章節 58: 58: Free Kick!
Accompanied by Mahrez's unthreatening corner cross.
Referee Pawson blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
In the first half of Leicester City, the possession rate was as high as 65%.
At the same time, there were thirteen shots and seven hits on target, such excellent data.
Among them, there were two excellent scoring opportunities.
But the score still remained 0-0.
And although Manchester United had only 35% of the ball possession rate, but the current Manchester United midfielder was still regarded as the first-class in the Premier League.
In such a situation, they also created ten shots for the strikers.
But except for Rooney's three-legged shot, the rest of the shots were not on target. It can be said that Schmeichel was not threatened at all.
On the contrary, Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea showed the world what a goalkeeper is.
What is it, when there is no defender, the goalkeeper is the team's last line of defense.
The Leicester City players returned to the dressing room dejected, although they dominated Manchester United in the first half.
This was something they didn't even dare to think about before.
But they dominated the game without scoring a single goal.
It made them panic.
After all, their opponent was Manchester United.
Under the leadership of Sir Alex, Manchester United's reputation has been implemented throughout England.
Although the old man had long since retired, the influence that penetrates deep into the thoughts will not be changed for a while.
And the Manchester United players looked in a good mood.
But both their manager Van Gaal and assistant coach Ryan Giggs had poor expressions on their faces.
As old players and old coaches, they all know that in a game, if their goalkeeper performs the best, it means that their team is not only a threat in offense.
And it's a mess on defense too.
The first half was over.
But the commentators all over the world started to analyze and discuss David De Gea, who played the most amazing first half of the game.
Although last year, De Gea became famous, and even almost moved to Real Madrid to pick up the class of his national team veteran - Casillas.
However, De Gea's performance in this game had once again attracted the attention of the world.
In the locker room, Ranieri did not say much, but arranged tactics and guessed the substitutions and tactical changes that Manchester United might make in the second half of the game.
For the rest, there was nothing that can be done about Ranieri.
After all, in the first half of the game, according to his tactical arrangement, Rocky and Kante played as always.
The game went well and they created a lot of chances.
But the goalkeeper on the other side performed really well.
Even Mahrez chose to pass the ball after getting the single-handed ball for the sake of safety, in order to guarantee the goal.
Who knows, with a two-on-one chance, De Gea can block Vardy's shot with his toes.
De Gea's performance reminded Ranieri of his former players and opponents.
Teenage Buffon, Lion King Kahn, Van der Sar, Dida, Casillas and so on.
"Okay~"
"!"
"In the first half of the game, we played very well, although the goalkeeper on the opposite side performed better, but I believe that it must be us who scored the goal!"
"We created a lot of opportunities!"
"We have many opportunities to try!"
"But as long as the opponent makes one mistake, we will score!"
Rocky saw that the three main offensive players, Vardy, Okazaki Shinji, and Mahrez, were downcast, as if they had lost the game.
So he took the initiative to stand up and motivated them.
It's purely because he was unwilling to lose, especially when their team had upper hand, otherwise he'll stay quiet like always.
After all, he's not captain.
Of course, main thing was that he had capital and strength to say those things.
"As strikers, your main responsibility in the second half is to shoot."
"Whenever you have the chance, shoot."
"Whether it's Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, each of their goals requires almost five or six shots on average."
"Not to mention you."
I have to say, Rocky's words were still very useful.
In other words, Rocky just said what Vardy wanted to say in their hearts, but didn't say it.
At least, Vardy and Mahrez had the courage to face De Gea in their hearts.
Seeing Vardy and the others recovering, Rocky breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the main offense in the second half still had to rely on Vardy and them.
As a midfielder, it's okay for Rocky to go up occasionally to finish a shot or two, but if he goes up and shoots all the time.
Then Leicester City's entire midfield will be in chaos.
The second half of the game started.
What Van Gaal said in midfield could not be seen from the faces of the Manchester United players.
Instead, Blind and Smalling surrounded De Gea and were still discussing the first half.
They assured De Gea that something like that in the first half will never happen again.
After all, as a defender, it was impossible for the goalkeepers to complete the rushing one after another. If they are not responsible, it would be impossible.
The Leicester City players came to the field in high spirits.
The players on both sides changed the half, and the score was still tied.
Whether it's Leicester City or Manchester United's players, they were not satisfied with the scene of each side taking a point.
Manchester United's players and coaches want to break Leicester's nine-game winning streak with a win, and tell the Leicester players.
They are Manchester United, they are the overlords of the Premier League.
And the players of Leicester City want to win ten consecutive victories and go one step further towards their goal of "relegation".
After the start of the second half, the players on both sides were very active.
Especially Vardy and Okazaki Shinji.
They followed Rocky's advice and completed ten shots in 13 minutes.
The game came to the 68th minute, and Van Gaal on the coach's bench couldn't hold his breath.
He replaced the No. 10 player with the No. 7 player Depay, the team's offensive core Wayne Rooney.
When Rooney saw that he was replaced, he pointed at himself in disbelief.
Rooney never imagined that with so many people on the field and Martial's performance so hot, Van Gaal would choose to replace himself in the end.
Rooney, who wanted to say something, saw Ryan Giggs, who was standing beside Van Gaal, nodded to himself.
Rooney didn't have any other thoughts, he walked off the court angrily and went straight back to the locker room.
Depay, who was replaced, was also dizzy.
Originally sitting on the bench, he thought that this game had almost nothing to do with him.
But Depay didn't expect that he would actually be able to play.
Even before that, I didn't even warm up myself.
Depay, who suddenly came on the court, didn't know what his responsibilities were.
I don't know what to do, but he was very excited and worked hard.
Then, in the middle of a help defense, Depay bought down Rocky, who was 25 meters from the goal.
Performed exceptionally well in helping in enemy.
The referee Pawson blew his whistle and quickly ran to Depay's foul spot.
It was obvious that Paulson meant it was a foul.
Also, it's a free kick column.
On the field, including the audience in the stands, the audience in front of the TV, and the commentators sitting in the studio, they all know it.
Rocky was a heavy gunner who was best at shooting from long distances.
Moreover, he also had a unique free kick.
This free kick seems likely to be Rocky's chance.
It was also very likely Leicester City's chance to break the deadlock.
