Chapter 205 Fortunately!The ball went in!Terrified Van Dijk!

In professional football, it's not just goals that boost team morale.

A threatening attack, a sliding tackle, a fierce physical confrontation, or a wonderful pass, or a simple action can sometimes boost one's morale more or less.

Although Southampton's offense this time did not score a goal, it also boosted the morale of the Southampton players and let them see Leicester City's not-so-solid defense.

As a result, the rhythm of the following game suddenly picked up, making the scene quite a confrontational situation where you come and go.

In the 18th minute of the game, Mane received a pass from Ward-Prowse on the right side of the arc at the top of Leicester City, and suddenly turned around.

Morgan's characteristics are the same as most central defenders. He turns slowly. What he fears most is a small, quick and capable striker like Mane.

Mane successfully took advantage of Morgan's Achilles' heel of slow turning and got into the Leicester City penalty area.

But Huth and Fox were not slow to respond.

Seeing that Morgan was broken through, Huth quickly pushed forward, and Chu Zheng, who had withdrawn from the center, made up for it.

At the same time, Fox also rushed over from the wing, preparing to flank Mane with Huth and Morgan.

They did a very tacit defense this time, cutting off all connections between Mane and the Southampton players who came over to meet him.

Chu Zheng sat in the middle and saw Mane dribbling the ball to the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area. Instead of retreating, he moved forward and moved to the penalty spot.

Sure enough, in the next second, Mane, who was surrounded by the bottom line and fell into a desperate situation, turned his hips first to face the middle of the penalty area, picked the ball from the encirclement, and landed in the area where Chu Zheng was.

The moment Mane passed the ball, Southampton high center Pellet advanced to follow up before the penalty spot.

He jumped up in front of Chu Zheng, ready to hit the ball with a hammer.

However, in the next second, countless fans were speechless.

I saw that Chu Zheng, who was almost jumping on the spot, jumped up to a height that was no less than that of Pellet, who took off with the inertia of sprinting.

What's even more outrageous is that after the two bodies collided in the air, it was Pellet, who was 194cm tall and weighed 77kg, who lost his balance.

Seeing the excellent defense on the defensive end again, the Leicester City fans in the stands rejoiced and applauded violently.

On the sidelines, Coman saw Chu Zheng bouncing with strange strength, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

This is still jumping in place, if it is a run-up jump, then this kid's jumping and airborne ability can kill almost all defenders in the Premier League in seconds.

Perhaps some shorter goalkeepers are no match for this kid.

Chu Zheng's bouncing made Coman terrified when he thought about it.

The only thing that made Koman feel lucky was that Chu Zheng didn't play central defender anymore, otherwise this kid would probably be their nightmare.

For teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League like Southampton, aerial work is a means of scoring that they rely heavily on.

Therefore, if Chu Zheng often appeared in the restricted area, he would be their natural enemy!
On the field, after successfully clearing the ball out of the bottom line, Chu Zheng sat on the ground with his hands on the ground with a smile on his face, and Pellet, who looked at him with a shocked expression, stood up.

Then Chu Zheng turned around and gave a high five to the smiling Schmeichel.

Schmeichel felt really comfortable at this moment.

Since Chu Zheng joined the team, every time he faces the opponent's set kick or corner kick, he is not as uneasy as last season.

Chu Zheng's sense of crisis and position in the penalty area is really the best among players Schmeichel has ever seen, not one of them.

"The defense line of Leicester City, the problem is big or small!"

"The problem is that Huth and Morgan turn around a bit slowly. They are very afraid of this kind of quick striker!"

"As for Southampton, Mane, including Ward-Prowse, who is in very good form this season, these players are very capable of drilling, and they are simply impossible to defend against, so the players on the defensive line of Leicester City You must be cautious in choosing your position today, otherwise you may not be so lucky next time!"

"Yes, if Chu Zheng can come back this time, it may not be the case next time!"

"In the match against Arsenal, Leicester City was almost sieved by Sanchez and others..."

While Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were talking, Southampton's left corner kick was ready.

In the penalty area of ​​the penalty area, 8 players from Leicester City and Southampton huddled together.

Chu Zheng was also among the crowd.

