In the stands, seeing the improvement in their team's offense, Leicester City fans felt that a goal was not far away.
Maybe in the next second, the next minute.
These Leicester City fans' hunch was right.
The goal came really quickly!
only!
It's Stoke City's second goal!
On the field, after Stoke City goalkeeper Butland received a back pass from Mark Wilson, he looked up and drove the ball directly forward.
In the Leicester City half, in the back right area of the center circle arc, Huth and Walters once again competed for the top.
But this time neither of them touched the ball.
The ball hit the ground beside the two of them and bounced forward.
Morgan got there first.
Walters did not give up and rushed up from behind Morgan.
At this moment, Morgan, who felt threatened, made a move that made him feel ashamed and panicked a few seconds later.
Facing the second waist-high ball that bounced off the ground, Morgan jumped up and used his right foot to pass the ball back to Schmeichel in the penalty area.
As a result, he kicked the ball in front of everyone.
The ball changed its line to the right and flew out.
Walters had no idea that a pie would fall from the sky. When he reacted, he immediately rushed over from the right rear side of Morgan.
At the top of the arc in the middle, Walters caught up with the ball.
Facing Schmeichel on the penalty spot, Walters easily pushed the shot into the lower right corner of the goal and succeeded.
The moment the second goal was scored, Britannia, a small stadium that could only accommodate more than 28,000 fans, was shaken violently.
The ecstasy of Stoke City fans and the confused expressions of Leicester City fans formed a clear contrast.
On the court, when Chu Zheng saw this lost ball, his eyes were full of disbelief.
It was hard for him to believe that the always steady captain would make such a low-level mistake.
But that’s football! It’s always full of uncertain unknowns!
After conceding two goals in a row, Chu Zheng also began to send shells forward more frequently.
But these high-precision artillery shells sent by Chu Zheng were fired by gunners such as Vardy and Mahrez, who were obviously out of shape today. Instead, they hit the goal twice. Instead, they hit their own fans in the stands twice, killing the unlucky little boy.
I cried.
"Ranieri, Ranieri!" Zhang Lu shook her head in the LeTV Sports live broadcast room.
"Ranieri will definitely change to 442 in the second half!" Zhan Jun said with a smile.
Not long after, the first half of the game was over.
In the second half, Zhan Jun was right.
After halftime, Ranieri replaced Drinkwater with Albrighton and restored the 442 formation.
As a result, the players on the Leicester City field were resurrected with full health at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Without the intervention of Drinkwater as a third party, Chu Zheng and Kanter instantly had a clear division of labor again.
One is responsible for attacking, and the other is responsible for sweeping and protecting behind.
As Chu Zheng and Kanter teamed up to completely take over the midfield, the balance of the game quickly tilted towards Leicester City.
Not long after, the goal came naturally!
In the 52nd minute of the game, Schmeichel faced the ball pushed back by Morgan and directly hit the front of Stoke City's offensive third.
Mahrez won the duel with Eric Peters and headed the ball towards the area near the Stoke City center circle.
Chu Zheng chased the ball laterally.
Stoke midfielder Bojan in the center also rushed towards the ball.
But Chu Zheng is obviously much faster.
After Chu Zheng was in position, he suddenly turned his back and made a ball-protecting movement to block Bo Yang behind him.
As a result, while completing the turn, Chu Zheng suddenly raised his right foot high, almost as high as his chest, and immediately used the instep of his outside foot to push the ball behind Bo Yang.
Then Chu Zheng quickly turned around and brushed past Boyang.
After catching up with the ball, Stoke City's right midfielder Glenn Whelan quickly moved from the right rib to the center, blocking Chu Zheng's path.
As soon as Chu Zheng got the ball, Glenn Whelan was in place.
So in the next second, Chu Zheng directly shouldered Matthews and feinted, and Glenn Whelan immediately surrendered.
His center of gravity was tilted severely to the left by Chu Zheng, and his extended left foot could not be retracted at all. Taking advantage of the situation, he performed a one-piece horse performance for all the fans who were paying attention to this game.
