"After the opening, although Manchester United has the home advantage, Leicester City gives people a feeling of not panicking!"
"I played very calmly, without the constraints of playing away from home." Zhang Lu chuckled, "This is a performance of good foundation!"
"Yes, as Leicester City wins one victory after another and gets closer to the championship step by step, their players have become more confident. This is what Zhang Zhi said. Their current results allow the players to dare to make moves on the court.
I’m not afraid of making mistakes at all. If I lose the ball, I’ll get it back.” He Wei nodded.
As soon as He Wei finished speaking, Leicester City lost the ball on the field.
On the right side of Leicester City's half-time circle, Manchester United regained the ball through a five-man press.
Leicester City was not chaotic at all. Chu Zheng, Okazaki Shinji, Simpson, and Mahris quickly launched a counterattack on the spot.
The four Chu Zheng players grabbed the ball in the ribs and Rooney was unable to turn around at all, so he had to lean to the wing.
But when they came to the wing area, in addition to Chu Zheng who continued to defend, there were Simpson, Shinji Okazaki and Mahrez. One retreated along the wing to mark Martial, and the other cut Rooney to the left and stood in the rib area.
Blind's passing line, Mahrez stuck in front to block Rooney's return line.
This series of defenses occurred in a short period of time, which made people marvel at the tacit understanding of the four Chu Zheng players on defense.
Lu Xiaopang is also very aware of Leicester City's intentions, and he is also afraid of physical confrontation with Chu Zheng.
There is no other way, as I get older, I really can't hold the young and strong Chu Zheng.
So Rooney, who was carrying the ball behind his back, quickly passed the ball to Blind from the left side.
The moment Blind took the ball, he made a fake move to the left to turn back and deceive Shinji Okazaki, then quickly moved the ball to the right to break through.
Chu Zheng, who was on the wing, quickly turned around and chased after him.
Faced with Chu Zheng's strong physical confrontation ability, Blind couldn't last more than three seconds and was pushed to the outside.
At the same time, Simpson also stepped forward, and Chu Zheng formed a siege on Blind.
However, Blinder risked a diagonal pass to the right just before Simpson completely blocked the space in front of him.
Chu Zheng stretched out his feet half a beat slower.
The ball went straight to Rashford in the left rib area at the top of the arc.
Morgan was right behind Rashford. When he saw the ball coming, he quickly turned and moved sideways to hit it.
But as soon as he took a step, Rashford passed the ball and knocked back Fellaini who was following up in front of him.
Fellaini took the ball, and he saw Martial's gesture to ask for the ball as he advanced straight towards the upper left corner of the penalty area.
However, just as he was about to pass the ball, Kanter suddenly appeared, and the passing line was immediately interrupted.
Fellaini had no choice but to hit Lingard in the middle.
Lingard had just stopped the ball and was about to pass forward to Rashford who was on the left side of the top of the arc and in front of the penalty area line. But just as he was about to lift his foot to release the ball, Kanter had already moved sideways and the line was broken again.
He turned around to look at Fellaini and found that it was no good either. Fellaini was also caught by Chu Zheng.
So he looked to the right again.
Realizing that Valencia had not yet fully caught up, he took two steps forward but did not force a breakthrough.
Leicester City's defense in the middle is too dense, even the famous Lin Huang is not sure.
When Schlupp approached from the right, Lingard suddenly spiked the ball to avoid Schlupp's overhand attack, and then distributed the ball to the right.
As soon as Lingard passed the ball, Fox quickly entered the right rib area at the top of the key and waited for Valencia to come up.
Facing Fox, who was taking a backward step, Valencia did not choose to rush down and cross, but suddenly took off his feet and made a cross at 40 or 50 degrees.
The next second the ball hit the side of Simpson's left foot and bounced high to the right edge of the penalty area.
Huth was near the landing point, quickly took a step forward, jumped in front of Rashford and headed the ball directly to clear the ball.
But in his haste, Huth did not choose the right direction to clear the siege.
The ball fell directly to the feet of Lingard at the intersection of the left penalty arc and the end line of the penalty area.
At this time, Leicester City's defensive focus has not yet shifted back to the center, so there is no one around Lingard to mark him for the time being.
