The new season is coming.
Chapter 322 Argentine Mahrez! The king of the outside of the foot!
Liverpool legend Carragher praised Mahrez’s performance this season when he was a guest on Sky Sports:
“What Mahrez did with his left foot this season, I have only seen Messi do it!”
Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated.
However, it is enough to see that Mahrez’s left foot has been widely recognized by his peers.
In the eyes of all Blue Fox fans, Messi?
It’s just Argentine Mahrez!
Indeed.
This season’s Mahrez is definitely the first right winger in the Premier League!
Whether it is the game score, personal performance or data, it ranks first in the same position!
His golden left foot is deadly whether it is stopping the ball, dribbling, passing or finishing!
And facing this great opportunity to take the ball and face the goalkeeper alone in the penalty area, he naturally would not miss it!
With a grim expression, he stopped and rubbed his left foot, and the ball drew a beautiful arc, flew past Weidenfeller’s fingertips, and went into the far corner of the goal!
The next second, the entire King Power Stadium was boiling!
“Goal~~Goal~~Goal~~~”
“The ball goes in!”
“Mahrez helps Leicester City take the lead at home!”
“The most impressive thing about this goal is, of course, Ling Feng’s penetrating outside-of-the-foot pass!”
“What Barcelona accomplished with many passes, Ling Feng accomplished with just one pass!”
“Mahrez lived up to Ling Feng’s pass and scored the goal!”
“What a tacit cooperation”
After scoring the goal, Mahrez ran to the corner flag area very coolly and slid down his knees.
After standing up, he turned around, pointed at Ling Feng who ran over to celebrate, and said with a smile:
“Your outside foot pass is too fascinating!”
“Hehe.”
In fact, after helping Leicester City win the League Cup at the end of February, the system rewarded him with a [Skill Treasure Box]
And the skill he opened was Quaresma’s [King of Outside Foot]
[Skill Name: King of Outside Foot]
[Skill Level: A]
[Skill Effect: The accuracy and success rate of passing and shooting with the outside of the dominant foot are greatly improved]
[Skill Representative Player: Quaresma]
This is why his outside foot pass can be so accurate and so cool!
Compared with the home team stands that turned into a blue ocean of joy, the Dortmund fans in the away team stands were silent.
Although they had heard about Leicester City’s attack.
However, they still found it unbelievable that the team was scored in less than fifteen minutes away from home.
However, Dortmund fans were soon relieved.
Because defense has never been their strong point.
Although in the league, the number of goals conceded is second only to Bayern.
But in the Europa League, even teams outside the top five leagues such as Thessaloniki and Krasnodar can score against them.
It is conceivable how worrying the team’s defense is.
What’s more, this pass was too sudden and too accurate.
It can’t be blamed on Bender for not doing his job well, and it can’t be blamed on the defender for not intercepting this pass.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Ling Feng’s pass, which is too elusive.
After losing the ball, Dortmund players finally experienced why Tuchel repeatedly emphasized that “Ling Feng is the biggest threat” and “Don’t let this number seven pass easily.”
Just this one pass directly through the entire defense line is enough to prove that this Premier League single-season assist king is not in vain!
. . .
After kicking off again, Dortmund did not hesitate to push the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt and handed it to Reus on the left.
Dortmund’s tactical play is the wolf pack tactic!
Quickly pass through the midfield, use the outstanding players in the frontcourt, and run through each other to play a smooth pass and cut cooperation.
As soon as Reus got the ball, Shinji Kagawa in the middle quickly came to respond, and then the two played a two-pass-one wall cooperation and easily passed the water brother.
Before Kante made up for the defense, Reus sent a straight pass directly at the front of the penalty area.
And Aubameyang, who was standing in front of Morgan in the last second, suddenly accelerated and got the ball with a diagonal insertion.
Like a hunter
The leopard-like speed also caught Morgan and Huth, the two central defenders, off guard.
This Gabonese supercar, who has frightened countless Bundesliga defenders, received the ball, turned around, and shot directly!
With a “bang”, the ball shot out!
Fortunately, the angle of this shot was too straight, and Schmeichel reacted quickly, and he lifted the ball directly over the crossbar with a one-handed tower.
