Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

As Leicester City's substitutions ended, the game continued, and Chelsea players kindly gave the ball to Leicester City.

Due to Andy King's appearance, Li Lei needed to readjust the rhythm of the game and adapt to the changes in the team.

Facing Chelsea, an opponent that does not actively fight for the ball and adopts a defensive counterattack, Li Lei is very familiar with it.

He knew that at this time, he could only patiently fight, constantly looking for loopholes in the opponent's defense, and wait for the opportunity to give a fatal blow.

So Li Lei began to organize his teammates to take active passing and cooperation to stabilize the possession of the ball.

At the same time, he was also carefully observing the weaknesses of Chelsea's defense and looking for opportunities to break through.

Both sides concentrated their forces in the midfield and launched a crazy fight, accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity to give the opponent a fatal blow.

In the 31st minute of the game, an accident occurred again on the field. This time, Chelsea striker Hazard was injured.

For this reason, Mourinho could only replace Pedro.

However, when Chelsea made substitutions, Li Lei immediately seized the opportunity while the opponent was not stable.

In the 34th minute, he assisted Vardy brilliantly, opening the scoring for Leicester City and taking the lead!

Mourinho on the sidelines looked unhappy, while Ranieri excitedly waved his fist to celebrate.

A wonderful counterattack, Leicester City took the lead.

"goooooooal!!!"

"Goal! Leicester City's sudden attack was beyond everyone's expectations!" Keane said excitedly in the Sky Sports live broadcast room.

"Yes, this was entirely caused by Chelsea's defensive misjudgment. Their players are obviously still in a state of confusion." Jones continued.

"Hazard's departure greatly reduced Chelsea's offensive power in the frontcourt, and Leicester City seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, which can be said to be an excellent tactical application."

"Li Lei assisted Vardy to score, and the tacit cooperation between the two was highlighted again. Ranieri's mobilization also worked, helping the team to open up the situation in a disadvantageous situation."

"Mourinho's face was frighteningly ugly. He must find a way to boost the morale of the players and strive to tie the score."

"Otherwise Chelsea's ranking will be worse."

"The Royal Power Stadium was completely boiling after the goal, and it turned into a carnival blue ocean!"

"Leicester City fans were completely ignited by this sudden goal, and the entire home stadium was their happy party scene."

"You can see that the players and the head coach are also celebrating excitedly. They are excited about overtaking the score."

"And Chelsea is undoubtedly depressed and frustrated, and the players' faces are full of disappointment."

The whistle sounded at the end of the first half, and Chelsea players walked back to the locker room one after another.

In the locker room, Mourinho said angrily: "What did I tell you before the game?! Keep an eye on Li Lei, you must keep an eye on Li Lei! Why don't you listen to me!"

"The goal was lost because of your defensive negligence against Li Lei! I clearly emphasized many times that we should focus on him!"

"You let Li Lei assist and organize unscrupulously, which is to seek death! He completely played you in the palm of his hand!"

"If we can't limit Li Lei, we can't win. Your problem is that you don't follow the tactical arrangements!"

"In the second half, we must focus on Li Lei and limit his range of activities and passing lines. We must find a way to equalize the score, otherwise we can't think of getting points today!"

Facing Mourinho's roar, no Chelsea player responded at this time. None of them could bear the anger of the head coach.

On the contrary, the locker room of Leicester City was much more harmonious.

For Albrighton's injury in the first half, teammates went up to ask about the situation and send blessings.

"Albrighton, is your injury serious? Take care of yourself."

"Come on! We believe you will recover soon!"

"Don't worry, we will do our best to help you beat Chelsea!"

"Take care of yourself, no matter what the result is, you have performed very well!"

Ranieri also encouraged Albrighton: "Kid, you have performed well, and there will be more opportunities in the future."

"Rest well now, we will win!"

Then Ranieri cleared his throat and began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

"Guys, it was not easy for us to take the lead in the first half."

"We can't let Chelsea easily equalize the score now, we must continue to maintain the offensive posture."

"The back line should pay attention to Chelsea's long over-the-top balls and don't let them get any counterattack opportunities."

"Once the steal is made, counterattack immediately."

"The core of the midfield organization is still controlled by Li Lei."

"Provide him with more support and cooperate with him more. We must control the rhythm of the game."

"Vardy, you have to hold Chelsea's central defenders back, and don't give them the chance to double-team you. "

"Mahrez, you have to cooperate more with the midfield and strive for opportunities to score goals. "

"We are already one goal ahead, and now we have to think about how to keep this advantage with all our energy."

"Everyone must strictly implement my tactical arrangements, and we will definitely win!"

The players listened carefully to Ranieri's tactical arrangements and expressed their understanding.

During the short break, they also had to race against time to recover their physical strength.

At the beginning of the second half, as expected, Chelsea took a strong attack, their style of play became extremely fierce, and they pressed forward with all their strength.

And the close defense of Li Lei was implemented as Mourinho ordered.

No matter where Li Lei ran, there would be two Chelsea defenders following him, strictly limiting his space for movement.

Faced with such a solid defensive blockade, Li Lei was also very strenuous, which made it difficult for him to get rid of the entangled defense, The ability to organize an offensive has been greatly reduced.

The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for Leicester City. Chelsea is like a trapped lion, trying its best to win back a game.

Facing Chelsea's crazy counterattack, Li Lei began to command his teammates to shrink their formation and strengthen their defense.

He was not worried about the opponent's offensive, because this meant that Chelsea would reveal flaws and give them a chance to counterattack.

However, Leicester City still had a hard time dealing with Chelsea's fierce attack.

The second half had just begun, and in the 50th minute Vardy received a yellow card for overly intense defensive actions.

Li Lei was commanding on the field with all his strength, trying his best to stabilize the team's rhythm. Defense is the current priority, and offense requires patience to wait for the opportunity.
