Star Card System

First-class new player, this is Mourinho's evaluation of Kante.

Although he only watched him play for five minutes, Mourinho already felt that he had seen a defensive genius.

This is his favorite type.

A midfielder who covers a large area, has speed and body, and plays smartly.

The few interceptions at the beginning were very smart.

This kid is very good!

At this stage, Mourinho still had great confidence in the game and praised the opposing players with a smile.

This is a compliment from the strong to the weak.

But 45 minutes later, he couldn't laugh.

0-0!

Chelsea pressed Leicester City throughout the first half of the game.

As a result, there was no gain.

They were still stubbornly defended by their opponents.

This guy, no, these guys are amazing.

At first, it was Kante's wonderful performance that made Mourinho's eyes light up.

Then, Drinkwater and Kante's double defensive midfielder cooperation made Mourinho praise it endlessly.

And when Xia Xing joined the defensive camp, Mourinho was completely dumbfounded.

What kind of defense is this?

Leicester City originally had a 4-4-2 formation, but now it has become a 4-3-1-2!

Three defensive midfielders, Kante, Drinkwater and Xia Xing!

The three's defense is watertight!

Last season, Xia Xing also retreated to defend and formed a double defensive midfielder with Drinkwater.

But when the opponent has more offensive numbers, they are also difficult to deal with.

Especially the two wingers, there is a lot of pressure.

Now, with three defensive midfielders on the field, Xia Xing and Kante can roam around on the left and right sides without restraint, assisting the full-backs in defense.

Chelsea can't get an effective offensive opportunity at all.

Leicester City did it in the first half.

They successfully achieved Ranieri's tactical arrangement.

In the second half, Leicester City's defense continued.

Facing Chelsea's desperate attack, Leicester City still defended calmly.

With a score of 0-0, Chelsea was obviously more anxious.

Their defensive loopholes were also bigger.

Leicester City's two consecutive defensive counterattacks were destroyed by Terry who was in excellent form.

Courtois was in average form today. If it weren't for Terry, Chelsea would have lost the ball long ago.

But he was not worried about the starting position at all. After all, he was a genius who won the position battle against Cech.

But the good times didn't last long.

In the 75th minute of the game, Kante intercepted the ball and knocked it directly to the left side.

Beautiful!

Xia Xing was overjoyed!

This opportunity was excellent!

Without hesitation, he made a long pass to the Chelsea penalty area!

Vardy sprinted quickly!

This time Terry couldn't keep up!

The old Terry couldn't catch up with the fast horse in his prime!

Vardy received the ball and decisively shot into the far corner outside the penalty area!

Courtois made a difficult shot!

But he was still half a beat slower!

The ball hit the net!

1-0!

Leicester City opened the scoring!

Vardy rushed towards Xia Xing excitedly!

"Finally scored a goal, finally leading!"

"Man, you are great! Come on! We will definitely win in the end!"

Seeing Leicester City score the first goal, Mourinho was in a very bad mood!

He changed his troops and replaced several players with declining physical fitness, led by Terry.

On the Leicester City side, Ranieri also replaced Ulloa and De Laet with Inler and Fox.

The decisive move was to strengthen defense.

The formation also changed to 4-4-1-1.

A few minutes later, Mahrez was also replaced by Albrighton.

Albrighton went to the left, and Xia Xing went to the middle to have a freer position.

When counterattacking, he can choose to rush forward.

When defending, he retreated to the penalty area to form a five-back midfielder.

Kante, Drinkwater, Inler, Albrighton, plus Xia Xing.

Chelsea is really powerless to deal with such midfield defense hardness.

Even though Fabregas frequently shot from long range in the final stage and Hazard used various extraordinary skills, they still failed to score successfully in the end.

In the third minute of injury time, Xia Xing knocked down Fabregas with the ball.

This time there was still no foul.

But the referee blew the whistle.

"The game is over!

"In this highly anticipated game, Leicester City finally had the last laugh!

"They achieved a wonderful start!

"1-0 victory over the defending champion!

"Leicester City is still hot in the new season!

"Ranieri finally succeeded in revenge!

"Mourinho once said before the game that Chelsea's goal this season is all championships!

"But now, Ranieri told him - no chance!

"At least the Community Shield is gone!"

Alan Shearer's voice was loud, and Carragher next to him curled his lips.

"It's just a Community Shield, Mourinho still cares about this?"

"Tsk, if you lose, you lose, why are there so many excuses?"

"..."

"I'm still optimistic about Leicester City in the new season, they will definitely create a bigger miracle!"

Listening to the bickering between Alan Shearer and Carragher, the old partners in the live broadcast room, Leicester City fans were in a very good mood.

The familiar feeling of last season is back!

Leicester City, keep going in the new season!

After the game, I heard that something unpleasant happened in Chelsea's locker room.

Mourinho scolded the players, saying that they had no fighting spirit.

It is said that some players even talked back to Mourinho.

Anyway, it was a mess.

In the first round of the Premier League a few days later, Mourinho was in the spotlight again.

They were tied by their opponents at home, with a score of 2-2, and Mourinho was obviously very dissatisfied.

But what made him even more angry was the team doctor Eva.

Despite Mourinho's repeated reminders, she still forced herself to play and disrupted the rhythm of the game, which made Mourinho on the sidelines furious.

This incident became the starting point of Chelsea's bad season.

Or, perhaps the defeat of Leicester City in the Community Shield was the beginning of Chelsea's nightmare this season.

As a blue team, Leicester City is much luckier than Chelsea.

Ranieri won a championship trophy just after joining the team.

Although the weight is not so big, it is enough to make Leicester City happy for a long time.

You know, this is their defending Community Shield.

Last season, they beat Manchester City 3-2, and now they beat Chelsea 1-0.

The Leicester City coach was in a great mood!

In the locker room, the takeaway arrived soon.

"Authentic Italian pizza!"

"Hahaha! We like it!"

In the locker room after the game, a group of sweaty old men were chewing pizza.

This picture is very interesting.

"Man, why do I think the pizza in London is also delicious?"

"Of course, there are many more pizza shops here than in Leicester, so there must be delicious ones."

"Then let's win a few more away games and taste pizza from all over the country!"

"No, it should be all over the world!"

"Hahaha! That's right! Come on, brothers!"
