Full-level pass, please call me the speaker of the Three Lions

Chapter 311 Leicester City is not Milan, and this is not Istanbul!
"Wow!"

"The Blue Fox's first counterattack easily pierced the heart of the Red Army!"

"One hit kills!"

"And the one who completed this beautiful strike is still the pride of Leicester City, the sharpest sword!"

"Nanbo Saiwen. Lingfeng!"

Along with the goal, there was a sudden "boom" and the entire Wembley Stadium erupted with an amazing sound.

More than 50,000 Leicester City fans waved their scarves crazily and cheered.

Ling Feng, the hero of the goal, came to Mahrez with a smile on his face, put his arm around his shoulders, and then went to the corner flag area to celebrate together.

From the instigation to the completion of this goal, Ling Feng was naturally the biggest contributor.

However, Vardy's empty running and Mahrez's inverted triangle pass after reaching the bottom were all key to this goal.

"Come On!"

The last time the two sides met for the second time in the league, Leicester City scored first.

It was due to injuries that Klopp had to pull Lucas to the back line to partner with Sakho.

Henderson's voice echoed on the court and cheered up the frustrated players.

However, he couldn't blame others and could only admit that he was unlucky.

Therefore, Klopp feels that it is much better for the team to concede the ball early than to concede the ball late.

Especially against fast players like Vardy and Ling Feng, they are simply at their mercy.

Coupled with Firmino who frequently retreated to help press, the space in the middle was relatively compressed, causing some trouble for Ling Feng's advancement and forward passing.

Although he doesn't have the speed to explode like a full-time winger.

Although he also feels that the team's central defender combination is not reliable.

After Henderson displayed his "Inspiring" captaincy skills, the Liverpool generals also suppressed their negative emotions, cheered up, and continued to participate in the game.

After all, compared to Liverpool, which has no European war mission, its opponent Leicester City has a more intensive schedule.

In addition, the two played as central defenders very rarely, and their tacit understanding was insufficient.

"It's just a dropped ball, it's not like it hasn't happened before! Keep your head up!"

The game has just started, and they still have a lot of time to regain the score!

Immediately afterwards, Henderson also ran to the back line to comfort Lucas and Sakho, who were not watching anyone just now.

Lucas Leiva is a temporary central midfielder.

Coupled with Brazilian compatriots Firmino and Sturridge's retreat in the center, Liverpool played some offensives on the left.

His defensive position is good and he has the ability to hit the ball, but his speed is also slow.

On the defensive end, the defensive midfielder combination of midfielder Henderson and Emre Can also implemented a double-team defense against the most threatening Ling Feng.

However, there is no way he can't use these two as central defenders.

Of course, Liverpool has never been the kind of team that surrenders when faced with adversity!
Wearing the captain's armband, Henderson, whose playing time has been drastically reduced due to injuries this season, began to fulfill his responsibilities as the team leader:

Especially Emre Can, he followed Ling Feng and refused to let him get the ball easily.

And Liverpool's central defender combination of Sakho and Lucas is too slow!
Sakho is tall, strong in air defense, and has the ability to hit the ball with one kick.

After another kick-off, Liverpool's offense became more aggressive. The frontcourt players used active running to constantly pull and pass in various areas, looking for better opportunities.

Witnessing the entire scoring process, Klopp on the sidelines could only lower his head with a ferocious face and cursed "Fake"

However, I haven’t seen anyone’s home with a clean sanitation system!

This gave Ling Feng the time and space to take a leisurely shot from behind!

Because Sakho and Lucas are the only central defender combination that he can currently use!
The team's starting central defenders Lovren and Skrtel were both injured and absent. Among the substitute central defenders, Kolo Toure was too old and young player Joe Gomez was too young. Liverpool defeated the team that suffered from a central defender shortage in the League Cup semi-finals. After Manchester City, they also encountered a central defender shortage!
When he came to coach in the Premier League for the first time, Klopp saw the Premier League's Christmas devil schedule and the impact of injuries on the team without a winter break.

"Made."

In the end, didn't they rely on their tenacious fighting spirit and unwillingness to admit defeat to equalize the score in the away game and get a valuable point from the leader? !

However, the body balance is very poor and the turning speed is slow.

Of course, it's just some trouble, and it won't bother Ling Feng and Lan Hu.

In this wave of attacks, Vardy just used a feint to run forward and attracted the attention of both people at the same time.

