Chapter 947 Endless
Among the coaches who are active in the mainstream European football leagues today, Ranieri is a special one.

Ranieri's coaching career has lasted for more than 20 years. Serie A, La Liga, Premier League, and Ligue 12 are all over his footprints. Among the [-] clubs, there are many giants such as Juventus, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, and Chelsea. Can get any weighty trophy.

It's about Ranieri leaving a lot of jokes because of the language barrier during his coaching at Chelsea, and Chelsea fans will only remember Mourinho.

However, his rich and repeated failure experience has shaped Ranieri's steady and even cautious character. When he was behind 0 to 1 in the first half, he did not try to command the team to attack in the second half, but retreated sharply. Stick to the area within 30 meters.

Under such circumstances, it was very difficult for Sun Wu to attack the middle lane, and the horizontal left and right scheduling of the midfielder did not work. Leicester City defended the penalty area, and Mahrez came back to help defend, leaving only Vardy in front to harass Manchester United. defense.

Within a quarter of an hour of the start of the second half, Manchester United, unable to break through the iron barrel formation, repeatedly shot from long distances. Not to mention the front Trident and Sun Wu, even Lucas, Pavard, and even Alderweireld came.

Among them, Sun Wu and Paval's long-range shots were of high quality, but Schmeichel Jr. played well, making two wonderful saves to keep the goal clean.

In the 60th minute, Sun Wu saw that the effect was really bad, and ordered the team to retreat to try to lure the snake out of the hole. After all, Leicester City was one goal behind.

But Fox City hardly moved forward, the forward line and the midfielder were completely out of touch, Japanese forward Shinji Okazaki became a midfielder, and only Vardy ran hard alone in the frontcourt.

Sun Wu looked at Ranieri on the sidelines bitterly, saying that the white-haired old man is a tinkerer, but I think he is a brown candy!
What is Ranieri thinking?
Of course, it is impossible to swallow a 0-1 defeat. He wants to stay until 80 minutes later, adjust the player positions and substitutions, and see if there is a chance to score an equalizer. Anyway, he is facing an 11-game winning streak. Manchester United, losing is not ashamed, scoring points is victory.

However, there were consecutive accidents in the 72nd minute. Lucas threw a sideline ball in the frontcourt. After a few passes, Mane tried to break through from the side and was tackled by Simpson.

"Mane is injured..." Zhang Lu said worriedly: "Holding the inner thigh, it may be a strain...Manchester United has suffered a lot of injuries this season."

"I couldn't hold on any longer, and Mane made a substitution gesture to Sun Wu." Zhan Jun sighed: "There are Lingard and Shaqiri on the bench now, let's see if Sun Wu will... It's Shaqiri, the Swiss winger is on the field The performance of the game is very average, let's see if this time the substitute will improve."

Sun Wu is a bit regretful. Even if he doesn’t have much savings, he should use a medical insurance card for Mane. This Senegalese winger is Manchester United’s sharpest breakthrough weapon. Shaqiri is far behind in terms of state and attitude.

But Sun Wu didn't expect that Shaqiri's condition was so bad.

Simpson's foul just now gave Manchester United a free kick, because it was close to the touchline, Sun Wu handed it to Shaqiri.

However, the free kick taken by the Swiss winger was too low and was directly blocked by the wall discharged by Leicester City.

Sun Wu also didn't expect Shaqiri's attitude to be so bad.

He just regretted that the quality of his free kick was not high, and even lowered his head to see if the lawn was uneven, but he didn't fight back!

Manchester United was immediately punished, Mahrez in the wall took the ball and sent a long pass directly, and Vardy started a high-speed forward from the center line.

Theoretically, in this counterattack, it is very difficult for Leicester City to score, even a good-quality shot is difficult, because although Vardy relied on his explosive power to grab a spot on the right side of the penalty area, Lucas firmly stuck the inside line , Kanter and Pawar are also returning to defense at high speed.

But at the next moment, probably knowing that the attack was basically useless, Vardy adjusted his pace and shot directly from the right corner of the penalty area.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKOOOOOOOOALAAL!"

"Super world wave, Jamie Vardy equalized the score, he is really Manchester United's nemesis!"

