Chapter 55

Leicester City is playing against the Sunderland team at their home stadium, the King Power Stadium. The King Power Stadium, which can accommodate 32 spectators, is full today. The classic all-blue covered the audience, completely drowning out the few Sunderland red and white sword-striped shirts.

The visiting team, Sunderland, is an old English football club founded in 1879. Its home court is located at the Stadium of Light on the banks of the Weir River in Sunderland, in the northeast of England. Basically, it is also a team that has to be relegated every year.

There are also many world-class stars in the team, such as Jermain Defoe and O'Shea from Manchester United, from Serie A. The current Jacherini, Kabul and Larson, but most of them have passed their peak period.

Leicester City has a more reasonable age and greater potential. The only loss is that a few little monsters have not yet become famous, and the tinker Ranieri is not optimistic for the time being.

……

"The home team should have won alone today, but I can't remember the final score, it's boring!"

Zhang Mai huddled in the corner of the canopy of the bench, withdrew his eyes from the field, and turned his mind to his own affairs.

Zhang Mai met Jian Jian before the game, and learned from Jian Jian that China TV will broadcast Leicester City's game today, tens of millions of eyes in China will pay attention to his performance, and his agent Crott also came, with great powers The Germans got today's box tickets and invited the third uncle and his wife from Liverpool to enjoy Zhang Mai's debut.

Zhang Mai's pressure is a bit high, but what's the use if TM can't play?
Let's take a look first, and think of a solution if there is no play in the second half!

"Hello audience! I'm Huang Tao."

"Hi everyone, I'm Zhan Jun."

"Welcome everyone to watch today's Premier League first round match between Leicester City and Sunderland at home. Before the game starts, I would like to report some good news to you. China Television has purchased the copyright of this season's Premier League. Please listen every day. Follow the China TV Sports Channel on weekends.”

"Stay tuned!"

"Okay! Let's get down to business now. Let's take a look at the starting lists of both sides. Leicester City's starters are..."

"Attentive viewers may have noticed that Chinese teenager Zhang Mai did not appear in the starting camp of Leicester City, which may be related to his age."

"As we all know, Zhang Mai is not yet 17 years old this year, and Italian coaches have always been traditional and steady. In the consideration of the lineup for the first game of the season, Zhang Mai's age has suffered a lot."

"But our reporters in front of us have personally obtained the promise from the top management of Leicester City, and Zhang Mai will definitely appear in this game."

"Let us look forward to Zhang Mai's debut in the noisy and lively King Power Stadium!"

"Now the camera has turned to Zhang Mai on the bench, let's see how Zhang Mai is on the sidelines..."

The two commentators were also able to break up, and even talked about Zhang Mai's inability to play.

When the camera turned around, Zhang Mai in the corner of the bench was reflected on the screen. Zhang Mai, who was wearing a hoodie to keep a low profile and not to provoke nympho, looked very calm. The silver hairband on his forehead was even more dazzling, matching the white jade-like The matching faces set off a special sense of loneliness and melancholy, and I don't know how many girls in front of the screen have broken their hearts.

The two commentaries are out of words. As a sports commentary, you can't exaggerate how beautiful you are!
In the camera, Zhang Mai suddenly smiled, and high-fived his teammates who came over, illuminating the screens of the audience in Huaguo like spring water.

"Okay, the referee's opening whistle has blown, and the game has begun!"

The two manly commentators were a little jealous, and quickly turned the scene to the green field.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams were slowly testing each other's defensive strength, and immediately turned to defense when the offense was frustrated. and cautious.

Ten minutes into the game, Shinji Okazaki's breakthrough on the left was tackled by Sunderland's right back Van Aanholt, and Leicester City won a free kick in the left front field.

Albrighton in the midfield stood in front of the ball, and Leicester's two tall central defenders, Morgan and Huth, also ran into Sunderland's penalty area to compete for the top, attracting Sunderland's two central defenders to mark.

After the referee blew the whistle, Albrighton kicked a straight ball with his left foot. Vardy, who was not very tall, jumped forward like a civet, and succeeded with the header, 1:0!
The King Power Stadium was boiling, the audience chanted Vardy's name, and the pure blue Leicester team flag was flying all over the stadium. Vardy scored his first goal of the season and was so happy that he ran over half of the stadium, and finally ended with a front somersault .

Zhang Mai and his substitute teammates rushed to the sidelines to celebrate together, feeling happy that the team took the lead. Zhang Mai sincerely wished his teammates on the field to kill and make the rest of the game a garbage game as soon as possible, so that he can play early.

Zhang Mai’s sincere prayer moved the heavens. In the 18th minute of the game, Leicester City scored again. Mahrez received a cross from Albrighton’s left and nodded in the penalty area. 2:0!
The King Power Stadium roared with cheers again, and Zhang Mai continued to pray...

Zhang Mai's prayer came true again. Leicester City completed the third goal in 25 minutes. Mahrez was pulled down by Sunderland's left back Jones in the penalty area. Mahrez scored twice with a penalty kick created by himself. , 3:3!.

The Leicester City fans in the King Power Stadium are all crazy. It has been a long time since their team has such an amazing performance. It is completely crushing the opponent!

Zhang Mai also got up for the third time to celebrate with his teammates, and he was relieved. Looking at this trend, the entire second half will become garbage time.

The two teams did not score in the last 10 minutes of the first half. During the intermission, the main players went to the locker room, and a few substitute players stayed on the field to warm up. Zhang Mai showed up in short clothes, which still attracted the attention of female fans in the stands. Cries of enthusiasm.

Zhang Mai is not very happy, the proportion of women in the fans is very small, how can the hundreds of thousands of female voices shouting be as powerful as the overwhelming momentum of the fans in the audience!

At the beginning of the second half, Ranieri, who was stable, did not make any substitutions, and still started the game. Zhang Mai had to start praying for two more goals from his teammates.

In the 60th minute of the game, Sunderland veteran Defoe calmly pushed after receiving the ball in the penalty area, 3:1! Sunderland pulled back a victory.

Zhang Mai was so startled on the sidelines that his heart "thumped", and he began to worry about gains and losses. If Sunderland started chasing points, Ranieri would never let him play.

Fortunately, the players of Leicester City did not lose their courage and continued to attack Sunderland. In the 65th minute, Albrighton, who had assisted twice, finally scored a goal in the penalty area, 4:1!Leicester City completely sealed the victory.
