Chapter 230 The Sky Over Leicester is Blue, the Blue of the Blue Foxes!
Otamendi's center of gravity was shaken, and he couldn't stop Mahrez from breaking through.
Fernandinho rushed over with all his might. Mahrez didn't choose to continue dribbling and breaking through. Instead, he crossed with a half-high ball. Stones was about to clear the ball when a blue figure suddenly emerged from in front of him.
Vardy!
He rushed forward at high speed and headed the ball!
1:0!
Leicester City scored first at home, leading Manchester City!
The most beautiful inspirational fairy tale continues!
The Foxes took the lead in the eleventh minute.
The King Power Stadium can only accommodate more than 32,000 fans, but at this time, the overwhelming momentum is not inferior to a stadium with 50,000 to 60,000 people.
Thirty-two thousand five hundred seats are just the limit of the King Power Stadium, definitely not the limit of Leicester City fans!
The Blue Fox flag fluttered in the wind at home, the fans cheered passionately, their eyes widened, and their faces flushed.
Ranieri clenched his fists and jumped a few times. This may be the most exciting goal for him since the start of the league.
Guardiola was furious and very dissatisfied with Stones' defense.
As long as you concentrate, you can destroy the cross first. Why was Vardy able to head the ball first?
Stones was also extremely annoyed. He didn't expect Vardy to rush over so quickly.
Zhao Gang chased back all the way, but it was too late.
He walked up to Stones and expressed his apology.
Stones will be scolded for this goal, but it is Zhao Gang's fault.
If his ball hadn't been intercepted by Kanté, there wouldn't have been this counterattack.
Ultimately, it was his negligence that led to the loss of this goal.
He didn't expect Kanté to be so clever, and Leicester City's counterattack to be so mature and fast.
"Mahrez, Vardy, so fast! Manchester City's positioning is too far forward. Leicester City's counter-attack is extremely high-level. Two passes sent the ball to the center, and Vardy did not miss the opportunity again, scoring with one kick. Manchester City has indeed had problems in these two league games. They were the first to concede a goal, which is very different from before. Manchester City is the most adept team at the start of the game in the Premier League, almost invincible at the start."
"Yes, and Zhao Gang's condition seems to be a bit problematic. Dribbling the ball in this position, there was such a fatal mistake. This was never the case before, right? It seems like this is the first time that he lost the ball and caused the team to lose a goal?" Zhang guided carefully recalled. Zhao Gang certainly had mistakes, but such a big mistake, it seems that he had never had it, whether in the Premier League, the Champions League, the Europa League or the Championship.
"Yes, there was a similar mistake in the Premier League against West Ham United, but that time it was a very obvious foul by the defensive player, but the referee did not call it, which led to the team losing the ball." Zhan Lu's memory is still very clear, and the database is more advanced.
Zhang guided nodded non-stop, yes, yes, that's right.
"Kanté is still very smart, and his range of activity is extremely large. Just now he was on the right, and suddenly he appeared behind Zhao Gang, catching him off guard."
At this time, the home commentary of Leicester City was already crazy.
A long roar, "gooooal!!!"
"Mahrez! An unstoppable winger superman!! Vardy! Scored again!
Leicester City! A wonderful counterattack! Kanté, Kanté! He completed the steal from Zhao!
This is the first time, this is the first time Zhao has made such a serious mistake, created by Kanté!
In the entire Premier League, only Leicester City, only Kanté can do it!
Tonight, the sky over Leicester City is blue! It is our deep blue!
Blue Foxes devour the moon!!"
Kanté's two steals at the start of the game made all the Manchester City players pay twelve points of attention. The recent schedule made them a little tired physically, and their spirits were also a little scattered. They were awakened by a counterattack from Leicester City.
Especially Zhao Gang, now when he gets the ball, he pays attention to the surrounding situation at all times.
This little guy is fast and has good concealment, who knows when he will appear next to him.
Leicester City still adheres to its own policy, defense and counterattack.
Moreover, they have better physical strength, run more, and the cooperation between the players is tacit. The cooperation and supplementary defense are very in place, making it difficult for Manchester City players to find perfect opportunities.
The magical object Morgan and the Black Hand Huth guarded the center, making Agüero suffer unspeakably.
Whether it was De Bruyne's cross or Zhao Gang's and Gündoğan's central penetration, it was difficult for Agüero to receive the ball comfortably.
Huth's hidden pull and deliberate collision in advance made Agüero play extremely uncomfortable.
Leicester City's record is so strong, the foundation is defense, the ubiquitous blue figure, making the opponent like facing a copper wall and an iron wall.
The tenacious resistance in the midfield plus Kanté's ghostly steals easily create counterattack opportunities.
And their counterattack is also very simple and direct, that is, to find Mahrez, use his personal ability to break through, plus Vardy's very strong opportunity capture ability.
