Chapter 15 Pearson's Counterattack
[Although no goal was scored, the tactics of the Queens Park Rangers have been played out, and the counterattack is quite sharp.Redknapp deserves to be an outstanding coach in the Premier League. When he is most negligent, he will give you a fatal blow. 】

[Although Benayoun is outstanding, Leicester City's Morgan's supplementary defense is also very important.Had Benayoun been a year or two younger, the ball might have been passed. 】

As the narrator said, Morgan's attack was very risky, and Benayoun divided him into two sides due to a little carelessness. Austin, who was outflanking the goal, was left unguarded.

After being intercepted, Benayoun blamed himself very much, hurriedly chased back and actively participated in the defense.

He is almost 34 years old and he is at the end of his career, and every game is precious.

In the next 10 minutes, both sides played more cautiously, and the Leicester City team did not dare to press too much.

The midfield defense of the Queens Park Rangers is very solid. It can not only limit the activities of the opponent's two wings, but also divide the center into several areas, cutting off the connection between the Leicester City players and making them useless. return.

And once there is a chance, the Queens Park Rangers also decisively counterattacked, making the midfielders of the Leicester City team unable to move up and down, which was very uncomfortable.

Pearson stood on the sidelines, watching the situation anxiously.

The situation seems to be evenly matched, but the speed and quality of the opponent's counterattack are quite high, and every step is aimed at their own layout.

Now I just hope that the first half will end soon, and I will use the intermission to adjust my tactics.

The fourth official on the sidelines raised the timing card, injury time, 4 minutes.

Pearson breathed a sigh of relief, walked slowly back to the bench, and waited for the end of the first half.

But at this time, Redknapp, who has been on the bench as a rock, slowly got up and walked to the sidelines.

With him, there is Wright-Phillips who is sorting his socks.

What's the situation, is this a substitution?
The first half has entered stoppage time, and no players are injured on the field. What kind of operation is this?
I saw Benayoun trot off, and Wright - Phillips high five hug.

Pearson deeply felt the fear of being dominated.

This is not to miss any opportunity.

In the last few minutes of the injury in the first half, most players and even the coaches will relax their vigilance and think about how to adjust during the halftime break.

However, Redknapp refused to let go of a chance and replaced the speedy Wright-Phillips.

What is this going to do?
In my home field, if you want to kill someone, you will kill your heart.

Pearson's buttocks hadn't settled down yet, and it popped out in an instant, and came to the sidelines to direct the battle.

At this time, there must be no accidents.

With 4 minutes of stoppage time, it was like going through a life-and-death battle. When the referee blew his whistle, Pearson hurried back to the locker room with sweat on his palms.

In just 1 minute, Pearson calmed himself down, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

Mahrez and Konokite are dexterous assault players with fast feet, can use rhythm changes to sway the defense, and have good ball control.

Therefore, in one defense and one moment, the breakthrough of the two will often bring a lot of trouble to the opponent.

In this game, the Queen's Park Rangers double-teamed the two, and the wingback's retreat very well restricted the breakthrough of the two, making Nugent in the middle no chance.

And Nugent also tried to ambush in the gap between the central defender and the wing back, and moved to the side after getting the ball, taking away the defense of the central defender and creating space for his teammates to advance.

However, the Queen's Park Rangers players recovered in a timely manner, preventing Nugent from taking the ball easily.

Moreover, due to the active pressing, Nugent had no good chance to play the ball and could only pass back.

"Listen up, the defense is very solid, we didn't have many chances in the first half. In the second half, what I want you to do is pass the ball laterally, mobilize their defense to move, find opportunities, and then hit hard."

Pearson demonstrated this set of theories, saying: "It doesn't matter if you can't score, you must be steady, don't lose the ball, and organize the offense patiently."

"Dell, James, and Luo, go warm up."

In the roster for this game, Chris Wood and Rossi are on standby as substitute centers.

When the team couldn't start the situation, Pearson didn't consider Wood, who had the advantage in the middle, but the teenager Rossi.

Chris Wood didn't understand, how was he worse than that rookie?
In the second half, Leicester City implemented the head coach's tactics, using lateral transfers to mobilize the opponent's defense.

But Lao Lei seemed to have seen through it a long time ago. Midfielders Kranica and Carl Henry quickly moved up, and Austin and Wright Phillips on the front line also retreated to the midfield to block the passing line.

Forcing Leicester City to return the ball to their own half and hand it over to the centre-back for transfer.

The delay in timing allowed the Queens Park Rangers defense to have enough time to defend the weak side, and Leicester City's lateral transfer was meaningless.

Although the players of the Leicester City team conducted patiently, the opponent was like a fortified wall, unable to enter by splashing water.

In the 68th minute, the Leicester City team made adjustments first, replacing Konokite with Lloyd Dell and Hammond with Matthew James.

Leicester City attacked, and after Drinkwater took the ball, Nugent moved to the wing to attract the defender to chase, and then Lloyd Dell on the wing quickly inserted into the center.

The switch between the two made the defensive wingback Aso Ekto hesitate. For a while, he didn't know whether to help defend Nugent or defend Lloyd Dell's insertion.

It was just a second of hesitation, and Lloyd Dell had inserted into the penalty area, ready to receive the pass at any time.

Onuoha, the central defender of the Queens Park Rangers, saw that his teammates did not respond. While stepping forward to defend, he yelled at Ektor: "Fill up the defense."

Ekto, who had just reacted, hurriedly chased back. Seeing Nugent's pass, he couldn't help but think about it, and flew up and slid the tackle to destroy the ball out of the bottom line.

Although this attack did not threaten the goal, Pearson's substitution was immediate. It was to use the center forward and the winger's substitution to cause a mistake between the wing back and the center back, creating opportunities for Nugent who was pulling the ball horizontally and cross.

Lloyd Dell was replaced because he has the ability to quickly advance in the middle and has the ability to shoot from a long distance, which can threaten the goal to a greater extent.

Faced with the changes in the Leicester City team, the old coach Redknapp was not too surprised, because the players would independently increase their defensive attention without his telling too much.

Moreover, although the Leicester City team can have a good offensive with this style of play, there is an important problem.

Nugent's side can get the ball and pass, but there is no high point in the middle to respond.

Pearson also quickly discovered this, and he decided to use up the last substitution.

Rossi, taking off his vest, stood on the sidelines.

This is the last substitution for Leicester City.

Redknapp, who was sitting off the court, was slightly surprised. He was not surprised to replace Rossi, but under the current tactical system, Chris Wood will play a greater role.

He didn't understand why Pearson put his last hope on Rossi.

The fourth official holds up the substitution card, No. 26 is off and No. 14 is on.
