"Nugent, are you going to score seven goals in the second half?"

In the locker room, Pierson's gaze rests on Nugent, cold and unforgiving.

Nugent was stunned. He knew that he had wasted several chances in the first half, and he also thought about what to do in the player tunnel.

I'm the team's top scorer, so what's wrong with getting the right to fire?
But Pearson's words made him a little puzzled, and he shook his head blankly.

"No matter how you catch up now, you can't become the top scorer in the league. If you don't want to be replaced in the second half, then don't shoot randomly, do you hear me?"

Pearson, who was on fire, his cheeks trembled slightly, and his fierce face made him tremble with fear. He forgot all the drafts he had thought up before, so he could only nod his head.

"All cheer me up, don't think that you are the champion, you can get carried away. Don't forget, we are going to participate in the Premier League next season. Could it be that our last game in the Championship ends in this way? ?”

"I can't afford to lose this man."

Next, Pearson began to arrange the tactics for the second half. The wide players should move between the full back and the central defender, and not participate in the organization or break through with the ball.

Because the position of the central defender is low, it is difficult to communicate with teammates and cause offsides to offensive players.

As long as the opponent's defense makes a mistake in coordination, Mahrez and Nugent can take advantage of their speed and succeed in anti-offside.

Midfielders Drinkwater and Lloyd Dell play an important role in organizing and advancing the midfield.

In the second half, Leicester City's offense began to gradually improve. Drinkwater was able to pass a high-quality behind-the-ball after receiving the ball in midfield.

Lloyd Dell used his speed to attract the defense and distribute the ball to the wing.

The gradual improvement of the offense has also made the home fans enthusiastic. After each offense, they are not stingy with their warm applause.

Just when Leicester City's attack was getting better, at another pitch, Birmingham fell behind.

This means that at the end of this score, Birmingham will be relegated.

After the Doncaster players received the live broadcast of their teammates on the bench, the pressure suddenly dropped by more than half. As long as they concentrate on defending, even if they lose, they can successfully avoid relegation.

The head coach of the Doncaster team also made adjustments in time, allowing the delayed central defender Tamash to step up and stand in the midfielder position to strengthen the defensive thickness of the midfield, so that the Leicester City team's anti-offside tactics came to naught.

Now the team's relegation situation is very good, and the players are playing very relaxed and confident, so that the advantages established by the Leicester City team have disappeared.

In the 65th minute of the game, the Leicester City team replaced two people in a row. Konokite replaced Lloyd Dell and Hammond replaced Andy King.

Strengthen the hardness of the midfield and liberate the offensive capabilities of Drinkwater and Konokite.

However, 5 minutes after the substitution, Birmingham fell behind again, and the relegation situation of the Doncaster team became even greater, and they played more easily.

The psychological advantage of the Doncaster team is rising, while the mentality of the Leicester City players is a little bit dead.

The strength of the two teams is very different, which can be seen from the standings.

But in this game, the Leicester City team was under a certain amount of psychological pressure, and the Doncaster team resolutely defended, which made them even more anxious.

Having not scored a goal for a long time, the club owner Vichai's face is already a little unhappy.

Although the team will lift the championship trophy after the game.But a draw is obviously a fly in the ointment.

And for this championship celebration, I spent huge sums of money to come to the famous singer and dance team. The scene was huge, as well as club executives and celebrities from Leicester City, all came to watch the game.

If he can't win this match, he will lose face.

Pearson calmly analyzed the situation. He didn't expect the opponent's resistance to be so tenacious. Veteran Phillips would definitely be replaced, but who would it be?
Chris Wood?

This kid is good at fighting for the top and heading the ball. He is a column center and can try to break through the defense from the center.

Schlupp?
His appearance can make the team's offense and defense more balanced, and it can also allow Konokite to move on the wing.

But one thing is, Doncaster's 4-4-2 formation, the interception ability of the central and frontcourt players is very strong, it is difficult to penetrate the center, and it is difficult to get the ball from the side.

The role of Chris Wood is not so obvious.

If this problem cannot be solved, Schlupp's playing is nothing more than a matchup adjustment.

What the team needs now is a player who can hold the ball and support it.

Pearson's eyes fell on Rossi.

hiss~
Rossi can serve as a striker, and his one-foot kick is exactly what the team needs now?
As for speed, wouldn't it be good to throw it to Mahrez and Konoquet?
Having figured this out, Pearson quickly made adjustments and let Rossi come off the bench.

