Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 36 Heartbroken Pochettino (please follow up)
The Leicesterian revelry continues.

On the other side, Tottenham's life is not so easy.

All the players who had just participated in the defense in the Tottenham penalty area looked at the backs of the blue jerseys running to the sidelines and lowered their heads with some remorse.

Especially Alderweireld. The central defender was looking at Chen Yufeng's back with the expression on his face constantly changing.

Is this damn player still the same as before, who has been playing the frontcourt role in training matches and often has no performance in the whole game?
How long has it been since then? How could it be possible to develop such a sharp cross?
Alderweireld feels like the world has gone sideways.

If I remember correctly, Chen Yufeng should be around thirty, right?
If you want to say that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old player has developed a new skill after not seeing him for a while, then he can barely believe it.

Why are you still improving at the age of 30?

Reverse growth?

His mentality was a little broken, and he turned to look at Vertonghen next to him, and saw a somewhat puzzled look in the latter's eyes.

The two of them didn't exchange much, and walked towards the front court together with their heads lowered.

The kick was missed. Both of them were war criminals. Don't think too much, just try to see if there would be a chance to atone for their crimes.

Not far in front of them, Sun Xingmin noticed this Asian-faced player for the first time.

For him, he had never seen Chen Yufeng before he had just joined the team.

However, he did hear a lot of gossip after joining the team, and his first impression of this player was similar to other Tottenham players.

It seems to be an older person who has persisted for more than ten years...

But he is still a tragic player who has not achieved any success.

At that time, Son Heung-min also felt a little regretful. After all, we are both Asians, so he must have felt the same way.

He also thought that if his father, Sun Xiongzheng, had not trained him like a devil since childhood, he might have followed Chen Yufeng's path...

It wasn't until two days ago when he heard Pochettino coming to emphasize the threat of this player that he had a slight change.

When I saw him today, it was exactly what Pochettino said.

Sun Xingmin couldn't help but feel a little prejudice against other teammates. In his opinion, these people clearly did not realize the Asian's strength and instilled in him a wrong perception.

If others knew what he was thinking...

It's hard to say anything else. The two war criminals Alderweireld and Vertonghen just now will definitely scold their mothers when they feel wronged.

The game quickly restarted, and Spurs increased their offensive pace in the frontcourt, hoping to equalize the score before the end of the first half.

"Beep--!"

However, facing Leicester City's steel defense, they still found no way to break the game in a short period of time. However, they heard the referee blow the whistle for half-time of the game not long after.

Tottenham's players walked off the field with dark faces and could only enter the midfield with a lagging score.

This is the third time they have felt this way since the start of the season. They are really powerless...

Obviously they themselves know that the team's lineup is very good, and the players in each position have very good personal abilities, including head coach Pochettino, whose coaching level is also very good.

But once on the field, it’s easy to make mistakes and chaos.

side of the field.

Ranieri walked towards Pochettino, shook hands with Pochettino, and then walked towards the dressing room together.

During the process, Ranieri seemed to notice that Pochettino's face was not as dark as usual.

At first, Ranieri didn't think about the reason until the moment he saw Chen Yufeng.

Oh……

Ranieri couldn't help but smile a little, and walked toward the locker room with a smile on his face.

Not long after, in the Tottenham Hotspur dressing room.Pochettino suppressed his unhappiness and told the players in front of the tactical board about the problems in the first half and how to solve them.

Then, he went out at the speed of light, stood in a deserted corner and smoked a cigarette.

He was very depressed. All kinds of things were piled up on him, making him a little breathless.

The assistant coach quickly walked over from the side, seeming a little worried about his mental state.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Pochettino, these are only the first three games. Even if we can't win, there are still 35 rounds to go."

The assistant coach also took out a cigarette, with a shocked expression on his face, "But what I didn't expect is that the Chinese has really good footwork."

"Leicester City's counterattack is very fierce, and it often happens that the opponent is defeated by the opponent."

"Now coupled with this Chinese cross, I have more offensive methods. I may be more efficient in the league and score goals faster in the game."

"Often, when faced with this kind of counterattacking team, we just can't let him score the first goal, otherwise they will be very comfortable in subsequent games."

"Ranieri's team will probably have no worries about relegation this season."

He didn't seem to be in a good mood either.

He is not the coaching team brought over by Pochettino, but has been at Tottenham a long time ago.

After Bo Fatty came, he did not fire him, but kept him as a guide for technical and tactical training.

Over the past few years, his feelings for this club have become very deep. No matter from any aspect, he does not want to see this club lose several rounds.

Including, today, when he saw the once inconspicuous Chinese player assisting Mahrez to score their goal with a precise pass, his mood seemed even more wrong.

Does he feel like everyone is targeting Tottenham?
Why was there a player who couldn't play any position at Tottenham and couldn't show any characteristics at all?

Went to Leicester City and suddenly took off?
"Ugh……"

Pochettino blew out the smoke, shook his head and said: "You think it would have been better if we had kept him..."

"Not only will this goal not happen, but we will also have multiple attackers in the frontcourt."

"Who knew what happened at that time? No one could have imagined what he would be like today." The assistant coach also sighed, then paused and spoke again.

"It's okay now. If this player can still perform like this in the next game, he may even play better."

"I can't even imagine what our fans are going to say about us."

"Including today, Tottenham fans after the game will definitely talk about this. He has already produced statistics."

Hearing his words, Pochettino sighed again and said with depression: "If the quality of this kind of ball is too high, it is really impossible to defend."

"On the football field, things are changing rapidly, and there are many times when you look at one thing and miss the other. It is impossible to say that if you have taken precautions, you will definitely be able to prevent it."

"I can only say that his pass was really good." the assistant coach added.

Both of them were smoking and feeling a little depressed.

Especially Pochettino, seeing the players he fired working for his team after they came back, the more he thought about it, the more he felt a heartbreaking pain.

Soon, the second half of the game began. Players and coaching staff from both sides walked onto the court and began the second half of the competition.

While Pochettino was looking forward to the team scoring a quick goal to equalize the score, he often glanced at Chen Yufeng from the corner of his eye.

He really didn't want that player to perform any more.

Even though their previous relationship was pretty good...

　Asking for all kinds of data!
