Chapter 29
Leicester City fans were anxious after Blackburn took the lead again
"We are going to lose this time. The team is totally powerless to fight back."
"They were firmly controlled by the opponent and could not organize an effective attack."
In the stands, Leicester City fans began to boo in dissatisfaction.
Many people stood up and raised their fists to express their anger at the team's performance.
"What are you doing? Why do our players keep losing the ball?!"
"It's useless! Our team is completely suppressed by the opponent!"
More fans joined in the booing and roaring, and the entire home stand was filled with resentment.
Pearson and the assistant coach in the coaching booth frowned.
They kept recording and discussing in their notebooks, trying to find a tactic to break the deadlock.
"We need to strengthen our attacking power, we need to score goals now!"
"We need to make substitutions immediately to strengthen our attacking power and give the forwards more support.!"
"The team is already behind, we can't continue defending like this"
"Our forwards need to be freed from passive defense so that we can create scoring opportunities."
"Arrange substitutions to strengthen the midfield control."
Pearson nodded in agreement. He circled a few names in the notebook and obviously had decided on the substitution plan.
"We saw that Leicester City coach Pearson made a substitution adjustment. He decided to strengthen the team's offensive strength."
"It seems that Leicester City did not want to lose this game, and head coach Pearson used up two substitutions in one go."
"Now in the 70th minute, Leicester City player Beckford was substituted off the field and Harvey Barnes on the bench will replace him."
"Harvey Barnes is a center forward, which means Leicester City will play with two center forwards, hoping to create more scoring opportunities by increasing the number of people in the penalty area.
"Barnes has not been in good form this season, but as a center forward he will put great pressure on the opposing center backs."
"Let's wait and see if he can bring goals to the team.!"
"In addition, Leicester City is preparing to make a second substitution. Right back Conor Clifford also left the field and Kyle Draves will replace him."
"Clifford's wing was completely broken in today's game. Blackburn scored two key goals from here."
"It seems that Pearson is determined to attack with all his strength, and he clearly demonstrated this tactical intention by making substitutions."
"Will this be the key to Leicester City's reversal? Let's continue to observe what changes will happen on the court."
Commentator John is still explaining in detail how Leicester City responded to this reversal.
After Leicester City made two substitutions, the game started again.
Newcomer Harvey Barnes immediately became active in the frontcourt. He searched for the ball and ran many times, cooperating with another striker Vardy.
The joint participation of the two forwards brought huge pressure to the opponent's defense, which also relieved Li Lei, who was single in attack.
The players of Leicester City were also like chicken blood, all communicating loudly and actively supporting.
They organized a beautiful cooperation in the midfield.
Wilfred Niemeyer made a cross from the right, and Harvey Barnes made a cross from the right. Vi Barnes made a quick shot in front of the penalty area, but the ball hit the opponent's defender!
As the game entered the final moments, Leicester City's players seemed to be reborn, and their condition quickly improved.
They were no longer suppressed by Blackburn, but began to control the situation on the court.
The midfielders frequently made accurate long passes and tried more to open the situation from the middle.
Vardy and Harvey Barnes cooperated well in the frontcourt, continuously creating chaos for the opponent's defense.
Li Lei on the right also joined the attack. His crosses were very accurate and he found his teammates in the penalty area many times.
Blackburn's defense was forced to retreat to their own half and cleared the ball repeatedly.
"Come on! Get everyone involved in the frontcourt! We want to score a goal!" Captain Morgan shouted in command on the field, encouraging everyone.
Seeing that the team was no longer hiding in their own half, the fans of Leicester City were also encouraged by the recovery of their team's state.
In the 85th minute of the game, Leicester City still couldn't open the situation from the middle.
However, it still attracted the attention of Blackburn players, causing them to relax their defense on the left, which brought opportunities to Li Lei.
Li Lei keenly discovered that there was a gap in the opponent's defense against him. He began to cut in frequently to get the ball and formed cooperation with Barnes who retreated.
"Brother, here." When Li Lei sees an opportunity, he will raise his hand to ask for the ball.
During an attack, Li Lei made a feint from the right and attracted the attention of two defenders.
At this moment, he suddenly passed the ball to Barnes who was in the middle. After receiving the ball, Barnes immediately shot hard and the ball flew quickly to the inside corner of the goal.
The Blackburn goalkeeper could not save the ball in time and could only watch the ball go into the net.!
"gogogogogo!"
"It was wonderful! Li Lei's perfect assist helped Barnes equalize the score!"
"Look at that precise breakthrough and that skillful fake move! Li Lei's personal skills are so outstanding that he completely dribbled past two Blackburn defenders.!"
"Then the fatal two-pass kept passing and found Barnes accurately! My God, this pass was so beautiful!"
"Barnes also made full use of his header ability, he headed the ball into the net like a missile! The goalkeeper was completely helpless!"
"2 to 2! The score is back to square one again! This wonderful coordinated attack undoubtedly brought the two sides into a stalemate.!"
"Now there are only a few minutes left until the end of the game! Can the two sides decide the winner again? Let's wait and see this final fierce competition!"
As the game came to an end, both sides were desperately fighting for the final victory.
However, no one could rewrite the score again.
The referee added 3 minutes of extra time, which became the last chance for both sides.
Leicester City organized a dangerous counterattack. Li Lei made a quick breakthrough on the right and sent the winning goal, but was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.
Blackburn also launched a counterattack in extra time, but the shot missed the goal.
Then the referee blew a loud whistle, marking the official end of the duel!
In the end, Leicester City and Blackburn tied 2:2.
After the game, warm applause and cheers rang out in the stadium.
Fans from both sides stood up and applauded the players for their wonderful performance.
"It's so exciting! Both sides are very strong and the competition is very fierce."
"Our team's counterattack at the last moment was wonderful! Li Lei's assist was perfect"
"2-2 is not bad, the difference in strength between the two teams is still huge, and this score is already pretty good."
The scouts who came for the Leicester City twins also showed satisfied smiles.
"Li Lei and Vardy were outstanding. They didn’t play for long but they assisted the winning goal. Their ability is unquestionable."
