Chapter 134
"Hey, we should go." Drinkwater pushed Vardy, who came back to his senses, smiled and walked towards his position.
"What are you thinking about? Drinkwater asked curiously.
"I was thinking I would play a good game today, trying my best." Vardy smiled.
"Haha, stop kidding, didn't you try your best in that game?"Several teammates who heard Vardy's voice looked at him and smiled.
Chen Huan certainly didn't know the series of thoughts that Vardy had when he looked at his back. He walked to his position while adjusting his socks and waited for the referee to start the game.
"beep——"
The referee raised his hand and blew the whistle, and the game officially began.
The two teams' positions immediately dispersed. Now Leicester City was holding the ball and attacking. Chen Huan observed the situation on the field while trotting to find a suitable defensive position.
Leicester City was not weak, and Manchester United did not dare to relax their guard.
The football was constantly passed under the feet of Leicester City players. Then Leicester City's No. 10 Andy King held the ball behind the center circle and suddenly passed it to Ulloa who was on the Manchester United defense line.
Ulloa and Rojo jumped at the same time, but Ulloa jumped high with the advantage of his position in the previous off-ball running, and pointed the ball to his own side, just in front of Vardy. Chen Huan immediately started to rush towards Vardy, who also noticed Chen Huan rushing over like a gust of wind, and did not dare to neglect and immediately started with the ball, trying to use his speed to force Chen Huan away.
Vardy was closer to the football, he took the lead in touching the ball, took a step forward, and rushed along the side road at high speed towards the bottom line of Manchester United.
Chen Huan followed closely beside him, and pointed at Luke Shaw, who understood what Chen Huan meant and immediately retreated to the flank.
Vardy saw that Chen Huan was about to catch up, and the flank where he wanted to cut inwards was already blocked by Luke Shaw. He could only choose one of the three options after stopping the ball: get rid of Chen Huan one-on-one, pass back, or cross directly.
Vardy was not confident in his ability to get rid of Chen Huan, so he finally chose to take another step and then cross with his right foot.
"boom——"
The football flew up with a muffled sound, but the next moment, a red figure rushed over. Chen Huan kicked the ball out of the baseline before it was about to take off. Then he couldn't stop and collided with Vardy. Both of them fell on the grass.
"Are you okay?" Chen Huan got up first, because there was no possibility of foul in this ball. Vardy did not hesitate and stood up while shaking his head.
"You are really fast."Vardy said after he stood up.
"You are not slow either." Chen Huan said as he ran to his position.
The game continued, Leicester City took a corner kick from the wing, the ball went into the penalty area, and Manchester United defender Rojo jumped up to clear it out of the penalty area.
Rooney controlled the first landing point outside the penalty area, he passed the ball to Chen Huan who was waiting in front, the latter got rid of Drinkwater's defense on the spot and passed the ball to Di Maria. The
Argentine star tried to shoot the ball into the dead corner of the goal with his left foot in front of the penalty area line, but Schwarzer, who had predicted in advance, made a diving save and confiscated the ball.
……
"It can be seen that although Leicester City wanted to focus on defense in this game, their counterattack speed was very fast, especially Vardy was very active today. I don’t know if he heard the praise from our coach Zhang before the game, so he worked extra hard today."Xiao Zhan said with a smile on the Longguo Sports Channel.
Coach Zhang also laughed twice, and then said:"Both teams played well in this game.
Although Manchester United controlled the initiative of the offense on the field, you can see that Manchester United has only had two chances to shoot on target so far.
One was Di Maria's shot from the penalty area line, and the other was Chen Huan's long shot from the ribs after receiving a teammate's inverted triangle.
These two shots on target were all long shots, which shows how good Leicester City's defense is.
"
"In this situation, Leicester City even had a chance to shoot on target, which was a header by their top scorer Ulloa in the penalty area. So I said that this game might end up with a score that no one expected."
……
In the 30th minute of the game, the simple and straightforward song"Chen's Song" suddenly rang out in the Old Trafford stadium."
""Chen, stay!" At the end of the lyrics, the fans shouted in unison.
At the same time, Chen Huan on the field was receiving a pass from Di Maria.
Facing the defensive players of Leicester City, he relied on his speed advantage to force the opponent to eat him alive on the wing.
The whole audience immediately cheered and sent a cross.
The two high points of Manchester United in the penalty area jumped up together.
Falcao headed the ball at the back point, but he used too much force to shake his head and failed to head the ball.
The football slipped out of the goal.
The whole audience immediately sighed again, and the fans who stood up to celebrate sat back down.
