Chapter 80: Powerful Chelsea

S-level Gianfranco Zola, a former Italian star and excellent striker, was selected as the greatest player in Chelsea's history.

In the high-confrontation rhythm of the Premier League, what can a small offensive player do? Zola proved everything with his strength. He made his debut in Naples and once played with the King of Football Maradona and was deeply influenced by the King of Football. There, more important than winning the Serie A championship and the Italian Super Cup championship was to understand the true meaning of the King of Football's football philosophy. He has performed well in Serie A and the Italian national team. However, the most amazing football experience was at Chelsea. Even though he joined the Blues at the age of 30, he still conquered the Blues fans with his outstanding performance. In Zola's first year at Chelsea, he helped the team win the FA Cup after an absence of 26 years. Chelsea jumped from an unknown mid-stream team to a super powerhouse with superior strength. The next year, they continued to work hard and became the champion of the European Cup Winners' Cup in the 97-98 season. He has been playing steadily and performing well in Chelsea, and was gloriously elected as the English Footballer of the Year. His No. 25 jersey in Chelsea was also sealed forever because of Zola.

Xia Xing is very clear about Zola's deeds.

But to be fair, Zola's achievements are actually inferior to those of Henry, Vieri and other players who are also S-level.

The reason why the system defines him as S-level may be because of his great contribution to Chelsea.

"Xia! What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, nothing, a little distracted."

Drinkwater kicked the ball over and pointed at Mourinho on the sidelines with a smile.

"Why, you chatted with him for a few words and you were distracted? It seems that you are interested in joining Chelsea."

"Stop it, okay, I'm going to..."

Xia Xing stopped halfway and didn't say anything.

I'm going to return to Manchester United next season.

Can I say that now?

Now I have been regarded as the offensive core of the team, and the whole team is looking forward to my leading the team to create greater miracles.

Are you saying something to back off?

Not appropriate.

Thinking of this, Xia Xing passed the ball back: "It's not easy for us to play this game, it depends on your performance, the midfield metronome."

"Haha! I like this position!"

In fact, in this Leicester City lineup, Drinkwater is really the midfield metronome.

He is not only a defensive iron gate, but also has good passing skills.

He is the initiator of the offense and controls the offense and defense rhythm of the whole team.

Although Xia Xing is the core of the offense and is very important, and Mahrez is also a sharp knife-type figure, Drinkwater still plays a big role.

Leicester City players chatted while warming up, and the Chelsea players not far away did the same.

Hazard dribbled the ball easily: "We can play this game casually, and we can win no matter what."

Eto'o also agreed: "That's right, I'm not interested in opponents of this level at all."

Ashley Cole quickly raised his legs on the spot: "The coach is too conservative. For opponents of this level and such a well-organized lineup, I would just let the youth team play. Anyway, they will definitely win. They are just a Championship team."

"That's right, hahaha!"

Many Chelsea players did not take Leicester City seriously and looked down on this opponent.

But Lampard frowned: "Guys, this game is not that simple. In the League Cup some time ago, Manchester City was almost overturned by Leicester City. You know, Manchester City also sent many main players, but there was almost an accident. We must not take it lightly."

Captain Terry also nodded seriously: "That's right! Everyone must face it seriously and must not be careless!"

After the two captains spoke, everyone stopped talking.

But even so, most Chelsea players still did not take it seriously.

We are going to attack the giants who have won four championships. Who cares about Leicester City?

Both sides finished warming up and returned to the locker room.

The game is about to start.

In the live broadcast room, the commentator is introducing the starting lineups of both sides.

"Today Chelsea changed the previous 4-5-1 formation and changed to 4-3-3.

"Goalkeeper Schwarzer,

"The four defenders from left to right are Ashley Cole, Gary Cahill, Terry, and Ivanovic,

"The three midfielders are Lampard, Matic and Oscar,

"The three forwards are Hazard, Eto'o and Schurrle.

"On the bench sit Ramires, William, Demba Ba, Mata, Torres, Mikel and many other players.

"It seems that Chelsea's tactical thinking in this game is very clear, that is, attack.

"Many people say that Mourinho only knows how to defend, which is absolutely prejudice.

"When he was coaching Real Madrid, his team's offensive was fierce, often overwhelming the opponent.

"Today, facing a team from the English Championship, Mourinho wanted to use offense to break down the opponent.

"And Chelsea did not line up a substitute lineup today,

"Most of the players are the team's starting main force,

"It can be seen that Chelsea attaches great importance to this game,

"It seems that Leicester City is in big trouble today.

"Leicester City still used the familiar 4-4-2 formation in this game.

"The starting goalkeeper is still the stable Schmeichel,

"The four defenders from left to right are De Laet, Konchesky, Wes Morgan, Liam Moore,

"The four midfielders from left to right are Xia, Andy King, Drinkwater, and Mahrez,

"The two forwards are Vardy and Chris Wood.

"On the bench sit Lloyd Dale, James, Conokate, Schlupp, Hammond and other players.

"After a wave of consecutive victories, Leicester City's winter newcomer Mahrez has secured a starting position,

"In the past few games, Mahrez has performed bravely,

"His sharp breakthroughs and accurate shots have become Leicester City's new magic weapon,

"The right side of this game will definitely be Leicester City's key offensive area.

"However, today Leicester City will still use the two-wing flying tactics as before,

"It is unknown.

"They are good at fast breaks, but the Portuguese team on the opposite side is better at fast breaks,

"No matter what the tactics of the two sides in this game, the competition will definitely be offensive efficiency and error rate,

"I believe this game will be very interesting,

"Let's wait and see!"

At this time, the players of both sides have entered the field and taken their positions.

Vardy looked back at Xia Xing and Drinkwater.

Xia Xing nodded calmly, his expression firm.

Drinkwater waved his fist lightly.

Vardy looked at Mahrez on the right.

Mahrez also made an OK gesture, his face still full of arrogance.

Guys, let's follow the established plan in a while!

At the beginning, just score a goal!
