Chapter 199: The first Christmas champion in team history
Stones lowered his head and touched his nose with his hand, remorseful.
The offside position just now, from a tactical point of view, is no problem.
But he forgot the important point,
Rules!
There is no offside for an attacking player when he has not passed his own half.
Rossi cleverly used this rule to stop in his own half at the moment of his teammate's pass, so that even if he was at the front, he still did not fail to be offside.
Cunning, really too cunning!
The 21-year-old Stones lost first in the battle with the 21-year-old Rossi.
With Rossi scoring first, Lyicester City are one step closer to their Christmas title.
"Dingling, Dingdong!"
Rossi and his teammates who had come to celebrate shouted loudly.
"Dingling, Dingdong!"
"Dingling, Dingdong!"
The Lyrc fans also echoed the cheering slogans of the players.
Although they don't know the true meaning of this slogan, at the moment, it doesn't matter.
Celebrating the upcoming Christmas champion is what I desire the most in my heart.
Ranieri also excitedly shouted slogans at the players.
What makes him happy is that the team's current atmosphere and fighting spirit have formed an irresistible momentum.
Everton, who conceded the goal, although they had a high rate of possession, were never able to break through the goal of Ryicester City.
Head coach Martinez resolutely played the defensive point of Vasilevski, and let Lukaku and Deulofeu take turns to attack.
In the 32nd minute, Everton took the ball from the side and passed to the penalty area, Aruna Koné was in front of the post, attracting Morgan's defence.
At the back post, Romelu Lukaku took advantage of a diagonal run to get in front of Vasilewski and head home the equaliser.
It was a well-planned Everton cross from the wing, capitalising on Vasilewski's weakness in movement and slow turning, and it was Romelu Lukaku who 'Little Monster' snatched the spot.
"Ngolo, pay attention to the defense, ding-zero jingle!"
Ranieri also used this way to remind his players to keep their attention up at all times.
In the first half, the score of the two sides was 1:1.
Ranieri was in the dressing room, emphasizing the tactics of the second half, which was still the defense in front of the penalty area.
N'Golo Kante and Andy King had to form a protective barrier in the middle to keep the opposition's passes impenetrable.
On the counter-attack, Rossi dropped back and played the first pass to Vardy, who cut in forward, or to either of the two wings.
In the 65th minute, Ross Barkley chose to pass the ball when team-mate Romelu Lukaku was not fully in a good position, which was broken by Vasilewski's outstretched foot.
After Andy King took control of the ball, he looked up and saw the unguarded Rossi for the first time.
bang
bang
Bang!
Andy King passes, Rossi knocks the ball across and Albrighton deflects a long pass.
Three passes tore through Everton's entire defence in an instant.
Mahrez slammed into the penalty area and formed a one-on-one knife to use a feint to shake off the defence, but was saved by the onrushing goalkeeper.
Yellow card plus penalty!
Mahrez personally took charge and hit steadily, and Lyicester City 2:1 overtook the score.
After falling behind again at home, Everton made immediate changes, with Lennon and Milaras coming on to replace Deulofeu and Aruna Koné.
In the 75th minute, Lukaku went straight into the penalty area from the middle, and then pressed the opponent's two central defenders to defend, creating space for Mirallas on the left.
The latter received a pass from Ross Barkley and volleyed home to level the score again.
2:2!
Goodison Park is boiling again.
Lukaku's threat to the penalty area is far greater than Ranieri could have imagined.
Even if Vasilewski is replaced, there are no players on the bench who can replace him.
In the 78th minute, Ranieri did not choose to stick to it, but made a counter-adjustment on the left wing.
Winger Nathan Dyer, replaces Albrighton.
Just two minutes into his game, Dier broke through on the right and crossed for Riyad Mahrez to cut in and get pushed in from behind by Mori.
Yellow card plus penalty!
It was still Riyad Mahrez who took the penalty he created and scored it safely.
3:2!
!
The Everton players were a bit discouraged.
Just equalized, and was overtaken, no matter how you chase it, you just can't catch up.
In the 85th minute, when Shinji Okazaki on the sidelines was preparing to come on as a substitute, Lyicester City's attack was slowly advancing towards Everton's defence.
During this time period, the players' physical consumption is too large, and there is no pressure in the first half, but shrinking the defense and saving physical energy to counterattack.
Nathan Dyer broke down the wing, near the baseline, didn't have a good cross, and fed the ball back to full-back Danny Simpson.
The latter observes the defense while taking the lead, and the defenders in the penalty area are already in position and marking the attacking players.
At this point, Andy King cut in from outside the box and motioned for a team-mate to pass the ball.
Danny Simpson passes a low ball forward.
However, this kind of passing not only requires the passer's footwork to be good, but also to avoid the defenders in front of him, so that the receiver can receive the ball comfortably.
But Simpson's pass landed relatively far back, and his teammates not only didn't receive it, but also cut through the defense and went straight to the back post.
Bang!
A foot suddenly appears on the ball's trajectory and slotted it into the net.
The whole goal process happened so quickly that the Everton players didn't know what was going on in the meantime.
Even the on-site commentator roared filial piety after seeing the scene of the defense.
【goal!
!
! 】
[It's Rossi again, he scored the second goal of the game!] 】
[It's a game-killing goal!] 】
[It's the goal that made Lycester City the Christmas champions!] 】
[Rossi simply stood in front of the goal, casually stretched out his right foot, and sent the ball into the net.] 】
[This goal is simply unbelievable. 】
After the goal, Rossi ran to his own fan stand and shouted,
"Ding Zero!"
Next, the Lyrcester City fans who went to Goodison Park responded without thinking:
"Clank!"
After scoring the game-winning goal, Rossi was replaced by Shinji Okazaki.
Everton, who had been unable to recover, scored a goal in injury time by substitute Shinji Okazaki.
5:2!
!
At the moment when the referee blew the end of the game, the Lyicester players cheered excitedly on the pitch.
They don't need to look at the results of Manchester City and Arsenal anymore.
They are Christmas champions.
Although they know that the team will drop from the top position after the next two games.
But they still enjoy the moment, and they enjoy the glory.
The next day's news, the front page headlines, was all about Lyicester City becoming Christmas champions, causing a sensation in English football.
Even if many media believe that they will give up the top spot in the next games with Liverpool and Manchester City.
But it does not affect their deep admiration for this team with the slogan of relegation.
Bookmakers, in the latest odds to win the championship, Lyicester City has shrunk from 1:5000 to 1:50, a full 100 times.
And Pixie's hand, the 50,000-pound ticket made them tremble.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
