With the advantage of home court, Tottenham Hotspur gradually took the initiative in the game, bringing huge pressure to Leicester City's defense.
In the first half of the game, Leicester City's defense was very unstable. Facing Tottenham's fierce attack, they seemed a little overwhelmed.
First, in the 20th minute, Tottenham's attack was organized in front of Leicester City's penalty area.
After Kane got the ball, he turned quickly and shot a wonderful shot. The ball hit the post and bounced into the net. Tottenham took the lead 1-0!
After losing the ball, Leicester City tried to organize a counterattack, but their attack did not cause too much trouble to Tottenham's defense.
On the other hand, Tottenham's attack became more and more sharp.
At the end of the first half, Tottenham launched another attack.
This time, it was Ali who received the pass from his teammate, turned cleverly in the penalty area, and then shot into the far corner. The ball once again passed Schmeichel's fingers, and Tottenham expanded the score to 2-0!
At the end of the first half, Tottenham led Leicester City 2-0.
On the way back to the locker room, Leicester City players looked a little frustrated, and their performance was obviously below expectations.
After the first half of the game, Keane and Jones began to comment on the first half of the game in the Sky Sports live studio.
Keane: "Jones, Tottenham played very well in the first half."
"They completely controlled the rhythm of the game and put great pressure on Leicester City's defense."
Jones: "That's right, Keane."
"Tottenham's offense was very smooth, especially Eriksen and Ali. Their passing and running were very imaginative, which caused a lot of trouble for Leicester City's defense."
Keane: "Yes, Leicester City's defense was very unstable today."
"Facing Tottenham's offense, they seemed a little flustered, especially in the first After losing a goal, their mentality seemed to be affected. "
Jones: "This is a wake-up call for Leicester City."
"They need to adjust their status as soon as possible, otherwise they may face greater difficulties in the second half of the game. "
Keane: "In addition to defense, Leicester City's offense did not cause much trouble to Tottenham."
"Vardy and Li Lei's performance today was not ideal. They failed to make good use of their speed advantage."
Jones: "This has a lot to do with Tottenham's defensive strategy."
"They effectively restricted Vardy and Li Lei and cut off their connection with the midfield, which made Leicester City's offense seem a bit monotonous."
Keane: "That's right."
"However, I think Leicester City still has a chance to turn the situation around."
"They need to make some adjustments in the second half, especially on the defensive end, they need to find a way to deal with Tottenham's offense."
Jones: "Keane, I agree with you."
"In addition, I think Li Lei also needs to be more active in the second half."
"As the core of the team, he needs to stand up at the critical moment and use his own "
Keane: "Yes, Li Lei's performance is crucial to Leicester City."
"If he can find a breakthrough in the second half and cause some trouble for Tottenham's defense, then Leicester City may be able to turn the situation around."
Jones: "Let's wait and see."
"The second half of the game will definitely be more exciting. I believe Leicester City will not give up easily."
"They will go all out to fight for their own honor."
Thousands of miles away in China, Gao Yi's face was full of anxiety and uneasiness in his live broadcast.
As a die-hard fan of Li Lei, he was very disappointed with the team's performance in the first half, which reminded him of the scene against Arsenal this season.
"What's going on? Why does our defense look so fragile? Tottenham's offense is too sharp.We have no way to deal with it!" Gao Yi couldn't help sighing while watching the game.
"Li Lei's condition today is not very good. He doesn't seem to be able to integrate into the game well."
"I know that Tottenham's defense is very targeted, but I believe Li Lei has the ability to break through this limitation!"
In Gao Yi's live broadcast room, the barrage is constantly refreshing.
Many fans, like him, are disappointed and worried about Leicester City's performance in the first half.
"This is not the Leicester City I know! Their performance today is too outrageous!"
"Come on, Li Lei! We all believe in you! You must show your strength in the second half and lead the team to counterattack!"
"The coach needs to make some adjustments. The current tactics are obviously not working. Maybe we need to strengthen the control of the midfield and give more support to the forwards."
Gao Yi looked at these barrages and felt more uneasy.
The half will be a critical moment for Leicester City to prove themselves.
They need to show their fighting spirit and courage to reverse this unfavorable situation.
"Brothers, I know everyone is very disappointed now, and so am I. ”
“But the game is not over yet, we still have 45 minutes! Let us continue to believe in our team, believe in Li Lei, and give them the greatest support and encouragement!” Gao Yi said to the live camera with a firm tone.
“Remember our slogan: Foxes never give up! No matter what the score is, we must persist until the last second!”
“In the second half, let’s cheer for Li Lei and Leicester City together. I believe they will definitely bring us surprises!”
Gao Yi’s words seemed to inspire the fans in the live broadcast room.
The barrage area became active again, and words of encouragement and support were constantly refreshed.
“Gao Yi is right! We can’t give up! Foxes never give up!”
“Li Lei, we will always support you! In the second half, let’s witness a miracle together!”
“Leicester City, you are the best! I believe you can definitely turn the situation around and win this game!”
