"Beep! Beep ——! ”

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the half in the 46th minute of the first half.

Before returning to the dressing room, Ranieri hurriedly waved to the bench, "Take Odegaard and Achraf to warm up, the heat is better, and the second half is going to be played." ”

The assistant coach quickly called out to the two and led them to jog around the court.

The eyes of the two young players were full of excitement and joy, and this kind of crucial game was definitely what they dreamed of.

After the defeat against Chelsea in the previous round, there is not a day that they do not look forward to a new opportunity.

"Jose, give him the tactical instructions I will arrange, let them know what to do when they get on the field!" Ranieri's voice came from the distance again.

The assistant coach made an OK gesture, and then said while demonstrating the movements for the two: "Do you see what the problem is in the first half?" ”

The two youngsters shook their heads slightly, they could only see that the team's defense was doing well and did not give Manchester United too many chances.

As for the offense?

It doesn't seem to be a big problem to play, but it's also because Manchester United's backline is in too good shape today?

"Jose Mourinho is a master of space strangulation, and he used the most brutal way today, which is to stack up the numerical advantage."

The assistant coach pointed to the position on the right side of the pitch and explained to the two: "When Chen Yufeng gets the ball, there are four Manchester United players who will quickly tighten the defense. ”

"Not only did it limit Chen Yufeng's breakthrough, but it also limited his transfer passes."

'It's a more extreme style of play, and the United players on this flank will suffer a huge physical drain, but they did it anyway.

The assistant coach looked at the two with high hopes in his eyes, "You can't bet on when the opponent will finish their fitness in the game, we have to deal with it." ”

"Achraf, after you get on the pitch, you keep an eye on Rashford and do it, if he comes up to attack, you will retreat, and when he goes back to defend Chen Yufeng, you will run up with him and step forward to take him away."

"Odegaard, get stuck in the ribs behind Herrera, and let Herrera or Bailly keep an eye on you."

Speaking of this, there was also some confidence in his eyes, "As long as the number of defenders around Chen Yufeng is about two, he has a chance to create a threat, understand?" ”

"Hmm!" There was some firmness in the eyes of the two, although this is a leaf-like character, but they are willing to make green leaves for the captain Chen Yufeng!

They enjoyed the feeling very much, and they were able to free up captain Chen Yufeng through their own efforts and let him lead the team to victory.

What is it called?

This is called saving Private Chen Yufeng!

…………

"Beep!"

The second half kicks off fifteen minutes later, with Odegaard coming on in place of Drinkwater, while Achraf came on for the attacking Fox.

Both of them are forward-inserted, and their play actually confirms Ranieri's ambition from the side.

A draw is not enough, while being on the defensive, Leicester City have to play out and create the threat they deserve to win for the team!

"Captain! I'm coming! After Odegaard came on the field, he greeted Chen Yufeng with a smile.

"Pass two."

Chen Yufeng waved at him, a little expecting Ode's ability to pass the ball.

How well these two youngsters can play today is the key to whether he can complete the task.

Football is a team game, no matter how good a person is, he can't jump out of the team.

No matter how top a star is, if he is put on a weak team, he will not be able to lead the team to victory.

If a person can do everyone's job and score past the opponent's defence every time, then it's not football, it's fantasy football.

"Pogba! Take on the defensive task and lean over here! ”

Jose Mourinho on the sidelines also anticipated Leicester's intentions after the game started, and he waved Pogba at the other end to get closer to Chen Yufeng on this side.

When defending, continue to increase the number of left wing-backs in your team!

Pogba, who was still the world's top midfielder at this time, received this command and approached Chen Yufeng's side while defending.

However, the attributes of his nerve knife are still hard to believe that he can stabilize the defense here.

"Bang!"

In the 54th minute of the game, the position of Manchester United's right wing-back was attacked by Leicester City.

Odegaard's deflected ball found its way to Mahrez's feet, who quickly opened the floor for Valencia.

Brick Knife is an attacking wing-back, he has defensive ability, but definitely not much.

Under Mahrez's attack, he quickly surrendered his position.

Immediately, Mahrez aimed at Klose in the middle of the pitch and sent a high ball into the air.

The ball made its way through the United defence, past the onrushing David de Gea and down to Klose's head.

Competing with Klose is Manchester United centre-back Eric Bailly.

"Klose!!"

A shout rang out behind Klose, "Leak!! ”

Klose pretended not to hear, jumped high and headed for the top of the ball, squeezing Bailly's jump height with his body to make it difficult for the opponent to get the ball.

Moments before touching the ball, Klose's head tilted backwards and missed it.

"Bang!!"

