Chapter 322 Argentine Mahrez! The king of the outer instep!

When Liverpool star Carragher was a guest on Sky Sports, he praised Mahrez's performance this season:
"What Mahrez has done with his left foot this season, I've only seen with Messi!"

Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated.

However, it is enough to see that Mahrez's left foot has been widely recognized by his peers.

And in the eyes of all Blue Fox fans, Messi?

It’s just Argentinian Mahrez!
indeed.

Mahrez this season can definitely be called the number one right winger in the Premier League!
Whether it is game ratings, personal performance and data, they all rank first in the same position!

His golden left foot is deadly whether it is stopping the ball, dribbling, passing, or finishing!
And faced with this perfect opportunity to take the ball in the penalty area and face the goalkeeper alone, he will naturally not miss it!

He had a stern expression on his face, and when he stopped and rubbed his left foot, the ball drew a graceful arc, flew past Weidenfeller's fingertips, and went into the far corner of the goal!

The next second, the entire King Power Stadium was boiling with excitement!

But what they fear most is speedy forwards like Aguero who can move and super explosive power like Aubameyang!
After experiencing Aubameyang's amazing speed, Blue Fox captain Morgan also quickly warned his teammates:
"Robert (Huth), don't let him get up easily!"

After scoring the goal, Mahrez also ran to the corner flag area very gracefully and made a silky kneeling move.

You can't blame Bender for not doing his job well, and you can't blame the defender for not intercepting the pass.

However, they still felt unbelievable that the team was scored less than fifteen minutes away from home.

[Skill effect: The accuracy and success rate of passing and shooting with the outside of the instep of the dominant foot are greatly improved]

However, Dortmund fans were quickly relieved.

“What a tacit and seamless cooperation”

Although in the league, the number of goals conceded is second only to Bayern.

"What Barcelona accomplished with many passes, Ling Feng accomplished with just one pass!"

"Mahrez gives Leicester City the lead at home!"

Quickly pass through the midfield, use the outstanding players in the frontcourt, and create smooth passing and cutting cooperation by running between each other.

And the skill he used was Quaresma's [King of Outer Instep]

Because defense has never been their strong point.

Whether it was a long pass or a cross from the wing, they could not shake their defense at all.

Dortmund's tactical style of play is the wolf pack tactic!

What's more, this pass was too sudden and too accurate.

Although he didn't score a goal,
But this shot still made the home team fans in the stands behind the goal break into a cold sweat.

After standing up, he turned around, pointed with both hands at Ling Feng who ran over to celebrate together, and said with a smile:
"You're so good at passing the ball with the outside of your instep!"

"Mahrez lived up to Ling Feng's passing and scored the ball!"

And Aubameyang, who was standing in front of Morgan a second ago, suddenly started to speed up, made a diagonal pass, and got the ball.

After another kick-off, Dortmund had no ink and pushed the ball directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt and handed it to Royce on the left.

This Gabonese speedster who makes countless defenders in the Bundesliga fearful, catches the ball, turns around, and shoots directly!
With a "bang" sound, the ball shot out!

[Skill representative player: Quaresma]

"hey-hey."

Leicester City's central defenders are all tall central defenders with excellent frontal defensive capabilities.

Fortunately, the angle of the shot was too right, and Schmeichel reacted quickly. He used a one-handed topper to directly lift the ball over the crossbar.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Ling Feng's passing, which is too elusive.
After losing the ball, the Dortmund generals finally realized for themselves why Tuchel repeatedly emphasized that "Ling Feng is the biggest threat" and "this No. 7 cannot be allowed to pass the ball easily."

In fact, after helping Leicester City win the League Cup at the end of February, the system rewarded him with a [Skill Chest]

As soon as Royce got the ball, Shinji Kagawa in the middle quickly came to respond. Then the two played a one-two and hit the wall to cooperate, easily passing the drinking brother.

[Skill Name: King of Outer Instep]

But in the Europa League, even non-major league teams like Thessaloniki and Krasnodar can score their goals.

One can imagine how worrying the team's defense is.

The speed of a cheetah also caught the two central defenders Morgan and Huth off guard.

