Football: Starting from the abandonment of the rich and powerful

Chapter 271

Pearson was very low-key in his pre-match press conference, and the starting line-up was not conservative at all

, hosting Burnley, Leicester City's starting 11-man roster is

: goalkeeper: Schmeichel Jr.;

Defenders: Albrighton, Wes Morgan, Fuchs, Benaluan;

Midfielders: Ngoro Kante, Shinji Okazaki, Andy Kim;

Forwards: Jiang Ge, Vardy, Mahrez.

Vardy has been in excellent form of late, playing as a centre-forward, with Mahrez and Jiang Ge playing on the left and right wingers respectively.

This is Leicester City's strongest squad at the moment and, in Pearson's words, the team has great respect for rival Burnley and must therefore field the strongest squad.

Burnley manager Sean Deitch's starting 11-man roster for this game is

: goalkeeper: Heaton;

Defenders: Keane, Ward, Shaker, Trippier;

Midfielders: Alfield, David Jones, Bowid (captain), Marney;

Forwards: Barnes, Ince.

Keane and Trippier, the two defenders, are the team's most expensive players

, according to Dezhuan's data, Keane is worth up to 20 million euros, Trippier is also worth 16 million euros

, in a small club like Burnley, this kind of value is like a moving treasure.

It is said that Premier League upstart Manchester City offered 22 million euros to take Keane, but was rejected by Burnley, and the club's psychological price is above 30 million euros!

Trippier is even called non-sale by Burnley club, no matter how much money is not sold, Manchester United once tried to offer 18 million euros was rejected, Trippier

is regarded as a team treasure by Burnley, in addition to strong defensive ability, he also has a statistic that tops the entire league, that is, steal data,

his average of 3.2 steals per game puts Ngoro Kante behind.

In the 19th league game, Burnley have conceded the fewest goals, conceding only nine goals so far, averaging less than one per game, and Leicester City have conceded 19 goals at the top.

There is no doubt that Burnley's backline has been the most consistent so far.

One of the highlights of this game is that the sharpest spear meets the strongest shield, who can win?

In the JG Sports live broadcast room, Zhan Jun invited his old friend Zhang Lu Zhang to guide

, in view of the uproar in China about Brother Jiang's withdrawal from the national team, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the two kept their mouths shut and focused on the game itself.

After reading the starting lineup of the two sides, Zhan Jun looked at Zhang Lu and said,

"Director Zhang, what do you think of this battle for the top spot?"

Zhang Lu paused and replied: "It's hard to say, although Leicester City's recent state is hot, Burnley is by no means a weak team, especially their back line, which can be called a copper wall and an iron wall!"

"You mean that even Leicester City could win it couldn't be a big score, would you?"

"Yes, this game should be a small score, we must not only see that Leicester City's attacking line is very strong, their back line is not good, after 19 league games, Leicester City ranked eighth in the number of goals conceded, which is a stark inversion to their goal count!"

"Well, yes, Leicester City's backline is really not very stable, football is a sport with a balance of attack and defense, the forward line is strong, the pressure on the rear is often not great, and it is possible to concede so many goals under little pressure, which confirms my statement."

"Well, Leicester City should be difficult to keep a clean sheet this time, the key depends on how many goals the forward line can score, and at the same time the back line tries not to lose too much, so as to ensure victory!"

Zhan Jun looked at the information on the table and said:

"Brother Jiang was called 'Iron Guard Crusher' by netizens, this nickname first appeared in Germany, he was still playing in Wolfsburg 2 at that time

, when Wolfsburg wanted to buy the young goalkeeper of the league opponent, the 1.2 million euros negotiated before

, because the young goalkeeper performed well, the opposing club sat on the ground and raised the offer to 3 million euros

, in the match with the other side, Brother Jiang poured a few balls into the other party and beat the door god into a sieve

, and after the game, the opposing club begged Wolf Castle to pay quickly to take people away, and did not dare to raise the price of a penny! "

Haha, there is indeed such a thing, today there are two iron guards in the Burnley squad, one is Keane, the other is Trippier, both have been offered by the giants, are the backbone of Burnley's proud defense, see if Brother Jiang can bargain for potential sellers." Zhang Lu said with a smile.

"I think Leicester City need to strengthen their backline, you just said that Keane and Trippier are good personnel, see if Brother Jiang can save the boss some transfer expenses?"

During the chat of the two, players from both sides entered.

Today's Kingpower Stadium

is full, like a blue ocean, two huge posters hang from the roof of the stadium, one is the blue fox full of wisdom, which is the mascot of

the team, the other is Brother Jiang and Vardy and other players led the team to break through Burnley's castle, Brother Jiang in a knightly suit pierced the yellow bird with a long sword, and was about to put it on the fire to roast,

a yellow stork stood at the top of the Burnley team crest, It is one of the mascots of this team

, Leicester City fans deliberately painted the stork as

a duck, the dead duck was picked up by Jiang Ge in a knightly costume with a long sword, and the underside was written in Chinese: Beijing Roast Duck!

When entering, Brother Jiang looked up and saw the huge poster with a sly smile, a detail that was also captured by the high-definition camera.

Away fans who followed Burnley were given 3,000 tickets, and when the home team unfurled the provocative poster, they also shot back with a pre-prepared model.

The visiting fans also responded directly, with a model of a fox locked in a net by hunters,

which is said to have been purchased online and designed and mass-produced by a specialist company specifically to provoke Leicester City.

Before the match officially began, fans on both sides exchanged greetings in the stands, causing the security personnel at the scene to be nervous.

Before the start of the game, Burnley full-back Trippier came to

Jiang Ge, this guy is only 1.78 meters tall, one head shorter than Jiang Ge, his body is very strong, and he looks stronger than Jiang Ge.

"Hey, Hua Guojiang, this one is up to me to take care of you, I heard that you are the best at breaking through with speed, we will compare explosive power later!"

Trippier took the initiative to talk to himself, and Brother Jiang was also quite surprised, with his personality, he rarely talked to people after he was on the field, and he firmly believed that the stadium was a place for competition, not a place for verbal battles.

"Well, I heard that you are known as the Champion Iron Guard, do you know what nickname others gave me?" Brother Jiang said with a smile.

"Could it be a soft-footed shrimp? Or is it a? Sorry, I can't think of more answers! Trippier replied contemptuously.

"Hehe, they all call me 'Iron Guard Crusher'!"
