Chapter 234 Peace Talks

Morgan's powerful header not only fulfilled his pre-match rhetoric, but also greatly boosted the team's morale.

After the goal, Morgan shook off his teammates who were rushing towards him, rushed to the sideline, made a sideways tackle, then sat on the turf and raised his arms.

Teammates gathered around him, and nothing makes people more passionate than the captain scoring a goal.

The King Power Stadium suddenly turned into a blue ocean, and the cheering fans were as majestic as the rolling waves.

This is Morgan's second goal this season, and it is also his most exciting goal so far.

After Koeman lost the ball, he roared and angrily criticized the defense that was full of loopholes.

Not only does it give the opponent time to pass the ball calmly from the wing, but it also allows the opponent's defender to easily advance into the penalty area and attack.

Such a line of defense is simply disastrous.

The game starts again.

The morale of the Leicester City players was high. In the next fifteen minutes, they did not give their opponents many chances and soon entered the halftime break.

At the beginning of the second half, Koeman replaced Taggart with Tadic and continued to strengthen the wing breakthrough.

But Leicester City, which had taken the lead, did not relax at all in defense.

Ranieri knows very well that even if there is a chance to counterattack, Koeman's team will defend in place as soon as possible.

However, such active defense cannot last long, especially in the last fifteen minutes, Southampton's offense will definitely lose its edge.

In this game, Mane lurked behind the high center, waiting for opportunities to attack.

However, Pellet's support at the front point was interfered by the defense and could not provide him with much support.

Many times, we have to rely on Mane to retreat to get the ball, force a pass, and create a dangerous situation in front of the goal.

However, Kanter's super running ability can always appear beside him like a shadow and interfere with his offense.

Under Leicester City's tenacious defense, Southampton had very few offensive opportunities. Either the cross was cleared or the shot was interfered with. There was only one pitiful attack that actually hit the goal.

Leicester City scored with one shot on target.

As the game progressed, Southampton's physical fitness showed an overall decline and the offensive rhythm began to slow down.

Leicester City also started pressing and counterattacking, which they are best at.

In the 68th minute, Kanter passed Wanyama's defense in the middle, and Southampton's defense suddenly became tense.

After Rossi received the ball, he sent a through ball directly to the space behind the left back and passed it to Mahrez who was advancing forward.

Near the bottom line of the penalty area, Mahrez continued to fake moves, opened up a little passing space, and swept the ball to the goal, where it was cleared by Van Dijk who was in front.

When a corner kick was taken, the two central defenders of Morgan Huth squeezed into the penalty area at the same time, attracting the defense and giving Vardy a chance to header from behind.

Unfortunately, he pushed too hard and was punched out of the penalty area by the goalkeeper.

Outside the penalty area, the two teams were competing for the second penalty kick. Drinkwater, who was not good at heading the ball, once again headed the ball into the penalty area. Unfortunately, it landed too deep and was easily caught by the goalkeeper.

The continuous attacks made Koeman furious off the court.

In order to build a defensive system, the team spent nearly 15 million pounds to buy Van Dijk in the summer, but was overwhelmed by Leicester City who had no height advantage.

He kept yelling at the court and directing the defense until his throat went dry, then he picked up water from the ground and drank it.

But as soon as he took a sip, Leicester City's offense advanced rapidly. He was so shocked that he immediately threw away the water bottle and directed the defense.

"Watch, watch your eyes."

"Quickly retreat, watch out for your opponent's advance."

"Why don't you run away and chase me. If you can't catch up, it will cause interference."

Leicester City's offense advanced rapidly. Albrighton hit the center, and Rossi passed the ball directly into the penalty area without stopping.

While Vardy and Van Dijk were chasing the ball, they both pulled their hands, interfered with each other, and both fell in the penalty area.

The referee did not call any foul and the ball was confiscated by the Southampton goalkeeper.

Seeing that the players' physical fitness was declining, in the 75th minute, Koeman used up the remaining two substitutions at once in a last-ditch effort.

Ranieri, who had plenty of substitutions, only replaced Albrighton with Gray.

As the physical fitness of Leicester City players also declined, Pellet began to gradually gain an advantage in the penalty area.