The ball drew an arc in the air and passed De Gea who was guarding the front point, and got into the back corner without any suspense. Sun Wu, who was returning to defense, couldn't help but open his mouth... Nima, this goal is so familiar, Yuan Shikong China seems to have scored Liverpool's goal, but now it's Manchester United's turn to suffer!
The entire King Power Stadium was boiling. Vardy took off his jersey and danced wildly in his hands. The live camera found the ecstatic Ranieri on the sidelines and Sun Wu who was smiling wryly.

Resentfully throwing the ball to the middle circle, De Gea looked helpless. Facing such a world wave, he can't do much, and his teammates didn't make a mistake, and he didn't even have a reason to get angry.

"This is Vardy's 10th league goal this season. He has scored in double figures for two consecutive seasons. We may see Vardy in the European Cup next year." Zhan Jun praised: "Rooney has already transferred After going to the American Major League, Welbeck and Sturridge were frequently injured, and currently only Harry Kane and Sterling are eligible to play the main players in the England national team."

Zhang Lu said with a wry smile: "It's all right now, the initiative has fallen into the hands of Leicester City. If Guardiola is watching the game, he must be very excited..."

Uh, Guardiola, who is watching the live broadcast, is actually not excited, but is trying to figure out Leicester City's counterattack tactics, but Arteta, Torrent, and Patrick are very excited.

But what Zhang Lu said was right, the initiative fell into the hands of Ranieri.

Leicester City can accept a draw, but Manchester United cannot tolerate this result.

In the 76th minute, Sun Wu replaced Kanter with Lingard, then replaced Falcao with Harry Kane, and started a full-scale attack.

A full-scale attack may lead to losing the ball again, and Sun Wu is well aware of this, but he is willing to take such a risk.

In the 82nd minute, Vardy almost had another chance when Huth cleared from the back, but Phil Jones stopped Leicester City's possible second goal at the cost of a yellow card.

In the 85th minute, Lucas shoveled Mahrez and also got a yellow card.

Leicester City's counterattack was impressive, and Sun Wu put all his energy on how to break the iron barrel formation.

In the 88th minute, there was a sigh in Manchester City's office.

"If you want to foul, foul early!" Arteta can't wait to play in person, "Such a short distance is a gift for Best!"

"That is, Best scored 7 direct free kicks last season, with a success rate of 53%, which is a terrifying statistic." Torrent also shook his head.

"The position is more upright..." Patrick smiled wryly: "It doesn't look very easy to play, but in fact it happens to be what Best is good at..."

Last season, Sun Wu's world-class positioning skills were fully demonstrated, with 5 assists from corner kicks, 7 direct goals from free kicks, super curve balls, powerful burst shots, deciduous balls, and S-shaped balls. You know, Sun Wu can take free kicks with both left and right feet.

Leicester City players were very nervous, Schmeichel was commanding the wall loudly, and Vardy didn't try to find opportunities to counterattack but stood obediently in the wall.

And Sun Wu stood directly behind the ball, his eyes kept scanning the left and right corners of the Leicester City goal, as if he was planning where to hit.

"This is Manchester United's best chance for a lore..." Zhang Lu murmured.

Zhan Jun nodded and said: "This season, Sun Wu has not scored a direct free kick..."

Everyone's eyes fell on Sun Wu, and everyone watched him start running...

Then... Griezmann, standing on the right side of the ball, swung his foot quickly.

Vardy, who was the first to react in the wall, jumped up in a hurry, but the ball grazed his scalp and flew into the penalty area and flew straight to the near corner.

"Shh!"

Little Schmeichel stood motionless in the center of the goal, turned his head and watched the ball suddenly appear in his sight...

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"It's not Best, it's Antoine Griezmann's goal!"

"Leicester City was completely deceived. Best's long-distance run-up made it impossible for the wall to take off, and Griezmann's shot had no difficulty!"

Sun Wu grinned and hugged Griezmann who jumped forward.

"Anthony, we are the best pair!"

There was indeed a tacit understanding, without any words or even eye contact, but Sun Wu's posturing and Griezmann's quick kick allowed Manchester United to complete a wonderful lore!

In the Manchester City office, Guardiola is also grinning, how can this guy's tricks be so endless!
