Chapter 20 Rich and Willful

Saturday is a carnival for all Leicester City fans.

Today, the team will win the first English Football Champions League title in team history after the game.

After a lapse of 10 years, once again reached the English Premier League.

The game will officially start at 12:15 noon, but from 8:[-] in the morning, excited fans have been waiting outside the King Power Stadium.

Because of winning the championship one round ahead of schedule, the FA decided to hold an awards ceremony after the game.

So the King Power Stadium closed the stadium for a rehearsal after the last round of matches.

At ten o'clock, the stadium officially opened, and many fans began to pour into the stadium and headed to the North Stand.

Also known as the "BMI Baby Aviation Family Stand", it can accommodate 5 spectators, most of which are benefits provided by airlines to passengers, mainly families.

The east stand and west stand are all enthusiastic fans with season tickets, and most of them are still outside the stadium, waiting for players to enter.

As for the West Stand of the main stand, it is provided for celebrities and distinguished members, which can accommodate 6 spectators, as well as 500 executive boxes, banquet halls, facilities for media and players, as well as ticket offices and team boutiques. location.

At 10:30, the Leicester City team bus appeared at the gate of the stadium, and the players got off the bus one by one to receive a tsunami-like welcome from the fans.

"we are the champion!"

This is the common aspiration of fans and players.

In the pre-match press conference, Pearson attended with Captain Morgan.

After answering about the tactics and deployment of this game, the reporters expressed their views on the team's signings in the summer.

In the first season of the newly promoted team, they all aimed at relegation, especially the Leicester City team, which has not entered the Premier League for 10 years.

Although the team's current lineup is complete, many players in the team have not participated in Premier League games. Facing a league with a higher level of intensity, summer signings have become the top priority.

Pearson put on silver-rimmed glasses, his face was very relaxed, and he said with a smile: "What I think now is that after winning the championship, I will go home and have a good meal and sleep. No one will bother me."

The humorous answer cleverly avoided the question of summer signings.

In fact, as early as the Leicester City team confirmed the promotion, Pearson started to sign the team.

He has never coached a Premier League game, and his heart is full of excitement when facing new challenges.

Now assistant Korek has collected the list of signings, and after the league is over, he will discuss this year's signing plan with the club's top management.

So, for now, he can't reveal anything.

Moreover, this year's World Cup is a stage for players to show their skills, and many potential players may be discovered.

When the team was warming up, the King Power Stadium was already full of spectators. They sang loudly, beat gongs and drums, and created a passionate atmosphere for the players.

It's just that on the rostrum in the West Stand, the team chairman has not yet arrived.

At 11:30 in the morning, after the warm-up, the players of both sides retreated to the rest area, followed by a simple opening ceremony.

It is simple, but it is not simple at all.

The club invited Pixie Lott, a famous domestic female singer-songwriter, to perform her song "Come Get it Now" on stage.

The largest dance team in Leicester City was also invited to the scene to cheer.

"Come Get it Now! (Come Get it Now!)"

In Pixie's chanting, all the fans responded in unison: "Premier League, here we come!"

This is just an appetizer, the bigger celebration will take place after the game.

As Pixie Lott sang perfectly, there was a booming sound over the King Power Stadium.

More than 32000 people at the scene looked up and saw a blue and white helicopter flying towards the sky above the stadium.

On the fuselage, you can clearly see a pattern with the Leicester City team logo printed on it. There is no doubt that this is the private jet of the club chairman Vichai Vichai.

This way of appearing on the stage is simply inhumane.

The wealthy Thai businessman with a net worth of US$49 billion bought the Leicester City Football Club in 2010 and brought the team back to the Premier League in just four years.

Without big-ticket signings and superstars, Leicester City has just stepped into the Premier League steadily.

If Pearson is the hero behind the Leicester City team, then the owner Vichai is the leader of the team.

The helicopter stopped in the middle of the field, and Vichai appeared in front of everyone with a smile on his face. It seemed that the protagonist today was not the players of the Leicesters team, but himself.

The fans of the home team burst into applause immediately, thanking the businessman for his contribution to the team.

Vichai, with a team scarf around his neck, walked to the rostrum together with female singer Pixie Lott amid applause.

After the actual main corner seat, at [-] o'clock at noon, players from both sides were already in the player tunnel, waiting to enter.

Kevin Phillips, leading the team into the field for the first time.On his left arm, he wears the captain's armband.

This is the last game of his career.

Pearson decided to let him complete the final battle as the captain.

This is also the most solemn curtain call for the former top scorer in the Premier League and Europe.

The opponent is Doncaster, who is ranked 21st. Behind him is Birmingham, who is in the relegation zone by one point.

If Doncaster loses this game, and Birmingham only need a draw, they can escape the relegation zone with the same points and a goal difference advantage.

In this game, Doncaster must go all out.

Facing the champion Leicester City, although the Doncaster team made concerted efforts, they did not dare to attack rashly after the start of the game. Instead, they used a five-back system to stabilize their defense.

Although they are under pressure, the pressure on the Birmingham team is not light at all.

The more critical the game, the more calm you must be, and don't make mistakes easily.

Different from the previous five-back system, among the five backs of the Doncaster team, there is a lagging central defender, which is completely purely defensive.

For the Leicester City team, the striker trident headed by Mahrez, Kevin Phillips and Nugent used the pull of the center to create space for the two wings.

But Doncaster's trailing central defender Tamash, after the opening, restricted Phillips from taking the ball very well. Because of his large lateral defensive coverage, he can also defend the two central defenders in time.

[Maybe due to the pressure of winning the championship, the players of the Leicester City team were a little nervous today, and they played cautiously. 】

[The result of the game itself can no longer affect the championship, but the team must use a victory to end a perfect season. 】

The excitement of the commentator is no less than that of the fans. Leicester City is eager to use victory to welcome the championship.

And the team owner came here today, and prepared a grand awards ceremony, and even entered the stadium by helicopter.

draw?

Where do you let the boss's face go?

But the more impatient, the more chaotic the rhythm of the team, losing its original operation.

Especially Nugent, who is very eager to score in the last game, adding a lot of weight to the contract extension.

The impatience is not only reflected in the scene, but also in the mentality of the players.

He didn't have enough patience to pass the ball, and he was eager to score a goal, which made him slightly insufficient in seizing opportunities and missed the goal.

Pearson also kept reminding them on the sidelines that they must hold their breath and seize the opportunity.

But the players who are eager to become the hero of the goal, all put the words of the head coach behind them.

At the end of the first half, Leicester City had a total of 12 shots and only 2 shots were on target. This data also reflects the mentality of the players.

Pearson had to make adjustments at halftime.
