Mourinho led Lu Chenfeng, Ranieri led Vardy, and the four appeared here, accepting questions from reporters before the game.

"Mr Mourinho showed his confidence in the result after the last game."

A reporter threw the question to Ranieri and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Ranieri thinks about this?"

The white-haired Ranieri sat on the stool and smiled softly.

In fact, he has always been a relatively low-key coach, and he did not dare to talk big words in the media.

Last season, when the team occupied the top spot until the last period, he said that the team should strive for the Premier League championship as much as possible.

"There is no doubt that Manchester United are a strong team and Jose Mourinho is a top manager in the world."

"But in this format, I think there's a lot of uncertainty and there's a lot of opportunity for our team."

"It will be great when the results of the game come out."

Ranieri maintained his humility, but the trace of desire revealed in the depths of his eyes still couldn't be concealed.

In this kind of single-game championship game, is Leicester City really a small champion?

He doesn't think so.

"Then...Mr. Vardy."

The reporter continued to ask questions, but threw the question to Vardy next to Ranieri.

"As a super striker who scored 24 goals in the Premier League last season, do you have confidence in today's confrontation with Lu Chenfeng, a rising star?"

"According to the current situation, Mr. Lu Chenfeng will also directly participate in the competition for the Premier League Golden Boot."

"Today is your first fight."

Vardy glanced at Lu Chenfeng who was sitting not far from him from the corner of his eye, and raised his eyebrows slightly before making a sound.

"I haven't watched him play yet, but I've heard some of his fame, including the hat-trick on his Premier League debut."

"In general, I will go all out on the field and try to beat him with my experience and speed."

As a representative of inspirational figures in the football world, Vardy will certainly not admit defeat to any opponent.

Even in the face of Lu Chenfeng, who was very popular before the game, he still didn't mean to underestimate himself.

And this belief in not admitting defeat is the most important point that supports him step by step from the low-level leagues, and finally becomes the top scorer in the Premier League!

After digging first-hand information with Vardy and Ranieri, the press conference ended in a short time.

Mourinho and Lu Chenfeng's intentions were very simple. They felt that today was an easy game, so naturally there was no need to ask further questions.

After the press conference, the players and coaches all returned to their locker rooms, ready to warm up before the game.

Soon, wait until the warm-up is over.

Manchester United dressing room.

Mourinho stood in front of the tactical board with a rigorous and serious face.

Maybe in front of the media, he is a bohemian madman, but for the game, he has always been like this.

"Leicester City are very fast and the counter-attack is very sharp."

Mourinho pushed the blue pawns on the entire tactical board, and then pulled the red pawns back, "So I hope that players other than the double forwards can take on more defensive responsibilities."

"Rooney, Martial, especially the defense of the two of you on the wing, you must remember to recover."

"After we lose the ball in the frontcourt, we must launch a counter-robbery as soon as possible. If the counter-robber fails or there is no hope, it will be a tactical foul."

"Don't play too softly. This is a championship match, not a friendly match, okay?"

Mourinho pulled all the pieces on the tactical board back to their original positions, pushing the red pieces into the blue half.

Red naturally represents Manchester United and blue represents Leicester City.

"After talking about restraining their defense, let's briefly talk about offense."

"The same as the last game, we have to maintain a very strong pressing force in the frontcourt."

"The best thing is that Leicester City can't make a few attacks at all, and they can't make counterattacks. They can only go to their forwards."

"In this way, not only do we have more chances to score goals, but it also makes the defense stronger in disguise."

After listening to Mourinho's words, the faces of Rooney and Martial were slightly heavy.

As soon as this set of tactics came out, the pressure on the two of them on the wing today was great.

When attacking, you not only have to push out to give the opponent very strong pressure, but also have to retract when defending to prevent counterattacks.

Martial is still a little better, young and able to run.

Rooney is a little older, and he may be a little bit overwhelmed.

"Sir, in this case, you may have to prepare to replace me in the second half six to seven 10 minutes in advance. My physical fitness may be difficult to hold on."

Rooney vented to Mourinho, then adjusted his socks, with a determination to run to death within seven to 10 minutes.

As the captain of the team, when the team needs him, even if it is difficult, he has to do his best.

"no problem."

Mourinho nodded to confirm Rooney's attitude, and then talked about something else.

10 minute later.

Players from both sides walked out of the locker room and came to the player tunnel.

Today's caddies are a group of cute girls, Lu Chenfeng looks at their ignorant and yearning eyes, and feels a little spoiled.

He tugged at the ponytail of the girl caddy in the front row, then turned his head away, pretending it wasn't his fault.

After repeating it several times, the girl caddy also cleverly spotted him, and looked at him with a fierce expression on her face.

"Ha ha......"

Lu Chenfeng couldn't help being in a good mood, and laughed a few times.

No matter in his previous life or now, he has always wanted a girl.

