Chapter 442: FA Cup 1/4 Finals

In the following minutes, although Chelsea wanted to counterattack, but Leicester City's players, under the leadership of Ndidi, launched a crazy chase and interception of Chelsea, and Chelsea had no chance to attack for a while, and for a full 10 minutes, Chelsea did not hit the goal, and even most of the time was pressed by Leicester City in their own half.

However, for this situation, Kodic on the sidelines is not worried, after all, the strength of the two sides is there, and after Leicester City's explosive form passes, the rhythm of the game will naturally return to his team.

As Kodic expected, the game time came to 15 minutes, and after this period of madness, Leicester City began to be unable to follow, and the long period of crazy attacking led to a rapid decline in the physical fitness of Leicester City's players, and the rhythm of the game gradually returned to the feet of Chelsea.

In the 19th minute, Chelsea had their first shot on goal, from Costa, who returned to the main line-up for this game, and Jones, who has a good relationship with Costa, naturally had to pass a few passes for him.

Jones once again held the ball into Leicester's half, Mahrez and Iborra came up to flick Jones, Jones did not give them a chance, Jones suddenly accelerated, and rushed directly through the gap between the two before the two could form a trap, and then went straight into the box.

Costa got the ball and turned straight to the goal, Costa's shot was a bit sudden, Schmeichel didn't react when Costa shot, but Leicester were lucky, Costa's shot hit the same post as Iheanacho's.

A few minutes later, Chelsea had a second shot on goal, Schmeichel headed in a goal-scoring kick and N'Golo Kante scrambled over Ndidi as the ball flew into the centre circle into the Chelsea half, where N'Golo Ndidi scrambled.

In the end, Kante used his excellent experience to kick the football back into the Leicester City half from the front of Ndidi, Jones unloaded the ball with his back to Mahrez, and then turned and squeezed away the Leicester midfield, and the action was quite beautiful.

At this time, Simpson came out from the side and put his foot directly on Jones, Chelsea won a free-kick in front, and Simpson also received a topaz god of war card from referee Paulson.

Jones stood directly in front of the free-kick, and because it was too far away, Jones went straight to the goal with a super hard shot, and the ball flew quickly through the crowd and flew towards the Leicester goal.

Schmeichel Jr. did not catch the ball with his hands, but blocked the ball with his fist as Chelsea were awarded the first corner of the game.

Chelsea's corner kick first point naturally found Costa, and finally Costa grabbed the first landing point, but unfortunately the football was pushed by him Maguire Although his body was not as strong as Costa, and his header was not excellent, he directly chose to give up the scramble in the face of Costa, but he just stood up to Costa and did not let him Costa easily get the ball.

In the 27th minute of the game, Chelsea's attack, N'Golo Kante inserted an assist, Bakayoko split the ball on the side, Jones passed back to Kante outside the left penalty area, Kante immediately rushed into the penalty area, and immediately sent the football into the penalty area after taking two steps, Costa and Schmeichel Jr. scrambled, and finally Schmeichel Jr. blasted the ball out directly.

Leicester played a brilliant counter-attack, Maguire passed to Iborra, Iborra sent another foot to Ndididi's feet, Bakayoko desperately chased back, and finally caught up with Ndidi outside the box and put Ndidi in the scramble.

Not surprisingly, referee Pawson showed Bakayoko a yellow card, but that wasn't the end of the story, as Ndidi chose to take the penalty himself for Leicester's subsequent free-kick.

Leicester broke the deadlock on the pitch when Leicester won a free-kick and Ndidi chose to take the penalty but he chose to shoot directly and Caballero touched the ball but did not stop it from flying into his own goal.

With Chelsea in control, Leicester City unexpectedly took the lead in breaking the deadlock, Ndidi, the most active player in Leicester City, opposite Chelsea, Ndidi, who was the most effective in defense, shot hard with a free kick to complete the good start of leading Chelsea at home!

But this is not enough to beat Chelsea, you know, now Chelsea have not tasted defeat on all fronts this season, Leicester City should not be the team to end Chelsea's unbeaten run, but this is a football game, and it may not be impossible, so let's wait and see in the next games! ”

The game soon restarted, and Chelsea launched a more fierce attack than before, especially Bakayoko, because of one of his own fouls to create the opponent lead, so in the following time, Bakayoko became the initiator of Chelsea's midfield attack, and Bakayoko did perform well, but luck did not seem to be on Chelsea's side in the first half.

In the minutes leading to the end of the first half, Chelsea had three shots on goal, namely Eden Hazard, N'Golo Kante and Tiemoue Bakayoko himself, but they were just a little bit of luck.

In the first half of stoppage time, Chelsea's final attack, Hazard received a pass from Bakayoko and shook off Chilwell, but before Hazard could hit the goal, Albrighton piled it up from behind, and Pawson was just blocked by the player, did not see Albrighton's foul, Chelsea missed the chance to equalize at the end of the first half.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the Leicester fans cheered.

The team walked into the dressing room with a goal lead and Leicester's players marched into the tunnel with their heads held high and cheered on by the fans.

The Chelsea players headed back to the dressing room, and the first half of the game left the self-respecting pros feeling humiliated and angry.

In the home team's dressing room, Leicester City's players encouraged and praised each other, especially Ndidi, who scored the goal.

"Well done, Ndidi!"

"You scored a beautiful free-kick!" Everyone congratulated Ndidi.

Ndidi was delighted with the treatment he had received, as he had worked hard to achieve it, and because of the morale of the Leicester side for the goal.

………………

Kodic in the visiting dressing room wasn't too angry at the goal, but there was still room for it.

"That's not how we went into halftime, you guys should do better!" Choric stood in the centre of the dressing room, where the Chelsea players sat on the bench and listened to the head coach as they swapped out their sweat-soaked shirts.

"It's my responsibility." Bakayoko stood up and said: "It was my defensive misjudgment that gave them the chance to score. ”

After waving Bakayoko to sit down, Kodic continued: "It's not a big deal to score a goal against the opponent, in fact we should have scored two, three in the first half and won the game completely.

The tactics of the second half remained the same, we continued to attack with all our might, and we faced the same goal in every game, which was to win! With a wave of his hand, Kodic ended the lecture.
