“Goooooooaaaaaal！！ 1：0！ Liverpool played a wonderful attacking combination and they are now 1-0 ahead of Leicester City away! ”

Klopp clenched his hands into fists, this goal made him happy in his heart, such a goal was very beautiful, almost all the attacking players were involved: all the players cooperated tacitly, all had credit, and finally Jiang Chenxi completed the fatal blow!

Jiang Chenxi led his teammates to the stands of the away team Liverpool fans at the King Power Stadium to celebrate.

Leicester fans in the stands booed.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri gestured from the sidelines to signal his players not to panic and not to be affected by the goal conceded.

Ranieri has repeatedly denied that Leicester City is the champion-winning team in front of the media, and has been emphasizing that Leicester are aiming for relegation.

You could say that the old Italian man is accumulating character.

It can also be said that the old man is a little hypocritical, after all, it is really too much to say anything about relegation at this time.

But Ranieri knew in his heart why he was doing it: Did he dream of a miracle to lead his team to the championship? Of course! However, even Ranieri feels that is extremely unlikely, and the Italian is very experienced in leading the team, and he knows very well that once he has made it clear that his goal is to win the title, it will be a disadvantage and have a psychological impact on the players. Ranie used this way to relieve the pressure on the whole team, he just stressed the need to play every game hard in the team, and did not say much else, he thought that it was not yet time to shout slogans, a team that was still relegated last season wanted to play out the myth of England's top flight for more than 100 years? It's so hard!

So, in the pre-match internal team meeting, Ranieri did not shout the slogan that he must win, he told his players that the pressure is on Liverpool's side, they are the defending champions, Liverpool must win, and they just need to keep not losing to win.

So, now Ranieri's gesture is a reminder to the Leicester players: only one goal down, don't panic, we only need one goal to equalise and complete the goal, there is still time!

……

"Leicester didn't panic after conceding the goal!" He Wei said, "They didn't immediately blindly press out to attack, but paid attention to strengthening the defense. ”

'Ranieri is very experienced, he must have anticipated the situation in the first half and made arrangements for the players. Zhang Lu said.

On the live broadcast of Xinchao.com, Zhan Jun was also full of praise for Ranieri, "Although he has not led the team to win the championship in his entire career, Ranieri is undoubtedly capable, he has coached so many teams, very experienced, in football, Ranieri is a well-known good man, he knew that the club had invited Mourinho, and he still insisted, hoping that Abu would change his mind." As a result, he was still sacked after helping the team reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. You know, this is a great achievement, and there is no way to compare Chelsea at that time with Chelsea now! ”

Leicester City are very 'current affairs'.

The next game seemed to be 'going well' for Liverpool.

They started to take over the game, putting pressure on Leicester's goal.

Leicester City have done a good job defensively, though.

In particular, their French midfielder N'Golo Kante has been outstanding, with the dim Frenchman being almost everywhere in midfield.

The most basic attribute of a strong team aiming to win the championship is to have a strong midfield configuration, Ranieri said that Leicester City is not a championship team, they are a relegation team, but now in the eyes of everyone, Leicester City is a championship team, that is because they have a strong midfield, among them, Kante's performance is amazing, the French small man has all the attributes of a midfielder, the attack can be crushed like a bulldozer, and the defense can become a barrier like a scavenger.

In fact, Claudio Ranieri should now be thankful that Leicester City football manager Steve Murphy is the boss of Leicester City. Walsh's constant persuasion led him to 'reluctantly' nod his head to bring in Kante.

In this summer, Steve. Walsh brought the 24-year-old Kante from France to Leicester City, England, for £5.6 million at the time.

Of course, no one paid attention to the deal, and there were even many media ridicules that they were not optimistic about the future of the black Frenchman in Leicester City.

During the 1998 World Cup, seven-year-old Kante and his father were engaged in 'sorting old items' on the streets of Paris, toiling the streets in search of discarded items and sending them to recycling plants, which were their source of livelihood.