It's just that he was busy with work in his previous life, and he is also busy with the team's journey in this life, so he doesn't have time for the time being.

After one or two seasons are over, his personal problems will also have to be considered.

Soon, following the referee's instruction, the players from both sides walked out of the players' passage leading the caddies.

At this time, Lu Chenfeng also observed the opponent's lineup.

When he was a fan in his previous life, he admired the Blue Fox's miraculous season for a while, and he knew a little about most of the players in the team.

At a glance, although two or three players have been poached by the giants, the general framework of the Blue Fox's main force is still there.

The Danish goalkeeper Schmeichel continued to fight on the front line, guarding the gate for the team.

The four players on the back line basically haven't changed much. Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fox, these four are all giants in their prime.

On the midfield line, Kanter's departure still hurts them a lot.

Derink Cowart appeared in the position of the midfielder, and the two midfielders were Andy King and Japanese Shinji Okazaki.

In the position of full-back, the combination of Mahrez and Moussa is quite good.

Especially Mahrez, who was originally thought to be the player most likely to leave this summer, but stayed in Leicester City.

At the forefront is still Vardy, whose strong personal ability allows him to be a single striker!

Generally speaking, this lineup is not bad, and it can compete for a place in the European competition in the Premier League.

But compared to the thickness of Manchester United this season, it is not enough.

We can only see if Ranieri has any special arrangements, or how the key players are.

Soon, Lu Chenfeng felt a very special feeling when he walked into the King Power Stadium.

It gives people a very fresh feeling, surrounded by plains, and there are no particularly high-rise buildings.

It looks like a golf course built on the edge of a small border island, very quiet and comfortable.

But it was here that the players of Leicester City completed the biggest miracle in team history last season.

It was in the middle of this King Power Stadium that they lifted the Premier League championship trophy high here, becoming the sixth team to win the Premier League championship.

"call."

Taking a deep breath, Lu Chenfeng focused all his attention on the game.

This game is relatively important, and every minute cannot be careless.

Because one conceded goal may make you miss a championship trophy!

In the arc of the middle circle, Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney and Leicester City captain Morgan stood here, flipping a coin to determine the starting right.

In the end, Leicester City won the ball in the first half of the game. Rooney could only shrug his shoulders and return to his own half with a slight regret.

"Beep!"

With the players on both sides looking forward to it, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Vardy drove the ball in the middle circle, and then rushed towards Manchester United's backcourt, waiting for the opportunity.

Manchester United's players quickly began to fulfill Mourinho's instructions and collectively suppressed the Leicester City half.

Their three lines are collectively linked, and each player has a clear goal and acts together.

After a few passes, Leicester City's passing became difficult.

After receiving the ball, their defensive midfielder Derink Cowart turned his head left and right and looked around, but did not find any point where the ball could be released.

"Right now, double-team him!"

Mourinho shouted from the sidelines, as long as this happens, it is the best chance to win the ball.

All the Manchester United players immediately narrowed the space around Derink Cowart, and finally surrounded Derink Cowart!

"boom!"

There was no other way, Derlin Cowart could only make a long pass and pass the ball forward.

Vardy is not a high center forward. The football was firmly taken down by Rojo and given to the full back Ashley Young.

Football fell easily into Manchester United's hands.

They played a few kicks in the back, and then the other full-back, Valencia, dribbled the ball forward.

Except for the two central defenders, all Manchester United players pressed forward, maintaining the number of eight offensive players in the frontcourt!

All fear comes from lack of vitality!

As long as they can hold Leicester City in half court, their counterattack advantage will no longer exist.

Vardy, the biggest threat, will also be unable to move an inch and will not get a few opportunities.

"Bang bang bang..."

Manchester United's players controlled the football in the midfield, trying again and again to attack Leicester City's goal.

At this time, the personal abilities of their players are revealed.

Every player has good possession of the ball and rarely loses possession.

Several exquisite small-scale cooperation also caused a burst of exclamation from the Expedition Manchester United fans on the sidelines.

Even though the players of Leicester City have a strong desire to attack, they just can't grab it, and there is no other way.

If you pounce too hard, you will easily lose your position and give your opponent a free kick.

If you don't rush, you can only watch and defend on the field in a mess.

They are now in a dilemma and can only follow the rhythm of Manchester United.

This is the gap in player ability!

On the sidelines, Ranieri, wearing glasses, put his hands behind his back, frowning and thinking about the team's tactics.

He is considering, if it continues like this, whether to use a high center forward and use simple long passes to solve the offense.

After thinking for a while, Ranieri felt that this method was feasible and asked the assistant coach to call the team's high center forward to warm up.

A striker combination of one high and one high can at least create a few opportunities.

It won't be like now, being pressed and beaten by the opponent all the time, without any chance to breathe, and there is no hope of shooting at all.
