Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Tank Is Not Working

"Li Qingshan is outstanding!! Direct Shot!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!”

"One-to-one!! Manchester United equalised!! ”

"Li Qingshan scored after a successful pass on the side!! It's really rare for such a scene to happen to him!! ”

Although Fuchs tried to stop Li Qingshan's pass, when Li Qingshan suddenly started and occupied the absolute positional advantage, no matter how hard Fuchs tried, there was no way to stop Li Qingshan from entering the penalty area!! In the case of a small angle, Li Qingshan completed a quick and awkward shot, and Little Sumeichel had no choice at all. ”

There was a brief silence at the King Power Stadium after the goal, and behind the goal, Leicester City die-hard fans shouted curses at Li Qingshan, who was celebrating in their box.

However, they could only take advantage of the verbal advantage, and in the penalty area, Li Qingshan, who raised his arms, was quickly overwhelmed by Manchester United's players.

At this time, he was really like a mountain, and his teammates rushed to him as if they were hanging on him.

Fuchs made a last-ditch effort when Li Qingshan was shooting, and he slid past to try to block Li Qingshan's shot.

But he didn't get in the way.

Fuchs, who fell to the ground, slapped the turf hard. The experience of being passed by a striker is something that almost every striker will have, but there are fewer defenders who have been passed by Li Qingshan.

What makes Fuchs even more unwilling is that Li Qingshan's way of passing people doesn't seem to be a big luck..........

Li Qingshan's explosiveness frightened Fuchs, Li Qingshan's dribbling and passing skills still seemed very rough, just now Li Qingshan used his explosive power to quickly seize the position, with a strong body, no matter how hard Fuchs tried, it was difficult to snatch the ball back.

"I really didn't expect that Li Qingshan still has such a hand, his body has such a fast starting speed, and he has completed the pass with explosive power, I think the defenders will need to guard against him in the future, and Manchester United's opponents will have more headaches."

"He's improved again, it's hard to imagine that when we first saw him on the field, Li Qingshan was just a center forward who could only head the ball. Now he's getting closer to a modern centre-forward. His passing just now even reminded me of Rooney when I was younger. In the past, Rooney was called a small tank, so Li Qingshan is a heavy tank! Gary Neville has always praised Li Qingshan.

In the midst of the celebratory crowd, there was one person whose gaze was quite complicated indeed.

Rooney cruised to the middle lane after Li Qingshan pulled to the side, and he witnessed the whole process of Li Qingshan's passing.

Start from him, accelerate, grab the position.

This series of actions made Rooney feel familiar. The once young Rooney could also do this, with his strong body and explosive power, crushing defenders with muscle power.

Rooney briefly reminisced about his glory days and put them behind him. He also cheered and ran towards the excited crowd.

Now, it's more important to celebrate a goal, isn't it?

……….

Ranieri is still unfazed, and the equaliser by Manchester United does not make any change in his expression.

Claudio Ranieri is a quintessential Italian coach who believes in the credo of making fewer mistakes and catching the mistakes of his opponents, and his team is based on defense and scrambling.

The Italian coach has coached Roma, Juventus, Chelsea, Inter Milan and other giants, and has a rich coaching resume.

However, Ranieri has been criticized for his conservative autumn style. In charge of Chelsea, his conservatism brought points to the team, but it did not earn him the affection of the Stamford Bridge fans. In the Premier League, which advocates an open-minded style of play, this Italian coach with tradition in his head has never been recognized. Even after returning to Italy, he found that the Italian fans were no longer satisfied with the team putting too much effort into defending, and people wanted the team to win as much as they wanted them to play well. During the time at the helm of Juventus, even the small and medium-sized teams in Serie A no longer used traditional defensive counter-attacking tactics, and only Ranieri still persisted.

He was the last adherent of the traditional Italian football philosophy.

Leicester fans don't care about his conservatism, though.

Leicester City have played in the Championship and even League One, and have struggled to survive in the Premier League since their promotion to the Premier League in the 2013-2014 season. In the 2014/15 season, Leicester City were once considered relegated, and they finished bottom of the Premier League for 140 days. But Nigel Pearson led Leicester City to seven wins in their final nine games to complete the triumphant escape.

With such a team that has been struggling on the relegation line and now being taken to second place in the Premier League table by Ranieri after more than a dozen rounds, what are Leicester fans not satisfied with?

……….

Leicester City, who were equalised, continued their defence.

For Leicester, they are waiting, waiting for a chance to fight back.

They did get a couple of counter-attacking chances, but Leicester's sporadic counter-attacks failed to threaten United's goal, instead their own goal.

Li Qingshan still tried to pass a few times, but when the Leicester City players were prepared, he found that his trick was not very bright.

In the final analysis, he is still not very good at his feet, and he has explosive power, but in the absence of space, it is not easy to succeed one-on-one.

After several failed attempts, Li Qingshan decisively gave up the idea of going it alone, and the game returned to the rhythm of Manchester United's continued siege of Leicester City.

Leicester's sturdy defence couldn't make it to the end of the game, and in the 79th minute, United went beyond the score with a corner.

Rooney's corner kick was kicked out, Li Qingshan at the back point jumped high, and just when everyone thought he was going to head the goal, he gently moved a little down the middle, giving the assist central defender Smalling a chance to head the goal.

Chris Smalling didn't waste the chance and headed the ball into the back of the net.

2-1, Manchester United overtook the score!

After falling behind, Leicester City wanted to continue to defend no longer realistic, Ranieri replaced Argentine striker Ulloa and replaced Drinkwater, ready to attack in the final stage and gamble.

However, Leicester City will not attack, and once they are ready to press the attack, United will have more chances.

In the 83rd minute, Manchester United also played a quick counterattack, Carrick played a long pass directly behind the Leicester City defence, Di Maria shook off the Leicester City defenders with his speed, and calmly picked up the shot in the face of goalkeeper Schmeichel.

Three to one!!

Manchester United killed the game.
