For the next ten minutes or so, the game maintained a certain rhythm.
Leicester City has Chu Zheng in the midfield, so they have control of the midfield.
But Aston Villa's midfield press is very fierce. They have been trying to regain control of the midfield, and they are also using this fierce pressing method to contain Leicester City's attack.
It's a pity that they are facing Chu Zheng.
Although Chu Zheng's playing style in the midfield today was not at all crazy and aggressive, his calm and calm dispatch made the Aston Villa players even more uncomfortable.
No matter how they scramble, the Chinese midfielder can always find a safe area on the field to pass the ball to.
A few times, I even turned around and passed the ball without any prior observation.
This surprised the Aston Villa players as it was their first time to see this kind of midfielder.
On the sidelines, Ranieri looked at Chu Zheng and was extremely satisfied.
Turning his eyes to Inle on the field, Ranieri frowned.
Today he put Drinkwater, Andy King, Kante and others on the bench for the last test.
He wanted to see if Yinle, a midfielder with solid defensive skills, would have a chemical reaction with Chu Zheng.
But after watching these dozens of minutes, Ranieri was disappointed.
Inle did not perform well on both the defensive and offensive ends.
If it was just like that, that would be it. Now because of this guy's poor condition, it has become a drag on Chu Zheng, making Chu Zheng often have to return to the backcourt to help the team pass the ball.
Before this game, Ranieri actually knew and saw who had a chemical reaction with Chu Zheng.
But Kanter is also extremely young.
Like Chu Zheng, he only played in Ligue 1 for one season.
In terms of experience, Ranieri believes that Chu Zheng and Kanter are absolutely inferior to veterans such as Inler, Drinkwater and Andy King.
Therefore, Ranieri has always wanted to find Chu Zheng an experienced midfield partner who is capable of liberating Chu Zheng.
Drinkwater, Andy King, and now Inler, he is not satisfied.
Kanter made him extremely satisfied.
Kanter is on the court, and with his large defensive coverage, he can form a strong protective effect behind Chu Zheng.
However, with two young midfielders playing at the same time, Ranieri was worried that the team's midfield would suffer from inexperience.
However, just when Ranieri was wandering away, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
In the 31st minute of the game, the Leicester City midfielder stole the ball from Inler and quickly launched a quick attack from the right.
Chu Zheng quickly moved to the wing and joined forces with Schlupp to block Westwood and Villa's right back Bacuna at a position of 40 meters on the wing.
When Westwood saw Chu Zheng approaching, he immediately became a little scared.
Before Agbonlahor, who was on the left front rib, could reach forward, he pushed the ball towards the right side of Leicester City's penalty area with one kick.
In the end, Morgan caught Agbonlaho behind him, caught up with the ball, and passed it across to Schmeichel in the penalty area.
Seeing that the offensive opportunity disappeared, the Villa players did not retreat, but continued high pressure on the spot.
At the front of the small penalty area, seeing Sinclair rushing towards him quickly, Schmeichel wanted to kick the ball into the frontcourt to end the situation.
But out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chu Zheng entering the left front ribs and raising his hand to ask for the ball from him. He immediately changed his attention, pulled back and pushed the ball towards Chu Zheng.
However, as soon as he pushed the ball out, Schmeichel saw Karls Gill rushing over from the wing behind Chu Zheng.
"Chu! Little..." Schmeichel immediately shouted to remind Chu Zheng.
But before he finished speaking, he saw the ball rolling in front of Chu Zheng and suddenly bouncing.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Zheng turned back and just managed to avoid Carls Gill's upward attack.
At this moment, Schmeichel was shocked. He had no idea how Chu Zheng knew someone was coming from behind.
"Wow!!!!!!!!!!"
Seeing the back-up Chu Zheng trying to get rid of the ball over the top, the fans at the scene were in a collective uproar just like Schmeichel.
Ranieri on the sidelines shook his head and smiled helplessly.
At this moment, Ranieri looked startled on the court, followed by a look of amazement.
On the court, Chu Zheng turned around gracefully, looked forward, raised his right foot and took out the ball that was falling in front of him.
Suddenly the ball spread across the two halves like a rainbow.
The ball landed on the left side of Villa's half-court circle.
But the most shocking thing is not Chu Zheng’s rainbow ball, but the magical effect caused by the ball bouncing off the ground.
Villa's right center back Micah Charlize is just in front of the landing point.
He initially thought that Chu Zheng's kick was a faulty pass.
So Micah Charlize, who was sandwiching Vardy with Lescott, stopped and prepared to push the ball back directly to buy time for his teammates to position the defense.
Then as soon as he took a step, he found that the path of the ball was not quite right, and the downward trend was very rapid, similar to the effect of a falling leaf ball.
The next second, before Micah Charlize could reach the landing point, the ball hit the ground first, bounced off the ground a second time, once again drew a small parabola in mid-air, and flew over Micah Charlize's head.
On Vardy's side, seeing that Micah Charlize did not retreat, he took advantage of the situation and leaned into the gap on this side, widening the distance between him and Lescott.
Then Vardy looked at the ball that bounced to his left front and fell, and his eyes went straight.
"Woldfake!" Waldy thought in his heart.
At this moment, he was really curious whether Chu Zheng had made a mistake or did it on purpose.
If it was intentional, then if he could score the ball later, he would definitely kneel down to Chu Zheng.
At this moment, Ranieri on the sidelines, Villa head coach Tim Sherwood and tens of thousands of fans at the scene all had the same thoughts as Vardy.
On the field, while running, Vardy used his left foot to direct the ball to the left rib area, and then accelerated with a second explosion.
On the right side of Vardy, Lescott desperately chased Vardy, but the more he chased Vardy, the farther he got.
In the penalty area, Villa goalkeeper Guzan saw that Vardy had successfully broken through, so he struck decisively.
On the end line of the penalty area on the left side of the arc, Vardy caught up with the ball.
Seeing Guzan bending over and opening his arms slightly to quickly reduce the angle of his shot, Vardy took a shot without saying a word.
However, the moment Vardy shot the ball, Guzan jumped up like a bent spring. The fingertips of his right hand that reached above his head touched the ball that flew over his head.
The next second, there was a bang! The ball hit the top of the goal crossbar and bounced off the baseline.
"Bluff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rapid exclamations resounded throughout the audience.
Seeing that the ball didn't go in, Chu Zheng shook his head and smiled.
Vardy also looked depressed, but he didn't forget to turn around and give Chu Zheng a thumbs up, indicating that the ball was passed very well.
"Teacher Zhang, do you think Chu Zheng played this ball intentionally?" In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, He Wei looked at Zhang Lu with curiosity after watching the replay.
"This! Uh! I guess only Chu Zheng himself knows!" Zhang Lu's face turned a little rosy at this time, "But I personally think Chu Zheng did it on purpose, because based on Chu Zheng's past accuracy of long passes, he
Although the long pass has not yet reached the level of precise guidance, it will not pass the ball with such poor accuracy."
"Chu Zheng's long pass was like a hook, which directly deceived Micah Charlize. He added a very strong spin to the ball, causing the ball to pass through Leicester City's half and then fall quickly, and then bounce to Val.
In front of Di!"
"Chu Zheng's calculation ability is very terrifying!"
"He's betting that Micah Charlize will fall for it!"
"What a pity, Vardy's shot was beautiful, but Guzan also made a world-class save!"
