As previously arranged, Rossi, as a central striker, has to dig deep in the opponent's penalty area to attract the defence, and at the same time receive the cross from his teammates and head the ball in.

Nugent has the pace and passing, and can pick up the ball at the edge of the box to attract the defence.

The combination of the two, one high and one fast, can create space for Mahrez on the wing to break through.

That's the flexibility of Leicester's forward line, the versatility of attack.

But there was no one in the box to attract the defence, and no matter who the ball passed to the front line, the opponent had enough time to take action against the defense.

Unless it's a lineup of three fast forwards who can use speed and passing to tear apart the defence.

Therefore, Rossi's retreat undoubtedly weakened the offensive depth ability and disrupted the team's entire offensive deployment.

But Rossi didn't do anything wrong, after all, the ball control and dribbling are both at 80, which is much more skilled than Nugent.

Shooting and the experienced Nugent are at the front, and retreating on their own is the best solution.

However, looking at the head coach's gloomy face, Rossi obediently obeyed.

If a player is disobedient, no matter how good his performance is, he will definitely be banned in the future.

Both teams use a three-centre-back line-up, with the midfield being the focus of contention between the two sides, and the strangulation is particularly ferocious, making it difficult for the ball to reach the feet of the forwards on both sides.

If you open a long ball with a big foot, let alone Rossi, even if Vardy is present, there is no guarantee that the ball will be won firmly in front of the opponent's tall central defender.

In the final minutes of the first half, neither side could threaten the back of the net.

At halftime, Pearson walked into the locker room with a tactical board under his armpit.

Jamie Vardy's injury has yet to be clarified, and if he misses the rest of the game due to injury, the manager will regret sending him on.

If this game is lost, then there is only one point between the team and Burnley.

In the remaining 8 rounds, each of them cannot afford to lose, so it is too passive.

"Luo, in the second half you continue to be up front, pay attention to the passing. As long as you can stop the ball, we have a chance. ”

Although he knows that it is difficult for rookie Rossi to head and get the ball under the opponent's tight defense, the tactics still have to be explained, after all, he is now one goal behind.

At the moment, there is only hope pinned on the team's top scorer Nugent.

As long as they get a draw, the team still has a four-point lead.

In the second half, Burnley began to shrink their defence and concentrate on counter-attacking.

The Burnley backline is all tall centre-backs with a large lateral defensive area, and there is absolutely no chance of attacking frontally, and Rossi can only move between the three central defenders.

Head coach Pearson also saw Rossi's movement, which was very smart.

The central defenders in the English league have good one-defense and tackling ability, and it is almost impossible to get the ball in front of them.

However, being tall at back means lacking in turn and speed.

Rossi moved between the two centre-backs to attract both defenders at the same time.

Once there is a mistake in the cooperation between the two, it only takes one anti-offside position to run out of the empty space.

In the 58th minute of the game, Leicester City midfielder Drinkwater got rid of the defense and passed a through ball towards Rossi.

Shakel, who defended him, made up for it in time to prevent Rossi from turning easily.

In the face of a center forward like Rossi, who has rough skills at his feet, he must be given physical confrontation at the first time, so that he cannot easily stop the ball and do not give him a chance to turn.

But looking at Rossi's body, Shackel wanted to use his physical advantage to directly put him down, even if he was blown foul by the referee, he would not be fed.

This is in the Championship, and this kind of physical confrontation is simply commonplace.

Rossi seemed to have known that Shackel was going to step forward to fight, with his feet slightly open, his center of gravity lowered, and he took advantage of his position first to stand in position.

In such a situation, if the defender still wants to use the physical confrontation, as long as Rossi falls to the ground, it is definitely a defensive foul.

And the two have had a physical confrontation before, and the referee's decision will definitely be biased in Rossi's favor.

Although Schalke is a rough brother, his years of defensive experience have told him that with the last physical confrontation, if he takes the initiative again, Rossi only needs to roll a few laps on the ground, and yellow cards are inevitable.

