Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 287 Marcano is out of position, this will be an outside instep shot! (Ask for monthly ticket)

"Marcano! Do what you have to do!"

Nuno shouted dissatisfied on the sidelines of the court. He waved his hands to express his dissatisfaction to the players, "The opening attack has to come back!"

No one wants to lose after saying harsh words before the game, and Nuno does not want to put himself and the team in a dangerous situation.

But judging from the current game scene, from the beginning, Leicester City has already shown its momentum and scored a goal.

What's next?

Isn’t this running towards a great victory again?

Nuno sniffed. It’s okay to lose, as long as you don’t lose by a big score. He had to remind you again, “Strengthen your strength! Don’t be like a fucking wimp!”

Under his roar, Porto reorganized their formation and moved towards the midfield position.

After Marcano complained, he also turned his attention to Chen Yufeng and Odegaard.

There is no doubt that he will take his anger out on these two people next.

"Beep!"

The referee quickly blew the whistle to restart the game. Porto, who was lagging behind, issued a mid-circle ball and the game continued.

Porto center Andre Silva served the ball from the center circle for the team, still finding the rhythm of the attack, leading the players to rush towards Leicester City's half.

They have indeed achieved good success in some local two-on-two and three-on-three situations.

However, as soon as the ball is hit to the center, their threat disappears directly, and the ball will be intercepted by Leicester City immediately.

When playing high ball, Morgan and Huth will give you a hard time. These two Premier League defenders are not afraid of Porto's high ball pass.

When it comes to long passes and low crosses, the English team is the expert.

They have grown up in that atmosphere since they were young, and they have been tempering step by step until they are now, crossing the single-plank bridge to represent the English team in the Champions League.

The air defense capabilities are not top-notch, so how is that possible?

And once Porto wants to play ground passing, Kanter and Odegaard will not agree.

Kanter has strong experience and strong individual combat capabilities.

Although Odegaard's defense was poor, the young man worked hard and ran hard.

For a while, Porto's attack did not create any threat, but several Leicester City counterattacks almost caused them to lose the ball.

This situation could actually be expected before the game.

From any perspective, Porto actually has no possibility of competing with Leicester City.

Which one compares to the basic strength of the players and the state of the team?

"Oh!"

In the 21st minute of the game, as Kante kicked Porto's attack towards Porto's backcourt, their opening attack officially failed.

The game then fell into Leicester City's rhythm. Even if they couldn't control the ball in the midfield, they harassed Porto's defense with up and down attacks again and again.

If you don’t know how to control the ball, don’t you know how to hand it over?

If they counterattack and grab two points on the spot, how can they not create a sudden transition from defense to offense?

Or pass the ball back to mobilize Porto's defense, and then hit the frontcourt with a long ball to create a threatening opportunity.

Under this high-intensity attack, Porto soon became unable to handle the rhythm.

They couldn't handle it normally and there was no hope of attacking, which completely aroused the bad thoughts of this group of players.

In the 24th minute of the game, Felipe hit Vardy in the face with his elbow while fighting for a high-altitude ball, causing the latter to fall to the ground in pain.

Just three minutes later, there was just a stab. Marcano, the focus of the game, made a sliding tackle and knocked Odegaard, who was dribbling the ball, to the ground.

"Beep beep beep!!"

The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and he rushed forward to stop the game and punished the Porto player for a foul.

Countless people immediately gathered around the scene of the incident, surrounding Marcano, as if demanding an explanation.

"If you insist on kicking like this, then let's have fun!" Vardy stepped forward with a fierce look on his face and pushed directly towards Marcano's chest.

Marcano didn't give in. When he came up, he was going to head against Vardy and start a confrontation here.

Chen Yufeng also gathered around the two of them, pushing the Porto players who wanted to come up to clear the way for Vardy.

He wanted to see who wanted to take advantage of this chaotic conflict.

There is no var now, and some actions are difficult to see with the naked eye.

"If you carry the ball again, I will knock you out and you will never be able to return to your Castilla home and never play another minute of playing time for the rest of your life."

After the confrontation between Marcano and Vardy, he pointed at Odegaard and threatened him, clearly showing his ugly face.

Some people are like this, you can't even use your brain to imagine why they can be so mean.

What caused his psychological distortion and turned him into such a shameless person?

Is there any point in exchanging dirty words with this kind of person?

It's definitely meaningless. Even if you win, you'll still be covered in the smell of shit.

Chen Yufeng also discovered this truth at this time. He knew that he still had to use the old method of talking about football.

"If you still don't get a yellow card for this kind of action, don't blame us for using this action against Porto players."

"When the game gets out of hand and you are the one who failed in your duty, that will be the biggest failure on your resume."

After putting some pressure on the referee, Chen Yufeng stood in front of the penalty spot for the free kick.

This is a well-positioned free kick, and Chen Yufeng has a chance to score it.

"Oh!"

Unfortunately, his subsequent shot was a little stronger, and the football flew out of the top post of the goal and failed to score.

Chen Yufeng shook his head regretfully and devoted himself to the next game.

