Chapter 215 Witnessing 21-year-old Rossi
Four days later, in the third round of the FA Cup rematch, Leicester City faced off with a full substitute lineup and was defeated by Tottenham's semi-main lineup 2-0.

Leicester City's cup games this season are all over, Rossi didn't get a chance to play, and missed the system rewards.

Without the distraction of other games, Leicester City can concentrate on preparing for the league and striving for European qualification.

Qualification for the UEFA Europa League may be rewarded more generously than these cup competitions that cannot be ranked.

Rossi could only comfort herself in this way.

The opponent on Saturday afternoon is Stoke City, which is ranked seventh in the league.

The media believes that Stoke City, whose performance has been stable in the middle class, will cause trouble for Leicester City.

But only 5 minutes into the game, under the eyes of tens of thousands of people at the King Power Stadium, Rossi scored.

Mahrez's cross caused chaos in front of the goal. Stoke City's clearance did not go far and fell at the feet of Rossi in the middle of the front of the penalty area.

boom!
After Rossi stopped the ball, he swung his right calf lightly, and the outer instep was directly drawn to the lower left part of the ball.

The connection of the entire stop-fire action is very fast, and the calf exerts force, which is extremely concealed.

The goalkeeper just looked at Rossi's shooting posture and wanted to hit the right side. He quickly lowered his center of gravity and prepared to pounce.

But when he reacted, the ball had already flown to his left.

"Damn..."

The goalkeeper flew in the direction of the ball to save, and the fingertips of his fingers gently rubbed against the surface of the ball.

Shooting from the outside of the instep requires a lot of leg strength, and the larger the arc, the more difficult it is for the goalkeeper to catch the ball.

I thought that Rossi's current strength could not play an exaggerated arc, but the victory lies in his strong delusion.

Although the goalkeeper's finger was rubbed and changed direction slightly, the ball hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net.

The goalkeeper fell to the ground and beat the turf unwillingly.

【GOAL, the goal is scored! ! 】

[Rosie once again set a record. 】

【Every one of his goals is setting a new record. 】

[This is his 13th consecutive game to score. With his current state, I really don't know where his footsteps will stay. 】

[The next game, or another one? 】

Leicester City, which leads at home, is getting braver as they fight.

In the 41st minute, Drinkwater shot a long shot from outside the penalty area and pierced the goal.

2: 0!

In the 66th minute, Drinkwater assisted Vardy to expand the score to 3:0.

In the 87th minute, Ulloa came off the bench to add to the cake.

Leicester City beat Stoke City with a score of 4:0.

Due to Arsenal's loss, Leicester City reached the top as they wished, and as the top of the list, they will meet the challenge in February.

There are four games in February against Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Crystal Palace.

Liverpool ranks 8th in the standings. If they want to enter the European theater this season, they cannot underestimate the enemy in the next games.

Manchester City and Arsenal have the same 44 points, 3 points behind the leader of the list. If they want to make a comeback in the second half, they must beat Leicester City.

Crystal Palace is ranked 12th and is heading towards the 10th place in the league last season, launching an impact.

In front of Ranieri, it will be a difficult schedule.

The ten-day rest allows the players to get enough physical rest.

On Tuesday, at the pre-match press conference, the two sides announced the squad for this round.

Liverpool has as many as seven wounded. In addition to Sturridge, who has been absent for a long time, defender Skrtel and midfielder Coutinho have also joined the injured list.

In this game, Milner appeared on the starting list, and the center was played by Firmino.

Klopp wants to tear through Leicester City's defense with a small, fast and flexible striker.

Ranieri continued to use the previous starting lineup. On the bench, teenagers Gray and Chilwell entered the squad.

High-position pressing is still Klopp's style. After half a season of running-in, he has already implanted his own style into the team.

Abandoning high center forward Benteke is to take advantage of the speed and flexibility of short players to quickly form a press in the frontcourt.

Leicester City did not have the ability to press in depth, so Ranieri gave up the frontcourt press and pressed immediately after the opponent's offense pushed through the half-court.