Rossi turned his back to the defender and faced the incoming ball and reached out with his right foot to meet it.

Shackel had a "sure enough" expression on his face, thinking that since he couldn't go on the confrontation, he would restrict him from turning, stretch out his feet to interfere with his catch, and as long as he moved, he would immediately counter-rob.

Everything is under control.

But instead of stopping the ball, Rossi lifted the outside of his toe slightly, gently lifted the ball back, and turned himself in the other direction.

Although it is not as dexterous and elegant as "Ice Prince" Bergkamp, and the ball is too far to the right, the effect is not bad at all.

In the past, Rosie would never have been able to do such a trick.

However, with his ball control and dribbling skills improving by leaps and bounds, he has a firm grasp of the delicate handling of the ball at his feet.

Split the ball?

Shackle, who was about to exert his strength, looked shocked and kicked his right foot into the air.

Not only the ball, but also no one touched, and was instantly cleaned up by this U21 rookie.

Together, there was also the coach of Leicester City.

Rossi's technical style is all too familiar to him, but he has never seen him with such a dexterous and flowing style.

But seeing such a delicate human ball, he still clenched his fists and held his breath.

Here's your chance!

In a three-centre-back system, defenders must not allow the opposing striker to break through easily.

Once breached, another central defender must rush to make up for it, and the gap behind him is completely exposed to the other striker of the attacking side.

Shakel hurriedly chased back, shame made his face red, let a U21 child give it, where is the face?

But the gap in position is difficult to make up.

Shakel was in a hurry, his legs rushed back, and he saw the right moment and a sliding shovel to bring Rossi down.

Drip!

The referee blew for a stoppage, which was a behind-the-back tackle that showed Shakel a yellow card.

The Leicester City players stepped forward one after another to reason with the referee that it was clearly a red card foul.

However, the referee signaled that Burnley defender Michael Duff was the last defender in the last position, and Rossi did not form an absolute one-on-one.

In such an important game, the referee's mentality will be affected to some extent, and the penalty is also very cautious.

Seeing Rosie smug with a smile, Shackle suddenly realized that he had been calculated by this rookie.

Rossi was looking for his own foul in the first place.

Wow, you actually cheated me.

Shakel, who had a fierce look on his face, stared fiercely at the little rookie in front of him.

This kind of carving insect skill, I dare to get an axe at my class, next time I don't knock you down directly, let the stretcher carry you down.

Leicester City were awarded a set-piece in front.

Riyad Mahrez takes a set-piece and the ball goes over the front post and towards the back of goal.

Defending Nugent at the back post was Shaker and he had to keep an eye on Leicester's leading scorer.

Seeing the ball flying towards the back point, he took advantage of his height advantage and jumped hard, trying to push the ball out of the penalty area to make up for the foul.

However, Mahrez's pass obviously fell further back than he expected, and the same was true for the drop.

When he realized that something was wrong, his body had already jumped to the highest point and could not be adjusted in mid-air.

Worst!

When Shaker realised his big mistake, the ball flew over his head and landed in front of Nugent behind him.

Nugent saw Shackel jumping high, like a mountain in front of him, and was about to give up, but the opponent made a mistake in the battle for the top, and the ball actually leaked.

Surprised and delighted, he lifted his left foot slightly and gently unloaded the ball with his thigh.

The goalkeeper was stunned at first, and after only 0.1s, he rushed forward to block the angle of the shot.

Nugent, who played in the Premier League, will never miss the opportunity, unloading the ball and hitting the goal with his right foot.

The Burnley goalkeeper had no time to react in the face of a powerful volley from close range, but out of professionalism, his whole body still pounced.

However, Nugent's powerful shot made him feel like a roar in his ears.

When he turned back, the ball was already in the near corner of the goal.

1:1！！！

Leicester equalised away from home.

Teammates hugged the goalkeeper, this goal is too important, so that the points of both sides are back on the same running line.

Nugent also surpassed Vardy as the team's top scorer with 17 league goals after scoring that goal.
