Chapter 78: Chelsea Again (Part 2)
Is Eggsy’s prediction so strong?
He was a rookie who had only been in the game for less than half a year and had played no more than ten official matches. No one would believe him if he told others about it. So Eggsy didn't really have any predictions, but he just remembered the practice with Fabregas when he was at Ronaldo's house.
Fabregas always kept a certain distance from him, and this distance was his maximum range of activity. After returning from Ronaldo's house, Eggsy has been training his sense of distance, and even for a certain period of time, he maintained this sense of distance when practicing with his teammates.
After all, Zizi was unwilling to accept the fact that he lost to Xiaofa, and he was holding back his anger.
Leicester City's attack is not over yet. Vardy holds the ball outside the penalty area, with Eggsy on the left, Shinji Okazaki on the right, and Mahrez waiting for a follow-up shot or a return shot behind him. This beautifully blocked Chelsea's goal. It felt like a pack of wolves blocking the door and the sheep were trembling.
Chelsea was just beginning to play in the first half when they were frightened by the speed at which the old lady from Leicester City crossed the road. When they came to their senses, they found that Leicester City had successfully infiltrated. Chelsea was originally prepared to fight passionately with Leicester City, but Leicester City did not follow their script at all, which caught them off guard.
But no matter how unexpected it was, they still had to continue defending. They couldn't let a goal be scored in less than 10 minutes in the first half, right?
So Chelsea's players wanted to block their own goal. But this couldn't stop Vardy's explosive shot! Cech was not a pushover, he just jumped up and rolled the ball and got it.
Vardy did not show any disappointment, and seemed to know that the ball could not go in, so he went back. When he went back, he even bumped fists with Eggsy, who came over, and seemed to be in a good mood. This made Chelsea feel strange.
Although they lost the lead in the last game because they suspected Leicester City of having a conspiracy, it seems that they are going to make the same mistake again in this situation. But this time, everyone in Chelsea is sure that Leicester City is definitely having a conspiracy!
After Leicester City returned to defense, Chelsea attacked with the ball.
However, from the moment Cech kicked the ball directly into the midfield, Leicester City's defensive position was very intriguing. Eggsy, Mahrez and Shinji Okazaki were all standing on the midfield line, forming a triangle with two people in front and one behind.
This is clearly a midfield possession game. Chelsea lost a quarter last time because of this midfield possession game. They were beaten by Leicester City's possession game and wasted too much energy. So seeing Leicester City play this kind of defense that made them lose their temper, to be honest, they still felt a little nervous.
Eggsy was standing at the end of the inverted triangle, and when they saw Chelsea attacking, the three of them immediately focused on their target, and Eggsy was focusing on Fabregas.
This time, no matter how Fabregas broke through him, Eggsy would definitely distance himself from the opponent, but he blocked all of Fabregas's attack routes, which gave Fabregas a headache. It was clear that Eggsy was really strong, because as long as he knew that he had a weakness, Eggsy would do his best to smooth it out.
What a terrifying ability and perseverance!
Fabregas is now face to face with Eggsy again. Although neither of them has the ball, it is now a head-to-head battle in the midfield, and neither of them wants to let the other go.
Putting pressure on the opponent's midfield is also what a good midfielder should do, so the two of them are now blocking each other. When the ball reached Fabregas, Eggsy came up and surrounded him first, and then forced Fabregas to use his skills to bypass him several times, but he still couldn't bypass him.
When Fabregas tried to run around the left side to shake off Eggsy, Eggsy accelerated and slid towards the ball.
"Oh!" The host and the audience were originally excited about Chelsea's attack, but the next second Eggsy slid sideways and kicked the ball directly out of bounds. Fabregas looked at Eggsy speechlessly, then looked at the ball, but still reached out and helped Eggsy up from the ground.
"Nice shovel."
“You made a great breakthrough.”
The two of them praised each other before going their separate ways.
The players from both sides didn't approach them when they exchanged a few words, and only went to meet their teammates after they separated. The two sides continued to fight, and this time the attacking side had changed to Leicester City.
After disrupting Chelsea's attack, Eggsy did not rush forward, but thought about Chelsea's attack route just now.
At that time, Cech kicked the ball to the midfield, and then Fabregas and Hazard took turns to break through the midfield. Although their forwards were blocking the ball at their own doorstep and posed a threat, the threat was not strong.
Chelsea's attack speed just now was fast, and they wanted to catch their own team off guard, but Leicester City's defensive speed and completion rate were quite high, so they had to be extra careful when dribbling, and used Fabregas and Hazard to dribble the ball alternately left and right.
