Chapter 28 The Arc Over the King Power Stadium

As the saying goes, the ball is beyond the reach.

Once Mahrez breaks through, there is a big penalty area behind him.

Chelsea's two players, David Luiz and Cahill, are both slow and not that quick to defend.

Even if the central defender comes to defend, there will be a gap in the middle to advance.

At that time, Mahrez only needs to knock across the middle, and the Leicester City players who plug in later can form a shot!
Therefore, even if a foul was called, Ashley Cole felt it was worth it.

This is clearly a tactical foul.

Ashley Cole did not defend himself to the referee, but retreated directly to organize defense with his teammates.

At this time, Ling Feng also came to Mahrez's side.

"Riyad, are you okay?"

"fine."

Holding Ling Feng's outstretched hand and standing up from the turf, Mahrez had a slightly regretful expression:

"It's a pity that it almost passed."

But Ling Feng was very open-minded and just patted him on the shoulder and comforted:

"It's okay, at least we created a chance."

This time the two cooperated tacitly on the right, although they did not completely penetrate Chelsea's left defense.

But it still won Leicester City a well-positioned set kick on the right side of the penalty area.

"Leicester City won a good free kick in the frontcourt. It was about 30 meters away from the goal. The shot was a bit far."

"Let's see how Leicester handle it"

Before the game, Ling Feng was assigned by head coach Pearson to be the first free kick taker in the game.

Therefore, this is also his first set kick.

Looking at the three-man wall composed of Lampard, Oscar and Torres, Ling Feng just leaned into Mahrez's ear and whispered a few words.

Immediately afterwards, the two stood on both sides of the ball.

Seeing this, the commentator at the commentary booth also found it interesting, and couldn't help discussing it with his partner:
"No. 23 Ling Feng and No. 26 Mahrez are both standing in front of the ball. One of these two players happens to be right-footed and the other is left-footed. Who will take the penalty?"

"I guess Ling Feng will take the penalty. In the past few games, his passing skills have been impressive."

"Not necessarily. If Mahrez takes the penalty with his left foot, the ball can rotate towards the goal, and there are also different changes."

"let us wait and see"

When facing a dense defense, long shots and set kicks are both effective ways to threaten the opponent's goal.

Considering the outstanding performance of Chelsea's opponent on the defensive end, it is not so easy to break through the defense.

Therefore, in the past week of training, Pearson specially led the team to practice the offensive tactics of set kicks.

For example, whether the landing point is the front point or the back point, whether to adopt a low, flat and fast cross or a large arc
During the set-piece training, Ling Feng's passing accuracy was unanimously recognized by his teammates.

Therefore, other teammates have no objection to Ling Feng's decision to become the first free-kicker who has just been promoted to the first team for less than a month.

In the football world, the strong can get respect and privileges.

Otherwise, how could there be a difference between ordinary players, stars, and superstars?
. . .

"After a while, you raise your left hand and remind them that the ball will hit back."

"Then you pretend to take the kick."

Here, Ling Feng covered his mouth with his hand and discussed with Mahrez how to take the free kick.

Covering your mouth when speaking allows players to avoid being seen by some lip reading experts, so as to interpret the details of the team's tactics.

Leicester City's two central defenders in the backcourt, Captain Morgan and teenager Moore, both entered the penalty area, preparing to compete for a header.

Looking at the scene of players from the two teams pushing each other in the penalty area, Chelsea coach Mourinho on the sidelines couldn't sit still.

After watching the video of Leicester City's game, he was very impressed with Ling Feng's passing skills.

He also understands that this set kick will be a huge test for the defense.

So, he stood up directly, came to the sidelines, and began to call out to his disciples:
"Follow your training!"

"Everyone keep an eye on their own people!"

"cheer up!"

Soon, after warning the players competing for the top in the penalty area to pay attention to their movements, the referee Paul Tierney blew the whistle in his hand, indicating that Ling Feng could serve.

Mahrez, standing on the right side of the ball, raised his left hand according to Ling Feng's arrangement.

Seeing this tactical gesture, the Leicester City players in the penalty area all understood.

After putting down his hand, Mahrez put on a serious expression about taking the set kick, and then rushed to the ball!
And at the moment when he got close to the ball, his left leg didn't kick towards the ball, but missed the ball!
As Mahrez feinted, the attention of many Chelsea players was attracted to him.

When they saw Mahrez just running past the ball, they were shocked and immediately turned their attention back.

However, at this moment, Ling Feng also rushed towards the ball!
Mahrez's feint is just a cover.

And the one who really takes the penalty is Ling Feng!
He took a step forward with his left leg without hesitation and stood firmly on the left side of the ball.

The right leg swung back as much as possible, and then hit the bottom of the ball hard with the inside of the foot.

The next second, the ball shot out!

Above the King Power Stadium, a perfect inner arc suddenly appeared! !
The ball flew towards the crowd in the penalty area with strong spin.

And just as the ball started to fall, Chelsea's Brazilian central defender David Luiz in the penalty area jumped up first!

"mine!"

However, until the highest jump, David Louis was surprised to find that he seemed to jump too early!
He can't hit the ball at all!
David Luiz at the front point has fallen!
Not only that, his unkempt hair also interfered with the vision of other teammates to a certain extent, preventing them from capturing the exact landing point of the ball.

The high-speed spinning ball just passed over David Luiz's head, and also passed over the heads of several other Chelsea players, and flew straight to the back point.

At this time, young general Moore, who was ambushing at the back point,

Without any hesitation, he jumped directly on the spot, and his legs jumped up instantly as if they were equipped with springs.

"drink!"

With a loud shout, he hit the ball hard with his forehead!
With a bang, the ball turned into a black shadow and shot towards the goal.

The 42-year-old Australian legendary goalkeeper Schwarzer has good goal-line skills.

However, as he grew older, his reaction speed was no longer as fast as before.

What's more, the distance is so close.

He just subconsciously reached out to block it, but he was half a beat too slow.

The ball flew past his palm, smashed hard on the net, and made a "swish" sound!
In the next second, amazing cheers erupted in the entire King Power Stadium! ! !
