Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 384 Leicester City Cycle! Mahrez appears in front of others! (Ask for monthly ticket)
"Sanchez was still dribbling the ball. He saw Welbeck in the middle and didn't pass the ball! The latter didn't move forward!"

"Want to cross?"

"It was blocked! Unlucky, now it's Leicester City's turn to attack."

"After more than thirty minutes of calm, the two teams finally accelerated their offensive pace before the end of the half! One team wanted to expand their lead, and the other team wanted to equalize the score!"

"Now Drinkwater is carrying the ball, he should distribute the ball to Mahrez or Albrighton!"

"..."

On the court, Leicester City's offense made a comeback. Drinkwater dribbled the ball straight across the center line and into the defense zone of Arsenal midfielder Xhaka and Ramsey.

Of course, Xhaka is the only main defender. Ramsey mainly has strong offensive attributes, and in defense, he mostly assists in defense.

Drinkwater looked to the left, but turned his body to the right, seemingly making the most basic fake move to distribute the ball to both sides.

This is also his main responsibility, to advance, pass the ball to his teammates on the wing, and then move forward to support, preferably to take away an opponent's defensive player.

Drinkwater continued to push forward, and his continuous extraordinary achievements brought his adrenaline to its peak. His eyes were fixed on Arsenal's defense line, and he discovered the empty space in the opponent's defense line.

Two more voices sounded almost at the same time. Mahrez's shot was rejected by the goalkeeper with both hands!
Didn't make it!

"Bang!" Amid the stunned expressions of the two, Drinkvot pushed over from the middle like a bulldozer.

As a professional goalkeeper, this scenario is the main simulation scenario for his daily training.

Perhaps in the eyes of fans, he is the one who is often ignored.

If Drinkwater passes the ball faster, there's nothing they can do. If they pass the ball faster, Drinkwater can't pass the ball.

When Mertesacker came up to cover him, he pushed the ball to the right front.

On the football field, it often depends on whether you are fast or not.

On the basis of whether it is fast or not, there is another way to break the rules, and that is to change.

Arsenal goalkeeper Ospina showed a bit of panic on his expression. He quickly got up from the ground, turned around and ran towards Albrighton's position.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The situation is broken!
"Bah, bang, bang..." A burst of applause and cheers spread throughout the stadium, and Leicester City fans were praising their players for their wonderful performance.

But if you look at De Zhuan's worth and the favor he is given by those wealthy clubs, you will understand that he is a very useful person.

Ramsey shouted, signaling Xhaka in front to block the passing route. At the same time, he leaned towards the passing route, ready to intercept.

He moved the ball forward, followed quickly with his body, and leaned to the right to avoid physical confrontation.

There, Mahrez followed up at high speed, penetrated diagonally from the ribs, received the football and fired angrily.

The football bounced to the left!

"route!"

After a season of training, he is still very confident in playing football, and his physical attributes have also been well trained.

That’s where Albrighton was after his forward run.

Xhaka and Ramsey were stunned for a moment. Their bodies had turned to the other side, and now they could not follow the drinking brother at all.

The follow-up shot is always the shot with the highest success rate.

"Oh!"

But unexpectedly, Albrighton gave up this opportunity to become famous by scoring a goal in the final. He stayed calm at the critical moment and kicked the ball towards the center.

nice shot!

Everyone on the scene could tell that this was a good goal, and their impression of Albrighton was much better.

I haven't noticed this kid before. Is he training with these superstars every day and growing up?

In the middle, Chen Yufeng followed up with Xina Dali in two steps. He easily pushed the ball into the goal with one kick.

The ball is scored again!
Before the end of the first half, Chen Yufeng scored twice to rewrite the score to 2-0!

The winning ticket is more firmly in hand!

Chen Yufeng closed his eyes this time and shook his head like a 'walking zombie', feeling the feeling of complete relaxation.

"Yeah——!!!"

He felt great hearing the fans roar again.

This may be a devastating battle!

Wenger's Arsenal seems to be no match for them now.

They are going to win the coveted Triple Crown!

"Albrighton! Your worth will definitely rise greatly!" Chen Yufeng turned around, smiled and stretched out his arms towards Albrighton.

After hugging him, he also hugged Drinkwater, who came with him, and sent his blessings, "You will be credited with this goal, brother. Beautiful breakthrough, here are a few more."

While he was talking, Mahrez also ran up. Just when he thought Chen Yufeng would also praise him, Chen Yufeng's voice sounded again: "After the next breakthrough, don't pass it to Mahrez. He has a bad foot and can't beat him." Enter."

"Look at my movement and give me a through ball. Trust me, I'm very fast and in good shape. It's easy to get the through ball."

