Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 105: Five-star inverse foot, I already told him that he is a genius! (asking for monthly ticket)

In the next few days, after daily training, Chen Yufeng will also perform some additional training on the training ground.

The main thing is to feel the improved ability, and to pretend to deceive the teammates to let them know that they have been practicing.

However, despite this, Chen Yufeng still often makes everyone dumbfounded in daily training.

In a team training match on January 1th.

With Chen Yufeng in the backcourt, a precise left-footed long pass penetrated the defense and fell appropriately in Vardy's running route.

Ranieri and Steve Walsh next to the court had another classic look at each other, and once again they saw a bit of amazement in their eyes.

This time, there was even a sense of helplessness in their expressions, as if their mentality had been affected by such continuous shocks.

"Ahem...it's incredible."

Steve Walsh coughed twice, as if he was choking, and then sighed: "His improvement rate is faster than that of a teenager in the youth team."

"It's really hard for you to imagine that this is a body of about 30 years old."

"Does he really have any evil powers?"

Steve Walsh couldn't help but feel a little conspiracy theory, "I just saw that he would occasionally practice more and practice his left foot. Can this really make people improve so quickly?"

"Hasn't De Zhuan's latest net worth record been released yet?"

Ranieli was too lazy to even sigh, and asked after swallowing.

"It should be soon, just in the next few days."

Steve Walsh replied, then shook his head and said: "If those who make statistics see that this kid now has a four-star inverse foot..."

"I'm afraid the value will increase again."

"Yes." Ranieli nodded without any objection.

The two didn't say much and continued to look towards the court.

Not long after, Chen Yufeng stood in the corner flag area on the left and sent an arcing pass towards the center.

After the football was cleared at one point, Shinji Okazaki snatched the ball from two points. After observing it, he passed the football to Chen Yufeng who was running back.

On the left side of the penalty area, Chen Yufeng moved the football, made a cross gesture, and then suddenly started to cut inside.

This time undoubtedly shook the defensive player away, and he lost the ability to mark Chen Yufeng.

Chen Yufeng quickly reached a position near the penalty area line.

"Bang!!"

Immediately, under everyone's astonished gaze, he swung his right arm, swung his left foot backwards, and thrust hard towards the goal, and also made a lifting movement on the instep side.

The football instantly lifted off the ground, drawing a beautiful arc and flying towards the far corner of the goal.

"Crack!" As a sound of iron was heard, the football with violent rotation finally hit the goal post and bounced out of the baseline.

Against the background that Leicester City's second goalkeeper has surrendered, there is a picture of Chen Yufeng covering his face with regret, and it is also a picture of all Leicester City players standing there with glazed eyes.

"I told you before, this guy is definitely a genius!"

Vardy sighed, patted Mahrez on the shoulder as if to comfort him, and said: "I have never seen someone practice his inverse foot so quickly, and he can hit difficult shots like the outside instep."

Not far away, Ranieri also covered his face, seemingly regretting that the goal was not scored.

Steve Walsh, standing behind him, slowly stretched out five fingers and sighed in a signature way.

"Five-star inverse foot!"

…………

Time flies like this day by day. On January 1, Leicester City ushered in the third round of the FA Cup.

This is the most important cup competition in the UK and has a high gold content.

For many fans of wealthy teams, if the home team cannot win the Premier League championship, then winning an FA Cup championship is barely acceptable...

For this competition, Leicester City certainly has no desire.

With the situation in the Premier League looking great and the EFL Cup reaching the semi-finals, they will no longer put any more pressure on themselves.

In this kind of game, it is natural to get out early and worry less.

It is worth mentioning that Leicester City’s opponent in this game is Tottenham Hotspur, a team that has a long history with them.

More importantly, after this FA Cup match, Leicester City's opponent in the next round of the Premier League will still be Tottenham.

One home game and one away game.

This ambiguous schedule has also attracted the attention of the outside world, as if they want to see if Tottenham can avenge the disastrous defeat in the first half.

At 02:30 in the afternoon, as Pochettino brought the Tottenham players who were in hot form recently to the King Power Stadium and prepared aggressively for a revenge battle, he quickly discovered something.

Leicester City directly played the entire substitute lineup, and there were even a few people who had never played in a professional league and were only 17 years old...

"Oh!"

Pochettino, who was sitting in the visiting team's locker room, couldn't help but slam the table to vent his anger.

He never thought that Leicester City would give up the FA Cup so simply, which undoubtedly made him feel like a heavy punch on the cotton.