Although there was no goal,
but this shot still made the home team fans in the stands behind the goal break into a cold sweat.
The central defender combination of Leicester City is a tall central defender with excellent frontal defensive ability.
Whether it is a long pass or a cross from the side, it can’t shake their defense at all.
But what they fear most is a speed striker like Aguero who can run and Aubameyang who has super explosive power!
After learning about Aubameyang’s amazing speed, Blue Fox captain Morgan also hurriedly reminded his teammates:
“Robert (Huth), don’t let him kick easily!”
“N’Golo (Kante), come back a little further.”
This wave of attack also made the Blue Fox soldiers cheer up.
Worthy of being a strong team in the Champions League!
Something!
For Dortmund, the goal lost shortly after the start was indeed an accident.
However, they did not care too much about the goal.
After all, this is Leicester City’s home court.
Moreover, the opponent is the most powerful offensive team in the Premier League, and losing the ball is expected.
Therefore, in the pre-match preparation stage, Tuchel repeatedly emphasized to his disciples not to be afraid of losing the ball and not dare to attack!
The Europa League knockout stage is a two-round game, and there is also an away goal competition rule.
In other words, if they can get one or two goals away from home, it will be extremely beneficial for their promotion situation.
Moreover, the magic weapon that enables this team to maintain its competitiveness in the Bundesliga and the Champions League is offensive football!
So, after this wave of attack, Tuchel applauded vigorously and waved his hand to signal the team to continue to press forward!
In the 23rd minute of the game, Dortmund played a wonderful match on the right, and Mkhitaryan sent a very low cross to find Aubameyang who was flanking in the middle.
“Meiyangyang” pushed the ball, but was slightly disturbed by Huth next to him, and the ball went out of the goal;
In the 27th minute of the game, after Reus on the left cut in horizontally, he completed a lob shot at the front of the left side of the penalty area, which was saved by Schmeichel’s flying dive;
In the 33rd minute of the game, Weigl sent a long pass over the top to Reus on the left.
The latter cut in with the ball, attracted the defense, and sent a cross pass to Shinji Kagawa in the middle.
Then a diagonal pass was passed to Mkhitaryan who was on the right, who made a powerful shot.
Unfortunately, the shot was too powerful, and it hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.
The direction of the game was not as the media and commentators had guessed before the game, with both sides attacking vigorously.
Instead, Dortmund quickly turned the tables after losing the ball, and used a swift attack to firmly suppress the half!
However, Leicester City, the best defensive counterattack team in the Premier League, could only be beaten.
Several counterattack opportunities were not made!
You know, this is something that even Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and other Premier League giants cannot do!
And watching his team on the field suppress the Premier League top team, Tuchel on the sidelines also relaxed his frown a little.
From the beginning of the game, he found that Bender could not restrict Ling Feng at all, and immediately understood a very cruel fact:
In this game, defense is absolutely impossible!
Because they really couldn’t stop Ling Feng’s speed!
As the star player and tactical core of the Blue Foxes, they couldn’t limit Ling Feng, which meant they couldn’t limit Leicester City’s counterattack!
However, Tuchel also thought of a solution that was not a solution.
Since Ling Feng couldn’t be restricted, then restrict his teammates!
So, he made a tactical arrangement. Once the ball was lost in the frontcourt, he would immediately counter-grab it on the spot.
Even if he couldn’t grab the ball, he had to slow down the opponent’s counterattack speed.
Especially prevent others from giving the ball to Ling Feng!
As long as Ling Feng didn’t get the ball, he would immediately commit a foul on the spot and interrupt the counterattack rhythm!
And this targeted arrangement just hit the Blue Fox’s weak spot!
You know, the Blue Fox’s ability to pass the ball in the midfield and backcourt can only be said to be average.
Morgan and Huth, the central defenders, basically have no ability to pass the ball.
Many times, whether it was a positional advance or a quick counterattack, it was the two fullbacks Fuchs and Simpson who took the ball.
Responsible for passing the ball to Kante or Drinker.
If both midfielders are closely watched, pass it directly to Ling Feng who is retreating.
Or find the winger directly.
However, under Dortmund’s frontcourt pressing tactics, it became very difficult for the Blue Fox to pass the ball.
