Chapter Thirty-Four: Fierce Battles - Gunbreakers

In the battle of Middlesbrough, the mentality of the Leicester City team has become more and more stable, and the key to testing whether a mature team is whether it can withstand the pressure when the score is behind, go against the trend, and the whole team is united, even if it loses the game in the end, the mentality of this team is mature. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If there is more time for Hu Li and Leicester City, Hu Li believes that he will be able to calmly adjust the team's mentality and build Leicester City into a real iron-blooded team soul, but now time is really running out, since the 23-28 rounds of the league, Leicester City will play 7 games in a row in four weeks, respectively, and "Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Blackburn, Liverpool, Chelsea, Everton" these 7 teams. Leicester City, who had two byes before Christmas, now have to pay off all the debts. In the face of such a dense game and such a tough opponent, even the picky general manager Rice declared that he would be satisfied with only 2 points.

Hu Li's pessimism about Rice is understandable, but he doesn't think Leicester City is not without a chance, more than half of the league schedule, Leicester City currently has 37 points, and now there is no problem with relegation, if you get 6 points in these 6 games, Leicester City still has a chance to enter the League Cup. Hu Li worked out a detailed tactical plan overnight according to the characteristics of the seven teams, and prepared to hold a tactical meeting tomorrow.

"Colleagues, players, good morning, from the beginning of this week until February 22, we have three consecutive weeks to face a double week, and we are facing 'Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle, Liverpool, Chelsea, Everton' these seven top 10 teams, I believe you have also a premonition of our current predicament, to borrow a phrase from our general manager Rice last week, we only need to get two points to be satisfied. I'd like to hear what the players think. ”

"Boss, I remember you told us an old saying in Huaguo, 'Princes and generals, rather have a kind of', we will not sit still, I believe that under your leadership, we can overturn the gunman and stab the Red Devil."

"Boss, Lewis is right, we all had a small meeting on the lawn of the training ground this morning, we Leicester City are not mud figures, no one can handle them at will, although they are strong, they want to eat us, they still lack a good pair of teeth."

"Boss, Lewis and Abel have made a statement, I, Jefferson, am not a soft egg, although the attack power of our three fronts is not as good as others, but the three of us will obey the overall situation, starting from the interests of the whole team, as long as the tactics require, even if the three of us play guards, we are willing to do it specifically to mark the defense, I don't believe that we can be weaker than them, we have to fight to win, if we don't win, we have to lose, and we have to make him pay a painful price, hehe, we have learned a lot of bad tricks from the head in the past three months."

"Good, good, good, what I want is this momentum of yours, I have such a spirit in my hometown' When the ancient swordsmen met their opponents in a narrow way, no matter how powerful the opponent was, even if the opponent was the number one swordsman in the world, they knew that they were invincible, and they had to show their swords. Even if you fall under the opponent's sword, you will still be glorious even if you are defeated, this is the spirit of the bright sword'. You're very good, very good, and I'm proud to be in charge of Leicester City, and I'm proud to have you. ”

"We had only one tactic against Arsenal on Wednesday, which was to capture the thief first. We need to use the midfield as a meat grinder, and when defending, we must fully contain the passing lines of the middle and left of the forward midfielder, and block Ljungberg's crosses from the side, and this task will be handed over to Lewis and Charlie; Vieira is given the position to Clal, I ask you to let Vieira get a red card, otherwise you will play as a substitute in the next game, you know exactly how to do it, for example you can talk to him about the passion between him and Keane, I am sure Vieira will be happy to give you a punch. Henry's marking is left to Richard, don't let Henry run, if Henry can run, then you can only run back to Leicester City from London after the race. Bergkamp and Reyes will be handed over to Abel and Hebrew, you have been selected as the best defender in the Premier League for two consecutive rounds, if you can't do it, you can be my boxing sparring partner in the evening. ”

"The game formation should pay attention to the change, 451 when defending, 433 when attacking, Lasef your forward position is the core of our attack, Berman in the center of the guard to pay attention to the Quartet to complement the defense, the attack must be fast, the ball must be decisive, Arsenal's Toure, Campbell, Lauren is the best defense in the Premier League. Margay was in charge of the physical confrontation against Lauren on the front line, this guy is old, and a few times may have an unintended effect, and Jefferson will come back in the second half. Everybody understands what I mean. ”

"Understood, send off Patrick Vieira, contain Henry and Pire, we can basically get a point in this game, and if we break Lauren, our forward line can easily enter the middle to score."

