Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 389: Super fast transition between offense and defense, this is the palace of the UEFA Champions League final! (Ask for monthly ticket)
"The pace of the confrontation between the two sides is very fast! Each offensive and defensive transition does not take more than two seconds, and there is rarely any meaningless conduct in the backcourt!"

"This is necessary! In such a crucial game, all tentative and conservative behaviors will face great threats! Severe tests!"

"You are still measuring the distance between the two sides. Your opponent's bayonet has already been thrust towards you. How can I give you time?"

"Every minute you must be prepared to face your opponent's full sprint, and you must be prepared to poke out a sharp spear at any time!"

"The winner is admired by thousands of people, while the loser leaves the field lonely! This is a cruel football game!"

"Not to mention, this is a crucial UEFA Champions League final! This is a game that will go down in history! Everyone wants to be the winner!"

Everyone knows Huang Jianxiang's commentary style, which is always full of passion and enthusiasm.

Liu Yue, who is beside him, may provide more technical and tactical analysis and explanation of the situation today.

One focuses on feelings, the other focuses on techniques.

The division of labor is clear.

Not like himself, like his compatriot Conte.

From behind, Vardy followed up with a shovel shot, swinging his leg to kick Varane and the football at the same time.

Thank God…

"On the contrary, they are following Leicester City in their counterattack. The two sides can be regarded as attacking and defending each other!"

Before scoring, this style of play seems unlikely to stop.

"This is a very smart move. Zidane has proven many times that his coaching quality is no worse than his players' quality."

He was in the center position, using the movements of a defender to steal the opponent's defender!

It can be seen that Navas is eager to launch a fast attack!
"Bang!" Isco turned around and passed the ball to Modric. The latter was not in a hurry. After taking a few steps forward, he took a look at Ronaldo's position.

But Ramos started earlier this time. As one of the strongest central defenders in world football, there is no doubt about his ability.

After Real Madrid's shot was embraced by Schmeichel, the latter made a long diagonal pass directly to Albrighton's position. Albrighton quickly appeared with Carvajal at the landing point.

"Stab!!" But before Ramos could stand firm, Chen Yufeng's right foot hooked up.

The football that was shot rolled out of the baseline and missed the target.

"Oh...!" the Leicester City fans at the scene shouted. Every time the players of their team performed amazingly, they always cheered and encouraged.

"Beautiful! Well done!" Ranieri on the sidelines also clapped his hands and encouraged him. Today he seemed uncharacteristically chattering on the sidelines.

With the advantage of confrontation ability, Albrighton finally got the first landing point and threw the ball towards Chen Yufeng.

Maldini's sliding tackle!
This is where it comes in handy!

If he didn't get in, there was no need to argue. Vardy turned around and walked away.

It's just a bit similar.

Looking at the stadium at this time, the two sides were indeed counterattacking back and forth. Real Madrid scored and Leicester City stole the ball and launched a fast break!
Whether this fast break ends with a shot or a interception, Real Madrid will find ways to speed up the attack and launch an offensive directly from the center!
Then enter a new cycle...

Of course, there is definitely no such extreme neatness and coincidence. The mobility of the players on both sides is much better than in the offensive and defensive drills.

Kind of like an offensive and defensive drill?

Excellent opportunity!
"Beep!" But the referee's whistle sounded first, and he sentenced Vardy's offensive foul.

"..."

The ball boy threw the ball to him. After Navas placed the ball at Vardy's foul position, he rolled the ball to Isco who returned the ball.

He is right. CCTV must have carefully selected its commentators for the Champions League final.

This style of play intensified after fifteen minutes of the first half!
It didn't go as planned at all. Neither side had any intention of stopping, they just wanted to see whose gun tip was stronger!
"Oh!"

Liu Yue's voice sounded after Huang Jianxiang, "We can see that Real Madrid did not play the kind of super offensive football we imagined, and did not suppress Leicester City in their own half."

After passing the ball, Isco suddenly had a look in his eyes.

"He believes that Real Madrid players have stronger personal abilities, richer experience, and stronger tactical execution! Under the same tactics, they will not be afraid of the dark polo team!"

"If not, then it depends on the willpower of both parties. Whoever gets tired first will be the one in danger!"

