Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 133 Ups and downs
In the midfield lounge, Ranieri warned Vardy to be careful and continue to eat cards in the second half. He praised Zhang Mai's strong defense, and Zhang Mai's suggestion for the team's formation was blocked.

Don't make it difficult for the cautious Italian old man. The pressure to win the championship 1:0 is flooding the locker room. The teammates who are beginning to worry about gains and losses need a unified tactical thinking.

The second half of the game started, with Leicester kicking off from the center circle, Zhang Mai and Kanter began to suppress the rhythm and sway in the midfield, looking for a fighter to break through West Ham's defense.

In order to avoid Zhang Mai, West Ham's No. 27 Payette deliberately switched positions with teammate Emenick and became the team's right forward.

Zhang Mai was only authorized by Ranieri to command the team's frontcourt, and it was not easy to dictate to left back Fox.

Aware of the change in the opponent's personnel, Zhang Mai had to shift his defensive focus to the right in the midfield to prevent West Ham United from forming an offensive advantage on the right.

The conservativeness of Leicester City gave the tough "Hammer Gang" a taste of sweetness, and the advantage on the field gradually tilted towards West Ham United.

In the 49th minute, Payette's breakthrough caused Fox to touch the ball out of the bottom line, West Ham United won a corner kick, Payette sent the ball into the penalty area, and Carroll's header went wide.

Immediately afterwards, West Ham United's Moses made a cross from the left. Fortunately, Captain Morgan nodded and made a clearance.

Withstood a wave of shock from West Ham United, Leicester City also launched its own offensive.

In the 52nd minute, left-back Fox and Zhang Mai made a short pass and then made a pass from the bottom to the bottom. After that, Huth followed up with a header and headed high.

In the 54th minute, Shinji Okazaki received a heel pass from Zhang Mai, who was unable to turn around, in the penalty area. He was not prepared enough and lost the chance to shoot. He could only sweep the goal with his left foot, and Vardy, who followed behind, caught the ball under the interference of the opposing defender. Miss.

Vardy, who missed the goal himself, began to chatter to Shinji Okazaki who passed the ball again, making Zhang Mai's bad feeling in the distance more and more intense.

Sure enough, Doubidi, who was eager to score a goal, started acting like a monster again, this time casting a spell on the referee.

In the 56th minute, Vardy ignored Shinji Okazaki who ran out of the open space on the left, and took the ball to the penalty area and fell down. The referee did not blow the whistle to call a foul on West Ham United, but signaled the game to continue.

Vardy took the lead at once, got up from the ground and ran to the referee to reason, with a particularly excited expression.

It was too late when Zhang Mai and Okazaki Shinji, who felt that something was wrong, stepped forward to dissuade them. Doubidi froze instantly under the yellow card shown by the referee.

Vardy flopped and provoked the referee. Two yellows turned one red and he was sent off. Leicester City could only face West Ham United's 10 men with 11 men. The situation became tense immediately.

Only Shinji Okazaki was left in the frontcourt of Leicester City, and the released West Ham United full-back began to step up and assist frequently.

In the 60th minute, West Ham United left-back Antonio assisted on the right, and the 45-degree pass was too hard and went directly out of the left sideline.

In the 61st minute, West Ham United right-back Reed made a pass from the right. Payette, who outflanked the front point, made a clever shot with his heel and was cleared by Zhang Mai, who was following up.

In the 64th minute, Payette successfully broke through Fox's defense on the right, and before Zhang Mai's defense was in place, he made a long pass to the penalty area and was caught by goalkeeper Schmeichel.

In the 68th minute, it was West Ham United's return pass from the right. Center Emenick hit the goal from the front of the penalty area and went above the goal.

Ranieri couldn't sit still on the sidelines, so he quickly arranged substitutions to strengthen the defense. No. 13 Amata replaced Mahrez, and No. 23 Ulloa was also ready to go on the sidelines.

