Chapter 236 Five clean sheets, is this a championship appearance?

Until the moment the car door closed, Pixie's face could no longer hold back and she suddenly snickered.

"Omar, how did I behave today?"

"Extraordinary performance, completely shocked the opponent!"

After receiving the compliment, Pixie laughed and said: "Who told them to use such a dirty trick to deal with Luo? I just can't stand it. This time they have to go bankrupt."

Omar said: "Pixie, don't underestimate them. I can tell you for sure that William Hill will not go bankrupt because of your order. It will lose at most 10 million pounds."

"Why?" Pixie was puzzled and said, "Do they want to default on their debt?"

"It's a risk hedging."

Omar explained: "No matter how small the chance is, they will not take such a large bet at once, just to avoid the extremely small probability event that is happening now. They will definitely take your money and go to other bookmakers.

Buy Leicester City from them to win the championship and reduce risks."

Pixie was a little unwilling and said: "Even if they don't die, they will lose their skin. Since they won't pay all the compensation, then I feel more at ease."

Horrible, so terrible!

Pixie's evil smile made Omar's eyes hallucinate.

He seemed to see a demon with a pair of sharp horns and wings, holding a three-pronged fork.

On Sunday afternoon, Leicester City visited the Stadium of Light to challenge Sunderland, who were ranked third from bottom.

In Saturday afternoon's game, West Ham United drew with Arsenal at home, giving Leicester City another chance to open up the score.

Although it was at home, the whole Sunderland team knew very well that they could not stop Leicester City and hoped to get a key point in the relegation battle through a draw.

Sunderland head coach Sam Allardyce deployed a 4-1-4-1 formation, forming an encirclement on both sides to limit the movement of Leicester City's two wide players.

At the same time, it can also suppress the opponent's offense and block it on the wing, taking advantage of the numerical advantage to compete for the ball.

Ten minutes before the start of the game, Leicester City's two-wing attack was blocked. Whether it was Mahrez or Albrighton, once they got the ball, they were surrounded by their opponents.

No matter which side you are on, you will be at a numerical disadvantage, making it difficult to form a threatening attack.

Facing intensive defense, Ranieri, who came from the Italian defensive system, is the most aware of the problems that may arise in the defense line.

Allardyce is completely playing tricks on Guan Gong.

Leicester City immediately made adjustments. The two full-backs moved up and formed a parallel position with the two midfielders, further pressuring Sunderland's defense.

Vardy goes up front and presses the centre-back.

Rossi circled behind him, ready to attack at any time.

Since Leicester City press their formation very high, the central defender can easily get the ball and advance forward into the midfield.

The central defender passed the ball to Mahrez on the wing, and was instantly double-teamed by Sunderland.

Mahrez didn't stick to the ball. He moved back to the defensive midfielder Kante and inserted into the middle.

At the same time, Albright on the other side also moved towards the center.

In this way, Leicester City is allowed to play in the middle, forming a situation of using more to defeat less.

Taking advantage of the opponent's unstable formation, Kanter passed the ball forward and found Vardy who was retreating to meet him.

If someone on the front line drops back to catch the ball, then someone is responsible for pushing forward.

When Rossi started, Vardy had already passed the ball back to Drinkwater, who then passed the ball forward.

A simple three-legged pass instantly tore through Sunderland's dense defense.

Rossi received the ball and scored a goal. Facing the defender's marking, he first used his heel to complete the change, then followed up with his left foot and shot lightly.

The ball drew an arc in the air, just passed the goalkeeper's fingers, and fell into the net.

【GOAL!!!!!】

[After a month of silence, Rossi broke the goal drought and helped the team take the lead.]

[In the penalty area, he is always so casual and effortless. His shots are always so light, graceful and beautiful.]

[I really don’t know how to describe his performance this season.]

[The best player in the Premier League?]

In just fifteen minutes, Leicester City scored, completely disrupting the opponent's original tactical plan.

This also made Allardyce realize that his opponent cannot be defended.

At home, we must play offensive football and replace defense with offense.

Without the advantage of fighting for the top, Sunderland hopes to use the passing advantage of the midfielder to deliver cannonballs to Defoe on the striker.

But Defoe, who is past his prime, has completely lost his advantage in speed.

The breakthrough he relied on failed to help the team's offense. He could only serve as a second forward, lurking behind center Borini, waiting for opportunities to attack at two points.

However, Kante's wide coverage defense prevented Sunderland's pass from penetrating forward and could only shoot from the outside.

In the first half, Sunderland had a total of 5 shots, but none of them hit the goal.

In the second half, Allardyce made adjustments. High forward Ndoye came on and replaced Borini, who had a mediocre performance.

Sunderland, who is obsessed with grabbing points in front of the goal, has a relatively fixed position in the frontcourt, and the vitality of the offense relies entirely on crosses from the two wingers.

This allows Leicester City to defend very easily.

With a single attack and a loose front line, Sunderland's offense did nothing, and the home fans booed.

In the 66th minute, Kanter stole the ball in the backcourt and passed the ball to Rossi who moved to the wing.

Rossi raised his right foot and wanted to return the ball, but at the moment of passing the ball, the kick missed.

Mistake?

The Sunderland players, who were chasing after him, thought Rossi made a mistake when passing back the ball.

But he soon discovered that this was not true.

The ball passed through his defense zone and landed at Mahrez's feet.

After Rossi kicked the ball in the air, he quickly turned around and got rid of the defense.

Mahrez was also being marked and passed the ball to Rossi who was advancing.

The two completed a wonderful one-two.

Bang!

Rossi didn't stop the ball and hit the space in front of Mahrez directly.

It's just plain smooth sailing.

Mahrez, who was dribbling the ball at high speed from the wing, observed Vardy advancing in the middle, passed the ball with one foot to the ground, and sent it to his teammates with great accuracy.

Bang!

The moment Vardy shot from the front of the penalty area, Ranieri had already raised his hands and was waiting for the ball to hit the net. He stood up and shouted.

Vardy's push shot hit the lower left corner of the goal.

Although the goalkeeper made a diving action, he still could not stop the ball from flying into the net.

[The ball went in, thanks to the cooperation of Leicester City’s front three.]

[A wonderful counterattack, Leicester City’s signature counterattack.]

[Organized by Rossi, assisted by Mahrez, and scored by Vardy.]

[2:0, Leicester City almost secured victory in this game.]

【They will once again expand their lead.】

[What’s next, I can’t even imagine, but I have to say it.]

[Leicester City, which has won five consecutive games, is heading towards the championship step by step.]

Sunderland, trailing by two goals, had no fighting spirit. In stoppage time, Vardy once again penetrated the goal with a single shot.

The moment the referee Anthony Taylor blew the whistle to end the game, Ranieri, who had always been calm and composed, was extremely excited and had tears in his eyes when he returned to the dressing room.

As a famous coach, he knew very well how important this victory was.

3:0, five consecutive wins, five clean sheets, 7 points ahead of second place Arsenal.

Leicester City is moving forward in a way that is closest to the championship.
Chapter completed!
