Chapter 150 Understatement
Olic's shot almost broke the net, and the Leicester City fans in the stands screamed in surprise.
Captain Morgan pulled goalkeeper Schmeichel in front of him: "Man, my stick is amazing!"
Schmeichel frowned slightly: "Their passing and shooting are very simple, but very effective and very threatening."
"That's right, he thought he would stop for a while and then deal with it, but he didn't expect to stab him directly."
"Jie Dong Lai, they asked to be more careful."
"Um!"
De Brau's penalty corner kick was headed away by Morgan, and Leicester City's crisis was resolved.
Xia Xing looked at the Wolfsburg players, his mind was clear.
Leicester City had just launched a fierce opening attack, but Wolfsburg did not rush to counterattack, but instead stabilized its defense and slowly looked for opportunities.
It wasn't until Leicester City's wave of attacks that the players' minds relaxed a little, and they took advantage of that period.
That attack only required three or four people to pass the ball and resulted in a goal attack.
And it's very threatening.
The tactical quality of that team is great!
Since acquiring the SS-level star skill "Tactics Master", Xia Xingcuo's insight into the field has improved by leaps and bounds, and his analysis of the situation and Dongbu's predictions have also been qualitatively improved.
In the attack, he still went all out.
In defense, he also paid more attention.
Pay special attention to the No. 14 player on the wrong side, De Bruyne.
From the beginning of the game to now, De Bruyne seems to have no particularly outstanding performance.
The few passes just now were just too much.
Bu Nao Xia Xing knows very well that for a player of that level, a momentary burst can be enough to change the situation of the game.
Even with the defense of Drinkwater and Albrighton, victory is not guaranteed.
As time passed, Leicester City's offense still had the upper hand.
But they couldn't break Wolfsburg's goal.
Wolfsburg also had several good counterattack opportunities, but they were also destroyed by Leicester City.
Especially when De Bruyne dribbled the ball forward and was directly brought down by Albrighton.
Albrighton, who started in place of Cambiaso in that game, was extremely aggressive in defense.
Pearson's private employer also talked to him about the starting position.
After all, Cambiaso is old, and sooner or later Albrighton will lose the starting position.
Now he cherishes every opportunity to play and will do his best.
In the 41st minute of the game, Xia Xing found Vardy with a long pass.
The latter took the ball outside the penalty area and shot directly, and the ball hit the net!
The ball went in!
Just when Leicester City was excited, the referee's whistle sounded!
Offside!
The goal is invalid!
"They were not offside at all!" Chris Wood rushed to the referee to protest!
Vardy also explained to the referee: "When he started just now, he was half a body shorter than the wrong side. He has been observing and there is no offside!"
Could it be that the referee made no attempt to seek advice?
Not only that, he directly gave Chris Wood, who was protesting in front, a yellow card!
That made Leicester City players furious!
Pearson, who was on the sidelines of the court, was also furious: "It was clear that there was no foul just now, why can't we look at VAR?"
The fourth official said expressionlessly: "Please let me control my emotions."
Pearson: "He's so fucking..."
Shakespeare quickly covered his mouth to prevent him from speaking eastward.
"Man, is this the first Europa League match in Leicester City's history? If I get an Eastern penalty, it will go down in history."
"Can they..."
"Don't worry, we have a good chance. Take your time, take your time."
Shakespeare was right, the opportunity is indeed very good.
Bu Nao's words of comfort could not calm the players' emotions.
The game resumed and Leicester City players were obviously affected.
Wolfsburg's pass reached Leicester City's penalty area easily.
If Schmeichel's full save had not been denied, Leicester City would have fallen behind.
Three minutes of injury time at half-time.
In the first minute of stoppage time, Wolfsburg once again played exquisite coordination.
The ball is passed continuously in the midfield.
Gustavo and Malanda passed the ball and the ball was handed to De Bruyne's outside foot.
At this time, Gustavo quickly moved forward and was ready to catch the ball.
De Bruyne also pulled the ball back, obviously intending to pass it to Gustavo.
Drinkwater and Albrighton hesitated for a moment.
The two began to consider the issue of defensive division of labor.
But at that moment, De Bruyne suddenly made a move!
Instead of passing the ball to Gustavo, he made a long pass and went straight outside the penalty area!
At this time, De Bruyne was positioned outside the midfield to the right, and his pass was close to the ground with a huge arc!
Flying through the gap between Drinkwater and Albrighton!
Passed in front of the two defenders De Laet and Konchesky!
Accurately found Dost who penetrated forward!
Dost made a light push from outside the penalty area!
The ball was extremely fast and hit the net!
The ball went in!
1 to 0!
There was really nothing Schmeichel could do that time!
The ball speed is too fast!
The away team fans in the stands cheered wildly!
At this time, the name on their lips was not even Dest, the scorer, but De Bruyne, the passer!
The goal just now was due to the perfect pass!
Extremely exciting!
The Leicester City players were a little frustrated. They looked at the time and realized they had no chance at halftime.
At this time, Xia Xing was also in a daze.
He was not upset, but thinking about De Bruyne's pass just now.
At the moment of receiving the ball, seeing Gustavo advancing, De Bruyne must have been ready to pass the ball to him.
Can you see that Leicester City's two defensive midfielders are a little out of position, and the forwards also have good timing to move?
De Bruyne decisively chose to pass the ball!
That pass was of extremely high quality!
And it’s an understatement!
The game restarted, and there was now about one minute of injury time left.
Most of Leicester City's players felt that the chance of equalizing was slim, but they still went all out.
After Vardy and Chris Wood kicked off the ball, they passed the ball behind them and sprinted quickly.
Especially Chris Wood, who is still worried about the yellow card just now.
And Vardy is not someone who never gives up easily.
The two sprinted quickly and arrived near the penalty area.
At this moment the ball landed at Drinkwater's feet.
He knocked the ball horizontally and then rushed forward quickly.
Now the half is coming to an end, the last opportunity to attack, give it a try!
At this time, Xia Xing received the ball on the left side of the center line.
He had already observed his teammates' movements in advance.
That timing is perfect!
Move the ball forward slightly to find a good angle!
Malanda is grabbing!
But Xia Xing is faster!
He didn't bother and just started!
Pass the ball!
A large 45-degree cross!
That pass seemed even more of an understatement!
Vardy, who was in the front, shot his gun, and Chris Wood, who was in the back, jumped high!
Overwhelm Knoch and hit the goal with a header!
The ball hit the net!
The ball went in!
1 to 1!
Wonderful equalizing goal!
