Chapter 237
England this season is very cold, the weather is gloomy, it seems that it is about to rain
, Jiang Ge and Linda are dressed in casual clothes, sitting next to each
other, Linda holding a cup of milk tea in her hand, Jiang Ge is paying attention to the content on her phone.
In the live broadcast room of Huaguo JG Sports, Zhan Jun invited his old partner Zhang Lu tonight.
"Director Zhang, tonight's game, Leicester City suffered a large-scale suspension, what do you think about this?" Zhan Jun asked.
"Uh..." Zhang Lu thought for a while, and replied with a choice of words: "Normal, as a professional team, it should not be too surprising to encounter this situation!"
"What do you say?"
"Leicester City are only a Championship team now, they have not yet been promoted to the Premier League, and they will be promoted to the Premier League in the future, if they can enter the European zone, they may encounter more unexpected situations, which will have to test the team's bench depth!"
"Well, yes, Leicester City have started the season very well, 12 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat, the number of goals has reached 74, and while the team has achieved outstanding results, the lack of bench depth has also begun to be exposed."
"Yes, if Leicester City want to be promoted to the Premier League, or even gain a foothold in the Premier League, the issue of bench depth cannot be avoided!"
"Well, yes, what do you think Leicester have a chance of winning at home against Nottingham Forest today?" Zhan Jun asked.
"Let's open five or five..." replied Zhang Lu after thinking about it.
"Five-five?" Zhan Jun looked at his old partner Zhang Lu in amazement.
Zhang Lu glanced sideways at Zhan Jun and said affirmatively: "Yes, although Leicester City is playing at home today, the probability that they can defeat Nottingham Forest will not exceed 50%!"
"Oh, why did Director Zhang say that? Leicester City have won 7 consecutive games at home, and 9 consecutive league wins, while Nottingham Forest have drawn two and lost one in the last three rounds..."
"Yes, Leicester City have been imposing lately, and they have not lost at home since the start
of the season, but this team has a top-heavy feeling, and
the most important determining factor in their achievement is the attacking power of the front court, because the attack power in the front court is too strong, the pressure on the back defense is not too great
This one is different, the three main attackers of Jiang Ge, Vardy and Ulloa are absent, plus the defensive core Wes Morgan is suspended with a red card
, first of all, the pressure that can be caused to Nottingham Forest up front is limited, and secondly, the defense may not be very solid,
so I think Leicester City may not play well at home tonight!
Zhan Jun nodded, thinking that Director Zhang's analysis had some truth.
Zhang Lu looked at the information on the table and continued:
"Of the 74 goals scored by Leicester City, 41 were scored by Jiang Ge, and he also contributed 15 assists, which means that 56 goals are directly related to him
, tonight, Jiang Ge is absent, Vardy is absent, Ulloa is absent, and the backline Wes Morgan is also absent, this game is really difficult to say..."
The defense at the back was too dependent on Wes Morgan, with two important players absent, and the game was indeed full of uncertainty. Zhan Jun echoed.
On the pitch, the game had already begun, with Leicester City getting the first kick-off with goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr. as captain.
Shinji Okazaki and N'Golo Kante form the core of the midfield
, Mahrez and Sliemani form a tall and fast two-striker, and
the young centre-back Watt, who performed very well in the last round, is in the original position of Wes Morgan, which is also his first home experience.
Shinji Okazaki passed the ball back to Kante behind him, and the two players scattered
, Kante did not rush forward to send
the ball, passed back to the central defender Watt behind him, facing the opponent's pressing forward Antonio, Watt kicked the ball to right-back Benaluan.
Nottingham Forest counter-attacked, and the speedy striker Arsonbaronga immediately approached Benaluen
, teammate Fuchs loudly reminded Benaluan to open his big foot, who kicked forward and the ball flew off the touchline.
In the opening minute, Nottingham Forest's pressing was fierce, forcing Leicester City's defender to make a mistake.
Nottingham Forest won a touchline ball, most of the players pressed to Leicester City half
, full-back Foyat threw a strong sideline ball, the ball fell like a cannonball into the Leicester City's big penalty area
, this sideline ball tactic was obviously carefully designed before, the forward Lancebury grabbed the point in the crowd, jumped high and flicked his head to attack
, the ball flew off the baseline against the goal beam, and the Kingpower Stadium let out an exclamation.
At the moment when Lancebury snatched the point, central defender Watt was obviously out of position, and if it weren't for the opponent's shooting skills, putting the ball within the goal frame, Schmeichel Jr. would have been very difficult!
Wes Morgan in the stands could see clearly, he understood that the ball was a mistake by Watt, and he jumped up from the stool in anger.
Jiang Ge looked at the excited old captain beside him, patted the latter's shoulder, and smiled indifferently.
Schmeichel Jr. sent a goal ball and handed it to the feet of Kante, who dribbled the ball past Osborne in midfield, faced Collins' blocking, handed the
ball to the feet of Shinji Okazaki, Mahrez and Sliemani actively ran
in front, Shinji Okazaki adjusted a kick, seemed to want to pass the ball, Nottingham Forest back Collins immediately pasted to defend, the proud Shinji Okazaki
did not put the elderly back Corinth in front of him at all, Want to show off his spoon passing stunt in front of the
latter, since seeing Jiang Ge score a wonderful goal with a spoon pass, Shinji Okazaki has been silently practicing this passing move
, Shinji Okazaki has a very solid basic skill, thinking that his mastery of this technical action has reached the point where it can be used in actual combat, Shinji Okazaki
took the ball to Collins two steps forward, the latter slowly retreated, blocked the line, and sought teammates to come up to assist in defense
Shinji Okazaki suddenly pulled the ball from the inside instep to change direction, broke through from the right side of Collins
, and after flashing a gap, Shinji Okazaki shoved the ball at Mahrez's feet
, he was a complete success with this spoon, Collins may not have expected the other party to play like this.
Mahrez calmly catches the ball with his right toe, picks up the ball to a certain height, and then picks up a pass
from the outside of his right foot, passing the ball to the top of the head of high school forward Sliemani, Sliemani jumps high and shakes his head to attack, Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Dallo is very focused, instinctively slaps his hands and shoots the football close at hand
, the ball flies out of front of the goal, falls to the edge of the big penalty area line, and just lands at the feet of Shinji Okazaki
Facing the imposing two defenders, Shinji Okazaki had to take
the ball with his back, everyone thought that he would pass the ball back to Andy King who came up to receive
it, but he picked up the ball with his back, the footwork of this pick ball is very exquisite, the ball rises almost vertically, it seems to hit the plane
, and then Shinji Okazaki made a shocking upside-down golden hook, the
outside of the right foot accurately hooked to the ball, the football speed is extremely fast, flying towards the goal, The goalkeeper's view is obscured by his teammates and he reacts when the ball flies into the goal.
The ball went in!
“Gooooooooooal！ Shinji Okazaki goal! Shinji Okazaki goal! Shinji Okazaki..."Jiang
Ge in the stands jumped up directly from his seat, this shooting action, this shooting action is not the roundabout upside down golden hook of the big empty wing in the football youngster!
