Green Journey

Chapter 245 Shake hands and make peace!
After a [-]-minute break at halftime, the two sides returned to the court to change sides and fight again.

Except that Klopp used Benteke to replace Origi who insisted on fighting with injuries after being injured in the first half, the two teams have not seen any changes in tactics for the time being.

But five or six minutes after the start of the second half, the tactical adjustment of Leicester City's halftime break showed its clues.

Compared with the first half, Leicester City players ran more actively.

Especially when Liverpool slow down after a period of high-intensity pressing and rest, Leicester City players will run more actively.

From the stands, Leicester City, no matter whether it is on the offensive or defensive end, none of the players are walking on the field at all, and they are all using active running to complete quick offensive support or defensive coverage.

So Liverpool's game rhythm was directly brought up by Leicester City players.

On the sidelines, Klopp felt a headache when he discovered this phenomenon!

He knows what Ranieri's idea is to run them down, this Italian is too cunning!
But there is no way, if you don't run with them, you will lose your position, and the consequences will be a disaster.

"Dortmund under Jurgen Klopp was known for being able to run, and Liverpool used to be able to run well."

"But Leicester City have an unknown nickname in the Premier League."

"Forrest Gump!"

"Their running enthusiasm in the game is not worse than any team, and even much stronger. The Times once used such a metaphor, 'Except for goalkeeper Schmeichel, Leicester City have 10 permanent players. Nonstop Forrest Gump'."

Hearing Zhan Jun's words, Zhang Lu smiled and said, "Now Ranieri's tactical response is that you Liverpool can run, okay, I will run with you, everyone don't stop!"

"But if Liverpool has been brought to the rhythm, in less than 80 minutes, the physical fitness of their players on the field will collectively run out!"

"So Jiang is still old and spicy. Ranieri may not be as good as Klopp in terms of the honors he has won in his coaching career, but in terms of coaching and adjustment experience before the battle, Ranieri is really a few blocks away from Klopp. !” Zhan Jun laughed.

In the 54th minute of the game, Leicester City got a throw-in on the right side of the center line.

At this time, there are 7 Liverpool players from front to back in the ribs and wings on this side, and the defense can be described as airtight.

Simpson didn't find a good opportunity and had to throw the ball to the right front rib.

Mahrez retreats to meet the ball.

But Moreno was faster than him, squeezed in front of him and took off, and headed the ball towards Chu Zheng who was standing on the center line two or three meters in front of them.

Seeing the ball flying towards him, Chu Zheng quickly turned his head to observe.

Seeing the tall and burly Benteke rushing aggressively, Chu Zheng, who was standing on the center line, jumped up with his back.

Although Benteke was a beat slower, he still jumped up.

The two collided once in the air, and the winner was instantly decided.

After hitting Chu Zheng, Benteke fell on his back and was extremely embarrassed!
Although Chu Zheng resisted Benteke's impact, he staggered forward after landing.

But Chu Zheng supported the ground with his left hand, straightened up in an instant, and caught up with the ball he had just unloaded with his chest.

At the same time, Henderson quickly appeared in front of Chu Zheng to block the road.

Behind Chu Zheng, Benteke also used his hands and feet to quickly get up and chase.

Henderson and Benteke directly formed a pincer attack on Chu Zheng.

But Chu Zheng brought the ball in front of and behind Henderson, and suddenly dunked the ball to the left with his right foot, making a 90-degree turn directly for Henderson and Benteke.

"Chu Zheng! Here we go again!!"

"It's another person charging up!!!" Seeing Chu Zheng charging up again, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu suddenly became excited again.

On the court, after Chu Zheng threw off Henderson and Benteke, he dribbled the ball to the top of the arc.

In front of the free throw arc on the left, Klein, Lovren and Henderson, who came back in time while Chu Zheng was slowing down, surrounded Chu Zheng again.

Klein and Lovren blocked in front of Chu Zheng, and Henderson followed Chu Zheng's right, cutting off Chu Zheng's connection with Okazaki Shinji and Vardy in the middle on the right.

"Chu Zheng, single out the three Liverpool players!!!"

