Chapter 188 Fight before qualifying
For Wolfsburg, there was no way out in that game.
In another game, the powerful Red Bull Salzburg was almost impossible to lose.
So if Wolfsburg can tie tomorrow, then they will most likely get the second place in the group.
Could it be that they are not conservative?
When it comes to football matches, "a draw results in a loss" happens from time to time.
So even though the game was very stable, Wolfsburg still attacked with all its strength.
As soon as the game started, they continuously used wing attacks to attack Leicester City's defense.
Malanda sprints with the ball from the left!
Hitting De Bruyne across the middle!
De Bruyne passes to Caligiuri!
Caligiuri took the ball with his back towards the outside of the penalty area, and suddenly half-turned and passed back!
Malanda, who had been sprinting and accelerating just now, caught the ball at the edge of the penalty area!
Use your speed to get past Simpson and score a goal!
Small angle, low shot, close angle!
Schmeichel blocked the ball with his feet!
That wave of fast attacks is very threatening!
Shakespeare on the sidelines was so frightened that he broke into a sweat.
It was only the first five minutes. If the ball was lost, the game would not be easy to play.
For Leicester City, which aims to win, there cannot be any mistakes in that game.
After destroying Wolfsburg's left attack, their right attack came again.
That time, De Bruyne dribbled the ball forward and knocked it across to the sprinting full-back Sebastian Jung.
Sebastian Yong sprints fast!
Xia Xing stood in front of him, not giving him any chance to move forward!
If not, the man will stay in the east, if not, the ball will stay in the east!
In the past, Sebastian Yong could have knocked it out again and handed it over to De Bruyne!
De Bruyne keeps hitting the ball from outside!
The ball accurately found center Olic!
Outside the penalty area, Olic kicked and shot!
The ball hit the outside of the goal post hard and bounced off the baseline!
The home team fans in the stands let out a sigh.
The fans of the visiting team were in shock.
Shakespeare even covered his chest.
That would be so exciting...
Leicester City defended solidly in the opening game, which was not Pearson's strategy.
Although the defense is not that solid, it can still be considered as a defense.
Moving east, taking advantage of the lull in Wolfsburg's attack, Leicester City began their counterattack.
Similarly, Leicester City's attack can also be launched from the wing.
In the 14th minute of the game, Xia Xing intercepted the ball in the middle and cut off Gustavo's diagonal pass.
Diagonal pass to the right!
Find Mahrez!
The moment Mahrez received the ball, it was as if he was starting to take off the rabbit!
Malanda was trying to grab him, but Mahrez made a fake move diagonally to the left and knocked him down!
Speed up and sprint down the side road!
Directly passed Wolfsburg's half!
Ricardo Rodriguez is in the running!
Mahrez made a fake move again, but this time he failed to get past the talented defender.
Pull decisively!
Get out of the way and shoot into the far corner!
The ball hit the lintel!
The bottom line popped up!
Leicester City missed a great opportunity!
Although there was no goal, Leicester City's attack made Wolfsburg's offense too defensive and did not dare to press too hard.
Soon, Leicester City got what they wanted.
In the 25th minute of the game, Leicester City intercepted the ball in the middle.
During Fuxing's press, Dost forced a diagonal pass, but Drinkwater fell to the ground and tackled him!
Xia Xing left and rushed over to fight for the second point!
He got ahead of De Bruyne and passed the ball with one kick!
Although the pass was a little hasty, it was still quite accurate!
He was always observing the position of his teammates, and the pass went straight to the left!
Passed the ball sideways and found Vardy accurately!
In fact, it does not entirely deny Xia Xing's accurate passing, nor does it deny Vardy's accurate prediction.
When Xia Xing rushed towards the ball, Vardy had already begun to speed up!
He was very sure that the ball would find him accurately!
That's the tacit understanding and trust between the two!
Sure enough, the ball flew accurately!
In the Wolfsburg half, Vardy received the ball and sprinted quickly!
Gustavo was directly thrown away by his speed!
Naldo is robbing fiercely!
Vardy's light tilt dial!
Dodge Naldo!
Vardy's speed is world-class!
At the line of the penalty area, he decisively volleyed!
The ball went straight into the right east corner of the goal!
Benaglio is powerless!
The ball went in!
1 to 0!
Leicester City breaks the deadlock!
The score is ahead!
They saw hope of qualifying!
Thousands of visiting team fans cheered excitedly in the stands, enjoying the joy of scoring a goal!
Shakespeare on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief.
Goal first, be more pragmatic.
Wolfsburg is not a red city either.
After losing the ball, Wolfsburg, who came from the east, attacked like crazy.
With the help of their home court, they launched waves of attacks amid the cheers of tens of thousands of fans.
The three forwards all performed extremely well tomorrow.
Although their strength is not world-class, they are still experienced warriors in the Bundesliga.
Wolfsburg's overall tactics are also very good.
Continuous attacks put great pressure on Leicester City's defense.
Captain Morgan moved to the defense, and vice-captain Schmeichel made a high pass and blocked the ball low, trying to keep the goal.
Xia Xing also swept the defense in a large area, not giving the wrong side a chance to cut in from the middle.
After successive solid defensive breakdowns, Leicester City finally overcame it in the half.
The referee's whistle sounded and the game was finally over at halftime.
In the east half, the game changed sides and Wolfsburg changed two positions in a row.
The formation also changed from 4-3-3 to 3-4-3.
It can be seen that they are looking for a fierce attack.
Because if they keep that score at the end, then they will be eliminated.
Then they are definitely not willing to accept it.
Leicester City also made substitution adjustments.
The young Albrighton was replaced by Don Cambiaso, forming a more physically capable midfield line.
And Albrighton wandered around on the left and center after being on the court, which also made Xia Xing's position more flexible.
As time goes by, Leicester City has withstood Wolfsburg's onslaught many times.
Mahrez and Vardy's counterattacks were also very threatening, and goalkeeper Benaglio made no mistakes again.
After Benaglio punched out Mahrez's shot for the third time, Wolfsburg's fast break started again.
In three or two kicks, the ball was passed to the right.
Albrighton, who came on as a substitute, was actively fighting for it!
De Bruyne dunked lightly, but Albrighton missed it!
The Belgian genius glanced at the penalty area, and Drinkwater quickly rushed over!
There is Xia Xingming in Bu Nao. What does Deborah want to do?
"Return to defense!"
At that moment, the speed of sound seemed not as fast as De Bruyne's ball speed.
On the right wing, a decisive long diagonal pass went straight to the back of Leicester City's penalty area!
Several defensive players were attracted by De Bruyne's feint and did not notice Caligiuri in the back!
Sprint quickly and shoot in the air!
The ball hits the net!
The ball went in!
1 to 1!
Wolfsburg scored a crucial goal!
They once again gained the initiative to qualify!
