12 month 5 number.

Christmas is approaching, and the whole UK has an atmosphere of approaching New Year. There are already Christmas trees for sale in supermarkets, and there are also many peripheral products on the streets.

Occasionally, you can meet people cosplaying as Santa Claus, playing with children on the street, and the overall atmosphere is joyful.

Leicester City also welcomed a visit to Swansea today.

Swansea is an important port city on the south coast of Wales and the capital of West Glamorgan County. It can be regarded as a large city.

However, the results of their football team here are very average.

Swansea, currently ranked fifth from the bottom in the league, will inevitably continue to fight for relegation this season.

In this case, facing Leicester City, which is gaining momentum and has just defeated the Red Devils and Manchester United, it is natural that they will lose more and win less.

Most outsiders have little hope for this team and regard them as cannon fodder.

In fact, even if many people have not noticed it themselves, or are unwilling to admit it, their views on Leicester City have changed dramatically.

Before the start of the season, Leicester City was even much less optimistic than Swansea...

But now, whenever you see these two teams play against each other in the Premier League, you will hardly be surprised by the result.

Perhaps, the only ones who can defeat Leicester City now are the big6, or some strong teams in the middle of the league!
This is a somewhat terrifying fact that makes everyone tremble and block it out, unwilling to mention it again!

There is even a terrifying argument in the British Peninsula.

In this atmosphere of the approaching New Year, if people meet a dejected person on the street who always looks bad.

He has at least a 20.00% chance. Before the season, he bet heavily on Leicester City's relegation and Ranieri's dismissal.

This is an exaggeration, but it has some basis.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the 15th round of the Premier League started on time.

The Liberty Stadium, which can accommodate 2 people, has an attendance rate of only 70.00% today, which is relatively bleak in the Premier League.

Obviously, Swansea fans are not optimistic about the result of this game, and they cannot bear to see this 'relegation team' beating their own team at their home court.

"Lester! Lester! Lester!"

Not long after the game started, Leicester City took the initiative on the court and suppressed Swansea to play.

Four to five thousand expedition fans even occupied the away game and turned it into their home court, with a very fierce momentum.

Due to the team's recent momentum, Ranieri boldly started to rotate in this game, putting Drinkwater and Chen Yufeng on the bench, whose physical condition has recently reached the limit.

Their replacements are Andy King and Albrighton, who are not weak in ability.

The entire team has a certain confidence to easily win Swansea in the away game, and then return to the main battlefield to continue the battle with the big6!

This is a kind of mentality, confidence accumulated in every game!
There were no big surprises in this game.

In the 7th minute of the game, after Mahrez received a direct pass from Kante in the ribs, the entire Swansea defense line was directly penetrated.

What Mahrez has to do is simple, shake away the opponent's central defender and push into the blind corner.

One to zero!

Leicester City took the lead comfortably, with Mahrez acting as the corkscrew.

In the following games, Swansea's defense was like a funnel, frequently giving opportunities.

Not long after, Andy King scored a goal from the penalty spot, and Mahrez scored twice from the penalty spot at the beginning of the second half.

Three to zero!
Leicester City seals the victory!

At the 70th minute of game No. [-], Chen Yufeng stood on the sidelines, waiting to play.

It seems that Ranieri wants him to play for a while to maintain his condition so that he can perform well against Chelsea in the next game.

"come on!"

"must."

Immediately, Chen Yufeng, who was high-fiving Albrighton, jogged onto the right side of the pitch.

Mahrez switched from the right to the left again, completing the position change with Chen Yufeng.

"Kante, pass one to me."

It's been a long time since I felt so energetic in the 10th minute of the game. Chen Yufeng seemed to be in a good mood. After coming on the court, he shouted jokingly at Kanter.

"Think beautifully."

Kanter smiled and continued to perform his marking tasks in the middle.

Chen Yufeng stood on the left, occasionally participating in the team's defense, waiting for opportunities.

Seven goals...

If he can score another goal in this game, he can open another skill treasure chest before the next game, greatly increasing his threat level.

This is very crucial. If he can have one more skill, he can ensure that he has one more sharp sword that can penetrate the opponent's vital position when necessary.

Therefore, Chen Yufeng played very actively after coming on the field today.

Game No.704 minutes.

Leicester City started their push through the middle.

"Bang bang!"

Kanter brought the ball in at high speed. After seeing Shinji Oka who was returning the ball, he completed a simple one-two with him and reached the left rib position.

"Valdy!"

Don't look at Kante's usually silly appearance, but he is very ghostly on the court. After calling Vardy, he passed the ball to Mahrez's feet.

This time, he deceived Swansea's defense and allowed Mahrez to get a very good crossing position.

"Oh!"

He then sent a cross towards Vardy.

The ball landed a bit forward, making it difficult to attack the goal. Vardy had no choice but to rub the ball back.

"Behind!"

The football flew towards the back point, and Swansea's defender suddenly panicked.

Such is the threat posed by the legitimacy of Vardy's play.

He did not look back to observe, but he knew that if he stepped back at this time, he would most likely create a threat!
Sure enough, Chen Yufeng quickly appeared in the back position and blasted the ball towards the goal with a kick.

