Two games in a row for a week, first playing Manchester United within 7 days, then going away to play against Red Bull Salzburg, and then back to back away to play against Crystal Palace.
This intensive schedule is unbearable even for the giants, let alone Leicester City, which uses the same lineup to the end.
The players' physical strength is really unbearable, so they finally adopted rotation in this game.
The substitute lineup + the reserve lineup played against Crystal Palace away.
Crystal Palace coach Alan Pardew was originally nervous and prepared multiple plans to deal with Leicester City before the game.
They even beat Manchester United to pieces, which was a bit scary!
As a result, Lin Mo did not play, and Leicester City's performance returned to the level of the English Championship, playing without any rules.
Crystal Palace almost retreated to the penalty area in the first 20 minutes and dared not move.
Later, they found out... that's it? They were timid against Premier League teams, but they could hit hard against English Championship teams!
Former Manchester United player Zaha was a dragon on the wing and dominated the entire right corridor.
In the 25th minute of the first half, Crystal Palace scored a goal and led Leicester City 1:0.
Later, Leicester City also began to get scared, retreating 30 meters to defend, and only then did they keep the score.
In the end, Leicester City lost by 1 goal,
4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 6 rounds, still 13 points.
Chelsea beat Aston Villa 3:0, 4-2 draws and 0 losses, accumulating 14 points, and regained the top spot.
Leicester City only experienced the top spot for a week, and regrettably gave it up.
After the game, the media also interviewed Lin Mo, wanting him to talk about his thoughts on the team's loss.
"I think I can actually help the team. But the coach didn't send us out because of our physical condition."
"The players on the field have worked hard enough. This loss is not their fault. We can only say that Crystal Palace performed better."
"We still have hope of winning the championship, only 1 point behind Chelsea. The league has just started, and it is hard to say what will happen next."
Lin Mo mentioned the championship in the interview.
When he said this at the beginning of the season, it would definitely cause ridicule from the whole of England.
The newly promoted team overestimates its own capabilities and still wants to win the championship?
It is still unknown whether it can stay in the league!
893 After the first few rounds of games, after Leicester City defeated strong opponents in succession, the direction of public opinion quickly changed!
After all, only Chelsea, Manchester City and Leicester City scored more than 10 points, and other teams are temporarily lagging behind.
This season's biggest dark horse in the Premier League is indeed in the championship queue!
Leicester City competes for the championship?
Such a ridiculous thing... Well, it's still ridiculous enough.
《The Times commented solemnly:
"The Premier League is a long season. With the intensive Christmas schedule, even the top teams may be troubled by a large number of injuries, not to mention Leicester City, which has a thin lineup."
"They are fighting on four fronts this season. Even if they play in the FA Cup and League Cup, Leicester City still has to face the Premier League and Europa League. How to choose is a big problem"
"If they go all out to compete in the league and give up the lucrative broadcasting dividends and bonuses of the Europa League, they may still have a glimmer of hope for the championship. Otherwise, the more you want, the more you pay, which is something that small teams cannot afford."
"This defeat against Crystal Palace is enough to explain the problem.……"
Regarding the odds of Leicester City winning the Premier League, the bookmaker bwin gave a data of 1:5000.
Chelsea topped the list with 1.28, followed by Manchester City with 1 to 5.
Even though Manchester United was completely defeated 6:3, it still ranked third with 1 to 26;
Arsenal was not surprising, ranking fourth with 51;
Liverpool with 1 to 251; despite Leicester City's eye-catching performance at the beginning of the season, they were still 1 to 5000, and were not optimistic at all.
It can be seen that in the era of gold-dollar football, the long-term monopoly of the giants has made it almost impossible for small clubs to win the championship.
Even if they win 10 games, even if they maintain the lead for half a season, in the middle and late stages of the season, small teams will always fall behind in various ways, allowing the giants to overtake.
Therefore, it is called a miracle for a small team to win the championship.
Leicester City's odds of getting the top 4 are very high, reaching 1 to 4.75, which shows that public opinion still believes that Leicester City has the strength to compete for a place in the Champions League.
Because of Lin Mo's existence!
The Sun quickly exaggerated Lin Mo's post-match interview, turning it into Lin Mo's criticism of the coach's substitutions.
《Lin Mo questions Pearson, is there discord between the Blue Foxes' generals and the coach?》
《Pearson's voice in the locker room is shaking!》
《"Nigel Pearson may lose the support of the locker room"
It is well known that Lin Mo is already the spiritual leader in the Blue Fox locker room, comparable to the captain.
For many things, what Wes Morgan said may not be useful, but Lin Mo will definitely come forward to settle them.
In addition to his good popularity, everyone still values his ability to lead the team to victory.
It never hurts to have a good relationship with future superstars.
Therefore, if the"leader" Lin Mo and Nigel Pearson in the locker room conflict, the head coach Pearson will definitely suffer.
He has no popularity in the locker room, and his popularity is not even as good as that of assistant coach Shakespeare.
《After the report of The Sun, some discussions were also triggered among the fans.
Everyone is very grateful to Nigel Pearson for the key relegation in the 11/12 season, and is very grateful for the two seasons of promotion attempts and successful entry into the Premier League, which is partly due to his contribution.
However, after being promoted to the Premier League, Nigel Pearson's shortcomings have gradually become apparent.
