Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 231 The first conversation with Boss Mei, the arrival of the Community Shield match (please vote for me)

Not long after, Chen Yufeng and Mahrez walked towards the player tunnel together, preparing to return to the locker room to rest.

During the second half of the game, they didn't sit outside the court, and were ready to fly back after the break.

Three days later, there will be a Community Shield match. They must have a preliminary understanding of Manchester United and talk about their views on that match.

When the two left the field, Messi and Suarez next to them were also preparing to leave. They were also preparing to return to the locker room to rest, and they were definitely not going to play in the second half.

The four of them met in the player tunnel and walked together.

For a shy player like Messi, he is not particularly good at taking the initiative to communicate with others. He usually waits for others to come up and talk to him.

It happened that Mahrez and Chen Yufeng were not social butterflies, so the atmosphere when the four of them walked side by side was a bit awkward.

Finally, it was Suarez who smiled at Chen Yufeng and stretched out his right hand, "Well played, Mr. European Cup Champion."

"You too." Chen Yufeng smiled and turned his head and shook hands with Suarez.

Then, Messi turned around and took this opportunity to shake hands and hug Chen Yufeng, "I watched that final and I was very envious of your success in the intercontinental competition."

“I’m also envious of your Golden Globes and I hope I can have a few in my home one day.”

Chen Yufeng didn't hide anything, he smiled and expressed his desire, "Come on, I hope we can inspire each other and maintain an atmosphere of healthy competition."

"Yes, I hope we can meet in the Champions League. That is the real competition. I will definitely try my best. Come on."

Messi shook hands with Chen Yufeng and hugged him again, and then walked toward the locker room together.

When the two parted from the aisle, they were even a little reluctant to leave. They reached out to each other and gave each other a final fist bump to send blessings.

"The Champions League will go further in the new season." Messi said with a smile. In his opinion, this is the best congratulations to Chen Yufeng.

"Of course, we will work hard. I hope you can stay in Barcelona forever and protect the story of one person, one city." Chen Yufeng expressed a regret he had while watching football in his previous life.

He actually wanted to say pay attention to Laporta, but if he said this now, not only would he not be believed, but he would also look sick.

I can only mention it, hoping that Messi can fight for it sooner.

The two parted ways in the player tunnel and took different paths.

However, just like Ronaldo, Chen Yufeng knows very well that he and top players like Messi will definitely meet again on the top stage.

Not long after, Mahrez and Chen Yufeng returned to the locker room and lay on the mat to rest while paying attention to the situation outside the field.

After replacing Busquets and other main players, Barcelona finally recovered two goals in the second half, but at the last moment, Ulloa hit another one with his head.

Five to three, this is the final score.

This kind of performance game is just a joke for both sides, and it really doesn't mean much.

But no matter what, beating Barcelona can still make these boys feel better for a while.

If you really want them to maintain the highest confidence and fighting spirit into the new season, they must strive for the pre-season Community Shield final.

This is equivalent to directly allowing them to start the new season as champions, and the significance of this can be imagined.

Not to mention, this trophy is also a trophy that Leicester City has never touched in history. If it is won, it will also be of great significance.

Their team, which has created a miracle for the Blue Foxes, will make another notable mark in its record.

The game was approaching in this atmosphere.

…………

June 8, at noon.

London, England, the sun shines on this city, but it does not seem hot. The overall temperature is quite comfortable.

The new season of the Premier League has not yet started, but today, many fans from other cities suddenly poured out on the streets of London. They were either wearing blue jerseys or red jerseys.

There is only one destination for these people, and that is the famous Wembley Stadium.

Yes, the Community Shield final will start in this stadium today, against Leicester City and Manchester United.

Last season's Premier League champion and FA Cup champion!

They will use a decisive battle to directly determine the Community Shield champion and take home the Shield trophy!
  Who will win depends on the game that will start at two o'clock.

Fans from Manchester United have surrounded the magnificent Wembley Stadium. They waved the Red Devils and Manchester United team flags and sang the team's anthem loudly.

“Glory glory Man United!!”

“As the reds go marching on on on!!”

This is a song that all Manchester United fans are familiar with. It is the 83 version of the team song. It is catchy and passionate.

The new season has begun. As one of the most established giants in the Premier League, Manchester United fans still have high expectations for the home team.

Especially after the team drove away the Dutchman Louis van Gaal and invited the miracle worker Mourinho.

Although Mourinho's performance at Chelsea last season was poor, in the eyes of Manchester United fans, there are reasons and can be explained.

They believe that Mourinho will be able to bring Manchester United back to its peak of glory and put this team on the right track!

Take a look at the investment of the board of directors this season, and then take a look at the Premier League winning odds list!

This kind of confidence is not unreasonable.