There was a muffled bang!The ball was taken by Ward-Prowse, turning an arc in the air and going straight to the front area of ​​the small penalty area in the middle.

Immediately all the players moved towards the landing point.

In front of the goal line, Schmeichel looked at the swarming crowd, and he quickly gave up his attack plan.

In the next second, Chu Zheng and Van Dijk took off at the same time on the end line in the middle of the small penalty area.

Van Dijk is 193cm tall, has enough run-up distance, a fast center of gravity, and a fast take-off.

However, Chu Zheng's jumping conditions were not bad.

After having enough run-up distance, Chu Zheng used his bounce value as high as 91.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chu Zheng crushed Van Dijk. What was even more outrageous was that from the perspective of the stands, Chu Zheng jumped higher than the crossbar of the goal.

"No surprises!"

"Today the name of the sky above St. Mary's Stadium is Chu!!!" Seeing Chu Zheng clear the ball out of the baseline again, Zhan Jun patted the table and said.

"Whether Chu Zheng is in Wolfsburg or now Leicester City, the opponent's corner kick has a characteristic, that is, it is difficult to threaten the goal, because in terms of bounce and judgment of the landing point, Chu Zheng is rare. Rival!" Zhang Lu said in an exclamation tone.

However, Leicester City was soon sucked to death by these two guys.

On the field, the corner kick was changed to the right.

Tadic took a corner kick, and Pellet and Morgan took off before the point, but the ball missed from both ends.

On the right end line of the small penalty area, Kanter stood in front of Van Dijk, jumped directly on the spot, and hammered the ball in front of him out of the baseline again.

Chu Zheng, who was behind Van Dyke, saw that Kanter had won the ball, and he immediately burst out with joy.

Sometimes Kanter gives Chu Zheng a really amazing feeling.

Obviously only 168cm, but he can always win some high balls in the game.

"Southampton has formed a siege!"

"It's not enough to let Southampton continue to make penalties. Set kicks have always been one of the important means for teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League to score goals!"

While Zhan Jun was speaking, Southampton took another corner kick.

This time the Southampton players changed their routine again.

From the penalty spot to the right post, Southampton players interspersed with Leicester City players, and the two sides looked as if they were lining up.

Van Dijk and Pellet, the two high points of Southampton, were in the middle of the crowd, guarded by Chu Zheng and Morgan.

bang!
The moment Tadic took a corner kick, half of the Southampton players pressed forward.

Seeing Van Dijk retreat along the end line of the small penalty area, Chu Zheng immediately retreated.

However, in the next second, Chu Zheng realized that he had been fooled. He had been tricked by Van Dijk.

Tadic's kick is the front point.

Under the eyes of everyone, in the upper right corner of the small penalty area, Jose Fonte, who was standing in front of Kanter, looked back at the moon after taking off, and rubbed the ball towards the back post.

"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Seeing the ball bouncing off the goal line, crossing the goal line and hitting the inner side net, St. Mary's Stadium is like clear water poured into a tumbling oil pan and suddenly boiled.

Before hitting the goal post, Van Dijk saw the ball go in, what immediately filled his heart was not joy, but fear!
Just now, when he retreated from the center, Chu Zheng didn't follow him. Instead, he quickly moved to the left towards the goal line at the moment Fonte brushed the ball over, and stretched out his feet to reach the ball.

Van Dijk, who was behind Chu Zheng, could see very clearly that the toe of Chu Zheng's outstretched left foot had touched the ball.

Chu Zheng was almost able to make a rescue.

This discovery made Van Dijk feel turbulent and frightened.

Because this means that Chu Zheng has an extremely strong sense of defense!
As soon as Fengte came to ask for it, Chu Zheng made a move, obviously seeing through their offensive intentions.

This kind of game reading ability is really scary in Van Dijk's view!
Fortunately, the ball went in!
On the sidelines, at the moment of scoring, Ranieri shook his head helplessly.

And the Southampton coach Koeman next to him jumped up from his seat, raised his fists and rushed to the coaching area to roar and celebrate!
Ranieri squinted at the excited Coman, and showed a playful smile!

With Chu Zheng on the field, Ranieri didn't believe they couldn't equalize.

However, what happened next couldn't help Ranieri, a benevolent Italian cannon, who didn't believe in evil!
