The Premier League of that season started in August, but for Leicester City, their new season started earlier.
On the evening of August February, the evening breeze of the summer moon blew in the sky over Wembley Stadium.
The Leicester City soldiers arrived there an hour early.
To them, the place was already very familiar.
They played several cup matches there during the season.
The honor of winning the Triple Crown will make Wembley Stadium a blessed place for Leicester City.
For Ranieri, it was an extremely familiar place.
He has coached Chelsea for many years, played in the Premier League for many years, and has been there many times.
I felt very emotional when I revisited my old place.
And after returning to the Premier League that time, his first wrong leg was even more fateful.
Chelsea.
The mismatch between the FA Cup champion and the league champion even made it possible for Chelsea to reconnect with each other.
Leicester City soldiers walked into the stadium, and the stands instantly burst into applause.
The applause from the audience made the Leicester City players a little confused.
"Are they that popular?" James' eyes widened.
Drinkwater snorted: "I want to eat shit! Coach No is popular, okay!"
He is right, Ranieri is popular.
He was once the Chelsea coach and was the first head coach in the Abramovich era.
Without the interference of Jinyuan Football, the Chelsea he coached could already be called the Big 4.
Even if they are better than Ferguson's Manchester United and Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, they still have to be cautious when facing Ranieri's Chelsea.
Although he left school sadly in the past, it still did not affect his status in the hearts of Chelsea fans.
Especially old Blues fans.
Ranieri's good-natured character is quite popular.
And Mourinho, who was in the Chelsea coaching bench at this time, was also the person who replaced Ranieri as coach.
Later, Ranieri went to Serie A, and Mourinho also created the era of Inter Milan, and the two also crossed paths many times.
Unexpectedly, full circle, the two met again in the Premier League.
"Claudio, hello, long time no see."
"Jose, long time no see."
Seeing Mourinho again, Ranieri looked at him carefully: "Well, I seem to have changed and become more calm."
Mourinho smiled: "But I haven't changed, I'm not so full of good intentions."
Ranieri: "That doesn't sound so pleasant?"
Mourinho: "Don't say that, he likes me very much."
Ranieri: "Just like it?"
Mourinho: "If I don't like it, don't I respect it?"
Ranieri: "No?"
Mourinho: "He won't respect me unless I step on his shoulders and win the Premier League."
Ranieri didn't say anything more, the two shook hands friendly and turned to leave.
Ranieri is gone, but Mourinho is not.
He is waiting for someone.
Who are you waiting for?
Naturally, it is not possible to travel in summer.
"Xia!"
"Coach Mourinho, I'm fine."
"I'm such a stubborn guy. He asked Mendes to come forward and invite me to join Chelsea, but he actually told him that he couldn't talk to me. I'm really a stubborn guy."
"He likes Leicester City and I'm sorry he can't accept my invitation."
"I can't win the league title at Leicester City, let alone the Champions League. Why don't I come to Chelsea, they can give me what I want. The transfer window is very tight, and I have no time to change my mind."
"Forget it, he has no intention of changing. Besides, who said Leicester City can't win the league championship and the Champions League? He thinks he can give it a try and maybe he can create a miracle."
"Well, wish me good luck."
Looking at Xia Xing running on the court, Mourinho curled his lips.
As for the Premier League championship and the Champions League championship, we can't even win the Community Shield.
Boy, one day he will bring me under his command, I will wait for it!
From the first minute of that game, the battle was very intense.
Especially Chelsea, who are very motivated.
No, it should be said that Chelsea were very motivated that season.
They finally regained the league title this season, and Mourinho's team reintroduced their iron-blooded soul.
They are looking forward to all the championship honors in the new season.
Mourinho played his best card in that game.
Especially the offensive line.
Diego Costa, Hazard, Oscar, William, Fabregas...
Only Matic is left to play as a defensive midfielder, and the five midfielders and frontcourt players are ready for a fierce attack.
The two full-backs Azpilicueta and Ivanovic are also positioned relatively high, and they obviously intend to actively attack tomorrow.
Looking at Leicester City, their lineup is almost the same as last season.
Still familiar with the 4-4-2 formation,
Goalkeeper Schmeichel,
Four defenders from left to right: De Laet, Wes Morgan, Huth, Danny Simpson,
The four midfielders from left to right, Kante, Drinkwater, Mahrez,
The two forwards are Vardy and Ulloa.
Compared with last season's lineup, only one defensive player has been changed.
Veteran Cambiasso was on the bench, and Kanter started in his place.
Robin van Persie, Shinji Okazaki, Fox, Inler and other new players did not get the chance to start.
Even Mourinho laughed.
"Just looking at the lineup, he thought Leicester City's coach was not Pearson."
There are almost no changes, so everyone's perception of Leicester City is wrong.
Soon, they discovered the problem.
Leicester City looks unchanged, but there are obviously big changes!
Just five minutes into the game, Chelsea attacked twice.
But they were all ruined by the Leicester City midfielder.
Hazard dribbled the ball along the wing, but he just passed Mahrez and was blocked in an instant!
At this time, many Chelsea players have already moved into position and can pass the ball.
But Azar does not believe in evil.
He really wanted to move in and look for better opportunities.
Looking at the little black man in front of him, he snorted.
I don’t deny that Chinese guy, he treated me like a kid!
Didn't you expect that with two consecutive fake moves, he didn't deceive the wrong party!
Although the ball was not intercepted by the wrong leg, he completely missed the best opportunity to pass the ball.
In the moment of hesitation, Drinkwater next to him quickly made up the defense and directly knocked down Hazard!
Touch the ball first, no foul!
Chelsea's good opening opportunity is gone!
Soon, William on the right dribbled the ball forward again.
When I met Xia Xing, he had never tried anyone before.
Will he know Xia Xing's defensive capabilities during the season?
Although his defensive skills are average, his strength and speed are top-notch.
Cross pass to Cesc Fabregas!
But as soon as the ball was kicked, a figure shot out instantly!
Not that Leicester City No. 14!
His judgment was very accurate and the tackle was successful!
Chelsea missed two good opportunities in the opening game!
And they didn't even get near the penalty area before they lost the ball!
That Leicester City team seems a little different!
