Chapter 96 A powerful opponent

In the stands, some old fans were crying.

Premier League, we are finally here!
A few years ago, they were struggling in League One.

It was not until the 2008-2009 season that they won the League One Championship and returned to the second-tier League Championship.

In the few seasons of the British Championship, they also experienced constant twists and turns.

Now, they finally did it!

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

The experience of failing to reach the Super League last season is still vivid in their minds, and their memories are still fresh.

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

This season, they are back!
Stay on top of the list!

Leading No.2 with more than ten league points for a long time!
Win the English Championship six rounds ahead of schedule!

Successfully overtake!

Perfect season!
Countless ribbons fluttered, and countless applause cheered!
The King Power Stadium has now become a sea of ​​joy!

Pearson on the sidelines is also smiling.

Since this season, his smile has increased a lot.

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

He thought, this season will play a good result.

But I never dreamed that it was such an overwhelming advantage to win the championship.

awesome!
This night, the city of Leicester has no sleep!

After this game, Pearson once again gave the players two days off to rest.

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

It's not how strong the opponent Brighton is, but Leicester City has completely lined up young and substitute lineups in this game.

Not to mention Mahrez and Vardy, even Xia Xing, who has occupied the main position all the year round and has super physical fitness, has not entered the 18-man squad.

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

Losing doesn't matter.

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

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

Because in a few days, they will meet a very powerful 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 Arsene Wenger was one of the most attacking teams in Europe.

"I even think that if they are in good form, their offensive power will be among the top three in Europe.

"This opponent is strong, very strong.

"Goalkeeper Szczesny is solid.

"Defenders Vermaelen, Mertesacker, Koscielny, all solid.

"Rosicky, Arteta and Cazorla in the midfield play very artistically, with excellent passing and shooting.

"And Ramsey, Flamini, Chamberlain,
"Arsenal can even field two sets of starting midfielders of equal quality, which is great.

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

"He's a first-class center forward of this era in my mind,
"Strong attacking power, stronger ability to make the ball,

"Standard post center forward.

"Our opponent this time is tough.

"This game, this opponent, what do you think?"

As soon as Pearson finished speaking, Drinkwater spoke first.

"Coach, I just looked at the Premier League table last night,
"Arsenal are fourth,

"Well, it's still fourth.

"Who's in front of him?

"Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea,

"Those three teams are ahead of Arsenal by a lot,
"In other words, the overall strength and state of Arsenal this season is not as good as the previous three teams.

"That's interesting,

"In the FA Cup, it seems like Manchester City and Chelsea were knocked out by the same team?
"Really, James?"

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

"Is it Manchester United?"

"of course not!"

"Is it Liverpool?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Who is that?"

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

"Perfect! We can even win first and third in the Premier League, who cares about a Premier League No.4?"

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

Pearson and Shakespeare exchanged glances.

"Nigel, I really want to hit James, he is so stupid and slut."

"Get it under control, get it under control."

Just after Drinkwater and James sang together, Draet next to him also spoke.

"I didn't defend Giroud, but I defended Dzeko.

"We haven't played against Rosicky, Cazorla, Ramsey,

"But we played against David Silva, Nasri, Yaya Toure,
"I watched the Premier League a few days ago,

"Manchester City drew 1-1 with Arsenal, which is a close match.

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

"We would have won 1-0 against Arsenal.

"It's very reasonable to infer in the same way."

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

The Doubi trio had all spoken, and the other players also spoke one after another.

Even Mahrez, who is the least talkative, said: "Playing Arsenal, I will score goals!"

Vardy: "Dude, can you try for another assist..."

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

After 10 minutes, Pearson nodded: "Since you are all so confident, I am of course happy. I hope that our legendary FA Cup experience this season will not end, and it will go to the end!"

"necessary!"

"We will be in the final!"

"We are the FA Cup winners for sure!"

With the players screaming with conviction, Pearson announced the end of the day's training.

Almost all players left the training ground.

This period of time is too tiring, and Vardy is also adjusting his body and temporarily stopping additional training.

However, there is still one person who did not stop, and he is still practicing alone on the court.

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

"Xia, why don't you take a break? You guys really have unlimited stamina."

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

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

"it is good!"

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

Pierson looked at Xia Xing and recalled the scene just now.

"The discussion about Arsenal just now, why didn't you speak? You are not a silent and introverted young man."

"Well... just now everyone was expressing their opinions in full swing. It might not be appropriate for me to speak, so I didn't say anything."

"Why is it inappropriate?"

"Because I think differently from them."

"Oh? Thinking differently? You think they're overconfident?"

"No, no, it's not that they are overconfident. Self-confidence is of course a good thing."

"Then you think they underestimated the enemy?"

"That's right! I just underestimated the enemy! The opponent Arsenal this time is completely different from the previous Manchester City and Chelsea..."
