Green Journey

Chapter 249 This is indeed a monster!

After completing a threatening shot at each other, Manchester City, which failed to grab the start, slowed down the pace of the game slightly.

For Leicester City, Chu Zheng also maintained the most comfortable rhythm of the game that he was most used to.

Compared with Liverpool's game where they charged towards the opponent's position when they got the ball, today's game between Manchester City and Leicester City was not fast-paced, and it could even be said to be slow. Both sides played extremely patiently.

But in the battle for control of the ball, neither side gave way to the other. Instead, a rare midfield battle in the Premier League broke out in the midfield area. The players on both sides fought fiercely.

Seeing Leicester City regain the ball in the midfield again and again, and then steadily advance and slowly launch an attack, this made countless Manchester City fans in the stands feel very, very strange.

They still vividly remember what Leicester City looked like last season.

That is a team whose strength is between the upper reaches of the English Championship and the lower reaches of the Premier League, otherwise Leicester City would not have allowed them to easily complete a double play last season.

But now for this team, the defense can withstand the pressure brought by their offense, the striker can threaten their goal, and the midfielder can compete with them even more, and even have some faint advantages.

Most of the players are still those players. Compared with last season, there is not much change, but the mental outlook of the team seems to have changed.

Manchester City fans expressed that they could not understand the current Leicester City team. They wanted to know what made this team complete a gorgeous transformation in a short period of time.

In the 16th minute of the game, Fernandinho successfully destroyed Leicester City's attack launched by a long pass from the backcourt before the arc top of his own big penalty area.

He rushed to the landing point to take off first, and headed the ball to David Silva behind Drinkwater in front of him.

Behind David Silva, Chu Zheng is in the center, Kanter is on the left, and Simpson is on the right. The three people in a straight line quickly made a tacit defense.

Chu Zheng and Kanter covered him from the left and right, and cooperated with Drinkwater, who turned around and rushed back, to attack the ball to grab the ball.

Simpson, on the other hand, quickly retreated in a straight line under Chu Zheng's command.

But David Silva is also a top midfielder who clearly anticipated what he would find with the ball under his feet.

So Silva quickly turned to the left after unloading the ball with his chest, raised his left foot and kicked a pass directly with the outside instep.

Chu Zheng quickly turned around and saw that at the intersection of the arc of the center circle on the left and the center line, the ball met the forward Sterling perfectly, and Simpson had been thrown away by Sterling by at least two positions.

At this moment, countless scenes of shocking fans watching this field came.

I saw that in the frontcourt, including Chu Zheng, all Leicester City players retreated immediately.

The movements and thoughts of each player are surprisingly consistent.

This kind of discipline and synergy has surprised countless fans!

On the back line of Leicester City's arc position, Morgan, who cooperated with Huth to watch Aguero in the middle, saw that Sterling did not catch the ball immediately, and let the ball bounce two meters high after landing, so he Without retreating, he went straight to Sterling.

In the next second, Morgan's huge body directly crushed Sterling, jumped up and headed the ball back to the center line behind Sterling.

At the point, Kanter and Silva arrived at the same time.

Kanter has a shorter distance and a faster start, and he is the first to reach the ball with his feet.

But Silva is also a small and fast player, and Silva's game experience is not comparable to Kanter.

He suddenly squeezed Kanter the moment he touched the ball.

Because Kanter raised his foot slightly higher, he lost his balance at once. Not only did he lose the ball, but he also fell down.

After Silva got the ball, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Vardy had chased him to a distance of one meter behind him, so he quickly divided it to the left.

Three seconds later, Simpson and Mahrez, who was galloping all the way back, successfully established a numerical advantage on the left side of the penalty area, strangling Manchester City's counterattack invisible.

Seeing this transition of offense and defense, Zhang Lu was very emotional, saying: "The current state of Leicester City is getting better and better."

"Look at their defense this time, they retreated at the same time without anyone shouting."

"Morgan stepped forward just now, and directly slowed down Manchester City's counterattack speed. He really dares to think, dare to do, and can do it!"

