Green Journey

Chapter 191 Gunner Arsenal!
After the end of the third round of the English League Cup, the battle in the Premier League reignited. Leicester City's opponent in this round of the league is the Premier League giants Gunners Arsenal.

In order to fully cope with this game, Ranieri did not let Chu Zheng play in the Carabao Cup match against West Ham on September 9, but carried out a rotation.

It is actually not easy for Leicester City to win this game, it can even be said to be very difficult.

Without Chu Zheng on the field, Leicester City's offensive power dropped so badly that it was suppressed by West Ham United's offense for a while.

Fortunately, Kanter, who has conquered Ranieri with his excellent performance, is on the court.

This guy Kanter was very fierce in this game. He fought fires and raided around with Drinkwater, repeatedly disrupting West Ham United's offense. This helped Leicester City defend the score of 1-1. Eliminated West Ham United and advanced to the fourth round of the League Cup.

At 9:26 on September 14, London time, the crowd outside the King Power Stadium in the center of Leicester was gathering.

Today's game can be said to be the focus of this round of the Premier League, attracting the attention of many European media.

Leicester City's performance this season is too strong.

The Premier League has played 6 rounds so far, but Leicester City has achieved an excellent record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. It is only one point behind Manchester City and ranks second in the Premier League standings. Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Powerful teams such as Tottenham stepped on their feet.

It was so unexpected.

Although Leicester City successfully won 9 rounds in a row in the last 7 rounds of the league last season and staged a victory escape, this cannot conceal the essence of Leicester City as a relegation team.

Therefore, these media really want to know what made Leicester City undergo such earth-shaking changes.

Is the rookie coach Ranieri brought a new tactical system?
Or are the few players Leicester City signed this season working?
Especially the Chinese midfielder, which made these European media particularly interested.

At the beginning, when many English media heard that Leicester City bought a Chinese midfielder with 4000 million euros plus 2000 million additional clauses, they really felt that Leicester City's brains were eaten by foxes from top to bottom.

As media in the field of football, they are very familiar with football in every country.

And the answer to Chinese football in the hearts of these people is obviously no!
Many media reported on this transfer with the attitude of watching a joke.

As a result, I didn't expect this Chinese midfielder to behave so weirdly after the start of the Premier League, and it can even be said to be terrifying.

He only played 6 Premier League games and scored 6 assists and 3 Premier League goals.

If this is a data after the end of the season, it is very average.

But it was played in six games, which is very scary.

This means that the efficiency of this Chinese midfielder who has just turned 20 is terribly high.

Leicester City has played so far this season, counting the League Cup, they have played 8 games alone, but scored 22 goals.

This shows how powerful Leicester City's offensive power is this season, no less than those Premier League giants.

There is actually a more terrifying data hidden in this goal data.

That is Leicester City's 22 goals, 17 of which are directly related to the Chinese midfielder.

At 14:50, the live broadcast signal was connected to the studio of LeTV Sports Channel.

Sitting in front of the studio, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu saw Chu Zheng, who was lining up in the player entrance channel on the big TV screen, chatting and laughing with his teammates, and both of them would smile heartily.

"Welcome to the seventh round of the 2015-16 Premier League season brought to you by LeTV Sports, the match between Leicester City and Gunners Arsenal!"

As soon as Zhan Jun finished his opening remarks, the starting lineups of both sides appeared on the big screen.

Leicester City: 442
Goalkeeper: Schmeichel

Defenders: De Laet, Huth, Morgan, Schroop

Midfielders: Mahrez, Kante, Chu Zheng, Albrighton

Forwards: Shinji Okazaki, Vardy

Seeing that Leicester City played 442, Zhang Lu was immediately relieved.

He is really a little afraid that Ranieri will play some tricks again, playing some weird test formations.

"Let's take a look at Leicester City's starting lineup first..."

"Schumeichel, he..."

"The midfielder is Kanter and Chu Zheng!"

"I won't introduce Chu Zheng to everyone! Now he is the assist leader in the Premier League. In six Premier League games, Chu Zheng has 6 assists and 3 goals. This performance is crazy!"

"Hey!" Zhang Lu laughed, "Chu Zheng has been dominant in the last few games. I don't know if you have noticed that most of the 22 goals Leicester City have scored so far are born. Yu Chuzheng planned and organized the attack in the midfield!"

"The iron-clad facts prove that Chu Zheng is worth 6000 million, and Leicester City did not waste their money!" Zhan Jun answered cheerfully.

Zhang Lu nodded, and laughed again: "If Chu Zheng can maintain his current excellent state until the end of the season, then his worth will soon surpass that of his former teammate, De Bruyne of Manchester City."

After the words fell, Arsenal's starting lineup appeared.

