Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 52: The magnificent Emirates Stadium, facing the Gunners Arsenal (please follow up)
In the next few days, in addition to working hard to improve his physical fitness, Chen Yufeng also tried more outside-instep shooting methods in training.

After acquiring the skill of Quaresma's outside instep arc, he can clearly feel the proficiency brought by some moments and the comfortable texture of touching the ball.

Just like when you get to that position, turn your body sideways and try rubbing your right foot like that!
Generally speaking, after experiencing it in actual combat on the training ground, Chen Yufeng increasingly feels that this is a good ability.

This gives him more options on the inside, making him even more elusive!
Otherwise, if there is only one cross, in the tough positional battle attack, the defensive players will still be relatively easy to defend.

Leicester City's players have also clearly noticed Chen Yufeng's changes in the past few days. Many people have chatted with Chen Yufeng about personal training.

They felt as if Chen Yufeng suddenly realized something at the age of 30 and mastered a shortcut way to train stunts.

Otherwise, why would I not see you after a while? It seems like there is something extra?
In this regard, Chen Yufeng's answer is always that he may be relatively mature and his talent only becomes apparent at the age of 30.

He also taught Chinese, a late bloomer in English, to his Leicester City teammates and let them use it on themselves, which was a kind of ridicule to himself.

After Chen Yufeng showed his ability to cut inside, Ranieri finally couldn't sit still.

In the last team training match before the Premier League game, Ranieri asked Chen Yufeng to return to the right midfielder position.

"Try it. If you can cut inside in actual combat, you can play on the right in the next game."

This is what Ranieri said to Chen Yufeng before taking the field. Of course, he had his own tactical considerations in this.

Arsenal's two full-backs, Bellerin and Monreal, are actually assist-oriented full-backs. They will attack with high-speed back cover many times during the game.

Among them, Bellerin's offensive attributes will be stronger. He will hit the opponent many times during the game, and then use the speed he is proud of to chase back.

Monreal was a little more calm, just waiting for the opportunity.

The defensive position corresponding to Bellerin is the position of the left midfielder.

Ranieri can completely consider inserting Mahrez to this wing, allowing this threat point to put pressure on Arsenal, restrict Bellerin's running, and prevent him from daring to intervene recklessly.

The team training match started soon.

Chen Yufeng became active on the right, and at first he was still threatening the goal with his arcing crosses.

After giving the opposing full-back Schlupp a habit of defending from the outside, in the 30th minute of the game, Chen Yufeng suddenly headed inside quickly.

After improving his dribbling, coupled with the speed and burst of about [-] points, Chen Yufeng's inside cuts did not appear to be stumbling.

When they came to the penalty area, the defensive players saw Chen Yufeng's body turn and roughly knew what he was going to do.

But it was too late now, they had no way to stop it.

This kind of arc shot from the outside of the instep has a very large shooting angle and is difficult to block.

"Oh!"

There was a muffled sound, and Chen Yufeng used the instep of his outside foot to lift the ball coolly, and the football flew toward the goal in a sharp arc.

Schmeichel's reaction was quick, or he had predicted it, and he swooped towards the far corner.

But the arc of the football is too big, and his slightly short body is still half a foot short even when stretched to the extreme.

"Shh!"

There was a sound of net wiping, and Chen Yufeng's sharp shot entered the net, turned a few times along the side net, and fell into the net!
Most people on the court were stunned. It is difficult to shoot with the outside of the instep. Many Premier League shooters cannot complete high-quality shots with the outside of the instep.

Especially in a high-tempo confrontation environment, even if Vardy and Mahrez ask themselves, they cannot produce this kind of quality!
"This old guy is really weird. I thought he was just kicking for fun in shooting training, but he can also kick it in the game." Mahrez said sourly from the side.

He looked at Vardy next to him and found that Vardy had a sad face, as if he was jealous and amazed.

"1000 euros."

Steve Walsh, who was on the sidelines, patted Ranieri on the shoulder and turned away, "If he were a few years younger..."

Ranieri nodded slightly without any objection. …………

9.26, North London.

The Leicester City bus drove slowly towards the Emirates Stadium, and on the bus sat the Leicester City general who had come from afar.

As the train slowly approached the Emirates Stadium, one of the most magnificent professional stadiums in the UK appeared in front of everyone.

In the bus, Chen Yufeng looked at the Emirates Stadium, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Any football player hopes that he can play in a larger and more magnificent arena, which represents a feeling of enjoyment and the release of a sense of accomplishment.

Since its opening in 06, this stadium has passed through countless legends, and Wenger has also transformed from an energetic young coach to a veteran coach.

This is a very historical stadium, representing the small stage of glory achieved by Arsenal during that period, and also witnessing Wenger's devotion to this club.

"When you arrive at the venue later, quickly change your equipment and warm up. The specific tactics have been explained. Play hard and don't feel pressured."

Seeing that they were about to enter the Emirates Stadium, Ranieri stood up and said to the players: "Arsenal is an excellent club. They have speed, technology, confrontation, and a top coach."

"I hope we can show our style in this game and see our hard-working self, okay?"

There was a burst of response in the bus, and every player was enthusiastic.

Soon, as the players entered the locker room inside the stadium, changed their equipment and warmed up, all the starting players made final preparations and walked towards the tunnel!

The war is about to begin!
"call……"

Chen Yufeng still used deep breathing to adjust his breathing, and he walked step by step towards the end of the players' tunnel.

On the walls on both sides, he still saw many legendary stars from Arsenal's past.

Bergkamp, ​​Henry, Van Persie, Cesc Fabregas...etc. are the top achievements that symbolize this club's glorious past!

They dedicated their youth here and left the best memories!
Going further, he saw a number of Arsenal's current famous players.

Giroud, Sanchez, Arteta, Ramsey, Koscielny, helmet man Cech, winger Bellerin!
These are all first-line stars with extremely high reputations in today's world football!
Taking another deep breath, Chen Yufeng walked forward, took the caddy's hand, and soon followed everyone into the Emirates Stadium.

"Ohhhhhh..." The overwhelming cheers could be heard clearly. The magnificent stadium instantly appeared in front of Chen Yufeng's eyes, and even the air was a bit hot.

Being here, you can't help but feel the adrenaline rush.

Looking around, the Emirates Stadium, which can accommodate more than 6 people, today at least 3000 home fans poured into the stadium, dyeing the place into a sea of ​​red and white.

Thousands of expedition fans wearing Leicester City's blue jerseys appeared in the east stand of the game, waving flags and cheering for them.

Chen Yufeng turned around and quickly caught the legendary figure with his eyes.

It was Wenger, one of his favorite and most admired coaches.

At this time, Wenger's face had already shown some vicissitudes of life, and he often frowned, losing the vitality of the day.

As if seeing someone paying attention to him, Wenger quickly turned his eyes and looked at Chen Yufeng.

There was some surprise in his eyes, but he turned around and walked to the sidelines to shake hands and hug Ranieri, saying a few polite words.

"Beep!"

At 02:30 in the afternoon, under the roar of the fans, the seventh round of the Premier League officially started!
Leicester City challenges Arsenal away from home, their strongest opponent so far!
