Chapter 262 Fighting Red Army Liverpool Again

"Welcome to the 2015-16 season brought to you by LeTV Sports, the match between Leicester City and Liverpool in the 24th round of the Premier League!"

At 3:45 a.m. BJ time, with the access of the live broadcast signal, Zhan Jun's unique voice sounded on time in the ears of countless fans waiting in front of the screen.

The King Power Stadium at this moment in the camera has been occupied by blue and red, which is clearly distinct.

Not only the loud singing of Liverpool fans lingered in the stands, but also the loud applause of Leicester City fans with folding fans. Leicester City fans tried to use this applause to suppress the singing of Liverpool fans.

The game has not yet started, but the fans of both sides have already started to compete.

At 3:55, Leicester City and Liverpool players appeared on the field under the leadership of the referee Marina.

The starting lineups of both sides were also played in the camera at the right time.

Leicester City: 442
Goalkeeper: Schmeichel

Guards: Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fox
Midfielders: Mahrez, Chu Zheng, Kante, Albrighton

Forwards: Shinji Okazaki, Vardy

"Today's game is the fourth time Leicester City have played against Liverpool this season!"

"A week ago, Leicester City eliminated Liverpool in 30 minutes of overtime in the second round of the Carabao Cup against Liverpool and successfully advanced to the Carabao Cup final. At that time, they will decide the Carabao Cup champion with Manchester City! "

"After a week of rest at the scene, Ruster and Liverpool, who have returned to the league, will start a new round of dialogue again!"

"Ranieri has been with Klopp this season." After Zhan Jun finished speaking, the cheerful Zhang Lu immediately joked.

"If it wasn't for Leicester City being eliminated in the FA Cup, it is estimated that they might still hit each other!" Zhan Jun was also happy.

Before the laughter fell, Liverpool's starting lineup appeared.

Liverpool: 433
Forwards: Lallana, Firmino, Milner

Midfielders: Emre Can, Lucas, Henderson

Defenders: Moreno, Sakho, Lovren, Klein

Goalkeeper: Mignolet

"Looking at the strikers, Klopp seems to be playing without a striker today." Seeing the list, Zhang Lu looked a little astonished.

"Liverpool is really unlucky this year. There are frequent injuries in the team. Many main players have been suspended due to injuries. Some time ago, Coutinho, the absolute main force of the team, was also injured. But Lovren started today. He The injury should not be too serious, which is good news for Liverpool." Zhan Jun, a die-hard Red Army fan, smiled helplessly.

"This is the strongest lineup that Klopp can make now." Zhang Lu continued, "In the last round of the league, Liverpool and Norwich, who had been unbeaten for three consecutive rounds, played a goal battle, and finally relied on Lara Nana's goal sealed a tough 5-4 victory."

Zhan Jun nodded, sighed, and said: "Klopp is also in a dilemma now. He can't let the team's performance continue to decline, and he has to rack his brains to let the players adapt to his tactical system as soon as possible!"

At 19:45 London time, the game officially started.

On the field, as soon as the whistle sounded, Leicester City and Liverpool put on a bayonet confrontation at the beginning of the game. Ranieri and Klopp seemed to want to go together. The opponent launched a high-pressure press.

This made the Leicester City and Liverpool fans at the scene think of the crazy confrontation between the two sides in the first round of the 18th round of the Premier League.

At 1 minute and 48 seconds of the game, Leicester City and Liverpool fought fiercely on the left center line of the center circle.

The possession of the ball changed hands three times, and Henderson finally drew back to the defense in the middle.

After Sacco stopped the ball, he brought the ball to the front of the arc in the middle circle, but the guy didn't make the ball for a long time, and he seemed a little at a loss.

When Shinji Okazaki stepped up to grab him, he kicked in a panic.

The ball went straight to Henderson in front of the center line on the left side of the center circle.

Seeing the ball come back, although Henderson was extremely speechless, he was not idle, and he quickly raised his foot to stop the ball.

But Kanter came up very fast, rushed in front of him, and grabbed him with his feet.

Henderson was so disturbed that the ball slipped past his feet.

Huth saw the ball rolling towards him, and Henderson also chased him to make a close call. He rushed to the ball and swung his foot.

Immediately, the ball went straight to Vardy next to Sacco in the middle.

