Chapter 0566, the front court stirs up the storm!
Riyad Mahrez sprints again with the ball!
Xia Xing followed closely!
Cut in!
Keep it up!
got rid of it twice in a row, but failed to pass the summer trip!
Mahrez simply forced his feet!
The ball is deflected wide of the goal.
Alas!
Riyad Mahrez kicked the turf hard.
Xia Xing on the side had a serious expression and continued to run towards his position.
I'll be on your guard in the first half!
In the opening period, Mahrez was very active, but Xia Xing's defense was better.
It crushed him completely.
Pierre shook his head on the pitchside.
It's a pity.
If it weren't for Xia Xing, he would have the confidence to kill any defender.
But there is no way, after all, Xia Xing is a Golden Globe winner, a superstar.
Slowly, Leicester's attack began to move to the left, and the ball in midfield was more in the hands of left winger Albrighton.
Although Leicester City was in a 4-2-3-1 formation in this game, it became 4-3-3 when attacked.
Riyad Mahrez on the right was suppressed and Albrighton on the left was in full swing.
Compared with Mahrez, Albrighton also likes to cut forward, like to pass, like to shoot from a distance, but not as sharp as Mahrez, but he is also a first-class player in the Premier League.
And his fighting and defensive ability is a lot higher than Mahrez.
Albrighton on the left is a bit more versatile.
Now that the ball is on the left, Leicester's attack is also threatening.
United have Mkhitaryan on the right flank, who is opposite Albrighton.
However, the Armenians did not have the defensive ability of Xia Xing.
Several one-on-one times in a row, he was passed by Albrighton.
Mourinho frowned on the sidelines.
Be troublesome.
Just as he was arranging for Herrera to make up for the defense, Albrighton had already penetrated Manchester United's wide defence again!
Continuous change of direction, fast sprint!
Mkhitaryan was left behind!
Albrighton makes a long pass close to the ground!
The ball goes straight in the direction of the penalty area!
Vardy sprints!
In front of Manchester United's defence, Vardy's speed is invincible!
None of United's defenders have the ability to keep up with his speed!
On the line of the six-yard penalty area, Vardy kicks and shoots!
The ball is inserted into the dead corner!
The ball is in!
1 to 0!
Leicester City scored first!
The perfect start!
Although United defended Leicester's right wing, it was their left wing that created good chances.
And Jamie Vardy's aggression is unmatched.
Mourinho on the sidelines looked at Vardy and was really greedy.
Now Manchester United really lack such a fast horse striker, and he has a good shot on goal.
With a goal, Manchester United's attack tightened up front.
In the next few minutes, Paul Pogba and Mkhitaryan each had a long-range shot, but both were close to finding the back of the net.
Captain Wayne Rooney also received a good pass and eventually slid a shot out of goal.
United have missed back-to-back chances to equalise.
And on Leicester's side, their goals came again.
This time it was Albrighton's breakthrough on the left again!
Manchester United midfielders Herrera and Mkhitaryan are sandwiched!
Right-back Valencia also rushed up!
Albrighton seized the opportunity and knocked decisively!
Ndidi in the middle catches the ball!
Leicester City's midfielders don't stop the ball and rub the ball up directly!
Fly to the left!
Hit Valencia behind!
Just now Valencia grabbed the help defense, and there was no space behind him!
It's a clever pass!
The Nigerian midfielder, who joined Leicester City last winter, has become an indispensable midfield pillar of the team!
Forward midfielder Andy King quickly stepped forward and received the ball!
Accelerate to the bottom line!
Bottom cross!
Jamie Vardy in the middle shoots in front of goal!
The ball goes into the net!
2 to 0!
Leicester City scored another goal!
Brilliant fast attack!
This time, it was taking advantage of the forward pressure of Manchester United's wide defense, which caused the team's overall defensive imbalance.
Manchester United's defence has an inescapable responsibility to bear.
After 30 minutes, United were two goals down.
And that's when Manchester United is all in the game.
Mourinho on the sidelines of the pitch looked very bad.
It was a terrible game.
Especially on the right, who was in very poor form today.
Right-back Valencia, who didn't play well today.
This is also understandable, as Valencia attendance is so high.
In the current Manchester United team, in addition to Xia Xing, De Gea and a few other players, Valencia has the highest attendance rate.
Because Manchester United are currently short of a right-back replacement, if Valencia is not present, they will have to make cameos for other centre-backs.
For example, Damian.
But it still can't compare to Valencia's one-stop offensive and defensive ability.
At the age of 32, he is still able to defend the right side of Manchester United so strongly, and he also provides assists and goals from time to time, he is already great.
Today he has obviously suffered a serious drop in fitness, and his defensive speed has not been as good as before on several occasions.
In addition to him, Mkhitaryan is in poor form.
Quite poor, very poor.
Since returning from injury, Mkhitaryan has not been able to regain his previous good form.
He has also gone from being an absolute mainstay of the team to a rotational player.
Mourinho gave him a chance in this game, but he still couldn't play well.
Even the club is tentatively asking Mourinho if he can sell Mkhitaryan?
Keep in mind that there are still a few clubs that are interested in Armenians.
However, Mourinho decided to save it.
But today, the performance was terrible.
Even if it's not good at defense, it's not so easy to get past so many times.
It's an exaggeration.
At half-time, Mourinho directly used up two substitutions and replaced two.
Darmian and Jesse Lingard came off the bench.
As soon as the second half began, Manchester United's form immediately changed!
Especially after Lingard came on the field, Manchester United's attack came up all of a sudden!
Compared to Mkhitaryan, Lingard is not as skilled as him.
However, Lingard's running ability is in the top three of the team!
After getting on the field, he quickly stirred up the storm in the front court!
United conceded two goals in the first half, mainly because of a broken arm on the right flank.
Now that Darmian is on the pitch, the defence is solid.
And Lingard's aggressive movement soon brought a chance to Manchester United!
Within ten minutes of the second half, United had three chances on goal!
are one step away from breaking the net!
In the 58th minute of the game, Manchester United launched another onslaught!
This time it was Darmian's decisive defense that brought down Albrighton!
Pass the ball forward and find Lingard!
Lingard crosses and hands it to Rooney, the captain of the middle lane!
Then quickly diagonally insert into the restricted area!
Rooney understands it, doesn't stop the ball, and rubs the outside instep!
Leicester captain Morgan stepped up but couldn't touch the ball!
Rooney's pass was just right, getting past Morgan and heading straight for Lingard!
Another Leicester centre-back, Harry Maguire, stepped up quickly and Lingard didn't have time to stop the ball!
At the last moment, Lingard decisively half volleyed!
The ball hits the net!
1 to 2!
Manchester United finally pulled a goal back!
Jesse Lingard scored the world's wave goal!
Wonderful! (End of chapter)