In the match against the famous coach, his ability is far behind in terms of arranging troops and commanding on the spot. If it weren't for Lin Mo's outbreak, he would have been crushed by Mourinho first, and then he would have been completely blown up by Wenger, and he would not have taken advantage of the game against Manchester United.
The frequent start of the game is enough to show that there are certain problems with the head coach's pre-match deployment.
The 3-5-2 system, which has been criticized, has also become a major black spot for Nigel Pearson.
After anonymous feedback from fans, about 60% of the fans support Lin Mo, if there is a conflict between the two.
Seeing that public opinion is gradually brewing, the Foxes Club quickly came out to refute the rumors
"Nigel and the players have a good relationship. The media is completely taking his words out of context. We have kept the evidence and will sue The Sun for defamation if necessary."
In fact, although Lin Mo was a little dissatisfied with Pearson's substitution, he was not allowed to play when he was clearly qualified.
But Lin Mo respected the head coach's decision and did not like to have conflicts between the general and the minister.
Therefore, he specially found Pearson, hoping to clarify the media's misunderstanding.
"I know that everyone knows the morality of the English media, it doesn't matter."
Nigel Pearson's mentality (aedi) is good
"But, Lin, you would rather play, right?"
"Of course... I did have physical problems last season. But after training in the new season, my physical problems have been improved and are enough to cope with two games a week."
Lin Mo's expression was very serious.
"Even if I come on as a substitute, I hope to do my best to help the team turn around."
"You have to trust your teammates……"(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"I just want to win, and I'm always ready if the team needs me."
"I see. I'll think about it next."
Nigel Pearson nodded.
"By the way, what do you think about the current four-front battle? Feel free to share your thoughts."
Faced with the head coach's question, Lin Mo was a little surprised.
The players only need to fight hard on the court, and the coaching staff has a lot to consider.
The team's season goals and the choice of events are entirely the problems of the coaching staff and the board of directors.
The bench is strong, so they can have it all.
If the strength is insufficient, they can only choose one of them to go all the way.
In terms of deployment, players can put forward their own ideas, and the decision-making power still belongs to the coaching staff.
So Pearson wanted to know Lin Mo's opinion, which is enough to prove that Lin Mo, as the media said, already has enough say
"Let me share my thoughts from the perspective of the dressing room. After winning the League Cup, everyone is not very enthusiastic about the League Cup.……"
"The FA Cup is the oldest competition in England, and the brothers are still very interested in it."
"Of course, the league is the basic game, and the Europa League is an international event. These two events are equally important.……"
Pearson was stunned:
"You mean, we want to fight on three fronts? That would be very hard!"
"Isn't the FA Cup going to start next year? We are fighting on two fronts and we will do our best in every game. We will see how far we can go."
"That's true.
Nigel Pearson was a little embarrassed. He thought too much, which limited his thinking.
The players' thinking was very simple. They just had to give their all in every game and play well! []
For the first time, Nigel Pearson felt that the pressure of being a Premier League coach made him breathless. He was not as relaxed as the coach of a small team.
At this moment, he even thought about resigning.
……
In the 7th round of the Premier League, Leicester City vs. Burnley, the newly promoted brothers from the English Championship successfully met.
Last season, Leicester City defeated Burnley twice.
After coming to the Premier League, Burnley's fighting power was quite good, drawing with Manchester United, Crystal Palace, and Sunderland, and being completely beaten by Chelsea and West Brom.
Leicester City was originally the target of Burnley's points grabbing, but unfortunately they met the stronger Lin Mo!
"OHHHHHH—"
"Lin Mo, a world wave!! Just 5 minutes into the game, he fired a super long-range heavy artillery shot to open Burnley's goal!"
Leicester City leads 1:0!
Lin Mo didn't expect this goal, he could actually score like this?
【Sniper Shot] There is only a 5% chance that the judgment fails and cannot be triggered.
There was no one within 5 meters of Lin Mo, and he originally wanted to try the feel of his feet.
Unexpectedly, a burst of shot directly hit the goal post and bounced into the net!
Without relying on any plug-in, he scored completely with his own real strength!
"This season, Lin Mo is still leading the scorer list, firing on all cylinders! Scored 9 goals in 7 games!"
Aguero only scored 4 goals!
This is not over yet!
In the 60th minute of the second half, it was Lin Mo's showtime again!
"The ball is in! Lin Mo's signature heavy header!"
"Because the header was so powerful, Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton was directly headed into the goal!"
Zhan Jun was stunned. It was the first time he saw a goal scored with the ball!
Leicester City took a corner kick, Lin Mo cleverly got rid of the defender, jumped high from the penalty spot, and headed the ball with a powerful header!
【Million-ton header!
The powerful header made goalkeeper Tom Heaton a little overconfident and unprepared!
He caught the ball with both hands, but felt the power of the wild coming from his hands! He almost flew backwards!
The football also crossed the goal line and went into the net! The surrounding Burnley players looked at Lin Mo, as if they were looking at a monster!
Their eyes were full of fear!
Leicester City secured the victory 2:0!
The powerful goal completely ignited the King Power Stadium!
After scoring the goal, Lin Mo also ran to the sidelines and made a Hulk-like gesture to the camera.
Sky Sports commentator Jim Beglin exclaimed:
"7 games, 10 goals! Lin Mo is like the Hulk, destroying the entire Premier League!".
