Chapter 177: Keep fighting
Leicester City scored the first goal, and the home fans cheered.
Today, the King Power Stadium was very lively, and countless fans were holding back their energy, looking forward to Leicester City regaining the feeling of winning.
If they can't win this game, then they will be completely out of the Europa League knockout stage.
It feels great to score a goal just after the start!
After taking the lead, Leicester City did not hide, they continued to attack.
Especially on the front line, Chris Wood, who had just scored, was very active in running and looking for opportunities in the penalty area.
And Ulloa, with his strong body and excellent rebound, stirred up chaos in the defense of Salzburg Red Bull.
In the 14th minute of the game, Mahrez kicked the ball outside the penalty area, and the ball hit the post and bounced out of the bottom line.
Almost.
Although there was no goal, Leicester City was in high spirits.
They were obviously in excellent form.
Although Salzburg Red Bull occasionally played high-quality counterattacks, they were quickly extinguished.
Especially their new trident, it was obvious that the cooperation was not tacit enough.
Sabitzer has excellent personal ability, but his coordination with Naby Keita and Soriano is insufficient.
And he is responsible for connecting between the two, which makes the trident ineffective.
In the 37th minute of the first half, Leicester City launched another wonderful fast break.
This time, the midfielder of Red Bull Salzburg lost the ball, and Xia Xing tackled Sabitzer and got the ball.
Decisive diagonal pass, looking for Mahrez!
Then sprint quickly!
And Mahrez did not stick to the ball. He saw Xia Xing coming up, protected the ball and waited for Xia Xing to arrive, and decisively knocked it horizontally!
The temper fell on Xia Xing's feet again!
Xia Xing received the ball and dribbled directly diagonally!
Passed the defensive player who was rushing up!
From the left position, passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area!
This pass passed between two defenders!
Ulloa received the ball accurately!
After a slight adjustment, he kicked and shot!
The ball went straight into the dead corner!
The ball went in!
2-0!
Leicester City led by two goals!
The home fans in the stands cheered excitedly!
They have seen the result of the team getting three points!
At the end of the first half, Leicester City led 2-0.
However, the situation on the field changed just after the second half began.
Salzburg Red Bull made position adjustments, and Naby Keita and Sabitzer exchanged positions.
Now Sabitzer retreated to pass and organize, and Naby Keita was responsible for linking and forward insertion.
In this way, the situation on the field of Salzburg Red Bull changed quickly.
Especially the front trident, it seemed as if three people had been replaced.
Especially Naby Keita, although he was thin, but with his excellent skills and passing, he was still better than Sabitzer's linking performance just now.
In the 57th minute of the game, Naby Keita's exquisite short pass accurately found Soriano who was advancing.
Soriano suddenly shot a cold arrow on the penalty area line!
The ball stuck to the grass and flew quickly into the lower right corner of the net!
The ball was so fast that Schmeichel had no choice!
2-1!
Red Bull Salzburg scored a goal!
The team lost the ball, and the Leicester City players were a little anxious.
They were also a little impatient emotionally.
And this was not the worst. The worst was that they began to show signs of physical decline.
Especially several midfielders, whose speed was obviously insufficient and they could not press forward.
This was the trouble caused by two games in a week.
Leicester City did not have a deep enough bench, and their main players were too tired.
But what could they do?
After all, the league and the Europa League were both important, so they could only persist.
In the 70th minute of the game, Pearson had already used up three substitutions.
Although there were some remedies, Leicester City still could not attack as fiercely as in the opening stage.
Especially Mahrez, who could no longer rush up with the ball alone.
Pearson still kept him on the field because there was really no suitable player.
After all, a pillar had to be left in front, especially to ensure that the trident was on the field to ensure the stability of the tactical structure.
In the 79th minute of the game, the scene that Pearson didn't want to see finally came.
Naby Keita dribbled the ball in the midfield and attracted Leicester City's defense.
At this moment, Sabitzer suddenly moved forward!
This change made Leicester City's midfielder miss a bit!
Xia Xing followed Naby Keita closely, and it was too late to help Sabitzer!
Sabitzer accelerated with the ball and rushed through Leicester City's midfield defense!
30 meters away from the goal, he kicked the ball directly!
The ball carried a strong arc and rotated straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
Schmeichel tried his best to jump up, but the ball still passed through his fingertips...
The ball went in!
2 to 2!
In the live broadcast, the excited Austrian commentator shouted loudly!
"The ball went in!
"The ball went in! ! ! !
"Our players are simply great!
"With ten minutes left in the game,
"We stubbornly equalized the score!
"Perfect goal, perfect cooperation!
"Although Alan is about to leave the team, Sabitzer has perfectly replaced him!
"This game is the first time the new trident has been together,
"but the effect is excellent!
"Even Leicester City, which has been in great form in the Premier League this season,
"cannot continue its dark horse status in the Europa League!
"In the game that ended yesterday, Wolfsburg was unexpectedly tied by Krasnodar!
"His points only became 6 points!
"That is to say, as long as we can draw this game,
"Then we will most likely rely on the advantage of goal difference to get the first place in the group!
"Europa League knockout, here we come!"
Compared with the excited Austrian commentator, Alan Shearer was not in a good mood in the live broadcast room of Sky TV.
After all, it was the English club that was at a disadvantage, and he must be in a bad mood.
"Now Leicester City's overall physical fitness has declined seriously, and it has been tied by the opponent. It will be difficult to play next..."
Indeed, Leicester City is in a lot of trouble now.
Now they are hovering between qualifying and elimination.
Maybe just a distraction, or an opportunity, the situation is completely different.
So, in this game, they have to continue to fight hard!
With a significant decline in physical fitness, the number of Leicester City's opportunities will definitely decrease significantly.
So, they must seize the opportunity and improve the quality of attack!
In the 83rd minute of the game, during a wing attack by Salzburg Red Bull, Sabitzer's cross accurately found Soriano.
Soriano heads the ball into the goal!
Schmeichel punches it out with both fists!
This time the Danish goalkeeper performs very well!
In the 86th minute of the game, Sabitzer advances from the middle again.
After attracting the attention of Xia Xing's defense, he suddenly knocks it sideways!
Naby Keita directly kicks a long shot!
The ball goes straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
Schmeichel stretches his body and takes the ball steadily!
He keeps the goal intact again!
Now the game is getting closer and closer to the end.
The physical fitness of the Leicester City players has also reached the critical point...
