On the court, as time passed, the players from both sides devoted themselves fully to the game, and the overly cautious situation at the beginning disappeared unconsciously.
Starting from the 9th minute, the offensive and defensive rhythms of Leicester City and Manchester City suddenly accelerated, setting off the first wave of offensive climax in the game.
In the 12th minute of the game, Schmeichel kicked the ball out of the penalty area.
The ball went straight to Simpson in the 40-meter area in the right half of the ribs.
Simpson turned around to meet the ball and retreated to the wing. As soon as he raised his foot to remove the ball, Manchester City midfielder David Silva had already rushed back to him from the front court.
Simpson also reacted very quickly, immediately turned back and bumped to the left at the same time, trying to knock away Silva who was turning to the left side of his body.
However, Silva was already prepared.
Simpson was already on an unstable footing, and this collision made matters worse. Instead of knocking Silva away, Simpson lost his balance and fell directly to the ground.
Silva was also surprised, not expecting Simpson to make such a mistake.
After reacting, Silva immediately turned around and ran straight for the ball half a meter behind him.
Simpson also panicked. In anxiety, he knelt on his knees and stretched out his right foot, trying to trip Silva who was running past him.
But Simpson, who was mentally prepared to take the card, didn't succeed.
The experienced Silva jumped up, but was slightly staggered by Simpson's toe hook.
The next second, the overjoyed Silva rushed up quickly after receiving the ball, dribbling the ball diagonally towards Leicester City's penalty area.
Back on defense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!""
On the halfway line of the other half, Chu Zheng found out that Manchester City had counterattacked. He roared and returned to defense along the wing like a frightened rabbit.
Huth, Morgan and Schmeichel at the top of the arc did not expect such a change.
But this is football, accidents are also part of football, and they can only passively choose to accept it.
At the same time, Aguero and Navas, who were on the same level as Silva in the center and right half, were like two arrows flying straight into the Leicester City penalty area, quickly establishing the basis for Manchester City's frontcourt counterattack.
Two catch points.
Huth reacted very quickly, retreated with his back, and slowly leaned towards Silva's path. At the same time, he raised his hand to signal Kante, Drinkwater and others behind Aguero and others not to panic too much. Really.
A picture of a general.
In the forward area on the right side of the arc, Morgan turned his head to the left and saw that Fox had entered the rib area to follow Navas. He quickly moved to the center, preparing to mark Aguero, and let Huth move to the left to mark Schier.
watt.
The defense of several people is in perfect harmony.
In the stands on all sides, Manchester City fans suddenly became excited and pretentious as if they had been given alpaca blood.
“come on Manchester City!!!!!!!!!!”
"Attack!!!!"
"Attack!!!!"
"Shoot!!!!!Shoot!!!!!Shoot!!!!!Shoot!!!!!"
"Go!!!Go!!!Go!!!"
"..."
The voices came one after another towards the stadium from all directions. These voices inspired all the Manchester City players and also put pressure on the Leicester City players.
On the field, seeing Huth blocking him in front of the penalty area line at the left rib of the arc, Silva was forced to the sideline and rushed to the left side of the penalty area with the ball in an attempt to take Huth away and create a gap between Huth and Morgan.
The body distance between the two creates sufficient attacking space for Aguero in the middle.
But when he came to the upper left corner of the penalty area, he saw Huth retreating to the end line of the penalty area and stopped moving. Silva changed direction to the right again and dribbled the ball straight towards Huth. It looked a bit like he was going to move in laterally.
cut.
Suddenly Huth was a little unsure of Silva's true intentions.
The Spanish midfielder's long-range shooting ability is not ordinary. If there is a little space, he can directly threaten the goal.
In the flash of lightning, the two people quickly narrowed the distance.
The next second, Silva rushed to Huth, and at that moment, a baseline kick appeared without warning.
The ball was pushed to the left towards the left sideline of the small penalty area. Silva dodged to the right and went around the left side of the top of the arc into the penalty area.
At the same time, Aguero accelerated forward and chased the ball towards the baseline.
Seeing Silva also come in, Morgan quickly gave up chasing Aguero. He knew very well that Manchester City was going to defeat the triangle offense.
So he turned his marking target to Silva, and chose an excellent position to cut off the most dangerous route of Aguero's inverted triangle cross.
The next second, Aguero passed the ball in an inverted triangle, looking for Silva.
On the left end line of the small penalty area, Morgan, who was facing the goal, quickly raised his left foot to prepare for a direct clearance, even if it was to kick out of the baseline.
However, the unexpected happened at this moment.
I don't know if Aguero's back pass was intended to create chaos. The pass was very powerful and the ball was extremely fast.
Morgan just twisted his hips and before his foot kicked out, the ball found the inside of his left foot and hit the ball.
The next second, a jaw-dropping scene appeared.
In full view of everyone, the ball hit the inside of Morgan's left foot and headed towards the Leicester City goal.
Approaching the goal post, Schmeichel never expected that the always steady captain would make such a mistake.
The ball rolled from Schmeichel's right foot towards the goal from close range.
Such a close distance gave Schmeichel no time to react.
"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"..."
Witnessing the ball rolling into the Leicester City goal close to the inside post, tens of thousands of Manchester City fans cheered collectively, filling every corner of Wembley Stadium with sounds of infinite joy!
"Oooh! Own goal!!!"
"Oh!!!! Now you've made your own mistake!!"
"Wow!!!!"
"Morgan, number 5, is the captain of Leicester City! This time he made a mistake while busy! He knocked Aguero's cross directly into his own door!"
"Man City leads 1-0!!!"
"This is a very unexpected goal!"
"Simpson, he was sent off with a red card in the last game, which caused Leicester City to fight with ten men and finally lost to the Gunners. Today, he indirectly caused this goal!"
"So I have always said that Leicester City's defense is far from reassuring!"
In the Channel 5 studio, He Wei, Zhang Lu, and Xu Yang exclaimed one after another.
The Leicester City fans at the scene collectively fell into silence.
Conceding the goal was what they expected.
But they never expected that the team would lose the ball in this way. The fans of Leicester City were really depressed.
You must know that this kind of own goal can really hurt the morale of the team!
Seeing this unexpected scene in the right rib area at the top of the arc, Chu Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth and could only sigh that Manchester City was lucky enough.
He just hopes that Simpson will not be shocked or resentful and make more serious mistakes.
Losing a goal at this time point is not a big problem, there is still enough time to recover it, and even overtaking the score is not impossible.
But if we continue to lose, the balance of the game will completely tilt towards Manchester City, and there will be a huge gap in the morale of both sides.
Once Manchester City's morale is boosted, fully aroused, and united, but they are not united, it will be hellishly difficult to score a goal.
Cups are different from leagues.
Especially this is a cup final. If you win, you will be the champion, if not, you will be the loser.
In this situation where the gains and losses of interests are so obvious, players will do their best to win the championship, which is completely different from the league.
On the sidelines, Pellegrino saw the team score a goal. He looked surprised at first, and then smiled broadly. Then he directly raised his arms and turned to face the Manchester City fans behind him to celebrate together.
.
Ranieri next to him was expressionless!
In the stands, De Bruyne jumped up from his seat when he saw the team score a goal, raised his arms and followed the nearby Manchester City fans in cheers.
But soon he realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He glanced sideways and saw Zhao Dudu, Niu Benben, Hao Xiao and Jiang Lai looking sideways at him.
The four of them had faint smiles on their faces, but Ding Ding felt several waves of murderous intent!
De Bruyne wanted to ask him if it was still too late to sit back again.
