Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 1068 Christmas Champion ([-])

This game is indeed very unpredictable, but Liverpool, which is at home, is still highly regarded by major bookmakers. The odds of the home win are much lower than the odds of the away win. Chester City is now the leader of the Premier League, but whether they played against Chelsea or Liverpool now, they are still treated as dark horses, and bookmakers are generally not very optimistic about them.

In fact, Leicester City's away record is very good. They have played 9 away games. Leicester City won 6 games, drew 3 games, and did not lose a goal. The game they lost Still lost at home, not away.

In the locker room of the home team, the Liverpool players are silently sorting out their playing equipment. No one speaks. What should be said may be in the internal meeting. Klopp has already said it in the tactical class. Klopp is not here at the moment. Instead of the locker room, wait in the player tunnel outside.

Zhang Yuan touched the captain's armband beside him. Since this season, he has worn the captain's armband much more times. Gerrard mostly appeared as a substitute, and he usually puts on the captain's armband himself. Looking at the word "captain", Zhang Yuan couldn't help but feel more solemn. This game really can't be lost, not only can't lose, but also must win, otherwise it's hard to say whether the team will collapse.

Putting on the captain's armband, Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and walked out of the locker room alone. According to the "superstition", Zhang Yuan touched the sign of the Anfield stadium with his hand when he went down the steps, "This is Anfield!"

This is Anfield, give us energy today!

"Okay, players from both sides have appeared on the pitch! Liverpool's starters are goalkeeper Mignolet, defenders Klein, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno, midfielder Henderson, Kante, Ali, forwards Zhang Yuan, Firmino, Lallana. Leicester City coach Ranieri sent goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr., defenders Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fox, center In the middle of the field is Andy King, and "Drinking Brother" Drinkwater, on the wings are Riyad Mahrez and Albrighton. Forward Vardy returned from injury in time. He and Japanese international Shinji Okazaki became partners. Two strikers!" Zhou Qiang began to introduce the starting rosters of the two teams.

Vardy is as legendary as the story of Leicester City. He is very fast. He has scored 14 goals in the league, one more than Zhang Yuandu. He also broke the Premier League scoring streak In the first half, he has scored in 11 consecutive games. Such a striker is undoubtedly dangerous.

Vardy's characteristics are relatively simple and distinct. He has speed, no strong breakthrough skills, average passing, and average shooting skills, but he is very hardworking, and he is in very good condition in the first half. For Liverpool's current defense line It is a major test.

"He will take a penalty kick!" Zhang Yuan suddenly came to this conclusion. This is something that everyone has never noticed. It is during the movement of the frontcourt that all defenders have to be careful of Vardy. He is very cunning and smart, and the defenders will make a move without saying a word.

"Be careful of Vardy today! He is very good at cheating and fouling. If you lose your concentration for a second, you are likely to be caught by him. Martin, Dejan, don't be too careless!" Zhang Yuan was embracing everyone When it's time, just tell your teammates straightforwardly.

"Don't worry, Dejan and I won't make it easy for them today!" Skrtel patted his chest and assured him that he cared about Zhang Yuan's reminder.

After the start of the game, the two sides immediately fought with real knives and guns. Klopp will undoubtedly resort to his high-position pressing tactics, and the visiting team Leicester City is also not to be outdone. The two forwards Vardy and Okazaki Shinji both Very hard.

The definition of spelling is completely different in everyone's mind. For example, Zhang Yuan feels that he is fighting hard in every game, but fans will definitely not think that Zhang Yuan is fighting hard after watching Vardy and Shinji Okazaki fight hard.

The two forwards that Leicester City sent to the field today are a brutal duo. They have run without hesitation from the very beginning, trying to put pressure on Liverpool's defense. Leicester City's position is not blindly recovered. But the position is more flexible, and the follow-up is fast when the high position is pressed, which makes Liverpool have to resort to long-pass tactics.

Today's weather is still very cold. It snowed last night, but today's temperature is very low. Zhang Yuan also wore a pair of gloves to keep his hands warm. He was also uncharacteristically today. Liverpool played high-altitude balls, and he also played frequently. Going to compete for the top is actually because of the temperature. If you don’t run actively, your body will become cold soon after warming up. It’s the weather that forces him to do some warming up.

The paper strength of Leicester City is compared with that of Liverpool. It is several streets behind. It is really bad. But why they can reach such a height now is a mystery, but if you want to sum it up, you can definitely say something , For example, coach Ranieri's correct coaching ideas, the players suddenly broke out, and of course they are really able to fight.

Fighting this thing can sometimes play such a magical effect.

Today is going to be a round of hard work. Leicester City is obviously more fierce than Liverpool. During the opening period, Ranieri stood on the sidelines and directed his team to press forward. His intention to grab the start was obvious.

"Raieri also came to Anfield with ideas. Recently, the two teams have not had a problem offensively. The key is defensively. Liverpool's defense has become weak without Degan, while Leicester City The defense is not very good, Ranieri is no problem to start the game, but you have to be careful of Liverpool's attack, once Liverpool speed up, Leicester City will be very difficult to stop!" Director Zhang said with a smile and shook his head.

Leicester City's offense is obviously inclined, mainly focusing on Mahrez on the right, while Albrighton's side is relatively weaker, and they must have Ranieri for them today. The main task of the team is to see Zhang Yuan dead, so they advance very little.

Even so, the voice of Director Zhang did not fall. In the 11th minute, Liverpool created a murderous opportunity for Leicester City.

After Mahrez's cross was cleared by Skrtel, Henderson passed the ball to Clyne, who was forced to lob it forward and find the side, pressed by the Leicester City players. Zhang Yuan on the road.

Fox was at a disadvantage in the top battle with Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan gave the ball to Ali. Made a surprising move.

Ali's oblique plug was in place. In fact, there were still more than 30 meters away from the goal at this time, but Liverpool's counterattack was very fast this time. Schmeichel's position was relatively forward, and the bold Zhang Yuan directly chose to shoot.

Going forward, he slammed his right foot toward the lower part of the football. It felt good. The ball flew towards the back of Schmeichel Jr. like a shell. Schmeichel Jr. flew, but failed. When he touched the ball, he hoped that his hand would at least raise it a little bit, but it failed!

He fell to the ground, his eyes staring back at the football, countless pairs of big eyes on the Anfield Stadium were staring at Zhang Yuan, who was a big hit, Qian Huan stood up from the seat, and raised his hand involuntarily!
"Oh!"

No entry!The ball hit the corner of the goal impartially and bounced back into the field. Of course, Schmeichel Jr. would not make a mistake. He firmly pressed the ball under his body and did not get up for a long time. To Zhang Yuan, who was upset, he gave Zhang Yuan a thumbs up for his shot in his heart. At least Schmeichel didn't think Zhang Yuan was fooled. I chose a very difficult hanging door!

Zhang Yuan is indeed not fooled, he always wants to choose a correct way, the situation just now is that Firmino in the middle is a bit slow to keep up, Zhang Yuan simply chooses a direct way to test Schmeichel Jr. !
"Oh!" Qian Huan covered his mouth with both hands, "Damn it, can't this ball be a little bit luckier! A little bit is fine!"
