The new season is coming.

Chapter 77 Two generations of overlords, winning the championship! [Please subscribe! ]

The draw at home by Brighton ended the great winning streak, which made the Leicester City players feel depressed.

After returning to the Belvoir base on the team bus, Pearson summoned all the first-team players to the tactical room and held a brief team meeting.

The players thought Pearson was dissatisfied with their performance on the field and were a little uneasy.

However, what they didn’t expect was that Pearson, who was always serious, smiled slightly and comforted them:

“Guys, don’t be so unhappy. Our performance this season is already good enough.”

“We broke the league’s winning streak, we also reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, and locked the promotion spot eight rounds in advance.”

As the head coach’s magnetic and steady voice echoed in the room, the uneasiness and depression in the hearts of the Leicester City players gradually subsided.

“This draw cannot negate the efforts and work we have made for most of the season!”

“So, don’t take it to heart, everyone go back and have a good rest!”

“Because I need you to stay focused at the last moment to ensure that we beat the opponent in the next game and win the league championship!”

Under the head coach’s words, the players’ mentality calmed down a little, and they seriously devoted themselves to preparations for the upcoming championship battle.

It is worth mentioning that Ling Feng also received his second Championship Player of the Month trophy during the training break!

Yes.

With his terrifying performance of four goals and nine assists in seven league games in March, Ling Feng helped Leicester City win seven consecutive victories and won the Championship Player of the Month in March without any suspense!

This is his second time to win the Player of the Month this season.

He is also the only player to win the Championship Player of the Month twice this season.

On that day, Ling Feng’s photo with a smile on his face and the Player of the Month trophy in his hand once again appeared on the front page of Leicester City’s official social media and local newspapers.

Many people believe that Ling Feng, who is only 18 years old, has already locked in the award of the Best Young Player of the Championship this season.

The only question is whether Ling Feng can be included in the list of candidates for the best player of the season?

Although Ling Feng’s personal data and team record are very explosive.

But his personal playing time is completely not comparable to other players who have played for most of the season.

Playing time is definitely one of the indicators for selecting the best player.

A performance of a god is definitely not as good as a stable and outstanding performance in many games.

After all, the league season is long, with dozens of games to play, and the stable performance output of the players is what the team needs.

In this regard, fans and professional football commentators are divided into two factions and started a discussion.

The supporters believe that since Ling Feng was promoted to the first team in January, except for rest, he has almost started every game.

The total league appearance time is close to 2,000 minutes.

Compared with other outstanding players, there are only a dozen games.

And his personal data is so outstanding, averaging one assist per game and scoring close to double.

From the efficiency of goal assists and various offensive data, he is far superior to other players and fully deserves the award of the best player of the season!

The opposition believes that no matter how good the data is, Ling Feng has only played for half a season.

This does not mean that he has the ability to play stably throughout the season and can continue to maintain such a high-light state throughout the long season.

Therefore, the best should be awarded to the player who has performed most stably throughout the season.

Neither side can convince the other.

Perhaps the answer can only be revealed when the EFL (English Football League) officially announces the candidate list at the end of the month.

. . .

Three days later.

Leicester City ushered in a crucial battle in the 42nd round of the league.

However, before leaving for the away game, they received good news:

In another game held earlier, Burnley unexpectedly lost to Middlesbrough at home 0-1!

This news was a bit unexpected, but it did not make the Leicester City players too excited or excited.

After all, whether Burnley lost this game or not, as long as they won the away game against Reading, they could win the league championship four rounds in advance!

It is worth mentioning that the opponent who determines whether Leicester City can win the championship in advance happens to be the former record holder of the English Championship winning streak.

The holder is the previous generation of the English Championship overlord – Reading!

Reading won the English Championship in the 2005-06 season and the 2012-13 season.

It also broke many English Championship records in the 05-06 season, such as the winning streak record, the most wins, home wins and league points.

This year, Leicester City has broken its two records of winning streak and the most wins in the league.

There are still five games to go, and it is very likely to break its 106 league points and other records.

This fateful duel can’t help but make people sigh.

Is this the replacement of two generations of overlords in the English Championship? !

Of course, Reading, who is only ranked eighth in the league and urgently needs three points to enter the promotion play-off zone, does not intend to become the background board for Leicester City to win the championship in advance.

However, just when they were planning to use their home advantage to teach the Foxes a lesson, they didn’t expect that Leicester City, who came to the Madejski Stadium as a guest, had no sense of being a guest.

As soon as the ball kicked off, the Foxes launched a surging offensive like a tide!

Every starting player on the field had only one idea in his mind:

Win the game!

Win the championship!

This league championship is the first championship in the careers of most Leicester City players.

Therefore, with a desire for championships and honors, the Leicester City players kept running on the field as if they had taken stimulants!

Originally, Reading’s lineup was one of the teams with the highest average age in the entire Championship League.

In addition, I didn’t expect Leicester City to be so fierce and attack so fiercely right from the start.

Unexpectedly, the old players in Reading couldn’t keep up with such a fast pace.

Just ten minutes later, Reading was scored by Leicester City:

“Mahrez got the ball on the right side”

“Nice pass!”

“Ling Feng inserted from the ribs!”

“Cross the ball without stopping!”

“Vardy!”

Under the gaze of 24,000 fans at Madejski Stadium, Vardy rushed to the front of the penalty area and gently touched the flying ball with the inside of his right foot!

In an instant, the ball changed its trajectory and flew straight to the far corner of the goal with a strong rotation.

The goalkeeper guarding the near corner of the goal had no time to react and could only watch the ball go into the goal from his feet!

And this was just the beginning of the goal feast.

In the 22nd minute, Vardy received Ling Feng’s through pass and successfully got offside. Facing the goalkeeper alone, he shot to expand the score;

In the 38th minute, Mahrez broke into the penalty area, created a penalty kick, and scored it himself, changing the score to 0-3;

When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, looking at the score displayed on the scoreboard, everyone knew:

Leicester City has won the Championship this season without any suspense!

There will be another chapter later!