Vardy saw that the ball was flat and fast. If he turned around and chased after it, he might not be able to catch up. Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet missed it, so he jumped up on his back and hammered the ball back with his forehead. Chu Zheng in the restricted area.

Chu Zheng didn't expect Vardy to pass the ball back, but seeing Lovren in Sakho's left rib area fell behind, causing Vardy in the center to not be in an offside position, he immediately knew that Vardy would pass the ball back. What did Dee want to do.

So Chu Zheng raised his left foot sideways to face the ball falling in front of him and swung it.

Immediately, the ball hit the ground and quickly flew to the right rib area of ​​the frontcourt.

At the moment of passing the ball, Vardy started to leave from Sakho.

The bulky Sacco couldn't keep up with Vardy at all, and could only watch Vardy get further and further away from him, rushing towards the right rib.

In front of the penalty area line on the right rib at the top of the arc, Vardy got the ball, but Lovren also blocked him in time.

Seeing that Shinji Okazaki and Mahrez both reached the front of the top of the arc, Vardy did not act recklessly, but passed the ball across to Mahrez who entered the top of the arc.

He wanted to take advantage of Liverpool's defensive players temporarily unable to come back to play, but Mahrez took the ball and played.

Seeing the ball being held tightly by Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet, Vardy was speechless.

"Mahrez is a little anxious about this ball, and the offensive planned by Chu Zheng was wasted!" Zhang Lu's face was full of regret.

"Chu Zheng's passing is really getting better and better. The strength of this direct pass with his foot on the ground is just right, making Mignolet afraid to attack at all!"

Not long after Zhan Jun finished speaking, Chu Zheng organized an offensive again.

At 2 minutes and 49 seconds of the game, outside the middle circle on the right, Kanter and the retreating Firmino competed for the top.

But Kanter's height is flawed, and he didn't fight this time. The ball made Firmino head towards Lucas.

Lucas saw Shinji Okazaki staring at him. He didn't dare to stop the ball, but raised his right foot to pad the ball towards the half-court circle of Leicester City.

Lallana was in place immediately, stopping the ball with his back and chest.

But Huth and Morgan behind him did not retreat but advanced, forming a pincer attack with Kanter and Chu Zheng who rushed back in front of Lallana.

By the time Chu Zheng and Kanter rushed in front of him, the ball had already been passed.

Chu Zheng quickly turned around and directly rushed to Henderson who had already got the ball.

Henderson saw that the passing lines for Firmino, Lallana, and Milner on the left flank were all cut off, so he had to smash the ball back.

But as soon as he turned around, Chu Zheng clung to him from behind, pushing Henderson away like a rear-end car with its gas pedal on.

In less than three seconds, Henderson, who had just crossed the center line, was pushed aside by Chu Zheng.

After Chu Zheng got the ball, he rushed directly along the middle road.

At the same time, Vardy and Okazaki Shinji in the left rib and right rib areas also went hand in hand.

"here we go again!!"

"Three hits two!!!" Seeing Chu Zheng charge up, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu exclaimed.

But this time Chu Zheng didn't rush to the bottom, but gave the ball to Vardy.

When Chu Zheng scored the ball, Lovren, who was retreating parallel to Sacco in the middle, had to move to the ribs, while Chu Zheng continued to advance.

In the front of the upper left corner of the penalty area, Vardy slowed down after taking the ball.

But at the moment Lovren slowed down, he waded the ball vigorously, and then picked up the speed again.

After entering the penalty area, Vardy kicked a cross from the sideline to the middle.

In the middle of the big penalty area and on the line of the small penalty area, Chu Zheng beat Sakho to take off and shake his head to attack the goal.

In front of the goal line, facing Chu Zheng's header from close range, Mignolet raised his hands up and lifted the ball over the crossbar.

"Huh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" King Power Stadium erupted into violent exclamations.

When Chu Zheng saw the ball missed, he shook his hands in anger!
"Liverpool was fierce on the spot, but they couldn't organize the offensive immediately after they got the ball."

"Yes!" Zhan Jun nodded, "Once Liverpool got the ball in the midfield, they would immediately be surrounded by Leicester City in all directions. Behind the void."

"Chu Zheng's current body, just now Henderson couldn't bear it at all." Zhang Lu laughed, "Chu Zheng's current position is becoming more and more active, and this time he has rushed to the forward position."
