Chapter 31: Creating a penalty
After the game starts.
Manchester United broke with their usual attitude, moving their formation forward quickly and launching a fierce pressing attack.
Leicester City, as the team that is least good at controlling the ball in the Premier League, faced with this situation and decisively chose to use the space behind the opponent's defense line.
After Mahrez received the pass from Vardy, he shook his body continuously to avoid Chu Feng's pressing.
"Nice getaway!"
"Perhaps it is because he has come up from the lower leagues that he has developed such excellent ball control skills."
"Just pass the ball behind him!"
Since Drinkwater left, Leicester City has assigned some of the long pass tasks in the midfield to Mahrez.
Although this will prevent the latter from fully exerting their breakthrough attributes, it will indirectly weaken the intensity of the frontcourt attack.
But this is also a sacrifice that has to be made based on the overall strategy.
Amid loud cheers from Leicester City fans.
The football spun violently and fell accurately into Manchester United's territory.
Vardy quickly came in from the back row, using his speed to the fullest.
Manchester United's midfielders and defenders are somewhat bulky due to their height.
When facing speed forwards, they are clearly at a disadvantage.
"Vardy pushed Phil Jones aside and shot directly from outside the penalty area!"
"Nice, De Gea! A world-class save!"
"Just 30 seconds into the game, Leicester City launched a quick attack that threatened Manchester United's goal."
“It can be seen that Luke Shaw’s absence still has a certain impact.”
“Here is a piece of data to share with you.”
"So far in his career, Vardy has scored from the back 41.7% of his goals, which shows how terrifying Leicester City's offensive efficiency is."
"Look at Leicester City's right corner kick!"
After making the gesture, Mahrez kicked the ball towards the penalty spot.
But Manchester United's "giant formation" is not just for show.
Matic overpowered Shinji Okazaki and headed the ball away.
The second landing point outside the penalty area.
Mata used his thin body to barely hold Ndidi back, and before falling to the ground, he passed the ball to Valencia who was making a run forward on the wing.
The latter burst out with terrifying speed and rushed along the sideline.
The transition from offense to defense is completed instantly!
Manchester United players sprinted forward madly, like an unstoppable torrent.
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, Leicester City immediately retreated as a whole, while accumulating a large number of troops to occupy the central space.
Leicester City head coach Shakespeare put his hands in his pockets on the sidelines, looking confident.
His defensive arrangement is very targeted, with the aim of limiting Manchester United's passing and scoring in the middle.
Without Lukaku and Pogba, what do you use to attack?
Mourinho sat steadily in the coaching seat next to him, his attention not on the person with the ball, but on the running figure on the left.
Since we have chosen Chu Feng to start, it means we have to open up the situation as quickly as possible.
The first wave of attack has the highest success rate! At this time on the green field.
Manchester United has advanced to the 30-meter area.
The frontcourt players are also constantly moving to the right.
In this situation, Leicester City had to tilt its defensive strength to ensure the numerical advantage in a small area.
And at this moment.
Valencia stopped suddenly and shook off Albrighton, using the tiny space to cross the middle.
"Keep an eye on Manchester United's No. 6 and No. 9, they are the biggest threat."
Leicester City captain Morgan shouted loudly.
His judgment was very accurate and he also followed the coaching staff's pre-match arrangements.
At present, Manchester United’s main tactics rely on Pogba and Lukaku. As long as the two hubs are strangled, Manchester United’s offense will be difficult to gain momentum.
Leicester City players made adjustments immediately after hearing this.
As the lens shifts.
Pogba quickly glanced behind him, took the initiative to meet the ball and pretended to pass it straight, attracting the attention of two defensive players.
"Hey, just pass the ball behind you?"
"Mkhitaryan, when did he get to the middle?"
Zhan Jun was full of doubts.
Before he could come up with an answer, the football was moved to the left side of the penalty area again, and a figure that made him excited appeared on the screen.
"Pay attention to that Chinese boy, his dribbling skills are very good."
Simpson heard the captain's instructions and rushed over decisively.
According to the coaching staff's prediction, he should be facing Lingard or Martial, so he doesn't know much about the young players in front of him.
But it doesn't matter.
Since winning the Premier League trophy, he has built up enough confidence.
It doesn't matter who comes! Meanwhile.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Countless fans held their breath nervously, staring at the two people who were getting closer and closer.
Simpson's steal was very big.
Chu Feng seemed to have expected this.
After all, the half-month review gave him a full understanding of Simpson and made him familiar with his various defensive habits.
So he started to move.
The body swayed slightly and the right foot was gently lifted, and there seemed to be a beautiful rhythm in it.
Simpson paused.
Should I knock or dial? I couldn't even tell the other party's true intention.
So he moved three times faster, hoping to sabotage his opponent before he could finish adjusting.
Snap! A crisp sound of the ball hitting the target was heard.
Chu Feng pushed the ball out at a faster speed.
Simpson's mind went blank and he kicked at the air.
At this moment.
The two people passed each other, their backs facing each other.
Wow!!! The decibel level in the King Power Stadium suddenly increased, becoming extremely noisy.
"pretty!"
The dribble was completed in a flash, and Zhan Jun only had time to say two words before he was shocked again by the scene on the screen.
Under the watchful eyes of the public.
Chu Feng dribbled the ball towards the penalty area.
Maguire's assisting defense was very fast and blocked his path.
The two men faced off head-on.
At this stage, although Maguire has excellent frontal defensive ability, he has fatal flaws.
Too slow, too reckless.
When he stretched out his foot to steal the ball, Chu Feng had already touched the ball.
Then under the witness of the referee.
Although Maguire had reduced his strength, inertia could not be eliminated, and he eventually hit Chu Feng's supporting foot.
Falling to the ground The Royal Power Stadium seemed to have fallen into silence.
Mourinho was chatting and laughing with Faria on the sidelines. When he saw Chu Feng tripped to the ground, he immediately stood up and ran towards the assistant referee.
"Isn't this a foul? Isn't this a card? Isn't this a penalty?"
Experiencing the madman's three consecutive questions, the assistant referee was completely numb and explained helplessly: "The referee has his own judgment. If you do something similar next time, you will most likely be sent to the stands."
Mourinho turned his head and looked at the field, and found that the referee had blew the whistle, penalizing Leicester City for a foul in the penalty area and giving Manchester United a penalty.
He suddenly felt a little embarrassed and could only pretend nothing had happened and quietly returned to his seat.
Faria's eyes widened.
Before I could react, Mourinho had already rushed out, and his starting speed was comparable to that of Bolt.
Really Thanks to the book friends "Nanning Xiaoxiaoshengi", "Thinking It's Just Seven Years", and "Feng Jian Liushang" for their monthly tickets.
