Leicester City stumbled out of the Europa League group, expecting a more brutal battle in the knockout rounds.
I didn't expect to win so easily.
Well, is it a good sign?
In the quarter-final draw a few days later, Leicester City got another good draw.
That time they will face Zenit.
Although Wongli is not weak, he is still one of the top clubs in the five major leagues. Leicester City has the confidence to compete with Wanli.
What is before us now is a very demanding game.
League Cup final!
The away game ended on February 27, and the Leicester City team took the time to rest.
Fortunately, most of the main players are resting, so the impact of the fatigue of the trip is not big.
Pearson is most concerned about Xia Xing, Morgan and Schmeichel. After all, they have just played in the Europa League.
All is well.
Morgan and Schmeichel did not have much pressure in a game. After all, Young Boys of Bern no longer had the energy to attack in the east half, so Leicester City's defense was relatively relaxed.
Xia Xing was also replaced in the east game after helping the team lead 2-1.
I'm in good health now.
So Leicester City is bound to win that EFL Cup final!
Looking forward to reaching the top in one fell swoop!
It's just a mistake because I went on a summer trip. I have gained a lot recently.
It has been 10 days since I got the S-level Ziggs card, and the accumulation of five hours a day has been completed!
[The time accumulation of S-level Ziggs is completed and the host absorbs it directly. Shouldn’t it be put into the "card pool"? 】
Absorb directly!
Xia Xing has now discovered a pattern. Players with that kind of characteristics have a very high probability of developing star skills!
Five minutes later, it was exactly as he expected.
[The host (Xia Xing)’s current physical attribute data is like Dong (single full score is 100 points):]
A new star skill has been added - S-level "Yi Qi Jue Chen"!
For Xia Xing, who was wrong about Xihuai Te's breakthrough from the left, that skill was quite powerful!
It's great to get new skills before the EFL Cup final!
March 2, evening, Wembley Stadium, London.
Leicester City went out with all their main players to face their local London team Tottenham Hotspur.
In that game, Tottenham played a 4-2-3-1 that they are good at.
The goalkeeper will be Frenchman Lloris.
The back four consists of Ben Davies, Vertonghen, Fassio and Dier.
Double defensive midfielder Paulinho and Ryan Mason.
Three attacking midfielders: Dembélé, Eriksen and Lamela.
Center Harry Kane.
The bench is filled with powerful players such as Shazli, Soldado, Kirikesh, Bentaleb, Danny Rose, and Adebayor.
But judging from the thickness of the lineup, Tottenham far surpasses Leicester City.
Especially the strength of the midfielders and the excellent lineup.
Eriksen is excellent in passing and controlling, but he is not Tottenham's midfield playmaker.
Lamela has excellent personal skills and his dribbling skills are top-notch in the Premier League.
Paulinho can defend, attack, and has a good way of shooting forward.
Dembele can also dribble with high legs, and his offensive ability is very strong.
Especially if the front line is very similar to England's top striker like Harry Kane.
After Rooney slowly faded out of the England national team, Harry Kane has become a new hope for England's forward line.
Standing in the middle of the pitch, Vardy gritted his teeth.
Mahrez patted him on the shoulder: "What's wrong with me?"
"He gets angry just thinking about being in a game!" Vardy kicked the turf hard.
In one game, he was tackled by Lamela and was unfortunately injured.
Xia Xing nodded: "No, they had a lot of chances in that game. If I had been there, it would have been 0-0."
Vardy: "Gotta beat them in that game!"
Mahrez: "Got to kill them!"
Xia Xing didn't shut up, but he still punched hard.
The referee's whistle sounds and the game begins!
Leicester City still used the familiar 4-4-2 formation, and they started conservatively and stabilized their position.
Tottenham did not rush forward in this game. They controlled the ball in the midfield when they had the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to advance and observe Leicester City.
Both sides had no offensive performance in the first ten minutes, not even a shot on goal.
Starting from the 11th minute, Tottenham suddenly exerted force!
They seemed to have seen through Leicester City's defense and were confident.
The ball went to the foot of midfielder Paulinho, and the Brazilian midfielder suddenly dribbled the ball forward!
Although he was in the defensive midfielder position in that game, his frequent forward penetration and running made his position very flexible.
Veteran Cambiasso’s speed didn’t keep up!
Paulinho crosses the ball to Dembele!
Dembele pulled the ball to avoid Mahrez's press!
Another diagonal pass to the middle!
Paulinho responds to the ball and goes away!
But he didn't touch the ball!
But he bypassed the ball and went straight into the penalty area!
Eriksen behind him caught the ball!
A deft pass from him!
Paulinho volleyed from outside the penalty area!
The ball missed the crossbar and flew into the stands!
Just a little bit closer!
The Leicester City fans in the stands screamed in surprise.
I didn’t expect Tottenham’s first shot tomorrow to be so threatening!
And Paulinho's forward pass was so exciting!
Carragher in the live broadcast room couldn't stop praising him.
"That Tottenham team is really full of geniuses. In addition to the strong connection between Kane and Eriksen, Paulinho's comprehensive skills are also a major reliance of Tottenham. It's very Lamela, that game
He didn’t show any extraordinary skills during the game.”
Before he finished speaking, Lamela's performance began.
The ball reached Lamela's feet and he suddenly started!
The nimble movement directly passed Vardy who was actively grabbing!
Vardy was injured by Lamela in a game. He didn't like the Argentine kid!
But because of his impatience, Vardy failed to make a successful tackle and instead occupied Drinkwater's position.
Lamela saw the space in front of him and sprinted decisively with the ball!
Could it be that he just took two steps and was knocked down from the side?
No summer trip!
He quickly sprinted to cover his position and made a decisive tackle!
Did that tackle touch the ball first? It was not a foul!
Just before the ball went out of bounds, Xia Xing hooked it with his foot and pushed it forward quickly!
The ball hit Vardy accurately!
At this time, because of Lamela's forward penetration, the Tottenham team has started to speed up!
The defense is empty!
Vardy is delighted to catch the ball!
Without hesitation, sprint with the ball!
Ben Davis is grabbing it!
But Vardy passed him by accelerating!
Fazio blocked Vardy's forward angle!
Vardy deftly moved horizontally and got out of the angle!
Kicking and volleying!
The ball is inserted into the dead corner!
1 to 0!
Leicester City opened the scoring and broke the deadlock!
