Chapter 172

In many cases, it is the player's state and the rhythm of the game that determine the outcome of the game.

Despite the bad luck, goals are a matter of time for a team whose tempo and form are on the line.

Of course there are surprises.

Throughout the game, they stormed around their opponents and rubbed against the ground, but no goals were scored.

Instead, at the end of the game, the opponent took advantage of an opportunity that was not a chance and scored a goal.

This result occurs because the opponent's rhythm and state have always been there.

It's just because the strength gap between the two sides is too large, which makes people mistakenly think that the weaker side has no status.

But once the opportunity arises, the goal is fair.

Sunderland is now 1:4 behind, and the players have lost their desire to win the game.

The state is low, such a team, even if he scores another goal, it can't change the decline of the whole game.

Leicester City still tried to make a fuss in the middle, threatening the opponent's goal step by step, but mistakes continued.

In the 80th minute, Leicester City's pass was blocked in midfield, and Sunderland took advantage of the victory to pursue, and forward Steven Fletcher scored a goal.

But this goal still can't change anything.

Because of the rhythm of the entire game, it has been under the control of Leicester City.

They just took advantage of an opponent's mistake and scored a goal, and they were sure that the opponent would not give them another chance.

After conceding the ball, Ranieri made substitution adjustments, Mahrez and De Laet went off, and defenders Ben Aruane and Fox came on.

Schlupp, who originally played left back, became a left midfielder.

With his lateral sweeping coverage, Leicester City's defensive hardness in the midfield has risen to a notch.

Even if there is a mistake, Schlupp can rush to make up the defense as soon as possible.

In the 82nd minute, Ranieri made the last substitution adjustment, and Kanter replaced Vardy.

The three rookies on the starting list have all completed their debuts in the team.

In the last 10 minutes, the two sides did not score again. Leicester City defeated Sunderland 4:2 in the first round.

Ranieri was not immersed in the joy of victory, but after shaking hands with the opposing coach, he turned and walked into the locker room.

Craig organized the players to stay on the field and thank the fans present for their support.

All ten Premier League games in the first round ended with Manchester City away at West Brom 3-0.

In addition to the own goals of Manchester United and Tottenham in the opening game, Arsenal lost to West Ham United 0:2 at home, which was quite an upset.

Everton was drawn by newly promoted Watford, which also exceeded the expectations of many fans.

Leicester City, once underestimated by the media, actually won the first round with the biggest score.

But the focus of the first round is not the game, but off the court.

The conflict between Chelsea coach Mourinho and the female team doctor caused discordant voices in the locker room.

Leicester City's next opponent is the "Hammer Gang" West Ham United.

Coincidentally, Leicester City's relegation battle last season started with this East London team.

This season, West Ham United spent 1500 million euros to introduce French midfielder Payet from Marseille.

In the first game against Arsenal, it was Payet who used a free kick in the front court to assist his teammates and opened the scoring.

The guest at the London Olympic Stadium, Ranieri discharged and the last round of victory over Sunderland's starting lineup.

West Ham defeated Arsenal in the last round, and now their morale is boosted, and they don't take their opponent Leicester City seriously.

Another highlight of the game was Pixie's airborne landing at the London Olympic Stadium.

As the main venue of the London Olympic Games, Pixie once held a concert here and is very familiar with this stadium.

And what made her the focus was the "big gamble".

Fifty thousand pounds may be nothing in the eyes of a star.

With Rossi's current monthly salary, it is easy to pay for this gambling.

But with an odds of 1:5000, Pixie is giving away for nothing, there is no suspense at all.

Maybe it's like what she said, what's the matter with supporting her boyfriend with a little money, just to have fun?
If you really win the bet, it will be hundreds of millions.

When the two teams were warming up, in order to create an atmosphere, the commentator asked the director to point at Pixie, and bursts of cheers came from the scene.

Pixie was a little sullen, but because of her idol aura, she had to face it calmly.

At that time, she was also in a moment of anger, and changed the original five hundred pounds into fifty thousand in one breath.

Although the money was nothing, it made her the laughing stock of the media for a while, and she was said to be an ignorant girl who was dazzled by love, which caused the music company to deal with it in a hurry.

This time, her boyfriend Rossi finally came to London to play football. She didn't want their meeting to be affected by the strange atmosphere. She took a deep breath and waited quietly for the game to start.

"Luo, this venue is not very friendly to your girlfriend!"

Vardy saw the ironic slogan "[-] pounds to buy a championship" in the stands of the home team fans, and ran to comfort Rossi.

"Jamie!" Rosie said suddenly, "What am I doing to you?"

Vardy was stunned for a moment, then patted his chest and said, "Good brother, there is nothing to say."

"I have a chance today, let me do what I want!" After saying that, Rossi went to sprint to warm up.

Vardy froze.

Today's Luo is a bit unprovoked.

This summer, the Croatian Bilic became the new leader of the Hammer Gang.

Once a member of the Croatian domestic rock band, brings passion to this brand new West Ham United.

Similarly, his passion also infected the home fans, making the stadium that can accommodate 6 people create a terrifying home atmosphere.

Leicester City kick off first.

拉涅利的球队,从普通的4-4-2,变成3-4-3阵型。

But soon, Leicester City was fiercely intercepted by the opponent.

West Ham United's diamond-shaped midfield position gave Leicester City, who wanted to establish an advantage in the middle, a blow.