Four years later, Kante's father died, and his childhood was even more difficult.

For the black kids in the ghetto, playing football seemed to be their only chance, and Kante Jr. joined a club in Paris called JS Surenes, where he spent 10 years, and because of his small stature, Kante took his own accounting courses in case he didn't have to play to support himself and his family.

Later, he played two more seasons for Boulogne, a lower league team. Later, he moved to Caen to help the Ligue 2 club get promoted to Ligue 1. In his last season in France, Kante helped Caen to relegation in Ligue 1 with his excellent performance, all of which Walsh looked at.

The Sun previously broke the news that in the summer, Steve. Walsh tried to convince Ranieri to agree to sign Kante, which can be described as "talking dry".

Claudio Ranieri was having a hard time making up his mind – he had strong doubts that N'Golo Kante would survive the rigors of the Premier League. Therefore, every time he bumped into the Italian coach at the training base, Walsh would repeatedly mumble a man's name: "Kante, Kante!" ”

……

"Kante!"

"Kante!"

Leicester City fans at the King Power Stadium chanted the name excitedly.

It was once again the French midfielder who showed his defensive prowess, anticipating Liverpool's pass in advance, suddenly rushing up and squeezing Milner away to destroy the pass.

This is quite remarkable, you know, Milner is a strong tough guy, and he is notoriously desperate, and he was squeezed away by Kante to complete a steal and interception.

'N'Golo Kante is smart, he's not fighting physically, it's skill and good prediction. He Wei exclaimed.

Ranieri applauded from the sidelines, applauding the Frenchman's excellent defense, well, worthy of his fancy player!

Klopp spread his hands helplessly, Leicester City gave up the initiative, they retracted the defensive line, this is Liverpool's opportunity to launch an attack and strive to expand the score, however, Leicester City's defense made Klopp a little impressed, especially Kante, a midfielder who is only 169cm tall, is simply everywhere in the midfield, where there is danger, he appears there, and builds a barrier in front of Leicester City's penalty area.

Liverpool's passing delivery failed repeatedly, which made Jiang Chenxi appear isolated in front, and for a while, Liverpool did not have a good chance to score.

At the end of the first half, the visiting Liverpool temporarily led Leicester City by one goal.

1-0 was a very delicate scoreline, and the home Leicester fans were not too disappointed, putting their expectations and hopes in the second half, and the visiting Liverpool fans were happy with the scoreline: they were ahead!

……

'Leicester are likely to be on the attack when the second half starts, watch out for their counter-attack, for our opponents they can accept a draw and just need one goal to equalise, which will give them a lot of anticipation!'

Jurgen Klopp looked at his players and continued: "Watch out for Jamie Vardy and don't be fooled by his performance in the first half. ”

Jurgen Klopp emphasised that Jamie Vardy is also the kind of player who has a strong ability to take chances, and Leicester did not have too many attacking chances in the first half, so Vardy appeared to be indifferent, but in the second half Jedi should not be taken lightly.

"How's the pitch going?" Klopp asked, and he asked his goalkeeper Karius.

The rain didn't stop, so the first half of this game was a rain fight, but towards the end of the first half, the rain was much lighter.

"It's a little slippery!" Karius thought for a moment and said, "If the opponent shoots from a distance, it will look troublesome." ”

In the first half, Riyad Mahrez had a long-range shot that would have become heavy and interfere with the goalkeeper's save, but Karius made the first save and was quick enough to pounce on the ball and not give Jamie Vardy a chance to make a follow-up effort.

And Jiang Chenxi also had a powerful long-range shot that caused the opponent's goalkeeper Schmeichel to get out of his hands, and then the follow-up Firmino's follow-up shot hit the post, which was Liverpool's best scoring opportunity in the first half of the game except for Jiang Chenxi's goal.

"Pay attention to this situation, in the second half of the game, be wary of the opponent's long-range shots, and don't give them the opportunity to shoot from a distance in the danger area!" Klopp said.

