Chapter 28: Leicester City's Counterattack!

"Leicester City's defense this time was completely manipulated by Mo Yang with applause!"

"His cooperation with Mane directly attracted Leicester City's defensive focus to the left half, and then Mo Yang sent precise guidance and accurately found Salah, who was unmarked on the right!"

"Mo Yang did a good enough job with this goal! It's a pity that Firmino and Salah's continuous shots and supplements failed to break Schmeichel's ten fingers!"

In the pp sports live broadcast room, Zhan Jun watched the replay of Schmeichel's two consecutive strikes with an expression of wonder on his face.

Zhang Lu nodded and answered, "Schmeichel chose the timing of his attack very cleverly, very much like his father Schmeichel Sr.!"

"He moved forward before Firmino broke through, obviously anticipating the upcoming danger."

"Just two steps compressed Firmino's space for movement, making it impossible for Firmino to continue moving forward and had to make a hasty start."

"His predictions are also very accurate, and he gets up very quickly after getting off the ground. He is really an outstanding goalkeeper!" Zhang Lu praised.

"Yes, a good goalkeeper can sometimes hold up an entire defense!"

"Liverpool, they missed a golden scoring opportunity at the beginning. This reminded me of their game against Brighton, all kinds of wild shots, but they were just a little bit behind!"

Zhan Jun nodded, "I hope this game won't be so evil!"

Soon, Arnold stepped forward to take a corner kick.

This season, Klopp deprived Mo Yang of the right to take corner kicks because Klopp felt that it would be a waste not to use Mo Yang's abnormal jumping ability, so the corner kick rights fell into the hands of Arnold.

Arnold took a corner kick, but he didn't look for Mo Yang from behind.

What he found was Van Dijk in the middle.

But Van Dijk did not hit the ball due to Morgan's interference.

After the two people took off, they didn't know who knocked the ball toward the right goal post.

At the back point, Chilwell was guarding Mo Yang. He desperately blocked Mo Yang behind him, but he still couldn't stop Mo Yang from taking off.

Behind Chilwell, Moyang Dapeng spread his wings, soared into the wind, and accurately hit the ball that was hit.

In front of the left goal post, Schmeichel didn't pounce this time, but he blocked it.

Mo Yang wanted the ball to be close to the goal post, but Schmeichel couldn't resist Schmeichel's accurate position selection, completely blocking the near corner. The ball hit Schmeichel's left shoulder and bounced out of the baseline.

Soon, Arnold took another corner kick. This time Liverpool also got the first shot, but was pushed out of the baseline by Mo Yang.

Since then, Liverpool's four-minute offensive has been suspended.

On the sidelines, Leicester City coach Puel shook his head.

When playing against Liverpool, even at their home court, Liverpool gave him the feeling that they were playing at home, which was very helpless.

After regaining possession of the ball, Leicester City began to seek stability.

Starting from the midfield and backcourt, Madison and Endidi are responsible for sorting out the ball.

"Leicester City has been in possession of the ball for two minutes, and Liverpool's high pressure in the frontcourt is not very effective!"

"After training last season, the growth of these two midfielders, Endidi and Mendy, is very obvious!"

“When Leicester City introduced Mendy, a defensive midfielder with Kante’s characteristics, they hoped to develop another Kante!

"Unfortunately, it turns out that there is only one Kante, but although Mendy is not as good as Kante, it seems to be very good so far!"

"Yes, he has plenty of physical energy, a wide coverage area, and his ability to steal the ball and advance is also good!"

"Coupled with the fact that they introduced the attacking midfielder Maddison from Leeds United this season, the strength of the midfield has been greatly enhanced!"

In the comments of Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu, Leicester City's attack came out of the blue.

11 minutes and 38 seconds of the game.

Morgan was pressed by Firmino at the top of the key and he chose to pass back to Schmeichel.

After Schmeichel got the ball, he took it directly to the right half, waited for Pereira to come back, and then pushed the ball directly over.

Pereira brought the ball to the sideline of the penalty area. When he saw Firmino rushing over and Mane blocking him in front, he directly took a long pass to the front wing.

At the landing point, Gazal seized a favorable position in advance and stuck Robertson behind him. When the ball fell, he took off and rubbed the ball towards Madison in the middle circle.

Before Madison could catch the ball, he saw Henderson and Wijnaldum coming over from the left and right.

He knew that if he chose to stop the ball, not only would he have no chance to turn around, but he would also lose the ball, so he raised his right foot and passed the ball back to Mendy.

Mo Yang predicted Madison's return pass, but because the distance was a bit far, it took time for him to get to Mendy.

And Mendy is not stupid either. He knew that Mo Yang would block him once he stopped the ball, so he took the risk and passed the ball forward.

The ball kicked by Mendy was a half-high ball and went straight to Madison in front of Van Dijk.

The moment Madison caught the ball, he saw Van Dijk coming up from the corner of his eye, so after removing the ball, he suddenly made a straight pass while dribbling the ball horizontally to the sideline, and stuffed the ball behind Robertson.

At the same time, Gazal, who was ambushing behind Robertson, continued to penetrate along the sideline and intercepted the ball before it rolled out of the sideline.

On the right side of the penalty area, Gazal was in place, but Robertson was not slow either. He blocked the inside line and did not rush forward.

Gazal waited for Madison to advance into the right rib area, then suddenly passed back in an inverted triangle, and then advanced again.

Robertson was a step slow when he raised his foot to intercept, but he knew what Gazal and Madison wanted to do, so he quickly started to catch up.

Sure enough, Madison responded to the ball in the next second.

Gazal's pass from the bottom line of the penalty area was blocked by Robertson's slide tackle.

Soon, Madison took a corner kick, but it was cleared by Van Dijk, and the ball fell to the feet of Ndidi, who was trailing behind.

Ndidi passed the ball to the right and the ball returned to Madison's feet.

The changes of Leicester City this season were revealed at this time. They played very patiently. Through Madison's sorting, the ball transfer was very fast and the cooperation with each other was also very tacit.

Seeing his team trapped in the penalty area and being attacked, Klopp frowned.

In the 13th minute of the game, after a continuous shift between the left and right halves, Madison suddenly tried a 45-degree long pass outside the rib area of ​​the left half, looking for Gazal at the back point.

The astute Gazal rubbed the ball in front of the goal, and the ball went straight to the goal post.

Just as the ball was about to miss the post and fly into the goal, Alisson, who was blocking the near post, raised his hand and stopped the ball directly on the goal post.

This scene made the 32,500 fans present bulge their eyes. It was the first time they saw such a coquettish save.

Immediately afterwards, more than 4,000 Red Army fans who came to the King Power Stadium applauded Alisson.

Gazal's ball was very subtle and the ball speed was relatively fast. If an ordinary goalkeeper were to replace him, he would probably not be able to react.

But Alisson relied on his excellent position selection and reflexes to intercept the ball in time.

Compared with Karius, they still like this little fat guy more.

After Leicester City completed this shot, their offense also picked up.

Many times, he used multiple people to pass the ball on the wing or in the middle, quickly transferred the ball, and directly attacked the Liverpool goal.

On Liverpool's side, Mo Yang also reduced the number of pressings after discovering it, and intercepted Leicester City's attacks with Henderson many times.

"Judging from these more than 20 minutes, Leicester City's 100 million spent is very worthwhile!"

"After Madison joined, they became more fluent in passing the ball forward in the midfield, and the offensive idea of ​​combining the wings and center is also very good!"

Zhang Lu nodded, "Liverpool has also changed. Their interception efforts in the middle are constantly increasing!"