Both central midfielders have the ability to intercept, and Oxford, who is in the position of a single midfielder, is running around because of his youth, and his defensive coverage is very wide.

The front midfielder Payet is not only fierce in the tackle, but also actively participates in defense.

With a sweeping midfield of four, even if the Premier League giants come, they still have to be afraid of three points.

No wonder Arsenal fell into the sand at the Emirates Stadium. This destructive defense is the simplest and most efficient way to destroy the passing team.

It would be a mistake to define this four-man midfield as a destructive midfielder.

Both Payet and Noble have a precise pass, and after a successful counterattack, they can launch a long pass counterattack on the spot, and give it to Zarate and Sakho on the front line.

Leicester City's constant mistakes in the middle forced Vardy to retreat and participate in the defense, leaving Rossi alone in the striker.

In the 10 minutes of the first half, due to West Ham United's strong offense, none of the Leicester City team's offense could hit the front of the opponent's penalty area, and they huddled in the half-court defense.

In the 11th minute, striker Vardy received a yellow card for a defensive foul, which fully demonstrated the tremendous pressure on Leicester City's defense.

Sitting in the rest area thinking about countermeasures, Ranieri pushed his black-rimmed glasses with his fingers and rubbed his lower lip constantly.

"Sir, we can try to attack from the side." The assistant coach Craig on the side handed over the tactical board and said, "They have space on both wings, which is an opportunity."

Ranieri took a deep breath and said firmly: "No, their lateral coverage is very active. Once we move to the wing, we will be blocked on the wing."

"Then what should we do? We made too many offensive mistakes in the middle, and it is easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity."

As soon as Craig finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamation on the court.

Payet and Kouyat are on the wing, double-teaming Mahrez who has the ball.

Paye made a fierce kick and brought down the ball with the ball.

The referee did not call a foul, and West Ham United formed a good counterattack opportunity in the frontcourt.

After Payet took the ball from the wing, facing Andy King's defense, relying on his excellent physical fitness, he forced a breakthrough from the wing.

Even though Andy King pulled and tugged, he still couldn't stop him from starting.

Just as Payet waded past Andy, a huge force came from behind and knocked him down instantly.

drop!
Payet rolled on the ground, showing pain.

But the Leicester City players knew in their hearts that a person who was really injured couldn't afford such a big wave on the turf.

Amidst the huge boos at home, the referee Anthony Taylor trotted over, showed the offending player a yellow card and took down his number.

Number 24, Rosie!

The boos at home grew louder.

Ranieri angrily rushed to the fourth official in protest.

Rossi shoveled the ball first, just like Payet shoveled Mahrez just now.

But the fourth official shook his head indifferently, firmly believing in the referee's piercing eyes.

After Payet's exaggerated performance, West Ham United got a free kick in a good position, and the high points in West Ham United all squeezed into the penalty area to compete for the top.

The free kick taken by Payet had a very high arc, and after passing the previous point, it suddenly fell sharply.

Goalkeeper Schmeichel was taken aback. It turned out that West Ham United's high point competition was all a cover, and Payet decided to shoot directly from the beginning.

He hurriedly took a few steps back. Seeing that the ball was about to fall into the net, he jumped back, stretched his arms, tightened his core, and barely supported the ball with four fingers.

when!
The ball hit the crossbar, bounced back to the center of the penalty area, and was cleared by Morgan Bigfoot.

Hey!
The home fans shook their heads and exclaimed, if this free kick is scored, it will be one of the best goals in the Premier League this year.

The ball flew to the feet of Schlupp on the left.

After leaning on the defense and turning around, he pushed the ball forward and sprinted desperately.

After getting rid of the defense of the midfielder, the ball was immediately handed over to Albrighton, who had already penetrated into the opponent's right rib.

At this time, West Ham United's defense on the right was basically in place, and Albrighton, under the interception of two defensive players, sent the ball to the right with a big foot.

West Ham's defensive players on this side did not get back in place, and Vardy almost faced the goalkeeper.

However, the cross landed close to the small penalty area, and the goalkeeper rushed out when he saw it.

Before Vardy was about to head the ball, he jumped high, opened his limbs, and expanded the defensive area.

Without any chance to shoot, Vardy did not choose to head the goal, but pointed the ball to the middle.

Here, there is Rossi, his most familiar and trusted teammate.

Rossi was in the high-speed forward drive, and before the ball landed, he volleyed and slammed the ball hard.

Although the goalkeeper flew to make a save, the distance was so close and the strength was so great that he didn't make any judgment on the direction of the ball's flight.

[GOAL! ! ! ! 】

[Who can think of it, who can think of it.Just after a very threatening attack by West Ham United, Leicester City launched a quick counterattack, and Luo volleyed and scored. 】

After scoring the goal, Rossi put his hands down during the sprint and was about to lift up his jersey when he was pulled down by Vardy who arrived in time.

"Luo, you have a card!"

Rossi was so excited that he almost forgot that he had received a yellow card just to vent his anger for Mahrez.

He rushed to the sidelines, facing Pixie's stand, removed the shin guards and displayed them at London's Olympic Stadium.

[Appeared, Luo's classic way of celebrating! 】

[This is a look of love for his girlfriend Pixie, and even more of a strong support for her. 】

[I believe that no woman in the world can resist the romantic confession that belongs to football. 】

[If I were a woman, I would definitely fall in love with him. 】