Especially Coutinho on the left wing, who often takes the ball on the wing to organize attacks.

But what he didn't expect was that the defense of these two people was completely vulnerable to the invincible trio of the strongest trio in the Premier League!
However, losing the ball first did not surprise him.

But the "Brazilian Magician" has outstanding skills at his feet, and also has a signature shot of a cloud-piercing arrow inside the ball. He can shoot cold arrows suddenly during changes in the dribbling rhythm, threatening the goal guarded by Schmeichel.

As Ling Feng and Mahrez continued to hit the wall in the middle, and after getting rid of the two midfielders Henderson and James in a one-two, they faced Liverpool's defense.

"Focus!"

There is a certain gap between the two sides in terms of lineup strength, competitive status, morale, etc.

Seeing Henderson's actions also made the Red Army fans at the scene burst into warm applause.

Since the number of people in the middle is too dense, it means that the space on the side has become larger!

In the 32nd minute of the game, Liverpool launched an offensive on the right.

Right back Klein dribbled the ball along the wing to the frontcourt, and then played a one-two with Milner before successfully getting the ball down and completing a cross.

"Two-for-one!"

"Beautiful! Klein's cross!"

The ball flew towards the area near the penalty area line in the middle, and both Sturridge and Firmino wanted to grab the first point.

However, a short blue figure reached first and raised his leg to clear the ball.

"Kante!"

"Timely rescue!"

The ball bounced out, heading towards the direction of Ling Feng and Emre Zhan.

Ling Feng, who reacted faster, started first and caught the ball faster than Emre Can.

However, he did not choose to stop the ball and give Emre Can behind him a chance to foul.

You know, the essence of a quick counterattack lies in one word:

fast!
I saw him not stopping the ball, and with a "bang" on the outside of his right foot, he directly sent a long arcing pass over the top!
The ball flew up quickly, like a low-flying cruise missile, drawing a beautiful arc on the Wembley turf and flying straight to the left side of the frontcourt.

"Wow! World-class outside instep pass!"

"The left wing is empty!"

After the ball hit the ground, it did not speed up. Instead, it decelerated slightly and rebounded, landing right in front of Albrighton, who was advancing at high speed!

As right back Klein intervened in the attack and had not yet returned to defend, the one who stepped forward to meet him was Lucas Leiva, who was a guest center defender in this game!
And Albrighton dribbled the ball, passed him directly, and then swiped towards the center with his left foot!
Vardy, who was outflanking in the middle, did not touch the ball due to Sakho's personal interference.

However, Mignolet, who was standing on the goal line, did not attack to destroy or confiscate the ball, but allowed it to pass through the middle and reach the back point on the right. However, when he turned his head, he was surprised to find that a blue figure had already come into view.

It was Mahrez who came in from behind!

Seeing Mahrez appear in the open space, Mignolet had only one thought in his mind besides shock:
"Faq! Where is Moreno going?!"

How could Mahrez miss such a big pie when he was unmarked?

I saw him stretch out his left foot and push forward!
The next second, only a "swish" sound was heard, and the ball was sent into the net!
"Leicester City scores another goal!"

"Mahrez made it 2-0!"

"The Red Army's situation has become very difficult."

However, falling behind by two goals in the first half did not defeat the Reds.

On the contrary, it further aroused their fighting spirit and desire for victory.

The Liverpool generals know very well that they are already standing on the edge of the cliff!
If you don't fight to the death, you will just miss the championship trophy that is so close at hand!

For a moment, Liverpool seemed to be going crazy, turning into waves of bright red waves, impacting the small boat of the Blue Fox.

In this situation of being beaten by opponents, it reflects Ranieri's successful transformation of the team's defensive system.

Although any player on Leicester City's defense is not considered to be at the top of the Premier League.

But all four have their own characteristics, and through Ranieri's blending, they have achieved a good balance.

Especially under the protection of Kanter's large-scale running, the entire defense line is impregnable!
In the end, the Blue Foxes, who all retreated, withstood Liverpool's crazy counterattack in the first half and did not score any more goals.

Otherwise, whether it is getting a goal back or scoring another goal, it will be a headache.

Especially the latter.

You know, leading Liverpool by three goals in the first half is not fun!

Of course, even with a three-goal lead, Leicester City is not Milan.