"Goal~~Goal~~Goal~~~"

This is why his outside instep pass is so accurate and elegant!
Compared with the home team's stands that turned into a blue ocean of joy, the Dortmund fans in the away team's stands were silent.

"The ball is in!"

[Skill level: A]

This single kick, which directly penetrates the entire defense line with the outside instep, is enough to prove that the Premier League's single-season assists leader is not in vain!
. . .

"The most impressive thing about this goal is naturally Ling Feng's penetrating through ball with the outside of the instep!"

Before Kanter could cover up the defense, Royce sent a through ball directly from the front of the penalty area.

Although I have heard about Leicester City's offense for a long time.

"N'Golo (Kante), take your position back a little bit."

This wave of attacks also cheered up the Blue Fox soldiers.

It is indeed a strong team in the Champions League!
Something!

For Dortmund, the goal conceded shortly after the opening was indeed a surprise.

However, they did not pay too much attention to this conceded goal.

After all, this is Leicester City’s home ground.

Moreover, the opponent is the team with the strongest offensive firepower in the Premier League, so conceding goals is expected.

Therefore, in the preparation stage before the game, Tuchel repeatedly emphasized to his disciples not to dare to attack because they are afraid of losing the ball!
The Europa League knockout rounds are two-leg matches, and there is also an away goals rule.

In other words, if they can score one or two goals on the road, it will be extremely beneficial to their promotion situation.

Moreover, the magic weapon for their team to remain competitive in the Bundesliga and Champions League is offensive football!

Ever since, after this wave of attacks, while Tuchel applauded vigorously, he did not forget to wave his hand to signal the team to continue attacking!

In the 23rd minute of the game, Dortmund played an exquisite cooperation on the right, and Mkhitaryan passed a very low ball, which found Aubameyang who was outflanking him in the middle.

"Beautiful Yangyang" took advantage of the situation to push the ball, but was slightly interfered by Huth beside him, and the ball missed the goal;

In the 27th minute of the game, after Royce cut in from the left side, he completed a shot from the left edge of the penalty area, which was resolved by Schmeichel.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Weigel sent a long overhead pass and found Royce on the left.

The latter dribbled the ball inside, attracted the defense, and then sent a cross pass to Shinji Kagawa in the middle. Then a diagonal pass was handed to Mkhitaryan who came in from the right and completed a blast.

Unfortunately, the shot was too powerful, and it hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

The direction of the game did not go as the media and commentators speculated before the game, with both sides attacking aggressively.

On the contrary, after Dortmund lost the ball, they quickly turned around and used their rapid offense to firmly suppress the half-court!
However, Leicester City, which is best at defensive counterattacks in the Premier League, only got beaten.

Several opportunities to counterattack were not taken!
You know, this is something that even Premier League giants such as Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United cannot do!

And watching his team suppress the Premier League's top team on the field, Tuchel's frown on the sidelines relaxed slightly.

From the beginning of the game, he found that Bender could not restrain Ling Feng at all, and he immediately understood a very cruel fact:

In this game, it is absolutely impossible to defend!
Because they really can't stop Ling Feng's lightning speed!

As the star player and tactical core of the Blue Fox, their inability to limit Ling Feng means they cannot limit Leicester City's counterattack!
However, Tuchel also thought of a solution that was not a solution.

Since you can't restrict Ling Feng, then restrict his teammates!
As a result, he made tactical arrangements. Once the ball was lost in the frontcourt, he would immediately counterattack on the spot.

Even if you can't grab the ball, you still have to slow down your opponent's counterattack.

Especially preventing others from giving the ball to Ling Feng!

As long as Ling Feng doesn't get the ball, he will immediately foul on the spot and interrupt the counterattack rhythm!
And this targeted arrangement also hit the blue fox just above seven inches!

You know, the Blue Fox's ball-playing ability in the midfield and backfield can only be said to be average.

The central defender partnership of Morgan and Huth basically has no ability to play the ball.

Many times, whether it is a position advancement or a quick counterattack, the two fullbacks Fuchs and Simpson take the ball and are responsible for handing the ball to Kanter or Brother Drinker for handling.

If both defensive midfielders are being closely watched, they will be directly handed over to Ling Feng who is retreating.

Or just look for a winger.

However, under Dortmund's frontcourt pressing tactics, it became very difficult for the Blue Fox to get the ball out.