In the 75th minute of the game, all the fans at the King Power Stadium stood up and gave the warmest applause to Kevin Phillips, who ended his 22-year career.

Although he only played for half a season, he only played 12 games and scored 2 goals, which is a good result for the 40-year-old veteran.

Especially the goal against Reading is the key.

Phillips also ran off the field and applauded the fans. Now the team urgently needs offensive time, and he can't waste it.

"Leave it to you!"

After Kevin Phillips handed the captain's armband to Rossi, he hugged him hurriedly and patted him on the back.

Rossi handed the captain's armband to Morgan, and after whispering to Nugent, they exchanged positions.

[Rossi is no stranger to Leicester City fans.In the five games he participated in, he contributed three assists and was the team's hero on the way to the championship. 】

[In the last round of the league, when the team was unable to open up the situation, the head coach decisively replaced him. This was a happy moment for him. 】

[Maybe you in front of the TV know little about this young player, but I believe that he definitely has the potential to grow into an outstanding player. 】

The on-site commentator Vera Baker praised Rossi very much after the team's game against Reading.

"The players who just came on the field look very young."

Pixie Lott, who has been on the rostrum, doesn't know much about football, but she can also feel the warm atmosphere.

Rossi's thin body is vulnerable to a single blow in a tall and burly arena.

Mr. Chairman shook his head and said, "Age is not a problem, he is a member of our team."

"You may have misunderstood what I meant." Pixie hurriedly explained, "It's just that there is a huge gap in physical fitness between him and other players."

Vichai did not continue to speak, but observed every move on the court.

After Rossi came on the field, he thought he would play the center position, but Pearson arranged for him on the wing.

For Rossi who has no speed advantage, isn't such an arrangement a defense?
Let Konokite in the middle press forward, and Rossi go to cover the space behind him?
All of this will be revealed as the game progresses.

Hesbender, the left back who defends Rossi, knows something about Rossi.

A player who likes to play tricks on the wing.

"Knocking the ball to change to extraordinary" has become a controversial topic for Rossi.

Although "one trick is fresh, it can be eaten all over the world", but if you always use this trick, you will get tired of it one day.

Husband's reaction is fast, the frequency of his feet is also fast, and his body balance is good. He specializes in "fancy punches and legs" on the wing.

Mahrez also switched to the right wing, but he restricted them to death.

Facing Rossi, he was full of confidence.

So far in the game, Leicester City's ball possession rate is as high as 70%, fully grasping the initiative, and soon launched another offensive.

Konokite advanced with the ball, but the center was blocked, so he had to look for opportunities on the side.

Rossi has no speed advantage, and it is particularly important to withdraw the ball after taking the ball.

When the ball passed the half-court, Rossi ran laterally from the side and approached the center, while Nugent in the center was preparing to run back and go straight.

At this time, the right central defender of the Doncaster team had to face a situation of one defense and two defenses.

Generally in this situation, if the full-back can retract in time and establish a defensive advantage with the central defender, he can advance or retreat.

The gap behind him will be handed over to another central defender for supplementary defense.

But after Konokite passed the ball, he quickly pulled away to the side, attracting Husband's defense and creating space and time for Rossi to take the ball.

The hesitation of the full-back and the right central defender allowed Rossi to get the ball without interference. When the opponent tried to block it again, Rossi had already passed the ball.

He passed not to the inline Nugent, nor to the edge-to-edge Konokite, but to the lateral movement of Mahrez.

Due to Nugent's running position, it attracted the attention of two central defenders at the same time, creating a space for Mahrez's lateral running.

Rossi's one kick can speed up the frontcourt attack instantly, and the three move almost at the same time, which to a large extent makes the opponent's defense a little flustered.

Mahrez seized this fleeting opportunity, drew a bow and arrow from outside the penalty area, did not stop the ball, and shot hard to the far corner of the goal.

The goalkeeper fought hard to make a save, and gently lifted the fast-falling ball out of the crossbar with his palm to resolve the crisis.

Hey!
This is the closest the team has come to scoring a goal, and Leicester City finally played what a champion should look like.

After playing, Rossi touched the ball with the first foot and almost assisted his teammates to score. Vera Baker, a fan and commentator, even opened his mouth and almost swallowed the microphone.

[Brilliant and unconstrained, I don't know what words to use to describe him.His running positions are always so erratic, and his passing is always so elegant. 】

[But the ultimate move is often hidden in a place that makes you dazzled. 】
