Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 46: Aston Villa’s Three Axes (Please follow up)
Not long after.

In the King Power Stadium, the game has been going on for a long time.

"Oh!"

A somewhat heavy sound sounded, and near the Leicester City penalty area line, a player wearing iconic socks made a perfect arc.

Schmeichel fought hard to save, but unfortunately the ball hit the net before him.

"Yeahhh..."

The Aston Villa fans at the scene burst into a very loud celebration. Everyone stood up from their seats with red faces and made weak gestures towards the Leicester City fans area.

"Two to zero! Weak chicken!"

"Aren't you undefeated in five rounds? Those who didn't know would have thought you were going to win the championship!"

"Hahahaha, two to zero!"

"You have no room to fight back at all!"

They celebrated the team's lead very arrogantly and shouted at the silent Leicester City fans.

The player who scored the goal also excitedly rushed to the sidelines to celebrate by sliding on his knees, looking very excited.

Obviously, everyone knows what this game means.

"Grealish! The ball went in! Aston Villa's three axes knocked Leicester City unconscious!"

In the Sina Sports live broadcast room, Zhan Jun's voice sounded again, "In the 305th minute of the first half, after Hill scored a goal with a push shot, Grealish changed the score to [-]-[-]!"

"Aston Villa's attack was very fierce, and Leicester City seemed a bit difficult to resist during this period."

"The problem of their defensive line being unstable was clearly demonstrated in today's game. Their undefeated title may be gone!"

"..."

on the field.

The Leicester City fans lowered their heads in frustration and looked very lonely.

Most of the players on the field also looked at a loss. They had not encountered any obstacles in the previous games, but today, they suffered a lot.

Everyone had a confusing first half, including Chen Yufeng, who was on the left wing at this time. He had very few chances to catch the ball today.

The saying that there is no weak team in the Premier League is not just talk. Take a look at Aston Villa's offense in this game.

As a team at the bottom of the standings, they can still play fast and small-scale cooperation, and then complete the scoring with an efficient final blow!
If the defensive players dare to be unfocused on this field, they must be prepared to pay the price at any time!
"Morgan, Hut, don't be confused!"

Ranieri's expression on the sidelines was a little painful. This was the first time this season that he had such a big score difference at the beginning.

"You can do it, give me the first half!"

Ranieri, fearing that the team would fall into a more terrible collapse, shouted towards the field, and then looked for it on the bench, "Kante."

"I got up to warm up. When the second half started, I changed into my shirt. Did you see their No. 40? The player wearing socks."

Ranieri pointed at Grealish and said to Kante, "As long as you are on the court for one minute, you have to pester him like a fly for one minute."

"Let him feel uncomfortable, make him angry, let him lose all effects, okay?"

"I know the boss." Kanter looked towards Grealish. He was never afraid to defend any player.

Ranieri nodded slightly and touched the back of Kanter's head.

The team's prone to chaotic midfield defense made him really start to think about whether he should completely abandon the midfield organization and take a simpler and more extreme path.

Looking at Kanter beside him, he hesitated.

The opponent in the next game is Arsenal, a stronger team, and he must think carefully when making any decision.

"Beep! Beep--!" Not long after, the whistle that symbolized the end of half-time sounded, and the players from both sides walked down the court.

Ranieri stopped thinking and planned to think about this issue after playing against Arsenal.

He returned to the locker room.

Soon, the players also came back, and everyone was silent, as if they didn't want to talk too much.

"The defense in this area is a bit too chaotic. The formation always leaves gaps when moving as a whole. This is the biggest reason for the two goals conceded."

Ranieri started talking to the tactical board, with a somewhat urgent expression on his face, "In the second half, when attacking, find more of Vardy's points. Their central defender is very slow to chase back."

"and also……"

Ranieri definitely doesn't want to lose this kind of game.

Even though the situation is very bad now, he still wants to see a resilient team. "Come on guys! I want to see your [-]% focus and effort on the court!"

"Remember, don't be 95, don't be [-]! It's the concentration of [-]!"

Ranieri clapped a few times at the end, and the players gradually came to their senses and their expressions began to change.

Afterwards, team captain Morgan stood up and shouted to the players with a firm face.

"I hope we can pull off another comeback, even if we don't have much time left."

"Look at the arrogance of the fans on the opposite side and the sarcasm on the faces of their players. We will never let them walk out of the King Power Stadium easily!"

"Come on Leicester! No matter what the reason is, we have to fight for victory against Aston Villa. Cheer up, brothers."

"Don't let our fans down, they are some of the best in the whole of Europe."

"..."

Wait until halftime is over.

When the players from both sides returned to the court again, the Leicester City players still didn't talk much.

However, everyone seemed to have a touch of seriousness and determination on their faces.

They wake up.

They have known for a long time that the team has become a tightrope since last season's journey of relegation and points grabbing, which was one step away from life and death.

Even though many new players have joined this season, everyone still gets along very harmoniously.

There are no cliques, no conflicts, no individual heroism.

Everyone is fighting for this team and playing their best in their positions.

Even because of their strength and experience, they sometimes have a muddled half like they did now.

But after adjusting, they can still believe in themselves and this team!

"Beep!"

The buzzer sounded quickly at the start of the second half, and players from both sides once again got into a fight.

Kante replaced Andy King and stepped onto the field, standing next to Grealish.

Not long after the game, the Aston Villa players quickly discovered that this team was different from the first half, and gradually put a lot of pressure on them.

This made many Aston Villa players, who had been relatively relaxed just now, once again bring out their best and compete hard.

They are not supporting roles. In this game, they are also the protagonists on the court, and everyone is trying their best.

Game No.701 minutes.

Leicester City seemed to be cornered, with only the last 10 minutes left.

The disappointment on the fans' faces became even more intense, gradually turning into despair.

Cantor.

Players who often came on the bench at the beginning of the season stepped up at this moment.

He interrupted Grealish's dribbling in the midfield, and then used his explosive power to advance at high speed, reaching the frontcourt in the blink of an eye.

fast!
This was the first feeling everyone at Aston Villa had about Kante’s game.

"Bang!" Immediately, Kanter spotted a passing line and shot forward.

He has poor organizational skills, but after playing football for many years, he can still find gaps in this position.

In front of him, Vardy started quickly, kicked up his legs and instantly passed the opponent's defender and caught up with the ball.

"Oh!"

The following left-foot volley hit the ball directly on the side netting in the far corner of the goal!

Two to one!

Leicester City gets one back!
"Yeahhh..." The long-lost voice sounded, and Leicester City fans burst into cheers, their eyes rekindled with hope for this game.

Vardy didn't celebrate too much. After pumping his fist excitedly, he picked up the football and ran towards the midfield.

He wants to kick off the ball quickly and cherish every minute.

　Cast your vote with all kinds of data, brothers.
