Chapter 96 The powerful wrong leg
In the stands, some old fans were in tears.
Premier League, they are finally here!
A few years ago, they were struggling in League One.
It wasn't until the 2008-2009 season that they won the English League One championship and returned to the second-tier English Championship.
And in the few seasons in the English Championship, they have had constant ups and downs.
Now, they finally succeeded!
And for many new fans, they are also very excited.
The experience of failing to reach the top spot in the season is still fresh in their minds.
And they left behind a painful experience of the "Watford Miracle", making them the laughing stock of others.
That season, they made a comeback!
Continue to be at the top of the list!
Leading the second place by more than ten league points for a long time!
Win the English Championship six rounds ahead of schedule!
Successfully surpassed!
Perfect season!
Countless ribbons flying, countless applause!
Is the King Power Stadium a sea of joy now?
Pearson on the sidelines was also smiling.
Since that season, he has smiled a lot more.
The team's performance is getting better and better, and his mood is getting better and better.
He thought that he would achieve good results that season.
But as an alliance, I didn't expect that I would win the championship with such an overwhelming advantage.
marvelous!
That night, the city of Leicester had no sleep!
After that game, Pearson once again gave the players two days off to have a good rest.
Three days later, in the 41st round of the British Championship, Leicester City lost 0-3 at home.
It’s not that Brighton is so strong, but that Leicester City used a young and substitute lineup in that game.
Not to mention Mahrez, Vardy and others, even Xia Xing, who has always occupied the main position and is in excellent physical condition, has not been included in the 18-man squad.
For Leicester City, which has already won the championship, that game was just a training exercise.
It doesn't matter if you lose.
The most important thing now is whether the players must get maximum rest.
After playing for a whole season, they are very tired and need to adjust quickly.
Because in a few days, they will encounter a very powerful wrong leg!
Leicester City's FA Cup semi-final mistake - Arsenal!
After the team's tactical training, and before the end of the day's training, Pearson talked about Arsenal with a serious expression.
“Arsene Wenger’s team is one of the most attacking teams in Europe.
"He even thinks that if they are in good condition, they will be among the top three in Europe in terms of offensive power.
"That wrong leg is very powerful, very powerful.
“Goalkeeper Szczesny is very solid.
"Defenders Vermaelen, Per Mertesacker and Koscielny are all very solid.
"Rosicky, Arteta, Cazorla and others in the midfield play very artistically and are good at passing and shooting.
"It's very Ramsey, Flamini, Oxlade-Chamberlain, etc.
"Arsenal can even field two sets of starting midfielders of equal strength, which is very impressive.
"The perfect arrow at the front line is naturally not Giroud.
"He is not the first-class center of his era.
"Strong attack power, stronger ball skills,
"Standard column center.
“Their wrong leg that time was very difficult to beat.
"That game, that wrong leg, what do we think?"
As soon as Pearson finished speaking, Drinkwater spoke first.
"Coach, he just looked at the Premier League standings yesterday morning.
"Arsenal are fourth,
"Well, still ranked fourth.
"Who's in front of him?
"Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea,
"Those three teams are way ahead of Arsenal.
"In other words, Arsenal's overall strength and condition that season were not as good as the previous three teams.
"That would be interesting,
"In the FA Cup, it seems that both Manchester City and Chelsea were eliminated by the same team, right?
"No, James?"
James next to him chimed in: "That's right! They were all eliminated by a great team!"
"No Manchester United?"
"Of course not!"
"No Liverpool?"
"No way!"
"Who is that?"
"No to Leicester City! No to them!"
"Perfect! They can even win first and third place in the Premier League. Who cares about fourth place in the Premier League?"
After saying that, Drinkwater looked at the coaching staff proudly.
Pearson and Shakespeare had a misunderstanding.
"Nigel, he really wants to hit James, he is so stupid and cheap."
"Control it, control it."
Drinkwater and James had just finished singing harmony, and De Laet next to him also shut up.
"He didn't defend Giroud, but he did defend Dzeko.
"They haven't had any dealings with Rosicky, Cazorla or Ramsey.
"But they have missed out on David Silva, Nasri and Yaya Toure.
“He watched the Premier League a few days ago,
"Man City and Arsenal tied 1-1, is it considered evenly matched?
"So it can be seen that they can beat Manchester City 1-0.
"They can beat Arsenal 1-0.
"The same inference is made, very reasonable."
Shakespeare: "My middle school physical education class was taught by my math teacher..."
The Doubi trio all shut up, and the other players also spoke one after another.
Even Mahrez, who never shuts up the most, spoke up: "If he plays against Arsenal, he will definitely score!"
Vardy: "Brother, can I try to get another assist..."
Pearson and Shakespeare watched the players speak confidently, and they listened attentively.
Ten minutes later, Pearson nodded: "Since we are so confident, of course he is happy. He hopes that their FA Cup legendary experience that season will not end, but go all the way to the beginning!"
"necessary!"
"They must reach the finals!"
"They are definitely FA Cup champions!"
With the players screaming in belief, Pearson announced the end of the day's training.
Almost all players left the training ground.
They were too tired during that period, and Vardy was also adjusting his body and temporarily stopped practicing.
Bu Nao didn't stop, he was practicing alone on the court.
Pearson and Shakespeare were discussing tactics when they looked up and saw the stadium.
"Xia, I really don't want to take a break. Is that guy of mine really capable?"
"It's okay coach, he's okay!"
"Come and rest for a while, let them chat."
"good!"
Arriving at the side of the court, Shakespeare opened his seat and let Xia Xing walk between the two of them.
Pearson looked at Xia Xing and recalled the scene just now.
"Why didn't I shut up about the discussion about Arsenal just now? I am not a silent and outgoing young man."
"Well... everyone was expressing their opinions enthusiastically just now, but it wasn't appropriate for him to shut up, so he didn't say anything."
"Why is it inappropriate?"
"Because he thinks differently than they do."
"Oh? Different ideas? I think they are overconfident?"
"No, no, no, they are overconfident. Of course, being confident is a good thing."
"Then do I think they underestimated their enemy?"
"That's right! You are underestimating the enemy! Arsenal's wrong leg that time was completely different from Manchester City and Chelsea before..."
