Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 96 Martinez: Everyone must die!

Time passes like this day by day, Christmas is getting closer, and the Premier League half-time champion will be officially announced at the end of the month.

It seems that the festival is approaching and half of the season is about to pass, leaving everyone with some time to breathe.

But as we all know, the Premier League does not have a winter break. After the last game of the first half is played at the end of December, the competition for the second half will start again in early January.

With two domestic cup competitions interfering with the schedule and various competitions abroad, the annual Premier League schedule is still relatively tight.

The players who stay here can only wait for the summer offseason, and most of them don't even have time to spend Christmas.

12 month 17 day.

Phillip finally took time out and came to Chen Yufeng's training ground.

Still so helpless, still drinking beer.

"My mentor and I searched all night long, but we still couldn't find any precedent for your physique."

When Philip came this time, he was already prepared for a long-term war. "I agreed with him and followed you to conduct observations. Over a few years, I summarized each case and recorded it in the library."

"Because we have discovered that your body changes seem to have a cyclical pattern that you can look for."

"Perhaps, after taking a long-term view, we will get some rules, which will be beneficial to other subsequent research."

"Yes." Chen Yufeng nodded slightly, pursed his lips and said, "Then I can only wish you good luck."

"By the way, you've been doing well lately. I've seen news about you on the Internet several times."

Philip put the matter aside for the time being, patted Chen Yufeng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you keep playing like this and become the assist leader or something, you will be really famous."

Chen Yufeng ignored him and was still doing some physical coordination training.

"Aren't you ready to find a companion? You are not young anymore."

Phillip walked over and smiled evilly again.

"Is this kind of advice like the advice a physical trainer gives to his clients?" Chen Yufeng raised his head and glanced at Philip, "Shouldn't you expect me to use all my physical fitness on the court?"

"Sometimes life needs an adjustment." Phillip took a sip of beer and raised his eyebrows at Chen Yufeng.

"Okay, let's finish this season first and then think about this kind of problem."

Chen Yufeng smiled and said nothing more.

Over the years, of course, he had dated several girlfriends, but in the end they didn't continue due to various reasons.

In recent times, especially after the start of this season, everything has changed, and he no longer has time to focus on these things.

At least, rely on this ability to become a superstar first and have your own place on the world's football stage.

Only then will he consider these things.

As a man, you should first establish a career and then start a family.

Unless you encounter something that is top-notch in every aspect.

…………

12 month 19 day.

Chen Yufeng followed the bus to the northwest, Liverpool.

Before challenging the city's giants, they first competed with local second-choice Everton.

This team is currently led by Martinez and has a satisfactory record, ranking No. 8 in the Premier League.

Facing Leicester City, who came here with a winning streak, Martinez certainly wanted to destroy this prestige at home and accomplish what even the giants could not accomplish.

Just imagine if this Leicester City were defeated by Everton...

Doesn't this prove that his ability to lead the team is better than those big6 coaches?
Even in his sleep, Martinez seemed to feel that this was a good opportunity given to him by God, a chance to prove himself.

Everton definitely has a lineup that is not weaker than Leicester City. Unlike a weak team, it is completely unable to provide good technical and tactical organization and coordination, and there is no explosive spot in the frontcourt.

At the same time, this team is definitely not a wealthy team and will not give the outside world high expectations.

Martinez is already fantasizing about his handsome photo in the suit in the post-game press.

At 02:30 in the afternoon, the nearly [-] seats at Goodison Park were packed, [-]% of which were Everton fans.

Martinez, surrounded by cheers, stood on the sidelines very passionately at first and gave on-the-spot command.

"That's it! Beautiful!"

"Move, find the other side! Lukaku, ribs!"

"It doesn't matter, it's already working, we're doing great!"

"..."

With his encouragement, it was indeed Everton who was in good form today who scored the first goal.

In the 207th minute of the game, Everton midfielder Barkley saw a hidden gap.

The subsequent through ball penetrated the unsteady Leicester City defense and passed directly in front of Lukaku.

At this time, Lukaku was not the happy boy he would become later.

Faced with a one-on-one opportunity, he very steadily blocked Huth behind him and volleyed towards the far corner of the goal!
"Shh!"

Schmeichel, who was too close, had no choice but to block the ball and could only watch the football go into the net.

The Goodison Park stadium suddenly burst into flames. Martinez on the sidelines jumped up high, clenched his right fist and waved it to the sky.

"Very good, bite them! Don't relax, we still need more goals and more solid defense!"

He stood on the sidelines of the court high-spiritedly, reminding his players in advance, thinking that this would definitely stabilize the team.

"Beep!"

But not long after, as Everton midfielder Mori failed to stop Mahrez and kicked him down in the penalty area, the referee immediately issued a yellow dot package.

