Chapter 136: Chapter 132
In the live broadcast room of Sky Sports TV, today's two commentators are Premier League celebrities.
Alan Shearer and Jamie Carragher.
It is no exaggeration to say that they are Premier League legends.
Alan Shearer is a Premier League and England national team star. He is a Premier League champion, Premier League Golden Boot, European Cup top scorer... numerous honors, coupled with his hard-working and passionate style of play and his straightforward and sincere character, have made him an idol for many fans.
Carragher is also an English legend. During his time with Liverpool, he was the vice-captain and the second-most-capped player. The Champions League, UEFA Cup, European Super Cup, FA Cup, League Cup... 11 golden trophies are his honor.
After retiring, both were invited to become commentators and pundits for Sky TV.
Alan Shearer was calm in his expression and professional in his analysis, while Carragher was sharp in his words and very passionate.
The duo is Sky TV's signature brand.
The two had just commented on two games a day ago.
Newcastle lost 0-2 to defending champions Manchester City, and Liverpool beat Southampton 2-1 at home.
Carragher was in a good mood after seeing Liverpool win and was excited all day.
But Alan Shearer was not in a good mood.
Because the losing teams, Newcastle and Southampton, were places where Alan Shearer had played.
He started at Southampton and reached the peak of his career at Newcastle.
He has deep feelings for both teams.
Seeing that Carragher was in a good mood, Alan Shearer didn't say anything, but he was not in a good mood.
And when he heard Carragher say, "In this game, they being able to draw with Everton at home, would be the biggest success...", Alan Shearer couldn't help it.
"Man, you are too pessimistic about Leicester City, aren't you?"
"Why? From what you said, you have a good impression of this team?"
"How can I not have a good impression of a team that has made it to the Premier League through its own efforts and created a miracle of winning the FA Cup?"
"Okay, I admit you're right, but their strength is there. You can't expect a group of players who have been abandoned by other small teams to form a strong Premier League fighting force, right? This is not the Championship."
"Other small teams? From what you said, it seems like you are dissing someone."
"Yes, it's Manchester United! They are a small team in my heart!"
"Okay, I don't care about the grudges between you. Anyway, I am more interested in Leicester City in this game."
"So you support Leicester City?"
"You seem to be leading me on? I won't be fooled. I have no opinion on whether I support them or not. I am just looking forward to the performance of Leicester City, the new Premier League team, and I am looking forward to many of Leicester City's players."
"for example?"
"For example, the combination of the strong Ulloa and the fast Vardy, as well as Mahrez and Xia flying on both wings, are very interesting."
"Well, I don't want to spoil your fun now, but for a Championship-level team like Leicester City, I think they have to prove that they deserve to play in the Premier League first."
Facing a team composed of many former Manchester United players, Carragher always spoke sharply and impolitely.
At this time, the players of both teams have entered the field, and the referee whistles and the game begins!
As soon as the game starts, Everton launches a single-handed attack!
Veteran Barry controls the ball steadily in the middle, passing it to Pienaar and McCarthy!
Suddenly, a diagonal pass was made!
Mcgeady received the ball on the right side!
Facing De Laet's interception, Mcgeady, who was good at passing the ball, decisively knocked it sideways!
Lukaku in the middle squeezed Konchesky and shot the ball, but it slipped just wide of the goal!
Just a little bit!
Just after the start of the game, Everton launched a threatening attack.
Schmeichel threw the ball to right-back Simpson, who made a short pass forward.
Unlike Moore's style of rushing forward as soon as he receives the ball, Simpson's defense is more stable.
Mahrez received the ball and accelerated with it!
Pienaar and Baines stepped forward to defend.
Mahrez had no room to move forward and chose to pass the ball sideways.
Cambiasso received the ball in the middle and passed it forward to Vardy.
Everton's defense was solid and the defensive distance was reasonable, so Vardy didn't have much space to sprint.
He passed the ball to Ulloa, who forced a volley from the top of the penalty area.
The ball was intercepted by defender Stones.
It's Everton's attack again.
This time the ball went left.
Pienaar received the ball and accelerated, Mahrez returned to defense!
He immediately passed it to Barry sideways, Barry pushes it diagonally!
Pienaar receives the ball again!
Mahrez is thrown off!
Simpson goes for it, but this time Pienaar doesn't seek cooperation.
A Direct 45-degree cross!
Looking for Lukaku!
Lukaku knocked Konchesky away again!
"Header!
"The ball went straight to the far corner!"
"Schmeichel jumped up and punched the ball out with both fists!
"That was close!
"Just five minutes into the game, Everton created two very threatening attacks!
"Although they haven't scored a goal yet, Everton's strength advantage is obvious!
"As a newcomer to the Premier League, Leicester City still has a long way to go!
"It will be difficult for them to maintain a draw in this match.
"Although I don't have much feeling for Everton,
I still think they can easily win this game.
"I predict this game will be at least 3-0!"
Carragher's voice was sharp and many fans in front of the TV were scolding him.
The main reason is that both sides of the game had no good feelings towards him, or were even very unhappy with him.
Needless to say, Everton and Liverpool have a naked hatred for each other, so they naturally don't like the former Liverpool veteran.
Leicester City fans were originally indifferent, but Carragher kept belittling their team, which caused Leicester City fans to curse.
Compared to Carragher, Alan Shearer next to him is much more likable.
"Everton's two attacks just now were indeed wonderful, and Lukaku also showed the strength of a top striker.
"They deserve to be fifth in the Premier League last season, they are really good.
"But Leicester City's passing and defense were also very solid and there were many highlights."
Alan Shearer is not being polite.
Although Leicester City was attacked twice by Everton just now, they did not give the opponent an absolute chance.
When he attacked the goal for the first time, Lukaku had already lost the shooting angle, and forcing the shot had no effect.
For the second header, Pienaar had no chance to move forward, so he chose to cross the ball at a 45-degree angle.
Although Lukaku's header was of high quality, Leicester City's defense in the penalty area was not bad either.
For the first Premier League game, the Leicester City team first strengthened their defense.
For example, in the attack just now, apart from the two forwards, only Mahrez participated in the attack.
Even Xia was defending in midfield.
Pearson kept shouting to the team from the sidelines.
Making press down gestures with his hand to give continuous reminders.
Be more stable!
Be more stable!
Our opponent today is very strong!
First, make sure we don't lose the ball, then we can think about attacking!