This was said to Drinkwater. In other words, after Chen Yufeng scored a goal, he didn't forget to ridicule himself?
Mahrez became angry all of a sudden, "Suffer?!"

"Hahahahaha..." Everyone laughed together, seeming to make fun of Mahrez as part of the celebration. After Chen Yufeng finished making this joke, he thought carefully about what he said.

Yes, when I transfer next season, do I have to see if my teammates have the ability to pass the ball?
With his speed and body, he rushes so hard that others can't hold him back. Through balls are definitely easy to catch.

Just like Haaland is as good as Drogba or even better than them.

The players in the Leicester City team are very capable, but even Mahrez is not very good at through balls.

If there is a passer in the team, his number of goals in a season may be higher.

The center, of course, needs the cooperation of his teammates.

In front of the Arsenal coach's seat, Wenger looked a little angry after being hit by Leicester City's counterattack goal again.

He took the tactical board from the coach's bench, called his assistant, pointed at the center position and said: "Replace this lazy guy for me!"

"Damn it, we just took a step early, maybe we are the ones who score! Let Giroud go up! Let the team play simpler in the midfield and don't get too entangled!"

"We have to play faster!"

"Do you want to change it now?" the assistant asked.

"Let's warm up first and change at the beginning of the second half." Wenger put the tactical board back, folded his arms again and looked at the court.

He wanted to put his hands in his pockets. This was his habitual action, but now that winter was over, summer clothes didn't have so many pockets.

Isn't it a bit retarded to stick it in the butt?
…………

Not long after, players from both sides went through the fifteen minutes of intermission and returned to the field to fight.

Both teams made substitutions.

On Arsenal's side, Giroud replaced Welbeck, who was a little wandering today.

This is a matchup adjustment, it has no special meaning, and the functionality of the players is similar.

For Leicester City, Drinkwater was replaced by Ndidi.

This kind of substitution is not common in Leicester City games this season.

Obviously this is a move to strengthen the defense in the midfielder area, or even to cut off the offensive arm to build a defensive iron wall.

It stands to reason that the team is now fully dominant, and Ranieri should not have made any adjustments and allowed the players to perform their best.

He's done that before.

However, maybe because the team's Grand Slam is coming, and his coaching Grand Slam from the UK is coming soon, he may have chosen a stable approach at the last moment.

People are like this a lot of the time. When a big moment is about to come, you will do something abnormal.

Most of the abnormal actions are to usher in this moment more firmly.

The game continued like this. After Ndidi came up, he had a strong chemical reaction with Kanter. The two were a little weak with the ball, but the defense was really watertight.

Ndidi has a reckless energy and is responsible for charging at the front line of the defense zone. Kanter is rough and thin. While taking care of his own defense zone, he also runs around to help Ndidi make up for the siege.

After the two have finished handling their own affairs, they often help other teammates in the defensive zone.

After more than ten minutes passed, everyone clearly felt that Leicester City could not enter the center.

Unless the ball is passed to Giroud, Giroud can briefly control the ball.

Otherwise, it would be useless to let someone dribble the ball over, or to make a forward pass and then pass the ball through.

The frustrated Arsenal players immediately changed their decision, concentrating the battle zone on the wings and releasing the entire center.

The players in the middle only care about pushing in and grabbing points, without having to think of ways to control the ball.

But they soon discovered that Kanter and Ndidi would stick directly to the wing war zone like dog-skin plaster at this time.

And they both came together!
You play on the left, and they come on the left. If you move to the right, you'd better pass Chilwell's cross as quickly as possible, otherwise they will run straight over!
Can't run to death!
Kante is, and Ndidi didn't expect it to be too.

These two Blue Fox midfielders really played top-notch defensive cooperation today!

They are not afraid of running and going head-to-head with their opponents. On the contrary, they are always looking for opportunities to express themselves.

Arsene Wenger's Arsenal suffered a frustrating loss like this, unable to gain ground, and were often frightened by Leicester City's counterattacks.

Time passed like this minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, it was seventy minutes later.

An infinite loop appears again.

If this cycle had a name, it would be the Leicester City Cycle...

Wenger began to think about what those teams that defeated or drew with Leicester City did, but before he could think of it, Leicester City scored again.

The 79th minute of the game was the real last moment.

Mahrez finally had his moment of glory. He received the football near the corner of the penalty area. There was only one defensive player following him in front, and everyone else was staring at Chen Yufeng in the middle.

Mahrez had the urge to prove himself. His body shook back and forth continuously, and finally got away from Monreal in the fifth time.

"Bang!" A curve ball was shot out of the pocket, and the football drew a perfect banana model and penetrated into the far upper corner of the goal.

Ospina suffered another loss!
Three to zero!
"OK..." Wenger sighed with relief, not wanting to say anything more or think about useless things.