Arsenal: (4231)

Forward: Theo Walcott

Attacking midfielder: Sanchez, Ozil, Ramsey
Defenders: Cazorla, Flamini

Defenders: Monreal, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Bellerin
"In the just-concluded third round of the Carabao Cup, Arsenal eliminated Tottenham 2-1, and the state is also very good!"

"Arsenal is also playing with all the main players in this game! Professor Wenger obviously also attaches great importance to this game!"

"It's impossible not to pay attention to it. The offensive power shown by Leicester City this season is terrifying!" Zhang Lu continued, "Although Arsenal have performed well in recent seasons, their problems have always been there, and their waist is not strong enough. !"

"Yes!" Zhan Jun answered with a smile, "and Leicester City's midfielder now has Chu Zheng who is both offensive and defensive. It can also be seen that this French midfielder is not simple."

"So Leicester City's midfield is very hard!"

“阿森纳目前的战绩是3胜1平2负，他们的揭幕战就在主场被西汉姆联打了个2-0！”

"The last round against Mourinho's Chelsea also lost 2-0..."

At 22 o'clock in the evening of BJ time, under the sharp whistle of the referee Paulson, the game officially started, and Leicester City also ushered in a test battle against a giant team this season.

"Okay, the game has started, Leicester City attack from left to right..."

On the court, many fans immediately noticed that the pace of the game was a bit fast after the game started, and it seemed that the rhythm of the game was about to attack.

Both Leicester City and Arsenal have shown a firm attitude to actively fight for the ball.

As long as the ball is not under one's own feet, the opponent's player with the ball will be chased, intercepted and robbed immediately.

Suddenly, the King Power Stadium burst into cheers. Although this rhythm is unfamiliar to Leicester City fans, they like to watch this kind of game.

In the 2nd minute of the game, Mahrez, who was on the wing in front of the center line, retreated and received a pass from the rib Kanter.

Mahrez didn't stop the ball here, and the Arsenal left back Monreal behind him pushed up along the sideline, forcing Mahrez to smash the ball back.

But what Arsenal want is not only to force Mahrez away, they also want to grab the ball.

When Mahrez brought the ball back to the center line, he was surrounded by Monreal, Arsenal's midfielder Cazorla, and Sanchez who retreated from the frontcourt.

Mahris is about to fall into trouble, but this guy's skills are really top-notch.

He suddenly smashed the ball and turned back before the Arsenal trio surrounded him.

Behind Mahrez, Monreal didn't follow very closely, but he was caught off guard and Mahrez stabbed the ball from his crotch.

Seeing that Mahrez was about to make a successful breakthrough, at this moment, Cazorla, who had always been on guard, quickly rushed over and snatched the ball with one kick.

After getting the ball, Cazorla immediately passed Ozil on the right front center line.

Kanter is also very fast here, but Ozil is very experienced, and he hit the ball across Sanchez standing on the sideline.

After Kanter missed the air, he continued to chase, and when he came to the ribs, he cut off the connection between Sanchez and the forward Monreal, forcing Sanchez to only move horizontally along the center line.

Chu Zheng had already taken his seat early at this time. He stood in his ribs, looked at Ozil, and at the same time waited for Sanchez to run in front of him.

At that time, whether it is Sanchez continuing to the middle circle or passing the ball to Ozil, he will be able to go up and flank Kanter with Kanter.

Before the game, Ranieri made it very clear that they must keep an eye on this German midfielder, because most of Arsenal's offensives in the frontcourt are organized and connected by this guy.

However, in the next second, Sanchez, who entered the rib area, suddenly passed the ball to the left with the inside of his right foot while running.

Chu Zheng actually noticed this hidden passing line, but he still failed to intercept it.

Sanchez passed the ball very fast, and he was so daring that he chose to go under his crotch, which caught Chu Zheng a little off guard.

On the defense line of Leicester City, Huth and Morgan stood almost parallel.

Huth was in the rib area behind Chu Zheng, protruding slightly forward, and he wanted to stare at Ramsey in front of him.

Seeing the ball coming, like Chu Zheng, he was a little caught off guard, and hurriedly stretched his foot forward to intercept, but the ball was too fast, so he just rubbed it.

At the same time, Morgan in the middle saw that Huth was a bit out of position, so he quickly turned around and retreated.

On the left back of Huth, Arsenal striker Walcott turned the ball around and rushed straight up.

In the blink of an eye, he used his speed to throw Morgan half a body away.

On the end line of the penalty area on the left side of the top of the arc, seeing Schmeichel press out, Walcott shot directly to the right side of the goal.

But the quality of his shot was terrible, and the ball went directly out of the baseline.

Seeing the ball qualify, the Leicester City fans in the stands were immediately relieved. They were really afraid that if they lost the ball at the beginning, the game would be difficult and they would be very passive.

Especially if you are playing against a giant team like Arsenal, once you push the offense aggressively, with the ability of the Arsenal players, the sharp pass and cut cooperation can definitely poke a big hole in their defense.
