Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 286 The three best players in Leicester City! A dreamlike celebration! (Ask for monthly ticket)

"Oh!"

Vardy kicked a short pass to Odegaard, who turned the ball to Fox on the right with a serious expression.

It seems that the criticism before the game still had some impact on the Norwegian youngster.

"Press, press, press!!"

Porto seemed to have a tactic to grab the start. Casillas directed the players to press towards Leicester City's backcourt and perform high pressure.

While they were pressing, Chen Yufeng, Mahrez and others also entered Porto's backcourt to wait for opportunities.

Now, we just have to see whether Leicester City can pass the ball to the frontcourt, or whether Porto can directly intercept this pass and launch an attack.

"Okay, viewers, what you are watching now is the second round of the Champions League group stage, Leicester City vs. Porto."

CCTV commentator Zhu Xiaoyu once again appeared in the commentary box to provide commentary to the viewers in front of the TV.

At this time, CCTV was still purchasing the rights to the Champions League year after year and attached great importance to the spread of this event in the country.

There is also a reason. The bubble football in the Jinyuan era of the Chinese Super League has not passed yet, and fans are indeed paying high enough attention to football.

“In the first round, Leicester City beat Brugge 5-0 and got off to a great start, while Porto drew 1-1 with Copenhagen, with only a few points left. one cent."

When Zhu Xiaoyu was introducing the audience, Fox on the court had already passed the ball back to Odegaard. Odegaard made a wide long pass and accurately found Mahrez on the left side of the frontcourt.

"These two teams are also considered to be the two strongest teams in this group. The result of the match between these two teams will most likely determine the first qualifying team in this group."

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides..."

On the court, Mahrez has led the team's Porto defenders to break through.

The two fell into a high-intensity confrontation on the wing. In the end, Mahrez passed the ball back and found Danny Simpson who came forward.

Since the pre-match introduction had not yet been completed, Zhu Xiaoyu did not pay much attention to the situation on the field and was still reading into his notebook, "For Porto, goalkeeper Casillas."

"The back line from left to right is Telles, Marcano, Felipe and Layun."

"Double defensive midfielder, Danilo Pereira partnering with Torres."

"In terms of the three midfielders, Ottavio, Adrian, and Andre."

"The one at the front is another Andre Silva."

"This is a relatively competitive configuration. In fact, I position it as a top 16 team in the Champions League. I also hope that Porto will not fall behind this year."

After Zhu Xiaoyu's words, the situation on the court was already in another state.

Porto seemed to have completed a steal, but was accidentally intercepted by Leicester City during the attack, and started a counterattack directly in the midfield.

"Bang!" This time their play was relatively simple. Kanter passed the ball directly to Chen Yufeng.

Chen Yufeng returned to Odegaard, and once again chose to penetrate forward, and received Odegaard's through ball, forming a one-on-one on the wing.

"Leicester City's starting lineup has not changed much compared to before. Vardy, who is suspended in the Premier League, started the game in this game."

"This is a point of knowledge. A red card suspension in the Premier League will not affect the Champions League. These are two separate competitions."

"Okay, detailed introduction, goalkeeper Schmeichel, back line from left..."

When he said this, Zhu Xiaoyu raised his head and glanced at the screen, and then the voice suddenly stopped.

Because he found out, this seemed to be a very threatening attack.

Porto's defense was very empty, and there were even two people marking three Leicester City players in the middle.

It seems that during this transition from defense to offense, Leicester City played very quickly, briefly causing confusion in the opponent's defense.

"Let's take a look at this attack first. Chen Yufeng has reached the bottom line. Do you want to make a pass?!"

"A high ball pass! Back point!! This is Odegaard running a big circle from the right front midfielder position and coming to the defensive blind spot!!"

"Can Odegaard score his first goal?!"

Zhu Xiaoyu's voice became more and more excited, and the situation on the court was also undergoing earth-shaking changes.

I saw Odegaard's figure appearing at the back point of Porto's penalty area, already unmarked.

"What about people?!"

Porto defender Marcano looked very angry, yelled and started complaining about his teammates.

If Odegaard scored the goal directly, where would he put his old face?

This was just the beginning. He didn't even complete a pass or touch the football.

Under the spotlight, Odegaard withstood the pressure, first removed the football, and then fired a cool volley with his right foot before the football landed.

"Bang!!"

His body is stretched very wide and his leg swing is very wide, which also contributes to the huge power of this ball.

Standing on the goal line, Casillas could only see an afterimage that seemed to be flying towards his position. When he noticed the path of the ball again, the football had already flown past his ears.

"Whoa!" A sound of hitting the net sounded, and Odegaard immediately opened his arms and roared in celebration, "Ah!"

