Chapter 262 Another fight against the Red Army Liverpool
"Welcome to watch the 24th round of the Premier League match between Leicester City and Liverpool in the 2015-16 season brought to you by LeTV Sports!"
At 3:45 a.m. BJ time, as the live broadcast signal was connected, Zhan Jun's unique voice sounded on time in the ears of countless fans waiting in front of the screen.
The King Power Stadium in the camera at this moment has been occupied by blue and red, which are clearly distinct.
The stands were not only filled with the loud singing of Liverpool fans, but also the loud applause of Leicester City fans using folding fans. The Leicester City fans tried to use this kind of applause to suppress the singing of Liverpool fans.
The game hasn't started yet, but fans from both sides have already started competing.
At 3:55 minutes, Leicester City and Liverpool players took the field under the leadership of referee Marriner.
The starting lineups of both sides were also shown in the camera at the right time.
Leicester City:442
Goalkeeper:Schmeichel
Defenders: Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fox
Midfielder: Mahrez, Chu Zheng, Kante, Albrighton
Forwards: Shinji Okazaki, Vardy
"Today's game is the fourth time Leicester City has faced Liverpool this season!"
"A week ago, Leicester City eliminated Liverpool in the second round of the EFL Cup with Liverpool in 30 minutes of overtime and successfully advanced to the EFL Cup final. At that time, they will decide with Manchester City who will be the EFL Cup champion!
"
"After a week's rest, Las Vegas and Liverpool, who have returned to the league, will start a new round of dialogue again!"
"Ranieri is having sex with Klopp this season." After Zhan Jun finished speaking, the cheerful Zhang Lu immediately joked.
"If Leicester City hadn't been eliminated from the FA Cup, they might still have competed!" Zhan Jun was also happy.
Before the laughter subsided, Liverpool's starting lineup appeared.
Liverpool:433
Forwards: Lallana, Firmino, Milner
Midfielder: Emre Can, Lucas, Henderson
Defenders: Moreno, Sakho, Lovren, Klein
Goalkeeper: Mignolet
"Look at the strikers, Klopp seems to be playing a strikerless formation today." Zhang Lu looked a little stunned when she saw the list.
"Liverpool is really having a bad year this year. Injuries occur frequently in the team. Many main players have been suspended due to injuries. Some time ago, Coutinho, the absolute main player of the team, was also injured. However, Lovren started today. He
The injury should not be serious, which is good news for Liverpool." Zhan Jun, a die-hard Red Army fan, smiled helplessly.
"This is the strongest lineup that Klopp can put together now." Zhang Lu added, "In the last round of the league, Liverpool, which had not won for three consecutive rounds, had a goal battle with Norwich, and finally relied on Lara.
Na's goal gave us a hard-fought 5-4 victory."
Zhan Jun nodded, sighed, and said: "Klopp is in a dilemma now. He can neither let the team's performance continue to decline, but also have to rack his brains to get the players to adapt to his tactical system as soon as possible!"
At 19:45 London time, the game officially started.
On the field, as soon as the whistle blew, Leicester City and Liverpool entered into a bayonet posture. Ranieri and Klopp seemed to have thought of going together. They both pressed forward actively, maintained their formation, and then headed towards
The opponent launched a high-pressure press.
This reminded the Leicester City and Liverpool fans at the scene of the crazy confrontation between the two sides in the first leg of the 18th round of the Premier League.
At 1 minute and 48 seconds of the game, Leicester City and Liverpool had a fierce fight on the left center line of the center circle.
The ball changed hands three times, and finally Henderson kicked the ball back to the center of the defense.
After Sakho stopped the ball, he brought the ball to the edge of the center circle arc, but this guy was delayed in releasing the ball and seemed a little at a loss.
When Shinji Okazaki pressed forward to press him, he kicked the ball randomly in panic.
The ball went straight to Henderson in front of the center line on the left side of the center circle.
When Henderson saw the ball coming back, although he was extremely speechless, he was not idle either. He quickly raised his foot to stop the ball.
But Kanter came up very quickly. He rushed in front of him and grabbed him with his feet.
Henderson was so disturbed that the ball slipped from his feet.
Huth saw the ball rolling toward him, and Henderson also chased it to press him. He rushed to the ball and raised his foot to swing it.
Suddenly the ball went straight to Vardy next to Sakho in the middle.
