Chapter 67: Tempering the Three Steps of Attack and Defense - Ping Fulham
In order for a team to do well in the competitive Premier League, it must achieve a balance between attack and defence, otherwise when the team's tactical arrangement goes through a process, your opponents will understand your offensive and defensive routines and then think of targeted strategies to limit you. Leicester City www.biquge.info's defensive ability is ranked second in the Premier League, but its offensive ability is indeed average, only ranked tenth, and such offensive ability, how can it stand out in the Champions League and enter the round of 16, which is obviously not enough, so it is time for Leicester City's frontcourt to change.
Fortunately, Leicester City has another option, Redondo's competitive state has been adjusted to the best, and his mentality is even more harmonious. His football awareness, his big-picture vision, his dribbling skills, his passing vision are among the best in the team, and even in the entire Premier League, he is second to none, even the Argentine midfielder wizard Veron, who has now moved to Manchester United.
The two-game game has been tormenting Leicester City for nearly two months, and the physical condition of the players is relatively normal from the team doctor Allen's fitness report, but Allen pointed out in the report that the long-term physical and psychological pressure after a long-term high-intensity game can actually easily cause psychological fatigue. Allen suggested that Hu Li should rotate the main players through the three home games, and use the main force with the substitute. Complete their psychological adjustment period, so that we will be more confident to fight against the Champions League teams when we play against them.
Hu Li was very much in agreement with Allen's report's recommendations, so in the match against Fulham, Hu Li sent all five of his substitutes up front.
Just two minutes into the game, Leicester were awarded a corner from the left, and after the ball was driven into the box, striker Margay's header went wide of the woodwork.
Margai's header skills are still very good, and he is also angry enough after the top deviation, and usually the head of this position is his must-score.
Fulham's attacking ability is not very strong, and the style of play has continued the Premier League's traditional long pass rush, nothing new, but their defense is a bit similar to Leicester City, Walls, Bocanegra, Goma, Jensen are all strong players who have been in the Premier League for many years, and they are still very experienced in defending Premier League teams.
Today's forward line led by Redondo, under his combing, the waves of attack one after another, but unfortunately the cooperation on the game was too tense, and there were many mistakes that led to the loss of the ball.
In the 13th minute, Fulham made a long pass to the left after a steal, McBride received the ball and then made a beautiful through ball in front, the ball penetrated behind Leicester City's defenders, Collins turned and inserted it and raised his foot to score the ball, this goal was relatively sudden, and Alisson did not react at all.
After the goal, Fulham's momentum was very strong, and a team like Fulham would still be terrible if it went well, and Manchester United suffered two big losses at Fulham. As a direct result, the championship lost to Arsenal.
In the 18th minute, Jensen took a free kick from 35 meters in the right front field, and the ball grazed the post and almost scored.
In the 30th minute, Redondo's direct free-kick from the edge of the box was punched out by goalkeeper Crosley, and Calagones, who was inserted in the back, followed up with a volley to score.
The players were jubilant, and the players were still very unhappy when they fell behind at home, but after the goal was scored, the players' mentality was also calm. The fans applauded Calagones for the goal.
"Old Peter, this goal is a wonderful way to see our attacking coordination."
"Yes Foxes, the team has to change, otherwise we're going to get stuck in a fixed pattern and it's going to be harder for us to play. I believe that these kids have the potential and the belief that they can change very quickly if they are given 14 days in three games. ”
After Fulham's equaliser was levelised, they launched a frantic attack on Leicester City. They thought that they had finally scored first away from home, and if they won this time, we would dare to say that we were away bugs.
The first half of the game ended in a fierce scramble, and Hu Li conveyed the message to the players at halftime to continue training in the second half. Therefore, after the start of the second half, Leicester City's attack still lost the opportunity to attack in the coordination, and the timing of the running position is not yet well controlled. The midfield was still the focus of contention between the two sides, and Leicester's backline was very relaxed today. But the strikers Lake and Margai were very frustrated, and they didn't take any of the good opportunities. If they had been in the form they were in training, they would have scored a goal long ago. But now, because of self-blame, because they can't score goals and their mentality is unbalanced, they want to score earlier, so they are now rushing higher and more headless in judging the landing point of the ball. This is undoubtedly fatal for the striker.
The score was finally 1:1, and the training still achieved great results, and Hu Li discovered the mentality of the two forwards, and Hu Li decided to talk to the forward line.
