Green Journey

Chapter 283 Two People Are Enough!

Chu Zheng's premonition was not wrong, and the consequences of Ranieri's substitution and adjustment to keep the four-back system were quickly revealed.

In the 65th minute of the game, Leicester City pulled up two defensive fronts at the front of the penalty area. The two lines of defense, the defense and the midfield, were closely connected with each other, maximizing the transmission of Arsenal players in the area at the front of the penalty area. event space.

In the 30-meter area on the left rib, Özil got a cross pass from Monreal on the left, and then approached the Leicester City penalty area bit by bit.

On Leicester City's side, the two lines of defense moved back slowly with Ozil's advancement, and the overall tacit understanding was full.

Kanter is in the left rib area of ​​the top of the arc, and Chu Zheng is on the top of the arc in the middle.

Before Ozil entered the penalty area line on the left rib at the top of the arc, he still couldn't find a passing line to penetrate Leicester City's defense.

At this moment, Ozil saw that Sanchez, who was on the right front, retreated from the inside of the penalty area to the line of the penalty area, and hooked Vasilewski, who was playing the right back, from the back line.

Ozil immediately guessed Sanchez's intentions, he passed without thinking, and then wiped from Kante in front of him and moved forward.

Kanter guessed Ozil's intention to pass the ball, but he couldn't help it. His legs were shorter and he failed to intercept it. He could only watch the ball roll towards Sanchez.

Chu Zheng, who was on the free throw arc, guessed the cooperation intention of Ozil and Sanchez in advance, but before he had time to remind him, Wasilewski and Kanter had already responded in time.

Kanter quickly turned around and followed Ozil, who was resolutely advancing after the pass, while Vasilewski, who was behind Sanchez, resolutely went up.

Outside the penalty area, Sanchez, who received the ball with his back, did not stop the ball. He directly rubbed the ball with the outside of his right foot to the back right, trying to give the ball to Ozil who was going forward.

But the ball just left his foot a moment before, and Vasilewski's foot stretched out a moment later, blocking the ball with great precision.

Chu Zheng was amazed by the precise timing of Wasilewski's top and foot extension.

In fact, the most important thing in defense is position, judgment, and control of the timing of the kick. Vasilewski's defense this time can be said to be extremely perfect in terms of position, judgment, and timing control.

Otherwise, once the ball is passed by Sanchez, with Ozil's personal ability, once he gets the ball, whether it is a pass or a shot in the penalty area, it can pose a major threat to them.

On the sidelines, Ranieri heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Vasilewski's performance, and his high-hanging heart relaxed a little.

On the field, the ball landed in front of the arc in the middle of Leicester City's half.

Coquelin retreated to the landing point at the first time, but the ball bounced so high after touching the ground that he could only stand still and wait for the ball to fall.

But before the ball fell, Vardy rushed in front of him, took off directly with the power of the run-up, and hammered the ball to Chu Zheng who was pressing up behind Coquelin.

Seeing Chu Zheng take the ball, countless Leicester City fans who followed the game became excited. They hoped that Chu Zheng would stage another long-distance attack.

The Gunners fans were equally nervous, but they were afraid that Chu Zheng would charge up again.

Chu Zheng's speed and breakthrough ability left a deep impression on them in the past 60 minutes.

On the court, just as Chu Zheng used his chest to unload the ball bouncing in front of him, he saw Coquelin in front of him turn around and pounce on him.

At the same time, Chu Zheng's talent warning sounded the alarm, informing him that Arsenal players were approaching rapidly behind him.

But Chu Zheng looked around, except for Vardy who was three meters away in front of him, he could no longer find their Leicester City players.

Before that, Mahrez had definitely rushed from the right at this time, but now Mahrez is sitting on the bench.

But even in the face of this situation, Chu Zheng still did not intend to give up this opportunity to fight back.

In the next second, Chu Zheng made his choice.

Before the ball hit the ground, Chu Zheng easily resisted Sanchez, who was chasing after him, with his body, and picked it up with his right foot under Coquelin's eyes.

When the ball flew over Coquelin's head, Chu Zheng stomped heavily and plunged obliquely into the no-man's area on the right side of the middle circle.

At the same time, Vardy also understood Chu Zheng's intention in an instant. He took a step back and took off, turned his back to the left and shook his head to pass the ball.

But he didn't give full play to this head pass, and Sanchez, who was defending on the left side of Chu Zheng, hit Chambers behind the center line with his forehead in the middle.

Chu Zheng felt very regretful. If the ball could reach him smoothly, he would be able to take advantage of the momentum and launch a surprise attack. He is sure that he can break into the Arsenal penalty area all the way, and it is not impossible to even hit the goal. .

Chu Zheng quickly got rid of this idea, and went straight to Chambers who was about to catch the ball without slowing down.

Chambers and Chu Zheng were both teenagers in 95, even five months older than Chu Zheng.

But the same age does not have the same fate, he can't compare with Chu Zheng in terms of fame and performance in the position of central defender.

Seeing Chu Zheng rushing towards him like a vigorous cheetah, Chambers really panicked.

Chambers knew exactly how strong Chu Zheng's stealing ability was.

In order not to lose the ball and take the blame, Chambers chose to keep the ball forward.

But after kicking the ball, Chambers felt a thump in his heart, and he missed the pass in a hurry.