"Yes, it seems that everyone has understood my intentions, that's what I did, and I want to emphasize that in the first half, all the players participated in the defense, and the physical confrontation was more intense, but don't hurt people maliciously, if I see someone who gives the little girl the same run, double the weight training, do you understand?"

"Understand, boss, you just look at our performance."

Wednesday night's game, because it is a make-up match, is the only game in England and even in Europe! Wenger's grim expression at the pre-match press conference was still the same, and the reporters couldn't get any momentum out of his reply in a word, and the Sun, as always, was undisciplined, and when he brought up the battle between Leicester City and Arsenal over the flow of technology and English tradition, Wenger said coldly that it would be a battle at Highbury Stadium. After saying that, he turned his head and left.

Hu Li smiled and bowed deeply to the reporters, and said something that Wenger will remember for the rest of his life. "Dear friends from the media, I am very sorry for the departure of Mr. Wenger, as a manager, in the face of the press conference, we should take it seriously and leave rashly, this is a disrespect for the profession of football and the media, and I would like to express my deep apologies on behalf of Mr. Wenger."

The nose of the press official at the Arsenal press conference was crooked, damn Foxes is too hateful, this sentence is equivalent to putting Wenger and the Arsenal club on the opposite side of the media, I don't know how these shameless reporters will write it.

Lineker and Sky Sports' Martin Taylor are responsible for the commentary and commentary of the game, Martin Taylor has an in-depth understanding of football as a professional sports commentator, and Lineker is even more popular with fans and friends as a gentleman on the football field.

"Lineker, I think Arsenal have the strongest squad at the moment, the players in all three lines are world-class star players, today your parent club Leicester City is afraid to lose badly, Highbury may find a bloody case."

"Dear Martin, I don't doubt the strength of Arsenal, but Leicester City's 10-1 record since Foxes took over the team is not written, but a real performance of strength, and I believe they will perform well today."

"Alright, we'll see."

When introducing the players of both sides, Leicester City's entry was greeted with terrifying boos from Highbury, and Hu Li was in the away team's coach's bench with even more items, but fortunately, Hu Li was able to run to the edge of the field in a few steps.

Hu Li shouted loudly to the team members, "Have you seen it? That's how Highbury welcomes their opponents, can you show your blood and make them feel your presence? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Those three words fluttered throughout the stadium, and the Leicester City fans who had come from afar joined in the roar, and the sound resounded through the night.

Wenger heard and saw Leicester City's performance, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, I am afraid that today's game will be difficult.

The game started, Bergkamp kicked off the ball and knocked it back to Gilberto, Gilberto ran with the ball, and when he was about to stuff the ball to Ljungberg on the left, a black shadow cut in from Gilberto's right side, and Klar knocked down Gilberto directly, Vieira saw that he hit Gilberto and immediately ran to Klar and yelled loudly, what the hell do you want to do, do you want to murder?

Claire shrugged her shoulders and smiled at Vieira and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

The ball was still at Arsenal's feet, and when Vieira dribbled past the midfield, a black shadow tackled from the left side and brought Vieira down, and when Vieira angrily yelled, Claire shrugged his shoulders and smiled and said to Vieira, "Sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

This scene was repeated no less than eight times in the first 30 minutes of the first half, and the referee, Barry, was a typical English fan, who was very keen on physical football, believing that this was a real man's sport, and Vieira was going crazy.

Arsenal fans were also stunned, the previous smooth cooperation went there, the past short pass infiltrated there, it was all the damn Leicester people who stole it, tackled, and crashed. They also realized that they would have to pay a big price if they wanted to win today's game.