They don't invest many troops in the attack, which makes their defense very solid, and it is extremely difficult for opponents to launch fast and efficient counterattacks.
Ranieri's transformation of this team is very successful, and everyone can find their own position and give full play to their advantages.
Now that they are leading, they play more confidently and tenaciously.
Manchester City seems unable to find a breakthrough in a short period of time. After they lost the ball, there were not many ups and downs. Except for Agüero, who played a bit awkwardly, the others at least looked quite comfortable on the field and were not in a hurry.
Zhao Gang was in the center, cooperating with Gündoğan and De Bruyne, and advanced forward unhurriedly.
Kanté was still tirelessly running, bringing considerable pressure to the ball holder.
Zhao Gang and Gündoğan, who were wary, made no more mistakes. Facing Kanté, the speed of the two's passing became faster, making Kanté exhausted for a few minutes without gaining anything.
In order to stabilize the defense and worry about Sterling and Agüero running out of better opportunities, Leicester City's backcourt players did not support the midfield pressing, only Kanté alone, which was obviously not enough.
Kanté's steal is strong in its unexpectedness, accuracy and speed. When Zhao Gang is prepared, it is difficult for him to steal the ball again, and can only play a role of interference at most.
Moreover, his running and stealing often leave gaps in the area that originally belonged to him. Even if his teammates fill in, it takes time.
Zhao Gang used this point. He no longer forced a breakthrough to find someone, but kept passing the ball, allowing Gündoğan to run and take the ball.
In the constant pulling, Gündoğan dribbled the ball on the right and dragged a large number of supplementary defense personnel. Then, he kicked the ball out, Zabaleta plugged in, and quickly dribbled the ball forward along the sideline.
When the defenders followed up, Zabaleta did not continue to break through, but passed the ball back, finding Zhao Gang who followed up.
This pass quickly attracted the attention of the defensive players. When they started to act, Zhao Gang made a direct through ball, passing the defensive players.
Sterling dribbled the ball and accelerated directly, throwing off Simpson. He rushed into the penalty area and encountered the tall Huth. Almost without hesitation, Sterling secretly knocked the ball out of the penalty area.
In the last Champions League game, Sterling was a bit greedy for success, which led to missing a good opportunity, and Guardiola and Agüero taught him a lesson. In this game, he obviously changed his style of play. He did not continue to break through. It would be good if he succeeded, but once he failed, this offensive opportunity would be gone again!
"Gündoğan, Zhao Gang, good ball!"
Inler, Brighton and even Vardy followed back to defend. After receiving the ball, Zhao Gang on the arc quickly kicked the ball to De Bruyne who was running on the left.
De Bruyne turned lightly and passed Simpson. In the penalty area, Morgan quickly filled in. It was difficult for De Bruyne to pass the ball to Agüero, who was fighting against Huth.
He passed the ball out again, and Zhao Gang's position was empty again.
However, Leicester City's defensive resilience was full. Seeing De Bruyne's pass, someone immediately blocked Zhao Gang's shooting route.
He glanced at De Bruyne and faced De Bruyne, raising his foot.
The defensive players misjudged in a flash, thinking that this ball would be passed to De Bruyne, who continued to run.
As a result, a low flat ball, extremely concealed, reached the penalty area!
The running and pulling of several Manchester City players left a small gap in the penalty area.
When Agüero saw Zhao Gang getting the ball again, he perked right up, his big eyes were about to pop out.
He turned around, got rid of Huth, and appeared on the other side.
When he saw the football appearing exactly on his running path, it was like seeing his own father.
He is still my brother, he understands me!!
Agüero only needs to run two more steps forward to directly sweep!
As a result…
Thump…
Agüero sat directly on the ground with his legs straight, watching helplessly as the football rolled into Schmeichel's hands.
Agüero was so angry that he was about to transform. He sat there shouting desperately, signaling that Huth had committed a foul.
A group of Manchester City players shouted loudly. The referee whistled and pointed to the penalty spot.
The Manchester City players were quiet. Agüero stood up in a flash to grab the ball. Little Schmeichel hugged the ball and ignored Agüero at all. He ran to the referee and protested. Leicester City players surrounded the referee. Huth spread his hands and kept explaining, I touched him, but it was just a confrontation.
The simplest confrontation, he dived, this is too obvious!
The fans at the King Power Stadium also kept booing, hoping to influence the referee.
The referee shook his head and faced Huth, I saw it clearly, you kid pulled someone.
Confrontation is okay, but pulling someone is not okay, the jersey is deformed, you tell me it is physical confrontation?
Your kid's defense has always been unclean, pulling, elbowing, deliberately bumping into people.
I've been watching!
Now you dare to play tricks in the penalty area?
Penalty!
Must be a penalty!
