Chapter 169: You're a Winger, Aren't You?
Claudio Ranieri's side have an Italian solid defence, and counter-attacking is their forte.
But the current Ryicester City team not only retains the pressing defense in the frontcourt, but also gives the midfielder more opportunities to get the ball.
This seems to be somewhat different from Ranieri, who has always sought stability.
In the attack just now, after Mahrez won the ball on the left side, he did not go directly to the bottom cross, but gave him more freedom to choose space.
After the goal, Lyrc City formed a 2-3 position in the front court to press up, and midfielder Andy King, as the team's midfield barrier, dragged to the end, with Schlupp on the side.
But a lot of times, Schlupp will have a bigger range of movement, and the only one who really defends is Andy King.
Not to mention the opponent, even assistant coach Craig was terrified.
The team gathers so many people in the front court, if the opponent is allowed to play a counterattack, the back line can be dangerous.
Ranieri did not hesitate to do so, but urged his players off the pitch to press boldly.
Completely different from his usual amiable appearance, Ranieri, who commanded the battle off the field, had a serious and serious attitude.
Sunderland manager Advocaat is a little confused, how can this be more ferocious than when he played the relegation game last season?
In terms of age, Advocaat is four years older than Ranieri.
In terms of coaching experience, he has coached far more clubs and national teams than his opponents.
In the honor room, there are not only the UEFA Super Cup, but also the UEFA Cup, the Soviet Super League, the Eredivisie, and the Russian Premier League.
In that respect, he is far better than Ranieri.
But in the first round of the new season, he was overwhelmed by the relegation favorite team.
Sunderland, who lined up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, wanted to take advantage of the number of people in the front field to suppress Lyicester City.
But he didn't expect that Lyster City would also press on it vigorously, and the number of attackers was one more than his own.
Claudio Ranieri's side is not conservative at all.
In the 18th minute of the game, Lyicester City attacked on the right side, Albrighton dribbled the ball along the sideline, and in the face of the tight follow-up of the defenders, his legs suddenly started with the ball.
The defender's center of gravity also moves quickly, clinging to the front.
However, Albrighton kicked the ball back with his left foot, pulled out a bit of space, and then took the ball with his right foot and passed it towards goal.
In order to avoid being blocked, the force was too great when the ball was started, and the ball flew so fast that Vardy at the front point failed to top the top when he took off and fought for the top, and leaked to the back post.
After being shot in a false shot, the central defender Coates at the back point hesitated for a moment, his eyes attracted by Rossi behind him.
With the last grab, he didn't dare to take Rosie lightly.
Watch it tight this time.
Just as he was about to clear the ball sideways, a man suddenly flashed in front of him, grabbed in front of him, and headed the ball towards the goal.

[Lyicester City's attack did not stop, and it was Mahrez who scored the goal this time. γ
[Sunderland's defense of the high ball today has a big problem, Ronaldo and Mahrez are not good at headers, but they can appear in the most critical position and complete the goal with a header. γ
[Lyicester City's start in this game is to continue to use the main force of last season, and two goals were scored in less than 20 minutes in the opening game. γ
As the players gathered to cheer, Ranieri on the sidelines didn't show much joy.
These two goals cannot ignore the credit of Rossi and Mahrez, but there is also a little luck.
The most important thing is that the team is not playing the familiar routine.
The league is not a knockout round, but a long season that tests the team's fitness, will and technique, in every aspect.
You can't rely on luck once or twice to hope for a good result.
While it was time to celebrate, Ranieri called Drinkwater to the sidelines and patiently and carefully laid out tactics with him.
As the game continued, Sunderland's serve, Lyicester City immediately began to press the familiar frontcourt.
The Sunderland manager was standing on the pitch, his right hand touching his chin and his brow furrowed.
It stands to reason that Lyicester City will experience a scandal and a manager's dismissal this summer, and the team should be affected to some extent.
However, judging from the course of the game, it seems that they are still in the same competitive form as they were in the relegation stage last season.
Before the start of the game, he even wanted to take three points on his opponent, not expecting the current situation.
The team must take the ball out of the opposition's pressing.
Advocaat sent the full-backs forward and midfielder Sebastian dropped back to make the most of the width of the pitch and spread the defensive pressure from the opposition's scrambles.
Sebastian Larsson is the heart of Sunderland's playmaking midfield and has a good quality long ball.
He returned to the midfield position and formed a triangle with the two scattered centre-backs to relieve the defensive pressure at the back.
Rossi also leaned towards Sebastian at the first time to limit his ball.
However, the latter was still able to use his body to protect the ball and pass it to Jereman on the wing, allowing him to dribble the ball into the right side of the Lyicester City defence.
Albrighton's defence was weak, but full-back De la Aet's decisive tackle cleared the ball cleanly.
The moment Sunderland pulled the ball out of the back, Schlupp quickly returned to the backline and kept Lyicester City intact at all times.
After the break, Lyicester City launched a quick counter-attack, and Drinkwater's pass in midfield found Rossi on the wing.
On the right edge of the penalty area, Rossi unloaded the ball with his right foot and turned his back to the defender.
Kabourg, a centre-back who transferred from Tottenham Hotspur this summer, was on the bench at White Hart Lane to witness Rossi's "hat-trick".
At the start of the game, he kept a high level of concentration.
His close pressing is to prevent Rossi from turning and passing the ball easily, buying time for his teammates who return to defense.
Rossi controlled the ball sideways, and his eyes caught Jamie Vardy, who was receiving in the middle, and raised his right foot to pass the ball.
This detail of his observation also attracted Cabur's attention.
If you want to pass the ball, it's not that easy!
Cabul reached out his left leg when Rossi touched the ball, blocking Rossi's passing lane.
But instead of passing, Rossi used the inside of his right foot to hook the ball back from behind the supporting foot and in the opposite direction.
At the same time, the body completes the turn breakthrough in the direction of the ball in an exaggerated turn.
Fake fax buckle?
Caboul was taken aback.
Although he was wary of Rossi's feints, the flexibility of his body after this smash was too rebellious.
Especially after smashing the ball, the step of connecting and turning is very silky, is this the flexibility that a center can have?
It's not an exaggeration to say he's a winger!
[Oh my God, it's 'Kruyinf turning', Rowe got out of the defense and got into the box.] γ
[Can Cabur catch up?] γ
[Fell, Luo fell in the penalty area.] γ
[Referee Lee Mason, without hesitation, pointed to the penalty spot and showed Kaboul a yellow card.] γ
[This is the 25th minute of the first half, and Lyrcester City will have a three-goal lead over Sunderland.] γ
[This must be the first round of the season, the most incredible game.] γ
[Leicester City is not lying, they are really going for relegation. γ