But there is Lingard in front of him.
At this point, Lingard already had the route and angle for his shot.
Chu Zheng's talent warning sounded immediately, and he quickly moved sideways to the right and put his hands behind his back.
After Lingard stopped the ball, his body began to tilt to the right, and he had already made a move to shoot directly from a long distance.
Seeing Chu Zheng put his hands behind his back and stretched out his long legs to block the ball, Lingard felt extremely proud at the moment.
In the first round match between Leicester City and Manchester United, Van Gaal was not even included in the substitute list due to his tactical choices.
Therefore, like Rashford, he has not directly experienced Chu Zheng's strong defensive ability.
But now seeing how easily Chu Zheng was deceived by him, Lingard felt that the media's praise of Chu Zheng's defensive ability was a bit exaggerated.
But that's it!
The next second, after Chu Zheng knelt down on one knee and fully extended his right leg, he suddenly stopped his strength and turned to use the instep of his left outside foot to push the ball forward to the left.
However, at this moment, Chu Zheng suddenly retracted his right leg, squatted on the ground, stood up with his waist, abdomen and legs at the same time, assuming a squatting horse stance, and kicked hard with one leg, and his right foot made a direct sweep
Tang legs.
Bang!
Lingard had just caught up with the ball and before he had time to react, he could only watch as Chu Zheng swept the ball away.
"Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Zhang Lu exclaimed, looking full of admiration.
"Chu Zheng defended this ball beautifully!"
"This action is so coherent! Chu Zheng obviously had a hand in hand and was prepared!!!"
"It's so beautiful!" Li Jinyu also exclaimed, "This kind of on-the-spot adaptability is simply a nightmare for all forwards!!"
In the stands, the more than 20,000 Leicester City fans present today also immediately gave Chu Zheng warm applause for his wonderful defense in the second leg of the relay.
In the penalty area, Lingard looked at Chu Zheng speechlessly.
He really didn't expect that Chu Zheng would make follow-up moves. At this moment, he realized firsthand how strong Chu Zheng's defensive ability was.
Thinking of his contempt for Chu Zheng just now, Lingard suddenly felt his face getting a little hot.
In the coaching area on the sidelines, Van Gaal was breathing heavily, obviously he was nervous just now.
Van Gaal saw clearly that once Lingard was allowed to break through, there would be no problem in hitting the far corner directly with this player's shooting footwork and finishing ability, and it would most likely be a beautiful goal.
Unexpectedly, Chu Zheng even knelt down and could still make such a wonderful defensive move. It was really helpless.
"Kante has made 168 tackles, 155 interceptions and 78 tackles in the Premier League so far!"
"He is the steal king this season! The tackle king! The interception king!"
"Averaging 4.7 steals, 4.4 interceptions, and 2.1 clearances per game, and winning 6.9 ground duels per game, with a success rate of over 70%. He is hailed by the European media as a super defensive midfielder who can cover the entire land area of the earth!"
“But in fact, in terms of defensive data, Chu Zheng also completed 142 steals, 128 interceptions and 59 tackles, averaging 4.1 steals, 3.9 interceptions, and 2.9 clearances per game, winning ground duels on average 8 times per game, and successfully
The rate exceeds 80%, but the media rarely mentions his data, which is not much inferior to Kanter!"
"Chu Zheng's gorgeous statistics on the offensive end are too bright!" Fan Zhiyi said happily, "It completely overshadowed his performance on the defensive end, but I think those clubs that hope to introduce Chu Zheng will not ignore Chu Zheng.
This one has the same dazzling defensive statistics!”
"I feel like Chu Zheng is pretty good playing as a central defender!" Li Jinyu suddenly laughed after hearing the data reported by Zhang Lu.
Suddenly, the corners of He Wei, Fan Zhiyi, and Zhang Lu's mouths twitched. How could this unlucky kid speak?
Isn't it a waste of talent for a midfield master to play as a central defender? He will be punished.
Listening to these four people praising Chu Zheng like crazy, domestic fans also listened happily.
But it didn't take long for the game situation to change, which could even be said to be a major turning point.
