Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 87

Since 2008, the Football Association has divided each round of Premier League games into three match days. The purpose is to cater to TV broadcasts, especially to cater to the viewing time of Asian fans. After all, it is to make more money. Now Many Premier League players have to sweat under the sun at 3 o'clock in the afternoon for the team's annual TV broadcast share of at least 4000 million pounds.

第14轮莱斯特城主场迎战曼联的比赛是联赛头两名对决的重头戏，被安排到周末最后一个比赛日周日的下午6点开始，也就是10月29日下午6点（英国本地时间）。

Leicester City's King Power Stadium is crowded with people and the team flag is flying. Among the more than 30000 spectators, there are only about 5000 Red Devils fans, and the rest are all Fox City fans wrapped in blue.

Zhang Mai sat on the bench and watched the list of both sides played on the big screen beside the court:

Leicester City (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: Schmeichel

Defenders: No. 17 Simpson, No. 5 Morgan, No. 6 Huth, No. 28 Fuchs
Back midfielder: No. 14 Kanter, No. 4 Drinkwater
Midfield: No. 26 Mahrez, No. 11 Albrighton, No. 20 Okazaki Shinji

Forward: No. 9 Vardy
Manchester United (3-5-2):
Goalkeeper: No. 1 De Gea
Defenders: No. 12 Smalling, No. 33 McNair, No. 17 Blind
中场：36号达尔米安、16号卡里克、31号施魏因斯泰格、8号马塔、18号阿什利-扬

Forwards: No. 9 Martial, No. 10 Rooney

"Manchester United is really not polite, and put on a 3-5-2 attacking formation that is inevitable."

Zhang Mai's arrogance towards Manchester United is a bit funny. With the current lineup, he dares to play an all-out attack against the league No. [-] away game, awesome AC!

Manchester United is now second in the league and will not even be able to enter the Champions League by the end of the season. Van Gaal can only give way to Mourinho in despair.

"Isn't Manchester United a strong team! It's normal to play the main away game."

No. 23 Ulloa is now a relieved substitute and can play a huge role after playing, but his mind is still stuck in the relegation thinking of last season.

"Strong team? De Gea, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mata are strong, the rest is hehe, Rooney's state has taken a turn for the worse, Martial is ups and downs, Ashley Young is quite satisfactory, the so-called strong team is just a team. The false fame of a wealthy family."

Zhang Mai is still very familiar with Manchester United. As long as he is a fan, no one will forget the glory of Manchester United in class 92 and later Ronaldo.

"If the two of us don't play, Leicester City will not be afraid of Manchester United. If the two of us play, the defenders of Manchester United will become a display!"

Zhang Mai also patted Ulloa on the shoulder, enthusiastically encouraging the Argentine with a "relegation thinking".

"Dear audience, the 14th round of Premier League leader Leicester City's home game against the league's second-ranked Manchester United is about to start. We see that Zhang Mai is still sitting on the bench. It is estimated that he will be entrusted with important tasks by the team in the second half .”

Zhang Mai failed to score in the last round, which made the calm Huang Tao more cautious in his words.

"After 13 rounds of the league, Leicester City ranked first in the league with 31 points, followed by Manchester United with 29 points. In the previous 13 rounds, Leicester City's only strong opponents were Arsenal and Heat. In addition, they only achieved 1 win and 1 tie in these two games. Zhang Mai, who is on the bench at the moment, contributed to Arsenal's reversal. Therefore, this round of the league will be a test for Leicester City. Whether this first throne is stable or not. The top scorer of Leicester City is Zhang Mai, who is now leading the scorer list with 14 goals. Vardy, the second scorer in the league and the team, is also very brave. After scoring goals, facing the Red Devils Manchester United this round, if Leicester City wants to defend their home court, the performance of Zhang Mai and Vardy is naturally a very critical factor, which deserves everyone's attention."

Zhan Jun supplemented the data on the side, and did not forget to mention Zhang Mai.

At the beginning of the first half, Manchester United took the lead in kick-off, with 5 players lined up in the midfield, No. 9 Martial and No. 10 Rooney went straight into the two ribs of Leicester City's penalty area, and Manchester United launched a aggressive offensive.

Ranieri's formation today is the defensive counterattack formation of Leicester City's natal second team. The defense line shrinks slightly and becomes a 6-back.

The game continued, Leicester City's offensive continued unabated amid the cheers of the audience, and they fought against Manchester United.

In the 28th minute, Leicester City once again scored in Manchester United's penalty area. De Gea made a mistake in making a clearance, but Mahrez failed to stop the ball.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United won a corner kick from the right. Manchester United sent the corner kick into the penalty area. Schweinsteiger shook off the marking Shinji Okazaki and scored with a header to help Manchester United equalize. Leicester City 1 -1 Manchester United.

The Red Devils fans in the audience were overjoyed, while the pure blue fans sighed. Leicester City's No. 20 Shinji Okazaki was injured and fell to the ground in the fight just now.

The referee soon blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the players of the two teams returned to their respective locker rooms with a 1-1 draw.

Shinji Okazaki's injury could no longer last the game. Ranieri arranged for the substitutes to start warming up during the halftime break, and Zhang Mai is about to usher in his second half-time full-time appearance.

"Everyone, although it is halftime, we saw that Zhang Mai did not enter the locker room, but was warming up on the court. In connection with the injury of the Japanese player Shinji Okazaki just now, Zhang Mai is likely to play the entire second half. Please rest for a while and enjoy Zhang Mai's game together!"

Zhan Jun, who was always watching Zhang Mai's movement, seemed to have discovered a new world, and his voice became excited.
