Chapter 144 Strategic Abandonment
If the team leads by three goals, then it is considered stable.
In fact, I already had some ideas during my summer trip.
A striker should have been added long ago.
The strength of the two central defenders facing each other is much higher than that of the other teammates. If there is one more forward, they will be overwhelmed.
And for a team of that caliber, 4-4-2 is too conservative.
Pierson does not deny the mentality of a weak team.
After all, after many years of experience in the English Championship, it is hard to change a habit.
He had adjusted his formation before the game, and it had achieved results.
Xia Xing finally felt at ease.
You can refresh the data.
In fact, I have already accumulated a personal assist and a long pass assist from 30 meters away.
gain something.
In the 71st and 78th minutes of the game, Leicester City had two shots from outside the penalty area, and Xia Xing took the initiative to take the penalty.
The first shot of the ball was powerful and precise, but the speed was quite poor and was caught by the goalkeeper.
The second kick pursued speed and precision, but the strength was not up to it, and the goalkeeper punched it out with both hands.
And both of those shots had no arc.
It seems that the set-piece data in 69 minutes is worth looking at...
In the 83rd and 87th minutes of the game, Xia Xing assisted with two long passes, and the score became 5-0.
The distance between Bu Nao's two assists was less than 30 meters. It's a pity that we can't continue to refresh.
Bu Nao is okay, after all, there is a good chance in the future.
The referee's whistle sounds and the game ends.
In the first game of the League Cup this season, Leicester City won easily.
Not only did they win the ball, but the main players also got a rest.
Leicester City did not strategically abandon a certain battlefield this season.
Let's go and see.
Four days later, on August 31, the King Power Stadium once again welcomed the wrong leg of the Premier League.
In the third round of the league, Leicester City faced the challenge of the giant Arsenal at home.
In the first three rounds of that season, the team was ranked among the top five teams in the season.
Leicester City is under a lot of pressure.
They have already won against Chelsea and Everton, and now the confidence outside the team has greatly increased.
And in the FA Cup this season, they once defeated Arsenal.
Facing the defeat of the Eastern Conference, the Leicester City soldiers cannot expect to win again.
That's right, if you win again.
Not even a draw is possible.
They just want to win!
Compared to Leicester City, Arsenal are even more looking forward to that game.
Arsenal, who aimed to win the championship that season, also won two consecutive victories in the opening game.
Wenger has not touched the Premier League title for many years, and they are bound to win that season!
Arsenal deployed a 4-1-4-1 formation in that game.
Goalkeeper Szczesny,
Four defenders: Monreal, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Debich,
Single defensive midfielder Flamini,
Midfield four: Ozil, Ramsey, Cazorla, Sanchez,
Lone striker Sanogo.
Arsenal went into onslaught mode in that game.
From the first minute of the game, Arsenal were playing against Leicester City.
Leicester City even had a shot in the first 20 minutes.
The frequent short passing coordination made the fans excited and enjoyed watching it.
"Flamini is holding the ball in the backcourt and Ulloa is grabbing it!
"Flamini hits the left wing!
"Monreal receives the ball and pushes forward!
"Ozil hits the center!
"Ramsey hits hard again!
"Cazorla passes forward diagonally!
"Sanchez penetrates the penalty area!
"Knocking back at the bottom line!
"Inverted triangle pass!
"Ramsey is volleying!
"The ball slipped out of the goal!
"It's just a little bit off!"
Arsenal's exquisite passing coordination made countless fans cheer in the stands.
"Arsenal attacked from the right that time!
"Debich dribbled the ball through midfield!
"Hit it to Flamini!
“Push forward quickly!
"Flamini made a decisive diagonal pass!
“Excellent one-two!
"Debich caught the ball and continued to hit it horizontally!
"Ramsey takes the ball!
"Sanchez sprints down the right!
"But Ramsey didn't pass the ball to him!
"Short pass to the left!
"Ozil followed up with a kick!
"The ball hit the side netting!
"That collaboration was so beautiful!"
Similar consecutive short passes abounded, and the fans of the visiting team at the King Power Stadium were extremely optimistic about the victory of the game.
For Leicester City fans, they are also very confident in their team.
After all, can they have won two consecutive Premier League games?
And Leicester City will still maintain a solid defensive posture tomorrow. Although Arsenal's offensive is fierce, several short passes failed.
After some mismatches during the season, Pearson now has some experience facing Arsenal.
Using fierce tackles to mismatch those skilled players is a surefire way to make mistakes.
Although it seems a bit unviable, it is not the most effective for a small team like Leicester City.
"Ozil's pass found the advancing Sanogo!
"Sanogo's powerful shot from outside the penalty area!
"Captain Morgan scooped the ball out!
"Leicester City escaped disaster!"
Morgan personally defended Sanogo and he blocked the wrong shot perfectly.
"That attack came from the right!
"Sanchez drives forward quickly with the ball!
"He shook Mahrez away from him!
“Outside again!
"Bypassed De Laet!
"Konchesky rushed out of the penalty area and made a tackle!
"Sanchez quickly took a shot from outside the penalty area!
"The ball hit the dead center!
"Schmeichel stood up and punched out!
“Leicester City kept a clean sheet again!”
Several consecutive fierce defenses did not cause any harm to the Arsenal players, but they left a considerable psychological shadow on their teammates.
Apart from that game, there was one very important thing.
The national team competition month is about to begin.
Many players will report to the national team after that game.
And he is eager to compete for the main position of the national team.
At that time, you can never make a mistake and get hurt.
So many stars were quite conservative in that round.
For example, several Arsenal stars.
Ozil and Sanchez all failed to perform at their top level.
Ramsey had just returned from injury and tried not to engage in physical confrontation with Leicester City players.
In this way, Leicester City will have the advantage of momentum.
At the end of the half, the two sides were still 0-0.
In the east half, the game changed sides and Leicester City actually scored right after the opening game!
The goal scorer surprised even themselves!
"Xia intercepted Arsenal's short pass in the midfield!
“The prediction of that interception was very accurate!
"Xia made a long pass and went straight to the penalty area!
“Vardy’s shot was saved by Szczesny!
"No corner kick!
"No, Xia took the penalty, and the free throw went straight to the strong Ulloa!
"Ulloa hit the ball!
“The ball goes to the far end!
"Hit the goalpost!
"Arsenal escaped...
"etc!
"The ball bounced back and hit the Arsenal player.
"Bounced into the net!
"1 to 0!
"Leicester City are ahead!
"Let them see if any unlucky guy scores an own goal?
"oh!
"Mr. No 50 million - Ozil!
"Isn't he so unlucky?"
