Chapter 213 Capture of White Hart Lane

"Luo, you can easily catch up to the record that Lao Tzu created with great difficulty."

There was a little jealousy in his tone, but Vardy, who showed more congratulations on his face, rushed up immediately, bent down and lifted Rossi high.

Yes, this is Rossi's 11 consecutive Premier League games, scoring goals.

Not only tied the new record set by Vardy not long ago, but also secured the top scorer list with 16 league goals.

Behind him are Vardy with 15 goals, Harry Kane with 11 goals, Lukaku with 11 goals, Mahrez with 10 goals, Giroud with 9 goals, and Aguero with 8 goals.

This season, the reason why Leicester City can be among the best in the standings is due to the three strikers.

The counterattack team they formed has become one of the sharpest striker combinations in Europe.

At the end of halftime, the players of the two teams returned to the locker room, but their expressions were completely different.

"Attention everyone, take the time to drink water and rest, we will continue to play like this in the second half." Ranieri encouraged the players while clapping his hands.

The defense in the first half was well done, limiting Tottenham's offense, and successfully played a wonderful counterattack and scored a goal.

You must know that there were only 3 shots in the first half, and only one shot was on target to score a goal.

"If you can keep a clean sheet, I'll treat you to pizza after the game."

Unlike the happy Leicester City, Tottenham's dressing room seemed a little lifeless.

It wasn't that they didn't work hard in the first half, and they strictly implemented the coach's tactical arrangements, and even hit the post once.

But after missing the goal that was close at hand, they were caught off guard by the opponent's counterattack instead.

Pochettino rolled up his sleeves and said: "I didn't see a strong breakthrough, and the cross was flustered, which is why we had the advantage but didn't score."

"Boldly attack, grab the ball back immediately if you lose it, don't stand still in a daze."

"Listen, you have to give me your all in the second half."

"We're going to play deep on the wing, Sun, go warm up and get ready to play."

After the exchange of venues, the second half of the game began.

But in the face of Leicester City's intensive defense, Tottenham still have nothing to do.

The cheers of White Hart Lane echoed over the stadium. The fans hoped that through this method, they would bring strength to the players of the home team.

But Tottenham still pinned their offensive hopes on Kane alone.

Kane, who responded in the penalty area of ​​Leicester City, was double-teamed, unable to turn around and threaten the goal, and lost the ball.

Although he counterattacked quickly, delaying the opponent's counterattack.

But in the long run, Kane's physical fitness will be wasted in the contest with the defender.

In the 46th minute, Kane retreated to take the ball, almost on the same line as the midfielder Ali.

Leicester City is afraid of Kane's ability, Huth will press up immediately, and Kanter will also come to form a double-team with his teammates.

After taking a few steps horizontally, Kane found the passing space and quickly distributed the ball to Lamela who inserted in the back.

While Kane retreated to pass the ball, the midfielder Ali quickly advanced, and the two completed a vertical penetration.

boom!
Lamela didn't stop the ball, kicked the ball directly, and the ball hit the goal with a curve.

Ali pushed forward, Morgan chased back, and the two touched the ball almost at the same time.

Hey!
Amidst the low shouts of the home fans, Morgan's tackle even brought Ali down in the penalty area.

penalty?

The eyes of more than 6000 fans at White Hart Lane were fixed on the referee Lee Mason.

The referee faces the bottom line, puts his fingers together and raises his arm at 45°, pointing to the corner kick area.

Shhh!
The home fans booed to express their dissatisfaction with the penalty.

Off the court, Pochettino was furious, and the assistant referee rushed to the fourth official on the sidelines to appeal.

But Lee Mason insisted on his penalty.

Lamela took a corner kick and was cleared out of the penalty area by Morgan.

The second penalty was still controlled by Tottenham players, and they began to attack around Leicester City's defense again.

From this attack, Ranieri also saw the opponent's tactical adjustment.

His method of coping is still that the two full-backs should expand the lateral defensive area and limit crosses from the side.

Unable to attack for a long time, in the 65th minute, Pochettino replaced two people in a row, Dembele replaced Eriksson, and Sun Xingmin replaced Tom Carroll.

Removing a defensive midfielder and replacing it with an attacker, Tottenham must strengthen the offense and press in the frontcourt.

Ranieri also made substitution adjustments. Ulloa came on to replace Vardy, who had returned from injury, and increased the height of the defensive set-piece.

