Chapter 191 Challenging the Peak
With five passes, Leicester City completed a simple and efficient counterattack.

This is the defensive counterattack created by Ranieri.

Consolidate the defense, give up possession of the ball in the midfield, use simple passes, quickly pass the midfield, and hand it over to the striker to complete the fatal blow.

During the entire counterattack process, Vardy's forward running position ran through the audience.

Rossi's pass is the finishing touch.

This is why Ranieri kept Rossi at the forefront.

It needs his fulcrum and the ability to hit the ball with one kick, maximize the counterattack speed, and take advantage of Vardy's extremely impactful speed.

And in the counterattack, not only Vardy has this point, but Mahrez on the left and Rossi with the ball can all complete the shot.

It's just that Rossi helped Vardy score in the safest way.

"Luo, the advance is just right, thank you!"

After scoring, Vardy hugged Rossi for the first time.

It was his selfless assist that made his consecutive goals come to the 7th game.

Another one, and he tied Sturridge's record of scoring in eight consecutive games.

In front of him, there is only the legendary Manchester United striker, Ruud van Nistelrooy's record of scoring goals in ten consecutive games.

This is a record to be proud of, and a very difficult record to break.

Before the game, the media would speculate on stars like Aguero, Sturridge, Kane, and Rooney.

But no one thought that the closest to this record was actually a mediocre Vardy.

The score fell behind, and Crystal Palace made a substitution, replacing the full-back Mariappa and replacing the midfielder Yedironi to strengthen the offense.

This season, Crystal Palace has no shortage of reversals. The team lags behind, which will further stimulate the players' combat effectiveness.

After adding a midfielder, Crystal Palace's offensive became more violent, frequently making fuss on the wing, trying to use the pass to threaten the goal.

Even if they are cleared, they, who have the upper hand in the midfield, will immediately choose to grab two points to ensure continuous pressure.

Intense attack on the field, but Ranieri off the field was calm.

Prior to this, the team conducted defensive drills for set-piece training, with the purpose of preventing opponents from crossing.

In the 70th minute, Schlupp replaced Albrighton to further stabilize the midfield defense, forcing Crystal Palace to start the ball from outside the penalty area or even farther away.

In this way, the threat is greatly reduced.

While resisting the opponent's defense, Leicester City did not forget to arrange counterattack opportunities.

In the 75th minute, Drinkwater passed the ball in the backcourt, Rossi responded, Vardy made an assault from the side, and instantly tore through the Crystal Palace's central defense.

Vardy knocked across the middle, and Rossi cleverly missed the ball, giving Mahrez a shot at the back point.

when!
Mahrez made an arc with his left foot and bypassed the goalkeeper's ten fingers. Unfortunately, he hit the post and popped out of the bottom line, missing the opportunity to expand the score.

In the end, Leicester City won 1-0 at home and completed their first zero-block opponent this season.

On the second day, the team rested, and Ranieri fulfilled his promise to book a pizzeria and invite the players to get together to eat pizza.

Not only to eat, Ranieri also invited the team members to do it together, bake pizza by themselves, and try each other to judge the best.

Finally, the pizza made by Rossi won unanimous praise from his teammates.

In the voting session, it was unanimously approved.

This time the dinner was not only for Ranieri and the players to fulfill the promise of the fans not to concede a goal, but also to achieve unprecedented unity within the team.

In the League Cup in the middle of the week, Leicester City continued the policy of "relegation first" and played against Hull City with a substitute lineup.

After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, the two sides were still 0:0, and the game was dragged into overtime.

In overtime, the two teams scored successively and entered the penalty shootout with a score of 1:1.

In the end, Hull City eliminated Leicester City 4:3 in the penalty shootout and entered the next round.

The loss of the League Cup will not affect Leicester City's performance in the league.

Ranieri's defensive counterattack has become the sharpest weapon in the Premier League.

4:2 reversal of West Brom,
3:1 victory over Watford,

Finished Newcastle 4:0,

With a wave of strong 4-game winning streak, Leicester City quietly rose to the top of the standings.

Rossi and Vardy performed eye-catchingly, scoring goals every game.

Vardy even scored 10 consecutive games, tying Manchester United's legendary striker Ruud van Nistelrooy's record for consecutive Premier League goals.

He also won the honor of Player of the Month in October.

It is also the third Leicester City player to win this award after goalkeeper Tim Covas and Rossi.

The grassroots counterattack has become the hottest news in the Premier League.

Who would have thought that Leicester City, which was still struggling on the verge of relegation last season, successfully reached the top after the first 13 rounds of this season.

And the team's main striker, the little-known Vardy, actually tied the record of consecutive goals scored by Premier League players.

Coincidentally, the opponent in the next game is Manchester United.

Manchester United is now second in the standings, only one point behind Leicester City.

Will the records created by Manchester United players also be ended in the game against Manchester United?
The superposition of these factors made the 14th round of the Premier League, Leicester City's home game against Manchester United, become the focus of the most attention, none of them.

This focus battle was also arranged by the Football Association to be held at 8 o'clock on Saturday night.

In prime time, the ratings and attendance have reached unprecedented levels.

Tickets are hard to come by at the King Power Stadium, and fans are eager to witness the birth of a new record at home.

Brick knife!

This is the nickname given to Vardy by the fans. His strong performance is the sharpest weapon of the team.

During the warm-up, there was a trace of tension on Vardy's face.

Breaking the record of consecutive goals is a very difficult thing. Vardy, who has already tied this record, is in a dream.

In order not to increase the psychological burden on him, Ranieri did not explain to the players that they should pass more balls to Vardy during the game.

Instead, he emphasized maintaining the previous rhythm of playing football.

"Jamie, what are you thinking?"

Rossi woke Vardy, who was a little confused, from the back.

"Luo, have you ever been nervous?" Vardy asked a little stiffly.

Rossi thought for a while, and said, "I'll be a little nervous when shooting underwear commercials with Pixie!"

"Fuck you!" Vardy scolded with a smile, strangling Rossi's neck.

The two squabbled for a while, and Vardy looked towards the stands, where his wife and daughter were sitting.

"I'm a little nervous. If I don't break the record, I don't know what my daughter will think. When she grows up, will she tell her friends that Dad is useless and almost broke the record."

Rossi shook her head and said, "I guess Sofia will tell her father that her father is a great player in front of her friends. Because his father once stood at the same height as another great player, overlooking all challengers."

Vardy smiled, calmed down in his eyes, blew a kiss towards his wife and daughter, and said, "Luo, let's go, let's challenge this peak."

Ruud van Nistelrooy, the record holder of ten consecutive Premier League goals, appeared in the VIP seats at the King Power Stadium in a suit.

He also wants to see with his own eyes whether his 12-year record of consecutive goals will be broken by this "grassroots" striker.

All these puzzles will be answered in the 90-minute game.