In the end, Tottenham easily won the game [-]-[-].Leicester City has ended its FA Cup schedule this season and is going all out to hit the Premier League and League Cup!

This made all the soldiers of Leicester City breathe a sigh of relief and feel a sense of relief, so they can focus more on preparations!
They are about to reach their peak state!
It was a beast that was focused on nothing and charging forward with its head covered!
As for Tottenham, the depressed head coach Pochettino clearly expressed his thoughts at the post-match press conference.

"It's understandable that Leicester City gave up the FA Cup schedule. After all, they have good results in the Premier League and League Cup."

Facing the reporters in the audience, Pochettino had a somewhat regretful expression, "This is our revenge battle, which may have to be postponed to the league in a few days."

"We have been in good form recently and have reached the fourth position in the standings. We are eager to use this revenge battle to arouse stronger fighting spirit among the players so that they can rush more bravely in the second half of the game."

"Are you confident about the next game?" a reporter in the audience asked.

"Of course, we have completed the run-in, and the current Tottenham team is at its strongest."

Pochettino did not hesitate. When there was a tailwind, he was always in this very confident state, "We will definitely avenge our shame and win the next round of the Premier League."

"After all, you can't fall twice in the same place."

These were the last words Pochettino said.

His confident demeanor made many reporters on the scene look forward to the confrontation a few days later.

After getting rid of their respective newspapers and media, these reporters also issued reports one after another very quickly.

[Pochettino: We will avenge our disgrace in the game and will not fall twice in one place! 】

[Tottenham Hotspur, who are completely victorious, are about to go to the No. 20 round of the Premier League to take revenge on Leicester City! 】

[Both teams have been in good form recently, let's see who can have the last laugh! 】

[Leicester City will welcome Tottenham again...]

The media and fans here must know football. After seeing that Ranieli's pure substitute lineup gave up the FA Cup, they didn't mention it more.

They don't want to be laughed at.

What they care about more will undoubtedly be the game in the league a few days later that both teams will strive to win!
Fans across the UK are also looking forward to this game.

"Come on Tottenham! As Gary Neville said, Leicester City is about to enter their weak period."

"Yes, in fact, from the big rotation in the Premier League draw with Bournemouth to the full substitute lineup in this FA Cup, we can already see that there may be injuries in the team."

"Yes, maybe it's the match against Tottenham that will sink us!"

"Everyone knows that all it takes now is one defeat to defeat this Leicester City and break all their courage!"

"Come on Tottenham! Defeat all their arrogance!"

"..."

When people are in a weak position, they always like to grab a lot of things as life-saving straws.

Now these fans of other teams in the British peninsula are the same, clinging to Tottenham.

They only saw Pochettino's confident state, but did not see the hidden dangers of Tottenham's defense.

Leicester City's entire substitute lineup could score a goal for them...

Can it be defended when faced with the two sides partnered by Mahrez, Chen Yufeng and Vardy's impact?

This is definitely a worrying issue, but fans who are still immersed in expectations at this moment will definitely shield this point subconsciously.

In this way, time continued to move forward, and in the blink of an eye it was January 1.14th.

On this day, following the team bus, Chen Yufeng came to London again.

The purpose this time is not the Emirates Stadium or any other stadium, but another famous stadium - White Hart Lane.

This is also a world-famous stadium. It has been with Tottenham Hotspur for 115 years and has a very long history.

It has witnessed the rise and fall of Tottenham, has accompanied generations of Tottenham fans in North London to grow up and aged, and ultimately passed on the will of White Hart Lane to the next generation.

Even though its capacity is only over 6000 and many buildings are obsolete, it is still a very famous stadium.

The last time Leicester City faced off against Tottenham at the King Power Stadium, Tottenham ended up losing miserably.

When they return to White Hart Lane this time, they will naturally have a lot of desire for revenge.

"In 115 years, we need a Premier League trophy!"

"Mr. Pochettino, please help us realize our dreams!"

"Tottenham Hotspur! Tottenham Hotspur!"

"We will definitely beat Leicester City, I believe in Pochettino!"

Before the bus entered the vicinity of White Hart Lane, Chen Yufeng could already hear the faint shouts of Tottenham fans.

He actually had no feelings for this place where he had stayed for several years.

During the Tottenham period, he did not score a goal on behalf of Tottenham and completed his kneeling slide at White Hart Lane.

When he comes back here again, he hopes it will start with a wonderful goal and end with a cool kneeling move.

Mr. Pochettino, I'm sorry...

This was also the place in my dreams...

　Why don't you give me a monthly ticket for this kind of explosion, brothers!
