There were echoes of regret in the Stamford Bridge stadium.
"Damn it! What a pity!"
"It actually hit the crossbar."
"Almost, almost scored."
"As expected of Chelsea's top shooter, his ability to get rid of defenses is really strong."
"The key is that Sterling only has 170 points. Facing Leicester City's defensive players, his physical confrontation is not inferior. He is very strong."
"This ball was passed well by Chu Xiaoran. It passed directly over the players from both teams and just landed at Sterling's feet."
"This passing skill is awesome!"
"His spoon-passing skills are also very good. The big defender didn't even react."
…
In the commentary box, Zhan Jun and the others also felt sorry for this goal.
"Chu Xiaoran's sudden acceleration is still so strong. While getting rid of the defense, it also creates an excellent opportunity for Chelsea's attack."
Zhan Jun analyzed:
"Mount had already passed the ball the moment Chu Xiaoran accelerated. Obviously, they have practiced this routine a lot in their usual training."
"Perhaps this is why head coach Lampard asked Chu Xiaoran to serve as a full midfielder in the first game."
Huang Jianxiang nodded and took over the conversation.
"During the European Youth Championship, Chu Xiaoran already showed us his extraordinary starting speed and ability to run long distances."
"After he got the ball, he faced two defensive players from Leicester City. He didn't suffer at all in the physical confrontation. Only then did he make breakthroughs and passes."
"Originally, we were most worried that he would have to pay tuition in physical confrontation. Now it seems that we ourselves still underestimate Chu Xiaoran."
"The timing of his last pass was very good. Almost as soon as Sterling got rid of the defense, Chu Xiaoran's pass had already reached Sterling's feet."
"Anyone who has played football knows how comfortable it is to have teammates who pass the ball to your feet."
On the coaching bench, when Sterling kicked off his shot, head coach Lampard had already stood up and was ready to celebrate.
When he saw the football hitting the crossbar and flying high into the sky, Lampard flicked his right hand with a look of pity.
On the green field, Chelsea's first shot hit the crossbar.
This made the Chelsea players feel sorry for themselves, while the Leicester City players broke out in a cold sweat.
It has only been five or six minutes since the game started.
If Chelsea, who are playing at home, score a goal so soon, the subsequent games will become increasingly difficult to play.
The players at Leicester City know this.
They glanced at Sterling, who was shooting, and then at Chu Xiaoran, the centerpiece of this round's offense, and planned to use tighter defensive tactics against them.
The football flew out of the field and landed in the stands behind the goal, causing fans to rush for it.
On the field, Leicester City goalkeeper Ward got the new match ball and waited until his teammates had all moved forward and passed the halfway line before he kicked the ball wide open.
Bang!
The football suddenly crossed the center line of the field and entered Chelsea's half.
Leicester City's No. 8 player, Tielemans, the team's thigh, caught Chelsea's defender and stopped the long pass firmly with his chest.
After stopping the ball, Tielemans made a beautiful turn and began to attack Chelsea's hinterland.
On Chelsea's left side of the defense, experienced Samba defender Silva took the initiative and intercepted Tielemans' offensive line with his teammate Cucurella.
Leicester City launched the attack from their right wing. At this time, Chu Xiaoran was on Chelsea's right defense line, forming a tight defensive front with his teammates while adapting and adjusting to the rhythm of the game.
"It is indeed the top football league in the world."
"Whether it is the rhythm of the game, the players' ability, or the physical confrontation, it is several levels higher than the original European Youth Championship."
"In the first few minutes, the opponent's tight defense had a great impact on me."
"It seems that in a truly mature top league, it is difficult to underestimate the enemy."
After all, today's game is just Chu Xiaoran's first Premier League game.
Although in daily training, he has practiced many tactics with his teammates and experienced the playing level of top Premier League players.
But training is training after all, and many times it does not involve hand-to-hand combat with a bayonet.
In the first few minutes, Chu Xiaoran truly experienced the fast pace, strong confrontation and high level of the top league for the first time.
But it was obvious that Chu Xiaoran adapted very quickly.
In just five or six minutes, he found an opportunity from the right wing, and together with Mount, Sterling and other stars, he completed a beautiful offensive cooperation.
Although Sterling's explosive shot failed to score a goal, both the more than 40,000 spectators at the scene and the football fans around the world in front of the screen saw Chu Xiaoran's outstanding performance.
Many people who originally wanted to see Chu Xiaoran's jokes were destined to be disappointed.
While Chu Xiaoran was thinking, Leicester City had already used their skillful cooperation to attack Chelsea's penalty area.
After many passes and cuts, Leicester City's No. 9 forward Silva found a gap and shot.
Although this shot was hidden behind everyone, it was not too strong due to the angle and was intercepted by Chelsea goalkeeper Mendy with both hands.
In the first ten minutes, neither side was able to score.
In a real match between strong teams, when both sides are physically fit, it is not easy to score goals.
In the media commentary box, Zhan and Jun were still giving professional explanations.
"It has been nearly 20 minutes since the game started, and the game between the two sides is still going on."
"Although neither side scored a goal, they each formed one or two very threatening attacks."
"Chu Xiaoran, the genius of our Dragon Kingdom, quickly caught up with the rhythm of the game after a short period of adaptation and launched two attacks from the right wing and the center."
"One pass to Sterling and one pass to Mount."
"Their two shots were both within the goal frame, but they were just unlucky and did not form an effective goal."
"Now, every time Chu Xiaoran gets the ball, Leicester City has to send out two or three defensive players to interfere with Chu Xiaoran."
"With such treatment, people who don't know it would think that Chu Xiaoran is a top superstar who has been competing in the arena for many years."
While Zhan Jun was joking, Chelsea organized another attack and pressed forward near Leicester City's penalty area.
Mount dribbled the ball through the middle and, facing the pursuit and interception of three people, passed the ball to Chu Xiaoran who came in from the right.
After receiving the pass from Mount, facing the defensive player marking him, Chu Xiaoran raised his eyebrows and pretended to go straight down from the right wing, deceiving his opponent to take a small step first.
At the moment when the defensive player was deceived, Chu Xiaoran unexpectedly moved the football to the center, passed by the defensive player, and went straight to the goal.
When he reached the top of the free throw arc, facing two defenders who rushed to defend him, Chu Xiaoran used his skillful dribbling to get rid of one of the defenders.
Just when another defensive player jumped in front of him.
Chu Xiaoran used the opponent's body as a cover and fired a cold arrow with his right foot.
boom!
The football drew a strange arc while flying, catching the opponent's goalkeeper off guard.
When the goalkeeper was trying to make a save, the football slipped past the goalkeeper's fingertips, rubbed the underside of the goal crossbar, and entered the goal!
roar……
The entire Stamford Bridge stadium suddenly erupted with a sound like a volcano erupting!
(Characters like Chu Xiaoran are the author’s dream, so there will be more relevant descriptions and plots. It’s really not my fault. Please, I even deleted part of it)
