Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 308 Where did the cheers come from? Of course I saw Chen Yufeng warming up! (Ask for monthly ticket)

On November 11th, the last game of the month arrived.

Leicester City sits at the King Power Stadium to face visiting Middlesbrough.

In this game, many starting players were placed on the bench, and Leicester City used semi-main players.

There is no way, the Champions League schedule is really too intensive.

Three days ago, they had just experienced a cross-country Champions League schedule, and many players were very tired.

You must not be too harsh when employing people, as it is very easy for injuries to occur.

"Beep!"

The game started at 7:30 pm local time. Ranieri stood on the sidelines with some anxiety, watching the performance of the rotation.

Chen Yufeng, Mahrez, Kante, Morgan and others were sitting on the bench and watching the game.

As the backup force in this game, while watching the game, they are also looking forward to their chance to play to save the team.

Of course, it would be best if this group of rotating players can win the game.

If they can't win, then don't lose too much, so that in the last twenty minutes, they still have a chance to play to help the team win the game.

"I'm ready to be a hero, no one can compete with me today."

Mahrez was sitting on the bench with a relatively relaxed expression, "The news after today's game is that the two teams were tied at 0-0 in the 90th minute. Mahrez came on to save the team and beat Middlesbrough. "

"That's what you said." Morgan showed a look of disdain next to him, "Can't we hope for a little bit? For example, we, a group of young players, can help the team win."

"Yeah, Mahrez has always been a dark person."

Chen Yufeng smiled on the side and said, "It's still selfish."

"I'm talking about the worst case scenario. Do you understand the worst case scenario?"

Mahrez felt that he had been misunderstood and hurriedly explained: "If you can take a break and give yourself a short vacation, who wouldn't want to?"

"Of course I expect them to win the game without us taking action."

"You'd better not take action. If the ball is intercepted and the opponent quickly counterattacks and kills us, then you will be the sinner." Morgan said next to him, and then everyone turned their attention to the court.

Just in time, Middlesbrough launched a quick counterattack, and a player on the wing kicked the ball to the center.

The Middlesbrough center stopped the ball with one kick and was ready to shoot.

"Get up!"

Maguire made an empirical mistake in this ball. Because he was eager to prevent the opponent's forward player, he actually pushed Huth out, hoping that he could intercept the ball.

But Maguire obviously failed to control his strength. His push directly pushed Huth to the ground, revealing a gap.

"Bang!" Middlesbrough's center shot successfully hit the lower right corner of the goal and scored the ball.

Maguire left a deep impression on everyone by defending his teammate Huth alone.

"Harry Maguire...!! Made a low-level mistake! This was a mistake based on experience. He shouldn't have handled the defense like this. He was a little too anxious!"

The English commentator on the scene immediately shook his head and shouted, and held a few seconds of silence for Leicester City.

That's the way young central defenders are, they will always make some mistakes.

We can only hope that they can grow from such mistakes and slowly move towards top players.

"It's over, Maguire made a mistake again."

Morgan was very helpless on the sidelines. Since he was a player in the same position, he often guided Maguire on some issues in training and always acted as a teacher.

Seeing Maguire make such an action, his mentality was very explosive. As a last resort, he turned his attention to Mahrez next to him, "I think I may need you now."

"Tch!" Mahrez crossed his arms and turned his head, as if complaining about the ridicule he had just received.

Chen Yufeng also felt cold, feeling that this mistake was inappropriate, and was ready to play.

This is actually nothing. Top shooters must use their own performance to turn the tide and win for the team.

If you can only play downhill and follow the team's offensive rhythm to earn a few statistics, you will never become a superstar.

Watching a superstar in a desperate situation is not just a saying.

If Milito didn't have those two golden goals in the Champions League final, then he would be just an excellent shooter and nothing else.

Although this ordinary Premier League is not as important as the Champions League final, it is definitely worth fighting for.

Only by continuously gaining three points will the team have a better ranking at the end of the season.

You must not lose your sense of expectation and motivation just because you have scored too many goals and played too many games in the Premier League. It is these basic games that create a world-famous marksman.

"Oh!"

The situation on the court improved in the second half. In the 57th minute of the game, Ndidi fired a high-quality long shot after stealing the ball.

This ball forced Middlesbrough goalkeeper Valdez to take his hand. If defender Chambers hadn't kicked the ball out of the bottom line in time, Oka Kirshinji, who had been lying in wait for a long time, would have scored without any suspense. ball.

Subsequently, Drinkwater stood in the corner flag area and took a corner kick for Leicester City.

Football quickly looked towards the center, and after everyone jumped up, people saw a big head standing out from the crowd.

It's Maguire. There is perseverance in his eyes to make up for his mistakes. He must score this goal!

