Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 268: Selfless Vardy, the oldest hat-taker (please vote for me)

"Vardy? What is this for?"

Near the commentator's seat, Zhu Xiaoyu's voice sounded a little surprised, and he didn't seem to react at first.

But then, he understood what Vardy meant, "Are you going to give up the penalty kick to help Chen Yufeng complete a hat trick?!"

"This is really so selfless. Before this scene happened, I simply couldn't imagine that a player who was also making his debut in the Champions League would give up a penalty kick that he should have taken!"

"You have to know that Vardy has not scored in the Champions League. This is a good opportunity to score the first goal in the Champions League!"

"Before this, what people talked about more was that players who were about to complete a hat trick would give up penalty kicks, allowing teammates who were not in good shape to find their feet to score goals."

"This selfless story is completely reversed today. Vardy seems to be going all out to help Chen Yufeng complete the third hat-trick of his career."

"This is a heartwarming scene, a scene that deepens Vardy's impression in people's minds. He has a dark history, but now we can only see his warmth towards his teammates."

"..."

At the scene of the incident, Chen Yufeng was also stunned when he saw Vardy's actions.

After reacting, he came to Vardy's side, stared into Vardy's eyes and said, "Are you sure? There may be only one such opportunity in this game."

"As long as you can give me assists in the future, I still like the beauty of adulthood." Vardy smiled and threw the football directly towards Chen Yufeng.

Chen Yufeng took the football, and his expression suddenly became heavy. He patted Vardy on the shoulder, and then without any shirk, he carried the football to the penalty spot.

There is no doubt that even if he is the coldest person, he will be moved by the scene in front of him.

Not to mention, Chen Yufeng is a warm and emotional person.

He took note of this and vowed to return the favor in the future.

Now, just score this penalty and don't let Vardy's good intentions go in vain.

"Beep!"

When the referee's whistle blew, Chen Yufeng left a three-step mid-range run-up space and took one last look at the goalkeeper.

When he was observing the goalkeeper, goalkeeper Bittler was also observing him.

For the goalkeeper, this kind of close-range shot must be saved with anticipation, otherwise he will never be able to stop the opponent's blind corner kick.

They usually make judgments based on the body position and eyes of the player who takes the free throw. Those who are more prepared may even investigate the data to see which way this player likes to take free throws in the past.

After seeing that Chen Yufeng's body was facing toward his right hand, but his eyes were looking to his left, Bitler made a judgment. He felt that Chen Yufeng was deliberately deceiving with his eyes, but in fact he was preparing to punish his right side.

"call……"

Seeing that Chen Yufeng had already started to run up, Bitler decided to make a fake move to the left when he took the free throw, and then went to the right to save.

"Oh!"

Chen Yufeng's shot was fired quickly, and Bitler reacted quickly and flew towards his right, his body rising directly into the air.

Then, he saw the football rolling straight into the middle along the turf.

This is a shot with no angle, no power, nothing.

Even a three-year-old child standing in front of the goal might be able to save it.

However, due to the mental game between the two parties, Bitler made a pre-judged move, so he was directly fooled by Chen Yufeng!

"Uh-huh." The football touched the net lightly, not very loud, but of great significance.

Four to zero!

Chen Yufeng completed a hat trick!

Scored three goals in his Champions League debut!

"Yeahhhhhhh...!" Leicester City fans in the entire stadium sent blessings to Chen Yufeng and celebrated the goal with him.

Chen Yufeng finally didn't forget it this time. He ran to the side of the court and put his hands together on his chest, making an apologetic gesture toward the visiting team's north stand.

Bruges fans watched this scene and stood up one after another with complicated expressions, and finally applauded Chen Yufeng.

"Clap clap clap clap..."

Sparse clapping and loud cheers were mixed together. This may be the first famous scene in the Champions League this season.

"Kacha kacha!!" The reporters on the sidelines took pictures frantically. At this time, the scene was a sea of ​​flames and sea water, with passion and tenderness mixed together, but both emotions were caused by Chen Yufeng.

"The ball went in! Chen Yufeng hit the ball towards the center! He deceived Bruges goalkeeper Bitler and scored the penalty!"

In the CCTV commentary seat, Zhu Xiaoyu stood up from his seat excitedly, "Four to zero! Leicester City's Champions League debut is brilliant!"

"Chen Yufeng completed the third hat trick of his career. So far, he has scored his first hat trick in the Premier League, European Cup, and Champions League!"

"What an amazing statistical performance. I think everyone can check now to see if this is the oldest hat trick in the history of the Champions League!"

"I think he is, because in the past, when Cristiano Ronaldo completed his hat-trick, he was no older than Chen Yufeng now."

"This is a somewhat special record, and it is likely to be broken by others in the future, but for now, it seems that Chen Yufeng will firmly occupy the top spot as the oldest person."

At the end, there was a smile on Zhu Xiaoyu's expression. He had already seen that someone had investigated the barrage and found that this record was indeed taken by Chen Yufeng.

