The revelation, Leicester, beat champions Chelsea

The revelation of the Premier League won again. This time his victim was the defending champion , and climbed to the top of the league English.

Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez This are the names of each match Leicester City and now could not be otherwise . Both maintain his scoring pace. Vardy opened the scoring against Chelsea but not only starred for his goal, but for injuring Blue Star. Defeat those of Jose Mourinho that evidence, once again, the lack of attitude, skill and performance of the workforce as a whole.

The worst news for the London club is not defeat but the injury of Eden Hazard . Vardy input in the first half silenced all fans of Chelsea until the worst was confirmed. I had to leave the pitch injured by a sore hip that was only the harbinger of the fateful night that he would live this equipment.

Just three minutes later the change, Vardy opened the account . A cross between plants with adequate power and placement, so that the front fusile to Thibaut Courtois literally unopposed. With the match already on track, they left the break but the second part still give more excitement to shock.

Riyad Mahrez, the best player so far this season, made ​​it 2-0 after 48 minutes . He dribbled into the area under pressure from César Azpilicueta , and hole was dug where it was impossible to get to Courtois. Everything on track with Leicester in grace.

Mourinho tried to reverse the situation exhausting their changes in the second half and was one who pulled one back, but was insufficient. Loic Remy put the final 2-1 in the mail to make up the result . In vain the Blue effort facing no opposition from the staff throughout the 90 minutes. In fact, Diego Costa protested their peers in both Vardy his team was 'asleep'.

Drop shadow already beginning to glimpse at Stamford Bridge . Mourinho is not being able to lift the slump that dragged from earlier this season but coach insists on claiming that the results are due to bad luck. The reality is that Chelsea sum only 48 possible 15 points while going Leicester relieve road on the throne of the Premier League as the next champion.

Leicester City has regained the lead in the Premier League, who had temporarily snatched the Arsenal , after winning Monday to Chelsea (2-1) in the match that closed the sixteenth round of the English Championship, where the team 'blue' is just one point from relegation.

The surprising Leicester has returned to the top spot, two more than Arsenal and three points on Manchester City, backed by stellar couple who are shaping this season Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy, authors of many that the home team ahead twice.

English, top scorer in the Premier with 15 goals, finished off the network in the first part of the Algerian center, who beat in the second half to Thibaut Courtois with a perfect thread to put the 2-0 on the scoreboard. With the entry of Pedro Rodriguez and Cesc Fabregas, both alternate boot, Chelsea improved, but did not help to claim the draw.

The Canaries striker left his marker and put a pinpoint cross to the head of Loic Remy , who scored at will and gave hope to his team in the absence of a quarter hours. However, the team coached by Jose Mourinho had no strength to more and gave his ninth league defeat.

Jose Mourinho: I was betrayed by my players

Jose Mourinho returns to the fray. After losing 2-1 at Leicester City, Chelsea coach heavily loaded against their players and especially against Eden Hazard . Where is the ninth defeat in Premier League coach feels "betrayed" by their own players.

"I feel that my players have betrayed me," he said after the match against 'Sky Sports'. "Hazard in 10 seconds I made the decision for itself. It must be a serious injury because he decided it. His first reaction was that I could not but wanted to try. Then he said he could not and it was his decision. It is clearly injured. I have time to understand what injury was. He tried but felt he could not. "

The team's performance is not as expected. Faced Leicester fell again after losing start and go 2-0 on the scoreboard in the second half. "We were the best durtante a maximum of 30 minutes, but they were an hour. When one of your players does not reach the level that is able to provide, it is hard to see."

The coach of Chelsea also spoke about his continuity at the helm. It is showing blunt about his decision, and hopes that the president supports him. "I want to continue. I hope that Abramovich and the board want to continue".

The level shown by the team is not ideal for the coach. Mourinho hopes his players are used as they do in training. He complains of what happens on the field. "I know no other way to work at the highest level as I do every day. In training, I have no complaints. There are differences between workouts and parties. "

In addition, Mourinho admitted that now have no hope to get into the top four. "Yes, clearly, yes," he said. The drop plans for Stamford Bridge in this ninth defeat in the Premier League coach, and the directive will have to try to reverse this situation.

France reaffirms its role of favorite against Switzerland, Albania and Romania EURO 2016

The draw for Euro 2016 with Switzerland , Albania and Romania as rivals in Group A, reaffirmed the role of favourite in the France, the host of the tournament, in a quartet with light Forecast for team 'bleu' three secondary combined in this continental football against.

