Chapter 227 Mourinho's last effort!

During the intermission, Lampard and Lineker were discussing the first half of the game in the England BBC live broadcast room.

"If I hadn't seen Mourinho standing on the sidelines, it would be hard for me to believe that what I just watched was a Chelsea game!" Lineker, who was sitting in front of the studio, spread his hands and said.

"An extremely bad game!" Lampard pursed his lips, "This is not a normal Chelsea team!"

Chelsea's performance today made Lampard extremely disappointed.

After watching the first half, Lampard had a feeling that Mourinho sent a group of blind players.

There is no offensive organization in the midfield, the forward ball is very casual, and there is no clear direction at all. The strikers fight alone when they get the ball. The attitude of the game is negative, and there is no shadow of team football at all.

The only thing that makes Lampard, a Chelsea star, a little gratified is that Chelsea's defense performed well and did not fall below the standard.

But if Mourinho does not make effective adjustments in the second half, then Lampard has no hope for Chelsea.

"This is Chu's 17th Premier League assist! God, this is his first Premier League season, and he is only 2002 goals away from the highest assist record created by Henry in the 2003-3 season!"

"But guys, we need to be mindful that this season is only halfway through!" Lineker said emphatically.

"Guys, do you know what this means?" Lineker looked at the camera with some excitement, "It means that Chu is likely to create a desperate single-season assist record in the Premier League this season! "

Lampard saw that Lineker was a little excited, and he said with a smile: "I don't think anyone thinks that Chu is a parallel importer now!"

Lampard has been watching Chu Zheng's performance in the first half.

If Lampard could use one word to describe Chu Zheng's performance, it would be 'perfect'.

Although he is very reluctant to admit it, Lampard has already got the answer in his heart.

That is, at Chu Zheng's age, he couldn't be as good at attacking and defending as Chu Zheng.

Lampard is also a midfielder and a world-class all-around midfielder.

He has spent his long career in the Premier League, so he knows very well how difficult it is to play in the Premier League.

His highest assist figure in the Premier League is 16.

Therefore, Chu Zheng's current assist data is completely a super midfielder's data.

Not to mention 6000 million, even million is worth it!
"If Chu can continue this crazy state until the end of the season, I think his worth will directly double!" Lampard pointed to the replay of the first half offensive highlights and said convincingly.

Lineker next to him heard Lampard's words without the slightest surprise.

In world football, there are many strikers who can score goals.

But a super midfielder like Chu Zheng who can send out so many assists is definitely a super scarce resource!

Once Chu Zheng breaks the single-season assist record set by Henry and creates his own record, then Lineker can almost predict that Chu Zheng will be snapped up by the big giants.

Lineker felt that Chu Zheng's net worth would definitely be an astronomical figure!
Amidst the discussions between Lampard and Lineker, the 15-minute intermission was fleeting!
On the sidelines, Chelsea and Leicester City players walked back to the pitch one after another.

The fourth official on the sidelines held up the substitution sign, and Mourinho replaced No. 10 Hazard with Pedro.

This is a matchup substitution, and it is not yet known what adjustments Mourinho has made to Chelsea.

After the start of the second half, Chu Zheng kept vigilant in his heart.

Although Chelsea played today's game weakly as if they had lost their souls, they are a Premier League giant after all.

But after a few minutes of watching the game, Chu Zheng realized that he was thinking too much.

Mourinho doesn't know why, except for Pedro's matchup substitution, the tactical strategy has not been adjusted.

And Chelsea's players didn't seem to be woken up by Mourinho's spray, and they were still playing health-preserving football aimlessly!

So, soon Chelsea will be unlucky!
In the 51st minute of the game, Morgan was pressed by Costa in the arc position of the middle circle.

The experienced Morgan did not choose to turn around and then play the ball.

He didn't give Costa a chance to get close, and directly hit the right wing, and Fox, who withdrew to respond, passed back to Schmeichel in the backcourt.

After Schmeichel got the ball, he opened his arms to signal the formation to press up, and he was going to shoot.

After some adjustments, Schmeichel kicked the ball towards Chelsea's half, about 40 meters away from the goal's right rib area.

On the landing point, Mahrez failed to hold it, and was squeezed in front of Azpilicueta behind him, took off and hit the ball.

But the ball saw the height but did not see the distance, and flew to the area three or four meters away from Azpilicueta's right front.

On the spot, Chu Zheng and Oscar met again.

There was no surprise in the end. Chu Zheng was like a bulldozer, retreating towards the ball, leaving Osk behind him helpless. He could only watch as Chu Zheng jumped up and rubbed the ball to Kanter on the arc of the middle circle.

After Kanter took the ball, he took it horizontally to the middle circle.

Matic and Ramirez also moved.

But Kanter suddenly made a through kick during the run, and the ball jumped between Matic and Ramirez, and went straight to Vardy on Chelsea's back line.

