Chapter 150: 2-0 lead at halftime! Chelsea beat Watford! (Ask for a commuter pass)
"Audience friends! You're tuned in to the 34th round of the Premier League! By Leicester City at home to Tottenham Hotspur! ”
"I'm commenting on Zhan Jun, and sitting next to me is Zhang Lu's guide."
'It's Tottenham's penultimate game of the year and they're almost away from resting.'
'But it's different on Leicester's side, it's only their penultimate game of the season and they still have two crucial cup games to come.
"But for them, the two games outside of the cup tie are still title battles, and this is their final step towards the Premier League title."
"Whether this string can be stretched depends on whether their players can hold on!"
“……”
'Tottenham lined up a three-four-two-one formation today, goalkeeper Lloris, and the three centre-backs were Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Dier.
'Four midfielders, Dembele and Wanyama in the middle, Ben Davies and Musassisoko on either side.
"On the forward line, Son Heung-min partners with Ali, and Kane is at the top of the front line."
'It's an attacking and defensive formation, but based on the recent form of Leicester City, I'm more convinced that Pochettino is going to be in the driver's line, and they're going to be in a five-two, or even five-three, group of seven or eight when defending.
'Leicester's side, goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, the two centre-backs Morgan and Hut, and Chilwell and Achraf on either side.
'In midfield, Albrighton, Kante, Odegaard, Mahrez.
"Two centre-forwards, Jamie Vardy and Chen Yufeng."
“……”
At the King Power Stadium, the penultimate Premier League game of the season has begun.
Leicester sent the ball in the centre circle and threatened the Tottenham defence with long balls from the start.
Tottenham's players, for the sake of safety, chose to settle down to defend at the beginning, and did not fight against Leicester City because they had no desire or desire.
It's a new way of trying out next season, and it can't be too casual.
But there is also a drawback to this, if you can't press it out, you can't control the second penalty kick enough.
After Leicester City played a long pass, even if they couldn't create any threat, the ball cleared by Tottenham would be quickly controlled by them and play a wave of secondary attacks.
It is even possible to play three attacks and four attacks.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Boom! ”
As a result, Tottenham's goal looked dangerous from the start, with a steady stream of shots flying around Lloris.
Some will go straight to the bottom line, while others will test Lori with full sincerity.
Fortunately, their defensive formation was quite solid, and Leicester City did not give Leicester an absolute good chance in the opening stages.
The two sides gradually entered into the entanglement of the last twenty or thirty minutes.
"Forward press! At least two points must be controlled! ”
Pochettino, who found the problem, waved his hand on the sidelines, signaling his disciples to charge forward and compete for two points.
It's too tiring to kick without controlling the ball.
If this continues, Tottenham will be exhausted in the 65th minute.
Then give up some steadyness and fight with your opponent on two points.
Football is like that, it's a sport where you have to constantly find a balance, and for coaches, you have to be sensitive to what the team lacks in one area and make up for it with minimal cost.
If you don't pay attention, you may have irreversible consequences.
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
After gradually controlling the second penalty, Tottenham also played a number of very quick positional attacks.
Kane, who was in good form today, hit the post with a volley, which scared the Leicester players into a cold sweat.
No one wants to fall behind and then try to turn around.
It was already a tough game last time, they almost lost the initiative to the Premier League title, and this one, they don't want to put themselves in a difficult situation again.
"Looking for Chen Yufeng! Find Vardy! Ranieri waved from the sidelines and he started to stop the team's dribbling and passing in central midfield.
Speed is the greatest pursuit of Leicester City and the world's strongest team.
Since there can't be speed in passing, they have to bring up the tempo.
Most players also know this, just standing on the field to play, it is inevitable that they will be confused and confused.
Claudio Ranieri must always remind his players to pull out of the chaos and deliver a lethal blow every time.
"Bang!"
In the 44th minute of the game, Odegaard's long curling ball found the top of Chen Yufeng's head.
Chen Yufeng quickly looked back at him, and then decided to throw it at Mahrez who came from the side.
This kind of ball is not easy to control, and even Chen Yufeng does not dare to say that he is eighty percent sure.
Thankfully, this rub worked pretty well.
Riyad Mahrez received the ball and played it straight down the middle, and Vardy, the Blue Foxes sharpshooter, smashed the goal of Lloris' handle!
1 to 0!
Leicester City take the lead!
"Fuck! It's finally here! I've been waiting for a long time! ”
After the goal, Jamie Vardy roared in the air and then rushed to the sideline to the cheers, snuggling on the turf and sliding his entire front body.
After Chen Yufeng switched to the middle, Jamie Vardy had a lot fewer appearances and he scored a lot fewer goals.
Jamie Vardy didn't dispute the lack of playing time.
He respects Ranieri's decision and is well aware that there can be no rift in the team and that all the players need to do is obey.
Besides, Chen Yufeng's effect after changing to the middle is very good, if it weren't for this decision, maybe they wouldn't even be able to beat Atletico Madrid.
