Chapter 96 The Gods Return to Their Positions, A Dream of Reaching the Pinnacle

The consensus at Leicester City is that they must narrow the score gap in the first half.

At this juncture, the one who can shoulder the responsibility is undoubtedly Yuan Meng.

During Leicester City's possession, captain Morgan decisively launched a long pass.

Yuan Meng bumped into Baines and stopped the ball with her chest.

Baines fell to the ground, spreading his arms to appeal to the referee.

"Isn't that a foul?"

"Normal physical contact, what foul is that?" The referee completely ignored him.

Baines couldn't understand why, when he was able to hold his own against Yuan Meng last time they fought, the difference was so great this time.

What did he eat?

Those who spend a lot of time with Yuan Meng can tell that she has become much more robust.

Since his breakthrough in strength, his appetite has increased even further, and he is now a veritable glutton.

If you eat whatever you want, you can easily consume over 4000 calories.

Yuan Meng is now a monster on the flanks, and his breakthroughs are almost unstoppable.

Center-back Jagielka managed to block Yuan Meng; only a center-back could make a direct interception.

Yuan Meng protected the ball and tapped it with her heel.

"Drinking Water Guy unleashes a powerful shot!"

"Unfortunately, it hit the crossbar; that shot was very dangerous!"

"It's not over yet!"

"The ball landed on the left side of the arc."

"Mahrez unleashes a left-footed shot!"

"GOAL!!!!!"

"pretty!"

"Leicester City are pressing forward relentlessly, giving Everton no chance to breathe!"

Is Mahrez really that awesome?

This man is on par with Yuan Shen!

Who said that?

[Hisself!]

Holy crap, that confident?

I think he must have been inspired by Yuan Shen's brilliance, which is why he suddenly had an epiphany!

[Damn it, I also want to bask in Yuan Shen's glory and improve my luck at cards; I've been losing a lot lately.]

The first half ended after the final attack was ruled offside.

"Great, we're only down by one goal!"

Ranieri was very excited; he felt the team's momentum had returned!

What are the hallmarks of a strong team?

That is, being able to tenaciously come back from behind!

These young men did it! Now it's time to keep the attack going!

Ranieri suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Am I not a defensive coach?

Forget it, whatever!

"Attack their goal relentlessly in the second half!"

"The full-backs can move forward appropriately."

"Boss, what about defense?" Captain Morgan asked.

"Unchanged: regional blockade, tightened rear defense."

The players felt a strange tension. Ranieri usually talked about defensive details, such as the opposing players' habits and passing routes.

Why are you focusing so much on offense today?

The loyal Leicester City soldiers trusted Ranieri, and at the start of the second half, Leicester City launched a fierce attack.

"La Sanchez is really good! He's got 55% possession!"

"This is incredible! Leicester City have been out-of-pocket in eighteen consecutive matches!"

"Look at this shot!"

"Yuan Shen broke through on the right flank but was surrounded by two players."

"The pass was blocked, but Drinkwater got control of the ball."

"He made a decisive cross, and Mahrez played a first-time through ball!"

"Vardy dribbles past the center-back from outside the box and unleashes a powerful shot!"

Beep beep beep—!

The referee blew his whistle, and Vardy was brought down by Pennington.

"Penalty!"

"Vardy falls in the penalty area!"

"Holy crap, why is it a free kick?"

[Thanks, you're clueless about football; the foul happened outside the penalty area!]

They couldn't even bring themselves to say it was a penalty kick when they were trying to stage an accident.

【Huh? Why is it Yuan Shen who's here to punish us?】

Has Mahrez stepped down?

A mutiny has occurred! Power has been seized! Yuan Shimin has arrived!

Yuan Meng ignored all distractions and stood two steps outside the restricted area.

The foul occurred slightly to the left of the edge of the penalty arc, and generally it's better for a right-footed player to take the penalty.

However, Yuan Meng is confident that she can hit the ball to any corner, and whether it's a dead corner or not depends on her feel for the ball.

Take a deep breath, run up, and give it a quick rub!

