Chapter 234 Peace Talk
Morgan used this powerful header, which not only fulfilled the pre-match rhetoric, but also greatly boosted the morale of the team.

After scoring the goal, Morgan shook off his teammates who were rushing over, rushed to the sidelines, slid the tackle sideways, then sat on the turf, and raised his arms.

Teammates surrounded him one after another. There is nothing more exciting than the captain scoring a goal.

The King Power Stadium suddenly turned into a blue ocean, and the cheering fans were like waves churning, majestic.

This is Morgan's second goal of the season and his most exciting goal so far.

After Koeman lost the ball, he roared even more, angrily denouncing the defense full of loopholes.

Not only does it give the opponent time to pass the cross calmly from the wing, but it also allows the opponent's defender to easily advance into the penalty area to attack.

Such a line of defense is simply a disaster.

The game restarts.

The morale of the Leicester City players was high. In the next 15 minutes, they did not give their opponents too many opportunities and soon entered the intermission.

At the beginning of the second half, Koeman replaced Taggart with Tadic and continued to strengthen the wing breakthrough.

But Leicester City, which has taken the lead, has not let up in defense at all.

Ranieri is very clear that even if there is a chance to counterattack, Koeman's team will return to the defense as soon as possible.

However, such an active defense cannot last for too long, especially in the last 15 minutes, Southampton's offense will definitely lose its edge.

In this game, Mane lurks behind the high center, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

However, Pellet's support at the front point was interfered by the defense and could not give him too much support.

In many cases, it is necessary to rely on Mane to retreat to get the ball, force the pass, and create a dangerous situation in front of the goal.

However, Kanter's super running ability can always appear beside him like a shadow, interfering with his offense.

Under the tenacious defense of Leicester City, Southampton had very few offensive opportunities. Either the cross was cleared, or the shot was interfered. There was only one poor attack that actually hit the goal.

And Leicester City scored a goal with a shot on target.

As the game progressed, Southampton's physical fitness declined overall, and the offensive rhythm began to slow down.

Leicester City also started their best press and counterattack.

In the 68th minute, Kanter passed Wanyama's defense in the middle, and Southampton's defense suddenly became tense.

After receiving the ball, Rossi directly sent a through ball, which hit the space behind the left back and gave it to Mahrez who was going forward.

Near the bottom line of the penalty area, Mahrez made continuous feints, and after swaying a little passing space, he swept the ball to the goal and was cleared by Van Dijk from the front point.

The corner kick was taken, and Morgan Huth's two central defenders squeezed into the penalty area at the same time, attracting the defense and giving Vardy a header chance.

It's a pity that he was too upright and was punched out of the penalty area by the goalkeeper.

Outside the penalty area, the two teams were fighting for a second penalty kick. Drinkwater headed the ball towards the penalty area again with a header that he was not good at. Unfortunately, it was too deep and was easily caught by the goalkeeper.

The continuous attack made Coman furious off the court.

In order to build a defensive system, the team spent nearly 1500 million pounds to buy Van Dijk in the summer, but was overwhelmed by Leicester City, which has no height advantage.

He kept yelling towards the field, directing the defense until his throat became hoarse before he picked up the water from the ground and drank it.

But as soon as he took a sip, Leicester City's offense advanced rapidly again, so startled that he immediately dropped the water bottle and directed the defense.

"Attention, eye attention."

"Rewind quickly and pay attention to the opponent's advance."

"Why don't you run away, chase me, if you can't catch up, it will cause interference."

Leicester City's offense advanced rapidly, Albrighton hit the middle, Rossi passed the ball directly into the penalty area without stopping the ball.

While chasing the ball, Vardy and Van Dijk both pulled their hands, interfered with each other, and both fell in the penalty area.

The referee did not call any foul and the ball was confiscated by the Southampton goalkeeper.

Seeing the decline in the players' physical fitness, in the 75th minute, Koeman used up the remaining two substitutions at one time and made a last-ditch effort.

Ranieri, who has a lot of substitutions in his hand, just replaced Albrighton with Gray.

As the physical fitness of Leicester City players also declined, Pellet began to gradually gain an advantage in the top of the penalty area.

The height difference made Morgan pay more physical strength when defending Pellet.

