As Wang Chu entered the field, the announcer at King Power Stadium made his timely introduction.
“Next, let's welcome Leicester City’s newcomer - Wang Chu!”
But!
The Leicester City fans in the stands were not so easily fooled.
Seeing their team struggle to break through against lowly York City, the Leicester City fans were already burning with anger.
Now they saw Nigel Pearson bringing on a yellow man, and they all started to curse.
“Rubbish Nigel Pearson! You can’t even score against York City! What are you good for!”
“Oh my god! You're putting your hope on a yellow man!”
“If this yellow man can score for the team, I’ll run naked outside King Power Stadium today!”
“Rubbish! Crap…”
“…”
In contrast, the Leicester City players were very confident in Wang Chu.
Matthew James, although he had been substituted, was not angry.
Instead, he looked at Wang Chu on the field with confidence. The experienced player's eyes shone with anticipation: “I believe this kid's appearance will make him our secret weapon and he will definitely be the focus.”
“Thump, thump!”
Wang Chu stepped onto the field, feeling a little unreal. Over the past month, his mood had been like a rollercoaster. One moment he was being rejected by a small, marginal club, and the next, he was a Leicester City player.
Wang Chu felt his own heartbeat, took a deep breath.
Feeling the blood rushing through his body, a confident aura emanated from him.
“??? Did something change with Wang Chu?”
Lin Dong watched Wang Chu on the field, a little confused. However, he didn't dwell on it and focused on the game.
In the 49th minute, York City won a throw-in near the center circle. When the throw-in was taken, the two teams engaged in a fierce battle in the midfield.
The ball bounced between the players of both teams, finally landing on the right side.
Seeing the opposing defense finally press forward, a glimmer of light flashed in Wang Chu’s eyes.
He quickly dribbled forward. The opposing midfielder pressed him, but Wang Chu easily changed direction, using his agility and speed to pass him.
The opposing midfielder was stunned by Wang Chu’s footwork and was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted.
He can't dribble past him!
The York City midfielder resolutely attempted to bring Wang Chu down, but as soon as his body collided with Wang Chu, he realized he was wrong, and profoundly so. He felt as if he had collided with a wall and immediately lost his balance, falling to the ground. He could only watch helplessly as Wang Chu dribbled away.
“Oh!” The fans around Lin Dong exclaimed in unison: “What’s this player’s name? Wang Chu? He's too strong!”
“Didn't you just say he’s useless?”
A beautiful girl next to him poked the fan, questioning him.
“Who said that!” The fan's face flushed slightly, after all, he had been slapped in the face, but as soon as he thought about his team having such a strong player, he was filled with excitement: “From now on, anyone who dares to say anything bad about Wang Chu, I will fight him to the death!”
“Then what about the naked run?”
“Naked run, so be it! Who’s afraid of who!”
The fan was about to start taking off his clothes.
Lin Dong couldn’t handle this. Thinking about spending the next few hours sitting next to a naked man, he felt uncomfortable all over.
He quickly stopped him.
“Stop, stop, stop brother! You don't need to run naked! I represent Wang Chu and forgive you.”
Lin Dong wiped the sweat off his forehead and was speechless. Foreigners really are so open.
“You? Represent Wang Chu?”
“That's right! I'm Wang Chu's agent! I recommended him to Leicester City.”
Lin Dong said.
“Ah! So you’re Wang Chu’s agent! Thank you for bringing us such a good player!”
The fan was excited to hear this and said that Lin Dong was now one of them.
Does it even matter whether he's one of them or not? Lin Dong was now worried that he would change his mind again and want to strip naked next to him.
Fortunately, after Lin Dong’s persuasion, he took a step back and decided to run naked outside King Power Stadium after the game.
Wang Chu did not stop. He sped up along the sideline, and the center-back and full-back immediately closed in on him.
However, Wang Chu was nimble on his feet, slightly slowing down before suddenly accelerating, showing off Iniesta’s signature move - the “deep fried ball.”
In a flash, he weaved through the two defenders, reaching the right side of the byline.
This series of amazing moves sent the crowd into a frenzy, and they all stood up and cheered.
“Awesome! Wang Chu’s performance has been absolutely brilliant!” the commentator exclaimed excitedly: “Just based on this incredible physical strength and footwork, Wang Chu is bound to become an indispensable member of Leicester City!”