What's so bad about that?
What Vardy can't accept is that his form has deteriorated and he has scored fewer goals.
It's been a long time since he's celebrated like this!
It's a moment of release and a heroic moment!
Everyone knows that every goal scored during the championship at the end of the season is worth a thousand gold!
"I would never slide like that." Chen Yufeng pointed to Vardy's back and said to Mahrez.
"Why?" Mahrez turned his head curiously.
"Because it will get stuck, the glide will definitely not be as smooth as yours." Chen Yufeng raised his eyebrows helplessly.
Mahrez didn't react at the first time, and found that after coming, Chen Yufeng had already left far away.
"This stinking bastard." Mahrez chased after him.
…………
"Bang!"
Kane re-sent the ball in the centre circle for Tottenham, and Ali, who received the ball, turned around and slotted the ball to Musassisoko.
At the same time, the whole Leicester City squad pressed at a rapid pace, and they quickly broke down the Tottenham front line and made their way to the Tottenham midfield.
Mousassissoko's passing became difficult, as if every point was being targeted by Leicester's players.
"Here!"
Dale came behind him to answer, and he ignored Chen Yufeng's follow-up defense beside him, confidently believing that he could clear the front court with a big foot at the first time.
Moussassissoko also chose to believe Dier, mainly because he couldn't handle football anymore, and he even had his route blocked by Albrighton.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound followed, not the sound of Dale's pass, but the sound of physical contact.
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Dale's stiff body slammed to the ground, as heavy as a bronze statue that had been toppled.
He didn't have time to kick the ball at all, and he was knocked down by Chen Yufeng with a physical confrontation.
Just teed off!
Leicester City have regained possession!
And it is still in the opponent's backfield, and you can directly launch a threatening attack!
"Come back! Come back! ”
Alderweireld quickly waved his hand in response to his teammates, and by the time he shouted for the second time, Chen Yufeng had already come to him.
After a brief shake, Aldervillerd paused, then closed his eyes.
Without looking, he knew very well that Chen Yufeng had already wiped past him.
A breeze came from Alderweireld's left, and he quickly turned in this direction, reaching out to grab it.
In the panic, he didn't see that Chen Yufeng had already entered the forbidden area at this time.
The direction in which he stretched out his hand also happened to be Chen Yufeng's head.
"Ah......h
The moment Alderweireld's right hand touched Chen Yufeng's head, Chen Yufeng fell to the penalty area holding his head.
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle and pointed his right hand to the penalty spot.
Penalty kick!
Chen Yufeng won a penalty for Leicester City!
“Yeah……!” The Leicester fans at the scene shouted as if they had seen the 2-0 score on the scoreline.
After beating Tottenham, there is only one final Premier League game left for this season...... That opponent was Bournemouth.
It's a weak team, it's going on normally, and winning is definitely not a problem!
In other words, as soon as Chen Yufeng's penalty was made, Leicester City fans already seemed to see that the champion was beckoning to them.
"Bang!!"
A minute later, in the first minute of first-half stoppage time, Chen Yufeng stood in front of the penalty spot.
He went straight to the penalty in the top right corner with a powerful kick and scored the ball!
"The artist is bold!" This is the evaluation given by Zhan Jun.
"The 40th goal in the Premier League is here, the first striker in history to score 40 goals in a single season in the Premier League, Chen Yufeng will definitely go down in history." This is the evaluation given by Zhang Lu.
The first half of the game ended like that.
Ranieri is ready to replace Chen Yufeng and Mahrez in preparation for the upcoming title match.
…………
"Beep! Beep! Beep ——! ”
Meanwhile, at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home stadium, the referee blew three whistles for the end of the game.
That was supposed to start forty-five minutes before the Leicester City game started.
In order to make it easier for fans around the world to watch the game, the Premier League's schedule has such a habit that if there are more games in a single day, it will start every 45 minutes.
“Yeah——!!” On the pitchside, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte dragged a long note in celebration.
He put his arms on his chest and hunched his waist as if he wanted to burst his throat.
Lore!
Willian assists Cesc Fabregas to beat today's opponent Watford 4-3!
Chelsea keep their hopes alive for the title!
It's crucial for the team!
Soon, Conte got up with a flushed face, smiled and turned to ask, "How is Leicester City?" ”
Someone next to him seemed to be unable to speak, "It's halftime, it's 2-0." ”
"Who's two?" Conte's expression sharpened, and the joy he had just felt diluted.
"Leicester City. Chen Yufeng and Jamie Vardy each scored a goal. The man next to him continued.
"!"
Thinking that there is one last game left, Conte's heart is no different from eating.
This feeling of being in the hands of others is really unpleasant.
The players on the pitch were quick to learn of Leicester's 2-0 lead over Tottenham, and the joy on their faces quickly faded.
Courtois, in particular, almost broke the defense and threw his gloves into the stands, as if this was the only way to make him feel better.
