Grass roots glory

Chapter 1119 Fate is doomed
2:2, Leicester City equalized the score in the first half. This game was just as everyone expected. It opened and closed, worthy of the scene between the Premier League championship teams.

Ranieri clenched his fists hard, the first half was able to equalize, and there was much more room for adjustment in the midfield, nothing is impossible.

Although Leicester City's lineup reserves are not as strong as Manchester United, everything is possible.How did the upset come about?
When you are facing only one game, even if the opponent is strong, there is no logic in this game.

Back in the locker room, Ranieri closed the door of the locker room excitedly, and encouraged the players excitedly: "Gentlemen, you did a pretty good job. That's it. Maybe Manchester United won't have such a big loophole in the second half, but We just want to be ourselves, no matter how they change, we only do one thing: press, fight with the greatest intensity, and you also have to fight smart, guys, Jamie did a very good job at this point .”

Ranieri paused, the atmosphere became a little weird, everyone laughed, and after a while Ranieri himself laughed: "OK, guys, I have nothing to say. Just need you to do this." One point, it's simple. Want a championship? It's a defensive fight. A lot of people don't believe that our team from a small place can climb that high. Let them see and see if we can do it .”

Claudio Ranieri waved his hands frequently. He is not a coach with such rich body language, but he is easily infected by the atmosphere of this kind of game. There were twists and turns, and the two sides equalized twice. lit.

On the other side, Mourinho closed the door. This madman who should be more violent than fire is extremely calm at this time. He waited for the players to replenish water, chewed half a banana, and did not say a word. Extremely calm, as cold as ice.

One minute passed, and the players had made the necessary supplements of physical fitness. Everyone looked at him, and many players still aimed at Zhou Tiancheng from time to time.

Mourinho didn't speak, and everyone didn't know whether they were satisfied or not?They all looked at Zhou Tiancheng's face. After Ryan Giggs' "locker room autonomy" last season, many players habitually regarded Zhou Tiancheng's attitude as the vane of the locker room. this habit.

"We gave our opponent too many chances, but overall, it's not bad."

Mourinho's words set the tone, and many players' eyes immediately relaxed. Only Smalling poured a chill on himself with the half bottle of mineral water still in his hand.

Giving the opponent too many opportunities... If it is true to say this, he is the only one who gives the opponent the most opportunities.

"Apart from the big gift we gave each other, they didn't actually have many chances, didn't they? Of course I believe that you are all good players. The second half is enough to learn a lesson. I don't want to see you make such mistakes again. In the You can have one chance here, but there is absolutely no second chance."

Smalling feels fortunate that he made two mistakes in a row. It seems that Mourinho gave himself a chance to "make a contribution".

Mourinho made the first substitution of the second half. Herrera made his debut this season. He replaced Fellaini. It's the right midfielder, but this is the real engine of Leicester City's midfield.In the entire team, apart from Zhou Tiancheng, only Herrera can defend any position on the court, and the defense is truly thorough.

Mourinho has many backup players, and even Schweinsteiger has not entered the squad. When he saw this familiar stranger, Yang Cheng laughed.

"Ander Herrera, here he is, this is the time for him to play. This is Manchester United, they want to defend the title, they must be more prepared, Jose Mourinho just threw a card at random ..."

When he said this, Yang Cheng really felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. This is the benefit of being a fan of the championship team, and he never needs to worry about it.

……

After all, Leicester City is still a grassroots team, at most it can only be considered a single-core team. This so-called core, perhaps many people think it is Vardy, because every goal of his is eye-catching... the scorer is always Being able to receive more attention, this law on the football field is never out of date.

But the real core is Mahrez, dribbling, breaking, passing, and when Leicester City intercepted the ball with an impressive defense, he participated in almost all of the fatal blows.

Even the most professional commentator may not discover this, but Mourinho must know it in his heart.

When Herrera used the strength of Leicester City's defense Zhou Tiancheng on Mahrez, Leicester City's offense was cut off instantly.

Ranieri didn't have a spare card in his hand at all. His first substitution was to replace Shinji Okazaki with Ulloa, which seemed irrelevant.His second move is to get the two full-backs back, and really start to start with defense.

It proved to be effective at the beginning of the game, but if he wanted to make a trick that was popular all over the world in front of Manchester United, he would inevitably think too much and be too confident in his players.

Now the mentality of the Leicester City players is different from the opening game. Although 0:0 and 2:2 are both draws, the desire for victory in the game must be stronger than the opening game at this time, and the pressing force is also more fierce, but they did not. Unexpectedly, Zhou Tiancheng's scope of activities has also expanded.

It was only then that Kanter realized what kind of person he was facing Zhou Tiancheng, and he was a little confused.When Zhou Tiancheng really ran on the court to catch the ball, he realized that his running ability was not weaker than him at all, which offset his greatest advantage.

He was useless in front of Zhou Tiancheng, the only thing he could do was fight fiercely, but fighting fiercely in front of Zhou Tiancheng would cost even more.

……

"Oh my God, another yellow card from Clarke to Kante! It's his second in 10 minutes - he's sent off! No complaints, what's the matter, face Zhou to be behind When kicking, you have to tackle, there is nothing wrong with doing that. The only danger is, Manchester United's set-piece, the game is already 85 minutes!"

The score was still 2:2. Although Manchester United's shooting data was twice that of their opponents, Leicester City insisted on defense to win the draw in the first half.But the troublesome thing is that the game has come to the last 5 minutes, but at this time, a set kick 29 meters away from the penalty area was given.

It was completely within Zhou Tiancheng's range.

Little Schmeichel's eyes were tense, and everyone held their breath.

"Zhou Tiancheng is definitely going to shoot, it's not suspense, let's kick it!"

Zhou Tiancheng took a kick, and the ball flew over the top of the wall at an absolutely powerful speed and went straight to the dead corner.

Without any skill, with absolute speed, as long as he enters the range of his [-]x mirror, he has a hundred ways to kick the chicken.

"Ah—the ball has been scored! The ball has been scored!!! GOOOOOOOOAL!!!!" Yang Cheng suddenly jumped up and slapped the table, panting heavily, but his voice still contained unconcealed excitement: "This time it should definitely kill the game. Leicester City will never have another chance. Do they want to win the championship? It's not that simple. Their fate may have been doomed long ago. This is the Premier League. They want to learn from Nottingham The miracle of the forest? Too bad it's only once."

Leicester City was very unwilling. Although Yang Cheng's words were somewhat biased, they were also true.

In today's football, which relies on banknotes to lay the foundation of strength, it is almost impossible for civilian teams to really rise.

Especially the Premier League, this is a game for the giants.

Leicester City is worthy of respect, but they may still have a chance, after all, the loss is only temporarily giving up the top spot.But maybe they are just the best supporting roles.

Fate may be doomed from the genes of their club at the moment of birth.
