Chapter 484 A low-key challenger

Chapter 64 The low-key challenger

The top-ranked giants teams have lost the chain one after another, and the result of this is that Manchester United continues to widen the points gap.

In this round of league transfer, the "Independent" expressed a little pessimistically on the front page of its own newspaper: "Perhaps this season's Premier League, the ownership of the league champion is already very clear."

The Premier League this season is indeed very different from the past.

The defending champion is still in trouble. Mourinho's team has only won four games so far. The favorite team to win the championship at the beginning of the season can only struggle in the middle and lower reaches of the league to avoid relegation.Mourinho entered the Blue Bridge for the second time. At that time, almost everyone thought that the madman had found his own belonging. He might stay in Chelsea for a long time. Just like Ferguson was to Manchester United, Mourinho will also become Chelsea. Godfather.However, the current situation is unimaginable anyway.

Leicester City, which is now at the top of the standings, was a complete relegation team last season.Now the team closest to Manchester United is actually this last season's relegation team, which is undoubtedly quite embarrassing for other strong teams in the Premier League.

The strong teams collectively lost the chain, and Manchester United benefited.

However, Manchester United's recent slightly sluggish performance, especially in the last few games, it is obviously more difficult for Manchester United to win, which also gave other England fans a glimmer of hope.

Maybe Manchester United suddenly encountered a wave of losing streak in the devil's schedule in the middle of the season?

This is not impossible in the Premier League.Arsenal have played this role quite often in the past.Arsenal can often perform very well at the beginning of the season, but after Christmas, they start to lose the chain. It is not until the end of the season that Arsenal will once again compete under the belief of competing for fourth.

Manchester United's opponent in the next round of the league is Leicester City, but before that, Manchester United actually has a Champions League group match to play.

However, the media does not pay much attention to Manchester United's opponent PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League group stage. Instead, they pay more attention to Manchester United's opponent Leicester City.

The "Independent" bluntly stated: "Now Manchester United's performance is gradually declining. It is much more difficult for them to win the next game than at the beginning of the previous season. With a particularly distinctive defensive counterattack, they have achieved a wave of four consecutive victories, and now they are [-] points behind Manchester United. Perhaps the current league is at this level, and Ranieri's team goal may be far more than just relegation."

Another team analyzed Leicester City's lineup. For example, Vardy, the leading shooter currently ranked second in the scorer list, Mahrez, who is No. 3 in the assist list, and the defender who is responsible for intercepting and sweeping. Waist Kanter, central defender Morgan, goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr. Judging from the performance of these players this season, the abilities of these players are no worse than those of the players of the rich teams.

Tinker Ranieri has quietly built a team that is as effective as any giant.

Of course, if any team has Leicester City's performance after more than ten rounds, the media can always draw their conclusions from the middle.

It's just that the media's praise of Leicester City has made the head coach of Leicester City quite distressed.

In Ranieri's view, Leicester City actually has a gap compared to other giant teams in terms of hard power, but at present, relying on this set of tactics, and other teams are currently facing Leicester City. I don't know much about the tactics of Leicester City, and some teams even don't pay much attention to Leicester City, ignoring the existence of this small team and the weak performance of the strong teams this season. To the second position in the standings.

Now other teams don't want to pay attention to Leicester City. After all, points are the last word. Leicester City's points allow them to take second place in the league. Naturally, other teams will never ignore this goal. Team.

Leicester City is destined to be the object of study by other teams.

And now there are even many media calling Leicester City the team most likely to beat Manchester United.

In Ranieri's view, these are all moves to put Leicester on fire.

Therefore, on the one hand, Ranieri showed weakness in a very low-key manner in the media: "We know that we will lose sooner or later, and our goal this season is only to relegation. Saturday will be a huge challenge, we are great , but we also have weaknesses. We just want to experience and show our great mentality. I know that compared to Manchester United, Leicester City's lineup is difficult to compare. Some people say this is a peak match, This is wrong, the game between Leicester City and Manchester United is not a peak match, it is between Liverpool and Manchester United, the game between Arsenal and Manchester United is, the game between Manchester City and Manchester United can also be a peak match, but Leicester City No with Manchester United, this is just an ordinary league game, we will try our best to beat strong opponents at home. Now some people say that we can stay at the top of the standings, but for us, getting [-] points, Completing relegation is still our goal."

On the other hand, Ranieri has strengthened the team's training intensity, and what he is talking to the players is another rhetoric.

Vardy is obviously dissatisfied with Ranieri's performance of showing weakness to the media. Although he did not show it, the old Jianghu Ranieri can easily see the emotions of this big man in England.

Leicester City performed so well this season, Vardy's performance is indispensable.Vardy has scored in ten consecutive Premier League rounds.Originally, Vardy hoped to surpass Ruud van Nistelrooy and become the first player in history to score eleven consecutive rounds, but this record was broken in advance by Li Qingshan - Li Qingshan now scored twelve consecutive Premier League rounds, if not in the No.13 round If he failed to score against Watford, Li Qingshan still hopes to continue this record.

However, it is still possible for Valdy to challenge the record of scoring goals in [-] consecutive games. As long as he scores goals in the next two rounds of the league, he can break Li Qingshan's new record.

Ranieri's work revolves around appeasing the emotions of the team players. For Leicester City, the league is the only front they currently need to fight.

Manchester United, which is fighting on two fronts, must first deal with a good Champions League game.

In the Champions League match in midweek, facing the visiting Eindhoven, Manchester United played their best.

Eindhoven beat Manchester United at home, and this time they are away, they are not so lucky.

Relying on Li Qingshan's two goals in the first and second half, Manchester United beat their opponents [-]-[-].

After the game ended, good news came from another game in the group. CSKA Moscow and Wolfsburg drew [-]-[-]. As a result, Manchester United led Wolff, who ranked second in the group. Fortress four points. With the last round left in the group, Manchester United has already won the first round of the group one round ahead of schedule.
