Chapter 339: Kodic's Roar
At this time, Vardy can also try to go to the middle, in the position of the midfield, from the middle, but the problem is that if he goes to the middle, then his teammates will have no place to play, and he can't do it easily without enough certainty.
However, thanks to Vardy's efforts, the match between Leicester City and Chelsea began to produce a clear gap on the field.
Leicester's advantage on the pitch is becoming more and more obvious, although Chelsea are strong on paper, but Chelsea's attack is now too predictable, and there is a lack of unexpected changes, which makes Leicester City not panic in defence.
However, Chelsea's individual strength was still strong and Chelsea were able to play a dangerous attack in the inevitable one-on-one, and in the 40th minute, Jones' cross from the left was headed wide by Eden Hazard, and Costa flicked an angle in front of Maguire and pushed it wide.
Three minutes later, Leicester also started a counter-attack, with Riyad Mahrez dominating the ball on the edge and playing the ball to Ndidi, who fired a direct long-range shot that narrowly missed Courtois's goal, and Leicester had no intention of slowing down the pace as the first half drew to a close.
In the 44th minute of the game, Dragovic played the ball at the back, Vardy turned his back to Cesc Fabregas in the midfield and crossed the ball directly, Chilwell attacked on the wing, Vardy ran forward along the middle, and Shinji Okazaki's pressure forced Kante to help defend the wing, which gave Vardy more space to get the ball in the middle.
Chilwell handed the ball to Vardy, and before Cesc Fabregas could press it, Vardy suddenly picked up the ball and slashed it diagonally over the top to the left of the penalty area, Albrighton cut around Bakayoko and cut into the bottom of the box, and he didn't stop the ball before the bottom line, and swept the ball directly into the middle of the goal.
The ball he passed vigorously, like a shot, Vardy, who followed up in the middle, was closely defended by Cahill, did not touch the football at all, even the goalkeeper Courtois failed to touch the football, at the back point, Rudiger tried his best to block the back point of the goal, but it was still Mahrez in the penalty area at the back post, and kicked the ball into the empty goal with his left foot!
The fans of Leicester City away are now going crazy with excitement! They were saddened by the opening two goals behind Chelsea, who did not expect to equalise before half-time.
The players on the pitch quickly ran to Mahrez's side, they hugged each other and screamed at each other to celebrate their second goal!
'Riyad Mahrez equalised for Leicester! Just before half-time, Chelsea missed again and now the score is 2-2! It's time for Chelsea manager Jonathan Kodic to figure out how to compare Chelsea's current attacking play with Leicester's.
Chelsea seem to be the same, Leicester City are constantly changing, no matter what Chelsea's defensive posture is, Vardy is always able to connect with his team-mates, and they work together so well! ”
Chelsea now have a characteristic power impact in England, a quick attack on the flanks, but they have not created a situation that Leicester City cannot parry! Abu's good face in the VIP box finally became ugly, he looked at the big screen, looking at the Leicester City fans celebrating wildly in the stadium, how could he be in a good mood!
The first half ended with a 2-2 draw for Chelsea at Leicester City.
Vardy and his team-mates high-fived hard before leaving the pitch, they didn't look at the Chelsea players again, they still walked to the tunnel with their heads held high, the Chelsea players were a little dazed, they didn't expect Leicester City to be so tenacious, two goals behind to equalise, Kodic on the sidelines also understood the reason for the equaliser, that is, Chelsea's game this season is too smooth.
The players didn't stand up to much of a test at all! In such a situation, Chelsea's adaptability is insufficient, Cahill is experienced, but after all, he is only one person, he has the confidence to limit Vardy one-on-one, but he can't limit the whole Leicester team!
Probably no one knows that Leicester City, who were on the verge of falling apart in the summer, have stumbled along the way, and Leicester City, who have stood up strong after the setback, have reached their strongest form after this game!
………………………………
Chelsea's dressing room: 'How did you play in the first half!?? I'm asking you! How did you guys play in the first half!! You've got Leicester City two! Two! Don't use exhaustion as an excuse!
We played Leicester City, not Manchester City or Manchester United! How can you make the Leicester fans so proud at our home stadium!
Azpilicueta, were you and Rudiger sleepwalking in the first half? Don't tell me you're helpless against Vardy! Don't you use your brains? Knowing that he is the most dangerous person in Leicester City, how can he be allowed to receive the ball so easily? And Kante, what do you think of Albrighton, you actually let him send the ball to Mahrez!
For the first time this season, we were equalised after leading by two goals in the first half! And it's still our home turf! Costa! Don't tell me you went to a nightclub yesterday, why are your legs so soft? I don't know what you're playing with! It's the brain and the feet!
How can you ignore Leicester's counter-attack? Well, I'm not going to talk about it now! In the second half, you guys give me a stronger attack! Jones, I want you to use your speed to eat that Albrighton for me!
Cesc Fabregas, Eden Hazard, you have to not only attack, but also defend, you have to build an iron wall for me in midfield with N'Golo Kante, don't let Leicester score so easily!
This game is lost, and if Manchester City wins, then they are only one point behind us! 4 points and 1 point are very different! This will make Manchester City bite us! Remember, I don't want to see a miserable defeat at home! The devil knows what the newspapers will say tomorrow! Hell, you guys played so badly in the first half! Whoever wants to paddle in the second half, I'll replace him! ”
It was the first time that Kodic had made such a big fuss in front of a player, and Kodic's roar made all the Chelsea players breathe a sigh of relief! One breath of life! It's a shame to be scolded by the head coach like this!
And it's really their fault, football players have a lot of self-esteem! Not to mention this pile of big names from Chelsea? How could they endure being scolded like this? Is it tolerable or unbearable! All the Chelsea players are gearing up for the second half to begin!
There is no doubt that Kodic knows that it can't all be left to the player's temperament, and Kodic's anger this time has boosted the morale of the Chelsea players.
……………………………………
Leicester's dressing room was much more harmonious, with Pierre smiling at the players, "You guys were doing well, but your expressions tell me you're starting to slack off now!" Now it's just an equalizer, and we haven't won yet!
Did you know that Kodic must be yelling at the Chelsea players in the dressing room right now? Don't feel lucky, though! Because you're not lucky at all! Because in the second half, you're going to be under an onslaught like never before by Chelsea, do you think Chelsea are going to let us just take the three points?
