Chapter 195 He really scored a goal
During the halftime break, both sides, who were fairly satisfied with the draw, returned to the locker room.

It is really rare for Vardy to break the record, but the problems facing the team are the most urgent of the moment.

Van Gaal used the double midfielder to press, restricting the counterattack from one point of the ball, thereby suppressing the counterattack speed.

This is risky, because once the ball is passed, Manchester United's defense will face a situation of playing more with less.

But the risk was worth it, helping them equalize before halftime.

To this end, Ranieri made adjustments.

When counterattacking, the full-backs are raised to help attract the defense.

Ranieri also asked the two central defenders to boldly play the ball from the backcourt. Even if the pass is not accurate and the opponent clears, it doesn't matter.

It is necessary to increase the point of the ball when counterattacking, and always let the opponent know that counterattacks are everywhere.

At the end of the game according to the current score, Leicester City will have 29 points with Manchester City, ranking first.

And Manchester United will fall to No.3, and the Arsenal game behind them has not started.

If they win, they drop the No.4 position.

This is an unacceptable result for Van Gaal and his team.

Picky Manchester United fans have found it difficult to tolerate the current team's results.

In their minds in the past, Manchester United should aim to stabilize the league championship, not to compete.

Moyes has only been in charge of the team for more than 9 months, and Manchester United has dropped directly from No. 1 to No. 7, losing the qualification for the Champions League. This is intolerable.

Van Gaal brought Manchester United back to the top four in his first season in office, but it did not meet the expectations of the fans.

"In the second half, we will continue to press them like this."

On the tactical board, Van Gaal circled the two defenders on the wing and said, "I think if they don't have a chance to play the ball in the middle, they will definitely pass the ball to both sides. Pay attention here too."

"Wayne, you continued to play as a midfielder in the second half."

Captain Rooney nodded with firm eyes.

In Van Gaal's 4-2-3-1 formation, the attacking midfielder is the heart and soul of the team.

In this position, players must have the ability to organize and pass the ball, as well as the ability to score.

Prior to this, whether it was Mata, Januzaj, Fellaini, Pereira, or Di Maria, it was difficult to meet Van Gaal's ideal requirements.

Rooney is not the best candidate for his ideal midfielder.

But the captain of Manchester United is better than the previous few to complete the task of the midfielder.

During the intermission, Henry and Van Nistelrooy also chatted about the game.

"Drew, what do you think of the Leicester City team?"

Ruud van Nistelrooy has been away from the field, but has been concerned about European football.

"They can play their individual characteristics very well, and the current results are definitely not luck."

Henry said: "However, they will usher in the devil's schedule in December, and I predict that they will definitely lose the chain."

Van Nistelrooy shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Everyone has seen that their offense is simple and efficient, but their defense is ignored. I dare to conclude that this season, they should be a favorable contender for the Europa League."

Europa League?

Henry couldn't imagine that with the current Leicester City, in the fierce competition between the Premier League BIG6 and other strong teams, they could qualify for the European War?
In the second half, after Leicester City kicked off, Manchester United players quickly formed an oppression on the ball in the midfield.

When Van Gaal calls for pressing, the full-back on the strong side has to go up and the full-back on the weak side has to come back.

In the midfield, Carrick dragged back to protect and was ready to fill in the defense at any time.

Mata and Ashley Young have a good sense of defending in the middle and compressing space.

Schweinsteiger can also use active running and can quickly press the direction of the ball.

Coupled with Rooney and Martial on the front line, the two can also actively press the ball.

Under the high-intensity oppression of Leicester City, the offense was basically suppressed in the half court.

Even because of the pressure, goalkeeper Schmeichel sent the ball across the half-court from the goal line and handed over the ball.

Despite this, Ranieri still did not take appropriate measures to solve the problem of midfield possession.

He allowed the defense to recover quickly, and even gave up the opportunity to counterattack and participated in the defense.

This kind of defense with the bus can certainly withstand waves of Manchester United's offensive, but the intensity is greatly reduced.

In the 60th minute, Ranieri was about to make a substitution, and Schlupp, who was warming up on the sidelines, was called to his side.

This is a common substitution by Ranieri, in order to maintain the impact of the wing.

Schlupp took the head coach's playbook and passed it on to Morgan.

In the 63rd minute, after Manchester United's attack from the left was resolved, Morgan kicked directly outside the penalty area and sent the ball to the left.

The difficulty of the long pass is that the ball is too long to fly, giving the defensive players enough time to defend.

Carrick moves quickly across, leaps high and drives the ball over the touchline.

Fuchs threw the ball to Schlupp, and Manchester United's oppression squeezed over immediately.

Schlupp passed the ball back, Morgan passed the ball to the right with a big foot, and Mata and Schweinsteiger also double-teamed in time.

"Have you started playing weak-side defense?" Henry in the stands smiled playfully and said, "A famous coach is a famous coach, and the time to adjust is just right."

Ruud van Nistelrooy smiled knowingly, and said: "This time point is exactly when the physical fitness of both sides begins to decline. Even though Manchester United's oppression is strong, the space on the weak side will gradually increase with physical energy consumption."

After Leicester City transferred two long passes, Van Gaal was keenly aware of the opponent's intention to make substitutions.

He stood off the court and roared loudly, reminding the players to always pay attention to the weak side defense.

Rossi also noticed this detail.

Since Schlupp came on the field, he understood the coach's tactical intentions and consciously moved closer to the opponent's weak side defense.

In the 68th minute, Manchester United was on the left side of the opponent's penalty area. Through continuous transmission, it attracted the defense of Kanter and Drinkwater.

With the ball, Rooney used his strong body to pass the ball from the double-team.

Schweinsteiger, who responded, was unmarked. Rooney was observed to respond laterally, and he returned the ball without stopping.

Kanter has been keeping an eye on Rooney, and he leaned in for the first time, and there was a physical confrontation while moving.

Rooney was at the front of the penalty area, was knocked to the ground by Kanter, and the ball fell to Kanter's feet.

No foul?

The Manchester United players raised their hands for the first time, but the referee ignored it.

Rooney, who was once as strong as a cow, actually fell behind in the confrontation with the little Kanter?

Kante quickly passed the ball forward and formed a counterattack.

Carrick fell to the ground with a sliding tackle, but Drinkwater kicked in early and split the ball to the left.

The midfielder was out of position, allowing Schlupp to easily get the ball on the left, and then handed it to Mahrez in the center.

Schweinsteiger chased back desperately. If he couldn't intercept the opponent, then he had to bring him down from behind, and he couldn't give him any chance to pass the ball forward.

The two central defenders of Manchester United have been attracted by Vardy on the left, and gathered in the middle slightly to the left, letting go of Rossi who advanced on the weak side.

The defense is faced with playing more with less. The defender usually defends the middle and presses to the strong side holding the ball.

And as the defense continues to retreat, the other central defender will slowly move to the weak side.

Therefore, the passing timing of the ball holder must be advanced.

boom!
Mahrez didn't stick the ball and gave the ball to Rossi on the weak side.

The home fans stood up excitedly.

Vardy's consecutive scoring record is rare, but in the hearts of fans, Rossi has the ball, which means scoring.

[De Gea strikes! 】

[Do you want to pass it on? 】

[Will Rossi pass it on? 】

"He won't pass it on!"

Henry and Van Nistelrooy in the stands said in unison, and they were sure that the goal would definitely be scored.

[Luo actually picked up the ball! 】

[The ball has scored! 】

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! 】

[Rosie, a goal! 】

[Leicester City, overtake the score! 】
