After the fifteen-minute break, the two sides returned to the court to change sides and fight again.
Except for Klopp who replaced Benteke for Origi, who insisted on playing through injury after being injured in the first half, neither team saw any changes in tactics for the time being.
But five or six minutes into the second half, Leicester City's halftime tactical adjustments showed signs.
Compared with the first half, Leicester City players ran more actively.
Especially when Liverpool slows down to rest after a period of high-intensity pressing, Leicester City players will run more actively.
From the stands, no matter whether Leicester City is on the offensive or defensive end, no player is walking on the field. They are all using active running to complete quick offensive support or defensive coverage.
As a result, Liverpool's game rhythm was directly driven up by the Leicester City players.
On the sidelines, Klopp suddenly had a headache after discovering this phenomenon!
He knew what Ranieri was up to. He wanted to defeat them. This Italian is so cunning!
But there is no way. If you don't follow others, you will lose your position, and the consequences will be a disaster.
"Borussia Dortmund, who was under Klopp, was famous for being able to run, and Liverpool was also very good at running."
"But Leicester City has a little-known nickname in the Premier League."
"Forrest Gump!"
"Their running enthusiasm in the game is no worse than any other team, and is even much better. The Times once used this metaphor, 'In addition to goalkeeper Schmeichel, Leicester City has 10 permanent players.
Non-stop Forrest Gump'."
Hearing Zhan Jun's words, Zhang Lu chuckled and said: "Now Ranieri's tactical response is that you, Liverpool, can run, okay, I will run with you, if you can, don't stop!"
"But if Liverpool is kept in a rhythm, then in less than 80 minutes, the physical fitness of their players on the field will collectively run out!"
"So the younger generation is still older. In terms of the honors he has received in his coaching career, Ranieri may not be as good as Klopp, but in terms of experience in coaching and adjusting before games, Ranieri is really ahead of Klopp by several blocks.
!" Zhan Jun laughed.
In the 54th minute of the game, Leicester City received a throw-in near the center line on the right.
At this time, there were seven Liverpool players on this side of the ribs and wings from front to back, making the defense airtight.
Simpson didn't find a good opportunity and had to throw the ball to the right front rib.
Mahrez retreats to meet the ball.
But Moreno was faster than him. He squeezed in front of him and took off, heading the ball towards Chu Zheng, who was standing on the center line two or three meters in front of the two of them.
Seeing the ball flying towards him, Chu Zheng quickly turned around to observe.
Seeing the tall and powerful Benteke charging towards him with great momentum, Chu Zheng, who was standing on the center line, jumped up with his back.
Although Benteke was a beat slower, he still jumped up.
The two collided in the air, and the winner was determined instantly.
Benteke hit Chu Zheng and fell to the ground. He was extremely embarrassed!
Although Chu Zheng resisted Benteke's collision, he staggered forward a little after landing.
But Chu Zheng put his left hand on the ground, straightened up in an instant, and caught up with the ball that he had just removed with his chest.
At the same time, Henderson quickly appeared in front of Chu Zheng to block the road.
Behind Chu Zheng, Benteke quickly got up on his hands and knees to pursue him.
Henderson and Benteke formed a pincer attack on Chu Zheng.
But Chu Zheng brought the ball in front of Henderson and suddenly kicked the ball to the left with his right foot, making a 90-degree turn for Henderson and Benteke.
"Chu Zheng! Here we go again!!"
"Another person rushed up!!!" Seeing Chu Zheng charging up again, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu suddenly became excited again.
On the court, after Chu Zheng got rid of Henderson and Benteke, he dribbled the ball towards the top of the arc.
In front of the left free throw arc, Klein, Lovren and Henderson, who came back in time while Chu Zheng slowed down, surrounded Chu Zheng again.
Klein and Lovren blocked Chu Zheng in front of him, and Henderson followed Chu Zheng on the right, cutting off the connection between Chu Zheng and Okazaki Shinji and Vardy in the middle on the right.
"Chu Zheng, challenge three Liverpool players!!!"
