Chapter 96
The afternoon after the game, Li Lei trained with De Bruyne as promised.
The Premier League started a fierce battle for points in early August, and all the big teams tried their best to win more games at the beginning of the season.
There were big teams like Chelsea that won two consecutive games in the focus games, and there were also teams like Manchester City that lost to Cardiff City unexpectedly.
Li Lei's old club Leicester City did not score a goal in the first two rounds, losing to Tottenham 0:1 and Stoke City 0:2 respectively.
This put Leicester City coach Pearson under great pressure.
In the turmoil, Chelsea ushered in the challenge of Aston Villa at home. In the first half, both sides scored a goal and ended the first half with a score of 1:1.
In the 15th minute of the game, Aston Villa took the lead first. Center forward Boveri made a shot after a breakthrough with the ball, and the ball luckily bounced into the near corner.
But Chelsea soon responded. In the 32nd minute, in a quick counterattack, Ramirez, who broke through the wing, passed the ball horizontally to the middle.
Eto'o, who started the game, calmly pushed the ball into the far corner, and the ball spun into the net, equalizing the score!
After the halftime break, the two sides changed sides and continued the game.
As time passed, the two sides were still evenly matched and no more goals were scored.
In the 80th minute of the second half, Li Lei finally got the chance to come on as a substitute.
Sitting on the bench and watching the entire game, Li Lei knew the situation on the field very well. He entered the field with full fighting spirit, ready to win for the team.
There was not much time left, and Li Lei knew that he had to seize every offensive opportunity.
The situation on the field was in a stalemate, and both sides were cautious about the final attack. There was only one chance, and Li Lei took a deep breath and prepared with full concentration.
At this time, Mourinho let Li Lei play, mainly to use his speed to launch a fierce attack on Aston Villa's defense.
Li Lei's performance after coming on the field did not disappoint him. He skillfully used his fast pace and broke through the entanglement of the opponent's defenders many times.
Aston Villa's defense line finally showed a flaw in Li Lei's repeated pulling and impact.
At this time, the time has reached 90 minutes. The assistant staff on the sidelines prompted three minutes of stoppage time, and the ball was under Chelsea's control.
At this time, Li Lei, who was in the rib area, moved to the right side. Midfielder Schürrle made a long pass and the ball came to his feet.
So he quickly shook off the defender behind him and rushed into the penalty area with a few big steps.
Just when the ball was about to get out of control, he adjusted his steps in time and accurately passed the ball to Eto'o who entered the penalty area.
Eto'o shot quickly without any pause after receiving the ball, and the ball went into the net!
In the end, Eto'o's two goals marked the end of the victory of this game.
Chelsea defeated Aston Villa 2:1 and won three points at home.
Li Lei performed well again in this game and delivered his second assist after joining.
His speed and extraordinary ability brought great pressure to the opponent's defense.
With two assists in two games, his strength has been verified. Li Lei has gradually found his form and developed a tacit understanding with his teammates.
