Chapter 53
However, with the sluggish performance in recent rounds, the team has been squeezed out of the top three in the standings.
The 33 points also temporarily made Leicester City lose the first chance to compete for the championship and has entered the ranks of the play-offs.
If the team still wants to impact the Premier League, it must improve stability and reduce draws and losses.
Overall, Leicester City's start this season has improved compared to last season, but the recent decline is worrying. The management can only hope that Li Lei will get better as soon as possible.
In the local sports newspaper of Leicester City, the media gave a fairly objective analysis
《Leicester City is in a slump, and the head coach is facing a test.
Leicester City has only achieved 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last four games, which has put it in a trough in the league. The team must regroup as soon as possible, otherwise the championship situation will become difficult, and the coach Pearson's coaching ability will also be tested.
The entire team's offense has come to a standstill, and it has failed to get three points in four consecutive games. From this we can also see the importance of Li Lei to this team.
Only 3 goals in four games,���The offense is stuck in a quagmire, and the winning problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to compete with the opponents at the top of the standings.
Old problems reappeared, and the defense still made mistakes. Mistakes at critical moments led to lost balls, and the back line is still the team's weak point. There is still a long way to go in defensive construction and it needs to be solved urgently. The bad news is that the team's downturn will continue and there is no sign of improvement.
The good news is that another important player of the Leicester City twins is about to return to the court.
However, on social media, Leicester City fans gave a warmer welcome to Li Lei's return.
"Great! Our savior Li Lei is finally coming back! This is really great news!"
"So exciting! We can finally see Li Lei running on the court again!"
"I hope Li Lei can regain his form and quickly integrate into the team. I always believe that he can lead the team to new heights."
"However, we cannot ask too much of Lei Lei who is still in the recovery period. We need to give him some time to adapt to the rhythm of the game."
"As long as we have Li Lei, our offense will be rejuvenated, and the Blues' victory is in sight.!"
"You must take care of yourself. We will fully support you and stay with you all the time!"
Finally, after more than a month of recovery and rehabilitation training, Leicester City finally announced the news of Li Lei's return after the 16th round of the league.
When Leicester City officially announced that Li Lei would return to participate in the next round of the league, the news caused a huge shock on the Internet.
All major British news media and sports portals attached great importance to it and reported the news enthusiastically.
"Li Lei returns to the game"、"Headlines such as"Li Lei's first appearance after injury" can be seen everywhere.
On social media, Li Lei has also attracted a large number of fans through his wonderful performance some time ago, and these fan groups have also received a large number of messages from fans.
"I'm finally going to meet Lee, so happy! I'm really fed up with this kind of sluggish competition!"
"Come on, Li Lei! I believe you can regain your glory!"
"I've never been so excited about a game! I must go to support it! Our wind chasing boy is back"
"Thank you for your hard work, Li Lei. We will always support you!"
This news ignited greater hope for Leicester City fans. They believe that Li Lei's return will surely light up the team. On the first day after the resumption of training, Li Lei came to the training base as soon as possible in the morning.
First, he came to the base doctor's treatment room for a comprehensive physical examination, using different testing methods to evaluate the degree of muscle recovery.
The examination lasted 20 minutes. Li Lei asked Dr. Ryan a little nervously:"Sir, how is my recovery?"
After the comprehensive examination lasting more than 20 minutes, Li Lei felt a little uneasy.
He turned to Dr. Ryan, who was in charge of the examination, and asked:"Sir, please tell me, how is my recovery?" Dr.
Ryan looked at the examination report and said with a smile:"Li, you don't have to worry at all. Judging from the results of various examinations, you have recovered very well after the injury."
"So, is my current condition good enough to support my return to the game?" Li Lei then asked
"Do you feel any discomfort now? Is there any tightness in the injured area?"Dr. Ryan did not answer his question, but asked
"Not at all, just like I have never been injured." Li Lei said confidently
"The condition still needs to be improved, but the basics are fine."Dr. Ryan said steadily:"You need to pay more attention in the future. If you feel uncomfortable, you must come for a follow-up check-up."
""Thank you for your treatment." Li Lei said happily. This was the best answer he had heard in the past month.
After leaving the medical room after the examination, Li Lei came to the training ground. From a distance, he saw the head coach Pearson arranging the players' training.
Li Lei couldn't wait to wave to Pearson and said loudly:"BOSS,My examination results are out, and the doctor said I have fully recovered!"
After saying that, he raised his head and did a few sets of routine movements to show his condition, such as stretching his leg muscles and turning his upper body in circles.
Pearson stopped his work, smiled at Li Lei, and also paid attention to whether his movements were smooth and perfect. It was not until Li Lei finished the movement and came back to him that Pearson patted him on the shoulder and said:"I'm glad to hear that you have recovered so smoothly, but let's just take it easy today and follow the routine."
"Got it, boss!" Li Lei responded, his face filled with anticipation and joy for the return of the competition.