Before he could hit the ground, Klose heard a touch of the ball, followed by a second - "Phew! ”

Looking back, Chen Yufeng had already rushed to the side of the court surrounded by Odegaard.

This goal obviously caused Manchester United's backline to miss someone.

Blind didn't anticipate that Klose would really leak the ball, so Chen Yufeng easily sent the ball into the net at the back post.

The ball is in!

Two to one!

Chen Yufeng's tenth goal in the Premier League this season!

Six rounds on double!

That's a horrible statistic!

“Yeahhhhhhh……！” The celebration of the Leicester City Expeditionary Force sounded, and Chen Yufeng raised his right hand high on the side, making a gesture of three.

It represents his ambition, he won't settle for a goal, he's going to get a hat-trick!

"Unbelievable! This is Chen Yufeng's tenth goal of the season! ”

Sina commentary seat, Zhan Jun excitedly began his commentary, "Chen Yufeng's goal helped Leicester City take the lead!" ”

"We can clearly notice that after entering the season, Chen Yufeng has become the main target of major teams, which has hindered his assists on the wing."

"Other teams won't give him too much space on the bottom line and let him easily pass the ball into the box."

"But this morbid targeting also led to the liberation of Mahrez on the other side, which was Mahrez's seventh assist of the season!"

Director Zhang Lu next to him shook his head and began to sigh: "Hehe...... Manchester United was actually quite embarrassed, and took the initiative to let go of Mahrez, wanting to kill Chen Yufeng. ”

"Unexpectedly, in the end, it was not only Mahrez who successfully seized the opportunity to break through the defense, but it was Chen Yufeng who scored."

"It doesn't seem to have made any difference to going around and coming back again."

"But this tactic must be continued, and if Chen Yufeng, who has been in great form recently, play, then he may have to play two or even three goals."

After the explanation of the two, Chen Yufeng had already run back to his position, waiting for the restart.

His posture is not like he has just taken the lead, but he is far behind.

After all, it may not be common for people to be so anxious after taking the lead.

Mourinho himself on the side of the pitch was speechless, and he was even more angry when he saw this scene.

He pointed at Chen Yufeng, turned his head and said, "This kid doesn't really want to complete a three-game hat trick, right?" ”

After making an exaggerated shrug, Mourinho turned around again and took in the game.

He also made subsequent substitutions, with Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial coming off the bench to strengthen the consistency of their position up front and await opportunities to threaten.

In fact, there is a very important point, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Leicester City can play a good record in the new season, mainly due to the wonderful performance of Chen Yufeng and others.

But aside from that, the balance of their offense and defense is key.

It's a very difficult team to deal with, and any team's top attacking players feel difficult against their backline.

To break through this defense, you may have to make some defensive sacrifices.

Yes, after the sacrifice, with the quality of the top players, you can break down the Leicester defence, and they are not invincible.

It's possible to score three or four of them in a row in a game.

But what about defense?

If you want to get into Leicester three or four, how much defensive focus do you have to sacrifice?

Chen Yufeng, Mahrez, as well as Klose and others, seize your chance, how many goals can they score?

Football may be like this, the trend of yin and yang is very obvious, and any operation has the potential to lead to the collapse of other aspects.

Any top football coach struggles with this kind of question every day.

The game went on like this, with the substitutions gradually stabilizing possession in midfield and they were able to create some threats at times.

Pogba also seems to have found some attacking touch at this time, and can often play a wonderful transmission combination with the likes of Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial.

But equally, Leicester's counter-attacks gradually became sharper, and each time it seemed to create a good chance, only to miss the last last kick.

The two teams combined for more than ten minutes to shoot more than six shots on goal.

It looks like they're not far from scoring.

In the seventy-fourth minute of the game, the end was gradually approaching.

Wayne Rooney, a veteran who has been playing for Manchester United for many years, has played his part.

His through ball forced Morgan to pull on left-sided youngster Marcus Rashford to create a well-placed free-kick for United.

"Come on, young, I've seen your free-kicks in training, go for penalties like your idol Cristiano Ronaldo."

Wayne Rooney picked up the ball and handed it to Marcus Rashford.

Marcus Rashford took a deep breath and walked to the penalty spot with the football in his arms, facing Leicester's wall and goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded quickly, and Rashford stood very straight, indeed with a bit of Ronaldo's shadow back then.

When Rashford was a child, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was still a little Ronaldo at the time, once interacted with the youngsters of the academy, and he showed his fancy dribbling in front of Rashford's eyes.

At that time, Rashford didn't understand anything, he just thought it was cool, and when he got older and more mature, he also began to imitate the way Ronaldo played at that time.

That top-level lift ball is what he has been practicing day and night on the training ground.
