Chapter 587 Battle against Leicester City ([-])

Leicester City.

From the outside, this team is really an extremely boring team, the most simple city, an ordinary home court, a coach known as a tinkerer, and their formation-a standard 442.

In the past year, Leicester City's starting lineup has been so boring. As long as no one is injured, it will always be a lineup.

Goalkeeper - Schmeichel Jr.
Defenders - Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs
Midfielders - Mahrez, Kante, Drinkwater, Albrighton
Forwards - Shinji Okazaki, Vardy
Ranieri sent out the main lineup that won the championship last season. Except for the forward line, Ranieri did not choose "Ulloa" but chose Shinji Okazaki. The other positions were the same as the media predicted before the game.

After the game started, the camera took a shot of the owner of Leicester City, "Vichai". The Thai man was in a good mood with a red face. After the team's success last year, he has also become a legend, the owner who won the Premier League championship with minimal investment.

Bayern's starting lineup is exactly the same as when they played against Atletico Madrid.
Goalkeeper - Manuel Neuer
Defenders - Alaba, Boateng, Benatia, Lahm

Midfielders - Javi Martinez, Vidal
Midfielders - Costa, Muller, Joe Lee

Striker - Lewandowski

After the start of the game, Bayern hit Leicester City's penalty area with a through pass. Lewandowski turned around and shot to complete the first shot of the game, but the ball was high.

After the ball flew out of bounds, the fans on the scene exclaimed, Bayern's offensive rhythm is too fast, you must know that in the Premier League, Leicester City beats the world fast, and Bayern's "fast" is obviously more than Leicester City.

Soon, Bayern's second shot came. Li Qiao cut inside after taking the ball from the wing. All this was too fast and too sudden. Leicester City's right back "Simpson" couldn't keep up, and Li Qiao ran to the arc of the penalty area and volleyed.

The ball flew towards the goal flatly, like an arrow from the string. The "little Schmeichel" in front of the goal dared not pick it up, so he could only hit the ball out of the penalty area with both fists.

With another exclamation, in just 5 minutes, Bayern has completed two shots. The strength of the Bundesliga leader is indeed very strong.

The fans of Leicester City are very excited. A year ago, it was unimaginable for Leicester City people to see the top European teams at the King Power Stadium, but now they have played against Bayern here, and this is not the end. Leicester City people are still looking forward to Real Madrid and Barcelona.

*****
There are two magic weapons for Leicester City to settle down in the Premier League-the first is defense. Leicester City has a strong ability to resist and attack, and the second is super strong counterattack ability. Leicester City’s counterattack can be called minimalism.

After 10 minutes, Leicester City was gradually able to compete with Bayern in the midfield. In modern football, the midfielder wins the world, and Leicester City has two midfielders. The first is "Drinkwater" who is known as the drinking brother, and the other is "Kante", who is a bit like Makelele. After Kanter took the ball, he resisted Vidal's first wave of tackles.

Then he gave the ball to "Drinkwater", and the drinker pushed it to Mahrez diagonally, and Vardy on the other side started at the same time.

The fans at the scene began to look forward to it. Last season, the success rate of such a routine was 70%. Everyone knew that the next step was Mahrez breaking through on the wing.

Facing Ram, Mahrez danced his two long legs and made practical but simple fake moves. At about the same time, Mahrez accelerated and cut forward. Mahrez started it very much like Bolt. Regardless of his height and long legs, he accelerated very quickly.

And Mahrez's trick has been tried and tested in the Premier League, but today is different. In front of him are the World Cup champions.

When Mahrez flicked the ball, Ram quickly inserted between Mahrez and the ball. In this way, Ram separated Mahrez from the ball. Facing Ram with a low center of gravity and a well-positioned position, Mahrez had nothing to do.

Ram passed the ball in the middle and gave it to Martinez, while Vardy sprinted 30 meters on the other side, which was tantamount to running in vain. The Leicester City fans at the scene were disappointed, "Why is the script different"?
When the game lasted 15 minutes, the Leicester City people finally experienced the strength of Bayern. In the past 5 minutes, Bayern had an overwhelming possession rate. Vidal and Martinez had the upper hand in the contest with Drinkwater and Kanter.

When Martinez received the ball in midfield, he suddenly raised his ankle, and the ball went straight into the penalty area. Lewandowski had no advantage in front of the boxer-like "Morgan".

