea..."
