Chapter 77 Two generations of overlords won the championship! 【Please subscribe! 】
Being tied with Brighton at home ended the great winning streak, which somewhat depressed the Leicester City players.
After taking the team bus back to the Belvoir base, Pearson summoned all the players of the first team into the tactical room and held a brief team meeting.
The players thought Pearson was dissatisfied with his performance on the court and was a little uneasy.
However, what they did not expect was that Pearson, who had always been serious about words, smiled slightly and actually spoke to comfort them:
"Guys, don't be so unhappy. Our performance this season has been good enough."
"We broke the league's winning streak, and we also reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup. We also locked in the promotion spot eight rounds in advance.”
As the head coach’s magnetic and steady voice echoed in the room, the inner uneasiness and depression of the Leicester City generals gradually subsided.
“This draw cannot negate the efforts and work we have put in for most of the season!”
“So, don’t take it to heart, everyone go back and have a good rest!”< br>
"Because I need you to stay focused at the last moment to ensure that we defeat our opponent in the next game and win the league championship!"
Under the guidance of the head coach, the players' mentality has calmed down a little and they can devote themselves seriously. Get ready for the upcoming championship battle.
It is worth mentioning that Ling Feng also received his second British Championship Player of the Month trophy during the training break!
Yes.
With his terrifying performance of four goals and nine assists in seven league games in March, Lingfeng helped Leicester City win seven consecutive victories and also won the British Championship in March without any suspense. Best player!
This is the second time this season he has won Player of the Month.
And he is also the only player to win the Championship of the Month twice this season.
On the same day, the photo of Ling Feng smiling and holding the Player of the Month trophy once again appeared on the front page of Leicester City's official social media and local newspapers.
Many people believe that Ling Feng, who is only 18 years old, has already locked up the award for the best young player in the British Championship this season in advance.
The only question is, can Ling Feng be included in the candidate list for the best player of the season?
Although Ling Feng's personal data and team record are very explosive.
But his personal playing time is completely inferior to other players who participated in most of the season.
Playing time is definitely one of the indicators for selecting the best player.
One performance from the gods is definitely not as good as many stable and outstanding performances.
After all, the league season is long and there are dozens of games to be played. The stable performance output of the players is what the team needs.
In this regard, fans and professional football commentators were divided into two groups and started discussions.
Supporters believe that since Ling Feng was promoted to the first team in January, he has started almost every game except taking turns.
The total league playing time is close to 2,000 minutes.
Compared with other outstanding players, it is only a dozen games behind.
And his personal statistics are so good, averaging one assist per game and scoring close to double figures.
Judging from the goal assist efficiency and various offensive statistics, he is far superior to other players and fully deserves the award for the best player last season!
The opposition believes that no matter how good the data is, Ling Feng has only played for half a season.
This does not mean that he has the ability to perform stably throughout the season and to continue to maintain such a brilliant state throughout the long season.
So, the best should be awarded to the player with the most stable performance throughout the season.
No one on either side can convince the other.
Perhaps the answer can only be revealed when the EFL (English Football League) officially announces the candidate list at the end of the month.
. .
Three days later. Leicester City ushered in a crucial game in the 42nd round of the league.
However, before leaving for the away game, they received good news:
In another game held earlier, Burnley unexpectedly lost to Middlesbrough at home 0-1!
This news was a bit unexpected, but it did not make the Leicester City generals too excited or excited.
After all, no matter whether Burnley loses this game or not, as long as they win this away game against Reading, they can win the league championship four rounds in advance!
It is worth mentioning that the opponent that determines whether Leicester City can win the championship in advance happens to be the former British Championship winning streak record holder and the previous generation of British Championship hegemons - Reading!
Reading won the British Championship in the 2005-06 season and the 2012-13 season.
He also broke many records in the British Championship during the 2005-06 season, such as winning streak, most wins, home wins, league points, etc.
This year's Leicester City has broken its two records for consecutive league wins and the most wins.
With the next five games, it is also very likely to break the 106 league points it holds, as well as other records.
This fateful duel can’t help but make people sigh.
Is this the replacement of two generations of British Championship hegemons? !
Of course, Reading, who is only ranked eighth in the league and is in urgent need of three points to enter the promotion play-offs, does not intend to become the background for Leicester City to win the championship in advance.
However, just when they were planning to take advantage of their home court advantage to give the Blue Foxes a bit of a show, they did not expect that Leicester City, who came to the Madejski Stadium as a guest, did not have any guests. consciousness.
As soon as the ball kicked off, the Foxes launched an offensive that was as surging as a tide!
In the mind of every starting player on the field, there is only one thought:
Win the game!
Win the championship!
This league championship is the first championship for most Leicester City players in their careers.
Therefore, with the desire for championships and honors, the Leicester City generals kept running around the field as if they were on stimulants!
Originally, Reading's lineup is one of the teams with the highest average age in the entire English Championship.
In addition, I didn’t expect Leicester City to be so fierce and attack so fiercely from the beginning.
Unexpectedly, Reading's veterans were completely unable to keep up with such a fast pace.
Just ten minutes later, Reading was penetrated by Leicester City:
"Mahrez took the ball from the right"
"Beautiful pass. !”
“Ling Feng inserted it from the ribs”
"Cross the ball without stopping!"
"Vardy!"
Under the gaze of 24,000 fans at the Madejski Stadium, Vardy rushed to the penalty area Click, use the inside of your right foot to gently rub the flying ball!
In an instant, the ball changed its trajectory and flew straight to the far corner of the goal with strong rotation.
The goalkeeper guarding the near corner of the goal was unable to react in time and could only watch the ball go from his feet into the goal!
And this was just the beginning of the goal feast.
In the 22nd minute, Vardy succeeded in countering offside from Ling Feng's through ball, faced the goalkeeper alone, and expanded the score with a blast;
In the 38th minute, Mahrez entered the penalty area, created a penalty kick, and hit it personally, rewriting the score to zero to three;
When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half , looking at the score displayed on the scoreboard, everyone knows:
Leicester City has won this season's English Championship without any suspense!
There will be another chapter later!
