Chapter 37

Leicester City's goal was undoubtedly a blow to the optimistic Wolves fans.

They looked at the other team's players and fans celebrating in astonishment, and they were unable to react for a while.

Soon, anger and dissatisfaction swept through the Wolves fans' seats.

"What the hell is going on! Who let him run away? What is the defense for?!"

"What the hell is this! We clearly had the situation under control! The reversal happened too quickly!"

"Damn! This guy is so lucky.!"

"This score is too ugly! Seeing him so cocky makes me so angry!"

"It's still early, brother, we can definitely catch up!"

The entire Wolves fans' stand was filled with a low pressure, and chaotic voices were heard everywhere.

The goal disrupted their confidence and expectations, and also aroused various dissatisfactions with the players and the opposing fans.

When the ball entered the net, warm cheers rang out from the Leicester City coaching bench!

Head coach Pearson was the first to jump up and raise his hands to celebrate. He happily hugged the assistant coaches around him.

""It's so beautiful!" Pearson shouted loudly, and other coaches followed suit, giving thumbs up and shouting"Perfect!"

The players sitting on the bench happily ran to the sidelines and raised their hands. They jumped excitedly and clapped each other to celebrate.

All the Leicester City coaching staff and the bench were immersed in the long-lost joy of scoring a goal.

"Come on! Keep it up!" Pearson clapped his hands and loudly encouraged the players on the field.

At the moment the ball entered the net, Vardy excitedly ran to the fans and waved to celebrate.

But at this moment, he pointed his hands at Li Lei on the field, indicating to the audience that half of the credit for the goal belonged to the other party, and sharing the joy of the goal with the other party was a detail that reflected the team spirit.

Vardy did not monopolize the honor because of the goal, but the passer should also share the joy of victory.

At the same time, this action also showed the friendship between the players in private.

Just a few days ago, Li Lei also encouraged Vardy when he was in poor condition. Now Vardy's gesture is undoubtedly the best reward for his friend's support.

When he saw Vardy's gesture, Li Lei immediately understood his friend's good intentions.

Before that, he stood in the corner kick area and watched the wonderful moment of diving and heading the goal.

After scoring, he excitedly ran forward and jumped shoulder to shoulder with Vardy to celebrate.

The two hugged each other tightly, laughing and bumping shoulders to celebrate.

"Brother, what did I say? Believe me, the goal will come!"Li Lei said happily

"Lee, thank you for your wonderful pass!" Vardy said gratefully.

Then the two of them laughed and began to enjoy the cheers of the Leicester City fans.

This sudden goal loss undoubtedly disrupted the rhythm of the Wolves. They had been advancing smoothly before and had never expected that the opponent could attack and score.

In addition, the main striker Jimenez was injured and left the field. Now the Wolves players are obviously in a passive position.

They no longer actively organize the attack, but retreat to their own half to defend.

Every Wolves player on the field was carefully protecting their own half, for fear of losing the ball again.

They dared not get too far forward and could only wait and see, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake.

Throughout the rest of the first half, the Wolves were in an extremely passive state.

The goal disrupted their self-confidence and made them dare not try to attack easily.

This is in sharp contrast to the first 30 minutes, and the dominant situation at the beginning has disappeared.

Now the Wolves can only hope for the opponent's mistakes. Fortunately, the situation was reversed in the second half.

"The whistle blew and the first half ended! Leicester City took advantage of the right-wing attack and led the opponent 1-0 into the halftime break."

"After a short break, let's watch the exciting game in the second half."

Li Lei and his teammates walked towards the locker room in a good mood, and received warm congratulations from their teammates along the way.

Even the captain Morgan came up to praise their outstanding performance.

In response to the captain's praise, Li Lei playfully joked:"Thanks to the captain who killed the boss of the opposing forward line first, we have the opportunity to perform.!"

""Hahaha!"

These words drew laughter from the teammates, and from this point it can be seen that everyone's mentality has lost the tension before the game.

The Leicester City players entered the locker room with laughter, still recalling the wonderful goal in the first half.

Suddenly, the head coach Pearson strode in, and everyone suddenly quieted down and waited attentively for the coach's instructions.

"Boys, you played well in the first half!" Pearson said with satisfaction,"But you must not underestimate the enemy in the second half and stay focused.!"

"The defense must not slack off and continue to fight for every ball. The offense must also remain active and not be complacent just because of a one-goal lead.!"

"Keep giving me high morale! We must fight to the last minute and strive to get all three points!" Upon hearing this, the players all regained their focus and followed Pearson in shouting"Come on together!"

During the halftime break, Li Lei was panting heavily in the locker room, and the sweat on his forehead never stopped.

Although he did not have many shooting opportunities in the first half, the frequent running and dribbling had consumed a lot of physical strength.

Judging from Li Lei's performance at this time, physical fitness and endurance are obviously his shortcomings that need to be improved.

The high-intensity league has extremely high physical requirements, which is a difficult challenge for the inexperienced Li Lei.

If you want to stand out in the high-level league, it is essential to improve endurance and resistance.

The 15-minute break in the middle of the game passed in the blink of an eye, and with the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.

The players from both sides lined up from the locker room and stepped onto the court, and their determination and fighting spirit were rekindled.

Although Li Lei and his teammates have recovered some physical strength, they also understand that they need to work harder. , in order to maintain the leading situation.

In contrast, the Wolves players who were lagging behind had a more vigorous pace. They were eager to attack and would obviously fight back in the second half.

At the beginning of the second half, the Wolves made tactical adjustments.

They abandoned the previous 4231 formation and changed to the more offensive 442.

This was undoubtedly to gain more possession and shooting opportunities.

Sure enough, the Wolves controlled the rhythm of the game at the beginning and frequently passed the ball to oppress.

In contrast, Leicester City became more passive at this time. Most of them actively returned to defense and it was difficult to organize an effective counterattack.

The Wolves were obviously determined to catch up to the score, and even intended to overtake the score.

Their offense was organized by the midfield and they were not in a hurry to attack. They used short passes to penetrate.

At this stage of the game, the Wolves' possession rate increased significantly and began to frequently approach the opponent's penalty area.

Leicester City's defense was obviously in a hurry because of this sudden change, and they could only clear the siege in a panic.

"Don't panic, keep the ball at your feet, and don't lose it easily." Morgan, the captain and the center of defense, took the initiative to step forward and began to direct his teammates to defend intensively.
