Although the Chinese team, which won the Asian Cup, held a series of celebrations after returning home, the scale of the celebrations was much smaller than when they first won the Asian Cup in 2011.
After all, having won the third place in the Confederations Cup and the fourth place in the World Cup, it is really hard to celebrate the Asian Cup championship.
As for Lu Wenbin, he didn't even return to China. He flew directly back to the UK from Australia, ready to continue participating in the remaining Premier League games.
During Lu Wenbin's participation in the Asian Cup, Leicester City first lost to Newcastle in the FA Cup with a substitute lineup and was eliminated easily.
Then, Leicester City played three more league games, losing two and winning only one.
When Lu Wenbin left after the 20th round of the league, Leicester City had 57 points, 11 points ahead of second-placed Chelsea.
After Lu Wenbin returned from the Asian Cup, Leicester City's points only increased by 3 points to 60 points.
Fortunately, Mourinho's Chelsea did not win all three league games, and one of them was tied 1-1 against Manchester City.
So, after the 23rd round of the league, Leicester City still led second-placed Chelsea by 7 points.
In the 24th round of the league, Lu Wenbin has returned.
The media and fans have already foreseen that Leicester City will stage a miracle of newly promoted team under the leadership of Lu Wenbin and win the Premier League title in the first season after promotion.
Sure enough, on February 7, in the 24th round of the league, Leicester City faced Crystal Palace at home. The Foxes, led by Lu Wenbin, defeated their opponents 4-0, announcing Leicester City's strong recovery.
On February 11, in the 25th round of the league, Leicester City played away against Arsenal.
Arsenal was in great form with the cheers from the home fans, scoring 3 goals.
But Leicester City was more powerful. Lu Wenbin scored a goal and an assist hat trick, leading Leicester City to a 4-3 victory at the Emirates Stadium and left with a 3-point victory.
In the 26th round, Leicester City played away against Everton and continued to win 3-0, while Chelsea was tied by Burnley in this round, and the Foxes' lead over Chelsea reached 9 points.
In the 27th round, Leicester City faced Chelsea at home, ushering in a direct dialogue between the two sides and a game worth 6 points.
Chelsea held back in the last round in order to defeat Leicester City in this direct confrontation, but ended up being tied by Burnley due to their carelessness.
After being tied by Burnley, Chelsea has no way out and must defeat Leicester City to narrow the gap between the two sides and retain hopes of winning the championship.
On February 29, the crucial 27th round of the 2014/2015 Premier League match between Leicester City and Chelsea at home officially began.
If Chelsea wants to win, they can only attack.
On the Leicester City side, Pearson originally wanted to play a defensive counterattack, but after being persuaded by Lu Wenbin, he gave up the idea and started to attack Chelsea.
Lu Wenbin’s reason was to use this game to show the temperament of Leicester City.
After more than half a season of intense Premier League experience and under the guidance of Lu Wenbin, Kante's defensive talent has been thoroughly stimulated and has reached the level of the world's top defensive midfielder, not inferior to his predecessor Makelele.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin had enough confidence to get into position early and lead his teammates in the frontcourt to attack Chelsea.
If it was just an ordinary team, Lu Wenbin would naturally only need to lead the team to win, win the championship and complete the mission.
But now that Lu Wenbin himself is also a shareholder of Leicester City, he not only needs to consider winning the championship, but also winning beautifully, attracting more neutral fans, expanding Leicester City's market prospects, increasing sales of ancillary products such as jerseys and shoes, and increasing his own dividend income.
With this idea in mind, Lu Wenbin proposed a counterattack, and Pearson chose to accept it after careful consideration.
On the one hand, even though Lu Wenbin is the team captain, the top star, and one of the owners, he does not have enough confidence to oppose it.
On the other hand, in terms of points, Leicester City is 9 points ahead of Chelsea. Even if they lose, they still have a 6-point advantage, which gives Pearson confidence.
Therefore, this crucial Premier League battle that finally started at the King Power Stadium, presented to the fans at the scene and in front of the TV, was the most classic super offensive battle of this Premier League season.
The game had just started. Lu Wenbin, who got the right to kick off, saw that Cech was a little forward, so he shot directly after the kick-off.
Under the shocked gaze of the entire audience, Cech retreated somewhat awkwardly and pushed the ball over the crossbar.
Lu Wenbin almost created the fastest goal in the history of the Premier League or even world football.
This shot set the tone for the game.
Although the opening shot did not score, Lu Wenbin assisted Vardy to score Leicester City's first goal in the 4th minute.
But just 5 minutes later, in the 9th minute, Chelsea equalized the score with Drogba's violent shot after receiving a pass from Hazard.
The two sides were going back and forth, fighting hard, all moving forward, forward, forward. There were few returns, and all the actions of the players on both sides were aimed at breaking through and shooting.
On Lu Wenbin's side, there are Lu Wenbin and Vardy, Mahrez, Drinkwater and others who have grown rapidly under his guidance. On Chelsea's side, there are superstars such as Hazard, Fabregas, Drogba and Costa.
The fierce offensive battle between the top two teams in the Premier League gave all the fans at the scene and in front of the TV a surge of adrenaline, and the neutral fans were feasting their eyes.
Before the end of the first half, both sides had scored a total of 5 goals, with Leicester City leading 3-2.
In the second half, both sides did not hold back at all and continued to attack and bombard each other almost without any counterattack.
After 90 minutes, the score on the big screen was 5-4. Leicester City defeated Chelsea at home by only one goal and won this strong dialogue.
In one game, both sides scored 9 goals, almost breaking the double digit, which is extremely rare in the Premier League and is enough to rank among the top games with the most goals in a single Premier League game.
As Lu Wenbin wished, this game attracted more neutral fans to like Leicester City.
Because Leicester City not only won the game, but also won beautifully, winning the offensive battle against the superstar-studded Chelsea, increasing their lead over Chelsea to 12 points, and the championship is in sight.
Next, Leicester City, which has no European competitions and gave up the FA Cup and League Cup, will continue to focus on the league under the leadership of Lu Wenbin.
In the 28th round, it was another tough battle against the wealthy Manchester City.
In the last round of the league, there was a fierce battle with Chelsea. Several players were injured or suspended due to yellow cards, which had a significant impact on Leicester City's lineup for the 28th round of the game.
The Foxes eventually drew 2-2 with Manchester City away from home, while Chelsea won the game and narrowed the gap to 10 points.
But there are fewer and fewer games left in this season's Premier League, with only 10 rounds left.
