Chapter 322 Leicester City Miracle!!
Was that season really Leicester City's season?
In this season's selection of the best eleven in the Premier League, many people from Leicester City were selected.
Not to mention the summer trip, Vardy, Mahrez, Kante, Morgan and Schmeichel were all selected.
It even squeezed out David Silva, De Bruyne, Giroud, Lukaku and other stars who performed equally well this season.
No way, who made Leicester City's season better?
On the Premier League stage that season, no one could compete with Leicester City.
At this moment, the Premier League is all over, but there is only one English overseas match left.
That means no FA Cup final.
In the previous match of the Premier League on May 15, Ranieri sent all the main players to play.
He didn't let the players rest more to keep them in game shape.
Especially the main players.
Because they are going to play before the Champions League, they must go all out.
And that FA Cup final was not even paid much attention by Ranieri.
That game was a week away from the Champions League final. Logically speaking, there would be no problem with the main players.
But Ranieri didn't.
He insisted on sending substitute players to play.
That made Leicester City's top management even criticize.
But Ranieri's explanation has convinced everyone.
"At the beginning of that season, he told the players that he wanted to strategically abandon foreign cup competitions.
"In fact, he didn't do that.
"Except for xia, foreign cup competitions have always allowed substitute players and young players to play.
“And they also showed amazing strength and actually made it all the way to the finals.
"He takes no credit for that, and he's proud of them.
"Also because the cup competition status was maintained, the team also got a rest from the long league battle.
"Without those substitute players, there would be no Leicester City miracle this season.
"Now that the team has entered the finals, those substitute players should continue to play!
"Even if he hasn't won the championship before, he still recognizes it!
"For Leicester City, he believes that a commitment and a respect are far more important than an FA Cup champion!"
A commitment and a respect.
Then Ranieri gave it to the substitute players.
That season the main players received too much applause and flowers, while the substitute players were unknown.
Now, Ranieri hopes they can create a miracle and help Leicester City win a championship trophy again!
On the evening of May 22, Wembley Stadium.
When Leicester City appeared at the stadium, the fans in the stands burst into applause.
Is that the applause dedicated to the Premier League champion?
That Premier League championship is like a dream.
Xia Xing, wearing the captain's armband, was at the front. He had heard that kind of applause countless times.
The Leicester City substitutes behind him rarely heard.
Tomorrow, the applause will ring out for them.
In the center of the court, Xia Xing turned back and looked at his teammates with sincere eyes.
"Guys, they fought on multiple fronts that season and couldn't afford to miss a beat in every game.
“We have contributed a lot to how far they have gone in the third-tier championship!
"The applause just now is the best compliment the fans can give each of us!
"Tomorrow's final is not that important to them.
“A lot of people think that way and don’t value it that much, and maybe some of us think that way too.
"After all, the FA Cup champion is compared to the Premier League champion and the Champions League champion.
"There's no comparison.
"But no, what do they think?
"He doesn't think it's important!
"Because this is the final they fought for!
“That’s a trophy of their own!
"In that game, were they fighting against Leicester City?
“But no!
"Or fight against themselves!
"come on!
"guys!
"After 90 minutes,
"Let them celebrate their victory together!
"Listen to the wonderful applause from the audience again!"
Standing next to his teammates, the young Chilwell suddenly felt a little dazed.
Is the young man wearing the captain's armband in front of him really just one year older than him?
Look at him standing in front of his teammates, speaking with certainty and sincerity.
With that kind of magnanimity, he is no less than captain Morgan and vice-captain Schmeichel!
In some ways, he is even more powerful than the two captains!
Because now he is extremely convinced that everyone is wrong and is extremely looking forward to it!
As long as he is here, everyone will feel at ease!
He is the cornerstone of the team's solid defense!
No team can rely on shredding the wrong leg!
After Xia Xing finished speaking, his teammates responded loudly and applauded him!
The battle has begun!
Leicester City still did not play as a second team in that game, and Manchester United did not have all their main players.
Is this Van Gaal's last battle? He knows it very well.
So of course I value the victory in that game, but I also value whether I can give my favorite players a chance.
For example, in the forward line, Rashford is the lone forward.
His ruthless general Martial is blocked on the left wing.
In the left back position, Van Gaal rarely sent the young Jackson.
The 19-year-old Van Gaal is another talented defender who has been promoted to the first team.
But he was not so lucky, and Van Gaal could not help him much.
From the first minute of that game, both sides switched offense and defense at an extremely fast pace.
Especially Leicester City.
With Xia Xing's organization and passing, their attack speed was very fast.
Shinji Okazaki and Ulloa in the frontcourt ran aggressively.
Behind him, James also performed bravely that season.
Two consecutive breakthroughs with the ball posed a great threat to Manchester United.
In the 18th minute of the game, James once again dribbled the ball along the right wing!
Continuously shake off the defense and suddenly hit horizontally!
Xia Xing follows quickly!
Although James is no longer in the starting lineup, his tacit understanding with Xia Xing is still top-notch.
Xia Xing catches the ball, makes a slight adjustment, and shoots!
The ball hits the net!
De Gea jumped up, but still couldn't touch the ball!
The ball went in!
1 to 0!
Leicester City scored first!
A ball in the leg, Leicester City's momentum is even greater.
Facing Manchester United's attack, his midfield and backcourt fought extremely hard.
Hammond, Schlupp and Andy King, veterans of Leicester's Championship days, were in their best form ever that season.
Especially tomorrow, facing Manchester United's fierce attack, they defended desperately.
In a fight with Rooney just now, Andy King was hit by Rooney's leg and hit the bridge of his nose, causing blood to flow.
But after Dongchang stopped the bleeding, he quickly ran back to the court.
The stands burst into applause!
Is this applause dedicated to Leicester City’s No. 10 player?
In the 39th minute of the game, Andy Jin's long diagonal pass accurately found Ulloa!
Ulloa heads the ball back!
Xia Xing hit the net with a low shot from the top of the penalty area!
2 to 0!
Leicester City scores another goal!
Although Jackson made a pass in the east half to help Rashford get a goal back, Fuxing immediately hit back!
A long shot hit the net again!
3 to 1!
In the past, Manchester United could not rewrite the score again!
The referee's whistle sounds!
Leicester City wins!
Leicester City Miracle!!
Very good at acting!!!
