As the game time passed, fans soon discovered that the situation was not good for Liverpool.
Although Liverpool's formation on the field pressed forward, they pressed very fiercely from the high position and were able to win the ball.
But the problem is that Liverpool cannot attack effectively after getting the ball. Every time they are either unable to pass the ball due to Leicester City's counterattack, or the passed ball is interrupted instantly.
Everyone can see that it is Henderson who is responsible for organizing the attack in the midfield for Liverpool today.
But the problem now is that when Henderson gets the ball on the court today, one or two players from Leicester City will definitely press him closely, without giving him any time to send a pass like the one in the first round.
attack.
On the sidelines, Klopp looked a bit ugly. The fans could see the problem. How could he, as a head coach, not see where the problem lies.
But now the problem is obvious and he can't solve it.
Because the two monsters Chu Zheng and Kanter are so evil.
Chu Zheng is better. His position is more advanced today. His main task is to organize the offense and support Vardy and Mahrez.
Kanter, who was behind the interception and was responsible for sweeping the interception, really gave Klopp a headache today. As long as Henderson faced this guy, he was either forced to pass back or was robbed of his head, let alone organizing the offense. It would be good if he could not concede the ball.
.
Just when Klopp was thinking about how to reverse his midfield disadvantage, Liverpool finally took the first shot of the game.
In the 10th minute of the game, Liverpool sent a side kick from the right side of the frontcourt.
Klein raised the ball above his head and saw that almost all the Leicester City players gathered in the rib area to defend, keeping Firmino, Lallana, Milner, Henderson and others tightly focused.
There was some emptiness in the middle, so he threw the ball directly to the ribs.
Firmino retreated and faced the back and forth attacks from Chu Zheng behind him and Mahrez in front of him. He did not stop the ball, raised his left foot and immediately crossed the center area.
Thirty-five meters in front of the top of the arc in the middle, Liverpool left back Moreno lowered his head to stop the ball. When he looked up, he saw that Chu Zheng and Mahrez had returned to defend at the top of the arc.
In just four or five seconds, Leicester City built two lines of defense in front and behind the penalty area.
After passing the ball, Firmino was diagonally inserting into the defensive weak side area of the left rib at the top of the arc, and Lallana was on the penalty arc in the middle. Moreno could not pass the ball because both of them were in Leicester.
Surrounded by the city, even if you force the ball past, you will eventually be surrounded and steal the ball.
Faced with this situation, Moreno had no choice but to bring the ball into the left rib area.
Entering the rib area, Moreno stopped and waited for two seconds before Emrejan ran past him.
When Emrejan entered the left rib area at the top of the arc, Moreno raised his foot to pass, and then went straight forward.
But Mahrez in front of him was also very active in following up, always pinching the line that Emre Can passed back to him.
Outside the upper left corner of the penalty area, Emre Can, who was holding the ball, saw Simpson in front of him and was stuck in his position, unable to make a move. He continued to ink in place.
When Firmino behind Simpson ran to the outside of the penalty area, he suddenly spiked the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot, and then started to cut inward laterally.
Simpson completely ignored Firmino behind him and followed him horizontally along the penalty area line with crab steps.
After Emre Can ran two meters away, he shot directly from a long distance to the left of the top of the arc.
It's a pity that he is not Coutinho, he is not good at this kind of work.
In the end, his shot was not suppressed. The ball was so high that it was a bit too much to say it was not within the goal frame.
In front of the goal, Schmeichel looked up and followed the movement of the ball without even bothering to move.
"Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Seeing Emre Can shoot the ball into the stands, nearly 30,000 Leicester City fans booed wildly.
Even Klopp on the sidelines turned his back when he saw Emre Can's anti-aircraft kick.
After Klopp took office, he reused Emre Can who is good at offense and defense.
But these days, it seems that this guy is still far behind his expectations.
"Emre Can moved forward very much during the opening period. I feel like Klopp is using him as a second forward!"
"The absence of Coutinho, the team's top scorer, will still have a huge impact on Liverpool's offense." Seeing Emre Can's anti-aircraft kick, Zhang Lu shook her head and laughed.
