Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 80

The full name of West Bromwich Albion is "West Bromwich Albion Football Club". Is a founding member of the Football League.The home court is Hawthorn Stadium.

The Hawthorns Stadium is West Bromwich Albion's all-seat football stadium, which can accommodate 26 spectators. It has been the home stadium of West Bromwich Albion since 500 and is the last English Football League stadium built in the 1900th century. .

West Brom's nickname comes from absolutely nonsensical: the reason why they are called "bloomers" or "big trousers" is because their original trousers were extremely fat, but the equipment more than a century ago was still very crude, which is understandable.But over time, the nickname spread.

10月31日15:00，2015/16赛季英超联赛第11轮西布朗和莱斯特城的比赛马上就要开始了。

Sitting on the visiting team's bench, Zhang Mai was filled with emotion as he looked at the relatively small Hawthorn Stadium. There were not many fans from Leicester City who came with the team, and more than 2000 pure blue fans were a little bit embarrassed by the home fans surrounded by black and white swords. decline.

Zhang Mai knew that in August 2016, Huaguo businessman Lai Guochuan would wholly acquire West Brom, making West Brom the first Premier League club controlled by Huaguo Capital.

In July 2017, Zhang Yulin, a 7-year-old Huaguo player, will be transferred from Eredivisie Vitesse to West Brom. After signing for 20 years, he will be loaned to Bundesliga Werder Bremen. Then in June 5, Zhang Yulin will end early Two-year loan period, returned to West Brom and was continued on loan to other European teams.

Why?One is due to the labor certification system of the Premier League, and the other is that Zhang Yulin, who is at the level of League One, has not made great progress, and it is difficult to obtain the main position in the five major leagues.

It is precisely because there are thousands of people like Lai Guochuan who are thinking about Huazu, Huazu will always keep a real fire waiting for its rise. The same is true for Wu Lei's transfer to La Liga. Being able to play frequently in La Liga, do you dare to say that there is no bonus from the Chinese boss?
As the person who vowed to ignite the fire, Zhang Mai is naturally willing to do his best to help Huaguo players like Zhang Yulin and Wu Lei who have jumped out of the mud and struggled overseas alone.

Not to mention Zhang Mai's ups and downs here, the big screen on the sidelines has already displayed the teams of both sides.

West Brom beat Norwich City 1-0 in the last round, winning 2 consecutive league victories.West Brom did not play in the League Cup in the middle of the week, and the team got a good rest.

Leicester City beat Crystal Palace 1-0 with Vardy's goal in the last round. Leicester City and Hull City fought hard for 120 minutes in the League Cup in the middle of the week, and finally lost to their opponents in the penalty shootout. The main players consume a lot of physical energy.

本赛季莱斯特城还没有在客场输过球，战绩是2胜3平。狐狸军团最近8个联赛客场4胜4平不败，上一次客场输球还要追溯到今年3月。

In this campaign, Leicester City's main left-back Fuchs and Okazaki Shinji took turns to sit on the bench like Zhang Mai, replaced by Schlupp and Ulloa.

West Brom continued to line up the striker combination of Rondon and Berahino, Fletcher and Jacobs in the midfield, Sessegnon and McLean flying on both wings, Macaulay and Evans guarding the defense.

Zhang Mai doesn't know most of the West Brom players. He only has some impressions of veteran midfielder Fletcher. This midfielder from Manchester United is 31 years old and is now the captain of the Scottish national team. Fletcher is tall and leggy Chang's characteristics are similar to those of French midfielder Vieira. He is not good at dribbling or quick breakthroughs. Instead, he is good at assisting the team in organizing offense and defense, and coordinating offensive and defensive balance in the middle.

The game officially started, West Brom took advantage of the home court to attack aggressively, and Leicester City fell into the predicament of full defense for a while.

"Leicester City is still considered to be a poor team with good luck, and even West Brom wants to take a bite!"

Zhang Mai couldn't help sneering, as long as he is willing to attack, he will always have to sacrifice part of his defense, and wait for the young master to come up and deal with you!
"Zhang Maijun, do you think our Leicester City is very strong?"

Shinji Okazaki was a little puzzled. The Japanese who came to the Premier League for the first time have not yet fully understood the strength and situation of the Premier League teams. The impression they got from the coaches and teammates was "We are a weak team, and our goal for the season is to avoid relegation."

"Shinji Okazaki, please remember what I said, Leicester City is now a top-notch team in the Premier League, plus I, Zhang Mai, are invincible and invincible!"

Zhang Mai stared seriously at Shinji Okazaki's little confused eyes, and said word by word.

"Zhang Maijun, I remember, we are the strongest team in the Premier League, I will work harder!"

Okazaki Shinji's eyes gradually became firm.

Within a few minutes of the two talking, Leicester City, which had been passive at the beginning, gradually regained its disadvantage, and the scene returned to a [-]-[-] situation.

In the 7th minute, Drinkwater made a cross, and Albrighton's right-footed attack from the left side of the penalty area was blocked by West Brom's central defender.

A few minutes later, Leicester City made a comeback again. This time it was Albrighton passing the ball. Vardy left-footed low shot in the penalty area was pounced by West Brom goalkeeper Myhill, and the ball hit the door frame and popped out!

In the 20th minute, Mahrez made a 45-degree pass from the right, and Ulloa overwhelmed the opponent's central defender in the penalty area and missed the goal with a header.

In the 21st minute, Vardy ferried the header, and Albrighton missed a long shot with his right foot in front of the penalty area.

In the 23rd minute, Albrighton made a cross, and Mahrez's left-footed attack from far was blocked.

For a while, Leicester City turned away from the guests and played wave after wave of offensives, causing the home team to be in a state of turmoil in the penalty area. However, due to the impact of the midweek League Cup game, the Leicester City players were generally tired and lost their previous strength. The characteristics of fast and precise, the movement also appears to be a little slow.

This is the negative consequence of Ranieri's smallholder thinking. I can't believe that the team can do a lot in the league, so the league and cup games are caught, and I don't think about Leicester City's weak substitute camp. Fortunately, both the FA Cup and the League Cup were eliminated. !
Zhang Mai couldn't help complaining about "Tinker" in his heart.

The exhausted Leicester City generals failed to continue the offensive. West Brom desperately resisted for a while, and began to counterattack amid the roar of the head coach.

In the 30th minute of the game, the 31-year-old Benin forward Sessegnon made a corner pass. Leicester City central defender Huth failed to mark the man. West Brom forward Rondon scored a beautiful header in the penalty area. West Brom home 1 -0 lead, this is the Nigerian striker Rondon scored two consecutive games.

The Leicester City generals who fell behind in the score woke up like a dream, and began to fight back against the huge boos of the home fans.

In the 34th minute, Drinkwater's long-range shot from the outside was blocked. Then, Huth headed the ball and Vardy's right-footed attack from 24 yards was blocked by the West Brom defender.

In the 40th minute, Mahrez made a cross, and Ulloa's right-footed attack from the center was blocked by goalkeeper Myhill.

In the 45th minute, West Brom counterattacked, Sessegnon passed the ball, and McLean's left-footed long-range shot from the outside went slightly wide of the goal post, almost expanding the score.

At the end of the first half, West Brom temporarily led 1-0 at home. The home fans cheered and celebrated in the auditorium, as if the whole game had ended.

Sitting on the bench, Zhang Mai was also abused by the home fans behind him. He was so angry that he was about to scold back when he was young and energetic, but Shinji Okazaki dragged Zhang Mai back to the locker room, and the others Everyone accepted Ranieri's arrangements for the second half.
