striker cool brother

Chapter 220
The two teams played against each other in the first round of this season. Leicester City was at home, with a score of 2:5, and was bloodbathed by the biggest point difference this season.

Vardy, who scored two goals, failed to help the team recover.

This time as a guest at the Emirates Stadium, the Leicester City players all simmered in their hearts for revenge.

Not to compete for the championship, but to avenge shame.

"Luo, I have a hunch that I will score in this game."

There was a fierceness in Vardy's eyes, like a vicious and cunning fox.

Rossi smiled and said, "Your wife and daughter have come to the scene. Today is Valentine's Day, and you have to dedicate the goal to them."

"No!" Vardy denied first, and then explained: "Not only for them, but also for myself."

He raised his right hand, revealing the blue bandage wrapped around his palm.

Rossi also can't remember clearly, I don't know when Vardy will wrap his right hand with a bandage every game.

"I have two broken bones in my right hand from the Arsenal game. I'm going to wear a brace until the end of the season to prevent it from getting worse."

Although the wrist bone fracture is not a major operation, it will take a long time to recover in the later stage. Vardy can only receive conservative treatment temporarily, and will not undergo surgery until the end of the season.

"Wearing it, I always remind myself not to forget that miserable loss."

Rossi patted him on the shoulder and said, "I don't have anything to give you as a brother, but I can only give you some advance money, or a penalty kick."

"What about your scoring record?"

"The record is not worth mentioning in front of brothers."

Perhaps it is because Rossi has been rewarded by the system, and he does not have much expectation for whether he can continue to score goals.

After Giroud and XXX kicked off in the middle circle, Arsenal led the ball in the backcourt and slowly pushed the formation forward.

Compared with Manchester City's pass control, the pass and cut cooperation between Arsenal players has been perfected.

In just 1 minute of the opening, XXX sent a through ball in the middle, piercing Leicester City's defense and giving it to Sanchez who was going forward.

The players of Leicester City, who seem to be still affected by the Emirates Stadium dyed red by the fans, have not fully entered the game state.

At critical moments, we have to watch the goalkeeper.

Schmeichel strikes and goes quickly to the ground, blocking Sanchez's shot and saving the ball to the baseline.

Leicester City escaped.

Chamberlain took the left corner and passed it into the penalty area.

It was Sanchez again. He moved erratically, not only throwing off the players marking him, but also nodding the goal ahead under the cover of Giroud.

It's a pity that he couldn't stand upright and missed the goal.

The brave Sanchez made Ranieri jump out of the rest area, rushed to the coaching area, and personally directed the defense.

In this game, Wenger's high center forward Giroud can not only serve as a fulcrum to take the ball in the penalty area, but also his excellent foot skills can attack both sides of the players in the frontcourt.

The corner attack just now was to use his height to attract the defense and give Sanchez a chance to head the ball.

In the last round of the league, the reason why Manchester City could not break through Leicester City's defense was because there was one less high point like Giroud in the middle.

From this point of view, Wenger made a very detailed investigation of Leicester City before the game, and carefully arranged tactics for intensive defense.

Leicester City have the ball, and Schmeichel drives the ball to the midfield.

Since the midfield control is obviously inferior to the opponent, Leicester City's offense can only rely on the speed of the two wings to create threats.

Arsenal also did their homework defensively.

The defensive midfielder Kirkland was reused by Wenger when Cazorla and Ramsey suffered successive injuries and gradually became one of the team's main players.

His interception and steals, coupled with the ability to cover a large area on the defensive end, can give Arsenal enough protection for the midfielder.

It also earned the reputation of "Sentinel".

When Leicester City organized an attack on the wing, Kirkland quickly moved towards the wing and formed a press, blocking the opponent's pass and lateral breakthrough.

Mahrez's horizontal inward cut was restrained, and Leicester City couldn't find a chance in the positional battle.

In the 9th minute, Arsenal made a successful steal in the backcourt and launched a quick counterattack.

Sanchez dribbled the ball from the right, broke through Albright's defense, and knocked the ball across the center.

XXX responded in the middle, followed by Chamberlain who made a wonderful pass from his heel.

Chamberlain kicked the ball from the right side of the penalty area and made a pass. The ball hit Kanter in the penalty area, changed the line, and was cleared by the defender.

Chamberlain slapped his right hand as he rushed to the referee, motioning for the ball to hit the defender's arm.

But the referee Atkinson refused to award a penalty, which caused a burst of boos from the home fans.

[This ball, the Arsenal player indicated that it should be a penalty kick, let's watch the replay. 】

[Ah, the ball did hit Kanter's elbow. 】

[Maybe the referee thinks that Kanter's elbow was not open intentionally, and it is normal not to give a penalty to him, who has always been loose in the penalty scale. 】

As soon as the on-site commentator finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamation from the stadium.

Drinkwater's pass also pierced through the defense between the full-back and the central back, and was given to Rossi's feet to form a single-handedly.

The commentator was clenching his fists and preparing to roar when a whistle suddenly sounded in the arena.

Rossi complained, stopped the ball on the spot, and walked back silently.

The lineman raised the flag.

[Leicester City offside? 】

[Look at the slow motion playback...]

