On the field, Vardy, who broke the goal drought, did not run wildly to celebrate. He walked outside the bottom line on the right side of the Manchester City goal as usual, but the pace was very draggy, and his shoulders swayed left and right, just like the ancient emperor's steps.
In fact, at this moment, Vardy, last season's Premier League Golden Boot and holder of multiple records, is the king of the King Power Stadium.
Faced with Vardy's unique silent celebration, the Leicester City fans in the stands responded wildly with shouts and waves.
Although Vardy has only scored two goals in the Premier League so far this season, Leicester City fans still support and love this guy who was like a god last season, scored a lot of goals, and has a bizarre personal football resume.
For most people in this world, life is just a process, a fleeting process that sometimes feels as short-lived as a meteor that suddenly disappears in the night sky.
However, this is not important. What is important is what can you leave for those who come after you in this short life?
Philosophers can leave us with profound and profound thoughts, and even many years later, the world is still shrouded in the philosophical words of philosophers.
A poet can leave us with breathtaking emotions. Although the poet has died, the poems he left behind have been recited by the world for generations.
After the death of great people, they left monuments for future generations, engraved with great sentiments and personalities. It was the courage and perseverance they left behind that made the world shed a few tears.
Vardy is one of countless other beings on this planet.
Like many people, he is ordinary and ordinary, just like an ordinary and inconspicuous shell on the beach.
It is not as gorgeous as coral. God has not given it any color other than ordinary.
However, it did not give up on itself because of this, but used its own flesh and blood to sharpen the beautiful pebble in his heart.
It is a kind of magnificence that slowly blooms after a long period of pain and suffering.
Vardy is one of those countless ordinary shells. His ordinary and ordinary growth experience has resonated with countless shells like him.
It's just that Vardy showed his beauty to the world after going through a long period of suffering. This is a transformation from ordinary to great.
For Leicester City fans, the beautiful fairy tale of last season is real, and the ordinaryness of this season is also real. They thank Vardy for still running hard with the dream of the city of Leicester all these years.
Although Vardy is not as outstanding as those super forwards, this is enough for the already ordinary Leicester City and fans. Last season, they and the team wrote a fairy tale that shocked the world of football.
However, Leicester City fans still underestimated Vardy's state today.
On the field, Manchester City kicked the ball out quickly.
Vardy, Slimani and Mahrez made a symbolic grab, and when they saw Manchester City passing the ball back, they retreated to the center line.
Leicester City's overall formation also quickly retreated.
On the left side of Manchester City's backcourt, Kolarov received a cross pass from Stones and passed straight forward to De Bruyne who retreated along the left wing to get the ball.
As soon as De Bruyne took the ball across the center line, Leicester City blocked the ball in front of him and in the ribs.
Not finding a good opportunity, De Bruyne turned and passed back to the ribs.
After Kolarov got the ball again, he directly made a long pass.
The landing point was in front of the bottom line of the left rib cage in the Leicester City penalty area.
Although Aguero started early, he failed to catch up with the ball. The ball was too close to the baseline and the landing point directly bounced off the baseline.
Kolarov's long pass made Guardiola's face darken on the coaching bench. He opened the mineral water and took a sip.
For Guardiola, conceding the ball at the beginning was indeed a bit unexpected, but it was not a big deal. Sometimes conceding the ball early is not a bad thing.
On the field, Leicester City won a goal kick.
Under the signal of goalkeeper Ziller slapping his hands forward, Leicester City pressed forward as a whole, and the defense line reached the center circle area.
Soon, Ziller kicked the ball out.
The landing point is on the left side of the center circle.
At this time, the area around the landing point was full of players from Leicester City and Manchester City.
Unfortunately, Sagna, who is 176 meters tall, faced off against Slimani, who is 189 meters tall.
The next second, without any accident, Slimani used his strong body to squeeze away Sagna with his back, and then took off with his back and headed the ball backwards.
The ball landed on the right wing and quickly bounced towards the upper corner of the penalty area.
Vardy started quickly, but this time it was Stones who was young and strong and had a certain speed to chase back.
Moreover, Stones was on guard for a long time. He was slightly behind, and when he saw the ball falling back, he quickly started a diagonal run from the ribs, caught Vardy behind him, and then raised his right foot to kick the ball out.
Sideline.
This scene made Guardiola's face darken even more on the coaching bench.
Guardiola understands Stones' caution. The player's attitude towards handling the ball has good intentions, but he doesn't like it.
He still likes to control the ball in the backcourt. Guardiola's understanding of beautiful football is to pass it from the goalkeeper all the way to the feet of the forward, and then pass it into the opponent's goal, rather than this kind of clearance ball that directly loses the ball.
On the court, Fox, who has the attribute of a grenade throw-in, quickly came up and prepared to serve.
Seeing three of the five players from Leicester City entering the penalty area, Chu Zheng also quickly directed his teammates to retreat into the penalty area and set up defense.
