Only 15 minutes into the first half, the Leicester City players already felt tired.
This opponent is too strong!
The defense is in place.
The passing and receiving are extremely accurate.
Every shot has the possibility of breaking into the net.
Although it was only 15 minutes, they felt as if they had played for 30 minutes.
Their spirit was highly tense and they dared not relax even a little.
Even when they played against Manchester City some time ago, there was not such great pressure.
This is the deterrent power of Mourinho's team.
Leicester City's two wings are flying together, and Chelsea's two wings are also very sharp.
There are Ashley Cole and Hazard on the left, Ivanovic and Schurrle on the right, and Lampard and Oscar assisting in the middle. Chelsea's offensive is extremely sharp.
In the 31st minute of the game, the ball came to the left again.
Hazard dribbled past two people again and passed the ball on the ground outside the penalty area!
Eto'o in the middle poked the ball!
Schmeichel fell to the ground to save!
The ball was saved by him again!
From the first half of the game to now, the busiest person in Leicester City is Schmeichel.
Chelsea has many shots and many of the shots are on target.
This is different from Manchester City's frequent shots before.
When The shot did not go in, Eto'o kicked the grass hard and cursed in African dialect.
At this time, Mourinho on the sidelines frowned.
The 33-year-old Eto'o came on a free transfer last summer.
As a former subordinate, Mourinho had high expectations for him.
But unexpectedly, he performed very poorly in Chelsea this season.
He was in a daze for half a season and had long lost his original state.
This made Mourinho very embarrassed.
Getting rid of him was not good after all, he was introduced by himself.
Try to Entrust him with important tasks, but it is unrealistic.
Mourinho is not a person who ignores results for personal favors.
This game mourinho gave him a rare chance to start, and he also hoped that he could use the English Championship team to find his form.
But unexpectedly, this game indeed gave him so many opportunities, but he still couldn't grasp them.
The once powerful cheetah is really old...
Chelsea's attack continues, and continues to suppress Leicester City.
In the 43rd minute of the game, Chelsea once again played a wonderful cooperation from the left.
"There are still two minutes left, and the first half of the game is over.
"Can Leicester City maintain its one-goal lead?
"It's Chelsea's attack again!
"Left-back Ashley Cole dribbled forward again!
"He passes the ball to Lampard horizontally!
"Lampard passed the ball diagonally to Oscar!
"Oscar passed it horizontally to Hazard!
Several consecutive passes instantly broke through Leicester City's midfield defense!
"Ashley Cole continued to sprint!
"Will Hazard pass the ball, or will he do it himself?
"He chose to go at it alone!
"Driving the ball to the penalty area!
"Drinkwater has been following him closely!
"If he can get pastDrinkWater, then Leicester City's defensive castle will collapse by half!
"Hazard's feet swung continuously!
"Changing to the right front, He suddenly pulls the ball horizontally!
"To the left front again, he makes a sudden stop and accelerates again!
"Drinkwater was passed!
"Hazard accelerated towards the penalty area!
"Eto'o pulled at the defense, Morgan did not dare to take him lightly, and could only defend!
"Another central defender Konchesky rushed to grab the ball!
"Hazard pulled the ball lightly, preforms a stepover, and suddenly accelerated!
"Konchesky was also passed by!
"Hazard's movements were very light, like the wind!
"Goalkeeper Schmeichel tries his best to block him!
"Hazard made a low shot from a small angle!
"The ball rolled into the far corner of the goal!
"The ball went in!
"Chelsea finally equalized the score!
"1 to 1!
"Hazard used light dance steps to pass two people and scored!
"It's wonderful!"
Stamford Bridge was instantly filled with jubilation!
Countless fans shouted Hazard's name!
"This young man who just joined Chelsea last season,
"has now become the new favorite of the Blues fans!
"This Belgian genius who emerged from Ligue 1 has conquered Stamford Bridge with his outstanding skills!
"Last season's rising star, this season has become Chelsea's absolute technical core!
"Chelsea equalized the score, and the balance of victory tilted towards them again!"
Pearson on the sidelines looked up at the time, 44 minutes.
Shakespeare next to him stomped his feet: "What bad luck! The first half is about to end, and the score is tied, Fxxk!"
Pearson shook his head: "We have been suppressed by the opponent. It is not easy to hold on until this time before losing the ball. "
Shakespeare: "What about the second half?"
Pearson: "We need to increase our defensive strength. "
Back in the locker room, Pearson comforted everyone while looking at the somewhat frustrated Leicester City players.
But the words of comfort were not so effective.
"Guys, we must increase our defensive efforts in the second half and not give Chelsea the opportunity to easily break into the penalty area."
Drinkwater and Konchesky blushed a little.
Hazard's goal just now was scored after he passed the two of them. The two of them have an unshirkable responsibility.
Captain Morgan patted the two of them comfortingly.
"Facing that level of dribbling, even for me, it would be difficult to defend."
Pearson nodded: "So in the second half we have to make full use of the defensive space, strive to form an advantage of multiple defenses in a small area, and clamp them, so as to ensure that we don't lose the ball. "
In the second half, Chelsea still attacked fiercely.
Leicester City also changed.
Xia Xing's position was more flexible, and he frequently swung between the middle and the wing.
Facing Chelsea's attack, Xia Xing became a left defensive midfielder and participated in the defense with all his strength.
Vardy also withdrew to the left and temporarily became a left forward.
In this way, Leicester City's defensive formation actually became 4-5-1.
In the second half, Hazard was still active on the left, but Drinkwater went all out to defend him this time.
With Xia Xing's help in the midfield, Drinkwater was not worried about the back.
After two consecutive fierce tackles, Hazard also slowed down his footwork.
Although Leicester City's fast break is sharp, don't forget that they are from the Championship. !
The most brutal league, the English Championship!
Several fierce defenses made Hazard a little cautious.
He didn't want to be injured in this game.
You know, he was looking forward to hitting the quadruple championship this season, how could he fall here?
Hazard protected himself appropriately, and Ashley Cole's physical fitness also declined seriously, and the number of assists decreased significantly.
Chelsea's attack began to deviate to the right.
However, this wing is Leicester City's strongest wing!
Whether it is offense or defense, it is the strongest!
Ivanovic just dribbled the ball forward, and Xia Xing made a sliding tackle to steal the ball!
He was still on the ground, and he exerted force with his toes!
And poked the ball forward!
Vardy received the ball and accelerated his sprint!
Terry followed closely!
But Vardy still forced a shot!
