Chapter 129: Understanding and Enforcement

As a striker who weighs more than 200 pounds, Lukaku likes to use his speed to eat opponents raw.

He can take advantage of reasonable positioning and physical advantages to get his opponents behind him.

He scored 15 Premier League goals last season and showcased his high-intensity duels and finishing skills in the box.

Against a defensively fragile Leicester City side, manager Martinez will be hoping to use his super impact to open the door to victory for his team.

In the first fifteen minutes, Lukaku did well enough.

Not only can he force his way into the opposition box with his body, but he can also get the ball back and create chances for his team-mates.

In the face of such an oppressive centre-forward, the Lyicester City defence did not dare to be careless.

As a midfielder, Commander Can's not only has to be responsible for defending, but also has to be the first barrier to intercept passes.

Keeping Lukaku out of reach is the first step in limiting him.

But Everton's attack was not only in the middle, but also in Lennon and Naismith on the flanks.

In the 18th minute, Naismith crossed diagonally from the left in front of the goal, and Lukaku and Upson collided hard in order to compete for the top, and both fell to the ground.

The team doctor entered, and Upson was in a worse condition and was only allowed to enter after receiving treatment off the field.

In the 25th minute, the captain of Lyicester City received a yellow card while defending Romelu Lukaku and gave the opponent a free-kick from outside the box.

Unfortunately, Naismith's shot went over the crossbar.

The Lyicester City defence looked vulnerable in front of Romelu Lukaku.

Morgan, in particular, received a yellow card in the first half, which had a great impact on the subsequent game.

Romelu Lukaku was also clever enough to find Morgan and make physical contact with him in the hope that he would be sent off for a second yellow card.

During this time, Pearson was restless, and after Morgan was carded, he stood in the command area and never returned to his seat.

Everton's 4-2-3-1 was a good use of depth to convert attack and defence, limiting the two wings to plug in.

Lennon's right side pressed Schlupp to his own half.

Fortunately, Schlupp's vertical defensive ability is good, so he can suppress the opponent's attack on one side in time and cut off the opponent's connection with Cambiaso in the middle.

But Everton were able to use their individual ability to move the ball to the other side and then try to attack.

This kind of pressing style of play makes the players of the Leicester City team feel the pressure.

There is speed, there is a breakthrough, there is a cross, there is a high point, how to defend Everton like this?

In the match against Arsenal, Lyicester City used high pressing and fought with opponents in midfield.

But Everton, unlike Arsenal, requires the overall cooperation of the players.

On the counter-attack, they only need two or three teams to create a threat.

Lyicester City were forced to struggle with the ball and returned the ball to the goalkeeper on a number of occasions.

Hush!

At Goodison Park, boos rang out.

To help his team-mates share the pressure, Rossi dropped back into midfield to meet him, while Jamie Vardy moved up to the pitch and operated on both flanks.

This is Vardy's most dangerous area of activity, and he only needs one pass to run freely behind the opposition.

But the question is, how do you get the ball out?

The team does not have a playmaking core, and Rossi's retreat is strictly guarded by the back, and it is difficult to get a chance to play.

After a long attack, Pearson took advantage of the opportunity to take the throw-in and whispered a few words to Mahrez.

After the boundary ball was released, Mahrez quickly stepped forward and received a through ball from Rossi.

Mahrez was stunned, and Pearson was even more shocked.

With a short throw-in, Pearson could only briefly explain his tactics to Mahrez, allowing him to cut in front to win the ball and use the dribbling to tear through the defence.

Next, he had to remind the other players to adjust his tactical attacking direction.

However, without any instructions, Rossi passed the ball the moment Mahrez stepped forward, and seemed to know the manager's tactics.

It must have been a coincidence, it must have been the ball that was passed after seeing Mahrez unguarded.

Although Rossi made the right choice, Pearson did not believe that Rossi knew everything about his tactics without prompting.

After receiving the ball, Mahrez was instantly pinched, and he used his fast foot technique to keep the ball at his feet at all times.

Pearson rushed to the other players to come to the back and cut in to create chances.

But the first to appear in the most suitable position was Rossi.

"Pass!"

Mahrez, who was trapped, heard the shouts of his teammates and poked the ball out in the gap. Rossi flicked the ball forward with the outside of his right foot and cut forward.

This sudden pluck kick started to catch Everton centre-back John Stones a little off guard, and he turned to chase back and found that the speed of this Championship kid was amazing.

However, the Everton defence pressed too high, and Rossi's shortcomings in long-distance sprinting gradually became apparent, giving Stones plenty of time to recover.

Rossi sent the ball to the left, and there, there was a guy who was faster than him, and his name was Vardy.

Amid the exclamations of the home fans, Vardy cut through the gap between full-back and centre-back, received a pass from Rossi, strode the ball and slotted into the box in an instant.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he shot directly with his feet, and the ball flew to the upper left corner of the goal.

There was nothing the goalkeeper could do about such a violent shot, standing still and praying for the ball to go wide or hit the post.

Vardy rarely misses a single shot.

【goal!

! 】

[The Lyrcester City team, which has been pressed and beaten, actually took the lead away from home. 】

[This conceded goal is inexplicable, Everton's defense line was easily penetrated like this. 】

After the goal, Vardy, with his arms outstretched, ran towards Rossi.

"Luo, this amount in advance is very perfect, very comfortable." Vardy was eager to kiss him.

Before Rossi's return, he had scored just three goals in his previous 20 games.

Now that he has scored in two consecutive games, and it is all Rossi's assist, how can you not like him.

Pearson also waved his fists passionately, venting his suppressed emotions.

It's been a long time since the team has had this kind of sharp attack.

"Steven, what do you think of this goal, is it really luck?" Henry asked with a smile.

As a midfielder for Liverpool and England, Steven Gerrard naturally sees the key to this.

"Lyicester City's attack is not working because the midfield has given too little support to the attack. Especially for a team like theirs with long balls and quick attacks, the midfield must be fast. ”

"The number 26, who has been suppressed in the half before, can get the ball in the ribs of Everton when he cuts forward, attracting the attention of two players defensively, and at this time his teammates are forward and it is easy to penetrate the defence."

Gerald thought for a moment and let out a "hiss" from his mouth.

"No, this tactic must not have been set up before. Because they have been suppressed for a long time, the 26th has no intention of moving forward. ”

He recalled the process before the goal and said: "It must have been a temporary tactic arranged by the coach to let him step forward."

Henry said: "Having said that, the coach has to remind the other players to cooperate when arranging tactics on the spot. But just after serving, Lyrcester City's attack was like a pre-arranged attack, this offensive idea was very clear, and it was very simple, and the opponent was caught off guard. ”

Gerrard agreed: "If it's not set up in advance and you can play such a fluid attack, then the players are very capable of the game. As a pivot for the transformation of this offense......"

"It's Rosie!" The two said in unison.

Gerrard smiled and said: "If the Everton players are resolute in their execution, then Lyrc City is a thorough understanding of the game."

"The outcome of this game will be difficult to predict."