Chelsea is testing...
Thinking of this, Eggsy knew Chelsea's tactics and level, and could make corresponding adjustments immediately. He first stepped on the ball, clapped his hands to attract the attention of all his teammates, and then drew a circle with his right index finger. The teammates around him nodded as if they knew something.
"Eggsy is now worthy of being the core brain of Leicester City. The series of gestures just now should be the corresponding deployment." The host saw that both teams were in 433 formation. For a moment, he really couldn't think of what Leicester City was going to keep in suspense or what lineup they would play, so he simply didn't say anything.
In just 12 minutes of the first half, the two sides had completed a mutual test, and in the second attack, Eggsy chose a moderately fast and moderate style of play, eroding and penetrating into Chelsea's defense wherever he went, making each layer of their defense ineffective.
The head coach of Chelsea was so angry watching this. It was not so easy to be broken through in the last game. He knew with his knees that after today's game, the fans would scold themselves for having a paper defense.
Although Chelsea had a headache, the defenders did not relax, so Leicester City's attack still failed to score. However, compared with Chelsea just now, their speed did not change at all, which made Chelsea, who were used to the fast pace, play very uncomfortable.
But when Chelsea's attack was fast, Leicester City's defense was not slow, which made Chelsea a little depressed. When you hit me emotionally, you just hit me slowly, pin me down and beat me slowly, right?
Leicester City's slow-down strategy was not in vain, because Chelsea's own speed had been slowed down by 30 minutes into the first half. Because they had been rushing for 30 minutes, such physical exhaustion made Chelsea panic as a whole.
So they had to slow down, but once the speed was gone, what advantage would Chelsea have in their forward line? But they had to be dragged down by Leicester City, which was simply unbearable.
"Chelsea's impact was calculated by Leicester City from the beginning."
The host couldn't help but sigh. He felt that Chelsea was fine as a whole and the players played well, but the main problem was that the head coach was not good. He was always played by Leicester City. "It's the last 10 minutes of the first half. Will Chelsea and Leicester City have any... Wait, Leicester City started to attack!"
Leicester City's attack this time was very different. First of all, in terms of speed, although it was still not fast, after passing the midfield, Leicester City started to rush forward as if they had stepped on the accelerator. This was very uncomfortable for Chelsea, who were used to Leicester City's penetration.
The attack organized by Eggsy was a typical example of taking advantage of someone's weakness to kill him. When he saw that Chelsea's defense had some loopholes on the right, he immediately took the ball and started to advance rapidly on the left.
It was really a rapid progress. With two feints to the left and right, Eggsy passed two players in Chelsea's back line. Other Chelsea players saw that Eggsy had already made a diagonal run from the left. If they were not stopped, he might have shot!
Eggsy almost laughed out loud at Chelsea's sudden siege. He suddenly stopped and accelerated while attacking from left and right. Eggsy successfully made a diagonal run with the ball on the left. He turned around or jumped from time to time to avoid all the tackles and interceptions. His movements were graceful and elegant, and coupled with his dazzling golden eyes, everyone was thoroughly excited and cheered!
On the one hand, this diagonal run was intended to attract interception by all Chelsea defenders and give Shinji Okazaki a chance to break through, and on the other hand, he was really trying to see if he could break through and shoot.
This was a good opportunity. Eggsy knew that Chelsea's backcourt was a little tired and their body speed was not adjusted. Such an opportunity could not be regained.
So Eggsy didn't think much about it, he had already planned that if Okazaki Shinji couldn't rush in, he would rush in himself! The premise was that he had to rush in and shoot the ball himself!
Shinji Okazaki was really trying to block the ball, but Eggsy's attack was too fast, so he didn't have time to get to the position. Eggsy took a quick look at the situation and didn't think much about it. He just grabbed the opportunity and shot! But Cech, as Chelsea's goalkeeper, couldn't let the ball go in so easily.
"Shoot! This ball is powerful, Cech jumped and shot it out!" The host's mouth was almost constantly opening and closing, and the amount of words he uttered was amazing. "It's a pity that Leicester City scored this goal, is there anyone who can make up the shot, make up the shot... Eggsy blocked it!"
After Eggsy shot, Cech saved the ball, but the direction of the save was not good, so there was still a chance. So Eggsy and other players in the penalty area kept entangled in trying to get the ball, but suddenly a sliding tackle was made, and the ball actually went into the right goal along the ground!
"Shinji Okazaki, Shinji Okazaki made a successful follow-up shot!"