The sharp forward Lewandowski just squeezed forward inch by inch, and finally squeezed onto the landing point of the ball. Morgan stretched out his hands and thought: "Even if you can get the ball, so what? Can you still fly?"
Lewand also knew that as long as he unloaded the ball, he would be surrounded. At this time, Lewand saw Li Qiao who was cruising from the wing to the arc of the penalty area. Lewand had an idea. He headed the ball lightly in his direction and sent it to Li Qiao.

Then Lewandowski continued to squeeze back, squeezing Morgan away, and gave Li Qiao a shot space. Li Qiao didn't hesitate. The ball sent by Lewandowski was very comfortable.

"Junior Schmeichel" in front of the goal stretched his body and jumped to the limit without touching the ball. The ball scored and Bayern led 1-0.

After scoring the goal, Li Qiao didn't celebrate wantonly. He stood still, slapped his left chest where the team emblem was located, and growled at the same time.

At the same time, the fans at the King Power Stadium were quiet. They thought: "Just conceded the ball like this, we conceded the ball with such a simple attacking routine"?
"Bayern is simply more Leicester City than Leicester City",
"Yeah, Bayern scored us a goal with the way we play",
This ball reminds Leicester City people of Vardy and Mahrez. These two people often play back in the penalty area and shoot in front of the penalty area.

Summer clenched his fists, and an away goal reassured him, "Li Qiao is doing well, beautiful."

Ranieri was as calm as ever. Facing Bayern, he could have imagined such a situation. He whistled and pointed to Drinkwater. The place where Li Qiao shot just now was the midfielder, which is obviously the area that Drinkwater should guard.

Drinkwater has two characteristics - ruthless and rough.

The skills are not good, but the style is very tenacious, which has the characteristics of the older generation of English players. Ranieri's accusation made Drinkwater plant the seeds of displeasure with Li Qiao. He looked at Li Qiao and had a plan in his mind.

*****
After taking the lead, Bayern kicked the ball better. The Bayern players' ability to control the ball is already strong, coupled with a relaxed mentality.

Today, Bayern's striker and attacking midfielder like to press into the penalty area, so there is actually a vacuum in the attacking midfielder's position, and Li Qiao is keen to see this space, and often inserts from the side to the center.

On the wing, Li Qiao can give full play to his speed advantage, but in the midfielder position, Li Qiao can use his shooting ability. The opportunity will come soon.

Huth's ball didn't reach the penalty area, and at this time Li Qiao was waiting there. Seeing that Li Qiao was able to volley again, the next second, the Bayern fans felt anxious and wanted to swear.

I saw "Drinkwater" shovel from Li Qiao's back to Li Qiao's left foot. This is Li Qiao's supporting leg. Drinkwater's action is very bad, too bad. Even in the Premier League, such an action is 100% red card, but today the referee was blind and gave Drinkwater a yellow card.

The Bayern players quit, Muller was arguing with the referee, and Vidal on the other side directly started fighting with Drinkwater, and the two met head to head.

Vidal's English is so-so, and he keeps repeating a word in his mouth-"beast".

And Drinkwater was full of smiles, you would never guess how dirty his mouth was at this time, "Silly X, pig, XXX", Drinkwater angered Vidal with foul language, but the Chilean also had a full face of smiles, and directly changed the curse in his native Spanish.

On the other side, Li Qiao had already been carried off the field on a stretcher, and Wolfart conducted an emergency inspection on Li Qiao on the sidelines.

"Does it hurt here?"
"pain",
"pain"?Wolfart thought this was a good thing, if it didn't hurt, it proved that the bone was broken and he lost consciousness.

"I break your ankle, you tell me how it feels",
"It hurts, but it's bearable",
There was a smile on the corner of Wolfart's mouth. He nodded at Samer, indicating that it was okay. Wolfart was very experienced, and he could use a simple diagnosis to judge whether the player could persist.

"It's okay, apply ice for a while, it's a hard injury",
But at this time on the court, Vidal and Drinkwater finally lost their good temper, and from foul greetings to punches, Vidal slapped Drinkwater's face, Drinkwater slapped Vidal's bald head, and finally both were sent off. Ranieri and Summer sent two people to escort them back to the locker room.

Both sides sent off a defensive midfielder, which can be regarded as an equal reduction in staff, but the Leicester City people felt that they had made a profit, because Drinkwater kicked Li Qiao down, and soon, the Leicester City people realized that they were wrong.

After a few minutes of icing, Li Qiao stood up again and ran into the field. At this time, the people of Leicester City were completely dumbfounded.

When Li Qiao regained his position as the left winger, Drinkwater, who was already in the locker room, wanted to whip himself.
