Chapter 130 Understanding and Implementation

As a forward who weighs more than 200 catties, Lukaku likes to use his speed to eat his opponents raw.

He can use reasonable positioning and physical advantages to keep opponents behind.

Scored 15 Premier League goals last season, showing his high-intensity confrontation and shooting skills in the penalty area.

Facing the defensively fragile Leicester City team, coach Martinez hopes to use his super impact to open the door to victory for the team.

In the first 15 minutes, Lukaku did well enough.

Not only can he use his body to forcibly enter the opponent's penalty area, but he can also return the ball to create opportunities for his teammates.

Facing such an oppressive center forward, Leicester City's defense did not dare to be careless.

Commander Kan, as a defensive midfielder, not only has to be responsible for defense, but also has to be the first barrier to intercept passes.

Keeping Lukaku out of the ball is the first step in limiting him.

But Everton's offense is not only in the middle, but Lennon and Naismith on the wing can also create opportunities.

In the 18th minute, Naismith made a diagonal pass from the left to the goal. Lukaku and Upson collided fiercely in order to fight for the top, and both fell to the ground.

The team doctor entered the field, and Upson was in a worse condition. He was allowed to enter the field after receiving treatment off the field.

In the 25th minute, the captain of Leicester City received a yellow card while defending Lukaku and gave his opponent a free kick from outside the penalty area.

It's a pity that Naismith's shot went over the bar.

Leicester City's defense looked fragile in front of Lukaku.

Especially Morgan, who received a yellow card in the first half, had a great impact on the subsequent games.

Lukaku was also very smart to find Morgan, and deliberately made physical contact with him, hoping to get him a second yellow card and be sent off.

During this period of time, Pearson has been fidgeting. After Morgan took the card, he even stood in the command area and never returned to his seat.

Everton's 4-2-3-1 can make good use of depth for offensive and defensive transitions, limiting the insertion of two wingers.

Lennon's right flank put Schlupp firmly in his own half.

Fortunately, Schlupp's vertical defensive ability is good, so that he can suppress the opponent's offense in time and cut off the opponent's connection with the center with Cambiasso.

But Everton can use their personal ability, transfer the ball to the other side, and then try to attack.

This kind of oppressive style of play made Leicester City players feel pressured.

With speed, breakthroughs, crosses, and high points, how should Everton defend like this?

In the game against Arsenal, Leicester City used a high position to press and fight with their opponents in the midfield.

But Everton is different from Arsenal's passing and cutting, which requires the overall cooperation of the players.

In the counterattack, they only need two or three teams to create a threat.

Leicester City were forced to play the ball very hard, returning the ball to the goalkeeper many times.

Shhh!
There were boos at Goodison Park.

In order to help his teammates share the pressure, Rossi retreated to the midfield to meet, while Vardy raised his position and played on the two sides.

This is Vardy's most threatening area of ​​activity. He only needs one pass, and he can gallop freely in the space behind the opponent.

But the question is, how to pass the ball?

The team does not have a playmaker, Rossi retreats and is strictly guarded by the midfielder, it is difficult to have a chance to play the ball.

Unable to attack for a long time, Pearson took advantage of the opportunity of a throw-in and whispered a few words to Mahrez.

After the boundary ball was taken, Mahrez received a through ball from Rossi on his way forward quickly.

Mahrez was dumbfounded, and Pearson was even more shocked.

The time for the throw-in was short, and Pearson could only briefly explain the tactics to Mahrez, letting him get the ball forward and use dribbling to tear through the defense.

Next, he has to remind other players of the adjustment of his tactical offensive direction.

However, without any instructions, Rossi passed the ball the moment Mahrez advanced, as if he had already known the coach's tactics.

This must be a coincidence, it must have been passed the ball when Mahrez was unguarded.

Although Rossi made the right choice, Pearson does not believe that Rossi knows his tactics clearly without being prompted.

After Mahrez received the ball, he was flanked instantly. He used his fast-footed technique to always control the ball under his feet.

Pearson hurriedly asked other players to support, and took advantage of the gap to advance and create opportunities.

But it was Rossi who appeared in the most suitable position at the first time.

"Pass the ball!"

Mahrez, who was double-teamed, heard his teammates shouting and poked the ball out of the gap.Rossi used the outer instep of his right foot to push the ball forward and took advantage of the momentum.

The sudden start of the ball caught Everton defender Stones a little by surprise. He turned around and chased back, and found that the speed of this boy from the British Championship was astonishingly fast.

However, Everton's defense line was too high, and Rossi's shortcomings in long-distance sprints gradually emerged, giving Stones plenty of time to recover.

Rossi passed the ball to the left, and there, there was a guy who was faster than him, and his name was Vardy.

Amid the exclamation of the home fans, Vardy crossed from the space between the full-back and the central defender. After receiving a pass from Rossi, he strode the ball and entered the penalty area in an instant.
Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he shot directly, and the ball flew to the upper left corner of the goal.

With such a violent shot, the goalkeeper has nothing to do. He stands still and prays that the ball will miss or hit the goal post.

But on a single-handed ball, Vardy rarely misses.

[GOAL! ! ! 】

[The Leicester City team, which has been under pressure, actually took the lead in the away game. 】

[This conceded goal is inexplicable, Everton's defense was easily pierced like this. 】

Vardy, after scoring the goal, opened his arms and ran towards Rossi.

"Luo, the amount given in advance is perfect and very comfortable." Vardy wished he could kiss him a few times.

Before Rossi returned, he had only scored three goals in the previous [-] games.

Now that he has scored consecutive goals in two games, and they are all assisted by Rossi, how can you not like him.

Pearson also waved his fists passionately, venting his suppressed emotions.

The team hasn't had this sharp offense for a long time.

"Steven, what do you think of this goal, is it really luck?" Henry asked with a smile.

As a midfielder for Liverpool and England, Gerrard naturally sees the key.

"Leicester City's offense can't be played because the midfielder gives too little support to the striker. Especially for a team like them with long passes and fast attacks, the midfielder must pass the ball quickly."

"The No. 26 has been suppressed in the half court before. When he advances, he can get the ball in Everton's ribs and attract the defensive attention of two players. At this time, the teammates' advances can easily penetrate the defense."

Gerald thought for a while, and let out a "hiss" in his mouth.

"No, this tactic must not have been arranged before. Because they have been suppressed for a long time, that No. 26 has no intention of going forward."

He recalled the process before the goal, and said: "It must be a tactic temporarily arranged by the coach to let him go forward."

Henry said: "Having said that, the coach arranged tactics on the spot and must remind other players to cooperate. But just after the serve, Leicester City's offense seemed to be arranged in advance. This offensive idea is very clear and simple. It caught the opponent by surprise."

Gerrard agreed: "If it is not arranged in advance and can play such a smooth offense, then the players have a very strong ability to read the game. As the transformation hub of this offense..."

"It's Rossi!" the two said in unison.

Gerrard smiled and said: "If Everton players are resolute in implementing tactics, then Leicester City is a thorough understanding of the game."

"The outcome of this game will be difficult to predict."
