Chapter 229: One Hit Wins, Fox Wins
If Leicester City were to fight a positional battle, Benitez would not be afraid at all.
The 4-2-3-1 defensive level can effectively intercept the opponent's advancing speed and space, and form an effective interference with crosses.
And Lyrcester City does not have a high point of contention in the center forward position.
Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, after the start of the second half, frequently began to attack the opponent's rib space and try to create fouls in front of the court.
Benitez used a midfielder to interfere and drive away the Lyrc player who was holding the ball in the ribs, and forced him close to the defensive area of the other midfielder, and then clamped it without giving the opponent any chance to foul.
Mahrez broke through with the ball several times, but was driven to the middle, was caught by two people, and had no choice but to pass back.
In the 50th minute, Mahrez, who was once again heavily defended, hit the ball to the left under the sandwich of the two, and used Albrighton's speed to tear apart the defense.
Newcastle's right-back Janmaatt was forced inside to protect the middle by Rossi's pressure into the box, letting go of the defense on the wing.
By the time he made a quick interception, Albrighton had already completed the cross.
Rossi flickered forward and Jamie Vardy flanked in the middle, but his cross was too close to goal and was punched out by the goalkeeper.
It was a good tactic to cross from the bottom, but there was no outflanking point in the middle and it didn't work in the slightest.
Benitez lifted his belt, his belly shaking slightly, and slowly walked back to the lounge area.
At this point, there was no need for his command.
The players are already familiar with the understanding and execution of defensive tactics.
Just as he was opening the cap and preparing to drink water, Rossi picked up the ball in the ribs and was knocked to the ground by a side-back tackle.
No one on the scene could see clearly whether the defender tackled the ball first or touched the man first.
But Rossi, who received the ball, had no intention of attacking the goal, so shouldn't he be warned when he tackled the ball from behind the side?
Hush!
The referee did not blow for a foul, which caused dissatisfaction among the home fans.
So far in the game, Rossi has been staring at him, as long as the ball stays at his feet for a second, the opponent's fierce defense will come in an instant.
Ranieri rushed to the fourth official on the sidelines and complained to him, why didn't he blow for a foul with such a vicious steal?
Even if the ball is tackled first, the referee should give the defender an appropriate warning.
It took a moment for Rossi to get up from the ground and try to move her ankle.
"Whew, it's okay, these grandchildren!" Rosie was unusually angry.
He was thirty-five meters away from the goal, and he received the ball with his back, and the tackle behind this side directly wasted his leg.
Amid the boos at home, Sissoko, the heart of Newcastle's midfield, fired a long-range shot from outside the box into the air.
The attacking team of Sissoko and others alone could not knock on the goal of Ryicester City.
As the game progressed, the physical fitness of the players on both sides slowly began to decline, and the pace began to slow down.
In the 75th minute, Lyicester City's high pressing was no longer as urgent as before, allowing Newcastle United to quickly play the ball from midfield and hand it to forward Ayose Perez.
N'Golo Kante's defence was omnipresent, taking advantage of the moment when his opponent let his guard down, he decisively reached out to intercept and passed the ball to Drinkwater, who cut forward.
Newcastle's midfielder Shelvey was also vigilant, accelerating forward at the first time and cutting off the ball before Drinkwater could receive the ball.
After conceding the ball, Drinkwater immediately counter-attacked in front, and at the same time, nearby teammates also formed a small area of wrapping up Shelvey who held the ball.
With no teammates around him, Xhervey passed the ball to Perez in front of him.
N'Golo Kante was at his side once again and broke the ball off again.
Taking advantage of the opponent's offensive and defensive transformation, there was a moment of looseness in the formation, and the ball was quickly released to the feet of the unguarded Rossi.
Rossi turned around after stopping the ball and faced the goal, at this time, Newcastle's defense, although it was all in place, but the defender Kolbak relaxed his marking of Rossi, resulting in the front of Lyrcester City, forming a 3v4 situation.
Centre-back Steven Taylor came out quickly to intercept Rossi's pass line head-on and direct his team-mates to cover the gaps behind him.
Rossi didn't stick to the ball with his feet, and quickly swung his leg with his right foot to send a through ball forward.
What?
Steven Taylor was taken aback and hurriedly fell to the ground and slid in an attempt to block Rossi's passing lane.
However, Rossi played the ball with the outside of his instep and the ball arced just in time to avoid his tackle and appear at the feet of Jamie Pier Vardy.
The amount in advance, just right!
In the process of inserting forward, Vardy's body adjusted his pace with the trajectory and speed of the ball, and without stopping the ball, he fired a low shot into the far corner of the goal.
Bang!
Comfortable hitting feeling, crisp hitting sound.
This goal must be scored!
As the ball passed through the body of the fallen goalkeeper, Vardy spread his arms and began to cheer.
Yes!
Accompanied by the roar of the royal power stadium, Vardy ran to the corner flag, spread his arms, and reigned supreme.

[Vardy didn't waste this exquisite assist either, scoring the ball steadily, and the goalkeeper couldn't do anything about it.] γ
[One hit must be hit, Lyicester City's efficient goal rate is not inferior to other strong teams. γ
"Luo, it's so good, it's exactly in line with my rhythm."
Vardy jumped up and gave Rossi a big hug, and his haughty expression instantly turned into a childlike smile.
That's how Ranieri tactics came in the second half.
With two high presses, quickly impact the opponent's defense.
A second before the goal, Benitez, who was still sitting peacefully in the rest area, quickly threw away the water bottle in his hand, rushed to the sidelines with a trembling stomach, and roared loudly.
Where is the defense after conceding a goal?
Where is the confrontation?
Where are the eyes?
Ayose Perez, as a striker, conceded twice in a row and did not counter-attack, which is where Benitez is really angry.
Ayose was replaced by Czekie de Jong three minutes later, but the momentum was over.
It was very difficult to equalise in the remaining fifteen minutes.
On the bench, Townsend and Dumbia had their pace and impact, but Lyrcester City also made quick substitutions, with Schlupp coming on for Albrighton.
The Ghanaian winger is getting better and better after returning from injury.
His ability to run and intercept can add an extra barrier in midfield, allowing Newcastle's attack to be futile.
In the 80th minute, amid the roaring applause at the King Power Stadium, Ulloa and Andy King came off the bench to replace Rossi and Vardy.
Under the tenacious defense of Lyicester City, they won 1-0 and won two consecutive victories.
At the end of the 30th round of the Premier League, Lyicester City continued to lead with 63 points.
Behind him, Tottenham and Arsenal, with 58 points, are in hot pursuit.
In the next match, Rossi is heading to London to take on Crystal Palace.
Claudio Ranieri's team can't afford to let up yet.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