Except for Aguero, who stayed in front, everyone else retreated to the left side of the penalty area.
When the ball landed on the left side of the penalty area, Yaya Toure and Huth immediately crowded together when they saw the ball coming. They pushed and pulled each other, trying to get each other away.
The two quarreled briefly, and after realizing that they could not get rid of each other for the time being, they focused on fighting for the top spot.
The next second, the two people took off at the same time.
Taking advantage of his height advantage of being 3cm taller, Huth won the challenge and passed the ball to the left to the center of the penalty area.
On the left side of the penalty spot, Slimani faced the goal and stopped the ball in front of him with his lower abdomen.
Chu Zheng was right in front of Slimani and quickly turned around and pounced on him.
At this time, Kolarov and Stones quickly moved forward from the left side of the small penalty area.
When Slimani turned around and faced the goal, he saw that there was no room to kick. He directly returned the ball to Andy King on the left side of the penalty area at the top of the arc.
Seeing what Slimani was doing, Chu Zheng instantly realized the danger and wanted to turn around and attack Andy King.
However, on the football field, people are never as fast as the ball.
Facing the slowly rolling ball, Andy King quickly adjusted his steps and then took a long shot with his right foot without stopping the ball.
The moment Andy Jin shot, Chu Zheng jumped up without fear, trying to block the shot with his body.
But the ball still flew past Chu Zheng's clamped right arm and went straight to the goal.
In front of the goal, Bravo quickly judged the route and flew to the right to save.
In full view of everyone, Bravo touched the ball with the fingertips of his right hand, but did not push the ball away. Then the ball went in from the upper corner of the goal.
"The ball went in!!!!!!!!!!!!" Zhan Jun suddenly exclaimed!
"Coming in again!"
"Oh my god!!! What a start!!!!"
"Fairy start!!!!"
"Less than two minutes after the last goal, Leicester City changed the score again!"
"2-0!"
Next to him, Zhang Lu also had a surprised expression. Leicester City's offensive efficiency today was so high. The conversion rate of two shots was 100%. It was crazy.
"Andy King, a curve ball opened the door of Manchester City again." Zhan Jun looked incredulous, "The ball went straight to the blind corner."
After watching the slow-motion replay, Zhang Lu shook her head and said: "Chu Zheng realized the danger of this ball and turned around quickly, but unfortunately Andy King played extremely resolutely and hit the ball without stopping. Chu Zheng was a step too late and did not have enough.
Post the time."
Zhan Jun nodded and said: "Slimani, in less than five minutes, he set a record for two consecutive assists in the first five minutes of the Premier League."
"Bravo, you suffer from your body shape!"
Zhang Lu shook her head and smiled and said: "Among all the goalkeepers in the five major leagues, Bravo is short. He will suffer a lot when he saves this kind of ball."
At this moment, the King Power Stadium was filled with people.
This second goal completely ignited the atmosphere of the scene and dispelled the chill of the Leicester City fans at the scene.
In the coaching area on the sidelines, Ranieri's glasses were covered with rainwater.
But at this moment, Ranieri, who was in the biting cold winter rain, could not feel the slightest chill.
On the Manchester City coaching bench next to him, Guardiola's face remained as usual, and he took another sip of water.
But after drinking the water, he hesitated for a moment, raised the mineral water bottle in front of his face, looked at it from a distance, and then threw the water away with a look of disgust.
"Haha! Gua Shuai must think that the water today is poisonous!"
"Hahaha!!"
In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun happened to see Guardiola's somewhat funny action from the broadcast camera.
"Just before the first goal was scored, he took a sip, and then the ball went in!"
"He took another sip before the second goal, and then scored again, so the conclusion is that the water must be poisonous! It is extremely poisonous!"
"Haha!!!" Zhang Lu laughed out loud at Zhan Jun's words.
On the field, Chu Zheng, wearing black gloves, stood on the line of the penalty area, looking expressionlessly at the celebrating Leicester City crowd not far away.
Next to him, Stones, Gundogan, Yaya Toure and others also seemed to be knocked unconscious by another sap from Leicester City.
After a while, Chu Zheng shook his head and smiled helplessly, turned around and walked towards the middle circle.
Soon, at the urging of referee Oliver, the Leicester City players ended their celebration.
Beep!
A whistle!
Aguero kicked the ball out for the third time.
After Chu Zheng got the ball, he faced Vardy who was rushing towards him. He directly used his right foot to dunk the ball onto his left foot, completing a different type of fried meatball, which Vardy couldn't find.
After the breakthrough, Chu Zheng saw that Leicester City had retreated across the board and there was no good passing line. He quickly brought the ball into the left rib and then split the ball.
Chu Zheng's original intention was to cooperate with De Bruyne to attract Leicester City's defensive focus to the left half, and then quickly move to Leicester City's defensive weak side.
But De Bruyne didn't understand Chu Zheng's intention. After getting the ball, he started to rush along the wing.