"Oh!"

A heavy sound sounded, and Maguire's big forehead came into contact with the football. The football instantly changed its direction and fell into the net with two forces in different directions.

The ball went in!

One to one!

Maguire has completed his redemption!

This is undoubtedly a very important goal for this young central defender.

He seized the opportunity and brought the team back to the same starting line as Middlesbrough!

"Yeahhhhhh...!" Leicester City fans at the King Power Stadium burst into excited shouts, and everyone congratulated Maguire on his goal.

What could be more exciting than a story of redemption?

"Reversal! Reversal! Reversal!"

The Leicester City fans shouted, and everyone was looking forward to the victory.

They hope that this team, which has been tempered over time, can reverse the score again, just like the Red Devils during the Ferguson era.

"Beautiful! Maguire!"

On the bench of the stadium, Chen Yufeng and Mahrez stood up from here, rushed to the sideline, and hugged excitedly in celebration.

Morgan quickly followed and waved his arms together with the two of them.

Maguire is very sensible. After seeing the three big guys of the team standing on the sidelines, he ran over and high-fived the three of them.

"Well done! Forget that mistake! Keep going!" Morgan patted Maguire on the shoulder and encouraged.

"You can do it, just focus!" Chen Yufeng also encouraged him.

Maguire nodded solemnly, returned to his own half, and waited for the game to continue.

Middlesbrough, who was tied by Leicester City's rotation, stepped up their attack in the following period.

They are very much looking forward to this kind of game where they defeat the top players in the league, which will give the team greater confidence, leave the relegation zone as soon as possible, and complete the season goals.

Chelsea is difficult to beat, and so are the other big6 teams.

It seems that this game against Leicester City, which is not a well-organized Leicester City, is undoubtedly the best chance to win in recent times.

Middlesbrough coach Karanka stood on the sidelines of the court, constantly making substitutions and adjustments to adjust the formation and offensive direction on the court, making all his efforts.

"Hold on! We'll give everyone a holiday after this game! If we win, we'll have two days of holiday!"

Karanka looked at the watch in his hand while shouting encouragement towards the field: "You can do it, just like that time, do you understand?"

"Put pressure on their defenders, force them to make forced errors, and give you a chance! Come on!"

Karanka wandered around the side of the court, watching the time passing by, becoming anxious.

He longs for the team to get a chance, a chance to kill the game.

The desire to win reached its peak at this moment, and Karanka even felt that this was a game that was enough to reverse the team's momentum this season.

As long as he wins, he will have the confidence to lead this Middlesbrough team out of the relegation zone as soon as possible and into the mid-table position. "Ohhhhhhh...!" At this moment, Karanka suddenly heard a burst of cheers from the stadium, which was very close to the celebration after scoring a goal.

This made him stunned and puzzled. What were the Leicester City fans celebrating?

During this period, Middlesbrough's offensive came up, and Leicester City has been defending in the hinterland. Are these fans masochists?

Karanka's eyes couldn't help but look inside the stadium. He wanted to know what these fans were cheering for.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a gust of wind whistling past his eyes, and two players wearing Leicester City substitute vests ran past him.

Taking a closer look, it was Chen Yufeng and Mahrez...

"Shet!"

Karanka couldn't help but look at Ranieri next to him, with a sad look on his expression.

Didn't we agree on rotation for this game?

Can't we just let the players have a good rest during the rotation?

Why do they have to change to play? Doesn't this make them uncomfortable?

Even now, no one knows the power of Mahrez and Chen Yufeng. Even though the game only lasts for more than 20 minutes, there is no guarantee that the two of them can seize this little time and complete a goal.

"Back off! Get ready to back off! Let the players on the back line concentrate, the pressure is coming!"

Karanka immediately waved to the assistant coach. His voice was not loud, and sometimes he asked the assistant coach to shout tactical instructions from a distance.

The assistant coach quickly came to the sidelines and shouted towards the court.

There was some uneasiness in Karanka's wandering steps, and his eyes kept looking at the backs of Chen Yufeng and Mahrez.

Chen Yufeng just ran with his head down, doing basic warm-ups.

Mahrez seemed more conspicuous, constantly greeting the fans on the sidelines, as if the cheers started because of him.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some cheers were directed at Mahrez, but more were definitely directed at Chen Yufeng.

"Have you seen what a fox pretends to be a tiger's power?"

Karanka wanted to express his dissatisfaction with Ranieri's substitutions by attacking Leicester City players. He pointed at Mahrez's back and said: "That's it."

The assistant coaches next to him nodded slightly and turned their attention to Mahrez, who was staring at the far end.

At this moment, Mahrez hasn't felt anything yet. He is still waving to the sidelines and not focusing on warming up.