Even if the backcourt players want to hand the ball to Ling Feng immediately to initiate a counterattack, they will be interrupted by a direct foul.

After several times, the Blue Fox backcourt players could only choose to play the ball faster, pass the ball to Ling Feng before their opponents could catch it.

In doing so, there are certain requirements for the players' footwork, which greatly increases the chance of passing errors.

If there is a passing error, the ball will return to Dortmund's feet, allowing the Hornets to launch another round of offense!

And under such crazy attacks that spared no effort in physical strength, Dot finally achieved results!
In the 38th minute of the game, Mkhitaryan cut in from the right and shot, but defender Morgan blocked it in time.

The ball bounced out and came not far in front of Brother Drinking Water.

Brother Drinking Water stopped the ball and immediately looked up to observe.

Just as he was about to look for Ling Feng, he moved a little slower and was stabbed by Shinji Kagawa from behind. The ball was passed to Weigel who came in from behind.

The offense and defense reversed again!

The young German genius midfielder raised his hand and pointed forward.

Aubameyang understood the idea, ran back and then pushed forward, directly getting rid of Huth's follow-up defense.

The next second, Weigel sent a direct kick to the ground, penetrated through the crowd and found Aubameyang!

"Nice through shot!"

Even though the trailing central defender Morgan raised his hand to indicate offside, he stepped forward and stretched his legs to block the ball.

But he couldn't stop Aubameyang from sending a low shot into the lower right corner of the goal!

"The ball is in!"

"Dortmund equalized!"

After scoring, Aubameyang rushed directly to the corner flag area, and then made his signature celebration move-a front flip!

The Dortmund fans in the stands were finally able to wave their scarves and flags and cheer for the team's goal!
With the equalizer, Dortmund played away from home.

And with Tuchel's big hand on the sidelines, the Hornets naturally chose to pursue the victory!

However, seeing that the team's defense was tight, Ling Feng did not hesitate and immediately chose to retreat to the midfield area to help defend.

With his retreat, the Blue Fox had an extra defender in the midfield and an extra point for the ball.

The control of the midfield suddenly became stronger, and the entire defensive formation became more intensive.

Seeing that the blue fox was like a hedgehog, stinging itself from time to time, the bumblebee, unable to bite, could only fly around in the periphery, looking for the right moment to launch an attack.

As both sides suddenly became cautious, time also passed quietly.

At the referee's long whistle, the first half of the game ended.

The two sides returned to the locker room with a score of one to one.

For Dortmund, a one-to-one score is a good result.

For Leicester City, this score is unacceptable!
The first half of the game was a roller coaster ride.

Although it started smoothly, with Ling Feng's flash of inspiration and Mahrez's excellent cooperation, he took the lead in knocking on the opponent's door.

However, the situation quickly took a turn for the worse, being completely suppressed by Dortmund's offensive and unable to launch an effective counterattack.

This puts the team at a disadvantage.

However, Ranieri does not believe that the team has been completely suppressed by its opponents.

The high-intensity counterattack in the frontcourt in the first half also made Dortmund's frontcourt players pay a certain price.

In addition to the huge physical exertion, Aubameyang and Shinji Kagawa also received yellow cards.

This yellow card will definitely deter these two players from pressing forward so fiercely in the second half.

As long as their frontcourt pressure is not so strong, they can pass the ball out and launch a quick counterattack!
And as the opponent uses foul tactics to interrupt the counterattack, the counterattack advancement when switching from defense to offense becomes very important!
The team cannot rely solely on Ling Feng as the first point of counterattack, because the opponent has already targeted him.

Therefore, a propulsion point for counterattack must be added.

As long as someone can break out of the press and pass the ball out, the Blue Fox can rush forward!
Ever since, Ranieri's pair of sophisticated eyes hidden under the lenses patrolled the faces of his disciples, and finally landed on a simple and dark face.

"N'Golo!"

Upon hearing his name, Kanter immediately raised his head and met the head coach's gaze.

"Your task in the second half is very important! I need you to advance the ball more in the midfield!"

Faced with Ranieri's instructions, Kanter did not hesitate at all. He directly showed his iconic two rows of pure white teeth and smiled:

"Okay, boss."
