32: Leicester City in Adversity!

The time came to September 26th.

It was afternoon in England time.

Coincidentally, there was a rare sun today.

At this time, Rocky, already wearing a jersey, was standing on the lawn of the King Power Stadium, waiting for the kick-off.

It's just that Rocky, who was standing on the lawn, only felt his legs go weak.

The reason was very simple. In half a month, Rocky played four games.

Especially the one three days ago.

In the League Cup game, Leicester City faced West Ham again.

The two teams fought fiercely for 90 minutes.

In the end, it was Rocky who used a 30-meter leaf ball from outside the penalty area to pierce through Adrian's fingers again, giving Leicester City victory.

For four consecutive games, Rocky had played for 90 minutes in consecutive starts.

Even though Rocky was eighteen years old this year, it was the fastest time to recover his physical strength and energy.

But he was also tired.

And, he was not the only one feeling tired.

The whole team up and down, basically no one was not tired.

This is the Premier League format and schedule.

A schedule that made countless coaches and players complain.

The development of the game also clearly reflects the physical decline of Leicester City players.

...

On-site Commentary box.

"It's only 45 minutes into the game and Arsenal are already five goals ahead."

"Throughout the first half, we can see that Leicester's players have lost too much physical fitness."

"In addition, Arsenal under Wenger has always advocated beautiful football, focusing on possession and passing."

"The continuous running and sprinting made the Leicester players seriously exhausted."

"Especially Rocky! We can now see that by the time the tee-off comes, he is already on his knees and can't stand up straight."

It was already 6 PM in the evening in India.

But in the studio of Star Sports Channel, which was supposed to be full of passion, it fell into silence.

The commentators fell into silence as they watched the excited Arsenal players on the field and the dazzling 0-5 score.

"So far, Sanchez has a hat-trick and Arsenal's No. 11 has two assists."

"Other than that, Arsenal striker Theo Walcott and midfielder Ramsey each scored a goal."

"This is a massacre! The Blue Foxes, Leicester City, were completely crushed by Arsenal at their home stadium, the King Power Stadium!"

"Forty-five minutes in the first half, Arsenal had 80 percent of the ball!"

"The number of shots is thirteen!"

"It can be said that Leicester City is powerless in this game."

Commentator one looked at Rocky on the screen.

He is already excellent.

But... but the background of the team and the strength of teammates are not enough.

"That's five goals behind?!"

"I'm still waiting for Rocky to hang Arsenal."

"I said it long ago! Don't get your hopes up for Indian football and players. Cricket is our game. Football can only be hero in here and zero in international."

"What are you guys doing here every day?"

"I used to play weak teams to get data."

"Now it's a strong team. The genius in your mouth is immediately revealed."

There were countless netizens and spectators following the game, came to Twitter to express their dissatisfaction.

They all watched the game with the idea of seeing Indian Football Genius.

But when they saw the game, Leicester were already five goals behind in the first half.

It was Rocky's fans who immediately fell silent.

Instead of Rocky's fans, they didn't watch football much before, but the netizens who just watched today's halftime were ridiculing Rocky.

.....

At King Power Stadium.

The 25,000 Leicester City fans were silent, sitting in their respective positions, recalling the tragedy that the team suffered in the first half.

Forty-five minutes was scored five.

Some impatient fans chose to leave the field first.

They couldn't accept the fact that their beloved team was slaughtered at home.

And most of the fans chose to believe in their home team and continued to stay.

...

In the dressing room of Leicester City.

Anant led the photographer and silently left the room.

He felt this scene doesn't need to be recorded and gave them some privacy.

In the locker room, the team was dead silent.

Everyone, including Ranieri, was struck by the fact that they were five goals down in the first half.

They never imagined it, although they knew it was a tough game.

But they didn't expect that this game was so hard.

Rocky bowed his head. It's not that he can't accept failure, but he can't accept this kind of failure that was almost shameful.

"The second half... Rocky, come down."