Chu Zheng heard Glenn Whelan's screams, but he ignored them.
Even now, Chu Zheng is no longer considered a rookie in the competition.
On this green field where everyone has a best actor, he doesn't trust anyone except his teammates. The only thing that can stop him is the referee's whistle.
Coming to the area two meters before the top of the central arc, Chu Zheng accurately seized the gap between the two-meter center backs on Stoke City's defense and sent the ball into Stoke City's penalty area.
To the left of the ball point.
At the same time, Vardy successfully countered offside, faced goalkeeper Butland directly, and easily pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.
Witnessing the birth of the goal, Ranieri's always serious face showed a long-lost smile on the sidelines.
In the stands, all the Leicester City fans were also ecstatic and beaming with joy.
"Calmly and freely, lift your weight with ease, and kill with one blow!"
In the LeTV Sports live broadcast room, Zhan Jun directly used three idioms to describe Chu Zheng's continuous breakthrough performance and assists.
Next to him, Zhang Lu also had a face full of comfort. He smiled and said: "Hehe! Personally, I feel that Chu Zheng, this Matthews, has to be passed by Ramos and Pique. This action fully reflects Chu Zheng's physical talent! This
The flexibility and explosiveness are so good!”
However, just when Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were having fun with each other, Leicester City's second goal came and caught everyone off guard.
The replay footage on the big TV screen in the live broadcast room has just finished playing.
The camera turned, and countless Chinese fans immediately saw Chu Zheng get the ball in his own half, at the joint area between the ribs and the middle, and suddenly sent a kick across the two halves, with a distance of more than fifty meters.
pass.
In Stoke City's half, in the forward area of the offensive third zone on the right, Okazaki Shinji, Albrighton, and Vardy came together to combine Stoke City's two central defenders and a defensive midfielder.
attracted to the same area.
Vardy is right between Stoke City's right center back Geoff Cameron and right midfielder Glenn Whelan.
He looked up and looked directly at the ball flying in the sky, and suddenly felt that the ball seemed familiar. He seemed to have seen Chu Zheng's fast long pass in training.
So the next second he suddenly turned around and ran back towards the top of the arc in the middle.
At the same time, Cameron and Whelan at Stoke City are busy competing with Shinji Okazaki and Mahrez for the top spot.
As a result, when they jumped up, they realized that they had been deceived by Chu Zheng.
The ball passed by everyone's scalps and bounced directly to the top of the Stoke City penalty area.
Two seconds later, Vardy got the ball in front of Mark Wilson and put it into the penalty area.
Facing Butland who attacked again, Vardy calmly took a shot into the far corner of the goal and hit the target again, scoring twice.
"Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The moment the goal was scored, the Britannia Stadium was ravaged by a terrifying sound!
"Vardy!!!"
"Wonderful Vardy, he understood Chu Zheng's intention of making a long pass!!!"
"Crazy Vardy, this is his 8th goal this season, who can stop this efficiency in the Premier League!!"
"It's so beautiful! Chu Zheng's passing skills are flat, fast and extremely deceptive!" Zhang Lu marveled as she watched the replay of the goal on TV.
After the score was equalized, Stoke City's morale fell completely to the bottom.
Leicester City's morale has reached its peak!
Under Chu Zheng's increasingly aggressive planning and attack, Stoke City's performance became completely different.
Even though Stoke City coach Hughes quickly made three substitutions and set up a dense iron barrel formation, they ultimately failed to hold on to the 2-2 score.
In the 79th minute of the game, Kante robbed the ball from a Stoke City player in the center circle for the sixth time, and then quickly handed the ball to Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng quickly advanced along the right rib, and before Stoke City players could build a dense defense line, his pass once again penetrated Stoke City's defense from the right rib.
Mahrez picked up the ball on the right side of the penalty area, then danced and passed two people in a small space before being brought down.
Marriner blew the whistle directly and pointed to the penalty spot.
One minute later, Mahrez hit the penalty kick, officially announcing the end of the game. Leicester City was undefeated in six rounds and once again staged a major reversal.