Ranieri asked Huth to mark Pellet, and Morgan helped defend.

Southampton's attack continued, but with the passage of time, the impact of speed began to drop.

As the defensive side, Leicester City also made a substitution in the 80th minute.

Andy King replaced Mahrez and Ulloa replaced Vardy.

In this game, Leicester City focused on defense, and Vardy didn't have many chances to shoot, only one shot.

Most of the time on the court, Rossi is also in a state of stealth.

But he still sent 3 threatening passes, the highest in the game.

Both of them made sacrifices for the team's defense.

The score of 1:0 was also maintained until the end of the game. Leicester City defended a crucial game and continued to maintain a favorable situation leading No. 25 points.

Just after the game ended, Bob Reeves, CEO of William Hill, a private club in London, silently turned off the live broadcast of the game on his mobile phone.

Leicester City have won again!

This is definitely a nightmare for him and the company.

Perhaps other people don't know how high the probability of Leicester City winning the championship is after winning this victory.

But a gaming company with a group of actuaries must be very clear in their hearts.

"What about the buyout plan?"

Bob pressed his forehead with his hand, looking very painful.

Henderson said cautiously: "All the bets of those 25 people have been bought out."

After hearing this, Bob felt a throbbing pain in his heart.

The buyout odds alone cost the company millions of pounds, and the biggest order is still in Pixie's hands.

He is now appearing in this private club, and it is precisely to make an appointment with the "creditor" for peace talks.

After waiting for about half an hour, the door of the private room opened slowly, and Pixie walked in with a blank expression, followed by Omar and assistant Sati.

"Miss Lott, it's a great honor to meet you." Bob greeted warmly, but Pixie looked at him coldly.

With a wry smile, unable to resolve the embarrassment of the scene, Bob could only bite the bullet and beckon Pixie to sit down.

"I know that Miss Lott has a lot of people and affairs. The environment here is good, and the dishes are exquisite. You can order whatever you want."

Pixie said lightly: "No need."

"Then let's drink something, the coffee here is also good."

Assistant Sadie took out a thermos cup from her bag with interest, unscrewed the lid, turned it upside down, and poured warm water from it.

"Don't worry, I bring my own water."

It is unheard of and unseen for celebrities to bring their own water to enter and exit high-end private clubs.

And this kettle, the lid can be used as a cup?

The hot face against the cold butt made Bob very upset.

But he was facing a creditor of 2.5 million pounds, and no matter how uncomfortable he was, he had to pay for his smile.

"Then I won't go around in circles. I met Miss Lotte today because of the lottery."

"First of all, I would like to thank Ms. Lott for trusting and supporting our company. She gave us [-] pounds of chips for temporary storage. But the problem now is that although Leicester City is temporarily ranked first and seems to be the favorite to win the championship, after the restructuring of the Premier League, there is no precedent for a team that has just been promoted to the Premier League and won the championship in the second year."

"This kind of risk is very high, especially in the final stage, even if it is a wealthy family, it is easy to collapse."

"Take Liverpool two years ago as an example. They were always at the top of the list and thought they would win the championship. But they just lost a game, leading to a collapse and losing their championship. What a pity."

Seeing that Pixie remained indifferent, but was blowing hot water and savoring it slowly, Bob continued to speak patiently.

"Miss Lott, you are a big star, so you should know how to avoid risks. Our company doesn't want you to lose the fifty thousand pounds in vain, so we propose a plan, which is to return the principal to you in advance without any loss. Let's make friends."

After hearing this, Pixie frowned slightly, and put the cup on the table with a short sound.

"Returning the principal, hehe, sounds very good, so that I won't lose fifty thousand pounds in vain, and I have to thank you for your kindness."

Of course, Bob could hear the dissatisfaction in Pixie's words, and said, "Of course, in order to show our sincerity, we will pay an extra sum of money at an interest rate higher than that of all banks in the world, and treat the fifty thousand pounds as your deposit with us."

"There's still interest, that's great!"

Pixie said coldly, "I don't know if Mr. Bob said the same thing to those 25 Leicester City fans?"

When Bob heard this, he immediately sensed that something was wrong. He was sure that Pixie must have known something.

It seems that tonight's peace talks will not end so smoothly.
