Chapter 706: League Cup Champion
With the Community Shield decided and Leicester City won the title, the 2015/2016 Premier League season kicked off on 8 August, with Leicester City hosting Sunderland in the first round.
This opponent is not strong, and Leicester City, who are playing at home, won 5-1 unsurprisingly to lead the table on goal difference.
In the second round, the Foxes played West Ham United away, and Leicester City won 4-1.
It wasn't until the third round that Leicester City welcomed their first rival of the new season: Tottenham Hotspur.
However, after pre-season training, the Community Shield, and two Premier League trainings, the new teammates have basically completed the integration, and the cooperation has been greatly improved compared with the Community Shield.
While Tottenham scored two goals at the King Power Stadium, Leicester City scored five to secure a 5-2 home win over Tottenham to remain at the top of the table.
The Premier League side then joined the second round of the English League Cup, with Leicester City away to lower division side Todd Boehly, with the Foxes comfortably progressing to the next round with a 3-0 win on the road.
Leicester City's schedule this season is quite favourable, with the first five rounds of the tournament not being a strong team except Tottenham, giving Leicester City plenty of time to settle in after a change of manager and a large number of new players.
In the fourth and fifth rounds, the Blue Foxes played against Bournemouth and Aston Villa successively, and both won by big scores.
In the first five rounds, the Foxes led the standings with a winning record and a huge goal difference, and continued to press the Manchester City team that also won all of them to the second place.
After playing the fifth round of the league, Leicester City welcome their first Champions League game of the season, away to PSV Eindhoven.
Leicester City not only have a favourable league schedule, but also have good luck in the Champions League group, avoiding a number of big teams and being in a group with Wolfsburg, PSV Eindhoven and CSKA Moscow, which also gives the Foxes enough time to settle into the squad and adapt to the rhythm of the Champions League game.
On September 15, in the first round of the Champions League group stage, Leicester City challenged the Eredivisie team PSV Eindhoven away.
After 90 minutes, the score was 2-3 on the big screen, with the home team in front and the away team behind.
In the other game, Wolfsburg won 1-0 at home to CSKA Moscow, with Leicester City topping the group with more goals scored with the same number of points and goal difference.
Back in the domestic league, Leicester City's opponent in the sixth round is Stoke City, which is also not strong, and the Blue Foxes naturally continue to win by a big score.
Surprisingly, Manchester City suffered a Waterloo in this round, losing to West Ham United at their home stadium, which fully proved the difficulty of the Premier League.
The Foxes are three points clear of second-placed Manchester City in the standings.
The Foxes then faced the third round of the Carabao Cup, which happened to be at home to West Ham United.
Riding on the momentum of an away win over Manchester City, West Ham United have shown extraordinary form in this Carabao Cup fixture.
After 120 minutes of hard work, Leicester City relied on a free kick from Lu Wenbin in extra time to defeat West Ham United 4-3 and advance to the next round.
The Carabao Cup consumed too much energy and form from Leicester City, and when they returned to the league, they happened to meet Arsenal, who were in great form.
Coupled with the Champions League next up to play, Ranieri has reservations in the starting line-up.
Therefore, in the 7th round of the Premier League on September 26, Leicester City lost 2-3 at home to Arsenal and lost the first game of the new season.
But fortunately, Manchester City suffered two consecutive defeats, also lost to Tottenham in this round, and continued to trail Leicester City by three points.
After playing a league game against Arsenal, Leicester City welcome their first Champions League home of the season against Wolfsburg in the second round of the group stage.
Leicester City, who had reservations against Arsenal in the last round, played a hearty victory in Foxes City, giving a classic game to Leicester City fans at home.
The Blue Foxes finally swept Wolfsburg with a score of 5-0, and Lu Wenbin scored four goals alone, detonating the Imperial Power Stadium.
Leicester City have won their next two league games to continue to lead the table.
After that, it was the third round of the Champions League, with Leicester City away to CSKA Moscow.
Although the weather was a bit cold, it was fortunate that it was not the winter snow season, and Leicester City finally won 2-1 away from home, and won the group with nine points from three games.
As time progressed, the tacit understanding of the whole Leicester City team deepened, and the Blue Foxes went hand in hand on all fronts, unstoppable.
In the league, Leicester City only lost one game and drew one in half a season, and won the rest.
Other teams, on the other hand, have consumed too much in the strong dialogue, and the gap between them and Leicester City is getting wider and wider.
At the end of the 19th round of the league on 29 December, Leicester City finished 13 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal to win the halfway game, a bigger margin than last season's lead over Chelsea.
In the League Cup, the Blue Foxes defeated Hull City and Manchester City successively to advance to the semi-finals, and they are getting closer and closer to the final.
In the Champions League, Leicester City also achieved a record of five wins and one loss, topped the group and advanced to the round of 16.
The lost game was only lost because of the early qualification and the deliberate rotation of the lineup.
In 2016, Leicester City continued to make great progress under the leadership of Lu Wenbin.
In the league, the Blue Foxes did not stay, because they had to win the championship in advance to prepare for the FA Cup, Champions League and other titles.
The giants of the Premier League rarely won well when facing Leicester City led by Lu Wenbin.
Leicester City, under the leadership of Lu Wenbin, has maintained a high winning rate and a leading position in the standings.
In the FA Cup, which began in January, Leicester City also won all the way to the quarter-finals.
As for the Carabao Cup, Leicester City also beat Everton in the semi-finals to advance to the final and will face Liverpool for the title.
On 28 February 2016, the English League Cup final was held at Wembley Stadium.
In the league, Liverpool are currently in seventh place and have not even qualified for the Europa League.
Therefore, Liverpool still attaches great importance to the League Cup that can qualify for the Europa League, and will go all out with Leicester City at Wembley Stadium.
But in order to complete the task of winning the seven crowns of the year, Lu Wenbin naturally worked harder.
In the end, Liverpool did not fight for Lu Wenbin, who opened the plug-in.
Lu Wenbin scored more goals alone than the entire Liverpool team.
At the end of the 90 minutes, the score was 5-2 on the big screen, and Lu Wenbin completed a hat-trick and provided an assist to lead Leicester City to the 2015/2016 English League Cup.
Although this has nothing to do with the Triple Crown of the club's main quest, it is the first of the seven Crown quests of the year, which is a good start.
