Chapter 59: Confrontation
Shakespeare is not a person who does not know how to advance and retreat, in the face of this situation on the field, he can only defend steadily, without a solid defense, how can he attack with confidence?
Taking advantage of a dead ball, Shakespeare called Maguire to the sidelines and gave him the task of defending, and Maguire, who got the task, loudly reminded the players on the field to pay attention to the position of the defense, and told them to focus on defense and counterattack.
Defending and counterattacking, defense is the center of gravity, counterattacking is the essence, and in the current situation of Leicester City, it would be good not to concede a goal.
Shakespeare was also helpless to see such a scene off the field, Chelsea's players were as excited as playing chicken blood, their own players can't say that they don't work hard, but when they encounter such a reckless and crazy opponent, it's good to be able to hold on to the ball so far, and I don't know what happened to Chelsea today.
I can only hope that the team can hold on until the end of the half, and then make adjustments at half-time after the defense is successful, I don't believe you played so hard in the first half, and you can still be so energetic in the second half.
Jones sat on the bench and watched his teammates attack, he was very energetic for the team, he couldn't wait for himself to go on and score a few goals, he stood up and walked back and forth on the bench, but the coach didn't look at him at all, Shakespeare was really afraid of something, just reminded the players to pay attention to the defense, and the Chelsea attack over there scored.
Chelsea cut off Leicester City's pass, and then handed the ball to Fabregas, after Fabregas got the ball, the whole team began to press forward to attack, all the players were desperately forward, the two fullbacks were instantly pressed near the halfway, after the ball broke Chelsea quickly launched an attack, Leicester City players woke up like a dream at this time, one by one desperately returned to their defensive position, but the strength of Chelsea's players was a notch higher than them.
The defending Leicester players struggled to defend for a while, the ball was much faster than a man, and from the moment the ball was broken to the time Chelsea scored, Chelsea only needed two feet to send the ball to the edge of the box.
At this point, Leicester's players came back to defend, Vardy joined the defence, and as far as the eye could see, a blue storm pressed over, like a raging wave, ready to swallow them at any moment.
"Cesc Fabregas! Accurate long pass, he handed the ball to Pedro in front, Segura in front, received Pedro's pass, and now the right side is a thoroughfare, let Segura break through, he goes down this side of the road! Maguire rushed up, it looked like he didn't want to be forced into the box like this, Pedro pulled to the top of the box, Segura didn't choose to go it alone, he played a long ball to Pedro, and Leicester's defence was torn apart in this instant. ”
"Cesc Fabregas, Segura and Pedro combined to bring this goal, Segura who received Fabregas's pass broke through and passed Pedro, who made a wonderful leap to head the goal, Schmeichel Jr. could not do anything about the goal, and Leicester City, who had held on for 33 minutes, was finally torn open."
"Pedro! He breached the Leicester goal, Pedro's first goal of the season in all competitions! He has been on the bench this season, and he has been pressed on the bench by Jones and Costa in the forward position, Costa and Jones are on the bench in this game, and his performance in this game deserves this goal, Segura's pass is also very exciting, Chelsea's relentless attack has finally paid off, wonderful performance! Beautiful goal! The narrator is passionately venting his feelings.
Seeing this goal, Kodic also breathed a sigh of relief, rushed out of the coach's seat excitedly, waved his hand vigorously, and won this game.
Pedro sprinted into the Chelsea die-hard fandom area, his hands raised again and again, and as his arms danced, the cheers of the fans in the stands grew louder and louder, chanting the hero's name over and over again, venting his frustration at a long-term lack of goal.
"Pedro is also very excited about this goal, he has been pressed on the bench this season, if Costa left, he would be the main force, but Costa didn't go, and another Jones, and Segura, Segura is okay, Jones is in the main position as soon as he comes, he is estimated to have been very depressed, this goal finally made him have the heart to earn the main force and live."
"On the other hand, Leicester City, the players are all tightening their lips, the game started much worse than they imagined, this goal has increased the pressure in their hearts a lot, I really don't know if they can resist."
"Really, give me an attack." Shakespeare shouted loudly, turned around and returned to the coach's box, at this moment, he decided not to play defensive counterattack, but to attack! If you win Chelsea with attack, you will lose defensively, so it is better to attack happily.
'The big screen was still playing back on the Chelsea goal, and it took only two passes from midfield for Chelsea to send the ball into the Leicester goal, which was a brilliant combination.
"Oh! It's a yellow handicap, it's no problem, Ndidi did foul this time, and Leicester City's defense after the goal was a lot fiercer. ”
Taking advantage of the kick-off, Shakespeare yelled into the arena: "What are you doing! Look at what you guys look like! We've just conceded a goal, we haven't lost the game yet! Have you forgotten what I said to you? Attack me from now on and score goals with your attack"
With Shakespeare's voice on the field, his roar clearly entered the ears of every Leicester City player, and the players who had been pressed and played for a long time felt a surge of blood on their heads, didn't they score a goal, we are also a team that has won the Premier League championship, how can we give up in the first half, Leicester City's momentum is raised at this moment.
"After the restart, the spirit of the Leicester City players has changed a lot, and the attack has gradually improved, at least it will not be like before the goal was conceded by Chelsea in their own half and have no power to fight back, in the second half of the first half of the game, the two sides are very happy to attack back and forth, here Chelsea's long-range shot, that side of Leicester City will break through the attack, the fast pace and the speed of the transition between attack and defense also make the voices of the fans have been exclaiming."
With Leicester City being too hard to start the game, it was Chelsea who had the upper hand overall.
As the tempo picked up, time seemed to get faster, and just as the fans were immersed in the exciting attack, Clattenburg blew the whistle at the end of the half in a shameless manner, making the fans who were immersed in the game say that they were not enjoying it yet.
'The whistle blew at half-time and the Leicester players left the pitch in a hurry, obviously unhappy with their performance, although they fought back after scoring a goal, but they didn't score an equaliser in the first half, and Leicester City didn't play well in the second half.