"At the same time, we can try to shoot more from a distance." Jurgen Klopp said to the attacking players.

Jiang Chenxi, Firmino, Salah, Lallana and Milner all nodded.

……

On the other hand, in the home team's dressing room, Ranieri is also explaining the tactics of the second half to his players.

'At the start of the second half, Jurgen Klopp will definitely ask his players to step up defensively to deal with our possible tackles.

'So, fifteen minutes into the second half, we don't go out, we have to defend harder.'

"If they press out, should we press out and fight back!" Mahrez asked.

"Don't!" "Fifteen minutes into the second half, our task was to defend, not to concede a goal! ”

After a pause, the Italian man added, "Barring of course, they make a big mistake and we have a great chance to counter-attack and we can press out and attack!" ”

"But!" Ranieri looked at Kante, "Kante, you're going to stay in the half, the defense depends on you!" ”

"Yes." Kan nodded, didn't say anything, and didn't pat his brother to make a statement, he was not good at words, he was a man of action.

"Sixty-five minutes later, this is the start time of our attack, we have to take Liverpool by surprise!"

"Try to score before the eighty minutes, and then our task is to defend and hold on to a 1-1 draw!"

If the first half had not conceded a goal and the score was still 0-0, Ranieri would have considered the possibility of winning the game 1-0, but now that he was down 0-1 in the first half, Ranieri was very sober and content, a draw, and that was the goal of Leicester City's game.

A 1-1 draw at home to defending champions Liverpool was a completely acceptable result!

What the? You say that Leicester City now has more points than Liverpool, Leicester City is the leader, a team that wants to compete for the title, can't be so unambitious? Don't be foolish, our goal is – please shout out: ......

……

Klopp frowned.

The second half had already been played for 60 minutes, and the score on the field was still 1-0 for Liverpool.

It stands to reason that Liverpool are still ahead and he should be happy, but Jurgen Klopp is frowning and Leicester's situation is a bit of a surprise to him.

At the start of the second half, Leicester did not press out and focused on defence, seemingly completely unthinking about attacking to get the score, as if it were not them who were behind.

And even if Liverpool pressed out to attack, Leicester City successfully completed a defense, and after they got the ball, they did not consider pressing out to attack immediately, but first stabilized the situation and did not force the attack.

Will Leicester accept a 1-0 loss?

Jurgen Klopp glanced at the home team's dugout, where Claudio Ranieri sat with a quiet face and no sign of any hurry.

However, Klopp doesn't think Ranieri will accept defeat, don't look at this old man shouting about relegation and relegation all day long, and can't make it possible to shout 'champion' and 'champion' shirtless when no one is around!

Ranieri held his glasses and stared at the pitch, he looked at the time, and at the same time observed the performance of the Liverpool players, and mentally assessed that he was ready to suddenly launch a Leicester attack in a few minutes.

……

It was at this time that the field.

Jiang Chenxi retreated to midfield to get the ball, and he received a pass from Henderson.

Pulling the ball and turning around, while carrying Mahrez with his body, Jiang Chenxi began to accelerate suddenly.

Subsequently, he used his speed again to wipe out Andy. Kim, and then he was hit, it was Kante.

Kante saw Jiang Chenxi rushing up, and he didn't dare to slack off, stuck his position, and forced him out.

He didn't blindly kick out, but stared at Jiang Chenxi, the two of them were entangled together, his purpose was to slowly force Jiang Chenxi near the sideline.

At the same time, it also gives Mahrez and Andy a new word. Kim pounced back, and the rest of his teammates made up time opportunities.

Jiang Chenxi slowly advanced with the ball at his feet, he didn't make any other moves, and seemed to be guarded by Kante.

"Successful defense! It's Kante again! He entangled Jiang! Liverpool's attacking speed is slowed down! The Leicester radio commentator shouted, "Well done, Kante!" ”
