chapter 211

The FA Cup competition system stipulates that before the quarter-finals, if all rounds are tied within 1 minutes, a rematch is required. In the rematch battle, the two teams will switch home and away.

If the rematch is tied within 90 minutes, extra time will be required to determine the winner.

If there is still no winner in overtime, the winner will be determined by penalty kicks.

Tottenham certainly don't want a rematch. The team will fight on the third front, and one more game will put a burden on the players' bodies.

For Leicester City, the cup game is tasteless, and if they lose, it will be fine.

But now that the two sides are tied, you can't deliberately lose the game because you are worried about player injuries.

What's more, it's still a substitute lineup.

Unwilling to lose, Tottenham attacked with all their strength, but Sun Xingmin on the front line, without the fulcrum role of Harry Kane, could not split Leicester City's dense defense with only one person.

Anxious Tottenham pressed forward aggressively, and there was a gap in the rear, but Leicester City seized the opportunity.

In the 48th minute, Schmeichel launched a counterattack by throwing the ball in his hand. After the youth training teenager Chilwell broke through Tottenham's dense defense from the side, he distributed it to Andy King in the middle.

With Tottenham on the midfield line, only Dell was left as a midfielder. Andy King and Gray cooperated to penetrate the midfield defense line and gave it to Shinji Okazaki who came off the bench.

The Japanese striker's position on the field is lurking behind Ulloa, waiting for an opportunity to advance.

When the counterattack starts, he can also quickly release the ball to promote the offensive speed of the frontcourt.

When he turned his back to get the ball, he observed that Gray on the wing had advanced forward, and then used his heel to knock the ball over skillfully.

After receiving the ball, Gray rushed forward, facing the defensive player, he simply did a bicycle ride, then dialed the ball to the other side, trying to eat the opponent raw.

Defender Wimmer turned around and chased back at a fast speed. Seeing that he couldn't get rid of his opponent, Gray took the first step to shoot when there was still a shooting angle.

The goalkeeper Worm has a very low center of gravity. The moment Gray kicked his foot, he threw the ball in the direction of the goal and blocked the ball with both hands.

Before the Tottenham fans had time to cheer for this wonderful save, in the vacuum of the middle, Shinji Okazaki suddenly burst out, using the arch of his right foot, and gently put the ball into the net.

[The goal is scored, GOAL! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 】

[Only 3 minutes into the second half, Leicester City was replaced by Shinji Okazaki, who scored in front of the goal. 】

[Tottenham's defense once again had problems. 】

[The two full-backs did not come back in time after inserting the assist, making it easy for the opponent to advance through the midfield and form an offensive advantage in the frontcourt. 】

[There is also a problem with the position of the defensive midfielder. When Leicester City counterattacked, Tom Carroll neither stepped forward to block nor retreated in time. It was difficult for Dell alone to stop the opponent's advance. 】

[Unless he fouled directly in the first shot and used a yellow card to prevent the opponent from counterattacking. 】

Sure enough, after conceding the ball, the passive Tottenham removed the double midfielders Dell and Tom Carroll in the 55th minute and sent Ben Taleb and Harry Kane.

If it's just a draw, Pochettino doesn't want to send Kane on the field so soon.

But the current score is behind. If the team is eliminated by Leicester City in the third round, it will deal a big blow to both the club's income and the morale of the players.

The unexpected lead made Ranieri a little excited. If Tottenham can be eliminated in the FA Cup, it will be a good incentive for team morale.

And it can also establish a psychological advantage for the league match with Tottenham three days later.

He replaced the eye-catching teenager Gray with Albrighton.

He and full-back Chilwell are the biggest gains in this game, and they can be well trained to become the main force of the team in the future.

After Tottenham replaced Kane, there was a stable support point at the front end. Eriksson would retreat to organize the attack, and Tottenham's offense gradually became more organized.

In the 73rd minute, Tottenham made another personnel adjustment and Ali played.

In the first round of the league match, it was Ali who broke through the gate of Leicester City.

His appearance not only makes Tottenham one more offensive point in the competition for the top, but his dribbling and long-range shots can also threaten the opponent's goal.

In the next 10 minutes, Tottenham not only firmly grasped the initiative in the midfield, but also threatened Leicester City's goal again and again.

Goalkeeper Schmeichel is the busiest person in Leicester City.

It was his high pick and block that kept the goal clean.

Leicester City's defense is composed of old and new players. After being hit by Tottenham again and again, it looks a little embarrassed.

But the fundamental problem still appeared in the midfield.

Inle can be regarded as a first-class level in single defense and attacking people with the ball.

But he doesn't have Kanter's large-scale defense and aggressive tackles. Facing Tottenham's flexible offensive system, he seems a bit hesitant.

In the 88th minute, Eriksson, who retreated to the backcourt to organize the ball, used an exquisite through ball to penetrate the area defended by Inle and gave it to Ali.

Ali took a few steps after receiving the ball, facing the defender Morgan who stepped forward to block, he also passed the ball with one kick to Harry Kane who advanced forward.

Huth and full-back Fox wanted to close the door to Kane, defending with one and stealing the ball with one.

But Kane, who was faster, entered the penalty area before the two formed a double-team.

Schmeichel had to abandon the goal and rushed towards the direction of Kane's shot.

In the absence of a chance to shoot, Kane chose to extend his foot first and pass the ball to the front left.

Next, it's up to the opposing goalkeeper and the referee.

drop!
The referee trotted to the place of the foul, gave Schmeichel a yellow card and pointed to the penalty spot.

Schmeichel's arm did not touch the ball, but instead tripped Kane to the ground. This is an undisputed penalty.

Kane stood at the penalty kick, calm and composed, tricked the goalkeeper with a fake move, and the ball rushed into the net from the lower left corner.

[Equalized, Tottenham equalized the score. 】

[Kane, save the team again. 】

[In this way, the two sides may have a rematch. 】

[This is not a good result for both teams. 】

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the two teams failed to score again and the game ended in a draw.

The rematch will be held at the King Power Stadium ten days later.

Rossi did not play this game. After the game, he took his girlfriend Pixie together on the court, hugged and kissed, and thanked her for coming to the away game to support him.

Afterwards, he took Pixie to thank the Leicester City fans present.

After the game, Pixie also posted a photo of her kissing with Rossi on her personal social platform, with a postscript:

"You will always be the King of London in my heart!"

Damn, it was actually pretended by him.

Even if Rossi does not appear on the stage, he can also become the focus of the media after the game.

In the 4 games after Christmas, Leicester City had 3 draws and 1 loss, and their state has obviously fluctuated.

This also made the media boldly predict that in White Hart Lane three days later, Leicester City will usher in a disastrous defeat and fall out of the European theater.