Or Switzerland, who has never passed the group stage of the tournament, and Romania, whose best result is the quarterfinals of 2000, or Albania, debutants and a historical record of European official matches only includes 18 wins 93 duels, are today up to the powerful Gallic set.

He accompanied the luck to France, twice European champion (1984 and 2000) and once the World (1998), which neither the internal conflict with the French Karim Benzema , section of the selection for his alleged involvement in the 'case Valbuena ', detract points as candidate number one to the first position towards the second round.

Directed by Didier Deschamps , without the burden contest the long qualifying for being a organizer and men as Antoine Griezmann , Paul Pogba , Raphael Varane , Blaise Matuidi , Olivier Giroud or Anthony Martial, including a block of very good players all that is not first group will be a disappointment for France, which will open the tournament on June 10.

It will do in Saint Denis in front of Romania, who returns to after his absence in 2012 tournament and a qualifying unbeaten, which has distributed wins and draws, five of each, to close the round in second place , behind Ireland North, and with only two goals conceded in ten games.

Sus, sensational in the previous round, defensive data caution against any overconfidence to France, which also will cross Switzerland, also second in the standings, behind this solid England. It has never passed the first stage of the tournament in their previous three appearances: 1996, 2004 and 2008.

Now he wants more, with the mainline and lateral speed Stephan Lichsteiner, of Juventus , or forward Xherdan Shaqiri , now at Stoke City , two of its currently outstanding names and their arguments to fight as a minimum by the second square and disturb the foreseeable leadership of France.

The options are much more limited for Albania, in its historic debut in the finals of the European Championship.

And awaits your desired premiere on June 11 against Switzerland in Lens.

Lewandowski and Yarmolenko threatening superiority of Germany

The superiority of Germany in Group C, where the selection of Joachim Löw is the clear favorite to reach the first position in the second round of the European Championship, will be threatened by the figures of Robert Lewandowski and Andriy Yarmolenko , figures from Poland and Ukraine, respectively, to fight alongside the weak Northern Ireland stand up to the Germans.

The current world champion in Brazil 2014 should not have any problem to pass the group stage. His rival, a priori, are minor, although their figures are worthy of review and can always embarrass the German roller rows.

Löw will lead a group of players who are known to spare. The group that won in Brazil remains almost the same, with a slight variation, like Ilkay Gündogan, now usually accompany the midfield Toni Kroos , without names like Mertesacker, Lahm and Klose , either the "Mannschaft".

Germany will have few variants above, practically Thomas Müller will be the great reference, but other lines scares with proven quality players like goalkeeper Manuel Neuer , defenders Mats Hummels and Jerome Boateng and midfielders Mesut Ozil, Marco Reus and Mario Götze .

The box Löw is a whole arsenal of resources that other teams have to deal with individuals such as Robert Lewandowski, Poland, took a ticket with Germany in Group D of the qualifiers.

He did brilliantly, to chain his third consecutive European Championship after 2012 in Poland and Ukraine and Austria Switzerland 2008. He even went on to win 2-0 to Germany in one of the two parties that faced the box Löw.

Lewandowski, one of the form players in Europe, will be the biggest threat to the other teams, which should also take into account Grzegorz Krychowiak and Jakub Blaszczykowski . The growth of both in midfield and wisdom of technical Adam Nawałka , who managed to squeeze the level Lewandowski Bayern , compose an interesting option in Group C.

Equally frightening is the duo that formed in Ukraine Yarmolenko and Yevhen Konoplyanka Sevilla. Both, one on each side, representing the greatest danger of a team that needed a play-off to reach the European Championship. However, the low level of the other players.

Still, the presence of Yarmolenko, who could not leave the Dynamo Kiev although it has been claimed by big clubs like Chelsea, and the steady growth of Konoplyanka, be sufficient grounds for Ukraine to apply as an alternative to Germany.

The fourth in discord, Northern Ireland, and held their place in the finals as a prize. With permission of the selections in 1982 and 1986, they played world of Spain and Mexico , the generation that directs Michael O'Neill has already made ​​history after first coming to the competition.

Northern Ireland will rely on the technical strength of a group and a player: Kyle Lafferty . Norwich player is the star of Northern Ireland and their seven goals in qualifying, represent hope for any country that wishes to give a surprise to the candidates powerful Germany and Poland and Ukraine.