"You are already very tired, and this is also my problem. I am too dependent on you to give you proper rest."

"Playing 90 minutes in four games in a row is too much of a drain on your energy."

"I'll replace you with Kante in the second half..."

Seeing that everyone in the team was silent, Ranieri, the head coach, took the initiative to ease the atmosphere and set up tactics for the second half.

"No, boss!"

"I can still hold on in the second half."

"I don't want to lose the game just like that."

"Even if they were Arsenal."

"Even if we are five goals down now."

After hearing coach's words, Rocky stood up and directly rejected Ranieri's suggestion!

Afterwards, Rocky turned his head and looked at his teammates angrily shouting.

"It's not our strength! We can't play with their rhythm!"

"What are you guys doing?! Why did Arsenal slip away in the first half?!"

"Our midfield is like a dummy! The ball is always available to Arsenal's midfielders!"

"Okazaki Shinji, what are you doing?!"

"Did you see Koscielny getting weak? Why can't you run?!"

Rocky, who really couldn't stand his team's performance, came out and criticized his teammates for the first time.

This made Ranieri and the players in the entire locker room were taken aback.

"Why do you think it's normal for us to lose to Arsenal?!"

"Why can't we win them!?"

"If you still want to concede more goals and be a disgrace to the whole Premier League, then just keep playing with that in mind!"

"Let others say, in front of Arsenal, like a child who has not grown up, we are kneaded by them at will?!"

After that, Rocky sat in his seat and entered the system directly.

Although Rocky was very dissatisfied with the team's performance, he also knew that Ranieri was right about one thing, that his physical strength was really bad.

During this period of time, he had saved tens of thousands of template points.

Now, it's time for template points to come into play.

"System, exchange for Iron Man- Nedved's physical fitness template."

Nedved, it's a somewhat old name.

Judging from his nickname, we know his playing characteristics and strengths.

Whenever Nedved was on the court, you can see him running around with the ball.

He's a football player rather than a football player.

Because his style was really the same as that of a rugby player.

The most memorable moment of Nedved should be the Italian national derby in 2003, when Juventus faced Inter Milan.

With Nedved's lungs bruised and Nedved coughing up blood, he could still run all over the field and even score a goal.

Help Juventus win 3-0.

Such a player, he is not an iron man, who is an iron man?

In the System Template Shop, Nedved's templates require half a million template points.

Rocky, who only had 30,000 template points on his body, can't be redeemed.

Fortunately, the physical fitness template that he needs most can be redeemed with just 30,000 template points.

When Rocky chose to exchange the template, he only felt a warm feeling in his body.

Then, his tired limbs felt energized.

Even his brain, which was a little sore from exhaustion, regained consciousness.

This was Nedved's fitness.

A tough guy who can't run to death and was not afraid of getting hurt, a fighter.

"Rocky is right."

"This is our second season in the Premier League."

"Remember our goals for this season?"

"We can't take it for granted that the opponent is tough just because we conceded the ball."

"This is the Premier League! We are not weak!"

"In the second half, show your energy! Let the bastards at Arsenal see the blood of Leicester."

"We represent Leicester!"

"Outside, there are more than 20,000 fans waiting for us! We must show momentum!"

"Even if we lose, let the son of a bitch at Arsenal be afraid of us."

"Do you understand?!"

Rocky's words caused the entire locker room to fall into silence for a few minutes.

This time team's captain Morgan stood up.

He clapped his palm, attracted everyone's attention to himself, and expressed his opinion.

"Yes! Rocky and the captain are right."

"We are Leicester!"

"Dry Arsenal!"

With Rocky and Morgan's successive statements and remarks, the atmosphere and blood of the entire team were mobilized.

The players ignited the passion of the past, and clamored for a hard lesson for Arsenal in the second half.

This made Ranieri standing beside him dumbfounded.

No, who is the coach?

My tactics in the second half were not planned and I didn't lecture.

Why did you get up on your own?

So what is my coach doing?
