A week later, on October 3, the Premier League war resumed.
In the eighth round of the league, Leicester City will travel to Norfolk, eastern England, to challenge Norwich City away from home at Carrow Road Stadium.
This is also a founding member of the Premier League, and in the 1992-93 season they achieved the best record in club history, third place in the Premier League.
But since then Norwich City has started a journey of relegation, and even fell to League One for a time.
For more than 20 years, Norwich City has been ups and downs in the three tiers of Premier League, Championship and League One, like a lift.
Many media and fans even believe that Norwich has been a lifter for a long time just to get "parachute" funds.
Last season, Norwich City once again successfully promoted to the Premier League through the play-offs.
If there are no accidents, they will be relegated this or next season. This is a pattern discovered by Premier League fans over the years. Norwich has never stayed in the Premier League for three full seasons.
But now that 7 rounds of the league have passed, they have achieved 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, ranking 12th in the Premier League, which is very good.
In the past two rounds, Norwich City first drew with the giant Liverpool 1-1 in an away game, and then played a draw at the London Olympic Stadium with West Ham United, which has been extremely strong this season.
In terms of attacking power, Norwich are really not a weak team.
Therefore, Ranieri did not underestimate the enemy, but packed up all the players he could bring with him to Norwich in case of emergency.
In this game, Ranieri made adjustments to the starting lineup.
Chu Zheng and Kanter did not move, and the forward line did not change, but the positions of the players on the wing changed.
Fox started at left back, and Danny Simpson started at right back.
Schlupp was placed in the left midfield position by Ranieri, and Albrighton came to the right midfield position to replace Mahrez.
No one knows what weird experiment Ranieri is doing!
But as long as Vardy, the current top scorer in the Premier League, and Chu Zheng, the top scorer in the Premier League, are on the court in the frontcourt, fans are too lazy to speculate on the thoughts of Ranieri, a troublesome old man who likes to cause trouble.
On the field, as soon as the game started, Norwich players took advantage of the home field advantage and started fighting aggressively on the field. The players seemed to have high morale and were ready to take advantage of the situation to win Leicester City.
In just 3 minutes, they threatened Leicester City's goal.
3 minutes and 32 seconds into the game.
Norwich's attack on the right side of the frontcourt was surrounded, and they quickly passed the ball back and adjusted the direction of the attack.
The passing speed and momentum don't look like a weak team at all.
Norwich right midfielder Jonathan Howson picked up the ball at the edge of Leicester City's half-court circle and quickly passed to the left to Norwich left midfielder Jarvis who was in the rib area seven or eight meters away.
As a veteran born in 1987, the extremely experienced Simpson quickly pushed up along the ribs, preventing Jarvis from turning towards the goal.
At the same time, Chu Zheng and Albrighton in the middle also pounced on Jarvis at the same time.
However, this guy's feet are really lively.
The moment he caught the ball, the guy directly rubbed the ball up, then leaned behind Simpson, twisted his body to the left, and kicked the ball toward the top of the center arc with his right foot.
Jarvis's coherent and fast action made Chu Zheng and Albrighton miss.
Before the penalty arc, Norwich forward Cameron Jerome turned his back to Huth and Morgan, who were attacking from behind, preparing to stop the ball.
However, the moment he touched the ball, Cameron Jerome lightly pushed the ball forward to the left, then turned around and forced his way between Huth and Morgan.
The next second, Norwich's other forward Hoolahan returned the ball to the top area of the arc.
Morgan turned around and saw the shooting line appeared, and he desperately tried to squeeze away Cameron Jerome.
However, Cameron Jerome is no worse than Morgan in terms of height and tonnage.
At this moment, Fox came over from the ribs, preparing to engage in a pincer attack with Morgan.
But Cameron Jerome has been in battle for a long time and has rich experience. He knows very well that if he continues to move forward, his chances will be gone.
So he hit the door with his right foot without saying a word!
