Chapter 177 Commander

Although stubbornness will be criticized by the outside world, many coaches don't care.

Because the stubbornness understood by the outside world is actually their persistence in their own tactics, and it is their persistence in achieving successful experience.

Capello's 1:0 doctrine, Eriksson's cronyism, Mourinho doing his own way, Lippi insisting on the interests of the team.

Always be on the defensive, Claudio Ranieri who waits for an opportunity, Guardiola who passes and controls no strikers, and Ancelotti who doesn't like rotation.

Stubbornness is a double-edged sword for a football coach, and good coaches are almost always stubborn.

This kind of stubbornness stems from their self-confidence and past successful experience, but once stubbornness becomes conceited, it will suffer deeply.

In the face of the strong impact of Tottenham, Ranieri still chose the safest style of play.

A draw is the best result, and Tottenham should be the one to worry about.

Ranieri is waiting for his chance.

After Tottenham made the substitution, their tactics were very obvious. They used crosses from the wing to hit Kane, Shazley and Alli in front of the goal.

All three of them are over 187cm tall and have a strong aerial advantage, surpassing the three defenders of Leicester City.

Kanter is responsible for the horizontal interception, and Inle is responsible for the vertical block. This is the first time the two have cooperated, but the effect is surprisingly good.

Tottenham players will be defended by one of the two players in any position in the frontcourt, resulting in less smooth cooperation than before.

As the game time ticked by, Pochettino became anxious.

In the first two games of the new season, Tottenham's record was 1 draw and 1 loss.

If this game can't win the opponent, it will not be easy for Pochettino to win three games this week.

Judging from various statistics, Pochettino's team is far better than Leicester City.

But in terms of shooting on target, both teams scored twice.

This is enough to show how well Ranieri's defense is doing.

Ali replaced Lamela as the front midfielder. Although he is not as good as Lamela in terms of organizational ability, he is even more indistinguishable from Eriksson.

But with a height of 188cm, he has excellent dribbling skills and strong physical confrontation. He can firmly control the ball at his feet in a crowded midfield.

Pochettino took a fancy to his characteristics, so he arranged him in the front midfielder position, forming two ball-holding fulcrums with Kane, one front and one back, and he can play the ball for forward teammates at any time.

After the 75th minute of the game, the physical decline of both sides was very serious.

Leicester City's defense has lost the enthusiasm it used to have, and only Kanter can run actively.

And Tottenham's wing attack also lost its edge.

The two sides began to entangle in the midfield to do hand-to-hand combat.

In the 81st minute, Ali took the ball near the center circle and was defended by the midfielder Inle.

Behind Inle, Andy King and De Laet, appear in his forward pass to Kane.

After observing that there were two teammates protecting him behind him, Inle attacked decisively.

He thought that even if he couldn't break the ball, he could delay the attack.

Seeing him rushing towards him, Ali first pulled the ball back with his left foot, avoiding the sweep of Inle's right leg, and passed the ball forward with his right foot.

This bold pass really surprised the Leicester City players.

Because such a forced pass is meaningless.

Kane at the front end, even if he can get the ball, will be double-teamed by Huth and De Laet the moment he turns around.

And Andy King will return to the defense in time to form a three-man double-team for him.

Under such double-teaming, Kane has no chance.

Sure enough, when Kane turned around after taking the ball, he was double-teamed by three Leicester City players.

But his subsequent free movement made the King Power Stadium fans shout incredible.

Kane first half-turned, pretending to dribble the ball to the left, and after attracting Huth to step forward to defend, he used a physical confrontation, leaned on the defense, quickly moved the ball to the right with his left foot, and at the same time turned his body to the right.

He used a clean turn, passed Huth's defense, and killed from the double-team.

The whole turning movement is as light as weight, which fully reflects Kane's ability to combine people with the ball.

Fortunately, Draet has a good sense of defensive position. Before Kane got the ball, he consciously retreated.

It is because of his retreat that Kane can delay his attack for the first time after turning around.

