Celta is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and the successive defeats in the domestic league have made them use the Champions League as a lifeline to save the club, and the club has issued an ultimatum to win this game.

In Celta's view, this game is banned and can only watch the game from the stands, which is a very big blow to Leicester City, plus their main midfielder LaSef is also banned, which is really good news for Celta.

Inside the Stade de Valedos, the fans were jubilant as they saw the hope of beating Leicester City, a hope that delighted fans who had not been happy in the league for a long time. They sang and laughed, and a small number of fans continued to provoke Hu Li. In their opinion, Leicester City will lose today.

Old Peter is very excited now, he never thought of being able to command a Champions League game in his life. He kept communicating with the midfielder Redondo about the do's and don'ts of the game, repeating the tactical demands constantly. Old Peter knew that today's game was still very nervous for the team's players, and the reason was that Hu Li was not on the sidelines. Old Peter himself doubted whether he could hold the scene.

After the start of the game, Leicester City's implementation of offensive tactics, with a strong midfield to suppress the opponent, to reduce the pressure on the backline, today is set up in the back position of Richard and Caragonés two defensive engineers, Redondo liberated the back of the three defensive system.

Celta's attacking power was also sharp in La Liga last season, otherwise it would not have been possible to stand out in the traditional semi-finals and finish fourth. But the common problem of La Liga teams is to focus too much on attack, and their ability to defend is really not very good.

In the first half, both sides were full of energy, the attack and defense were fast and fluid, and Leicester City's battle in the midfield was no weaker than the giants of La Liga, which made Celta feel that it was more difficult to advance the midfield than expected.

Redondo knows too much about the technical characteristics of La Liga players, so in the past few days, Redondo has explained the weaknesses and advantages of La Liga players to his teammates in great detail at the request of Hu Li. In the course of the game, Celta's offensive passing line was repeatedly identified by Leicester City, and Celta's attack was always fruitless, which annoyed Celta's La Liga players.

Lineker was happy when he commented on the game, and he knew the situation of the game well, which showed that Hu Li and Old Peter had learned about Celta's weaknesses, and it seemed that Leicester City should have won today's game.

In the 20th minute of the game, Richard broke the ball successfully and made a long pass, Jefferson received the ball on the left side and knocked back Redondo who followed in the middle, Redondo got rid of the defender and burst into the penalty area with the ball, and then gently pushed to the left, followed by Jefferson's instep push, and the ball rolled into the net mischievously.

'The ball went in, the ball went in, Jefferson's inside instep pushed into the net and Leicester City took the lead. Redondo deserves to be a world-class midfielder, his grasp of timing is simply superb, Celta's only gap was caught by Redondo and gave a fatal blow, too spirited, Leicester City's midfield cooperation is becoming more and more exquisite. Lineker was full of praise for his parent team.

Celta's goalkeeper Suya. Esdibin angrily yelled at Melendez and Matthias for the goal caused by the loss of position of the two centre-backs. The two also shouted angrily.

It's a pity that the ball has been lost, and it is useless to scold again, the coach of Celta shouted on the sidelines to pay attention to defense, pay attention to defense, but at this time Celta was bent on equalizing, and the midfielders had pressed all over the line.

Old Peter also shouted loudly on the sidelines to defend, pay attention to defense. Leicester City came back to defence instantly, with forwards Jefferson and Redondo also retreating to the lower arc of the centre circle. It was only after the three-dimensional defensive line of the back three was formed that Celta's attack was stifled.

In the second half of the first half, Celta pressed Leicester City to bombard indiscriminately, and there was chaos in the penalty area, Hu Li wanted to go down to the sidelines, but the two regulatory officials sent by UEFA looked at Hu Li deadly, and Hu Li thought that he had to wait for halftime before arranging.

In the chaos, the hapless Leicester City ushered in an unlucky goal, Celta's long-range shot hit Hierro's shoulder, the ball refracted into the goal, Hierro was so angry that he slammed his fists on the ground and scolded the bad luck.

At halftime, old Peter had heart palpitations, and said to Hu Li with a bitter face: "Foxes, this top Champions League match is really not a human job, when I used to watch you running on the field, I thought you were really fucking funny, and now I understand that the pressure is too great." ”

"Old Peter, you made a mistake in the second half of this game, you shouldn't have retreated, Spain still have a good attack. Next time, you should leave Jefferson in the forward position, Redondo in the center circle position, the forward defender in the center circle arc top position, and the back waist set up a big penalty area position, to form a ladder level defense, otherwise you will lose if you defend for a long time. ”

"There will be a next time, this is the last time, you kid don't always can't hold your breath to fight, so I have to top your tank, this head coach is not my position, I think the assistant coach is really suitable for me now."

"As I said earlier, everyone remembers, the defense is carried out according to this plan, and the formation and plan of the attack are the same as in the first half. Go ahead, defeat Celta, and let the media know that we are not to be bullied. ”

At the beginning of the second half, Leicester City instigated an attack on Celta's hinterland, and under the control and guidance of Redondo, Leicester City firmly controlled the ball at their feet, constantly looking for Celta's defensive gaps. Jefferson is also constantly running without the ball in the penalty area, constantly entangled with the opponent's central defenders, and the two wing-backs on the left and right are also constantly harassing the opponent's defense on the side, constantly impacting, Celta's defense has a number of gaps, when the defense is not in place, Redondo passed a direct pass in the middle, when the ball rolls to the feet of Lewis, Lewis misses the ball, and Jefferson, who is ambushed in the penalty area, gently pulls the ball in.

"It's incredible, when the Premier League team has such a delicate combination, when the Premier League team has such a sense of advanced football, today's goal is so beautiful." Lineker jumped up to explain, so excited. The ball was so beautiful that he couldn't help it.

Leicester City scored such a wonderful goal and it was a big blow to Celta's soldiers. But Celta increased the intensity of the attack even more frantically, according to Hu Li's words: "A ball in hand, I have it in the world," since he is already ahead, what are you afraid of, and directly attack Celta. Celta was under pressure from Leicester City, and the midfield did not dare to press too high, so the game returned to the battle for midfield. Hard-hitting midfielder Leicester City is not afraid of you Celta, the game ended in the midfield smash, Celta coach said with emotion at the post-match press conference: "Whoever said that Leicester City is a weak team, who said that Leicester City can easily get points, then they will fail, with today's performance in Leicester City's midfield today, I believe that the next game against AC Milan, they should pay attention." ”