After the end line of the small penalty area, Schmeichel hit the ball with high spirits. He judged Cameron Jerome's shot route and quickly flew to the right to the upper corner and directly blocked the ball from the baseline.
When the Norwich fans at home saw their team get a corner kick, their cheers became even louder.
Scoring from set pieces is their specialty.
However, a minute later, when they saw Chu Zheng's figure standing out from the crowd after taking off from the previous point, countless Norwich fans were dumbfounded and exclaimed where did this elastic monster come from.
After Norwich's offensive, the game was relatively dull, but Norwich's pressing in the midfield and frontcourt was still very fierce, very much in the style of a Premier League team.
As time went by, Chu Zheng discovered that Norwich City was not as good as Cheng Yaojin, who knew at least three things.
As for Norwich, on the offensive end, they only have these two tricks: long passes and crosses from the wing.
Moreover, through careful observation, Chu Zheng found that Norwich players had major or minor problems in counterattack prevention, wing defense, and coordinated defense in dangerous areas.
So Leicester City's offensive came naturally, was fierce and incomprehensible.
In the 12th minute of the game, Kante showed his strength and single-handedly knocked over two Norwich players in the right area of the midfield circle in the Norwich half.
After getting the ball, he quickly took the ball away from the center, entered the ribs and knocked the ball across to Albrighton on the wing.
Albrighton didn't carry the ball a few meters, and saw that there was only one defensive player next to Vardy in the Norwich penalty area, so without saying anything, he took off his foot and crossed at a 45-degree angle.
But unfortunately, the effort was not enough, and Norwich left center back Basson, who was standing on the right side of the penalty spot, headed the ball to clear the ball.
The ball fell right into the right rib area at the front of the attacking third.
Chu Zheng quickly picked up speed, removed the ball, and faced three Norwich players in the rib area.
Everyone thought that Chu Zheng would choose to pass the ball when faced with this situation, and then slowly organize the attack. However, Chu Zheng's choice surprised everyone.
After stopping the ball, Chu Zheng faced the challenge from Norwich left center midfielder Dorrance and made a gorgeous Marseille spin.
After a successful breakthrough, facing Norwich right center midfielder Alexander Tettei and left back Brady who were surrounding him, Chu Zheng stepped forward with great force for the ball, ejected and started, blasting directly from the two of them like a gust of wind.
past.
The starting speed and acceleration ability shocked countless fans at the scene!
But after entering the penalty area, Chu Zheng was blocked by Basong and forced out of the penalty area.
When Chu Zheng turned his back to the penalty area and dribbled the ball across the edge of the penalty area to the bottom line of the wing, he was fully surrounded by four Norwich defensive players.
The next second, Chu Zheng passed the ball back to the right before being surrounded.
Albrighton didn't understand Chu Zheng's mindless breakthrough at first, and he looked so stupid as he dived into the opponent's pocket.
But when he saw that the area in front of Norwich's penalty area was empty and Shinji Okazaki appeared, he instantly admired Chu Zheng's planning ability.
After realizing that he was the fool, he decisively took off his foot and made another 45-degree pass.
On the right side of the small penalty area, Shinji Okazaki was in position and directly hammered the ball into the upper right corner of the goal, helping Leicester City take the lead.
This was also the goal that Leicester City won the game.
After that, Leicester City, under Chu Zheng's continuous offensive planning and organization, began to focus on the visitors, using counterattacks and proactive attacks in turns, making Norwich players extremely passive.
Press the attack, and the through ball from the Chinese number 6 on the opposite side that directly penetrates your three lines of defense is simply fatal.
To retreat and defend, this is their home game, and Leicester City is not a Premier League giant, that would be too shameless!
And it may not be possible to defend it. Leicester City's small combination of midfielder and midfielder No. 6 makes it difficult for them to defend, Alexander.
On the sidelines, Ranieri saw Chu Zheng, the commander, toying with Norwich City to applause, and his face smiled like a withered chrysanthemum.
In the end, Leicester City easily won Norwich with a score of 2-0.
