Chapter 222 Headache Mourinho!
12月7日，随着埃弗顿1-1战平水晶宫，英超第15轮全部结束。

In this round of the league, the Premier League is really unpopular, and countless bettors in England have lost tears.

In the first game of this round, Stoke City defeated the mighty Manchester City 0-2 and broke the first super upset.

How can Manchester United, one of the Manchester City duo, fall behind.

Manchester United was beaten 0-0 by West Ham United at Old Trafford, another small upset.

After these two games, the Premier League big6 collectively made up.

Tottenham were tied 1-1 in stoppage time by West Bromwich Albion.

Not to mention Chelsea, external troubles and internal troubles, the conflict between the Portuguese madman and the club's top management is increasing day by day, and they are about to lose control of the dressing room, so they were beaten 1-0 by Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.

On Liverpool's side, Klopp, who was seriously troubled by the club's finances and aging team, also suffered his first fiasco after coming to the Premier League.

Klopp happily led the team to Newcastle United. He thought that the team could easily win the third-to-last Newcastle United, but the reality gave Klopp a fist and was pecked by the Magpies. 3-0 defeat and back.

No one knows what happened to these giants in the Premier League this year, and how their state became more and more depressed.

Although there is an impact of the European War here, it is not the real reason why these giants are in such a sluggish state.

So with the backdrop of many pig teammates, Leicester City, which has always occupied the top of the Premier League, finally entered the sight of the European people.

In 15 rounds of the league, 10 wins, 5 draws and 0 losses, accumulating 35 points, scored a total of 41 Premier League goals, but only conceded 17 goals.

And Leicester City is also the only team among the 20 Premier League teams so far that has not lost.

Coupled with that terrifying statistic, therefore, countless European fans who subconsciously ignored Leicester City before finally realized, darling!This really looks like a super dark horse rushing to win the championship!
So Leicester City has become the darling of the mainstream media in major European leagues.

Many fans in Europe saw that Leicester City, which was pushed to the forefront by the media, had the possibility of winning the championship. At first, many fans who didn't know much about Leicester City were curious.

But once they knew about it, the curiosity in the hearts of these fans immediately turned into scoffing!

Last season's last season, a civilian team that was almost relegated won the Premier League championship, what an international joke!
However, when they carefully read the Premier League standings, they shut up instantly.

Leicester City 35 points

Manchester City 29 points

Arsenal 28 points

Manchester United 28 points

Tottenham 26 points

West Ham United 23 points

Watford 23 points

Crystal Palace 23 points

Liverpool 23 points

Everton 22 points

Southampton 21 points

Stoke City 21 points

West Bromwich Albion 19 points

Chelsea 15 points

Swansea 14 points

Bournemouth 13 points

Newcastle United 13 points

Norwich 13 points

Sunderland 12 points

Aston Villa 6 points

……

Leicester City and the second-placed Manchester City have opened up by as much as 6 points, leading the giants in the Premier League. This is too bizarre for many people.

When was the last time a Premier League civilian club stepped on top of a group of giants, they had no memory at all.

Now it looks like Christmas is coming.

In the next 16, 17, 18, and 19 rounds, Leicester City's opponents will be Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, and Manchester City.

If Leicester City can defeat these four teams one by one and establish a sufficient point advantage, then Leicester City can not only win the Premier League half-time championship, but also look forward to the next Premier League championship.

In the 23-year history of the establishment of the Premier League, except for the three unlucky guys Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, those teams that won the half-time championship eventually won the Premier League championship of the season and successfully reached the top.

Although Leicester City's 15 rounds of unbeaten results are due to the fact that the schedule is too friendly and they have not encountered many wealthy teams, but it is undeniable that Leicester City is really strong.

Every fan who has watched the Leicester City game will not deny this!
For the hundreds of thousands of fans in Leicester City, the team's results also exceeded everyone's expectations, and it can even be said to be horrified.

At the beginning of the new season, the biggest expectation of Leicester City fans for the team is to continue to relegation and stay in the Premier League.

However, the reality is that Leicester City stepped on the top of all the giants in the Premier League and shit, and they are proud of the Premier League!
Some older Leicester City fans look at the Premier League standings like a dream!

But if it is a dream, please don't let them wake up, they are willing to stay in this beautiful dream until they return to the embrace of God.

Although everyone in Leicester City is aware that they have the hope of winning this season, everyone has suppressed this expectation in their hearts.

Because there are still 23 rounds of the Premier League waiting for them.

In this long six-month season, no one knows what to expect.

Maybe Leicester City can keep winning, or maybe they will be knocked off the top spot by a giant with a deep foundation in the second half of the Premier League.

In England, every fan knows the horror of the giant clubs!
Everyone has their own answer in mind!

Some people look forward to the birth of a miracle, but naturally there are others who despair!

……

On December 12, the flames of the Champions League were extinguished, and the 12th round of the Premier League was ignited.

This round of Leicester City will sit at the King Power Stadium to face the Premier League Blues Chelsea!
Since Chelsea just finished the Champions League group stage, their match against Leicester City was arranged by the FA on the 15th, which was also the last match of the 16th round of the Premier League.

With all the attention, on December 12th, this focus battle was long overdue!

At 18:30 London time, the buses of Leicester City and Chelsea drove into the King Power Stadium amidst the cheers of fans.

Chu Zheng got off the bus and followed his teammates to the locker room when he saw Mourinho standing at the corner with a smiling face and waving at him.

Chu Zheng froze for a moment.

He had nothing to do with Mourinho when he was at Chelsea, the two had never even met face to face.

In the youth training camp that year, although Mourinho occasionally came to see young players, Chu Zheng was never on Mourinho's inspection list.

Looking at this posture now, Mourinho seems to be waiting for him here on purpose.

Chu Zheng bit the bullet and walked over. After the two shook hands for a while, Mourinho left with a smile.

But Mourinho's smile that turned his head three times made Chu Zheng a little panicked, always feeling that this madman was playing tricks on him behind his back.

In fact, Chu Zheng was thinking too much, and Mourinho came here on purpose to get to know Chu Zheng.

For this game, Mourinho has a very headache!
He was the first person to discover Chu Zheng's talent, and he sent scouts to track him down for so long.

Therefore, he understood Chu Zheng's characteristics very, very well!

Mourinho knew very well that if he wanted to win this game, he had to limit Chu Zheng's performance in the midfield!

But here comes the problem!
How to limit!

For a world-renowned coach like Mourinho, this is also a big problem at the Olympic level.

If it is replaced by someone else, Mourinho will adopt a layered double defense, cut off the passing line around the player, isolate him and other restrictive tactics.

But he was not sure about applying these tactics to Chu Zheng.

For more than a year, Mourinho has seen Chu Zheng's progress, which can be described as fast.

Now Chu Zheng, passing the ball can be regarded as an excellent level.

Especially with the addition of Chu Zheng's terrifying vision, the through ball sent by Chu Zheng really tested the heart health of the spectators.

Even Mourinho in front of the TV would be terrified by the ornamental and frightening nature of Chu Zheng's through ball.

In addition, Chu Zheng's ability to dribble and propel is also stronger.

In addition, Chu Zheng also has unparalleled speed.

Therefore, it is really a headache for Mourinho to guard against Chu Zheng.

Mourinho once restricted Messi, but that was La Liga, and that was Barcelona playing pass-and-control football.

And this is the Premier League, and Chu Zheng is in Leicester City.

The two teams played in completely different tactical styles!
Chu Zheng has a very high degree of freedom on the court. With the special cooperation of his teammates, he can appear in any position on the court.

Therefore, even Mourinho didn't think of a good way to completely restrict Chu Zheng!