Chambers was looking for Coquelin on the arc in the middle circle ahead, but the rolling line of the ball was severely to the right.

Vardy in the middle circle saw that the ball was very close to him, so he rushed up and grabbed the ball with his right foot in front of Coquelin.

At the same time, Coquelin and Ramsey also flanked Vardy, and Sanchez also turned around to block Vardy's advancing line.

Under attack from three sides, just after running less than one meter, the ball at Vardy's feet was stabbed away by Coquelin.

Seeing the ball roll to the left and past Sanchez's feet, Vardy, who was running horizontally, turned to the left and rushed out of the encirclement of the three with the ball.

But seeing the ball rolling towards the unmarked Chu Zheng, Vardy quickly gave up his plan to take the ball. He quickly picked up his speed and ran behind Chambers.

Vardy saw very clearly that after Chambers came up, Arsenal left Mertesacker in the middle of the backcourt.

Facing this tall and burly central defender, as long as Chu Zheng puts the ball in front of him, then he will be very sure to use his speed to eat Mertesacker raw.

On the sidelines, Wenger immediately raised his heart after seeing this scene.

He was a little worried about Chambers.

However, his worry soon disappeared completely.

On the court, Chambers made extremely correct and smart defensive choices.

Seeing Vardy rushing up, the guy turned around and retreated without saying a word, turning a blind eye to Chu Zheng who was about to take the ball in front of him.

In the right rib area of ​​the middle circle, Chu Zheng's back is facing the Arsenal goal. From right to left in front of him are Ramsey, Coquelin and Monreal who is coming from the wing.

With a glance, Chu Zheng knew that these three guys were going to wrap him into dumplings. He knew very well that if he stopped the ball first and then turned around to play the ball, he would be directly surrounded by the three of Coquelin.

So under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chu Zheng turned around before the ball came in front of him.

Chu Zheng stood on the spot, supported by his right foot, and turned around 360 degrees from the spot.

The moment Chu Zheng completed his 270-degree turn, the ball just passed him by. Then Chu Zheng swung forward with his left foot, which was about to leave him with great precision. The ball was drawn.

"Fack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Fack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Fack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"..."

Seeing Chu Zheng's movement of turning around on the spot before passing the ball, the Arsenal fans in the stands were dumbfounded, and even many people in Leicester City were stunned.

On the sidelines, Ranieri, who has always been extremely calm and didn't see much on his face, just felt that he was being attacked by an electric current at this time, causing countless goose bumps to appear on his white arms.

Wenger next to him also had an absurd expression on his face, which was shown dull by Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng's passing movement, which was just turning around, looked simple, but in the eyes of Wenger and Ranieri, it was no different from a thunderclap.

"hiss……"

"hiss……"

"hiss……"

"hiss……"

In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhan Jun, Zhang Lu, Sun Jihai, and Fan Zhiyi, who had a delay, gasped in unison after Chu Zheng's passing action appeared on TV, and all four of them stared straight.

On the court, Coquelin, Ramsey, and Monreal in front of Chu Zheng were also shocked to the point of numbness when they saw Chu Zheng's pass.

Next to him, Chu Zheng stopped on the spot after passing the ball, looking at the ball in front of Vardy and Chambers that rolled around the rib area, he was full of anticipation.

In the next second, Vardy relied on his superior acceleration to overtake Chambers, who had previously been on the right side with him.

Chambers is also very smart. Seeing that he couldn't get the ball first, he ran to the left and gave Vardy the outside line completely.

In front of the penalty area line on the right rib at the top of the arc, Vardy got the ball, but at this time Mertesacker, who retreated to the front of the top of the arc, also leaned over.

At this moment, Vardy, who was forced to do nothing and had no one to respond, kicked the door directly at the moment of slowing down.

Vardy's choice was beyond Cech's expectations.

On the small restricted area line in the middle, Cech saw the ball going straight to the upper corner of the right goal. He retreated quickly, then jumped back, swiped his right hand in the air, and flicked the ball in the air with his fingertips.

"fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Seeing the ball falling from the sky and flying out of the baseline against the upper corner of the goal, the Emirates Stadium once again let out an exclamation like a tsunami!

Seeing the ball fly out of the bottom line, Chu Zheng closed his eyes with a helpless expression on his face.

He didn't blame Vardy for wasting opportunities. On the contrary, Vardy's unexpected shot was very exciting.

Although it is possible to continue to lead into the penalty area and then hit the goal, Vardy, who is fighting alone, can do this step very well.

On the sidelines, Ranieri, who has been very nervous, also turned his back the moment the ball flew out of the baseline, and Wenger next to him once again spit out a mouthful of foul air from his chest and abdomen.

At this moment, Wenger's understanding of Leicester City's counterattack deepened again.

He saw very clearly just now that only Chu Zheng and Vardy participated in this attack from the start to the end.

On their side, there were six people participating in the defense, but they couldn't prevent Chu Zheng's through ball and Vardy's hanging door.

The efficiency of this counterattack really made the well-informed Wenger feel a little inexplicable fright.

Wenger put away the fear in his heart. He turned his eyes to Ranieri, who was applauding the field in the coaching area next to him, affirming and admiring the performance of the players. Unknown players are trained like this.

At this moment, Wenger has great admiration for Ranieri, the head coach of the same era.

It is hard to imagine the hardships of turning a team from the bottom of the league into a leader, but Ranieri did it.