Relying on his strong explosive power and strong physical fitness, De Bruyne successfully broke through from the wing, but was also trapped on the wing by Leicester City.
Chu Zheng knew that conceding two goals in the opening game made his teammates generally anxious and angry.
But he didn't expect that De Bruyne, who has always been the most stable, would also be affected.
Seeing that De Bruyne was trapped, Chu Zheng quickly moved over.
Soon De Bruyne dropped the ball.
Seeing Fox successfully stealing the ball and trying to make a long pass to find Slimani in the center circle as a counterattack fulcrum, Chu Zheng went up and made a precise sliding tackle, destroying the ball out of the baseline.
In the next five or six minutes, under Chu Zheng's deliberate rhythm control and scheduling, Manchester City firmly controlled the ball and did not allow Leicester City to have an effective counterattack opportunity.
However, facing Leicester City's highly coordinated defensive end, Manchester City's offense still did not achieve very good results and could only pass the ball around.
As time goes by, although Manchester City's ball possession rate is as high as 72%, it has basically no effect on the offensive end.
Whenever Manchester City's offense develops into Leicester City's offensive third zone, it will be chased and intercepted by Leicester City players.
Once Manchester City's passing rate slows down slightly, there is a risk of being intercepted and counterattacked.
Coupled with the fact that the rain was getting heavier and heavier at the scene, some water began to accumulate on the court and became extremely slippery. Therefore, Manchester City players often did not dare to take risks.
Organize an attack.
Leicester City, with two goals in hand, was as steady as an old dog, waiting for the next opportunity to counterattack.
If Manchester City is willing to control, then they can control it.
They are in the lead now, and no matter how much control Manchester City can control, they can only control it for 90 minutes.
It doesn't matter!
On the sidelines, Guardiola could not sit still.
He stood in the coaching area in the rain, gesturing toward the court continuously, instructing the players to pass the ball quickly and not be afraid of making mistakes.
After receiving clear instructions from Guardiola, Manchester City's delivery soon changed.
Compared with the first ten minutes or so, Manchester City's continuous passes were more sudden and risky.
Soon, the scene Guardiola wanted to see appeared.
In the 15th minute of the game, Manchester City sent a foul ball from the right side of the penalty area in the backcourt.
Aguero started from the midline, retreated all the way along the wing, rushed to the landing point, and hit Gundogan on the ribs without stopping with the instep of his right outside foot.
Gundogan also quickly passed the ball forward to Chu Zheng on the arc of the center circle without stopping the ball.
Chu Zheng turned the ball around and started to speed directly.
Chu Zheng originally wanted to rely on his speed to get rid of Amatai, who was pursuing from the rear right side.
But as soon as he crossed the center line, someone stepped on a small puddle with water on the ground. Chu Zheng's toes sank into it and he stumbled forward, losing his balance.
Taking advantage of Chu Zheng's sudden decrease in speed, Amatai quickly squeezed to the right side, and in the end he helped Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng stretched out his right hand and pinched Amatai hard to stabilize his center of gravity, and then distributed the ball to the left wing with his left foot in time.
Outside the upper left corner of the penalty area, De Bruyne faced Simpson who was taking a backward step.
De Bruyne continuously moved the ball at his feet and entered the upper corner of Leicester City's penalty area.
Simpson retreated again and again, and when he saw Amartey return to the penalty area from the left rib at the top of the arc, he immediately stepped forward to grab the ball instead of retreating.
However, the moment he reached the top, De Bruyne struck first.
Relying on his strong explosive power, De Bruyne suddenly moved the ball to the right with the instep of his right outside foot and followed it laterally to the end line of the penalty area on the left side of the arc.
After deceiving Simpson and Amartey into following him horizontally to the left side of his body, he suddenly dunked the ball to the left with his right foot and into the penalty area.
Immediately afterwards, De Bruyne turned to the left and quickly followed up. His left foot seemed to pass and shoot, and kicked the ball from the dense gap to the back point.
At the penalty spot, Chu Zheng, who was between Huth and Fox, suddenly started to move forward. The speed of the start made it impossible for Huth and Fox to keep up. They could only watch Chu Zheng jump forward.
Facing the ball that splashed on the lawn, Chu Zheng rushed to the end line of the small penalty area and directly kicked the ball.
Perfect tacit understanding, perfect passing and running!
However, the next second, Ziller made a world-class save.
Relying on the perfect position in front of the goal, Ziller, who sat down on the ground early, quickly stretched out his left foot and blocked the ball directly from the baseline.
Seeing that such a ball could be saved, Chu Zheng slapped him so hard that water splashed everywhere, and then he buried his face in the wet grass.
On the sidelines, Guardiola was so angry that he wiped the rain off his head, and then he kept applauding. This is the right way to play!
However, before Manchester City could continue to make a difference, Vardy gave Manchester City another slap in the face.
This time Manchester City, from the fans to the players to Guardiola, was really confused by Vardy.