Chu Zheng saw that Liverpool's defense was flawless this time, and he was not reckless. He quickly divided the ball to the left and into the left rib area at the top of the arc.
Albrighton, who followed up from the ribs, met the ball at the end line of the penalty area.
Suddenly, he saw Chu Zheng retreating at the intersection of the free throw arc on the left and the end line of the penalty area. With no one around him to defend him, Albrighton quickly knocked the ball across.
At the same time, Henderson, who had already entered the penalty area in front of Chu Zheng, quickly turned around and rushed towards Chu Zheng.
At this moment, Chu Zheng, who had his back to the center of the arc, suddenly jumped up and missed the ball.
This magical move once again tricked Liverpool's defense and allowed Henderson to make a clear save.
In the top area of the middle arc, Mahrez followed up. At this time, there were only Sakho and Moreno in the middle area of the penalty area.
The two men are responsible for guarding Shinji Okazaki on the left side of the penalty spot and Vardy on the right side of the penalty spot.
After Mahrez saw it, he knew that there was little hope of passing the ball, so he picked up his left foot and hit it, directly to the upper left corner of the goal.
But this time Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet was very well prepared and chose his position just right. He flew directly to the right and into the upper corner and pushed the ball out of the baseline.
"Oh!!!!" Zhang Lu exclaimed, "It's a beautiful shot, but it's a pity that Mignolet was prepared for it!"
"Mignolet, the goalkeeper, is always making a fool of himself!"
"Now that Klopp has arrived and moved the defense forward, his characteristics make his position in Liverpool very precarious!"
"If Klopp wants to make a difference at Liverpool, then for the goalkeeper position he must find a top goalkeeper with excellent ball play and a wide range of control!"
Hearing Zhan Jun's words, Zhang Lu nodded, "Mignolet, the goalkeeper, has first-class goal-line skills, but his attack and control range are too small, so he is actually not suitable for Klopp's current aggressive tactics.
system!"
"This is a change in Leicester City in the second half!" After talking about Liverpool, Zhang Lu brought the topic to Chu Zheng and pointed at Chu Zheng on the TV. "Starting from the second half, Chu Zheng has made more and more forward moves.
high."
"He went up just to support Mahrez and Vardy!"
"Now it seems that Leicester City's adjustment is very good."
"As for Kante, when Chu Zheng comes up, he can also cover the dangerous area on Liverpool's offensive side very well and in time. What a good waist!"
At the scene, Klopp on the sidelines had already realized the seriousness of the problem.
But the time he took over Liverpool was too short, and there were a lot of injuries in the team. Now he is like a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice.
In the next twenty minutes, Leicester City and Liverpool fought back and forth.
The two sides took turns to stage offensive battles and defensive counterattacks, each threatening the other's goal.
During this period of time, Chu Zheng frequently traveled back and forth between the front and back courts, going up and back, which caused great trouble to Liverpool.
Liverpool are missing Milner today, and their midfield strength is not strong enough. Being hit by Chu Zheng again and again, the pressure is not small.
At the 89th minute of the game, just when everyone thought the game would end with a score of 2-1, something unexpected happened.
In the 91st minute of stoppage time, Firmino suddenly passed the ball from the left outside the Leicester City penalty area, relying on continuous cooperation with Coutinho, Emre Can and others.
A cross pass from the seam to the penalty area in the middle of the penalty area.
Benteke followed up from the center and fell to the ground to shoot from the penalty spot.
Immediately afterwards, the ball actually hit Huth's foot and was refracted, causing Schmeichel, who was originally rushing in the opposite direction, to go completely in the opposite direction.
The ball went into the Leicester City goal from the left side of the goal, and the score was rewritten as 2-2.
This is also the last goal of the game.
In fact, at the end of the game, neither Leicester City nor Liverpool players could run anymore, and they were all supported by a willpower.
At the end of the game, although the score was 2-2, there was warm applause from the stands on all sides!
This game is very entertaining for countless fans!
Especially Chu Zheng's performance, Ma Xingkong's creativity, advancing speed and magical defense that day all left a very deep impression on these Liverpool fans!
