Chapter 318 Criticism!

After Leicester City changed their formation, their defense has become stronger.

The midfielder represented by Xia Xing did not attack a few times in the first half.

Go all out to stabilize the defensive front.

Even more so after Van Persie went off the field.

So Atletico Madrid took turns to bomb, threatening Leicester City's goal.

Until the first half entered injury time, Atletico Madrid finally got a good chance!
Griezmann had the ball upfield, he knocked the ball back, handed it to Gabi, and cruised down the left.

In this Atletico Madrid team, Griezmann's second important task is to score goals, and the first important task is to organize in series.

Torres sprints fast in the frontcourt!
Gabby is obviously about to hit the cross!

Konchesky, who just came off the bench not long ago, ran quickly to mark!
At the moment when Konchesky was taken away by Torres, Gabi passed the ball!
It's not a cross, but a horizontal knock!

The ball returned to the point in front of the penalty area again!
Griezmann bypassed Kanter's defense and stopped the ball with a kick first!
At the top of the arc in the penalty area, he kicked and volleyed!

"The ball went in!

"Just snap!
"Griezmann finally evaded Kante's defense!

"While Kante's movement is excellent, Griezmann's movement is even weirder!

"The excellent connection ability in the frontcourt is his best feature!

"It was a contest between two French players and Griezmann won!
"1 to 0!

"Atletico finally scored!

"They tied the score!

"1 to 1!

"Now the pressure is on Leicester's side!"

Excited, Griezmann rushed to the sidelines and celebrated wildly with Atletico fans!

Torres, Gabi, and Cork also rushed up and hugged each other.

Atletico Madrid fans in the stands are finally at ease!
The total score is equalized!

Now it's time for Atletico Madrid!

The interaction on the court and in the stands allowed the Atletico Madrid substitutes on the side of the court to also integrate into it.

And not far from them, Atletico Madrid Simeone was jumping and cheering excitedly, happy like a child.

Another look at the Leicester City coach.

Ranieri did not show any displeasure.

Even when he lost the ball, he remained peaceful.

Just take the time to tell the players something.

He asked Xia Xing, who came to the sidelines, to bring some of the notes he just wrote to his teammates.

After doing this, Ranieri still stood on the sidelines looking at the direction of the court, thoughtful.

Shakespeare was a little anxious: "Man, are we okay? We've all lost the ball."

Ranieri hugged his shoulders firmly: "Don't worry, there is no problem. Conceding the ball at the Metropolitan Stadium is within our expectations. Then just defend well and wait for the opportunity."

Play defense and wait for your opportunity.

These eight characters seem simple, but they are too difficult to do.

Especially for Leicester City, Griezmann's goal just now made them a little anxious.

Kanter made a rare defensive miss, resulting in a conceded goal.

He's clearly not in a good mood right now.

In the 3rd minute of stoppage time, Griezmann received the ball again and passed it diagonally into the penalty area.

Torres kicked low and was punched out by Schmeichel.

Leicester City did not concede another goal.

The referee blew his whistle and the first half was over.

The soldiers of Leicester City left the field slowly.

Kanter walked slowly and was last.

He lowered his head and was not in a good mood.

Captain Morgan patted him on the shoulder, and Schmeichel also comforted him.

But it didn't have much effect, and Kanter still looked a little depressed.

Xia Xing walked over from the side, he gently put his arm around Kanter's shoulder, and suddenly said something.

"Dude, do you think you are already a world-class star? A world-class midfielder?"

"Huh? What?" Kanter was taken aback, shaking his head again and again, "Of course not! I'm far from world-class."

Xia Xing frowned, and shook his head: "No, you said that, but you must regard yourself as a world-class star in your heart, for sure."

"Absolutely not!" Kanter was so wronged that he was about to cry.

I was already in a bad mood when I made a mistake and lost the ball just now, but now that Xia Xing said that about himself, I was even more upset.

Seeing Kanter's disappointed expression, Xia Xing paused for three seconds, then spoke slowly.

"If you don't regard yourself as a world-class star, how can you ask yourself not to make mistakes when facing a world-class striker?"

After saying this, Xia Xing didn't wait for Kanter, and walked quickly to the player tunnel.

Kanter was left alone on the court thinking.

Back in the locker room, Xia Xing heard Ranieri and Shakespeare still talking about Kanter.

"Should we comfort him or encourage him for a while?"

"No way, just downplay this matter and don't add salt to his wound."

"But if he has been in a bad mood, what will happen in the second half? Our midfield defense cannot do without him..."

At this time Xia Xing passed two coaches, and the two coaches glanced at him.

I saw Xia Xing smiled slightly, with a very peaceful expression.

"Don't worry, he's fine."

The two coaches looked at each other.

what's ok?

Does this kid know what we're talking about?

But soon, they understood what this "he's okay" meant.

Kanter was the last to step into the locker room, and all eyes were on him.

But everyone was surprised to find that Kanter changed his depressed state just now, and his eyes shone again.

"Dude, you..."

"I'm fine, don't worry, Captain!"

Captain Morgan was about to say something, but Kanter spoke directly.

"My defensive error in the first half of the game caused the team to lose the ball. I'm sorry. But it won't happen in the second half! I'm already familiar with Griezmann's running style, and he must be unable to run in the second half!"

Listening to Kanter's determined voice, everyone instantly became emotional!

On the front line, Vardy also expressed his opinion: "I was blocked by the opponent in the first half, and I failed to suppress their defense line to the maximum extent, which brought a lot of defensive pressure to everyone. Even if I ran to vomit blood in the second half, I still had to keep the opponent's defender from rushing forward!"

Drinkwater also said: "The conceded goal in the first half was not Kanter's problem alone, it was a problem with all of our midfielders, it was our defense that failed to help him more, it was a problem with all of us."

As he spoke, he also tugged Mahrez.

Mahrez muttered in a low voice: "Why did you bring me..."

Drinkwater: "Majeres has big problems on both offense and defense, so just say it!"

Mahrez: "Yes, it's all my fault..."

Seeing Mahrez's helpless expression, everyone laughed.

Originally losing the ball was a very tangled matter, but under everyone's self-criticism, the momentum returned in an instant!

Didn't it just concede a goal, let's continue in the second half!
Tickets to the Champions League final must belong to our Leicester City!
