Chapter 210 A Thousand Miles of Collapse
Leicester City scores first!
The Blue Fox fans in the stands were instantly excited, cheering and encouraging!
In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer's voice came again!
"Xia's wonderful tackle and forced assist!
"Vardy's dexterity and decisive shooting!
"With just two people, they defeated Tottenham!
"1 to 0!
"Leicester City scored first!
"They are so efficient!
"I wonder if that was their first shot of the game!
"Just scored!
"Some people say Lamela has excellent dribbling skills?
"Then he didn't meet me!
"Facing Xia's strict defense, Lamela has nothing to do!
"If he had just chosen to pass the ball, maybe the team would not have conceded the ball!
"I can't help but love him. It's so exciting to see Xia switch from defense to offense!"
"Leicester City scored first in that game, and Tottenham were in trouble!"
Alan Shearer is right, Tottenham are in trouble.
Even after that long explanation, Carragher was not very talkative.
He also saw the problem.
From the beginning to now, it has been an evenly matched contest, with neither side having many clear chances.
Tottenham even almost scored a goal just now relying on Paulinho's forward penetration.
But unexpectedly, they wanted to pursue the victory, but they were scored by the wrong team.
Is it really that bad?
The game resumed and Leicester City still defended solidly.
Now that they have the ball in their legs, they are no longer in a hurry.
Tottenham attacked more fiercely, but still to no avail.
Especially in front of the midfield defense led by Xia Xing, it is difficult for them to gain anything.
When Leicester City was playing defensive counterattack tactics that season, could Xia Xing really be used as two people?
The defense covers a large area, and the offense suddenly tries to kill the wrong side and is caught off guard.
When Xia Xing cut off Eriksen's possession of the ball again, Shakespeare on the sidelines couldn't help but admire: "If we can give Xia a better defensive midfielder and let him completely open up to attack, their strength will definitely improve."
It’s on the first floor.”
Pearson nodded: "If the team can have an organizational midfielder as good as xia, and let xia defend completely, we can go one step further."
Shakespeare: "Is it easy to buy an excellent defensive midfielder, or easy to find an excellent attacking midfielder?"
Pearson: "It's hard to buy and it's hard to dig. But it would be nice to have a xia."
Shakespeare: "Well, that's not true. After all, they are a small team. They are not a club of the level of the Manchester City duo or the Gunners and the Red Army. They are not even comparable to Tottenham. If they could have Eriksen
, or Paulinho, it would definitely be good to partner with Xia. It would be best if we have a good defensive midfielder."
Pearson: "Like Makelele?"
Shakespeare: "Wrong, wrong, wrong!"
Pearson: "Dream on me."
Shakespeare: "That's all he said..."
The two chatted on the sidelines while the game continued.
The reason why they are in a more relaxed mood is because the stadium in Leicester City is in good condition.
Facing Tottenham's attack, they defended with all their strength and did not give the opponent any chance.
The powerful central axis connection has lost its power.
Eriksen and Kane have never cooperated particularly well.
Although veteran Cambiasso is not as fast as before, his prediction and positioning are still world-class.
With him on the field, Tottenham's midfield organization found it difficult to open up the situation.
Until the 43rd minute of the half.
Relying on Paulinho's breakthrough, Tottenham did not create a cross opportunity, but they did get a corner kick.
Eriksen was in the corner flag area, looking in the direction of the penalty area.
Several headers and high legs were waiting for opportunities near the penalty area.
All members of Leicester City were nervous. Except for Vardy who remained in the frontcourt waiting for a counterattack, all other players returned.
Eriksen sent out a curve ball!
Go straight to the middle of the penalty area!
Find Harry Kane!
Even though the Leicester City players guessed that point, they still couldn't stop Kane!
The England striker leaped high and headed the ball into the goal!
The ball hit the right corner of the goal!
1 to 1!
Tottenham equalized the score!
Excitedly Tottenham players hugged and celebrated!
The tens of thousands of red-clad fans in the stands also cheered and encouraged!
After attacking the whole game, I finally scored!
It’s not easy!
The Leicester City players were a little depressed.
After guarding the entire game, he actually conceded the ball.
that's too regretful……
The game resumed and has entered injury time.
Two minutes.
Vardy and Mahrez cooperate with each other, Mahrez sprints with the ball!
Shake away two players in a row and volley from outside the penalty area!
The ball was punched out by Lori with both fists.
Pearson on the sidelines shook his head repeatedly.
Mahrez was too alone just now.
If the ball is passed to Ulloa, Xia Xing, and Drinkwater are also here, the team can play more offensive coordination.
Shakespeare also frowned: "If Mahrez doesn't improve his overall view, then he will only be a sharp-edged winger when he retires. That's the end."
Pearson let out a breath: "He has talent and skills. If he can grow up quickly, he will definitely develop very well and even become a top star in the Premier League."
Shakespeare: "He should really learn from xia, xia is simply a genius born for football."
At this time, the game resumed, and fans estimated that it would end with a score of 1-1 at halftime.
Eriksen dribbled the ball in the midfield and beat Paulinho across the pitch.
Paulinho passed the ball back again.
At this time Harry Kane suddenly accelerated!
Paulinho also started to advance from the other side!
Lamela is also ready to go!
Cambiaso locked the angle in the middle and did not give Eriksen a chance to pass the ball!
Xia Xing, Drinkwater and others also defended several Tottenham forward players!
Eriksen seems to have no suitable passing route.
He reacted quickly and took a shot instead of passing the ball!
About 35 meters away from the goal, Eriksen shot a curved ball!
The ball passed over the head of the defensive player in front of him and went straight to the right corner of the goal!
Schmeichel took off early and his body was in the air!
Could it be that the ball made a huge arc and bypassed Schmeichel's fingers...
"The ball went in!
"The ball went in!
"Tottenham scored a wonderful goal!
“The ball made an amazing arc!
“Straight into the dead center of the goal!
“Schmeichel, who has performed extremely well this season, can’t do anything!
“No Eriksson!
"No his amazing shot!
"A world-class performance from a Danish star!
“He was suppressed by Leicester City’s defense throughout half the game!
"The pass was cut off and there was no chance for the shot.
"Especially after 0-1, his presence seemed to be transparent.
"I don't see the value of the core of the organization at all.
"At this moment, he suddenly broke out!
“Five minutes later, one pass and one shot helped the team lead the score 2-1!
"Tottenham have regained the initiative in the League Cup!
"It only took five minutes, and Leicester City was defeated by them!
"A collapse of thousands of miles!"
