Star Card System

Leicester City players felt very tired after less than ten minutes of the game.

This opponent is too strong.

Yes, too strong.

Even though they have played against Manchester City and Chelsea before, they were not as tired as today.

Manchester City players have top-notch midfield control, and Leicester City's defense is under great pressure.

Chelsea's three lines are well connected, and the wing attack is sharp, so Leicester City's physical energy consumption is not small.

But today, they felt like they were punching cotton.

This opponent didn't even have any physical contact with them.

Repeated passes were all involving Leicester City's defense line to run with them, which was very passive.

Even though Xia Xing's prediction and tackle were in place, Rosicky's pass was more exciting.

Sure enough, he was called a midfield master who "if it weren't for injuries, his skills would be at the same level as Zidane's."

Pearson was also under great pressure on the sidelines.

Fortunately, he asked the players to stabilize the opening in the locker room and then look for offensive opportunities.

Even so, their defense was very difficult.

Pearson waved vigorously toward the court, called the players' names, and made two special gestures.

Soon, the players received confidence.

The left and right full-backs De Laet and Moore moved slightly closer to the middle, and James and Mahrez also retreated a little.

Leicester City's team's offensive and defensive system is more concentrated.

Facing Arsenal's fierce attack at the beginning, Leicester City did not force itself to be arrogant.

Although everyone in the team is confident about this game, everyone also understands the gap in strength between the two sides.

You must not shout slogans in vain without considering the actual situation, otherwise you will be killed by Arsenal.

Even though Leicester City was prepared for the frontcourt cooperation in this game, it still did not attack recklessly at the beginning.

During this period, it still relied on the midfield's fast long pass counterattack to threaten Arsenal's goal.

Knocket received Mahrez's pass and a powerful shot was also threatening, but it still missed the goal.

Leicester City's fast attack was fruitless.

On the other hand, Arsenal did not score any goals after several wonderful cooperations.

As time went on, their offense also weakened a little.

On the football field, no team can go all out for 90 minutes, there must be a break.

In this gap, it is a good opportunity for Leicester City!

Ramsey's ground shot on the penalty area line was punched out by Schmeichel, and the ball fell at the feet of left back De Laet!

At this time, most of Arsenal's players were in Leicester City's half!

It's a good opportunity to counterattack!

De Laet made a cross pass and the ball was handed to Drinkwater's feet!

Brother Drink Water made a short pass forward!

The ball was controlled by Xia Xing!

Facing Arteta's pressing, Xia Xing knocked it to the side again!

James quickly inserted the ball forward!

Diagonal pass without stopping the ball!

Xia Xing used his speed to get past Arteta's defense!

Another diagonal pass outside the penalty area to the back point!

Knocket received the ball after offside!

He got a single shot!

Pushed the ball into the near corner of the goal!

"Szczesny blocked the ball with his foot!"

"The Arsenal goalkeeper made a great contribution!"

"Perfect defense!"

"Although there was no goal, Leicester City's counterattack was very exciting!

"Arsenal's shot was punched out by Schmeichel,

"Leicester City launched a fast break from the backcourt!

"Continuous passes from the left, very clever!

"The last Knocket's running position was also very crucial!

"It's just that Szczesny's defense was too exciting, and Leicester City failed to score successfully.

"I believe this defense will make Arsenal a little alert. ”

Leicester City's quick attack did shock Arsenal players a little.

I've watched Leicester City's Championship games and games against Manchester City and Chelsea before. Leicester City's offense was very direct, and they rarely played this kind of continuous short pass cooperation.

What, do you also want to play artistic football?

Haha.

After a brief shock, Arsenal continued their offensive mode.

In this game, Rosicky had a strong control in the midfield.

As a representative of the Czech golden generation, his passing imagination is simply unparalleled.

Ramsey also played a huge role in the midfield, with excellent passing and control, and a good shot.

Arteta's control of the field has a big picture.

And the clever skills of Podolski and Cazorla put great pressure on Leicester City.

Giroud in the middle The effect of the pillar is obvious.

Throughout the first half, except for a few counterattacks by Leicester City, Arsenal almost completely controlled the game.

Another fast break pressed Leicester City, Xia Xing knocked down Rosicky with a frontal tackle.

Although this tackle was very fierce, it was not a foul, and the ball was successfully intercepted.

However, when Rosicky got up from the ground, he felt some pain in his ankle.

Although the impact was not great, it still felt uncomfortable.

How could this kid have such great strength...

With Xia Xing's fierce defense, Leicester City players continued to strengthen their defensive hardness.

In the midfield, Arsenal players frequently fell to the ground, and their attacks were repeatedly interrupted.

In the 37th minute of the game, Ramsey had passed the ball, but was still kicked in the calf by Drinkwater who was rushing up.

The referee whistled!

Although no card was played, Drinkwater was warned.

Drinkwater smiled and waved his hands, indicating that he did not mean it and would pay attention next time.

The referee did not say anything else.

However, the continuous fierce defense affected Arsenal's offense.

Since Xia Xing's defense, teammates seem to have some enlightenment.

Even if Arsenal players pass the ball, they continue to physically collide with players without the ball.

It is called inertia.

The scene seems a bit rough, but this is the style of the Championship team.

Arsenal fans booed in the stands, but Leicester City players did not care.

We did not commit a malicious foul, but just a reasonable collision, what are you booing?

In the second minute of injury time in the first half, Rosicky's direct free kick slipped out of the goal.

Arsenal ended the last shot of the first half.

The referee whistled and the first half was over.

Neither side scored a goal.

Arsenal players returned to the locker room unwillingly.

And Leicester City players also returned to the locker room with lingering fear.

The first half of the game was too dangerous.

Back in the locker room, Pearson praised the performance of the whole team.

"Guys, you did a good job in the first half!

"We are halfway to success by keeping Arsenal scoreless!

"We must continue to defend strongly in the second half,

"But don't miss the opportunity to counterattack.

"Your several fast breaks were very good,

"If it weren't for Szczesny's bad luck, we would have scored a goal long ago!

"Vardy, Knocket,

"In the second half, you should make more breakthroughs in the penalty area,

"Then give some scoring opportunities to the midfielders,

"Take the opponent by surprise,

"We will definitely score!"
