Chapter 83
At the start of this game, Mourinho let captain Terry start this game for one purpose.
To ensure the team's bottom line.
As long as Terry is on the field, the team's defense will have no problem.
At this time, although Terry's speed can't keep up with Vardy, he desperately squeezed him out!
Vardy forced his shot, but the arch of his foot is difficult to control under that kind of pressure.
The ball slipped out of the goalpost!
Leicester City's attack was destroyed!
Vardy was extremely regretful. He looked back at Xia Xing and clapped his hands to express his gratitude.
Xia Xing also raised his thumbs and praised Vardy's shot.
It's okay, man, let's continue!
Leicester City's attack frequency is not high, but the occasional fast break puts Chelsea under great pressure.
Especially Chelsea's two flanks, there is always the danger of being penetrated by Leicester City.
Just now, Xia Xing's pass after stealing the ball almost caused Vardy to score.
Mourinho on the side of the pitch frowned.
This young man is really amazing.
Not only is his offensive ability excellent, but his defense is also very good.
And his physical fitness is also great, he is fast and has plenty of physical energy.
Such young people can be observed continuously...
As time goes on, Chelsea's offensive momentum on the wing is slightly suppressed.
However, for a team like Chelsea, they do not only have wing channels.
They also have a fierce central attack!
In the 69th minute of the game, Chelsea's left-wing attack started again!
Two consecutive passes were strictly guarded by Leicester City players, and even Hazard could not break through!
At this moment, Hazard suddenly saw a blue figure passing quickly beside him!
He decisively knocked the ball horizontally!
Lampard inserted from the back row!
At this time, the middle of Leicester City was empty!
All the defensive attention was taken away by Hazard!
About 35 meters away from the goal, Lampard received the ball and adjusted it slightly, then shot!
The ball was as fast as thunder, with great force and heavy weight, and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
Schmeichel jumped up with all his strength, but still had no way to do anything...
"The ball went in!
"A wonderful goal!
"Lampard is still strong!
"Such a wonderful long shot, this is his signature move!
"He is still the soul of Chelsea's midfield!
"2 to 1!
"Chelsea is finally ahead!"
Thunderous applause rang out at Stamford Bridge!
Countless fans shouted Lampard's name!
At Stamford Bridge, he is the soul here!
Excited captain Terry rushed up to hug Lampard!
The two Blues captains punched hard and encouraged their teammates!
This opponent is not easy, we have to work harder and keep working!
On the sidelines, Mourinho also smiled and applauded, sending his blessings to his favorite player.
Not bad, he is really good.
And He is Still strong!
Watching the crazy cheers of the opponent's players, the Leicester City players turned their heads to the sidelines of the pitch and looked at Pearson.
We are behind, how do we play?
Press up?
Pearson didn't say anything.
This is the biggest tip.
Don't press up, continue to maintain a steady defense!
Although there is no offensive instruction, the players understand the coach's idea.
Steady defense, and then seize the opportunity to counterattack!
The opponent will not be satisfied with a one-goal advantage!
They expected it right.
Chelsea was not satisfied with the one-goal lead.
He continued to attack and press forward.
Mourinho made substitutions.
Eto'o, Matic and Hazard came off the field, and Torres, Ramires and Willian came on as substitutes.
They were all in the midfield and frontfield positions, and Mourinho's idea was very clear.
Keep attacking, keep scoring goals, and make the victory a reality!
Perhaps it was the experience at Real Madrid that made Mourinho not as conservative as he was at the beginning.
However, there was no need to be conservative in this game against a Championship team.
That would be too embarrassing for the giants.
Several substitutes came on the field, and Chelsea's attack continued to be swift.
Willian's ball control skills were also excellent, stirring up the situation on the left.
Ramires was not as solid as Matic in defense, but his ability to get forward was better.
His shadow could be seen in several frontfield attacks.
And Torres, the former top scorer in the Premier League, his form today...
Still lame.
Since coming to Chelsea, Torres has been dreaming.
Maybe he always dreams of Shevchenko in his dreams?
Anyway, any super center forward who transfers from other giants will not adapt to Chelsea.
It's strange.
Lampard's long pass flew directly to Torres' feet, Torres turned and shot directly, trying to hit the stadium roof.
There was a boo from the away team's stands.
Three minutes later, Torres got the ball on the penalty area line again and shot low!
The ball was soft and weak, and was easily intercepted by the goalkeeper.
There was a laugh from behind the goal.
Torres bowed his head and said nothing.
Now he has even lost the confidence that a striker should have.
The time has come to the 85th minute, and Leicester City is still 1-2 behind.
Pearson has used up his three substitutions. Andy King, Chris Wood and Moore were replaced, and knockaert, Nugent and James came on as substitutes.
The team's formation has also changed to 3-3-1-3.
James returned to the right, and Mahrez moved to the attacking midfielder position, responsible for passing the ball to the three forwards in front.
Of course, Mahrez's biggest threat is his ability to attack.
The shooting accuracy of the three forwards is even worse than his.
Except for Vardy, he is pretty good.
In the 89th minute of the game, Mahrez shot from outside the penalty area!
The ball was punched out by Schwarzer!
Corner kick!
Fxxk!
Mahrez ran to the corner flag area with a curse.
But he was stopped by Xia Xing.
"Riyad, I'm taking the corner kick, you wait outside the penalty area to shoot."
"Hmm?"
"I feel like you have a particularly good foot today."
"Good!"
Xia Xing came to the corner flag area and took a deep breath.
At this time, all the players of Leicester City came up, except James, who was not tall.
Even Schmeichel was in the penalty area ready to compete for a header.
Xia Xing took a deep breath and slowly retreated...
At this time, he already had a target!
The ball went straight to the front of the penalty area!
A feint!
Schmeichel and Morgan in the middle of the penalty area were just feinting to attract the attention of the defense!
And the forwards who were wandering around were not the targets of this attack!
In front of the penalty area, the most inconspicuous player appeared there!
"The game is about to enter injury time. Can Leicester City use this opportunity to equalize the score?
"Xia's cross went straight to the center of the penalty area!
"Is he looking for Schmeichel at the highest point?
"The Leicester City player at the front jumped high!
"A Header shot!
"The ball went in!
"It was too fast, I didn't see who it was...
"It's Konchesky!
"Leicester City's stable central defender!
"He suddenly rushed out from the front point and headed the ball!
"Terry defended at the front point, but was directly knocked out by him!
"He even fell on the goalpost and can't seem to get up!
"But it doesn't matter. What matters is that the goal is valid!
"2 to 2!
"Leicester City equalized the score!
"The ultimate shot before the end of the game!"