Chu Zheng saw that Liverpool's defense was impeccable this time, and he was not reckless, and quickly divided the ball to the left into the left rib area at the top of the arc.

Albrighton, who followed up from the ribs, joined the ball on the end line of the penalty area.

Suddenly seeing Chu Zheng retreating at the intersection of the free throw arc on the left and the end line of the penalty area, with no one around him to defend, Albrighton quickly knocked the ball across.

At the same time, Henderson, who had already entered the restricted area in front of Chu Zheng, quickly turned around and rushed towards Chu Zheng.

At this moment, Chu Zheng, who had his back to the middle of the top of the arc, suddenly jumped up on the spot and missed the ball directly.

This magical move once again played Liverpool's defense, allowing Henderson to miss the air.

In the arc top area of ​​the middle road, Mahrez followed up. At this time, only Sakho and Moreno were in the middle area of ​​the penalty area.

The two are responsible for guarding Shinji Okazaki on the left side of the penalty spot and Vardy on the right back point.

After seeing it, Mahrez knew that there was little hope of passing the ball, so he swung his left foot and hit it directly to the upper left corner of the goal.

But this time Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet was very well prepared and his position was just right, flying the ball directly to the upper right corner and pushing the ball out of the bottom line.

"Oh!!!!" Zhang Lu exclaimed, "It's a beautiful shot, but it's a pity that Mignolet was prepared for it!"

"Mignolet, the goalkeeper, often plays tricks!"

"Now that Klopp has come and moved the defense forward, his characteristics make his position in Liverpool precarious!"

"If Klopp wants to make a difference in Liverpool, then the goalkeeper must find a top goalkeeper with excellent ball control and a wide range of control!"

Hearing Zhan Jun's words, Zhang Lu nodded, "Mignolet's goalkeeper's goal line skills are top-notch, but his attack and control range are too small, so he is actually not suitable for Klopp's current aggressive tactics. system!"

"This is a change in Leicester City in the second half!" After talking about Liverpool, Zhang Lu brought the topic to Chu Zheng, pointing to Chu Zheng on the TV, "Since the second half, Chu Zheng has been advancing more and more frequently. high."

"He went up to support Mahrez and Vardy!"

"It seems that Leicester City's adjustment is very good."

"As for Kanter, when Chu Zheng goes up, he can also cover the dangerous area on Liverpool's offensive side in time. What a good waist!"

At the scene, Klopp on the sidelines has realized the seriousness of the problem at this time.

But the time he took over Liverpool is too short, and there are a lot of injuries in the team. Now he is a clever woman who can't cook without rice.

In the next 10 minutes, Leicester City and Liverpool played back and forth.

The two sides took turns to stage tough battles and defensive counterattacks, each threatening the opponent's goal.

During this period of time, Chu Zheng frequently went back and forth between the front and back courts, and he was able to go up and come back, which caused great trouble for Liverpool.

Liverpool is missing Milner today, and the midfielder is not tough enough. Being hit by Chu Zheng so repeatedly, the pressure is not insignificant.

At that time, in the 89th minute of the game, just when everyone thought the game would end with a score of 2-1, the accident happened suddenly.

In the 91st minute of stoppage time, Firmino was on the left outside the Leicester City penalty area. Relying on continuous cooperation with Coutinho, Emre Can and others, he suddenly passed the ball from Leicester City. A cross from the crack to the penalty area in the middle of the penalty area.

Benteke followed up in the middle and shoveled on the penalty spot.

Immediately afterwards, the ball unexpectedly hit Huth's foot and was refracted, making Schmeichel, who was originally rushing in the opposite direction, instantly go the other way.

The ball drilled into the Leicester City goal from the left side of the goal and the score was rewritten to 2-2.

It was also the last goal of the game.

In fact, at the end of the game, neither Leicester City nor Liverpool players could run anymore, and they all relied on a willpower to support them.

At the end of the game, although the score was 2-2, there was warm applause from the stands around!

For countless fans, this game is extremely enjoyable!
Especially Chu Zheng's performance, Ma Xingkong's creativity, advancing speed and miraculous defense that day all left a deep impression on these Liverpool fans!
