Chapter Seven Hundred and Eighty First, Not What It Used to Be

When Manchester United and Leicester City played against each other for the last time last season, Kintag met Ranieri. At that time, Kintag was the new star coach of Manchester United, and Ranieri was the legendary coach who led Leicester City to create miracles. The two talked and laughed happily , High spirits.

In the Community Shield at the beginning of this season, Manchester United beat Leicester City 6-0, giving the new season a good start. But Leicester City got off to a bad start, and Ranieri stumbled.

In the sixth round of the league, Manchester United defeated Leicester City 4-1. In that game, Manchester United showed extremely strong dominance. , In the end, only relying on an own goal by Manchester United, they scored a goal. In that game, Leicester City no longer had the courage of last season and faltered in the Premier League.

Before the start of this game, Leicester City was about to fall into the relegation zone.

The league has gone through 23 rounds, and Leicester City has only scored 21 points now, and is currently ranked 16th, only one point away from the relegation zone.

The league has reached this stage, and many bookmakers have already regarded Ranieri as the top of the odds for getting out of class. After Leicester City experienced the glory of last season, they quickly fell from the league runner-up position and were beaten back to their original shape.

Last season, Leicester City triumphantly, Ranieri always said to the media with a smile: "Our goal this season is to avoid relegation."

Leicester City have struggled this season, and Ranieri often frowned and said: "Our goal this season is to avoid relegation."

Although the words are the same, the mood and situation have changed greatly.

One is the seven-time champion coach, the new king of Manchester United; the other is the faltering Fox City coach, who is facing the risk of getting out of class.

Standing by the side of the King Power Stadium at this moment, Kintag looked at the frowning Ranieri. He felt sorry for the old coach: "Claudio, you don't look very good."

Ranieri sighed: "I'm not feeling well recently."

"Then pay more attention to rest, the body is the most important."

"Okay, thank you Tiger."

Kintag walked to the coach's bench, Ranieri looked at Kintag's figure, and he sighed again.

If I lose this game again, maybe I will not be far from getting out of class...

In this game, Ranieri ranked all the main players, and they want to do their best to fight for the next victory.

On Kintag's side, however, many players have been rotated. Among the frontcourt partners in this game, Kintag sent Asensio and Ali. These two men were one of the contributors to Leicester City's runner-up last season. They are very familiar with Leicester City's players and style of play. They will definitely have some advantages on the court.

And as soon as the game started, Leicester City launched a fierce attack towards Manchester United's penalty area!

Vardy shot from outside the penalty area. Although De Gea hit the ball steadily, he was still taken aback.

At this time, Captain Van Dijk mobilized the defensive players: "Everyone should be more energetic, don't be careless! Leicester City was the runner-up last season, so it is not easy to mess with."

This is not only Van Dijk's personal thoughts, but also what Kintag told the players before the game.

The current Leicester City is like a starving fox. Although they are full of trauma, they have a great desire for food. If they are not careful, the blue fox will turn into a hungry wolf and bite the opponent!

Therefore, in this game, Manchester United held the ball very patiently in the midfield while solidly defending.

After withstood Leicester City's opening onslaught, Manchester United's offensive efficiency was immediately reflected.

In the 21st minute of the game, Manchester United suddenly launched a midfield attack. Their three forwards ran quickly and took away Leicester City's defense. The attacking midfielder Asensio dribbled the ball across the midfield and drove straight into the edge of the penalty area. At this time, no one stepped forward to mark him.

Asensio glanced at Schmeichel's position, and he kicked without hesitation! The ball flew towards the absolute dead end of the goal with the sound of the wind!

"The goal was scored!!! In the 21st minute of the first half,

Manchester United scored a beautiful long shot! "

"It was Asensio who scored the goal. Schmeichel could only look at the ball and sigh with their unexpected attack! After Manchester United withstood Leicester City's opening onslaught, they quickly attacked with a fatal blow and broke the deadlock! "

"1 to 0! Manchester United's game is getting better and better!"

After scoring the goal, the Manchester United fans who watched the away game from the sidelines cheered loudly and celebrated the goal.

The Manchester United players on the field also rushed towards Asensio, surrounded him tightly and congratulated him.

But after the crowd dissipated, Asensio didn't make any gestures. He walked towards his own half with a blank expression on his face.

Looking at the dejected faces of the Leicester City players around him, Asensio felt a little uncomfortable. Last season, his comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with him, and won the league runner-up together, became opponents with him this season. Fight for relegation.

It's amazing how things have changed.

Not only Asensio was a little emotional, but Kim Tag also sighed.

After conceding the ball just now, the always gentle coach Ranieri even rushed to the sidelines, criticizing his defense loudly, completely losing his previous calm look. It seems that the current situation of the team has brought too much pressure on him.

After being scored by Manchester United, Leicester City's offense became stronger. Every player of them knows very well that if they lose this game, they are likely to fall into the relegation zone and fall into the abyss. So even today facing the seven-time Premier League overlord Manchester United, even the terrifying Red Devils who have scored their 10 goals this season, Leicester City players are still desperately striving for goals and victory.

At the end of the first half, Leicester City played a very exciting attack. They cooperated continuously on the right. Drinkwater made a very precise pass from the right. Val in front of the goal At the risk of being shoveled, Di took a shovel shot in front of Coulibaly and stabbed the ball into the near corner!

"The tenacious Leicester City equalized the score! At the end of the first half, their top scorer Vardy made a contribution!"

"This tackle is very dangerous, because Koulibaly has stretched out his feet to block the route of the ball. Vardy's head is aimed at the spikes this time. He will try his best to break through Manchester United's goal!"

"1 to 1! Leicester City has rekindled the hope of winning!"

Vardy, who scored a goal, didn't even celebrate. After he rushed into the net, he ran towards the middle circle holding the ball.

At this time, Van Dijk seemed to see some red on Vardy's head, and he looked at Coulibaly's studs again.

These guys are working hard today...
