Football: Starting from the abandonment of the rich and powerful

Chapter 207

In the fourth round of the League Cup, Leicester City will draw West Ham United from the Premier League and will face the Hammers at the King Power Stadium.

According to the format of the League Cup, it is also a life-and-death match, with the winner advancing to the next round, and the losing side being eliminated directly, without a second leg.

West Ham United F.C., nicknamed the "Hammers," was founded in 1895 and plays its home stadium at Upton Park.

West Ham have won three FA Cups and one European Cup Winners' Cup, and the team has never won a top flight title in more than a hundred years of its existence, nor has it reached the top of the League Cup.

West Ham United finished tenth in the Premier League last season, and as a mid-table Premier League team, with no hope of winning the title and no European competition to play, the team will naturally attach great importance to the Premier League Cup.

In the new season of the Premier League, West Ham United have three rounds of league matches, one win, one draw and one loss, and the opponents are all middle and lower teams, which shows the overall strength of the team.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce and Leicester City manager Pilson attend the pre-match press conference.

Pearson has great respect for this "Uncle Sam" who has achieved higher than himself, and praised Sam Allardis in public at the beginning of the press conference.

Sam Allardyce also responded kindly to Pearson's praise, praising the opponent's magical relegation coach.

The tone of this pre-match press conference is to tout each other, both blow each other into the sky, and hope that the other party will float in the game.

'West Ham are a great club, known as the Academy of Football, which has sent a lot of talented young players to the national team, they are a veritable star-making factory, which is an accepted fact that we at Leicester City cannot match!' Pearson said.

Allardyce smiled slightly, took Pearson's words and said:

"Leicester City are a very youthful team, their performance in the Championship this season is obvious to all, they knocked out the mighty Tottenham Hotspur 6-2 in the last round of the Premier League Cup, which shocked many Premier League clubs, including us!"

Tottenham Hotspur is hesitating to fire Boas's squid, and it seems that this guy must be held accountable!

"Mr. Aldeyce, what do you think of Leicester City's Chinese striker Jiang Ge?" A London media reporter asked.

"Jiang! God-like existence! He is a miracle, I didn't expect that his variety of goals would make me lose sleep these days, he is undoubtedly the most dangerous person!

"Would you make a special arrangement for him?" The reporter pressed.

"Yes, Tottenham Hotspur is a lesson from the past, and my coaching team and I have made a special defensive arrangement for Jiang Ge!"

I don't know why Allardyce always reveals Tottenham's scars, perhaps to prove that he is better than Boas.

In the last round of the Premier League Cup, Tottenham hosted the visiting Leicester City

, and the Tottenham coach praised the Chinese striker at the pre-match press conference, but when asked whether he made special arrangements for

Jiang Ge, he remained silent, at that time, the reporter who asked the question thought that he did not want to disclose information, but he did not make targeted arrangements at all, and was exploded by Jiang Ge.

Immediately afterwards, Allardyce praised Vardy, Wes Morgan, Schmeichel Jr. and Kante in the Leicester squad, and while sending praise, it also showed that his team has studied the main players in the Leicester squad.

Polite exchanges, Pearson also to West Ham United in Joe United. Cole, Adrian and other players praised

the away challenge to the Championship leaders, West Ham United offered the team's strongest team

: goalkeeper: Adrian;

Defenders: Amero, DeMel, Tomkins, Taylor;

Midfielders: Jarvis, Diame, Rudock;

Forwards: Bowen, Carroll, Joe Cole (captain).

In terms of player configuration alone, West Ham United's formation in this game is 433.

Goalkeeper Adrian has been the team's main goalkeeper, conceding just one goal and keeping two clean sheets in three Premier League games this season.

Among the starting 11, the most famous is Joe Cole, a winger who has represented England in three World Cups

, and is known as England's "golden generation" along with David Beckham, Gerrard, Frank Lampard and others, but his achievements are far inferior to the above three

, and after a spin outside, Joe Cole returns to where his dream began, and he came through the West Ham Academy.

Youngman striker Jerrod Bowen, a 19-year-old 1.75m tall, nimble and fast, is one of West Ham's main attackers this season and has scored a goal in the league.

On the Leicester City side, Pearson really sent Vasilewski's guy to the reserves, and the starting 11 in this game are

: goalkeeper: Schmeichel Jr.;

Defenders: Wes Morgan (captain), Albrighton, Fuchs, Benaluan;

Midfielders: Shinji Okazaki, Danny Simpson, N'Golo Kante;

Forwards: Jiang Ge, Vardy, Mahrez.

In this kind of life-and-death game, Pearson is very cautious and does his best, which is also the strongest squad that Leicester City can discharge.

Since the elimination of the mighty Tottenham Hotspur in the last round of the Premier League Cup, the whole team, including the fans, has hoped for the team, and it is obviously not easy to reach the fourth round, and they all hope that the team can go further.

In the live broadcast room of Huaguo JG Sports, Zhan Jun still invited his old friend Zhang Lu as a commentator.

"Director Zhang, what do you think of this Premier League Cup match?" Zhan Jun asked.

"Uh..." Zhang Lu put down the information in her hand and replied: "I just looked at the starting lineup of West Ham United, to be honest, the overall strength is not as good as Leicester City!"

"Oh, yes? But this is already West Ham's strongest squad at the moment!

"Yes, even if West Ham United play the main game, it will not be easy for them to take away a victory at the King Power Stadium!"

Zhan Jun also looked at the information and continued: "West Ham United beat Nottingham Forest in the Championship away from home in the last round of the Premier League Cup, and reached the fourth round, and they have won two consecutive matches in the English League Cup! "

Leicester City's last round win against Tottenham, Tottenham are clearly above West Ham United in the Premier League this season with 3 wins and 2 defeats, and since Leicester City can win 6-2 away at Tottenham, it is not a big problem to win the Hammers in this game!"

"Having said that, football is round, anything is possible and this game is very important for Leicester City and West Ham United!"

In the neat and high-pitched singing of the fans, the players from both sides entered

, and the attentive fans found that the shirts on today's Leicester City players seemed to be different from the past, and the familiar Adi trademark was missing and replaced with an unfamiliar logo.

This is the first game in which the team wears "Jiang Ge Costume", and it is also the first public appearance of "Jiang Ge Costume".

Jiang Ge walked into the venue wearing the jersey that bears his name, both excited and apprehensive, and

this game must go all out to fully expose the logo of Jiang Ge's costume in front of the world's fans.