【Huh?The moment Rossi started, he was not offside. 】

[The referee's eyes should have seen Rossi's body hair, and he was offside at the moment of passing the ball. 】

Regarding the referee's two controversial penalties, the commentator couldn't help laughing.

With such a loose penalty scale, the game rhythm of the two teams has unknowingly accelerated.

In the 15th minute, Arsenal counterattacked from the backcourt. When Giroud received a pass from his teammate near the center circle, he did not stop the ball and returned it directly, allowing Morgan, who stepped forward to press, to miss the air.

XXX quickly hits the ball into the open space on the opponent's left, and Ramsey is advancing at high speed.

Fortunately, Schmeichel has a wide range of activities. He immediately rushed out of the penalty area, grabbed the ball before Ramsey, fell to the ground with a sliding tackle, and destroyed the ball.

The ball came to Drinkwater's feet.

In an instant, Leicester City turned from defense to offense.

Drinkwater distributed the ball to Albrighton on the left, who advanced to the edge of the penalty area and made a pass.

The ball flew to the back of the goal, and Vardy took the first step, stuck Bellerin in the small penalty area, then took off to compete for the top, and pushed the ball to the lower left corner of the goal.

Faced with such a close-range header, Cech's reaction showed the level of his first-class goalkeeper.

As he quickly fell to the ground, he stretched out his right hand and pressed the ball firmly in front of him.

This world-class save not only won applause from the home fans, but even Vardy patted him to express his respect for the veteran.

The fast-paced transition of offense and defense made the fans hooked, waving flags and scarves in their hands, and the cheers became louder and louder.

Starting a confrontation with a giant team like Arsenal is not the rhythm of the game that Ranieri hoped for.

Finding opportunities in a steady manner is the essence of his tactics.

But he also quickly discovered that players can still maintain their own rhythm under such a confrontation.

The offense advances quickly, and the defense can be in place in time, not just following the opponent's rhythm.

In the 20th minute, Morgan commanded the defense to make an offside, which put XXX into an offside trap and missed a single chance.

One minute later, Chamberlain made a cross after a high-speed breakthrough from the side. Giroud, who was outflanking, failed to shoot on target and was confiscated by goalkeeper Schmeichel.

Leicester City immediately launched a counterattack.

First, Kanter's long-range shot was slightly high, and then Rossi's shot was ruled invalid because he was offside first.

Returning to the defense in slow motion, Rossi happened to be in a straight line with Koscielny, who was lagging behind, at the moment of passing the ball.

The referee disputed the penalty, and it was staged again after 5 minutes.

XXX made an oblique pass from the left, and Giroud rushed to the goal and scored. Because of the offside first, the goal was disallowed.

In the first half, although the offense of the two teams was wonderful, they also won boos from the fans under the "not to be outdone" by the referee team.

But the most controversial penalty in the game came in the last minute of the regular first half.

Vardy broke into the right side of the penalty area with the ball. Monreal tried to steal the ball but was unsuccessful. Vardy stretched out his foot first and pushed the ball away.

And when he stretched his legs, he happened to trip Vardy who broke through in the penalty area.

At the moment Vardy fell to the ground, Monreal kept waving his hands upwards, signaling his opponent to dive, and boos immediately sounded at home.

The referee Atkinson blew his whistle and pointed his right hand to the penalty spot.

Monreal rushed over immediately, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, telling Atkinson that he did not stare at Vardy.

[This foul, Monreal's defense did have a stomping action, but it depends on whether his feet stepped on Vardy. 】

The broadcast screen switched to a behind-the-scenes perspective, which was not clearly displayed in the screen.

[This angle is not very clear, the director will give another shot of frontal defense. 】

As the camera switched again, the on-site commentator could clearly see that Monreal's feet did not step on Vardy.

[The first time, I really didn't step on it.The referee may have considered that the defensive player's outstretched left foot tripped Vardy when he changed direction and broke through. 】

[This may be the basis for the referee to award a penalty kick. 】

[However, Atkinson's whistleblowing scale is really confusing.In his eyes, many fouls are allowed.However, he was very decisive in some disputes and penalties. 】

【His law enforcement is as if God instructed him how to call off the game. 】

[Okay, with the footage, let us return to the scene of the game. 】

[Valdy, stand on the penalty spot and take the penalty in person. 】

With firm eyes and a vicious look, Vardy stared at the huge boos at home and started to run.

Cech did a waggle dance on the goal line, hoping to distract him.

At the moment of Vardy's shot, Cech rushed to the right side of the goal.

But the ball hit the lower left corner of the goal.

Vardy's powerful shot seemed to be venting his anger. After the shot, the supporting foot left the turf with the swing of the body.

After scoring the goal, he crazily rushed to the sidelines and opened his arms, showing the arrogance of a striker.

Then, he blew kisses to his wife and daughter in the stands.

[GOAL! 】

[Leicester City leads away. 】

[On this special day of Valentine's Day, Vardy used goals to express his love for his family. 】

[This goal also gave Leicester City the upper hand. 】

[However, fans and friends don't need to be discouraged, Wenger's team will not admit defeat like this. 】