Vardy saw that the ball was flat and fast. If he turned around and chased it, he would probably not be able to catch up. Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet missed it, so he jumped up behind his back and used his forehead to hammer the ball back to the goalkeeper.
Chu Zheng in the penalty area.
Chu Zheng did not expect Vardy to pass the ball back, but when he saw Lovren falling behind in the left rib area of Sakho, Vardy in the middle was not in an offside position, he immediately knew that Vardy
What did Dee want to do?
So Chu Zheng turned sideways to face the ball falling in front of him, raised his left foot and swung it.
Suddenly the ball stuck to the ground and quickly flew to the right rib area of the front court.
At the moment of passing the ball, Vardy started to leave from Sakho.
The bulky Sakho couldn't keep up with Vardy at all, and could only watch as Vardy got further and further away from him, rushing toward the right rib.
Vardy got the ball in front of the penalty area on the right side of the arc, but Lovren blocked him in time.
Seeing Shinji Okazaki and Mahrez both reaching the top of the arc, Vardy did not act recklessly, but passed the ball across to Mahrez who entered the top area of the arc.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that Liverpool's defensive players were temporarily unable to come back to cooperate, but Mahrez took the ball and hit it.
Seeing the ball being firmly held in the arms of Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet, Vardy was speechless.
"Mahrez was a little anxious about this goal and wasted the offensive planned by Chu Zheng!" Zhang Lu's face was full of regret.
"Chu Zheng's passing is really getting better and better. This direct pass with his foot on the ground is just right, making Mignolet afraid to attack at all!"
Not long after Zhan Jun finished speaking, Chu Zheng once again organized an offensive on the field.
At 2 minutes and 49 seconds of the game, outside the arc on the right side of the center circle, Kanter and Firmino, who was retreating, competed for the top.
But Kanter's height was a flaw, so he didn't contest the ball this time, and Firmino headed toward Lucas.
Lucas saw Shinji Okazaki next to him looking at him with eagerness. He did not dare to stop the ball, but raised his right foot and padded the ball towards the center circle of Leicester City's half.
Lallana was in position immediately and stopped the ball with his back to his chest.
But Huth and Morgan behind him did not retreat but advanced, forming a pincer attack with Kante and Chu Zheng who rushed back in front of Lallana.
By the time Chu Zheng and Kanter rushed to him, the ball had already been passed.
Chu Zheng quickly turned around and directly pounced on Henderson who had already received the ball.
Henderson saw that the passing routes to Firmino, Lallana and Milner on the left flank were all cut off, so he had no choice but to spike the ball back.
But as soon as he turned around, Chu Zheng pressed against him from behind, pushing Henderson away like a car rear-ending with its foot firmly on the accelerator.
In less than three seconds, Henderson was pushed aside by Chu Zheng as soon as he crossed the center line.
After Chu Zheng got the ball, he rushed straight down the middle.
At the same time, Vardy and Shinji Okazaki also moved forward in the left and right rib areas.
"here we go again!!"
"Three against two!!!" Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu exclaimed when they saw Chu Zheng rushing.
But this time Chu Zheng did not rush to the end, but gave the ball to Vardy.
When Chu Zheng scored, Lovren, who was retreating parallel to Sakho in the middle, had to move to the ribs, while Chu Zheng continued to advance.
In the upper left corner of the penalty area, Vardy slowed down after taking the ball.
But the moment Lovren slowed down, he directly swatted the ball away and then started to speed again.
After entering the penalty area, Vardy kicked off the sideline and crossed into the middle.
In the middle of the penalty area and on the line of the small penalty area, Chu Zheng overpowered Sakho and jumped to attack the goal.
In front of the goal line, Mignolet faced Chu Zheng's header from close range. He raised his hands and lifted the ball over the crossbar.
"Bluff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Violent exclamations erupted at the King Power Stadium.
When Chu Zheng saw that the ball had not been scored, he was so angry that he threw his hands away!
"Liverpool grabbed the ball fiercely, but they couldn't organize an offensive immediately after getting the ball."
"Yes!" Zhan Jun nodded, "Once Liverpool got the ball in the midfield, they were immediately surrounded by Leicester City from all sides. Before their teammates could move forward, the ball was robbed and then directly counterattacked.
Behind the emptiness."
"Chu Zheng's current body, Henderson couldn't handle it just now." Zhang Lu laughed, "Chu Zheng's position is becoming more and more dynamic as he plays. This time he rushed to the forward position."