The height difference makes Morgan expend more energy when defending Pellet.

Ranieri asked Huth to mark Pellet, while Morgan helped defend.

Southampton's attack continued, but as time passed, the impact of speed began to decrease.

Leicester City, as the defender, also made substitutions in the 80th minute.

Andy King replaced Mahrez and Ulloa replaced Vardy.

In this game, Leicester City focused on defense. Vardy did not have many shooting opportunities and only had one shot.

Rossi is also invisible most of the time on the court.

But he still sent 3 threatening passes, the highest number in the game.

Both of them made sacrifices for the team's defense.

The score of 1:0 was maintained until the end of the game. Leicester City held on to a key game and continued to maintain a favorable situation of leading the second place by 5 points.

Just after the game ended, at a private club in London, William Hill CEO Bob Reeves silently turned off the live broadcast of the game on his mobile phone.

Leicester City wins again!

This is definitely a nightmare for him and the company.

Perhaps others don't know how high Leicester City's chances of winning the championship are after winning this victory.

But a gaming company that maintains a group of actuaries must know very well.

“What about the buyout plan?”

Bob pressed his forehead with his hand, looking very painful.

Henderson said cautiously: "We have bought out all the bets of those 25 people."

After Bob heard this, his heart felt cramped.

The buyout odds alone cost the company millions of pounds, and the biggest deal is still in Pixie's hands.

He is now appearing in this private club, offering peace talks with the "creditor".

After waiting for about half an hour, the private room door slowly opened, and Pixie walked in expressionlessly, followed by Omar and assistant Sadie.

"Miss Lott, it's a great honor to meet you." Bob greeted warmly, but Pixie looked at her coldly.

A wry smile could not resolve the awkwardness of the situation, so Bob could only bite the bullet and ask Pixie to sit down.

"I know Miss Lott has a lot of celebrities. The environment here is nice and the dishes are exquisite. You can order whatever you want."

Pixie said calmly: "No need."

"Then let's have something to drink. The coffee here is not bad."

Assistant Sati wisely took out a thermos cup from her bag, unscrewed the lid, turned it upside down, and poured warm water out of it.

"No need to worry, I'll bring the water myself."

It is unheard of and unheard of for celebrities to bring their own water to and from high-end private clubs.

And the lid of this kettle can actually be used as a cup?

Having a hot face against a cold butt made Bob feel very unhappy.

But he is facing a creditor of 250 million pounds, and no matter how uncomfortable it is, he still has to pay with a smile on his face.

"Then I won't go around in circles. I asked Miss Lott to meet today because of the lottery."

"First of all, I would like to thank Miss Lott for trusting and supporting our company and entrusting us with 50,000 pounds of chips for temporary safekeeping. But the problem now is that although Leicester City is temporarily ranked first and seems to be the favorite to win the Premier League,

After the restructuring, there is no precedent for a team that has just been promoted to the Premier League to win the championship in the second year."

"This risk is very high, especially in the final stage. Even wealthy families can easily collapse."

"Take Liverpool two years ago as an example. They had always been at the top of the list and thought they would win the championship. However, they lost a game and collapsed, losing the championship that originally belonged to them. What a pity."

Seeing that Pixie remained indifferent, blowing on the hot water and tasting it slowly, Bob continued to talk patiently.

"Miss Lott, you are a big star, so you should know how to avoid risks. Our company does not want you to lose the fifty thousand pounds in vain, so we propose a plan to return the principal to you in advance without any loss.

a friend."

After hearing this, Pixie frowned slightly and put the cup on the table with a dull sound.

"Return the principal, haha, that sounds good, so I won't lose fifty thousand pounds in vain, and I have to thank you for your kindness."

Of course, Bob heard the dissatisfaction in Pixie's words and said: "Of course, in order to express our sincerity, we will pay an extra sum of money at an interest rate higher than that of all banks in the world. Just treat this fifty thousand pounds as yours."

It exists here with us.”

"There is still interest, which is great!"

Pixie said coldly: "I wonder if Mr. Bob said the same thing to those 25 Leicester City fans?"

When Bob heard this, he immediately realized something was wrong. He was sure that Pixie must know something.

It seems that tonight's peace talks will not end so smoothly.
