Chapter 46: Aston Villa's Three-Plate Axe (Seeking Reading)
Not long after.
At the King Power Stadium, the game has been going on for a long time.
"Bang!"
A somewhat heavy voice rang out, and a player in his trademark socks made a perfect arc near the Leicester penalty line.
Schmeichel scrambled to save, but the ball crashed into the net before him.
“Yeahhh……”
The Aston Villa Expedition fans erupted in a very loud burst of celebration, and everyone stood up from their seats with red faces and made weak gestures towards the Leicester fan area.
"Two to zero! Weak chicken! ”
"Isn't it unbeaten in five rounds? I don't know, I thought you were going to win the championship! ”
"Hahahaha, two to zero!"
"You don't have the slightest room to fight back!"
They celebrated their team's lead with great arrogance, shouting out to the silent Leicester fans.
And the player who scored the goal also rushed to the sideline to kneel to celebrate excitedly, looking very excited.
Obviously, everyone knows what this game means.
"Grealish! The ball is in! Aston Villa's three-board axe knocked Leicester City unconscious! ”
In the Sina Sports live broadcast room, Zhan Jun's voice sounded again, "In the thirty-fifth minute of the first half of the game, after Hill scored a push goal, Grealish rewrote the score to 2-0!" ”
'Aston Villa's attack was very ferocious and Leicester looked a bit difficult to cope with in this period.
"The problem of instability in their backline was vividly reflected in today's game, and the undefeated golden body may be gone!"
“……”
on the pitch.
Leicester fans bowed their heads in frustration and looked very lonely.
Most of the players on the field also looked at a loss, they had not encountered any obstacles in the previous games, and today, it can be said that they have suffered a lot.
Everyone had a muddy first half, including Chen Yufeng, who was on the left at this time, and he had very few chances to receive the ball today.
The Premier League is not a weak team, just look at the organising attack of Aston Villa in this game.
As a team at the bottom of the table, they can still play a small area with a lightning speed, and then score with an efficient final hit!
If a defender dares to be unfocused on this field, be ready to pay the price!
"Morgan, Hutter, don't get confused!"
Ranieri on the sidelines looked a little pained, and it was the first time that he had encountered such a big difference in the start of the season.
"You can do it, give me the first half!"
Ranieri feared that his team would fall into an even more terrible collapse, so he shouted at the pitch and then looked for him on the bench, "N'Golo Kante." ”
"Get up and warm up, I'll go up for you at the start of the second half, do you see their number forty? The player in the socks. ”
Ranieri pointed at Grealish and said to N'Golo Kante, "As long as you stay on the pitch for a minute, you're going to pester him like a fly for a minute." ”
"Make him uncomfortable, make him angry, make him lose everything, okay?"
"I see, boss." Kante looked at Jack Grealish, who was never afraid to defend against any player.
Ranieri nodded slightly and touched the back of Kante's head.
The team's chaotic midfield defense made him really start to think about whether to completely abandon the organization of the midfield and take a more concise and extreme path.
Looking at Kante beside him, he hesitated.
The next game is against Arsenal, a much stronger team and he has to think through any decision he makes.
"Beep! Beep ——! Shortly after, the whistle sounded, symbolizing the end of the half, and the players from both sides headed off the pitch.
Claudio Ranieri stopped thinking about it and was ready to think about it after the Arsenal game.
He went back to the locker room.
Soon, the players came back too, and everyone was silent, as if they didn't want to talk too much.
'The defence in this area was a bit too chaotic and the formation always leaked gaps when moving as a whole, which was the biggest reason for those two goals conceded.
Ranieri began to speak to the tactical board, his expression a little urgent, "In the second half, when attacking, Vardy was found more often, and their centre-backs were slow to catch up. ”
"And ......"
Ranieri definitely doesn't want to lose this kind of game.
Even if the situation is very bad now, he still wants to see a team with resilience.
"Come on guys! I want to see 100 per cent of your dedication and hard work on the pitch! ”
"Remember, don't ninety, don't ninety-five! It's a hundred concentrations! ”
Ranieri gave a few final applause, and the players gradually reacted and their expressions began to change.
After that, the captain of the team, Morgan, stood up and shouted to the players with a determined face.
'I hope we can play another comeback, even if we don't have much time left.'
"Look at the arrogant appearance of the fans on the other side, look at the taunts on the faces of their players, we must not let them walk out of the King Power Stadium easily!"
"Come on Leicester! Whatever the reason, against Aston Villa we have to go for the win, cheer up, brothers. ”
"Don't let our fans down, they're one of the best in all of Europe."
“……”
Wait until the end of the intermission.
When the players from both sides returned to the pitch, the Leicester players still didn't talk much.
It's just that everyone's face seems to have a touch of seriousness and firmness.
They woke up.
They knew a long time ago that the team had been twisted into a rope since last season, when they experienced a journey of relegation and points that were one step away from life and death.
Even though there are a lot of new players coming in this season, everyone still gets along very well.
There are no small groups, no contradictions, no individual heroism.
Everyone is fighting for this team and giving their best in their position.
Even because of their strength and experience, they sometimes spend a muddy half like they are now.
But after the adjustment, they can still believe in themselves and this team!
"Beep!"
The whistle at the start of the second half was soon blown, and the players from both sides were once again locked in a fight.
N'Golo Kante replaced Andy King and stepped onto the pitch next to Grealish.
It didn't take long for the Aston Villa players to quickly discover that this team was different from the first half, and gradually put them under a lot of pressure.
This made many Aston Villa players, who had just been relatively relaxed, once again bring out their best form and compete hard.
They weren't supporting characters, they were the same protagonists on the pitch in this game, everyone was going their best.
Seventy-first minute of the game.
Leicester looked as if they were on the verge of a dead end, with only twenty minutes left.
The disappointment on the faces of the fans is even more, and it is gradually about to turn to despair.
Canter.
The players who have been on the bench since the beginning of the season have stepped up at this moment.
He cut off Grealish's dribble in midfield and then used his explosiveness to push forward at high speed, and in the blink of an eye, he was up front.
Fast!
It was the first feeling that everyone at Aston Villa had about N'Golo Kante's game.
"Bang!" Immediately, Kante spotted a passing line and slid his shot straight ahead.
He is not good at organising, but after playing for many years, he can still find space in this position.
Ahead of him, Jamie Vardy picked up speed and kicked his legs past the opposition defender to catch the ball.
"Bang!"
A left-footed volley followed up and slotted the ball directly into the side-netting in the far corner of the goal!
Two to one!
Leicester City chase back one!
The long-lost voice of "yeshh......" rang out, and the Leicester fans erupted in cheers, their eyes rekindling hope for the game.
Vardy didn't celebrate too much, and after throwing his fist excitedly, he picked up the ball and ran towards the midfield.
He's going to kick off the ball quickly and cherish every minute of it.