In the barrage at this time, Chinese fans were congratulating Chen Yufeng one after another.

"The oldest record is not a record?! Applause!"

"Since he can't win the Golden Boy Award, then Chen Yufeng will attack for the Golden Foot Award! This is also an honorary award. It is only awarded to veterans in their thirties, and each person can only win it once!"       "Chen Yufeng is awesome! Hat trick! Hahaha, so hearty!"

"Three goals in a single game. According to this calculation, there are exactly 3 goals in the six games of the group stage. Counting the home and away games separately in the knockout rounds, there will be 18 games in the finals, which means there are still 7 goals. So Chen Yufeng should be able to score. 21."

"Yes, yes, it's still 50 goals after rounding up!"

"Hahahaha, don't be kidding me! A total of 6 and 7 goals were scored in this tournament, which is pretty awesome."

"..."

At the King Power Stadium, Vardy slowly walked towards Chen Yufeng after seeing the goal.

He pointed at Chen Yufeng with his right hand, with a look of joy and expectation on his face, "Are you going to give me assists now? Are you going to pass a few balls to me?"

"At least three." Chen Yufeng smiled and high-fived Vardy, thanking him for his concession.

As for the three he mentioned, they are actually not a joke at all, he will really fight for them.

With such a good teammate, what reason would he have not to give everything in to fight?

Mahrez Klose and others also quickly ran up and celebrated with Chen Yufeng for a big victory. Everyone looked very excited.

On the sidelines of the court, Ranieri smiled and high-fived the assistant coaches, and then began to make arrangements, "Chilwell, Odegaard, Albrighton, warm up."

Seeing Chen Yufeng complete a hat trick so early, he has nothing to worry about and doesn't have to worry about the players being unhappy.

Hurry up and get ready for the upcoming Premier League season.

After this game, just two days later, the fifth round of the Premier League will come, and Leicester City will face Burnley at home.

In the 62nd minute of the game, the substitute players finished warming up and stood on the sidelines of the court.

Leicester City made three substitutions in a row, Danny Simpson, Drinkwater, and Chen Yufeng all went off.

"come on! Come on!"

After a few words of encouragement to each other, they completed the replacement and re-entered the competition.

Chen Yufeng wiped the sweat from his forehead. When he came to the side of the court, he took a drink of water and then sat down with Ranieri.

"Nice day, Yufeng." Ranieri turned to look at Chen Yufeng and said with a smile.

Today, after such a long time, Chen Yufeng is no longer the same person as before.

Maybe it wasn't the case a long time ago, but Chen Yufeng still refreshes people's understanding of him every once in a while, and he slowly has more titles.

"Of course." Chen Yufeng shrugged without denying it.

"Come on, if we keep this up, maybe we can win a lot."

Ranieri's expression was a bit heavy. After today's big victory, he really started to look forward to something.

Leicester City did not reveal any feeling of discomfort when facing giant teams from other countries.

On the contrary, every player plays very confidently, and they also believe that as long as they do their usual skills and tactics well, they can win.

"Everyone wants more, let's work hard together, Mr. Ranieri." Chen Yufeng and Mr. Ranieri high-fived again, and then watched the performance of the players on the court.

Especially the two people who have just been replaced, Odegaard and Chilwell.

These are young players with great potential. Chen Yufeng hopes that they can slowly find the feeling of playing in the Champions League and contribute to the team in future Champions League games!

They represent hope!

"Oh!"

The time came to the 84th minute of the game. When Odegaard passed the ball to Vardy, the latter easily broke away from the defense and reached the center of the penalty area. He blasted the football into the net with a blast.

Five to zero!

Vardy rewrites the score for Leicester City again!

Odegaard also ushered in his relatively perfect Champions League debut, which will be a great boost to his confidence!

The fans at the scene were excited again. Odegaard and Vardy hugged each other excitedly and even rushed towards the coaching seat on the sidelines.

After seeing this scene, Chen Yufeng also ran forward and hugged the two people.

"Now that I'm leaving it to you, I don't feel bad at all!" Vardy looked at Chen Yufeng and said excitedly.

"It's too early, captain, otherwise I would have given you an assist!" Odegaard followed Vardy, his green face full of smiles, and his cheeks turned rosy.

"It's okay, there's still plenty of time ahead."

Chen Yufeng waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to go back to the court quickly.

The final minutes of the game were relatively uneventful. Players from both sides passed a series of safety balls to each other and made a few tentative attacks before hearing the whistle that ended the game.

"Beep! Beep! Beep--!"

As the referee blew three long whistles, the Leicester City players suddenly raised their arms and shouted, falling into a sea of ​​celebration again.

At the last moment, Chen Yufeng led everyone to the Leicester City fan area and stood in a row to say goodbye.

The fans did not hesitate in their cheers and once again shouted hoarse for them.

Today is a perfect day.

Leicester City's Champions League debut ended in such an atmosphere.