Liu Yue coughed and gave his own method to break the game, "The main thing now is to see who can seize the opportunity during the transition between offense and defense! Who can miss the flaw first!"

Ramos did not expect Chen Yufeng to make such a standard sliding tackle, and was caught off guard and lost the ball.

Chen Yufeng stood up quickly on the court, glanced at Mahrez's position on the other side, and lobbed a high ball over.

"Ball, ball!! Give it to me!! Damn it, give it to me quickly!!" Navas in front of the goal turned around and screamed at the ball boy. The game had just started, but he acted as if he ran out of time.

He controlled the second landing point and completed a wonderful interception!

It seems that the risk of breaking through the middle is too high. Modric and Kroos have already filled in for Ramos. It is better to leave it to the wing for a long-term plan!
On the wing, Mahrez stopped the ball, made a slight adjustment and passed it to the penalty area!
"Bang!!"

This was a risky pass, and Isco just returned it from the center line.

It was agreed upon that you attack me once and I attack you once.

Being able to sit here means that he cannot be a straw bag.

Kanter is on the route!
Intercepted the pass!
Isco quickly stepped forward to press for the ball, but because he pounced too hard, Kante passed the ball. He turned around and chased, and saw Casemiro filling his position.

"This must be Zidane's arrangement. He was unwilling to open up space in the backcourt for Leicester City to work. Instead, he chose to use the Blue Foxes' main tactics to counter the Blue Foxes."

"Bang!" Casemiroren rounded his thighs and cleared the ball toward the frontcourt with one kick.

The ball didn't fly very far, it wasn't like a clearance, it was more like a high ball passed behind the Leicester City defender.

"Yeah...!" Real Madrid fans stood up from their seats again and waved in encouragement.

Ronaldo and Benzema started at high speed at the same time and chased behind Morgan and Huth.

Ronaldo's speed during this period is not slow, and he is definitely better than Morgan Huth. He is getting closer and closer to football step by step.

"Schmeichel!!" Huth had no choice but to call Schmeichel to attack.

At the critical moment, the super-fast Ashraf came over from the side and shoveled the football to the other side with a sliding tackle.

Chilwell, the young finalist, started his performance again.

The wing was very empty, and he dribbled the ball all the way forward until Modric appeared next to him before he chose to pass the ball to Drinkwater in the middle.

The youngster has already shown his calmness and stability at this time, which is why Ranieri felt relieved to let him play.

After a season of training, they have indeed become the mainstay of Leicester City and have contributed to the team. Without any one of them, Leicester City may not be in its current position. "Yufeng!" Drinkwater kicked a long ball towards the frontcourt.

The ball landed too deep. After Navas struck out, he held the ball firmly and then threw the ball in front of Marcelo.

Perhaps because he was too hasty, the ball also had some deviations, and he threw it in the middle of Marcelo and Achraf.

Half a goal!
An opportunity where risk and surprise coexist!
Ashraf rushed forward with firm eyes. As a player from Real Madrid's own youth training, he must have special feelings for Real Madrid.

On the stage of a Champions League final that may only occur once in his life, he certainly doesn't want the other team to underestimate him when he meets his own team. He wants to prove himself in front of Real Madrid.

At the same time, he is also very grateful to Leicester City for their trust in him and wants to repay Leicester City for their cultivation!

Therefore, he must fight for every ball and try his best!
Although his personal introduction says he is from Castilla, he looks like he is from Catalonia.

On the other hand, Marcelo's first judgment was obviously to underestimate this young player who had trained with the team several times. His first reaction was to hook the ball with his foot, frightening Ashraf and picking the ball past him.

When he found Ashraf bumping into him with an iron head, his pupils shrank and he quickly retracted his feet.

"Bang!" Marcelo still kicked Ashraf in the head on the way to collect his kick.

The football flew behind him, Achraf fell down holding his head, and the referee's whistle sounded.

Dangerous move!

Yellow card!

"what……!"

"what……!!"

Two completely different sighs sounded at the scene, coming from fans on both sides.

On the Leicester City side, they were excited and had the idea of ​​pushing the ball further, hoping to use this to put pressure on the referee to change the decision to a red card.

The dangerous moves can be big or small. They are far away from the scene of the incident and cannot see clearly as the referee. And because of their normal self-interest, it is normal to receive a red card.

