Chapter 539 The Final Snow Battle!

Chapter 539 The final snow battle!

When we returned to London, it was already noon the next day.

Although the Chelsea players were still immersed in the excitement of the double defeat against Barcelona, their physical fatigue was visible to the naked eye. Conte could only comply with public opinion and announced that all the main players would have a day off and training would resume 24 hours later.

The weekend was originally the 31st round of the Premier League against Burnley, but due to a collision with the FA Cup quarter-finals, this round of the league could only be postponed.

On March 18, Chelsea, which has been heavily rotated, went to Leicester in the north-central part of England to prepare for a match against the Blue Foxes.

The head coach of the Blue Fox is Frenchman Claude Pierre (Puel) who took over halfway in October last year. After half a season of running-in, he took the team from the original 18th place to the current 8th place.

Ranked first and scored 34 points in 23 rounds, which is quite an ideal result.

As the battle for the top four spots in the Premier League becomes more intense, the Blue Foxes, who are ranked 8th, obviously do not have the strength to compete for the top four spots in the Champions League.

In fact, they are not even qualified to compete for the Europa League. They are 20 points away from fifth-place Tottenham. With only 8 rounds left in the league, they want to get tickets for the European war.

It’s already a fantasy.

Therefore, they have no hope of competing for the top four and have no worries about relegation. They truly have no desires and no demands.

Because of this, they can focus more on their preparations for the FA Cup and prepare to give Chelsea a big surprise!

Vardy, Iheanacho, Mahrez, Drinkwater, A. Silva, Ndidi, Albrighton, Maguire, Morgan, Schmeichel...all their main players

No one will appear in the starting lineup!

On the other hand, Chelsea, who had just experienced a fierce battle, could only send out Giroud, Remy, Golovin, Pedro, Cahill, Luis, Cristo, Zampacosta, and Caballero.

…

There are even two young players from the youth training, Mount and Ampadu, who were appointed to replace their senior brothers in the first team to play against the Blue Fox.

Lee Polo was wrapped in a down jacket, admiring the performance of his teammates on the bench with Hazard, William and others.

Yes, down jacket.

In mid-March, England actually ushered in a heavy snowfall, and the temperature suddenly dropped below zero. Chelsea, who was ill-prepared, encountered a big problem.

Although there is no way to brag about their skills in front of Barcelona, in the Premier League, Chelsea can still be regarded as a technical school. However, today they encountered such cold weather and the slippery turf the more they played, the players on the field simply could not

Can't perform to the level it should!

When the turf conditions are not suitable for ground advancement, Premier League teams will habitually begin to return to the most primitive tactics: long passes and lobs!

What's more, Chelsea still has a big center forward today: Olivier Giroud!

Then... they saw that Giroud, who was 193cm tall, was unilaterally beaten by Maguire in the opponent's defense due to his ability to header the ball!

It's no wonder that Giroud is now 32 years old, while Maguire has just turned 25. Their physical functions are not at the same level at all!

The two sides were playing high in the snow, and the football was flying over the King Power Stadium. The whole game looked more like a volleyball match...

In the 43rd minute, Chelsea finally got a chance. The cold-resistant Russian player Golovin suddenly sent a through ball. The football accelerated against the ice skate. Remy, who was swimming behind Giroud, successfully broke through Maguire's goal.

The defense zone caught up with the pass at the edge of the penalty area!

Maguire, who has strong physical fitness and excellent frontal interception ability, may have his biggest weakness in turning around slowly. Especially in this weather, he fell on the slippery turf before he could even turn 270 degrees.

Remy completed a blast before goalkeeper Schmeichel attacked!

1:0!

"Hahaha! Brother Polo, have you seen it? Hahaha..."

Remy, who opened the scoring, exerted too much force and slipped to the ground with a "clack", but he didn't feel it at all. Instead, he struggled to get up and prepared to rush to the bench to celebrate.

But as soon as he took a step, he couldn't help but frown, stretched out his hand to press the muscles on the back of his thigh, and then cursed through gritted teeth:

"grass!"

"Damn weather!"

Looking at the players in pain, Conte felt a faint sense of pleasure in his heart:

[God bless you, Lee Polo’s little brother, the mole in the locker room, you deserve to be hurt!]

As soon as this idea popped up, he immediately shook his head wildly:

[I am the head coach of Chelsea, how can I curse my players to get injured?!]

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. As the field conditions became worse, the players on both sides could only continue to fight high.

In order to stabilize the defense, Conte replaced Kante in advance in the 65th minute, making Chelsea's defense stronger.

In the 76th minute, Kanter intercepted in the middle, Golovin quickly separated, and Mount cut in from the left and shot, almost helping the team expand the score.

But the football he shot ended up in a mud puddle on the goal line, only 10 centimeters away from scoring!

Schmeichel, who escaped the disaster, kicked the ball out with a big kick. The football flew across most of the field. He was caught up by Vardy who was sprinting madly, and then dribbled the ball into the penalty area!

Vardy obviously learned from Mount's lesson and did not choose to shoot low. Instead, he rounded his right leg and fired directly, directly blasting away Courtois's fingers!

1:1!

The King Power Stadium burst into cheers, with more than 20,000 home team fans applauding Vardy's long-distance run.

There were even some passionate male fans who went shirtless and cheered for the team...

Then... they saw Lee Polo stand up from the bench.

The enthusiasm of the Blue Fox fans cooled down instantly. They put on their clothes silently one by one, and then hugged their shoulders tightly:

"F*ck, it's spring, why is it still so cold?"

Blue Fox coach Pierre couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He wanted to say something sincerely to Conte:

"You are a famous Italian coach. Don't be so serious about playing for a mid-range team."

"Li Polo is also an ordinary person. He also feels tired, right? Can you let him have a good rest?"

"Next week is the national team match week, can you save some fitness for the ace players of the England national team?"

Pierre thought for a while and finally realized:

"Mader, England's second opponent is Italy!"

"Kong Erluzi is consuming the opponent's strength in advance and saving the country through curves!"

"He is worthy of being the last head coach of the Italian national team!"

In the 83rd minute, Conte used up his last substitution, and Lee Polo came on to replace Giroud, who was doing nothing.

Leicester City retreated on all fronts, wanting to drag the game into 30 minutes of overtime, and even wanted to rely on a penalty shootout to decide the winner.

But Li Polo didn't let them get what they wanted.

After a few minutes of warming up, in the 87th minute, he received Mount's cross from the left.

He directly shouldered the tall Maguire and dropped his own blockbuster in the sky above the King Power Stadium!

2:1!

Lee Polo, who fell back to the ground, glanced contemptuously at Maguire, who was lying in the penalty area:

"Your header is still a hundred years away!"

Maguire looked up at him:

"Polo, we will report together at the national team's training base tomorrow!"

The contemptuous expression on Li Polo's face suddenly froze.

[Mader, you can’t have too much hatred on your national team teammates in the future!]

[Otherwise...what if Ma Datou gives me a kick during training?]
