Chapter 263: Rival in Revenge

On the evening of August 13, a grand celebration was held at the King Power Stadium!

Double Crown Celebration!

Shakespeare on the sidelines of the stadium couldn't stop laughing: "The 2015 Double Crown Celebration came earlier than before."

He was right.

In the summer of 2014, Leicester City successfully promoted to the Premier League and became the champion of the English Championship.

And they also won the FA Cup, adding double crowns.

The double crown celebration ceremony at the end of the season is an extremely classic carnival in the hearts of countless Leicester City fans.

Unprecedented.

But unexpectedly, just one season later, on June 1, 2015, International Children's Day, their beloved team actually became the triple crown!

FA Cup champion!

League Cup champion!

Europa League champion!

In fact, some people say it is a quadruple crown.

After all, they also won the Community Shield.

But no matter what, the celebration ceremony was also held at the end of the season.

But unexpectedly, just two months after the last celebration, Leicester City's celebration is here again!

And it's a double champion!

Especially this European Super Cup championship, it's full of gold!

This is a duel between the Champions League champion and the Europa League champion, and the winner is given the title of the strongest team in Europe.

And now, this title belongs to Leicester City!

Ranieri was smiling on the sidelines, cheering with the players and fans.

At the beginning of the Premier League, such a celebration was extremely inspiring.

However, Ranieri had a headache for the next league.

After playing the European Super Cup on August 12, returning to the King Power Stadium for a celebration on August 13, and the second round of the Premier League started on August 15.

This intensive schedule put a lot of pressure on Leicester City players.

Especially the distance is too close, the players' physical fitness cannot be guaranteed.

However, Ranieri did not hesitate and decisively rotated on a large scale.

In his season arrangement, large-scale rotation is a must.

Although Leicester City was successful last season, Pearson did not make too many rotations due to insufficient depth of the lineup.

Finally, in the second half of the season, they gradually lost their position and lost the top four in the league.

If they had not won the Europa League in the end, they would have lost their Champions League qualification this season.

Now, from the beginning of the season, Ranieri has begun to rotate the team to a certain extent.

On August 15, at the London Olympic Stadium, Leicester City challenged West Ham United away.

Last season, West Ham ranked 12th in the league, which was a mid-level level.

However, this season started well, defeating the powerful Arsenal in the first round.

A 2-0 beat the Gunners without temper.

The forward trident of Sarat, Sakho and Payet showed strong control.

The three still started in this game.

And Leicester City fielded many substitutes in this game.

On the front line, Shinji Okazaki and Ulloa started.

The midfielders were Albrighton, Inler, Hammond and Xia Xing.

The back line was fielded with Ben Arouane, Fox, St. Leger and Vasilewski.

The goalkeeper is also Ben Hammer, the second goalkeeper.

Except for Xia Xing, all substitutes appeared!

Facing such a Leicester City, West Ham United can want more.

If we can't beat Leicester City's main team, can we beat their substitute lineup?

So from the first minute of the game, they attacked Leicester City's half.

This game was the first time Xia Xing wore the captain's armband.

In the absence of captain Morgan and vice-captain Schmeichel, he took on the responsibility of organizing the team.

Although many main players are absent, Leicester City's offensive power may decline, but their defensive strength is still solid.

Especially the midfield line.

Albrighton has excellent defensive ability and runs actively.

Although Hammond is a rough man, he has a hard defense.

Inler is also a tough guy.

With three midfield partners like this, Xia Xing's defensive pressure is not great.

And Okazaki Shinji and Ulloa on the front line are both forwards with a wide range of running.

They often retreat to the midfield to help defend.

In the first half, Leicester City held on steadily for 45 minutes.

However, without Vardy and Mahrez, Leicester City's attacking power obviously dropped a level.

In the second half, West Ham United continued to attack.

However, the closer they pressed, the bigger the gap behind them.

In the 78th minute of the game, Xia Xing suddenly kicked in the midfield, interrupting West Ham United's cooperation!

After a glance at the frontcourt, Xia Xing made another decisive long pass!

Looking for his Asian compatriots!

Okazaki Shinji received the ball steadily!

Sprinted quickly and volleyed at the edge of the penalty area!

The ball went into the net!

1 to 0!

Leicester City opened the scoring!

In this game, West Ham United's offensive trident attacked 12 times, shot on target 5 times, and scored 0 goals.

The Leicester City team attacked 7 times, shot on target 4 times, and scored 1 goal!

This data reflects the high efficiency of Leicester City!

In the end, they held on to the victory of one goal.

The substitutes perfectly fulfilled the task assigned by the head coach, winning the away game with three points.

A week later, Leicester City once again faced off in the third round of the Premier League.

Facing Tottenham at home.

This game was called a revenge battle by Tottenham fans.

In the Carabao Cup final last season, Leicester City defeated Tottenham and eventually made their opponent lose the championship.

So Tottenham fans are still unhappy until now.

After a wave of summer signings, Tottenham is strong.

The young Korean winger Son Heung-min and Cameroonian striker Ngiye were bought on the front line,

and Alderweireld, Weimo and Trippier were introduced on the back line.

There is also the talented young player Ali who returned on loan and is in great form.

There are also players such as Harry Kane, Vertonghen and Kyle Walker in the original lineup.

Tottenham has indeed made great progress in strength.

They are still looking forward to a breakthrough this season.

However, facing Leicester City, who played with all the main players, they still encountered trouble today.

Just five minutes into the game, Leicester City opened the scoring!

A wonderful midfield steal, Kante intercepted Ryan Mason's pass!

Knocked to the right!

Mahrez received the ball and sprinted with the ball!

He shook off two defenders in a row!

In the corner of the penalty area, he volleyed the ball!

The ball went straight into the upper right corner of the goal!

1-0!

Leicester City scored the first goal at the start!

But soon, Tottenham equalized the score.

Taking advantage of the corner kick opportunity, Trippier's corner kick accurately found Harry Kane.

Kane headed the ball!

The ball hit the net hard!

1-1!

Just when Tottenham rekindled the war, Leicester City gave them another wake-up call!

In the 27th minute of the game, Xia Xing and Vardy reappeared the classic connection!

A long pass, Vardy sprinted with the ball!

Facing the double defense of Vertonghen and Kyle Walker, Vardy directly broke through the two people's defense with speed!

Scored the net with a single knife!

2-1!

Leicester City led the score again!