Rossi often has to make up the midfield line and participate in the team's defense.

The addition of Sun Xingmin has improved Tottenham's frontcourt attack speed.

In the 70th minute, Leicester City made a cross from the wing and was cleared by Alderweireld. Tottenham launched one of the few counterattacks.

After Dembele passed two defensive players with the ball, he handed it over to Kane who retreated and took the ball.

Kane leaned his back against Kanter's defense, and at the same time half-turned, he observed that Sun Xingmin on the left had advanced quickly, kicked directly, and hit the space on the left.

Defender Danny Simpson is not fast. He did not choose to compete with Sun Xingmin on the side. Instead, he retreated to the center while returning to defense to prevent the opponent from breaking through the sideline.

Although Sun Xingmin got the ball from the wing and tried to fake it.

However, Simpson's defense is very stable, he does not take shots easily, and has been preventing opponents from breaking through.

Sun Xingmin, who couldn't find a space for continuous changes of direction, observed that Kane had rushed from the midfield to the outside of the penalty area.

First, he suddenly moved the ball forward, accelerated towards the bottom line, and then forced a cross with his foot.

boom!
The ball was blocked by Simpson out of the baseline.

corner kick.

Lamela took the penalty again, but was cleared by Morgan in front of the goal.

This is Tottenham's 12th corner kick in this game, and it still failed to put pressure on the opponent's defense.

In the 80th minute, Ranieri used Andy King to replace Mahrez to further strengthen the defense of the midfield.

In the 82nd minute, Kane retreated to catch the ball and passed it to the side. Sun Xingmin's speed advantage on the side made another vertical attack.

Sun Xingmin faced Simpson's defense again, first stepping on a bicycle to confuse the defense, this time he chose to dribble the ball laterally.

Simpson reacted slowly in the first move and was swayed by Sun Xingmin, but he followed quickly in the second step.

Kane's forward drive took away the defense of the central defender and created space for Sun Xingmin to shoot after passing.

boom!
Son Heung-min took a kick and shot to the bottom right corner of the goal.

Schmeichel first took a step to the left, then used his strength to face the ball, and fell to the ground to catch the ball.

Sun Xingmin kicked this shot hastily, with an angle, but not enough strength, the ball was easily confiscated by the goalkeeper.

Schmeichel quickly got up and launched a hand throw attack.

Leicester City fought back and swept again.

Albrighton on the left advanced with the ball and made a pass all the way to the bottom line, but was cleared by Alderweireld.

The corner kick is taken by Fuchs.

Rossi rarely stood in the penalty area and participated in the top fight.

"Hey, watch out for number 24!"

A player who seldom participates in the competition for the top, his appearance in the penalty area must be arranged purposefully.

Fuchs' corner, headed back and Rossi is moving towards the touchdown.

Lamela stepped forward and interfered with Rossi's jump with his hands.

At the same time, Alderweireld also double-teamed from behind.

But Fuchs's cross had a great arc, and the goal was not to find Rossi.

It was the central defender Huth behind him.

When Alderweireld realized that he had made a mistake in judgment, he hurriedly turned around to defend, but it was too late.

Without marking, Huth stood firm on the spot, aimed at the dead corner of the goal, swung his head from back to forward, and pushed it firmly.

Ben Davis, who was standing on the goal line, wanted to clear the siege with a header, but Huth's header was so powerful that he aimed at the top corner of the goal, which was completely powerless.

[GOAL! ! ! ! 】

[Leicester City expanded the score and almost locked in the victory of this game. 】

[This is a serious defensive error by Tottenham. 】

[Unexpectedly, no one was going to mark the high school defender Huth, but to double-team Rossi who did not have the advantage of competing for the top. 】

[Tottenham, have to pay for their mistakes. 】

[The price is to give the opponent three points. 】

After the Leicester goal, Ranieri replaced Rossi with Shinji Okazaki.

applause!

In the stands of the visiting fans at White Hart Lane, there was applause.

And there were sparse applause from other corners of the stadium.

This is the applause from some neutral fans.

Tottenham's diehard fans will not applaud their opponents, although Rossi's performance is perfect.

In the last less than 10 minutes of the game, although Tottenham organized several attacks, they were all resolved by Leicester City time and time again.

In the end, Leicester City captured White Hart Lane with a score of 2:0.
