Chapter 234 Long-range critical strike
In the half, Napoli's last shot was blocked by Xia Xing, and the referee's whistle sounded.
With a score of 1-0, Leicester City returned to the dressing room in a good mood.
Pearson continued to encourage players.
And I beg you all to continue to defend.
"Guys, they were able to get there that season,
"Stable defense is the most important point!
“They are now leading by one goal and have more capital to defend in the east half!
"And they will have more holes!
"Good defense!"
"Effective counterattack!
"Win the East Game!"
The east half changed sides and the battle resumed, but Leicester City still held on.
As soon as the match started, they ran into trouble.
Hamsik began to cruise on the left, trying to avoid Xia Xing as much as possible.
And his impact indeed brought great defensive pressure to Leicester City's right wing.
In the 49th minute of the game, he broke through the defense and passed a superb attack to Callejon at the far end of the penalty area.
If Delaete's astute return to defense had not been denied, something might have gone wrong.
In the 56th minute of the game, Hamsik once again broke through along the left wing.
That time he just started dribbling, and Leicester City's defense surrounded him!
But Hamsik did not continue to break through!
He chose to knock back!
The ball was passed to the back right!
Wakazuki Neo catches the ball steadily!
In the midfield position, the Italian midfielder passed without hesitation!
The ball went straight to the top of the penalty area!
Higuain has already dropped back to catch the ball!
Higuain was in excellent scoring form that season. As a forward, his skills were very comprehensive.
Can pass, shoot and break through.
Especially the small skills in the frontcourt are very subtle.
After all, can he be the man who put Benzema on the bench during Real Madrid?
After receiving the pass from Hamsik, Higuain turned his back to take the ball.
Leicester City captain Morgan stared at him closely, behind him, not giving him a chance to turn around.
In the first half of the game, Morgan mistook Higuain's marking quite successfully.
Higuain hasn't had many chances so far in the eastern half.
But at this moment, he suddenly exerted his strength!
He picked up the ball with his back and suddenly knocked it horizontally!
Turn around and sprint towards the penalty area!
Morgan was shocked!
Because if he fights for speed, he can't deny Higuain's wrong leg!
The captain of the Blue Fox sprinted hard, accelerating towards the goal while blocking Higuain's sprint route!
But he didn't expect that Higuain didn't come with him!
After he knocked Insigne horizontally, he took a quick step forward, and then the horse retreated back!
Insigne also passed the ball back very tacitly!
I thought it was a one-two punch, but it turned out to be an ordinary passback!
And that fake move deceived Morgan!
At the top of the penalty area, Higuain didn't waste a second!
If you hesitate, Morgan will come back to defend!
Facing the wrong goal, he volleyed!
The ball bypassed Morgan in front of him and hit the blind spot!
Schmeichel stretched out his legs to block!
He didn't even have time to jump!
But it’s not a step too late!
He was also confused by the fake action!
The ball hits the net!
The ball went in!
1 to 1!
Napoli equalized the score!
The Italian fans in the stands cheered excitedly in celebration!
Isn’t it easy?
Countless fans are calling Higuain’s name!
The Argentinian striker scored a goal, and now his total number of goals has reached 8!
Already on par with Salzburg Red Bull striker Alan!
But Alan's team has been eliminated, and Higuain has a good chance of winning the Europa League Golden Boot!
Leicester City Hobori scored a goal, and their rhythm was somewhat disrupted.
Especially on the right wing, there was a problem with Hamsik's defense just now, which led to the start of the attack.
And Morgan is also trying to adjust his mentality. After all, he is inseparably responsible for the goal he just conceded.
As one of Europe's top teams, how can it give Leicester City time to adjust?
The score was equalized in the 56th minute of the game. Four minutes later, Naples attacked again!
That time, Hamsik dribbled the ball and suddenly made a forward move from the left!
Emergency stop!
Mahrez was dodged!
Wakazuki Nyo quickly moved forward, preparing to respond again!
Are they asking for a repeat of what happened just now?
Drinkwater rushes to approach Wakatsuki!
But unexpectedly, Hamsik suddenly accelerated his outside play!
He didn't choose to pass the ball or go to the wing, but sprinted along the middle!
At this time, Xia Xing is quickly approaching to fill the position!
But Hamsik didn't wait until he was in place and started directly!
About 30 meters away from the goal, a long shot with a critical hit!
Schmeichel flew into the air and touched the ball with his fingertips, but the ball hit the net!
The shot is too powerful!
The ball went in!
2 to 1!
Naples overtook the score!
In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer shook his head repeatedly.
"Oh, it's so noisy!
"Leicester City's great situation was suddenly reversed.
"Hamsik deserves to be the captain of Napoli.
"Is the technology really comprehensive?
"That shot was unanswerable.
"Leicester City are falling behind, will they continue to defend well?"
That question does not require an answer.
Even the players on the court didn't look at Pearson.
The score is behind, what are you waiting for?
Now go attack!
Leicester City had been holding back their anger and finally let it out!
Especially the offensive players, led by Mahrez and Vardy, have long been unable to bear it.
Pearson asked for all-out defense, and no one had anything to say.
But that kind of offensive and defensive mentality is really frustrating.
Especially Pearson's tactical arrangements always make everyone feel that they are a weak team.
Of course, in terms of overall strength, it is indeed not as good as the wrong leg.
But just saying that I can't get out is too uncomfortable.
Especially a proud player like Mahrez, he doesn’t like that method very much!
In the few previous defenses, he was hit by the wrong leg.
This made him very embarrassed and extremely angry.
If I am an offensive player, I am definitely not good at defense.
He doesn't deny that kind of all-around genius.
After the restart, Mahrez started performing on the right!
He caught Pearson's defensive error and frequently pushed forward on the right!
Dribbling, passing, shooting!
Vardy and Ulloa in the frontcourt also kept moving to cover Mahrez!
Just now Naples was attacking very hard and just took the lead, but the situation changed in an instant!
Mahrez's fierce attack made their wing defense very difficult!
Sprint with the ball and shoot into the far corner of the goal!
Andujar punches out with both fists!
The ball lands at Albiol's feet!
Fight hard to save!
But the strength is slightly lighter!
The ball bounces not far away...
A figure rushed to the horse!
"No!
"He went in the direction of the ball!
"So fast!
“The defensive players around me couldn’t catch up at all!
"Can he shoot, can he pass...
"He actually took a shot directly!
"The ball hit the net!
"Long range critical strike!
“The ball went in!!!
“It was 38 meters away from the goal, and Xiao’s shot was like a cannonball!
“Blowed up the Polish night sky!
"2 to 2!
"Leicester City fought back to equalize!"