Klopp was afraid of Leicester City's counterattack ability, and continued to guide his feet near the center circle, hoping to attract the opponent, and then transferred through a long pass to hit the space behind him.

Both teams had their own calculations and engaged in fierce physical confrontation near the center circle, but there were very few offenses that could reach each other's penalty areas.

Under physical confrontation, frequent fouls occurred, which made the rhythm of the game fragmented.

In short, the performance of the two teams in the first half was intense but not exciting.

During the intermission, Ranieri and the assistant coach said calmly while handing the players water: "The opponent is competing with us for patience, to see who can lose their temper first."

"I still say the same thing, if there is a counterattack, advance quickly. If not, counterattack immediately after losing the ball, delaying their counterattack."

If Liverpool want to qualify for the European War, they must win every game.

But Leicester City has always emphasized relegation externally, and the players do not have much psychological burden in their hearts.

This is also their advantage.

After the test in the first half, Klopp is convinced that the opponent will not press hard in the second half.

"In the second half, we continued to move forward, played more ball transfers, and mobilized their defense."

In this game, Liverpool wanted to infiltrate through quick short passes and hit the space behind the opponent.

But the seasoned Ranieri was not fooled, could not hold on, let his plan fail.

Since the defense is stubborn, there must be a hammer on the front line to knock the goal open.

Klopp asked center Benteke to warm up.

In the second half, Liverpool kicked off, and three technical midfielders quickly advanced to the half.

Firmino retreated to the midfield to help the team sort out the attack.

He has excellent personal ball control ability and can firmly control the ball under the double-teaming of two people.

In the 50th minute, after Firmino attracted the defense, he returned the ball to his teammate, then turned around and advanced.

Lucas moved the ball to the weak side area, and Lallana organized the attack from the side.

Under the cover of full-back Moreno's forward penetration, Lallana passed the defense and made a pass from the bottom.

Firmino, who outflanked the center, deflected the ball under the interference of the defensive players.

Two minutes later, Liverpool made a successful steal in midfield and made a comeback.

Lucas made a long pass from the backcourt, trying to hit behind Leicester City's defense.

But the power of the pass was a bit strong, and Schmeichel who was attacked easily picked it off.

After seeing a slight improvement in the offense, Klopp replaced midfielder Henderson and replaced Benteke to strengthen the penalty area to grab points.

In the 60th minute, Liverpool continued to pass and cooperate in the frontcourt. After mobilizing Leicester City's defense to the right, Lucas suddenly shifted laterally and hit the weak side area.

Full-back Klein broke through along the touchline and made a cross from the bottom.

Benteke and Morgan took off at the same time, competing for the top landing point.

Although both of them are top-notch in height and jumping, Schmeichel, who is tall and long, has a clear advantage.

boom!
Schmeichel rushed the ball out of the penalty area with both fists and landed in front of Kanter before the two competed for the top.

Kanter observed the defensive player behind him rushing towards him, without stopping the ball, he directly used the arch of his foot to pass the ball to Mahrez on the right.

This pass directly penetrated the barrier established by Liverpool in the middle.

Mahrez took a few steps forward, looked up, and passed the ball behind the Liverpool defense.

Rossi, who had been cruising on the offside line, suddenly started, instantly left the defender behind, and rushed into the penalty area.

[Pretty anti-offside, Rossi single-handedly! 】

[Chest stop! 】

[Turn around! 】

【Shoot! ! ! 】

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! 】

【Rossi scored again! 】

[This is his scoring in 14 consecutive games, what a terrifying scoring efficiency. 】

[And the ball was played very skillfully and calmly. 】

[After he stopped the ball with his chest, the goalkeeper had already attacked, and it was too late to adjust. 】

【So he used the instep of his right foot to lightly pad the ball through the goalkeeper's legs. The handling was too meticulous. 】

[If last season's Rossi was born out of nowhere, then this season's Rossi is definitely the performance of a superstar. 】

[I haven't seen the 21-year-old Ronaldo, but I have the honor to witness the 21-year-old Rossi. 】

[Leicester City leads 1:0! 】
