Chapter 205 Fighting from Four Competitors' Blocking

From 3 to 0 to 3 to 3, the second half of Leicester City was like a nightmare.

Conceding two goals in a row at the beginning of the game, Leicester City was caught off guard.

And Zaha's three-person goal in a row just now is even more subtle.

Seeing the triumphant Zaha who scored the goal, Drinkwater cursed: "If Xia is on the court, he will be much better than you!"

However, Xia Xing was not there.

How can it be?

With less than 5 minutes before the end of the game, Leicester City retreated across the board.

Although it was equalized, Pearson didn't think the team could overtake the score.

Vardy is alone and helpless, and Mahrez is alone.

In this offensive trident, Xia Xing is unique and the most important existence.

The whole team defended tightly and withstood three threatening shots from Crystal Palace one after another.

Finally, the referee's final whistle came.

3 to 3, Leicester City was absolutely tied by the opponent.

Although they did not win, the fans of the visiting team in the stands were still cheering and excited.

Although there was no loss, the fans of the home team in the stands were still not in high spirits and the atmosphere was gloomy.

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer regretted Leicester City's loss of victory.

"They missed a good opportunity to stabilize the top four. After this game, Arsenal relied on a victory to narrow the point gap with Leicester City to two points. When the next game is played directly, Arsenal will have more fighting spirit. Leicester City is about to usher in the resistance of the top four competitors."

Carragher next to him pouted.

"You're wrong, the fight against the four competitors has already begun.

"Especially this game, you look at the Crystal Palace goal scorers.

"Sanogo, an Arsenal player, came to Crystal Palace on loan this winter.

"Campbell, a Manchester United academy player, joined Crystal Palace last summer.

"Zaha, the former Manchester United player, was on loan at Crystal Palace this season and just got bought out this winter.

"Three players are from Leicester's top four rivals this season.

"Blocking Leicester City's progress can be regarded as helping the old club to compete for the fourth."

Although Carragher's words were a bit personal and emotional, the result was true.

Both Arsenal and Manchester United continued to advance with the three points won by victory, and they were getting closer and closer to Leicester City.

It is very difficult for Leicester City to keep their position in the top four.

Four days later, they ushered in an extremely important game.

In the fifth round of No.20 Premier League, they visited the Emirates Stadium to challenge the Premier League giants Arsenal.

Facing Arsenal, Leicester City has some psychological advantages.

Because in the first half of the contest with Arsenal, Leicester City won the Gunners 2-0.

At that time, Ozil performed extremely poorly and he gave Leicester City an own goal.

With this goal, Leicester City counterattacked defensively and suppressed Arsenal's offense.

In the end Mahrez scored again.

2 to 0, a complete victory over the Gunners.

But now and then, today the Gunners are strong and have a neat lineup.

And Leicester City encountered a lot of trouble.

Morgan, who received a red card in the last game, is suspended today.

Xia Xing, who suffered some minor injuries, also sat on the bench.

Originally, Pearson didn't even want him to be included in the squad, but Xia Xing strongly demanded to play this game.

In the end, a compromise method was adopted, such as substitutes and other opportunities.

Facing the powerful Arsenal, Leicester City, who is short of major generals, is extremely difficult in this game.

From the first minute of the game, Leicester City was suppressed by Arsenal's offense.

Unlike the ferocious suppression of Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United, Arsenal's suppression is a smooth offensive coverage.

It seems that it can be prevented, but it is only for a moment, and it will be stabbed by embroidery needles.

In the 5th minute of the game, Arsenal almost blasted away the goal guarded by Schmeichel with a wonderful fast break.

A few minutes later, Arsenal's attack resumed.

The pass between six consecutive players in the midfield, the ball is passed to the front right.

Sanchez catches the ball and starts instantly!
Pull horizontally and shoot into the far corner!
The ball crashed into the net!

1 is better than 0!

After scoring a goal first, Arsenal played more freely next.

In the 31st minute of the game, it was another wonderful frontcourt cooperation.

But this time it's not up to the striker to solve the problem.

Sanchez catches the ball and passes quickly!
Leicester City's defense is jittery!

Knock Walcott!

The little tiger moved forward quickly, making Leicester City's defense even more tense!
But he didn't choose to shoot either!

Pass back near the baseline!
Inverted triangle!
Rosicky at the top of the restricted area has already appeared there!
Keep the ball, kick and volley!

The ball is flat and fast, straight into the bottom right corner of the goal!

Schmeichel can't help it!

2 is better than 0!

Another goal for Arsenal!
Now the game has just started less than 15 minutes!

The home team fans at the Emirates Stadium cheer!
They seem to have seen the team rank No.3!
In the live broadcast room, Carragher applauded Arsenal.

"The gunners are stable in this game! In front of them, Leicester City has been completely beaten back to the prototype of the newly promoted, and now they have no variables!"

Hearing these words, countless Leicester City fans in front of the TV were already cursing.

However, they also had to admit that Carragher's words made sense.

Mahrez has excellent ball control, but under Arsenal's zone defense, it is still difficult for him to perform at a normal level.

In this game, Mahrez and Albrighton flew together on both wings, and there were few outstanding performances.

Without the connection between the midfield and the frontcourt, it is difficult for Leicester City's offense to be effective.

Without the defensive midfielder, Leicester City's penalty area has been repeatedly breached.

In the last minute of stoppage time in the first half, Walcott slid out with a low shot.

Leicester City almost missed the goal again.

With a 0 to 2 disadvantage, the Leicester City soldiers returned to the locker room.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and Leicester City made substitution adjustments.

James came off the bench and replaced veteran Cambiasso.

Albrighton gave up the left to James, and returned to the center by himself, partnering with Drinkwater to sort out the midfield.

This substitution had some effect, but the effect was not obvious.

James' speed and dribbling caused Arsenal some problems.

At the beginning of the second half, the long-range shot after passing two people in a row, slid out of the goal.

Let the Arsenal fans break out in a cold sweat.

But soon, Arsenal adapted to Leicester City's new tactics.

Facing the thin James, Arsenal's defense went straight up.

After several attacks in succession, James was beaten to pieces.

And Arsenal players don't get cards yet.

After all, there are no too vicious fouls, just reasonable or unreasonable collisions.

Warning at best.

Time passed by one minute and one second, and Leicester City was still two goals behind.

In the 70th minute of the game, James' cross was blocked and the referee blew his whistle.

The fourth official raised his placard.

On the 17th, on the 23rd!
That familiar figure appeared!