"Pogba!! Pogba!! Pogba!!"

"Ibrahimovic! Ibrahimovic!!"

"Manchester, charge! Wembley Stadium belongs to us today, Mourinho, please lift the cup for us!"

"The old men of Leicester City can no longer stand it. Our Pogba and Mkhitaryan will definitely break through their defense and blast their goal! Ibrahimovic will lead this group of young people to defeat Manchester United. Bloody!"     "New season, new atmosphere! Charge!"

"..."

From the slogans they shouted, it can also be heard that they have expectations for most of the players in the team.

Indeed, judging from paper strength alone, this is a group of strong players who can also form a strong lineup.

Coupled with the madman Mourinho, Manchester United fans will definitely go crazy.

Looking around, most of the area outside Wembley Stadium was dyed into a sea of ​​red by Manchester United fans, and red flags filled the entire sky.

As for the fans of last season's Premier League champion Leicester City, they are inevitably a little petty and just stand in an area to cheer for the team.

This is inevitable for small town teams. Before the start of each season, they will have worries about the team's new season.

The perennial pressure of relegation, promotion and relegation makes them still dare not raise high expectations for the team after the carnival.

If Chen Yufeng hadn't won the European Cup Golden Boot and the Best Player in a row, and the team also signed a group of strong players, they would even be pessimistic about the team's future.

"Chen Yufeng! Come on! Let us win the cup again!"

"We have a top-notch striker in the Premier League, let's cheer for this team again!"

"Come on! Leicester City!"

"I really hope that Chen Yufeng can help the team win the cup as captain. Unfortunately, the opponent in this game looks really strong this season."

"Don't let the air leak. Even if we lose in the end, we must work hard until the last minute!"

"Keep charging! Blue Fox!"

"..."

Not long after, fans from both sides began to enter the stadium. The numbers were actually about the same, about [-].

Even if Leicester City fans are not so optimistic about the home team, they will definitely not do anything stupid. They still need the necessary support.

They bought all the tickets, took the train from Leicestershire to London, and waited early.

Everyone has an expectation deep in their hearts - what if, just like last season, we win another championship?

…………

Not long after, there was a pre-match press conference.

Mourinho and Ranieri sat directly together and accepted interviews and questions from reporters.

Of course, this was not something they asked for. It was only after being invited over by the organizer that they discovered that the other team's head coach had also just arrived.

Both of them have fallen into the trap, but whoever turns around and walks away at this time will embarrass his own team and damage the morale of the players in vain?
  "Mr. Mourinho, how is the team working together? During the preseason, I saw Manchester United win many games." A reporter quickly began to ask Mourinho questions.

"Of course we have top players, top coaches."

Mourinho still had his own style. He nodded and said: "It doesn't take much getting used to when good people stay with good people. Everyone can easily understand what I mean."

"What about Mr. Ranieri? The team has retained last season's winning team this season and has made some additions, but it seems that the investment is not large? Is this a hidden danger?" A reporter asked Ranieri again. .

"How far this team can go, I'm not sure yet."

Ranieri shook his head and said: "But in terms of hidden dangers, I don't think there are any, unless there are some force majeure factors, such as player injuries."

"Are you two confident about today's game? What kind of team do you think the opponent is?" A reporter directly started to ask questions, intending to provoke a confrontation between the two.

"We are confident that we can win every game, whether it's Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​or teams like Leicester City and West Ham."

Mourinho's answer seemed a bit profound. The madman really still has this kind of character. He directly put Leicester City and West Ham United together, saying that it was not a cause for concern.

He didn't confront him directly, but he still adhered to his old ways.

This in itself is his character and his coaching style.

He likes to create some confrontations to better divert the players' attention, find a focus, and rush in one direction together.

This is a good method he has found after years of trying.

"Manchester United is a good team, but we will try our best. I always tell the players to give it [-] percent and then see what happens. That's enough."

Of course, Ranieri was in his old ways and did not choose to be tough.

But it can be clearly felt that after winning the Premier League championship last season, there have been some changes in the volume and tone of his words.

Although there is no confrontation, it does not lose its edge.

The smell of gunpowder gradually filled this place. Ranieri did not make any eye contact or eye contact with Mourinho. The two were not even willing to look at each other from the corner of their eyes.

"We will continue to meet here after the game, in this way. Do you two have any objections?"

After asking a few questions at the end, a reporter made a suggestion.

They just want to say this right now so that neither of them can get down the stairs and have to agree even if they don't agree.

Sure enough, both of them pursed their lips and shook their heads, saying that they had no objections, and then left the press conference.

In this way, whoever loses after the game will be embarrassed.

At that time, it will definitely be a good opportunity to create a sense of topic and make headlines.

Just look at Ranieri and Mourinho, who will be luckier...
