Chapter 164 It’s hard for Leicester City to succeed!
"Defoe and Larsson are indeed not offside!"
"Morgan is lagging behind, just on the same level as Defoe and Larsson!"
In the LeTV Sports live broadcast room, when they saw the replay of the camera, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu spoke at the same time.
While they were talking, they were worried about Chu Zheng's future.
For such a team, if Chu Zheng wants to continue to make a difference in the Premier League and compete for some honors, it will probably be several times more difficult than when he was at Wolfsburg.
Until now, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu still can’t figure out what Chu Zheng’s purpose is in joining Leicester City.
After much deliberation, they all felt that Chu Zheng should have used Leicester City as a springboard.
Maybe Chu Zheng will not stay in Leicester City for too long.
The Leicester City fans in the stands were quite speechless when they saw this kind of mistake in the team's defense through the big screen.
They just hope that this season will not be like last season, where they stayed in the relegation zone for most of the year, causing them immense suffering and worry.
As for winning the Premier League championship, they have never dared to have such an idea in their minds. The probability of winning a lottery worth hundreds of millions of pounds is even smaller.
On the field, Leicester City's goal was quietly shrouded in crisis again.
Sunderland took a corner kick from the right.
In the penalty area, Sunderland central midfielders Rodwell and Jones ran directly forward, taking away De Laet and Andy King.
Sunderland's two centre-backs, Kaboul and Coates, who stayed on the left side of the penalty spot, ran back.
There was obviously a trick to this corner kick.
But Huth and Morgan were experienced and saw through Sunderland's intentions instantly.
Sure enough, the corner kick entered the penalty area and went straight to the back post.
On the left side of the small penalty area, Morgan and Kabul huddled together and moved quickly towards the landing area.
In the blink of an eye, the four of them decided the winner.
Sunderland made calculations mentally but not intentionally. Coates blocked Huth and Morgan in front of him, allowing teammate Kaboul to run behind him and take off to successfully reach the top.
The ball went straight to the center of the goal.
In front of the goal line, Schmeichel quickly fell to the left and accurately pushed the ball that bounced in front of the goal line and was about to cross the goal line.
"Bluff!!!!!!!!!!!!" screams were heard from all sides of the stands.
On the right side of the small penalty area, facing the ball thrown away by Schmeichel, Rodwell took off again and hammered the ball towards the goal.
But in his haste, he failed to hit the angle, and the ball was firmly held in the arms of Schmeichel, who stood up quickly.
"Teams like Sunderland, who are fighting for relegation in the Premier League every year, are superb at developing set pieces."
"Yes, when playing against this kind of team, you must pay special attention to this kind of high ball. If you don't pay attention, he will hit you several times!"
On the field, after successive crises, Leicester City players became more cautious and focused when handling the ball.
As a result, the balance of the game began to tilt towards Leicester City.
In the 12th minute of the game, Albrighton got the ball and made a strong breakthrough on the left wing, causing Jones to be forced to commit a tactical foul.
Thirty seconds later, Albrighton took a set kick from the wing more than 30 meters away from the goal.
On the left free throw arc, Vardy quickly moved forward. On the left side of the penalty area, at least eight or nine meters away from the goal, he jumped in front of Jones and midfielder Cattermole with his back to the goal.
I don’t know whether he did it intentionally or not, but the ball hit his head and immediately shot up, falling in a high parabola and hitting the goalpost.
His move was a stroke of genius. Not only did the ball pass over the defenders in the middle and behind, it also avoided Sunderland goalkeeper Pantilimon's fingers, and hit the inside of the back post directly, bouncing into the net.
"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The moment the goal was scored, the King Power Stadium went into a boil.
Every Leicester City fan was delighted by Vardy's sudden goal.
On the bench, Chu Zheng also looked shocked. Vardy was so lucky to score this goal.
On the court, what Chu Zheng fears most is this kind of lucky ball.
This kind of ball is simply impossible to guard against!
On the sidelines, Ranieri, who was wearing glasses and had a kind face, crossed his chest and smiled happily.
Chu Zheng was not used in this game. He was protecting Chu Zheng and wanted Chu Zheng to be fully familiar with his teammates and his tactical system before making his debut in the Premier League.
Before the game, Ranieri, who had fulfilled his long-cherished wish to return to the Premier League, was actually a little worried.
But now it seems that he was right about the players. Although some of the players on the field were abandoned by other clubs, they still have considerable strength.
After scoring this goal, Leicester City seemed to have been opened up on the field, becoming more and more courageous as they fought.
In the 18th minute of the game, Leicester City launched another attack from the left.
After Shinji Okazaki was surrounded by three Sunderland players in the left rib area at the top of the arc, he quickly passed the ball back before the circle closed.
Schlupp used the outside of his left foot to stop the ball and divide the ball.
Albrighton received Schlupp's pass on the left sideline.
Facing Jones who quickly rushed in front of him, Albrighton moved the outside of his right foot forward to the right, then quickly followed up, raised his right foot and sent the ball into the Sunderland penalty area again.
The front edge of the small restricted area.
Vardy is in the forward position, followed by Sunderland right center back Coates.
But Vardy did not touch the ball after taking off.
The ball fell to Mahrez and Sunderland left center back Kaboul behind Vardy and Coates.
Mahrez is on the left and Kaboul is on the right.
Mahrez, who had a positional advantage, dived directly to the top of the ball when it fell in front of him.
Immediately the ball flew into Sunderland's goal again from the lower corner on the right side of the goal.
"Beautiful!! It's Albrighton again, accurate cross!"
"Vardy also played a covering role with this ball!" Zhang Lu said with a cheerful smile.
Seeing this point in the game, Zhang Lu suddenly felt that Leicester City was not as unbearable as some domestic media reported.
With this year in his mind, he suddenly felt that maybe Chu Zheng was right to join Leicester City.
"Chu! We seem to have a chance to play!" On the bench, after Kanter celebrated with his teammates, he looked at Chu Zheng with a smile, full of excitement.
Chu Zheng nodded and said nothing.
If Vardy and the others score two more, then Ranieri may have to train in the second half, and he and Kanter will definitely have a chance to play.
But if not, then with Ranieri's cautious character, he may not let them play easily.
And can Vardy and the others do it?
Chu Zheng thought it was possible.
Although his time in Leicester City was short, Chu Zheng had to switch to playing as a defensive midfielder, so as soon as Chu Zheng joined the team, he began to pay careful attention to the habits and technical characteristics of each teammate in the game.
For example, which foot he likes to use to catch the ball, his speed, etc., these are all things Chu Zheng needs to know.
Only in this way can Chu Zheng send tailored passes based on the characteristics of these teammates.
He is personally very satisfied with these teammates.
Chu Zheng feels that many unknown players in the Leicester City team are no worse than Wolfsburg players in terms of technical ability, and there are even better players.
For example, Vardy, this guy is a level above Dost in both his running and shooting skills, not to mention Vardy's super speed.
As for captain Morgan, Chu Zheng feels that the Jamaican player is not weaker than Nardo in terms of defense.
In addition, there was another person who caught Chu Zheng's attention.
That's Mahrez.
This guy Chu Zheng vaguely remembered that he stayed at Leicester City for a year after it fell apart, and then he seemed to go to Manchester City.
Those who can pass the inspection of wealthy teams will definitely not be ordinary people.
Therefore, the more clearly Chu Zheng understood Leicester City, the more he understood why this season, Leicester City, a club unknown in world football, could create a miracle in the history of football and cause a sensation all over the world.
world.
With so many outstanding players dormant in the team, and with the right head coach chosen, it will be difficult for Leicester City to succeed.