"Yeahhhhhhhhh...!" The home fans of Leicester City also shouted loudly. Countless people stood up from their seats and clapped excitedly.    One to zero!

Less than a minute into the game, they took a 1-0 lead!

This is the young player Odegaard's first goal in Leicester City!

No matter from any angle, this ball definitely deserves everyone’s applause!

Odegaard ran towards Chen Yufeng. When passing by Marcano, who looked angry, he stretched both hands to his chest and showed a middle finger.

Of course, he raised his index finger, not his middle finger.

Odegaard is not stupid and will not let the referee take advantage of him. After raising his index finger, he looked a bit like he was celebrating his first goal in the top game of his career.

Of course, his two hands pushed straight towards Marcano, expressing the insult to the extreme.

But is it possible that this can also be blown?

"Beautiful! Odegaard!"

Ranieri turned to hug Steve Walsh on the sidelines and praised the young player.

I don’t know whether it refers to the goal or the actions after the goal.

Ranieri is steady, not rigid.

For someone who doesn't respect you, why should you respect him?

Isn't that a coward?

The football field itself is a place to vent your emotions. If there is an opportunity to vent, please do not hesitate to express your anger or joy to anyone!

This is a fight back!

A kind of response to Porto's pre-match remarks and provocations!

Leicester City has not received many provocations in the past two years, and most clubs still respect them very much.

But if faced with such a rogue club and rogue players, everyone knows what to do.

Ranieri will also encourage them.

"Oh ho ho..."

In the CCTV commentary seat, Zhu Xiaoyu hurriedly looked at the time board, then shook his head and smiled: "This is a very fast goal!"

"After the opening, Leicester City created an opportunity through the backcourt gap left by Porto, and the young player Odegaard successfully seized it and scored his first goal in the Champions League!"

"I was still introducing the starting lineups of both sides. I didn't expect the ball to come so quickly."

"Fortunately, I saw Porto's tactics to start the game. Otherwise, I don't know how to tell everyone the reason for this goal."

"Chen Yufeng, this is his second assist in the Champions League this season. Counting the previous game, he already has three goals and two assists."

"He seems to be playing like crazy this season, racking up statistics on all fronts. It seems that he is really aiming for the Ballon d'Or at the end of the year."

On the court, Porto defender Marcano threw his hands away in anger and almost rolled on the ground.

A goal was scored at the beginning of the game, which not only hit him in the face, but also made it difficult for him to directly trigger a conflict.

If a red card is given at this point in time, the team will have no hope of winning.

You can only hold back this tone, or say it to your teammates, "Felipe, Layun! What on earth are you doing?"

Marcano threw his hands away and sprinted towards the two teammates who were pointing behind him, complaining: "Can't you come back! Who missed someone?!"

This kind of pressure monster is like this. You can only try to make the game go smoothly and have the opportunity to vent your anger on the other team's players.

Otherwise, when you turn around, this anger may be directed at your teammates.

Later, Everton's England goalkeeper Pickford was such a representative.

At this time, we may have to hand over the name of this representative to Marcano.

"team leader!"

Odegaard next to him naturally ignored him. After completing his movements, he came directly to Chen Yufeng's side and said, "Good pass!!"

This time, he did not jump on Chen Yufeng's back, but hugged Chen Yufeng's shoulders and rushed towards the sideline.

Of course he couldn't be that kid who always hides behind the captain.

After this goal, Odegaard hopes that like Vardy and others, he can become the person who attacks the team!

They are on the same front, and he is the captain's brother, not his child!

Mahrez at the far end also ran very fast this time. After running up, he hugged Chen Yufeng's neck from the other side and said with a smile: "Why don't you pass it to me? Huh?!"

"I also want a first goal in the Champions League! Damn it! If the ball is two meters further back, I can catch it!"

Despite complaining like this, Mahrez still laughed and ran forward with the two of them.

The three of them hugged each other side by side, much like the MSN forward organization that was so high-spirited at Camp Nou.

Perhaps Chen Yufeng was not as young as Messi at the time, and he was not surrounded by Suarez and Neymar.

But three people who also have a bright future, today, wearing jerseys symbolizing grassroots blue at the King Power Stadium in a small town, may have a unique flavor.

They are not that MSN, they are the best CME!

As for Vardy, who was previously listed among Chen Yufeng and Mahrez?

Well, because Vardy didn't tie his shoelaces this time, he could only wrap the thread anxiously in place, looking at the backs of the three with some envy.

How he wished he could join in and form the picturesque scene of the great years together.

Unfortunately, the bow on the sneakers is not obedient...