Even if the backcourt players wanted to pass the ball to Ling Feng as soon as possible to instigate a counterattack, they would be interrupted by a direct foul.
After a few times, the Blue Fox’s backcourt players could only choose to pass the ball faster and pass it to Ling Feng before the opponent grabbed it.
Doing so requires certain footwork for the players, greatly increasing the chance of passing errors.
If a passing error occurs, the ball will return to Dortmund’s feet, allowing the Hornets to launch another round of offensive!
And under such a crazy and repeated attack without sparing physical effort, Dortmund finally received results!
In the 38th minute of the game, Mkhitaryan cut in from the right and shot, but was blocked in time by central defender Morgan.
The ball bounced out and came not far in front of Brother Drinking Water.
Brother Drinking Water stopped the ball and immediately looked up to observe.
Just when he wanted to find Ling Feng’s figure, he was a little slow, and Kagawa Shinji stretched his leg from behind and poked the ball to Weigl who came in from behind.
Offense and defense reversed again!
And this young German genius midfielder raised his hand and pointed forward.
Aubameyang understood, ran back and then moved forward, directly getting rid of Huth’s defense.
The next second, Weigl sent a straight pass directly to the ground, penetrated through the crowd, and found Aubameyang!
“Beautiful straight pass!”
Even though the central defender Morgan, who was lagging behind, raised his hand to indicate offside and stretched his legs forward to block.
But he couldn’t stop Aubameyang from shooting low and sending the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!
“The ball went in!”
“Dortmund equalized the score!”
After scoring the goal, Aubameyang rushed directly to the corner flag area and then made his signature celebration move – a front flip!
The Dortmund fans in the stands were finally able to wave their scarves and flags and cheer for the team’s goal!
With the equalizer, Dortmund played away.
And with Tuchel’s big hand on the sidelines, the Hornets of course chose to pursue the victory!
However, seeing that the team’s defense was tight, Ling Feng did not hesitate and immediately chose to retreat to the midfield area to help defend.
With his retreat, the Blue Fox had one more defender in the midfield and one more point to pass the ball.
The control over the midfield suddenly became stronger, and the entire defensive formation became more dense.
Seeing that the Blue Fox was like a hedgehog, stabbing itself from time to time, the Hornets, who had no way to bite, could only fly around the periphery, looking for the right time to launch an attack.
As both sides suddenly became cautious, time passed quietly.
The referee whistled and the first half of the game ended.
Both sides returned to the locker room with a score of 1:1.
For Dortmund, a score of 1:1 is a good result.
But for Leicester City, this score is unacceptable!
The first half of the game was like a roller coaster.
Although the start was smooth, with Ling Feng’s flash of inspiration and Mahrez’s wonderful cooperation, they were the first to knock on the opponent’s door.
However, the situation quickly took a sharp turn for the worse, and they were completely suppressed by Dortmund’s offensive and could not launch an effective counterattack.
This put the team at a disadvantage.
However, Ranieri did not think that the team had been completely suppressed by the opponent.
The high-intensity counter-grabbing in the frontcourt in the first half also made Dortmund’s frontcourt players pay a certain price.
In addition to the huge consumption of physical energy, Aubameyang and Shinji Kagawa also received yellow cards.
This yellow card will definitely make these two players afraid to press so fiercely in the second half.
As long as their pressure in the frontcourt is not so strong, they can pass the ball and launch a quick counterattack!
As the opponent adopts foul tactics to interrupt the counterattack, the counterattack advancement when switching from defense to offense becomes very important!
The team cannot rely solely on Ling Feng as the first advancement point for the counterattack, because the opponent has already marked him.
Therefore, a counterattack advancement point must be added.
As long as someone can break out under the pressure and pass the ball, the Blue Fox can rush up!
So, Ranieri’s pair of experienced eyes hidden under the lens patrolled the faces of his disciples and finally fell on a simple and honest dark face.
“N’Golo!”
Hearing his name, Kante immediately raised his head and met the head coach’s sight.
“Your task in the second half is very important! I need you to take the ball more in the midfield!”
Facing Ranieri’s
Kant did not hesitate to give the order, and smiled, showing his iconic two rows of pure white teeth:
“Okay, boss.”