Seeing the ball coming, Vardy quickly retreated, followed by Zuma, and in front of him was Matic who turned and rushed back.

Faced with this situation of front and back pinching, Vardy didn't stop the ball, and kicked the ball without stopping, pushing the ball to the left with the inside of his right foot.

In the front area of ​​the right rib at the top of the arc, Ulloa took the ball and faced the goal, directly attracting Terry and Azpilicue Taqueta to the left and right.

Ulloa dawdled for a second or two, then turned suddenly to the right and passed the ball to Mahrez who came from the wing.

Mahrez got the ball outside the upper right corner of the penalty area.

Facing Azpilicueta who quickly settled in front of him, he suddenly made a cross with his left foot, which caught Azpilicueta off guard.

The moment Mahrez passed the ball, Vardy in the arc top area of ​​the middle line went straight forward.

After taking Zuma in front of him, he suddenly turned to the right and rushed between Zuma and Terry abruptly.

In front of the end line on the right side of the small penalty area, Vardy and the ball met smoothly.

Before the ball landed, Vardy raised his foot and made a kick.

At such a close distance, Courtois has no power to resist.

"boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Seeing the ball fly into Chelsea's goal again from the middle, the Leicester City fans in the stands once again fell into wild celebration.

Incredible! !

Before the game, Leicester City fans thought that even if Chelsea were in a downturn, even if they could win, it should not be too easy.

However, the fact is that Leicester City is in full bloom, whether it is a counterattack or a positional offense, they are playing smoothly and calmly.

On the sidelines, Ranier, who saw that the game was already a winner, had a particularly bright smile on his face.

"This is the ability of the current Leicester City team. They don't completely rely on Chu Zheng's attack in the midfield!"

"This goal speaks volumes about the abilities of the rest of Leicester's players!"

"From Chu Zheng to Vardy who completed the shot and scored the goal, the players of Leicester City cooperated tacitly, and the offensive thinking was very clear!"

In the live broadcast room, if Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were not very optimistic about Leicester City winning the Premier League this season.

After watching this game, their confidence in Leicester City has increased a bit!
In this game, although Chelsea's offense is not good, but the defense has not dropped!
"Tinker! Ranieri, worthy of the name!"

"There is no pot that this Italian can't mend!"

"The pot he mended is strong and durable, and it is also enriched with powerful attack power!"

"Now, after Manchester United and Arsenal, another Premier League giant has been knocked down by Leicester City!" Zhan Jun's humorous words kept popping out of his mouth.

"Haha..." Zhang Lu next to me was so happy when she heard this.

But he also had to admire Ranieri's ability to train young players.

What was Leicester City like before Ranieri came?That's the relegation team!
Therefore, the miracle that Leicester City has created now is based on the tactical system brought by Ranieri.

Of course, it is also inseparable from the efforts of all players. This is the real team football!
Before the game restarted, Mourinho, who was black-faced on the sidelines, quickly made substitution adjustments.

Seeing the fourth official on the sidelines holding up the substitution sign twice in a row, in the BBC live broadcast room, Lineker laughed and said: "Mourinho used up the last substitution quota!"

"But I don't understand why he didn't make substitutions and adjustments in the midfield!" Lineker asked doubts in his heart.

LeTV Sports Live.

"No. 4 Cesc Fabregas replaced 16-year-old Terry!" Zhang Lu was a little surprised, "Is Mourinho going to play three central defenders?"

"It should be! There is still enough time for them to equalize the score!" Zhan Jun continued, "Loirc Remy replaced Oscar!"

"This French striker is extremely fast and has good physical fitness!"

Soon, Mourinho's substitution adjustments were presented in front of everyone.

Chelsea changes 352, 334!

Not only has the formation changed, but Mourinho has also given instructions to the players on the field. The formation presses forward, strengthening Chelsea's pressure in the midfield!

But Lineker and Lampard are not very optimistic about Mourinho's adjustment.

Because although this kind of tactical play of pressing onslaught can create some opportunities, it is precisely what Ranieri likes best.

The speed and horror of Leicester's counterattack is now well known in England!

Once Leicester City has the opportunity to counterattack, he can quickly hit your goal with three or two kicks.

The goals of Vardy, the new Premier League striker that the European media are now talking about, are not luck. Don't doubt this striker's finishing ability!

And Chu Zheng, Leicester City's midfield brain, is still on the field!

Coupled with the assistance of Kanter, who is also famous in the Premier League, neither of them feels that with the current spirit and state of Chelsea players, they can directly threaten Leicester City's goal in the middle.

In the eyes of Lampard and Lineker, Chelsea on the field now has only one breath left.

Once Leicester City scored the third goal through a counterattack!
Then this remaining breath will be vented immediately, and Chelsea is likely to usher in a big defeat that loses all face!
