Chapter 340: Don't give Leicester City a chance
In the second half, I want you to do something very simple! If they want to go crazy, we have to be more crazy than they are! There was no chance for you to relax and be lazy in the second half! Chelsea have to attack and we have to attack too!
Push their offense back to me! Let their fighting spirit fade little by little in the passage of time! I don't think you want to make me depressed! So, show your fighting spirit! Have a big run at Stamford Bridge! In the second half, we left an impressive forty-five minutes for the fans here! ”
The second half of the game started with a fierce confrontation between the players of the two teams!
………………………………
"Oh! Maguire shoveled Jones as soon as he came up, what's wrong? It seems that both teams are a little angry, it stands to reason that the Chelsea players are angry, and their midfielders must have been criticized by the coach, but why is Leicester City so angry? The narrator looked puzzled.
On the Leicester City bench, Pierre waved excitedly! If you keep doing this, maybe you can win, but Pierre thinks too much because it's impossible.
'We're attacking aggressively but Chelsea haven't let up in the slightest...... assistant coach Appleton said.
Pierre gave him a blank look, isn't this nonsense? How could you not see it yourself! However, how did Kodic manage to make his players so solid after conceding two goals in a row?
On the pitch, the two sides began the battle from midfield, with Gray coming on for Ndidi to give Jamie Vardy free to attack, but at the same time, Leicester's backline was devastated by Chelsea's swift counter-attacks.
Now the two full-backs are Leicester's soft underbelly! Albrighton is barely enough, James is simply a colander, and has been passed by Hazard again and again! Leicester's defensive intensity plummeted.
The two teams went back and forth, with Cordic replacing the exhausted Eden Hazard with Perez in the 66th minute as Chelsea stepped up their attack.
If you want to attack, I will defend it! Pierre replaced James with Hut, although the absence of Ndidi made Leicester City's counterattack weaker, but Hut's play strengthened the defensive intensity, and after the offense and defense offset each other, Leicester City was not completely at a disadvantage, but was a little passive on the field.
However, the mood of the Chelsea players is much more impatient, they know that time waits for no one, and if Chelsea can't score a goal as soon as possible, then the chances of winning will become smaller and smaller!
Chelsea went on a frantic press, looking more ferocious and brutal, with Jones returning to the midfield position when the team brought on Perez, who moved to the left winger.
Jones knew that Perez's individual performance should be fine, the key is to cooperate with his teammates, maybe it will be affected, Jones has to slow down the pace a little and give Perez time to adapt to the game.
Originally, the number of attacking groups in the front field was one less, if one less person and then another person was integrated, then the effect would be very unsatisfactory, in the 70th minute, Jones began to cooperate with Perez frequently, but also to help him enter the game, Perez's play is still good, one of which completed two long-range shots outside the penalty area in succession, one of which also tested Schmeichel.
In the 75th minute of the game, Leicester City organized a fast attack, Shinji Okazaki was successfully tackled by Kante just past the midfield, Chelsea suddenly launched a counterattack, and on the side Perez rushed forward, this is simply the most classic counterattack, but also the style of the British field, fast pace, play the speed of the side, combined with the impact of the side.
Perez used his speed to eat Mahrez, who was always wary of the opponent's inside cut and put on the outside, and in the eyes of the Leicester players, Perez's threat from the outside is very low.
But Perez's bottom cross this time sent a good ball that couldn't be better! His push was attacking with depth, the ball bypassed Leicester defender Amartey when he crossed it, and Huter and Gray were very uncomfortable in the retreat, they faced their own goal, and if they flew to head the ball clear, they could create an own goal!
In such a situation, they hesitated to go to the top of the ball, and the ball went around in front of the two, and in the middle of Maguire and Dragovic, Costa headed home!
He almost stepped on the line of the six-yard box with a header on the goal, and it was a must-kill chance! There was a sigh from the stands at Stamford Bridge! I didn't expect Schmeichel to block Costa's header!
This is because Costa did not control the angle, the header was too square, and it was directly aimed at Schmeichel, but the distance was too close, Schmeichel couldn't hold the football, he just subconsciously blocked it with both hands.
The football bounced back, and everyone was shocked, and a figure emerged from Leicester City's dense defensive area, jumped high, and once again headed the goal, and the football flew into the bottom right corner of the goal! Bakayoko then celebrated with a wild run and Chelsea scored again!
Leicester defenders seemed helpless, being hit by a sudden wave of counterattacks, and chaos in the penalty area, after a series of accidents, it may be inevitable to be embarrassed.
'Tiemoue Bakayoko scored a goal for Chelsea! 3-2, Chelsea took the lead again, Leicester City conceded this goal without saying anything, they had their own problems, the midfield conceded a goal, this is a big taboo! ”
Pierre gestured to the field, which meant to tell the attacking players in the stadium to avoid changing positions, at least in the midfield, Gray should be fixed here, Gray's ability to control the ball, the ability to protect the ball, and the skill of ensuring the ball, at least will not let Leicester City fall into the dangerous situation of being suddenly counterattacked.
Abu's face in the VIP box finally looked a little better, at least now that the score still gives Chelsea a four-point advantage, and the hope of defending champions is still very promising.
After Chelsea took a one-goal lead, the team as a whole was much more stable, Jones no longer tried to switch positions with Perez, he fixed in the midfield area to organize the work, and then Leicester City's attack was booming, from the 82nd minute, Chelsea's conservative attitude allowed Leicester City to offload more defensive tasks and be more involved in attacking!
Jones gestured to his team-mates up front to keep them steady, and Chelsea didn't need to be in a hurry now, and in the 86th minute, Cesc Fabregas stepped forward to link up with Perez on the left flank.
Maguire was alone and was teased by the two, and when Dragovic came to help, Perez decisively passed the ball to Costa who retreated outside the box, and then he took the initiative to run sideways and form a link with Costa in front of the box.
Ben Chilwell had to shrink the middle to return to the defense, Costa crossed the ball to Alonso, and Chelsea's attack from left to right, but did not develop into the Leicester penalty area, which made the Leicester players frightened, almost crazy!
Alonso took a step back when he was in possession of the ball, observing the situation of both attacking and defending sides, and this wave of possession in front of the box has caused Leicester City to lose space in the midfield area in front of the penalty area, and they are mostly compressed in the box and near the penalty line.
Alonso gently crossed the ball diagonally, and in that large open area, Jones rushed up unmarked, he received Alonso's comfortable pass, flicked the ball diagonally to about 30 yards from goal, and fired a fierce shot from the right side of the field!