At this point, the field in front of Wang Chu was wide open, and the view of the penalty area was completely within his sights.
Wang Chu didn’t hesitate for a moment, spread his legs and quickly struck the ball.
His maxed-out passing attribute was fully unleashed at this moment.
The ball arced beautifully through the air towards the penalty area.
Chris Wood had been moving toward the penalty area in front of the goal when Wang Chu successfully broke through to the byline.
His 191cm height advantage was fully displayed.
In the scramble inside the penalty area, Wang Chu’s pass successfully found Wood.
Wood didn’t even need to jump; he just flicked his head slightly and the ball flew steadily into the left corner of the goal.
GOAL!!!
He scored!
1:0!!!
Leicester City finally broke the deadlock!
This goal also ignited the passion of the fans in the stadium!
Even though Wood scored, the entire crowd began to chant Wang Chu’s name in unison.
“Wangchu!!”
“Wangchu!!”
“Wangchu!!”
“…”
Wang Chu happily responded to the fans’ cheers.
The game continued.
After conceding a goal, York City’s initial defensive mindset also dissipated.
Since they were already behind, they might as well go all out and try to press for a goal, hoping for a chance to score.
With the change in tactics, Leicester City immediately felt some defensive pressure.
However, this pressure wasn’t very strong.
When York City's attack reached the edge of the penalty area, it was easily suppressed by Leicester City’s defense.
Their two consecutive attacks ended in failure, and York City finally realized the extent of their gap with their opponent.
In the 69th minute, another chance arose.
York City hoped to break through on Leicester City’s left side.
Therefore, they had been attacking Leicester City’s left side relentlessly.
Leicester City’s left-winger, Lloyd Dyer, also timely retreated to defend.
Leicester City’s entire midfield also shifted towards the left side.
Wang Chu was now in the center position.
Left-back De Laet intercepted the ball and immediately cleared it with a kick.
The ball wobbled toward Wang Chu’s feet.
Returning to the midfield position, Wang Chu seemed incredibly comfortable.
The two York City midfielders naturally wouldn’t let him turn around easily when they saw Wang Chu with the ball, and they immediately pressed forward.
However, knowing that Wang Chu had excellent physical strength and footwork, they did not get too close to him.
So Wang Chu, with the ball, casually walked two steps towards his side of the field.
The two York City midfielders immediately pressed forward.
That was exactly the effect Wang Chu wanted. After attracting the two York City midfielders, York City’s midfield was like a vast prairie, completely open.
Drinkwater was a player sought after by Premier League clubs. Naturally, he saw the opening.
“Wangchu!!! Pass it!”
He quickly ran forward and kept asking for the ball from Wang Chu.
Wang Chu gently chipped the ball onto Drinkwater’s forward running path, quickly turned around, and bypassed the two midfielders, also sprinting toward the front field.
Four against four in the front field!!!!
By now, the two York City midfielders knew the serious mistake they had made.
They wanted to regain possession before Drinkwater.
However!
How could they be faster than Drinkwater, who was already running?
After receiving the ball, Drinkwater carried it past midfield.
However, the two York City midfielders, who were quickly backtracking, had already closed in on Drinkwater. If he continued to dribble, it was likely he’d be dispossessed.
No hesitation!
Drinkwater passed the ball to Wang Chu, who was unmarked.
Wang Chu received the ball, facing the two York City center-backs.
His feet kept pedaling the bicycle, suddenly creating space towards the byline, immediately raised his foot, and pretended to shoot.
The two York City defenders immediately threw themselves forward, raising their feet to block Wang Chu’s shot.
However, they didn’t expect that Wang Chu wasn’t actually trying to shoot. Wang Chu was very self-aware of his shooting ability.
Fake shot, real fake!
Wang Chu directly knocked the ball to his left.
Because Wang Chu had attracted the attention of the two center-backs, there was no one within 2 meters of the left-sided striker Vardy.
Wang Chu passed the ball in front of Vardy, and Vardy didn’t hesitate, directly raising his foot and blasting a shot.
It was like a shooting practice, allowing Vardy to shoot comfortably.
Whoosh!!!
GOAL!!!
The ball flew into the net. The final score was 2:0.
Vardy, who had scored, excitedly hugged Wang Chu: “Wangchu!!! That pass was so perfect! It was like someone had chewed up the bread and fed it to me.”