With his help, captain Morgan also came to help defend.

Kane saw that there was no chance, so he distributed the ball to Shazli who was plugging in from the left, and advanced himself to help his teammates attract the defense.

With the help of Kane, Shazli easily took the ball on the left side of the penalty area. After observing it, he quickly swung his calf and hung the ball into the penalty area.

Kane and Morgan, who were fighting for the spot in front of the goal, had a physical confrontation action, which caused the two to fall in the penalty area at the same time, and the ball flew to the back point.

At this time, Schlupp, who was supposed to be defending on this side, raised his hand to signal the referee after seeing Morgan fall.

Ali swooped in with a header from the back and pushed the ball, which was about to fly off the baseline, into the goalkeeper's hands.

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! 】

[After a full 81 minutes of siege against Leicester City, Tottenham finally scored. 】

[Ali, scored the first goal of joining the team. 】

[Kane's contribution is also very important. 】

[He first double-teamed in the midfield, brought the ball out, and distributed it to his teammates on the wing to form an offensive opportunity. 】

[There is also his forward penetration after passing the ball, which is worth learning from many forwards. 】

[His forward drive brought out Morgan's defense, and Ali, who was in the back, was unmarked. 】

After defending Leicester City for a full 81 minutes, the players were very disappointed after being scored by the opponent.

Both substitutions are used in defense, Ranieri has no time to wait for an opportunity.

Ulloa, called to the sidelines, ready to play.

While the Tottenham players were still immersed in the joy of scoring, Rossi ran to the penalty area and whispered a few words to captain Morgan.

The game continued. After Rossi kicked off in the middle circle, he immediately advanced with Vardy and Mahrez.

Rossi's role as the center is precisely to connect the attacks on both sides.

At this time, they can no longer be conservative,
Seeing this situation, Pochettino smiled indifferently.

Leicester City, without a midfield organizer, wants to rely on two midfielders to organize the attack?
This is just a joke!

Tottenham, which took the lead, still launched a frontcourt press and pressed towards Leicester City's defense.

Inle returned the ball to Morgan, who then passed it to Schlupp on the wing, drawing Ali to the wing.

Due to the kick-off, Tottenham's frontcourt pressure did not form a close connection, and Ali and Kane were far away from their teammates behind.

After Ali was drawn to the wing, Morgan in the center was left unmarked.

When Schlupp returned the ball to Morgan again, he looked up to find Rossi on the front line. After locking the target, he kicked the ball directly from the backcourt and passed the ball with his big foot.

Both Rossi and Riyad Mahrez moved to the left flank at this point, forming pressure on Tottenham full-back Ben Davies.

When the ball was passed, Rossi took advantage of the opponent's attention being attracted by the forward Mahrez, and took off to fight for the top. When the height was not dominant, he headed back and handed it to Mahrez.

Mahrez received the ball and entered the penalty area, with Verhengtong's defense in front and Ben Davis and Ryan Mason in the back.

His left foot shook frequently, and he suspected that he was going to break through the bottom.

After this action successfully attracted the defense, Mahrez nudged the ball with his left foot for a small step, swayed from a very small angle, and followed up with his left foot to shoot.

Due to his concealed shooting and quick kick, Verhengtong didn't react to block it at all.

The goalkeeper was also taken aback. When he wanted to save the ball again, it was too late, and he watched the ball fly into the net.

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! 】

[The ball has scored! 】

[After the team fell behind by less than 1 minute, Mahrez equalized the score and once again staged a miracle. 】

After the goal, Mahrez was extremely excited, accelerated to sprint towards the sidelines, and then slid and knelt.

Teammates rushed to hug him one after another, and even the mascots in the arena excitedly stepped forward to hug him.

This goal, like a basin of cold water, drenched the Tottenham players instantly.

Captain Morgan and Rossi high fived and gave a thumbs up.

"Luo, it's really because of you, the attack is actually successful!"

"You are the commander of our team,"

Ranieri off the court was not excited. The team's goal just now made him lost in thought.