It was indeed a little regretful that he didn't immediately fight back Marcano's dirty moves.

But don’t be anxious, there’s still a lot of time. Not every good opportunity can be scored. There are many factors that affect goals.

"We saw that the rhythm dropped slightly, and the consistency of the game was far from what it was during the opening period."

CCTV commentator Zhu Xiaoyu was sitting in the studio and could observe the situation of the game relatively clearly, "This may be because during this period, Porto players committed too many fouls."

"Tactical fouls and some unintentional fouls are actually normal situations on the football field, but what happened to Porto today is not the case. They seemed to deliberately want to anger the Leicester City players."

"Or, you can only attribute this to their style, which is somewhat provocative."

"We also hope that the Leicester City players can control their emotions and not let them take over."

While he was talking, Chen Yufeng just took the ball and cut inside and shot a shot from the outside of the instep.

This is still confusing the Porto players, giving them the impression that after cutting inside, they must shoot with the outside of the instep, making them deliberately think in this direction when defending.

Sometimes, this small detail of deception is very important.

Because that often results in a goal.

"Stab!" At the 34th minute of the first half, another sliding tackle sounded. Marcano tackled Chen Yufeng on the sideline, and then advanced with the ball, pretending that nothing was wrong.

A more ferocious shovel flew over. It was the young player Odegaard, standing up for his captain!

"Ah..." Marcano fell to the ground holding his right leg, wailing in pain.

His acting skills did not deceive the referee, nor did it cover up the flagrant foul he just committed.

"Leicester City, Odegaard, yellow card!"

The referee showed no mercy. After giving Odegaard a yellow card, he quickly gave Marcano one, "Porto, Marcano, a yellow card!"

"Walter?!" Marcano stopped pretending, quickly jumped up from the ground, raised his hands and complained dissatisfiedly.

In this position, he doesn't think this is a yellow card action.

Porto is a wealthy team in the Portuguese Super League. As a player of this team, Marcano must have been taken care of by Portuguese referees in the Portuguese Super League.

This care does not mean watching closely, but real care.

So after coming to the Champions League, it was as if he had not adapted to it. He complained very dissatisfiedly: "Is this a yellow card? Is the scale of the Champions League smaller than grapes?"

"Is this really a competition against the strongest? I really don't understand it."

He expressed his disbelief to the referee and instantly felt that he had lost money.

The defender got a yellow card, which is quite troublesome.

There is a risk that he will be dismissed directly from the game with a red card.

Beside Marcano, Chen Yufeng stood up from the ground with his lips pursed.

I touched my ankle, but nothing happened.

He didn't say anything, but waved to Odegaard next to him, indicating that Odegaard would send the ball directly to him.

The referee just gave Odegaard a card, which was more for making up for it. Before Odegaard committed the foul, the whistle for Porto's foul had already sounded.

So this is a set-piece opportunity for Leicester City.

This kind of free kick close to the sideline usually waits until the defenders enter the penalty area, pass the ball and then compete for the top.

But Chen Yufeng had no such intention at this time. When he saw that Odegaard had no reaction, he shouted: "Kick the ball to me!"

He thought of Neymar, a figure with mixed reviews. People praised him for his coolness and agility, and praised his talent that overflowed the screen, but they criticized his exaggerated falling to the ground and nightlife.

Chen Yufeng didn't think of anything else. He just thought that when Paris Saint-Germain's Neymar was repeatedly fouled by his opponent, he stood up with a smile, got the ball, waved to his opponent, initiated a one-on-one invitation, and finally succeeded in getting the ball from the front. Solve the battle.

That retaliation was really cool...

"Bang!" Odegaard woke up from his dream and kicked the ball to Chen Yufeng.

Chen Yufeng smiled after receiving the ball and went straight to the center of Porto's penalty area.

He has all the abilities to complete the pass. He just used the outside of his instep to deceive. Now, it is a good time to cut inside and shoot.

He wanted to play cool.

"come."

After waving to Marcano, who had not gone far, Chen Yufeng extended a one-on-one invitation.

Marcano, who had just received a yellow card, walked up carefully, looking for opportunities to steal without rushing into action.

Can he avoid getting passed without making a move?

The answer is definitely no.

"Boom."

A soft sound sounded, and Chen Yufeng took a step towards the inside position. At this moment, his body was like Peter Pan at his peak, agile and elegant.

Marcano thought this was Chen Yufeng's move, turned around and got stuck trying to squeeze out of his position.

"Oh!"

There was another sound, and Chen Yufeng moved towards the middle again, passing him perfectly.

As for his card position?

Fortunately, Chen Yufeng didn't use any force, otherwise there was an 80% chance that he would stumble and fall if he blocked the position.

Feeling Chen Yufeng's breakthrough ability and impact once again, Marcano cursed secretly, and then turned his attention to his teammates.

He waved to Felipe and others to get closer here quickly, and he did not forget to remind everyone, "The inward cut is coming! Be careful to block it!"

Seeing that Chen Yufeng had arrived near the penalty area line, Marcano pointed to Chen Yufeng's right foot anxiously and said: "Outer instep, be careful!"
