greenery is king

Chapter 1480 Chinese Derby ([-])

The relationship between Ranieri and Chelsea is very complicated. After Abramovich bought Chelsea, Ranieri still worked under him for a year. Although he led the team to win the Premier League runner-up and reach the Champions League semi-finals, he was eventually defeated by Mourinho. Instead, Ranieri has now returned to the Premier League and led the grassroots team Leicester to collect debts from his old club.

Although Ranieri didn't mention this period of history before the game, everyone knew that he must want to do something, not to mention that Leicester already had a completely different temperament at this time.

Ranieri's introduction of players before this season has been controversial. First of all, his team has Zhang Lindong and Dongfang Zhuo from China. However, the outside world is relatively restrained about these two people, because Zhang Lindong is the main side from Marseille. Defender, and he is the only one so far who can defend against Ai Huan's free kick, regardless of whether the ball was intentional or not, but the fact is that.And Dongfang Zhuo has no objection. He scored [-] league goals and assisted three goals in Queens Park Rangers last season. He has proved his worth with his performance. The Rangers were relegated in the end, but it didn't have much to do with him.

The real controversy comes from three people, they are Kanter, Mahrez and Vardy. The first two of them are players from the lower leagues. When Ranieri bought them, no one knew at all. Their names, the third person is a very famous football king, very famous in the field of football, but the question is, can a football player really play in the Premier League?
But it turns out that Ranieri is really good. At least in terms of knowing people, he is no worse than any world famous coach, and even higher than many people's vision, because he bought these three people with a total cost of less than 20 pounds. , but after these games, their value may have exceeded a hundred times.

In this game, Ranieri said that he had no ideas, but in fact the formation he put up was carefully prepared by himself, and he had ideas.

In this game, he played his best 4-4-2, goalkeeper Schmeichel, back line Simpson, Zhang Lindong, Morgan and Frings, under his rule Zhang Lindong was placed in the central defender position, This is the same position as he is in the Chinese national team, but he was questioned at the beginning, can a player like him really withstand the repeated pulling of those super forwards in the Premier League?But the actual situation is that Zhang Lindong has quickly adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League. So far this season, he has played against players like Lukaku, Sterling, and Sturridge, and he has maintained quite good results. He did not fall behind in physical confrontation or technical level.

The four midfielders are Delin Cowart, Kanter, Albrighton and Mahrez.It is surprising that Kanter appeared in the Premier League as a single defensive midfielder. No one expected that such a player from a low-level league could control the midfield so easily. No matter who he was against, he did not fall behind. Yu Xiafeng has become the well-deserved stealing king in the midfield entirely by his own ability. You must know that his performance in the low-level leagues has never been noticed before. How about this?
Mahrez is naturally also a member of the attention. He is well-deserved as the core of Leicester City's midfielder. The most important thing is that he has never mentioned the forward position before, but here he is like a fish in water. It is almost geometrically growing upwards, which is unbelievable to anyone.

The forward line is Vardy and Dongfang Zhuo. The combination of these two people has become the best combination that has been hotly discussed recently. They have teamed up to score [-] goals for Leicester in all competitions so far. Qiu, although their family is not as large as Ai Huan alone, but thinking about the worth of these two people, one cannot help sighing. Could it be that Ranieri really has a magic wand that turns stone into gold?How could he combine these players together and make them burst into such amazing fighting power?
This team plays defensive counterattacks, but no one has ever seen such a team in the Premier League until now. Such a small club dares to fight against giants like Liverpool and Arsenal. Full attack and full defense, played very well, so Mourinho did not dare to underestimate such a team.

In this game, he didn't dare to make a big deal, so he sent all the main lineup he could come up with, goalkeeper Petr Cech, defender Azpilicueta, Marcos, Umtiti and Cristo, Ivan Norwich has never recovered from his injury, and Terry has no way to play due to physical reasons. Fortunately, this defense can also be called very good.

The two defensive midfielders are Cesc Fabregas and Luiz. Lampard sat on the bench again, and Fabregas also wore Chelsea's captain's armband for the first time.Recently, Lampard and Fabregas have been rotated by Mourinho. The two have proved difficult to coexist, so Mourinho simply gave them their own opportunities. Fortunately, Chelsea has a lot of games, so they both Did not show any unhappy meaning.

The trident in the frontcourt is the neatest configuration in recent times. Mata finally appeared in the starting position again after his return from injury. He, De Bruyne and Ai Huan once again formed Chelsea's frontcourt attack group. Mourinho's favorite player, Diego Costa, is on the front line. Huntelaar, like Lukaku last season, has been firmly nailed to the bench.

These two teams haven't met for a long time. Leicester has been ups and downs in the Premier League, and they are no longer opponents of teams like Chelsea, so the confrontation data between them has long been meaningless.

However, the players were very harmonious when they were in the player tunnel, because there were Chinese players in both teams, so this game was also called the Chinese Derby by the outside world, and the relationship between the three people was also very good, so everyone met. Looks very happy.

"Brother Dongfang, Brother Zhang, haha, let's meet again." Ai Huan was younger than them, so it was rare to say hello first.

The two people responded with a smile, and then they each talked about what they saw and heard in England. Everyone talked about it, and the British food was really terrible. It's really hard to get used to this kind of life.