The King of Curves

[Proficiency: 80→100 (Minor Mastery → Major Mastery)]

[Free kick: 70→75]

[Long-range shot: 74→77]

"Goalkeeper dives!"

"Yuan Shendou, top right corner!"

"The ball went around the wall of players and fell very fast!"

"GOAL!!!!!"

"Graceful as a startled swan, lithe as a swimming dragon!"

"The ball was clearly dropping, flying towards the top corner but landing in the bottom corner midway."

"Yuan Shen, I would call you the Master of Curveball!"

It's clear the goalkeeper did his best.

There's nothing we can do; this is divine punishment!

[Great! Great! We've tied it! Let's score another one!]

[Brothers in Leicester City, you can go downstairs now, it's windy up here.]

Yuan Meng inadvertently saved his followers.

He celebrated with a passionate knee slide.

This time, he didn't forget the most crucial prop.

"Gray!" Yuan Meng shouted at the bench.

"Coming!" Gray rushed over, hat in hand. "Thanks!"

Yuan Meng took the hat, put it on, sat on the GG sign, and raised her arms to shout to the fans.

"We're Leicester, Super Foes!"

(We are Leicester, the Super Fox!)

Leicester City fans responded in unison.

"Super Fox! Super Fox! Yuan—Meng!"

Ranieri sensed it; the team's momentum had returned to its peak after a long absence. If they had performed like this at the beginning of the season, they would probably be in the Champions League zone right now.

Damn it, if only we had discovered Yuan Meng sooner!

He thought again and realized it wasn't too late; Xia Chuang had to find a way.

After the draw, Everton panicked.

A 2-0 scoreline is indeed the biggest trap in football, and Everton manager Koeman quickly made substitutions.

Barry came on at midfield, replacing Schneiderlin.

The single defensive midfielder in a 4-3-3 diamond midfield setup exhausts his stamina too quickly.

This was actually a forced replacement, and forced replacements rarely end well.

Everton's midfield control has weakened; they were initially dominant, but now they are even.

The Water Drinker is free!

Ever since he started marking Yuan Meng's passes, all the teams' midfielders have been trying to limit him.

After enduring hardship, the daughter-in-law finally became a mother-in-law, and Brother Drinking Water immediately indulged himself.

"The Longest Episode of 'Drinking Water Guy'!"

"That ball was so powerful, will it go out of bounds?"

"Yuan Shen leaped up and blocked the ball inside the boundary."

"That explosive power is incredible!"

Yuan Meng was positioned too close to the sideline, so she simply delivered a powerful cross with her right foot.

The ball flew very far and landed directly on my left side.

The moment Mahrez received the ball, he flicked it to the right with the instep, just avoiding Guy's tackle.

He quickly brushed past, afraid of being bumped.

This demonstrates his mature ability to evade and fight!

Suddenly, space opened up, and he made a powerful through pass!

Vardy takes a first-time shot!

"GOAL!!!!!"

"Strong, beautiful, and unbeatable teamwork!"

"Leicester City is alive and well!"

"This match was simply a masterpiece of team football!"

"They came back from two goals down to turn the game around!"

[A magnificent comeback!]

Fox City is awesome!

They're back, they're all back!

Ranieri and Shakespeare embraced passionately, their eyes both moist.

I don't know how long it's been since I've seen such a resilient Leicester City.

Isn't this Leicester City, the team that won the title last season?

"Five more minutes, hold on!" Ranieri roared passionately.

A good show shouldn't have a bad ending.

Yuan Meng understood this principle and retreated to defend like a wild beast.

This is where Shinji Okazaki's role becomes apparent. He has plenty of stamina and can press the center-back immediately, disrupting the opponent's passing.

Drinkwater and Ndidi have teamed up to form a Kante-like force, sweeping through the midfield.

The defense was extremely focused and their formation was tight.

Goalkeeper Schmeichel was on high alert.

At this moment, the gods of Leicester City have returned to their rightful place!

Everton were unable to turn the tide and suffered defeat.

Beep beep beep—!

competition is over.

"We turned the tide!"

"A double victory over Everton!"

The players hugged each other, enjoying the cheers that belong to the victors.
