Chapter 208
The new season is coming.
The Guardian: Leicester City has gathered the other star they lost, which makes the Leicester City twins reappear in the Premier League.
After playing for Chelsea for one year, Li Lei returned to his old team Leicester City for 50 million euros, which marks the reappearance of the former twin star combination in the Premier League.
Vardy, who debuted with Li Lei, is still the leader of Leicester City. They once fought side by side and fought for Leicester City together.
Now Li Lei has chosen to return, so that the twin stars will join forces again.
For Leicester City, this is good news.
With a luxurious front line of two big stars, they will surely have the strength to rival the top giants.
Under the leadership of new coach Ranieri, winning the Premier League championship is no longer a fantasy.
On the road to revival, Leicester City will regain its former glory in no time.
The return of Oriental Pearl Li Lei has ignited the dream of winning the championship for this revived army.
They are complete again, ready to illuminate the journey under the blue moon with the light of twin stars!
In the face of the Guardian's praise for Leicester City's expectation of winning the championship, other Premier League giants do not take it seriously.
Leicester City, which was still struggling in the relegation zone last season, can dominate the Premier League this season. This is simply a pipe dream for other teams.
Manchester United players said bluntly: "One person alone cannot change the overall strength gap."
Chelsea goalkeeper also mocked: "I respect Li Lei, but winning the championship requires overall strength, not just one person."
Manchester City coach was even more ruthless: "The Guardian's remarks are too irresponsible, this is completely hype, just relying on a new player, talking about winning the championship is an insult to the strength of the giants."
The reporter then interviewed head coach Ranieri, hoping to hear his views on the Guardian report.
Ranieri responded with a smile: "That is purely media reports and interpretations, and does not represent the true thoughts of our team. Our goal this season is still very clear, that is, relegation."
"I welcome Li Lei's return very much, which will undoubtedly improve the team's strength, but compared with the top giants, we still have a gap and cannot belittle ourselves."
"In my opinion, our task is to gradually increase our strength and then go to relegation. Only by standing firm can we gradually move forward, which requires a process."
"Winning the championship has never been a dream that can be realized in one season."
"We must be down-to-earth and maintain a humble attitude. Only in this way can we go further."
After Ranieri's unremitting efforts, he finally used the remaining transfer funds to form a team to compete in the Premier League this season.
Goalkeepers: 1 Schmeichel, 12 Hammer, 21 Zieler.
Defenders: 3 Chilwell, 5 Morgan, 6 Huth, 17 Simpson, 8 Wague, 27 Wasilewski, 28 Fuchs, 29 Benalouane
Midfielders: 4 Drinkwater, 7 Kante, 11 Albrighton, 13 Amartey, 14 Kapustka, 22 Gray, 23 Andy King, 24 Mendy, 25 Ndidi.
Forwards: 9 Vardy, 10 Li Lei, 19 Slimani, 20 Okazaki Shinji, 26 Mahrez.
As the head coach of the team, Ranieri finally gathered all the players for the new Premier League season after a summer transfer market.
In the goalkeeper line, the previous goalkeeper Schmeichel was retained, as well as two young and promising British goalkeepers.
The midfield is even more star-studded. Not only have they retained several core players, but they have also introduced several new players with superior skills, which has greatly enhanced the team's strength.
The forward line is even more luxurious, with Li Lei, who has world-class goal-scoring and organizational skills.
It can be said that such a lineup is fully capable of competing in the Premier League in the new season and striving for better results.
With the end of the World Cup, the fans who have just calmed down have their passion and enthusiasm ignited again.
The major clubs in the five major European leagues have begun to recall their players who participated in the World Cup and started the process of preparing for the 2014-2015 season.
Leicester City, as a team that is still hovering in the relegation zone in the Premier League, is no exception.
On July 15, Leicester City coach Ranieri sounded the assembly horn at the team's training base. All players, except for several World Cup players who are still on vacation, all returned to the team to report.
Facing the call of head coach Ranieri, the players who came to the training base were filled with excitement and expectation. They couldn't wait to
Want to prove himself and contribute better performance to the team in the new season.
With a roar, a cool Lamborghini supercar stopped outside the gate of the training base, which immediately attracted the attention of the players who came to the training early.
They saw a well-proportioned Asian guy walked out of the car, which caused a lot of discussion on the court.
Several old players have recognized that this is the new attacking king Li Lei, and they all came forward to greet him.
"Wow! Our big star is here!" The old brother Vardy in the team smiled and took the lead to give Li Lei a big hug.
Some players have only come in the last two seasons and don't have a deep impression of Li Lei. At this time, they are still asking their teammates next to them about Li Lei's situation.
Another young Asian player Shinji Okazaki came over and began to introduce to everyone: "Everyone, this is the Chinese striker Li Lei who returned from Chelsea."
"He and Vardy were once the twin stars of Leicester City. They made great contributions in the season when they led the team from the English Championship to the Premier League."
"Later, he was bought by Chelsea, but his performance in Chelsea is still outstanding. Last season, he was the team's best newcomer of the season. He is very strong."
The players nodded after hearing the introduction. So that's it. Only then did they remember Li Lei's legendary experience.
At this time, the eyes of these players looking at Li Lei were also changing.
And Li Lei was still greeting his old teammates warmly, "Brother, you are wrong. How can you tease your brother like this!"
"Do you still remember the bits and pieces of our trial training together? In my heart, you will always be my best brother."
Li Lei happily chatted with these old friends about the past.
"Captain, I'm glad to work with you again. With you in command on the field, I, a striker, can attack with all my strength." Li Lei smiled and hugged the captain Morgan.
"Haha, you are still so sweet, no wonder there are always beautiful women around you!"
"We have all seen the report of your love affair in Brazil in the Sun." The captain jokingly punched Li Lei's shoulder, which made everyone laugh.
Li Lei shyly touched his head and did not explain the teasing.
"Okay, let's talk about the past after the training. Let me introduce you to the new faces of the team. The team has changed a lot since you left the team in these years." Morgan interrupted everyone's chat and said with a smile.
So Morgan took Li Lei to the center of the court and said to his teammates around him: "Everyone, I think I don't need to introduce more. This is Li Lei, the former core striker of Chelsea, the former ace of Leicester City, and the best newcomer in the Premier League last season."
Faced with Morgan's introduction, the teammates on the court applauded in understanding.
Li Lei also smiled and walked forward, and briefly introduced himself to the new teammates.
"I am very happy to join the team, and I will go all out to contribute more goals to my teammates."
When Morgan brought Li Lei to Shinji Okazaki, Okazaki took the initiative to say:
"Mr. Li, it is a great honor to meet you here. In the hearts of us Asian players, you are our pride! It is my great honor to be a teammate with you!"
Li Lei was a little surprised but also very happy to hear such a grand introduction from Okazaki.
He smiled and said: "Mr. Okazaki, you are too kind! We Asian players should unite and help each other and contribute more to the team."
"I am also very happy to cooperate with you. Let us work together to strive for better results for the team!"