"Oh!"

"Bang!" Two sounds sounded in succession. The first one was Chen Yufeng's foot kicking the football.

In the second pass, the Swansea goalkeeper made an incredible save and pushed the ball over the crossbar first.

"call……"

Swansea's defenders breathed a sigh of relief and thankfully the goalkeeper came to their rescue.

"Ah..." Chen Yufeng covered his face, feeling very regretful, and waved his hand towards Vardy.

This was one of the few good opportunities he usually had to score goals in sports matches, but it was a pity that he failed to seize it.

This is the case on the football field. It is possible that you will hit all kinds of fairy balls, but miss the perfect opportunity in this close-range grab.

"Shouldn't you thank me? Or apologize for my cross."

Mahrez on the outside spread his hands and shouted towards Chen Yufeng.

"Unless you give me an assist."

Chen Yufeng replied to him while walking towards the corner flag area.

"cut."

Mahrez rolled his eyes.

"Bang!" Chen Yufeng's corner kick was taken immediately, and was cleared out of the penalty area by a Swansea player in the middle.

But this attack was not over. Andy Jin kicked the football high into the penalty area and continued to suppress the opponent's defense.

"I come!"

As Swansea's Icelandic midfielder Sigurdsson jumped high again and cleared the ball, the entire Swansea defense line pressed towards the outside of the penalty area.

They can no longer sit back and stay here. They must improve their defense. Otherwise, if they keep pressing, they will lose the ball again.

This round of offense ended, and Leicester City did not get a good chance to score in the next ten minutes or so.

This also made Chen Yufeng, who was on the right wing, frustrated. It might be difficult to open the treasure chest in this game.

He can only rely on the abilities and characteristics he currently possesses to collide with Mourinho, the master of space cutting.

Game No.809 minutes.

Leicester City goalkeeper Schmeichel made a big kick and kicked the ball to the left side of the frontcourt.

Mahrez did not panic when he was double-teamed. He stopped the ball at the bottom of his feet very freely and passed it to Andy King who was in charge.

Andy King saw Vardy in the penalty area and took a tentative curve ball, but was cleared by the Swansea defender again.

Weak teams have good air defense. This is almost a rule of the Premier League.

"Press it out!"

After clearing away the football, the Swansea players immediately repeated their old tricks, trying to relieve the pressure on the defense and press forward.

Unexpectedly, a Leicester City player wearing a white away jersey suddenly appeared where the football landed.

It was Chen Yufeng. He suddenly shot diagonally from the wing and controlled the football.

Looking at the football still in the air, Chen Yufeng really wanted a long-range volley, but now he could only watch.

"do not care."

Seeing the Korean midfielder Ki Sung-yong of Swansea getting closer, Chen Yufeng was heartbroken, lowered his right leg and exerted force, and volleyed the ball out.

"Bang!!"

A violent sound penetrated the entire field, and Chen Yufeng's eyes followed the football again.

Along the way, he saw Sigurdsson trying to block, Ki Sung-yong with his eyes dodging, and the football flying towards the right side of the goal at high speed.

Murphy's law, the more you fear something, the more it will come...

"Oh!"

Another violent sound sounded next, not the sound of the goalkeeper making a save, but the sound of the football hitting the defensive player.

The football hit the outside of Qi Chengyong's knee, suddenly changed direction, and flew towards the left side of the goal.

"Have it!"

Chen Yufeng felt happy and looked forward to it on his face.

"Whoa!" The subsequent sound of hitting the net did not surprise him. After the refraction, the Swansea goalkeeper was completely unable to do anything about the ball.

After the football bounced off the ground, it slipped into the lower left corner of the net.

"Oh……!"

Chen Yufeng couldn't help laughing and rushed to the sidelines, slid to his knees and punched the Leicester City fans repeatedly.

It was a dramatic goal, a somewhat lucky goal.

But no matter what, the ball was scored!

The treasure chest is there!

This kind of reflection with a strong desire to shoot will generally be counted as an offensive player, not an own goal by the defensive player.

"Yeahhhh..." Bathed in the shouts of the Leicester City Expeditionary Force, Chen Yufeng stood up and raised his hands high, which was very useful.

It was probably one of the easiest goals he's ever scored...

This feeling is so refreshing.

"You bastard, let me hide you again." Mahrez covered his face.

"What are you talking about? You can get in even if you don't bother."

Of course Chen Yufeng was not convinced and turned around to argue.

Anyway, if he got in, even if he was aiming for Qi Chengyong's knee, everything was calculated, so there would be no problem.

But that would inevitably be a bit shameless.

"Beep! Beep! Beep—!"

Swansea's counterattack in the final stage had no effect. The referee's whistle sounded shortly after, and Leicester City finally escaped with a big victory!

Four goals!

This is definitely a big victory!
Leicester City still maintains a high level of stability when facing weak teams!
Swansea, on the other hand, swallowed four goals at home and suffered a disastrous defeat.

Others don't know, but Qi Chengyong will definitely be hung up on the Korean Net for a few days because of this goal that made Chen Yufeng successful.
