Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 19: A big win over Sunderland, one goal and one assist! (Seeking for further reading)
"Look at him, look at his passing!"

Advocaat almost collapsed. He spread his hands and collapsed on the coaching bench, unable to calm down his restless mood.

"If you give me something about him before the game, I can at least tell the goalkeeper not to stand too far forward to prevent him from lobbing!"

"I can also tell our defenders not to leave too many gaps behind them to avoid being found in the gaps by long passes!"

"You tell me what to do with this score? Will I continue to play like this and concede a hundred goals in a season?"

After the words fell, the entire Sunderland bench fell into silence. All the assistant coaches and substitute players sat there, not knowing what to do.

The cheers of the Leicester City fans started again, with some joy on each of their faces.

Some people even raised the beer in their hands high into the sky, creating a fireworks feast of beer foam.

The people next to me who got wet were not angry, even if they were well-dressed and wearing expensive clothes.

"Vardy! Super shooter!"

Someone sighed.

"He was like a god descending to earth, scoring two goals in the first game!"

"And that Asian guy, his passing is so accurate. I have never seen anyone on the team who is so good at long passes. After he came up today, he scored one goal and one assist!"

"Yes, we didn't even know his name yet, and he brought us a feast of goals!"

"Five to two, let me see if anyone else says we are Sunderland's easiest opponent to score points!"

"Come on, we completed the relegation task earlier and we can relax."

"..."

All the fans cheered and cheered, and everyone's face was surrounded by excitement and happiness.

For these fan groups whose home teams are relatively weak, it is rare for them to see their team win a hearty victory.

More often, it is the waste of a losing streak, the suffering of not winning in several rounds, and the worry of hearing that the relegation opponent will score again.

Leicester City fans experienced almost all of this last season, and it was not until the end of the season that they frantically grabbed points and successfully avoided relegation.

For them, there is really nothing more gratifying than seeing the team score a big win, and in the opening game of the season!
This gives them confidence in the team's performance this season and feels reassured about the status of the players.

the other side.

Sunderland fans must have hit rock bottom.

They saw the players whose team was defeated, the head coach whose mentality exploded, and the whole scene was full of chicken feathers.

All the Sunderland fan sections were silent at this time, with unwillingness and disappointment lingering on the faces of every fan.

No one is looking forward to anything anymore, some are just filled with hatred for the team.

Playing against a team like Leicester City, you can still lose so many points and be defeated by others.

How can this make them believe in the team and still support the team enthusiastically in the future?
"Mahrez and Vardy, these two points are a bit abnormal. Leicester City will definitely face poaching after the season or even during the season!"

After a long silence, a Sunderland fan said something vicious, with acrimony and vitriol in his words.

"Yes, their new players Kirishin Oka and Kante are also very good, and they are very active on the court, but so what, can they keep winning if they beat us?"

"Hurry up and let the wealthy clubs notice these people and poach them. Let the Leicester City fans know where they should be. Look at their excitement now!"

"A relegation team is a relegation team, and relegation is unavoidable. Once these people are gone, they will wait to be relegated to the Championship and then relegated to League One next year!"

"Bah! So what if there are more flowers today? That Asian guy I haven't seen before might also be poached, and maybe he can only play those two kicks this season. Otherwise, why is he unknown?"

"..."

It can be said that the score of [-] to [-] and the humiliating defeat made these Sunderland fans black.

They looked at everything in the stadium with great displeasure and cursed the Leicester City team and Leicester City players in a very ungraceful manner.

Sometimes people are like this, and they easily lose their minds in some of the darkest moments.

Often, people also need the anger and jealousy of these losers to lay the foundation and highlight the greatness of the winners.

…………

"Beep! Beep! Beep—!"

Not long after the goal, the referee blew three long whistles to end the game, declaring the end of the game.

The Leicester City fans at the scene cheered again, celebrating the team's opening victory of the new season with glory, the first three-point game.After the cheers, there was applause.

Everyone applauded their players and expressed their affirmation for coach Ranieri.

At least, judging from this game, Ranieri still has something, and they saw a brand-new team.

off the pitch.

The players of Leicester City hugged each other to celebrate the victory. The five-goal victory over the opponent and the multi-point victory made everyone smile from ear to ear.

Vardy scored twice, Mahrez scored two goals and assisted, and Chen Yufeng scored and assisted!

Andy King and Drinkwater also scored goals and assists respectively!

“One goal and one assist, it’s really a dream debut.”

After the game, Mahrez, who rarely spoke to Chen Yufeng after joining the team, came to Chen Yufeng's side, smiled and shook his head and said: "Come on, continue to prove it to the teams that abandoned you before."

"I will."

Chen Yufeng nodded slightly, high-fived Mahrez and hugged him.

"The ball passed really well at the end. I barely had to adjust and it was very comfortable when I hit it."

Vardy came up immediately and thanked Chen Yufeng for providing him with assists, "Play more and give me more assists, haha."

He rarely smiled, but he also showed a row of teeth and seemed to be in a happy mood.

"You fought beautifully."

Chen Yufeng also high-fived Vardy, and then replied: "Of course I will strive for more playing time. That is my biggest goal."

After Vardy left, Kantegao Kirshinji, who had the best relationship with Chen Yufeng, ran up from behind.

Because of his small stature, Kanter always felt that patting Chen Yufeng's butt was very convenient. After rushing over, he first patted Chen Yufeng's butt with his hand.

Chen Yufeng just saw him from the corner of his eye. As if he had predicted his movements, he moved sideways and quickly turned around, using his height advantage to grab Kanter's neck. "You kid, I knew you were going to get sick again."

"On the court, your predictions are very accurate and you can bully other team players, but off the court, you just wait to be bullied by me and Oka Kirshinji!"

As he spoke, Chen Yufeng also increased the strength in his hands. Kanter shrank his neck in pain and repeatedly begged for mercy, "I'm wrong, I don't dare anymore."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Kirishin Oka also came from behind. He slapped Kanter on the butt and put his arms around Chen Yufeng's shoulders. "Congratulations, Yufeng-kun. You came so late in your first game in your career, but you scored and assisted as soon as you came on the field." .”

"If you start the team as soon as possible, the two of us can partner up in the frontcourt. I hope you can also give me a few assists so that I can fully experience the feeling of scoring goals in the Premier League."

Chen Yufeng let go of Kanter, smiled and nodded.

The three walked to the coach's seat on the sidelines together, high-fived and hugged Ranieri to celebrate the victory.

When it was Chen Yufeng's turn, Ranieri's eyes showed some strangeness and emotion. Immediately, he took a deep breath and hugged Chen Yufeng tightly.

"Well done! Your performance conquered the fans, your teammates, and of course, me."

"I will give you more playing time, as long as your condition is stable, trust me!"

“Have a great time at Leicester City!”

Ranieri said what he said before again, with the same kind smile on his face.

However, in Chen Yufeng's heart, when he said this twice, the meanings expressed were completely different.

For the first time, Ranieri just lamented his tortuous career and ensured that he had no place in Leicester City. He just hoped to stay comfortable and be happy in life.

And this time, I hope he can have a happy career with Leicester City this season!

With real playing time, goals and assists, you can enjoy this charming sport every week, listen to the cheers of the fans, compete fiercely on the court, and compete with top stars!

Chen Yufeng was once again surrounded by happiness, and his whole body was touched.

The future that was originally covered in layers of gloom seemed to have become completely bright in just this week.

Feeling all this, Chen Yufeng seemed to be in a trance as the classic victory settlement music of Fast and Furious 5 sounded in his ears.

His current mood was the same as that of those who opened the safe.