And this is not Istanbul!
(Brother Milan: Am I going to knock you!)

However, just when Leicester City players and fans thought that this game would be won firmly, the Football Association stood up and told them not to be happy too early!
The referee on duty for this game is Michael Oliver, the youngest referee in the Premier League at only 30 years old and a future famous whistler trained by the Football Association.

Of course, the Oliver that Ling Feng knew well was his famous nickname - Blind Monk!
After the start of the second half, the referee, one of the four magical blind men in the Premier League, began his performance:

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Liverpool continued to control the ball, constantly passing the ball on the ground, and then pushing the formation as far as possible behind the frontcourt, constantly looking for opportunities to play behind.

After all, the two central defenders are also the kind of tall central defenders who turn slowly.

Firmino and Sturridge took turns running in and out, constantly attacking the space behind Huth and Morgan.

Fortunately, the Blue Fox's entire defense line was very neatly positioned and did not give them too many chances.

However, an offside call was missed, allowing Firmino to take the ball in the penalty area and complete the shot.

Thanks to Schmeichel Jr.'s timely attack, the threat was resolved.

Offside is not called, it's just the beginning.

When the game reached the 63rd minute, the most controversial penalty in the game finally appeared!
Liverpool had the ball and had already pressed the entire formation into Leicester City's half.

And just when Firmino dropped back to receive the ball and had just completed his turn, Sturridge suddenly started from the wing and inserted into the penalty area.

And Firmino also sent a short through ball at the right time.

However, just as Sturridge received the ball in the penalty area and turned around to shoot, he was knocked to the ground by Blue Fox captain Morgan.

The referee on duty, Oliver, decisively blew his whistle and pointed directly at the penalty spot!
This sudden change immediately caused a commotion among fans from both sides in the stands.

"Wang Defa?!"

“Is this also a foul?!”

"diving!"

"Well done, Daniel!"

"Okay, the referee is wise!"

Morgan and Huth came to Oliver immediately and explained to him:

"This is a legitimate collision!"

"I used my shoulders! Shoulders!"

"He's diving!"

Video replay showed that Morgan and Sturridge were touching each other shoulder to shoulder during this collision.

According to the Premier League's penalty standards, this does not constitute a foul at all!
After seeing the replay, Ranieri immediately rushed to the fourth official on the sidelines and complained to him.

"This is definitely not a foul!"

But the referee has already made a penalty, and no matter how much you protest, it will be of no use.

In the end, Oliver did not forget to give a yellow card to Morgan and Ranieri, who was protesting on the sidelines, and finally suppressed the anger of the Blue Fox side.

And Liverpool did not waste this opportunity.

Milner, who just arrived from Manchester City on a free transfer this season, took the penalty kick and hit it steadily!
After the goal, Milner rushed into the goal immediately, picked up the ball, and ran towards the center circle.

After another kick-off, Liverpool used penalty kicks to regain a victory. Their morale was high and they attacked even more fiercely.

At one point, Ling Feng was even forced to return to the midfield area.

However, the huge forward pressure of the entire formation clearly exposed the huge space behind them!
Klopp is certainly aware of the huge risks hidden in an all-out attack.

However, he did not remind the disciples. Instead, he applauded on the sidelines and waved to the disciples to continue pressing on.

He knew very well that only by continuing to attack could they even the score.

Even overtaken!

This is also their only choice when they are behind in the score!

However, compared to Liverpool's spear, Leicester City's shield is still better.
When the game came to the 75th minute, the situation on the field changed again!
Liverpool controlled the ball, and midfielder Emre Can pushed the ball through the center circle, and then observed the movement of his teammates, looking for opportunities to pass the ball.

However, in Ling Feng's opinion, this guy seemed to be too trusting.

Don't you see you're getting closer?

The next second, without any hesitation, he kicked his feet hard and suddenly accelerated towards him!
Emre Zhan seemed to have underestimated Ling Feng's explosiveness and speed. In the blink of an eye, Ling Feng was like a bulge, killing him in front of him.

What the hell!

With no time to think, Emre Can, who was afraid that the ball would be stolen, quickly passed the ball to Firmino who was retreating in front to receive the ball before Ling Feng stretched out his foot to grab it.

However, the moment he passed the ball, he discovered that the pass seemed a little weak.

At the same time, a black Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway!

"Kante!"

"Leicester City stole the ball! Will there be a counterattack?!"