"And Mahrez, when did you see him return to defense so actively in previous games?"

"Every time he ran back slowly, as if the defense had nothing to do with him."

"This time, he rushed all the way back from the front field along the sidewalk!"

Zhan Jun nodded and said, "Leicester City gives people the feeling that they have been twisted into one rope by Ranieri."

"Whether it is mental or competitive, they are the best among the 20 teams in the Premier League, not one of them!"

"This is a certain desire that is born after the player has a goal in his heart. This desire stimulates the player's state!"

"And when a team has a common goal and has seen the hope of accomplishing this goal, and there is a super brain on the court who can always keep awake to guide them, then this team will burst out. Unparalleled strength!"

"Yes, football is a team game. Even if you have 11 players on the field who are all stars, but you can't knead together, it's still a mess." Zhang Lu nodded repeatedly with a smile.

On the field, seeing Simpson, Mahris, and Drinkwater blocking the upper left corner of the penalty area, Manchester City left back Kolarov directly pushed the ball to the corner.

Suddenly, Simpson had to follow Sterling, who was guarding the ball before moving to the bottom line.

Mahrez's coordinated defense this time is really unprecedentedly active.

He quickly ran to the sideline, trying to cut off the return pass of Sterling and Kolarov, and then teamed up with Simpson to trap Sterling in the corner and go to the death.

But Sterling was vigilant, or he always knew what Kolarov's purpose was to insert the ball into the corner.

So Sterling turned around with the ball and quickly knocked the ball back to Kolarov.

Kolarov just got the ball, outside the upper left corner of the penalty area, Silva in front of Drinkwater suddenly retreated three steps.

Delint Walker subconsciously followed up.

As a result, at this moment, Kolarov raised his left foot and plugged it.

The ball went straight into the empty area on the left side of the penalty area.

Aguero runs quickly to meet the ball.

Chu Zheng followed beside him.

But because he was in the restricted area, Chu Zheng didn't dare to do it too hard.

Each of these top forwards can win an Oscar winner, and sometimes he can realistically throw it to you without physical contact.

And Aguero obviously knew Chu Zheng's fear, so he rushed to the ball line and leaned against Chu Zheng.

At the moment of receiving the ball, Aguero stopped the ball forward, then quickly distanced himself from Chu Zheng, then turned to the right and dribbled the ball directly to the baseline.

On Chu Zheng's side, he followed unhurriedly, but he didn't make a move.

At this time, Aguero wanted to die a little.

After playing for so many years, which defensive player is either in a passive position or on the way to a passive position when facing him.

But today he encountered a different one.

Chu Zheng gave Aguero the feeling that he was naked, and he felt that every movement he made seemed to be seen through by Chu Zheng.

When he came to the left sideline of the small penalty area, he was about to be pinched from left to right, so Aguero had to forcefully shoot from a close angle.

However, in the next second, Chu Zheng, who seemed calm from beginning to end, raised his right foot and directly blocked his shot from the bottom line.

At that time, the timing was so perfect that Aguero couldn't help but be amazed!

In the past, Aguero didn't know why De Bruyne admired Chu Zheng so much!
Now he knows!

Through Chu Zheng's performance during this period, Aguero came to a conclusion, as De Bruyne said, 'This is indeed a monster', which is so omnipotent that it feels a little incredible.

"Manchester City played very well in this attack. Sterling, Kolarov, and Silva's passing and running suddenly exposed the area on the left side of Leicester City's penalty area." Zhang Lu began Dissect Manchester City's attack.

Zhan Jun laughed and said, "Agüero created the gap, but he still can't surpass Chu Zheng, the Mount Everest!"

Zhan Jun didn't think that with Chu Zheng's vision, he would not be able to see that this gap was exposed.

Chu Zheng always followed Aguero because he knew that it must be the striker Aguero who responded in the penalty area.

Facts have proved that Chu Zheng, who was scheming, perfectly ended Manchester City's attack.