Soon, Leicester City's offensive resumed.
This time, Leicester City used their special skills, quick defensive counterattack.
In the 18th minute of the game, Liverpool took a left corner kick, but Huth, who was defending the central area, took the lead to make a clearance towards the top of the arc.
Lallana saw Kanter quickly rush out of the penalty area. He stopped the ball and quickly passed it across.
Seeing the ball flying towards Milner who was running back along the wing after taking the corner kick, Simpson quickly rushed out from the top corner of the penalty area to prepare for a header.
The two reached the landing point and took off almost at the same time, but Milner, who had the advantage in position, hit the ball, and the ball flew back along the wing.
At the same time, Chu Zheng also appeared on the wing.
Seeing the ball flying back towards Moreno along the wing, Chu Zheng turned directly towards Moreno halfway.
Seeing the murderous attack coming, Moreno quickly rushed towards the spot in front of him.
But Chu Zheng is faster!
After rushing to the landing point, Chu Zheng knew that Vardy was already in the center circle without looking, so he raised his foot and passed.
But Moreno saw through Chu Zheng's intention.
As soon as the ball was kicked up by Chu Zheng, he blocked it with his body.
Suddenly the ball flew backward from the right side of Chu Zheng's body.
Behind Chu Zheng, Milner saw the ball flying, and he was immediately ecstatic.
However, just as he was rushing towards the ball, he suddenly saw Chu Zheng suddenly lift his right foot and hook it upwards. Immediately after the ball flew to Chu Zheng's butt, he was hooked and flew towards the center.
Shinji Okazaki, who was on the right side of the center and almost parallel to Chu Zheng, saw the ball flying in front of him. Without saying a word, he leaned over and hammered the ball in the direction of Chu Zheng's sprint.
"Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Witnessing Chu Zheng's beautiful heel pass, both the Leicester City and Liverpool fans at the scene collectively let out an uproar.
Klopp was right next to him, and people immediately went numb when they saw this scene.
"pretty!!!!!!!"
“Leicester City’s counterattack!!!!!!!!!!!”
"This is Chu Zheng's creativity, you will never guess what moves he will make on the court!" Zhang Lu also became excited, "A seemingly easy and freehand hook directly formed an excellent
A chance to counterattack!!!”
On the field, in the rib area in front of the midline, Chu Zheng, who successfully used his speed to get rid of the Liverpool players, got the ball and was even faster than before.
At the same time, Vardy in the center circle also rushed up.
At this moment, the fans in the stands couldn't help but stand up and stood on their toes watching the two-on-two situation on the field.
On the field, Lovren and Sakho did not separate immediately, but kept a reasonable distance and ran back along the middle.
Seeing that Sacco didn't come over immediately, Chu Zheng, who pushed forward at high speed along the ribs, felt relaxed.
But after entering the offensive third area, Sacco was in the direction of Chu Zheng.
At this time, Lovren in the middle was also staring at Vardy who was walking in confusion.
Chu Zheng saw that Vardy did not have a good chance, so after entering the right rib area at the top of the arc, Chu Zheng quickly slowed down.
Facing Sacco, who was bending over and slowly retreating in front of him, Chu Zheng now took a step forward with his left foot. At the same time, he shifted his center of gravity to the left. He also took a step forward with his right foot and moved his center of gravity to the right.
The whole process, the ball kept rolling in front of Chu Zheng.
"This is?!" In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhan Jun's eyes straightened when he saw Chu Zheng's swaying movement.
"Oh!!!! Luo! Luo! Ronaldo!!!!!" Zhang Lu was also stuttered in shock.
“It’s the pendulum!!!!”
"Fuck!! Da Luo's pendulum!!!"
"Chu Zheng is using Da Luo's pendulum!!!!!"
"..."
At the same time, the barrage in LeTV's live broadcast room suddenly became intensive, and countless Chinese fans used intensive barrage to show their shocked hearts.
In the stands of the King Power Stadium, Leicester City fans and Liverpool were also dumbfounded.
Especially for some older fans, Chu Zheng's extraordinary performance brought back memories of a football era ruled by aliens in their minds.