"Whoa!" Mahrez stood on the penalty spot this time and hit the ball into the net without any suspense, equalizing the score.Leicester City are not just good at playing the kind of ball that goes against the wind, they are also good at playing against the wind.

Once upon a time, this was how they regained their confidence and cohesion every game.

"what……"

Everton coach Martinez threw his hands away regretfully and walked up and down the sidelines, continuing to express his emotions.

His desire to perform seemed very strong today.

"Tighten the defense and don't leave any space in front of the central defender and midfielder for him to receive the ball, okay?!"

"Stones, be tough and don't let Vardy pass you!"

Soon, with another burst of passionate on-the-spot command from him, halftime came and the two sides returned to the locker room to rest.

During half-time, staff members continued to pass by the door of the Everton dressing room.

They could all hear Martinez's impassioned speech inside, as if he was making a declaration, emotionally encouraging the team members.

If they lose this game, it is really difficult for them to imagine Martinez's state.

The game resumed in the second half.

Everton's tactical style is similar to Leicester City in some aspects, but there are too few explosive points in the frontcourt and too little ability to create absolute opportunities.

It's different on Leicester City's side. Mahrez moves east and west on the left side, and from time to time he will sink his shoulders and lie down for a few steps with you.

That was really not easy for the Everton defender to deal with, which made the entire left wing panic.

Chen Yufeng on the right is obviously not a good player. His goal highlights are posted on British social media every day. These Everton players certainly know his abilities.

Today, the residual power of the three goals scored in the last game is still there. Everton showed full respect when defending Chen Yufeng.

Their full midfielder Arunakone obviously didn't dare to press too high today. As soon as Chen Yufeng had a chance to get the ball, he came over to target him.

This defense is actually successful. As far as Chen Yufeng is concerned, his ability has not yet reached the point where he can easily cope with the pursuit and interception of many people.

As the space becomes smaller, the threat level will definitely be reduced, and there will be fewer opportunities for him to have a flash of inspiration.

However, the current Leicester City team has too many core points.

Martinez paid great attention to the defense of the wings in this game, which led to the obvious difference in the number of people in the middle.

Game No.60 for two minutes.

Kirishin Oka, the Japanese forward, received a pass from Mahrez and kicked the ball into the dead center of the goal, scoring his fourth goal of the season!

Two to one!

Leicester City takes the lead again!

"Half of Yufeng-kun's Premier League goals have been caught up, hahaha."

After scoring, Kirishin Oka rushed towards Chen Yufeng and Mahrez, and the three of them celebrated together in the Leicester City Expedition fan area.

Martinez on the sidelines was obviously a little panicked and began to make substitutions one after another.

Miralas and Lennon went into battle one after another, carrying the task of attacking.

Martinez's last-ditch effort did not show obvious results. After the two of them came on the field, they still felt a little confused.

The pressure of Mahrez and Chen Yufeng was too great, which forced the players in the midfield and backfield to tilt their focus towards the wings, while also having to pay attention to Vardy in the center at all times.

In this case, as their physical energy is consumed, their attack power gradually becomes weaker and weaker.

"Grab him, rob him!"

"Don't be afraid, you can believe in yourself, you are fully capable of defeating this team!"

"Keep your head up, cheer up, and run towards the goal!"

Martinez didn't give up yet. He shouted passionately from the sidelines of the court and kept applauding.

He wants to win so badly.

"Oh!"

At this time, Leicester City defender Huth suddenly sent a penetrating long pass in the backcourt and landed in front of Vardy.

Vardy stepped in at high speed, and Everton Howard's goalkeeper had no choice but to abandon the goal and shovel towards the bottom of the football.

The football quickly formed a parabola, flew over Vardy's head and floated towards the back.

"Vardy, get out of the way!"

A familiar voice sounded, and Vardy subconsciously shrank his neck and twisted his body to the side.

It was at this moment that he felt a strong gust of wind coming from beside him, and a football suddenly flew past him and penetrated into the net.

"Yeahhhhh...!"

The voice of the Leicester Expeditionary Force sounded at the scene. Vardy turned his head and saw that Chen Yufeng had just put away his sideways volley and rushed towards the side of the pitch.

"A genius, an older genius."

Vardy couldn't help but swallow his saliva and chased after Chen Yufeng. Other teammates immediately swarmed up, everyone shouted, feeling the passion bursting from the inside out.

Only Martinez, suddenly as if something was stuck in his neck, his face instantly darkened, and he sat back in the coaching seat.

Looking at the Leicester City soldiers running wildly on the court, and Ranieri wearing a suit and standing straight next to him.

He suddenly thought of the other teams, and the expression on his face changed several times, and finally he complained viciously: "They all have to die!"