Yes, isn't this just a fox pretending to be a tiger's power?

…………

"Beep!!"

Not long after, the substitution card was raised.

Vardy and Albrighton, who had moved to the wing today, came off the field. Chen Yufeng and Mahrez touched the turf and rushed onto the pitch. Like two giant beasts, they roared towards the Middlesbrough backcourt. .

They came up with the task of scoring goals, and they all believed that they could complete this task.

"Xu...Xu~!" The fans' applause was mixed with some whistles. They were still looking forward to the performance of the two.

Mahrez quickly stood with Chen Yufeng on the wing, waiting for the opportunity, and the game resumed.

Karanka stood dejectedly on the sideline behind Chen Yufeng, wanting to go up and trip Chen Yufeng down so that he could not attack Leicester City.

It's a pity that he can only think about such dirty thoughts deep in human nature. He definitely can't do this.

"Beep!"

"Beep!"

"Beep beep beep!"

After the two came up, it was obvious that Leicester City's offensive strength had become stronger and the threat was gradually increasing.

The referee's whistle kept sounding and he kept raising yellow cards over the heads of Middlesbrough's defensive players.

There was nothing they could do. Under pressure, they could only foul.

"Oh!"

In the 81st minute of the game, Chen Yufeng received a pass from Drinkwater from the wing, then turned and dribbled the ball towards the Middlesbrough defenders.

This is a tall defender. In Ranieri's pre-game tactical arrangements, Chen Yufeng did not write down this player's name.

He doesn't care about anything, just pass him and it's over.

"Maguire! Maguire! Go back! Go back! You can't do it again!"

Several anxious shouts came to Chen Yufeng's ears. He looked up while dribbling the ball and saw Maguire inserted in the middle, already waiting for his pass.

In this case, you must strive for a good pass.

Since Maguire has the idea of ​​scoring twice to achieve greater redemption, he certainly cannot let down this defender with an offensive dream...

Chen Yufeng's breakthrough began quickly, and it was still a classic pendulum pass.

The Middlesbrough defender was obviously very flustered. As soon as Chen Yufeng made a fake move, he handed over his center of gravity.

Chen Yufeng directly kicked the ball behind the player.

"Oh!"

Then, a full-moon scimitar with an arc was passed towards the middle, looking for Maguire's head.

"Get out!" Karanka's expression on the sidelines was filled with pain. He could already imagine what was going to happen next.

Sure enough, the taller Maguire jumped higher than their defender and was stronger. He directly knocked over the defensive player and then headed the ball towards the goal.

"Shh!"

Valdes, the legendary goalkeeper who once won six championships with Barcelona, ​​​​is no longer able to prevent Maguire's high-altitude bombing after he gets old.

After waving his hand, he could only watch the football fall into the net with a crisp sound.

Valdes then spread his hands. He knew that after the goal was scored, not to mention winning, even a draw would become impossible.

Ranieri's substitution quickly produced results.

Did Ranieri make a good substitution?

No, it's just that Chen Yufeng and Mahrez's suppression is too strong and their ability to create opportunities is too strong.

These are two worthy opponents!

"Yeahhhhh...!"

Under the excited shouts of all the Leicester City fans, Maguire pointed his finger at Chen Yufeng on the wing and roared excitedly: "Captain! I completed the kill!"

"I did it! I did it!"

"If you lose the ball, find it yourself!"

Maguire seemed extremely excited. After rushing up, he jumped towards Chen Yufeng, but Chen Yufeng dodged it.

Just kidding, with his weight of 100kg, he can knock Chen Yufeng to the ground in one go.

Will this allow him to come up?

"Just get it back, young man."

Then, taking advantage of his age, Chen Yufeng stretched out his hand and touched the back of Maguire's head as he should, "We always have to bear the price for the mistakes we make."

"You did a great job, we're going to win."

"This three-pointer belongs to the team and to you."

You can say that Chen Yufeng has experienced the feeling of training future stars, or you can say that he has assumed the responsibility of captain and spurred the growth of these young people.

Anyway, Chen Yufeng felt that he should stand up and say something.

"Well!" Maguire waved his fists and then turned his attention to Morgan on the sidelines.

Just now, Morgan asked him to go back to defense and not to attack.

Maguire smiled and waved to the defensive teacher in his team. What he wanted to express was very clear - I did the right thing that time, I scored!

Courtside in front of the bench.

Morgan immediately waved his hand wordlessly and complained to Kanter next to him: "This kid drifted away after receiving two good balls. It's time to come down and talk to Chen Yufeng and stop encouraging his arrogance."

Next to him, Kanter couldn't help but nodded and gave a thumbs up.