As for Real Madrid fans, their exclamations are also pressure. During the opening period, a defender of the team received a yellow card, which is very detrimental to the team.

They want the referee to take back the penalty, and if that doesn't work, don't listen to the reminders of the assistant referee and the fourth official and just give it a red card.

In this era when var has not yet become popular, the power of life and death lies entirely in the hands of the referee.

"Red card! Red card! Look at our players!" Ranieri rushed to the fourth official on the sidelines. The fiery atmosphere at the scene made it impossible for everyone to calm down.

"Fart! Put away the red card! Marcelo's actions are fine!"

Zidane soon followed, and the two coaches, both good-tempered, almost had a conflict after choking each other a few words.

Real Madrid players and Leicester City players on the field were also preparing to lean towards the referee, whether for pressure or theory. Making such an action at this time seemed to be a routine operation in football matches.

"Red card!"

"Cancel the yellow card!"

People from both sides expressed their opinions rushed forward and started shoving. During this period, Chen Yufeng targeted Ramos for attack.

In the end, when the referee pulled the two groups apart, Chen Yufeng and Ramos, who took the lead, each received a yellow card!
People on both sides seemed to have failed to achieve their goals, but everyone could see that it was Leicester City who benefited.

Now, they can stare at Ramos and Marcelo for impact!
As long as they commit two or three more fouls, the referee will have every reason to show them a second yellow card and send them off!
Even if they carefully tighten their movements and no longer commit fouls, it will still be a huge loss of combat effectiveness.

A defender who is tied up will most likely not be able to guard against a forward.

As for Chen Yufeng?
He definitely doesn't have too many fouls, just don't flop.

"Bang!" Ashraf seemed fine after getting up, and launched a quick attack with a long pass.

This small episode did not change the rhythm of both parties.

But something seems to have changed.

This long pass was not placed very well, and it was cleared first by Varane on the left side of the back line.

The second point belongs to Kanter. He blocked Modric and took away the ball.

Modric's subsequent sliding tackle did not stop Kante!
"Bang bang bang!"

Kante drove straight into the frontcourt, and even after two or three unexpected encounters, he staggered past Casemiro and passed Ramos at the same time.

"Oh...!"

"Great!!" Even Chen Yufeng couldn't help but be excited. He ran towards the space behind Ramos and already saw an offensive line.

At the critical moment, Ramos, regardless of his own safety, once again forced his foot out of position, slightly rubbed against Kanter's supporting leg, and moved to him...

The scene was once again in an uproar!
The Leicester City fans stood up, pointed at the field and cursed, and the Real Madrid fans clenched their hands, extremely scared.

"I'll give you one last chance, remember? I don't want to send you off with two yellow cards in a row!"

Players from both sides approached the referee again, but the referee only came to Ramos' side and warned him without showing a yellow card!

Ramos’s last death-free gold medal has probably been used!

The only disappointment for Leicester City fans is that he did not leave the field at this time.

"Look at your players. As a super-rich club, is this how Real Madrid plays football?" Ranieri on the sidelines was very dissatisfied with Zidane's quarrel just now, so he became talkative again this time.

"The referee didn't give a yellow card. If you're not satisfied, go ahead and give him a yellow card." Zidane knew he was in the wrong this time and didn't say much.

He is thinking about how to let Ramos and Marcelo leave the field without receiving red cards.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a muffled sound sounded.

Everyone looked back and saw that Ashraf on the court came to the scene of the incident when no one was paying attention and kicked a free kick.

Send it quickly!

The Real Madrid players suddenly felt like something was stuck in their necks and had difficulty breathing!
At this time, most of the players are not in their positions, and the defense line is in chaos. If someone suddenly rushes out, they will face a fatal blow!
Many people's first reaction was to look forward to the referee's whistle, but they remembered the rule of fast serve.

No red or yellow cards were shown to the fouling players, the football was stable, no staff asked to enter the field, and the referee did not want to slow down the rhythm of the game!
Everything else matches, except for the last point...forget it, in the Champions League final, how could the referee want to slow down the tempo?

How dare he control the Champions League final? Most referees don't have the guts.

In the chaos, Chen Yufeng suddenly burst out from his ribs.

At this moment, Navas had just thrown away the water bottle in his hand in shock, and Ramos had just turned his head and looked behind him.

Varane?
Varane is still in front of the referee...
