Chapter 65: Fuck those guys from the Premier League!
December 14, the twentieth round of the English Championship.
Leicester City defeated Burnley 3-2.
That game extended their lead to ten points.
As long as there are no surprises, they were stable that season.
After the game, the players thanked the fans on the sidelines of the court, and the atmosphere was very warm.
They enjoyed the applause of the fans, and their ears were filled with the fans calling Han Xuan their own names.
Very crazy female fans blowing kisses.
The boys were intoxicated.
He happily returned to the locker room, where the coaching staff had already returned.
In the locker room, Shakespeare had already posted the latest standings on his writing board.
The big "10 points" is quite eye-catching.
"Guys! They're ten points ahead! We're super good!"
"Oh oh oh!"
The Leicester City soldiers cheered and high-fived each other.
Pearson was also smiling.
After a moment, Pearson slowly put away his smile. He looked around and looked at the players seriously.
"Guys, he has something to ask you and wants our opinion."
"Um?"
The players were stunned.
The coach, who has always been determined in his work, actually wants to listen to their opinions?
It's rare.
Pearson looked around, sizing up the ruthless generals one by one, and spoke slowly.
“At that time, their schedule was very intensive, with one game played every three days.
"Actually, according to his thoughts at the beginning of the season, he is not planning to give up the cup competition.
"He even wanted the youth team players to go and have some fun.
"After all, their most important goal is to win the league and to surpass the league.
"As for the cup, their chances of winning the championship are too small.
“Anyway, it should be smaller than winning the league.
“If you can’t win the championship, then it doesn’t mean much no matter how far you go.
"On the contrary, it will most likely affect their league results, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"But now, his mind has changed a bit.
"Guys, we had a great season, everyone was great.
“The new boys who joined the team surprised him.
“Those who have contributed to the top spot in the season, we are still continuing our excellent form.
“And they now have a strong team and are leading the league.
"So, he has some ideas——
"Why don't they try hard in the cup?
"Two reasons.
“First, we are outstanding and he believes that we are fully capable and have the opportunity to go further.
"Second, if they go further, they will encounter more strong Premier League teams and giants.
“Whether the game against them will be quite interesting?
"Having high attention is a great thing.
“That means they will get a lot of ticket revenue and advertising revenue.
"It helps a lot in team building, and we personally will also get a lot of bonuses.
“It’s very clear that with attention, each of us will shine brighter in the future.
"If we are favored by a wealthy club, he will definitely not stop me from looking for a better future.
"Of course, he doesn't want to be with us.
"That defeats the purpose of the cup competition.
"At the beginning of the season, he felt they should focus on the league.
"Now he thinks they can distract themselves from the cup competition.
"Bu Nao, if we fight on two fronts or three fronts,
"There are certainly big challenges for each of us,
"Fitness is a big issue, and the pressure of the game is also very difficult.
"Now he wants to hear our opinion.
"Do we want to remain firmly at the top of the league and stay focused?
"Don't you want to try to play more cup games and compete with more Premier League teams that they want to face this season?"
As soon as Pearson finished speaking, the irritable Konchesky slapped his chest!
"Got to fuck them!"
"Who?"
"Fuck those guys from the Premier League! They will meet them sooner or later anyway!"
"So, I'm interested in the cup?"
"Must~must~!"
"Okay! Does anyone have any ideas? Just tell me."
Captain Morgan also stood up: "He doesn't want to give up the cup either."
Vardy's eyes were firm: "He wants to play every game well and treat every wrong leg seriously!"
Schmeichel: "Their top position in the league is very stable and they can spread their energy appropriately. He thinks it's okay."
Drinkwater: "He also wants to go all out to play in the cup! The coach will ask one more question, if Real Madrid cares about him, will I be willing to let him go?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The locker room burst into laughter.
Pearson was not angry: "Don't talk about Real Madrid, even if Roma begs me, he will let me go!"
James: "That 'even'...Roma will feel offended..."
Most of the players expressed their support for fighting on the third front.
Pearson nodded and looked at Xia Xing again.
"Xia, what do I think? Can I be an offensive piece that the team needs very much?"
Xia Xing smiled slightly, his face full of confidence.
"Don't worry, coach, he's in good shape and has no problem. Even if there are double matches for a week, he can handle it!"
"good!"
Pearson slapped his hand: "Since we all agree, then they are seriously mistreating the devil's schedule! Come on, boys!"
I won East Burnley on December 14, took a day off, and resumed training on December 16.
Training will continue from December 17th.
On December 18, the entire Leicester City team set off.
They travel to Manchester.
That time, I was not going back to reminisce with a few former Manchester United players, but to go to the blue space of Manchester.
In tomorrow's League Cup quarter-finals, Leicester City will face their opponent - Manchester City away from home!
On the bus heading to the away game, Drinkwater said jokingly: "We were fighting with Manchester City during that time. A few days ago we played against Burnley, which had several former Manchester City players, and now we are facing a real opponent.
Manchester City.”
Andy King: "How about it, are you confident?"
"Of course I have confidence!" James slapped his chest, "He will kill them!"
De Laet is also gearing up: "It's been a long time since I played against Manchester City."
Liam Moore: "He asked weakly, did we play against Manchester City when we were at Manchester United?"
silence.
Awkward silence.
James: "They played with the Manchester City youth team! They are like this too!"
Liam Moore: "It's good, it's good."
Schmeichel: "I won't pick up the pot, okay?"
Seeing the players chatting in the back row, Shakespeare was in a good mood: "It seems that those boys have a good mentality and are not nervous at all."
Pearson looked at the blue sky outside the window: "When we get to the Etihad Stadium, they can be so relaxed. That would be the best."
Shakespeare: "No problem, he likes them!"
Pearson turned around and saw Xia Xing two seats away.
Xia Xing was seen looking out the window, as if thinking about something.
Perhaps, was he thinking about the new task he had assigned to him?
I hope he can get what he wants tomorrow...
