Chapter 165 Chu Zheng's Premier League debut!

In the 25th minute of the game, Schlupp received a return pass from Albrighton on the center line of the wing in his own backcourt, quickly smashed the ball and turned to the right half for transfer.

De Laet unloads the ball and drives it forward quickly along the ribs.

Entering the side area 40 meters away from Sunderland's goal, seeing Mahrez pull from the center and rushing into the right rib area at the top of the arc, De Laet immediately raised his right foot and pushed the ball over.

Mahrez met the ball in front of the upper right corner of the penalty area.

Turning around and facing the goal, Mahrez is behind Sunderland left back Van Aanholt and in front of him is midfielder Cattermole.

On the end line of the penalty area, Mahrez suddenly dialed the ball to the left with his left foot.

Immediately, the ball rolled along the end line of the penalty area to the top of the arc.

Mahrez's change of direction was extremely fast, causing Catmull to slow down a beat after reversing his center of gravity.

But with the advantage of his position, if Mahrez shoots directly, then Catmull will have time to lift his foot to block.

Under the eyes of everyone, Mahrez followed up and raised his left foot sideways, looking very much like he was going to hit them directly.

Catmull fell to the ground and stretched out his feet to block.

However, when he fell down, Mahrez suddenly retracted his left foot and kicked the ball back to his right foot that had already stepped on the penalty area.

As a result, Cattermole was in a tragedy. Before he could stop his foot, he shoveled Mahrez's left foot and brought him down.

"Beep!!!!!!!"

The referee Mason's sharp foul whistle sounded, and he rushed over and pointed directly at the penalty spot.

On the bench, Chu Zheng immediately applauded Mahrez's wonderful breakthrough.

beautiful!Play Catmull all round.

From Chu Zheng's perspective, it was clear that Mahrez's movements were extremely realistic.

When Chu Zheng was defending on the field, he was actually quite annoyed by this kind of player who had excellent skills at his feet and was extremely flexible.

As long as you don't pay attention, this type of player can make you suffer dumb.

Just like Cattermole now, he couldn't hold his feet at all, so he had to foul passively.

Ranieri was also applauding on the sidelines, and the three goals were in sight. The Italian, who had always been a little nervous, was completely relieved.

All around the stands, the Leicester City fans were also extremely happy.

Except that the defensive line was a little lack of concentration shortly after the start, which led to several dangerous situations, they are still very satisfied with the game so far.

Not long after, Mahrez, who personally took the penalty kick, directly hit the lower right corner of the goal with his left foot.

The Sunderland goalkeeper misjudged the direction.

Leicester City 3-0.

In the following time, the game showed a one-sided situation, Leicester City crushed Sunderland and beat them hard.

In the 38th minute of the game, Sunderland took a goal kick and Defoe headed the ball back to the center circle of his own half.

Shinji Okazaki aggressively went up and successfully intercepted the ball and quickly handed it to Mahrez who inserted along the arc of the middle circle on the right.

The moment Mahrez received the ball, Sunderland only had Kabul as a defender in the backcourt.

Seeing that Vardy on the left has started to speed up, Mahrez quickly knocked the ball over, and the advance was extremely exaggerated.

On the left side of the top of the arc, Vardy rode away and got the ball.

Facing Pantilimon who went out to the front of the small penalty area, Vardy raised his foot and hit after crossing the line of the large penalty area.

Under the eyes of everyone, the ball was picked up by Vardy, flew lightly to the right of the goal, and crossed the Sunderland goal line again.

4-0!

"There is no suspense, Leicester City has killed the game!"

"Valdy, after a Premier League season, this England striker is constantly changing himself!"

"The ball was played so calmly!"

"Shooting! What a brave man!"

In the live broadcast room of LeTV Sports, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were also full of smiles.

They had a premonition that Chu Zheng would definitely play in the second half and complete his Premier League debut in his career.

as predicted!

In the 58th minute of the second half, Ranieri, who scored three points ahead of schedule, replaced Drinkwater and Andy King with Chu Zheng and Kanter.

Regarding the performance of these two players, Ranieri was a little dissatisfied except at the beginning, but he was still very satisfied later.

The performances of Drinkwater and Andy King three and 10 minutes after the first half were excellent.

Whether it is midfield scheduling or defensive interception, they have done a very good job. Ranieri can score high here.

In the stands, seeing Chu Zheng and Kanter, two new aids with a combined value of 4900 million euros, appeared on the stage, countless Leicester City fans became even more excited.

They are very satisfied with Drinkwater and Andy King's performance today, so now they want to see how the two new midfielders will perform.

If the performance is not as good as Drinkwater and Andy King, then they have something to do.

"Okay! Fans and friends, Chu Zheng is on the field! This is the first Premier League match of Chu Zheng's personal career, and it is also the first time after seven years that a player from our country has set foot on the Premier League again!"

"Raieri still loves Chu Zheng! It is said that Leicester City opposed this transfer at the beginning, but Ranieri insisted on it repeatedly. In the end, he persuaded the senior management of Leicester City to buy Chu Zheng!"

Seeing Chu Zheng and Drinkwater coming on stage after Kanter after the handover, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu also talked more.

On the field, after the game restarted, Chu Zheng began to perform his duties.

Five minutes later, although Chu Zheng did not perform too well, countless Leicester City fans still noticed the changes in their team after Chu Zheng played.

That is, the running speed of the midfield is faster and smoother!

It's a fluidity they haven't seen on previous teams.

In the 68th minute of the game, Sunderland's attack on the left was blocked.

Sunderland did not stick to the wing, but quickly passed back behind him and changed the direction of attack.

Rodwell got the ball in the rib area 40 meters away from the fans in the left half, and quickly pushed the ball to Johnson at the front of the arc.

Kanter guessed Rodwell's intentions, but he stepped forward to intercept a beat later.

At the front of the arc, Johansen took the ball and turned to face the goal.

I saw Sunderland striker Defoe standing in front of Huth in the arc top area two meters away in front of him, and his body tended to lean to the right.

Immediately, Johansen understood Defoe's intentions, so without saying a word, he stuffed the ball from the right side of Defoe with his back into the Leicester City penalty area.

At the same time, Defoe also took advantage of the situation to complete the turn, and with the help of his short stature, he sneaked past Huth with a low waist.

On the right side of the penalty spot, after catching up with the ball, Defoe leaned to the left, raised his right foot and swung towards the ball.

At this time Schmeichel has already come out to the end line of the small penalty area, compressing Defoe's shooting angle.

In the next second, a figure suddenly rushed to Defoe from the right side of the penalty spot, fell to the ground and shoveled.

bang!
I saw that the ball just shot by Defoe just hit the inside of Chu Zheng's outstretched right foot and bounced.

In front of the goal, Schmeichel quickly retreated and waited for two seconds on the goal line before easily grasping the falling ball firmly in his hands.

"Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Seeing Chu Zheng's wonderful blocking this time, there was an uproar in the surrounding stands.

Chu Zheng ran this time and they saw it clearly.

Just now, Chu Zheng protected the rib area on the right side of the top of the arc.

As a result, the moment Johnson passed the ball, Chu Zheng suddenly ran diagonally towards the penalty area.

Combined with the current scene, it is obvious that Chu Zheng guessed the intention of Sunderland's attack. He knew that Johansen could pass the ball into the penalty area, and Defoe could also complete the goal.

Seeing Chu Zheng's miraculous defensive awareness for the first time shocked countless Leicester City fans.
