Genius one second to remember the address of this site: (vertex Chinese)., the fastest update! No ads!
Coventry kick-off!
The physical disadvantage of the Coventry players was evident at this point. Leicester City's Vardy, Shinji Okazaki, and Riyad Mahrez in the front field can easily eat any Coventry player raw with speed at this time!
Leicester City's morale was boosted after the goal, and the attack was even higher and higher. At this time, Leicester City was like a hammer, firmly holding Coventry City in their own half.
After Vardy proved himself by scoring a goal, he didn't seem to play any more solitary roles, sending second passes to Shinji Okazaki and Mahrez on many occasions.
The players on Coventry's side, although a little physically exhausted, gritted their teeth and insisted on defending. Sacrificing oneself in the box seems to have become a common occurrence for Coventry's players.
As the minutes ticked by, it was the 75th minute of the game.
Ranieri glanced at his watch, a little anxious. Although the team went crazy and attacked, the tenacious Coventry never gave the team another chance to score.
According to the FA Cup format, if the two sides draw within 90 minutes, there will be no extra time, but a replay. If they can't win Coventry at Ricoh Stadium, Leicester City will have to return to the King Power Stadium to play Coventry City at home.
There has not been a precedent for a Premier League team in nearly a decade to use two games to knock out League Two weakers in the FA Cup! At that point, losing the team's face is secondary, and seriously weakening the confidence of the players is the main thing!
Just when Ranieri was worried about whether this game would be drawn in 90 minutes, the situation on the pitch changed suddenly!
Ruan confiscates the ball! He didn't just blindly drive big! For Coventry, every attacking opportunity doesn't come easily.
He flicked the ball to a defender, who dribbled the ball and Jamie Vardy stepped forward to press it. In desperation, he passed the ball diagonally to the midfielder on the wing. Coventry's midfielder took a few steps forward and passed the ball to Alexander near the centre circle.
Riyad Mahrez pressed closely. He stuck Alexander firmly with his body.
Alexander's physical fitness has declined severely, and he is dominated by Mahresca, and it is a dead end to go forward!
In desperation, he saw Liu Yun in the direction of 45 degrees!
Decisively get up and pass the ball to Liu Yun!
time!
In front of Liu Yun is the defender Kante, who is known to be no less capable of intercepting than Makelele!
Liu Yun glanced at the goal, which was 40 meters away from him. If you want to get the ball in front of the gate, you have to go over the mountain of Kante!
In the first half, Liu Yun had a chance to face Kante alone. He made a cowtail, but Kante didn't eat his feint!
Liu Yun had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly remembered a sentence in the Chinese Art of War: "The way of the art of war, true and false, false and real!" ”
Liu Yun took the ball to Kante again.
Liu Yun leaned forward in an instant, looking like he was about to dribble to Kante's right side.
Kante was happy: "Do you want to play with oxtail again?" Make a feint to dribble to the right and then break through from the left? I'm sorry, but I don't really don't eat this. ”
Kante was unmoved. However, Liu Yun's next move surprised Kanter.
Liu Yun's left foot went to the right side of Kante, and he really chose to break through from Kante's right side!
This is not a cow's tail! It's just a simple breakthrough!
People are sometimes like this, looking at simple things as complicated, but it can be counterproductive. Kante is guilty of that now. In his heart, Liu Yun is like an acrobat on a football field. Acrobats must perform some fancy moves. However, Liu Yun chose the simplest breakthrough move, which Kante did not expect.
Liu Yun took the ball forward and scored seven or eight meters, only more than 30 meters away from the goal!
His side actually appeared - Shinji Okazaki! Shinji Okazaki, a striker, is a notoriously physical player. He often runs back to his own half to participate in the defense.
Liu Yun knew in his heart that with his speed, he would definitely be caught up by Shinji Okazaki and help the position. He opted to pass the ball to Manla on the right side of the front!
After Manla got the ball, he faced Leicester City's backfield - Morgan.
Manla was still a little stunned when she faced Morgan. He hesitated. It was this hesitation that immediately buried a good opportunity for Coventry. The Leicester players were quick to return and had already taken up positions inside and outside the penalty area, putting up a defensive formation!
Manla had no choice but to hand the ball to Liu Yun at the edge of the penalty area again.
Liu Yun pulled the ball horizontally, looking for a chance to break through.
Leicester City captain Morgan is like a little deflated (cow) calf, rushing towards Liu Yun with the momentum of Mount Tai!
When Chinese people were in junior high school, they had to learn dialectical materialism in political class. The essence of dialectical materialism is that everything has two sides.
A strong body is Morgan's greatest strength, but it is also his weakness! The inevitable result of a strong body is a slower turn! When Liu Yun did his homework before the game, he knew that Morgan's turning speed had been criticized by fans!
Liu Yun stepped on the ball and dribbled the ball to the left side with a gentle pull on the sole of his foot.
Morgan thought Liu was going to pass the ball to Manla on the left. He handed over his center of gravity to the left. Liu Yun suddenly pulled the ball back with the sole of his foot, allowing the ball to get as close to him as possible. Then he gently knocked the inside of the arch of his foot to the right of the ball, completing the change of direction breakthrough!
Puskas V-Pull Ball!
Morgan's center of gravity was already on the left side, and when he saw Liu Yun breaking through to the right, he was anxious and took a step to the right, but because the center of gravity was on the left, he lost his balance!
Morgan was shaken down by Liu Yun's Puskas ball!
Huang Jianxiang in the commentary seat was excited again: "The defending champion of the Premier League, the captain of the Champions League quarterfinals, and the main central defender Morgan was shaken down by a 45-year-old striker of an English Second team!" Uncle Liu Yun is so good! ”
Ranieri gasped off the pitch.
Old George stood up from the coach's seat and stared at Liu Yun tightly! This could be a chance to get ahead of Leicester City again!
Liu Yun has broken into the forbidden area! Leicester City defender Benaruane sliding from the side. Liu Yun picks the ball! The moment he picked up the ball, he jumped with his feet and avoided the sliding tackle.
At this time, Liu Yun was already in the penalty area 20 meters away from the goal, and was at a 45-degree angle to the left of the goal!
Decisive kick-in-range shot!
Goalkeeper Schmeichel struggled to save, but the shot was too close and too tricky. Schmeichel could only watch the ball fly into the top right corner of the goal!
2:1! League Two side Coventry City are once again ahead of the Champions League quarter-finals and reigning Premier League champions Leicester City!
"Yay~~~~~~" Coventry fans are like a powder keg. Liu Yun lit the fuse of the powder keg, and the enthusiasm of the fans exploded!
Neither manager could believe it was true.
Ranieri can't believe that his dignified defending Premier League champion will be overtaken by the League Two underdogs again! You know, he has taken this game seriously enough and sent all the main forces! Generally speaking, in this kind of FA Cup game against a weak team, the Premier League team will send their own substitute lineup or even second-tier team players!
You know, just 1 minute ago, Ranieri was still worried about whether the team would be forced to draw by the opponent and return to the King Power Stadium for a replay. Now he has to worry not about a draw, but about a loss!
Old George couldn't believe it was true! My team is just a second division team! Twice ahead of the reigning Premier League champions? It's incredible! Could it be that God really sent down a miracle at Ricoh Stadium? Mobile phone users should browse and read for a better reading experience.
