Chapter 282 Iron-blooded!
Leicester City qualified!
The Champions League group has qualified!
That night, the city of Leicester was once again in jubilation!
It only qualified for the Champions League group once, which is not worth mentioning compared to many wealthy teams.
They have the opportunity to play in the Champions League knockout rounds almost every season.
But for Leicester City, this is a major breakthrough.
I wonder if they will play in the Europa League for the first time this season!
This season, we are playing in the second tier of English football!
That kind of speed is like walking on a rocket!
Countless fans are excited!
They are looking forward to the wrong team more and more!
After winning the game, Vichai personally came to the locker room and congratulated everyone on the team.
Moreover, I gave him the bonus I had promised before.
Almost all of the team’s ticket revenue will be taken tomorrow.
That grand prize is quite generous.
Wei Chai is passionate about football, but he is not a businessman.
He knows that players have dreams, but in addition to dreams, they also value financial stimulation.
After all, playing football is not a job.
If you talk about feelings instead of money, then you are just acting like a hooligan.
In addition to the players, the team's coaching staff and medical team also benefited a lot.
Everyone was very happy.
That night was truly a wonderful night.
After finishing the Champions League group stage, the whole team is looking forward to playing in Dongdu.
The second position in the group makes it very likely that they will encounter a strong opponent.
But so what?
That season, can they beat Real Madrid and Barcelona?
No one is afraid to come!
Among the teams that qualified for the Champions League group stage that season, there were still many giants and few upsets.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and the "top three of the Western Super League" all qualified.
The Bundesliga's Bayern and Wolfsburg teams successfully qualified.
Juventus and Roma from Serie A have achieved great glory.
French Ligue 1 hegemon Paris has won five games in a row and qualified strongly.
And whether the Premier League teams have the most qualifications?
Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Leicester City, four teams qualified together.
Wrong, don't forget that there is a Premier League giant that was eliminated.
Manchester United.
In the Group B competition, Manchester United was defeated by Wolfsburg and PSV Eindhoven. Before, they could play in the Europa League as third in the group.
Among the five participating teams in the Premier League, whoever is missing will be embarrassed.
Van Gaal's confinement is not going well, and it is said that the club has had some conflicts with him.
If they cannot win some meaningful championships this season, Manchester United's coaching position will need to be replaced in the Eastern season.
In addition to the teams in the five major leagues, many strong players in the second tier also performed well and qualified one after another.
Such as PSV, Zenit, Dynamo Kiev, Gent and other teams.
They all successfully broke through the group stage.
Who was wrong about Leicester City's quarter-final performance?
Three days later, the answer was revealed!
Eindhoven!
Leicester City are rejoicing in the East!
This is definitely a team that looks best on paper!
Although they performed well in the group stage, it was probably because they were not strong in the group, at least not as good as Leicester City's group.
If they face the wrong giants, Leicester City will be very dangerous in the two rounds.
But if they don't face PSV, the Blue Fox will have the strength to fight in the East!
Is it really a good sign?
Although the European competition will not resume until February 2016, Leicester City's coaching staff is now beginning to study the Eredivisie in advance.
PSV were in excellent form that season and they led the standings.
There are also many talents outside the team, so study the wrong-leg tactics in advance and be prepared.
In addition to studying the wrong leg, the most important thing for Leicester City at this stage is to consolidate the league points advantage.
Now that the advantage of leading the Premier League is obvious, Leicester City cannot be careless.
Especially in the next few games in the east, they will face strong opponents such as Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City one after another.
If something unexpected happens, they are likely to stumble.
In December and September, Leicester City faced Chelsea in the sixteenth round of the Premier League.
Because they had just played in the Champions League group stage, Ranieri once again sent out a attacking lineup.
Many main players took turns to rest, including the two captains and deputy captains.
Xia Xing once again appeared wearing the captain's armband.
Facing Chelsea, Leicester City will be very relaxed tomorrow.
It doesn't mean that they don't pay attention to that game, but it's because they are more confident about that game.
Because Chelsea is in chaos right now.
The league champion in the season is actually hovering near the relegation zone. Can I believe it?
A disobedient female team doctor actually caused Chelsea to fall apart.
Is that really the most ridiculous joke in international football this season?
In that game, Chelsea still played with all their main players, Hazard, Oscar, Diego Costa, Terry...
But despite this, they still played in disarray.
That Chelsea team seemed to have lost all its energy.
Even though Mourinho kept shouting instructions and boosting morale on the sidelines, it still didn't help.
Now the Portuguese coach has lost his prestige.
His tactics were demanding and his training tasks were strict, which made many players unhappy.
Now he has a conflict with his boss Abramovich, and has been pushed to the forefront because of the incident of the female team doctor. The team is no longer under his control.
Even though Mourinho refused to admit defeat and tried to reverse the defeat, the team lost consecutive games.
Countless media are saying that Abramovich may fire Mourinho in the near future.
Maybe after that game, maybe after the next game.
So now Mourinho treats every game as if it is the last game.
If not, so what...
Although half of Leicester City's attacking players will start tomorrow, they still have the initiative in the game.
As soon as the game started, Xia Xing used a side breakthrough to create a murderous opportunity.
He passed three people on the left, and the cross found Kramaric, who grabbed the ball in front of the goal and scored.
1 to 0!
In the 37th minute of the game, Xia Xing's long shot from outside the penalty area directly opened the goal guarded by Courtois.
2 to 0!
In that defense, Chelsea's midfield and backfield were useless.
Oscar, Hazard and other players were lazy in their defense and had no fighting spirit.
Even though Mourinho roared loudly on the sidelines, it was of no avail.
The only one who actively fought for it was William, but he was alone.
Although Leicester City led by two goals, they still fought fiercely.
Especially defensive.
In the 45th minute of the game, during a midfield defense, Xia Xing collided heavily with Matic!
The brow bone bleeds instantly!
But even so, Xia Xing still insisted on kicking the ball forward to prevent the team from being hit by a counterattack!
Applause broke out at the King Power Stadium!
"summer!"
"summer!"
"summer!"
The referee's whistle sounded, and Xia Xing was supported by the team doctor in the east court for treatment.
Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room sighed.
"Chelsea was once known as the Iron-Blooded Blues.
"And now they have achieved success.
"That iron-blooded character has become the characteristic of Leicester City today.
"I really don't know what Mourinho is thinking on the sidelines at this moment..."
