The Premier League has reached its twenty-fifth round. Leicester City has a total of 62 points, followed by Tottenham with 58 points, then Arsenal with 56 points, and then Chelsea with 50 points.
It can be seen from the scores that Leicester City is ranked first this season. The main reason is not only its own performance, but also the fact that it has only lost three or four games so far, and other teams have not performed well.
Big6, three of them are in the top four, but for the other three, Manchester City can only compete for sixth place this season, and Liverpool may not be safe even if they are ranked tenth.
Not to mention Manchester United, they were already dead.
Leicester City finally has a week's rest, which is not easy. The club first gave everyone two days off, and they didn't even use it for training.
However, head coach Ranieri reminded everyone that they must also activate their bodies properly, otherwise they will not feel as comfortable when they come back.
Ren Jie trains on the court at home, and the training is a little less than training with the team.
He is even more tired. At least other teammates have experienced this kind of season for at least a year. This is his first time in such a high-intensity game.
He also really carried out his identity as a fan. He also found time to watch a Champions League game. This time it was relatively low-key, and the photographer did not take pictures of him. He just watched the game in the VIP box.
Back in the league, Leicester City plays Arsenal again.
Ren Jie was given a rest in this game. After a period of research, Professor Wenger used a shadow forward formation that is not common in the league.
This is a good candidate to restrain 442. 442, a two-layer defense, is difficult to penetrate whether it is on the wing or in the middle.
But if it is a shadow forward or an attacking midfielder, in the middle of the three positive directions of 44 and 42, this will make the defender very uncomfortable.
In the end, Arsenal defeated Leicester City 2:1 and got an extremely precious three points. Few teams can get three points from Leicester City this season.
After a few days' rest, Leicester City won 1-0 against relegation team Norwich City. Ren Jie received five gold coins and entered half a month's rest to fully prepare for the League Cup final.
There will be a friendly match next month, and in the past half month, England has also announced the roster for this call-up.
Ren Jie appeared on the England team's squad for the first time, and others included Ren Jie's teammates, Vardy and Delin.
Everyone is familiar with them, Harry Kane, Henderson, Smalling, etc.
At this time, the England team is changing dynasties, so the lineup is not very strong, but it will get better soon. England is one of the few teams that has successfully changed dynasties.
Later, Italy, Germany, and even the football kingdom Brazil were not very successful in changing dynasties.
The final venue of the League Cup is also the home stadium of the England team, Wembley Stadium. This historic stadium has produced countless classic scenes.
The World Cup, Olympic Games, European Cup, and Champions League finals have all been hosted here.
It is a huge stadium that can accommodate 90,000 people.
While Liverpool has been great for so many years, Leicester City has just become great this year, and it may even be a flash in the pan. There are more sleeper fans arriving at Wembley Stadium, about 60,000 people, while Leicester City only has More than 20,000 people. Usually the King Power Stadium can accommodate more than 30,000 people in total.
So this game for Renjie and the others can almost be said to be an away game.
Before the game, fans of the two teams had been quarreling with each other on the Internet for a long time. The reason for Leicester City fans is simple. We are ranked first because we are stronger.
Some Liverpool fans also said, what is your background? This is a cup match, and this one game determines the outcome. We at Liverpool have played in more finals than Leicester City have played in the Premier League. How can you compare with me?
The fans of both teams have their own opinions and have been scolding each other for a week. On the Internet, Leicester City has been used to seven goals and was drunk. There is no way. No one has more fans and no one has more mouths. They just You can suffer a loss.
This matter came to a head on the eve of the game. In front of the media, Ren Jie moved the matter online about Liverpool fans inviting Leicester City to drink 7-Up.
"I respect the Liverpool team, I like it very much, and I also know the fans' pre-game cheering mood, so today I am different from the sharp words I used to say. I want to tell the Leicester City fans that we have no There are so many, I can’t explain them to others!”
"But we are strong. You wait until the game is over. After we win, they will be embarrassed to say it. You are just trying to regain the field!"
In fact, these words are not that malicious, but this is the eve of the war. Liverpool's performance this season is not good, and winning the League Cup can be regarded as an explanation.
At this point in the fight, no one wants to give up.
An hour before the game, the team’s official starting lineup was released.
Leicester City, as always, has an unbeatable 11-man starting lineup, and it is also an invincible starting lineup. The few games they lost were really not just their 11-man lineup.
Let’s focus on Liverpool’s starting lineup. Mignolet is the goalkeeper. This is also a temporary goalkeeper, so he will make the transition first.
Double central defender combination of Sakho and Lovren.

The 433 formation consists of three midfielders: left midfielder Emre Can, right midfielder Henderson, and central midfielder Lucas.
Left forward Lallana, right forward Milner, center Firmino.
"Hello, viewers, hello everyone, you are watching the English League Cup final. The two sides of the game are Leicester City and Liverpool. OK, the game begins!"
Ren Jie gave the ball to Schmeichel, and Liverpool coach Klopp. Klopp's tactical philosophy is well known to everyone. To explain it in a concise and comprehensive way, it means that the players will be exhausted!
As soon as the ball came out, the Liverpool players immediately rushed forward and pressed high in the frontcourt.
Leicester City has also studied Liverpool. To be precise, they have studied all teams.
Faced with Liverpool's frontcourt press, Schmeichel directly put the ball forward and looked for Mahrez. Mahrez is the strongest among Leicester City's frontcourt players, and By taking advantage of the width of the court, at least the ball will not be lost easily.
Mahrez quickly moved forward and stopped the ball. After stopping, he faced Emre. Neither of the two moved, but other people on the field had already started running. Vardy had already inserted it, and Ren Jie went to Mahrez. The left front protective contact.
The Liverpool players' defense recovered around the penalty area line. Mahrez faced Emre and chose to pass him one-on-one. Ren Jie stayed put and waited for Mahrez to pass the ball back if he couldn't pass.
Mahrez's lethality is still strong. Although he did not completely get rid of Emre, he still succeeded in making a pass, but Emre blocked the sideline with his body!