Arsene Wenger angrily complained to the fourth official about Leicester's foul, but the fourth official only said, "Sorry, you can file a video of the game and appeal it to the FA, and they will take it and deal with it." ”

Arsene Wenger's shortcomings lie in the old-fashioned, not flexible enough when commanding on the spot, but in fact, the pitch is like a battlefield, and the tactical plan formulated must change when it is disrupted, otherwise it is difficult to deal with the tactical encirclement of 11 people by relying on the individual ability of the star alone. Arsene Wenger shouted loudly from the sidelines, "Divide the ball, divide the ball quickly, don't stop the ball and then divide the ball, Bergkamp and Reyes go back to the middle to get the ball." ”

Hu Li secretly screamed in his heart, okay, the opportunity is coming, the Arsenal striker goes back to the middle to get the ball, the guard line must be put forward to ensure that the ball is held firmly and can be held, Hu Li ran to the side of the midfield and waved to Lewis, Hu Li told him softly, see the opportunity to play the left and right guard line gaps, you and Charlie, Margai to cooperate, tell Margai not to rush to attack first, first entangle with Lauren, and wait until injury time when everyone relaxes their vigilance before attacking.

Sure enough, Arsenal, which has been attacking for 46 minutes in a row, has relaxed its defense, Charlie has a long pass to the right side after breaking the ball, Lewis received the ball and went directly to the bottom, Clal, Richard, and Lasef all followed up with the ball, and after reaching the bottom line, Lewis knocked back diagonally, and Richard followed up in the middle to meet the ball with a kick, and the ball hit the ground and bounced directly to the right frame of the goal.

"Goal, my God, Arsenal defended loosely, a bocce ball actually bounced in, it was the fault of Lauren and Lehmann, this is also the fault of Arsene Wenger, Wenger and Arsenal were in danger in the second half."

"You see, Taylor, this is my favorite team. They played fantastic today. ”

In the dressing room of the Highbury home team, Wenger angrily scolded Lauren and Lehmann, asking everyone to be vigilant against the opponent's counterattack at all times in the second half, and strongly asked all the players not to be afraid of the opponent's physical confrontation, and our own style of play should be more tenacious and not to be intimidated by the opponent.

Yes, Arsenal's stars are indeed frightened by Leicester City's strong style of play, they are afraid of injury, they are afraid that their careers will be affected, so they will consciously protect themselves when they fight, which gives Leicester City the opportunity to easily break the ball and tackle.

Hu Li only said one sentence at halftime, Clal, why haven't you gotten Vieira down yet. Everyone laughed when they heard this.

"Boss, I'm calling it strategy, and I'm sure if I bump into it again, I'll add some more material, and he'll have to go down," Clall assured.

At the beginning of the second half, Highbury became a real battlefield, and Arsenal's style of play became more and more strong, and direct physical confrontation, ball breaking, and black feet under tackles slowly became popular in this game.

Vieira fell after another tackle from Claire, who shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Vieira and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

"Vieira, you're fucking like a rat and coward, didn't you get broken by Keane?"

Vieira was mad, Keane was his taboo, yes, it was taboo, Vieira's fist naturally met Claire's face, so Claire was red, and Vieira was also red.

The Arsenal players didn't know what was going on, and their captain Patrick Vieira was sent off by referee Barry.

Wenger angrily took off his clothes and threw him on the ground, scolding Hu Li for his cunning and treachery next to the coach's seat, and the discerning person understood at a glance that Hu Li was arranging for Kral to provoke Vieira's thick nerves, so that Vieira was angry and sent off with a red card, and Arsenal, which had one less person, could keep the score of 0:1.

The turbulent second half was less than halfway through, with Vieira, the captain of Arsenal, sent his troops to replace Clare and replaced No. 9 striker Jefferson, Leicester City's players launched a crazy attack on Arsenal, yes, it was a crazy attack, a full 65 minutes were suppressed, Leicester City's players needed to vent, so the ending of 10:11 was 70 and 85 minutes Leicester City scored a goal each by strikers Jefferson and Margai, With a score of 0:3, they beat Arsenal away from home.