West Ham United coach - "Croatian Iron Man" Bilic is also deploying troops to strengthen the offense, and the methods are more ruthless, changing half of the midfielders at once.

28号兰奇尼、9号卡罗尔和11号瓦伦西亚三个攻击型球员上场，换下了进攻表现平平的16号诺布尔、14号奥比昂和20号摩西。

Shinji Okazaki, who was still on the field, became impatient and began to run hard in the frontcourt. However, it is difficult to say that the ball is difficult to get out of Leicester City's half. Saki Shinji's insurmountable two mountains.

In the 73rd minute, West Ham United won another corner kick. Payette sent the ball into the penalty area. Carroll headed towards the goal. Morgan made a rescue.

In the 78th minute, Zhang Mai defended and brought down Payette at the front of the penalty area, and the latter's free kick flew directly to the stands.

In the 80th minute, Zhang Mai's long pass in the backcourt accurately found Shinji Okazaki in front, and the latter was quickly submerged in West Ham United's backcourt without outflanking his teammates.

On the sidelines, Ranieri took advantage of the dead ball and immediately replaced the depressed Shinji Okazaki with No. 23 Uroya, which made Zhang Mai feel the Japanese's gushing sorrow.

In the 83rd minute, it was another corner kick from West Ham United. Payette sent a corner kick into the penalty area, and there was a sudden change. Morgan pushed Reid down in the chaos, which was clearly seen by the referee on the side. Leicester City was awarded a penalty Penalty penalty.

Carroll scored a penalty kick to equalize the score, Leicester City 1-1 West Ham United, and the boos and curses of the fans went straight to the sky.

The Leicester City players were hit by the opponent's equalizing goal, and most of their energy was vented at once, even if Zhang Mai stepped forward to encourage him loudly, it would not help.

"If a man has no fighting spirit, bad luck must come." It didn't take long for Leicester City, whose morale was low, to be hit hard again.

In the 85th minute, West Ham United central defender Cresswell volleyed violently from outside the penalty area, and the ball flew into the dead corner of the goal, Leicester City 1-2 West Ham United.

The deafening cheers at the King Power Stadium disappeared in an instant, and the fans of Leicester City seemed to lose their voices collectively in disbelief.

Zhang Mai, who had defended most of the court, was angry. He pulled Wu Luoya, who had just played, to wave to the home fans, and called captain Morgan and the two midfielders together.

"Even if we want to lose, our Blue Fox will lose standing up. If we don't attack, it will be a dead end!"

The game continued, and the desperate Leicester City's overall formation moved forward, restoring the previous defensive and counterattack formation of all members.

On the contrary, the West Ham United players had a disagreement because of the away lead. Seeing this, Zhang Mai immediately stopped helping to defend Payette and devoted all his energy to the offense.

In the 90th minute, Zhang Mai sent a low ball from the left side of the penalty area. Huth, who was in the middle, was pulled down by Obonna in the penalty area, but the referee did not say anything.

Ulloa was about to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Zhang Mai, and asked the Argentine to look at the stoppage time card on the sidelines:

"The referee is still fair, there are still 6 minutes!"

In the 92nd minute, Zhang Mai used his personal dribbling to break into the small penalty area and was tripped by Creswell. The referee immediately awarded a penalty kick.

Zhang Mai gave up the right to take the penalty to Ulloa, who lived up to expectations and hit a penalty kick to equalize the score, Leicester City 2-2 West Ham United.

Zhang Mai did not lose his composure amidst the roaring tsunami of the audience, but ran into the goal to pick up the ball and then reached the arc of the middle circle.

The fans in the audience were moved by Zhang Mai's actions and shouted the slogan "Leicester City must win!" in unison.

The players on the field of Leicester City were also reawakened by Zhang Mai to win, and all of them quickly returned to their positions and waited for the kick-off whistle.

The last few minutes of the game were my "Mai moment"!I want to lead the remnant team to win against the sky, and I will pay tribute to Leicester City's "civilians win the championship".
