John Baker's commentary continued to echo over the stadium, while Lake in the stands stared with his eyes wide open.
He could hardly believe what he had just seen.
"Wow! A beautiful defensive counterattack, a fast breakthrough, and a very good timing for the pass."Lake said excitedly.
His finger kept pointing at the big screen that was watching the goal just now."It's really a surprise! The player who shot the goal also performed very well."
"He, he is the one we need," Lake whispered to himself.
The goal in the first half was completely beyond the expectations of Leicester City coach Pearson. The best prediction in the pre-match plan was 0:0.
The scene in front of him made him excited and nervous, and he had greater expectations for the next game.
As the referee announced that the goal was valid, the stadium erupted in even louder cheers.
"The goal counts! We can see the referee's gestures"
"This was a wonderful cooperation. Vardy's shot was extremely accurate, and all this was inseparable from Li Xiang's excellent assist!"
Vardy ran to the corner flag area and slid on his knees to celebrate his goal.
After celebrating the goal, he also did not forget to thank Li Lei for his assist.
""Brother, great pass, you seem to know my thoughts, every time I receive your pass it's very comfortable." Vardy said excitedly
"Congratulations, brother. This is your fifth goal!" Li Lei was also happy about Vardy's goal.
Li Lei's teammates also celebrated this hard-earned goal excitedly. They were too passive in the first half.
One minute later, the game resumed with the referee's whistle.......
Just as Leicester City was feeling complacent with their first goal, the powerful Blackburn quickly adjusted their status.
They began to organize attacks more actively, and the high morale of the team made Leicester City's defense line breathless.
""Huh!"
Li Lei, who was more involved in the defense, began to show his physical defects and was now gasping for breath on the court.
Blackburn star Robison frequently passed the ball and, like a rocket being launched, he repeatedly flew over Leicester City's defense on the left.
Center forward Carroll was not to be outdone. He entangled with two defenders in the penalty area, relying on his strong physique and excellent positioning ability to repeatedly cause chaos in the opponent's defense.
These two strikers made the defense organized by captain Morgan exhausted and barely coped with their attack.
The Blackburn team had constant opportunities, and they decisively launched a frenzy on Leicester City's goal.
These waves of attack were enough to scare any opponent. If Leicester City wanted to maintain its lead, the back line faced a huge test.
"In the 42nd minute of the game, after nearly half a game of defense, Leicester City's defense has shown signs of fatigue. We can see that the players in the defense have begun to make frequent mistakes."
"At this time, Ferdinand, the core of Blackburn midfield, waved his magic wand and made a wonderful long pass to find Robison on the right."
"Robison dribbled the ball too fast, and the Leicester City right back lost track of him."
The tone of the commentator John suddenly became tense, and the fans around him also held their breath and stared at the direction of Leicester City's goal.
Robison made a wonderful feint to knock down the last defender and rushed into the left side of the penalty area. The ball he whipped out was amazing!
Leicester City goalkeeper Adam Smith tried his best to save the ball, but unfortunately his fingers only brushed the ball and could not change the fate of the goal being broken.
"gogogogogo!"
"Just thirteen minutes later, Blackburn's star player Robertson scored."
"Blackburn pulled one back, with Robertson's goal bringing the score back to level"
"This goal before the end of the first half undoubtedly gave Blackburn great encouragement, and they will continue to put pressure on Leicester City in the second half."
Blackburn's goal disappointed Li Lei and Vardy in the frontcourt of Leicester City. They felt sorry that the lead they had just achieved was equalized. The ones who felt more guilty were the entire defense of Leicester City and captain Morgan.
The goal was lost in his defensive area. As the commander of the defense, he did not organize the defense well, allowing Robison to break through and shoot successfully.
Now Morgan was lying on the grass with a look of regret on his face. He was unwilling to lose the lead because of his mistake.
Although he was still blaming himself in his heart, Morgan knew that as captain he could not indulge in mistakes for too long.
Before the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, Morgan struggled to stand up from the grass and began to fulfill his captain's responsibilities
"Cheer up, everyone, the game has just started, we still have a chance"
"There is a long way to go, don't lose heart, we will definitely score again in the second half!"
As the game resumed, encouraged by captain Morgan, the players of Leicester City regained their fighting spirit.
After they kicked off in the center circle, they focused on stability. The ball was passed again and again in their own half, and multiple passes and cooperation kept the ball firmly under their feet.
Before the end of the first half, Leicester City did not organize any more attacks.
In the end, the first half ended in a 1-1 draw, and the referee blew the halftime whistle.
From the emotions of the players of both teams, it can be seen that both sides were not very satisfied with the score.
In this atmosphere of dissatisfaction, the players of both teams returned to the locker room.
In the locker room, Leicester City head coach Pearson looked at the players and said,"You performed well in the first half, especially the new aid Li Lei and Vardy, who cooperated well."
"But we also exposed our problems, and the opponent took advantage of our slackness caused by the goal to equalize the score"
"So I have two things to note."
"First, stay focused. Don't relax just because you are ahead by one goal. You must maintain your highest level for the entire 90 minutes."
"Second, strengthen coordination. When attacking, the front players should run more to create space for their teammates. The back line should maintain linkage and be organized in the penalty area."
"Keep the confidence! We will win in the second half."
"Fight as a team and get three points for the fans!"
"Yes, Boss."
After arranging the tactics for the second half, Coach Pearson went out.
After Coach Pearson left, only the players were left in the locker room.
"Brother, our tacit understanding needs to be improved. I feel that our offense is not coherent enough. Please say something!"Vardy said to Li Lei.
"Too tired! Don't want to talk"
"But you are right, we do need to run more and create space for the opponent."
"I noticed that in the first half, there were several times when both of them stopped in the penalty area, which made it easy for the opponent's defense to mark them and they couldn't get too close."
"Then we can do this, when attacking, I will break through from the wing first, you quickly get into the middle, and I can pass the ball to you sideways."
