Chapter 47 Big Reversal!
After scoring the goal just now, the excited Patterson seemed to have returned to the time when he first came on the court. He ran all the way to the bench and hugged Tavernier who had been waiting for him .
"Captain! This goal is for you!"
The other players who ran over to celebrate kept patting Patterson on the back!
This ball is so crucial!
The game continues!
At the Royal Power Stadium, time passes by every second!
The Leicester City fans in the stands sang the team song in unison. From a mid-to-lower-tier team to Premier League champions, from the meritorious players leaving one by one and returning to the mid-to-lower-tier teams, to slowly rebuilding and reviving again, this group of fans have seen great ups and downs and always stand with their beloved team!
"When You Smile", as their team song goes:
“When you smile, the whole world smiles at you;
When you laugh, the sun shines on you;
When you cry, the rain is about to fall;
So stop sighing, be happy again, and the whole world will smile at you!"
They are the twelfth person on the field!
On the Rangers side, facing the opponents’ constant counterattacks, they are doing the same !
Grit your teeth and hold on!
Keep running like crazy!
From the second half till now, they haven't stopped for a moment!
Patterson's pace slowed down, so Morelos and Roofe retreated to help him defend!
Kent and Barisic were exhausted, so Goldson and Aribo kept running to support them!
Holland is obsessed with Iheanacho!
Balogun's legs seemed to have lost all feeling, and his mind slowly became blank, but his consciousness was firmly fixed on Vardy!
McGregor kept yelling to remind his teammates to defend and change positions!
The away Rangers don't have the support of a twelfth man, but they are trying to become one!
The 89th minute of the game!
The fourth official on the sidelines raised a sign, 4 minutes of extra time!
Leicester City launched several counterattacks in these few minutes, but to no avail!
Rogers' palms began to sweat!
He couldn't understand why this group of cheap players from Glasgow could persist until now!
When he was coaching Celtic, Rangers, who had just been promoted back to the Scottish Premier League, were completely vulnerable!
Only four years have passed. What kind of team spirit has Gerrard created for this team?
"Attack! Attack!" Rogers began to shout at the players to press forward!
Barrage:
【Leicester City can’t sit still! 】
【The final frenzy attack! 】
[I was so nervous watching this! ]
[Both teams have no substitutions available]
【Wanderers, hold on! 】
…
On the sidelines, Gerrard kept reminding the players to pay attention to their defensive positions!
He was very satisfied with the players' performance in this game, but he hoped that the boys' outstanding performance could be exchanged for an excellent result.
This is what they deserve.
Roofe, Kent and Morelos all retreated. The players knew that they had to use their last bit of strength to defend the result.
90 minutes!
Tielemans was intercepted by Chen Xiaoliang, Leicester City has the ball out of bounds!
Amartey threw the ball back into the penalty area, and Evans made a long pass directly to Iheanacho at the high point!
All eight Leicester City players rushed forward!
Holland entangled Iheanacho and prevented him from jumping fully, and Goldson, who came to assist in defense, headed the ball out of the baseline!
Corner kick!
Tielemans walked towards the corner flag and all of Leicester City's high points ran up.
People seem to have forgotten that this is only the first game of a two-round knockout match!
All the Rangers players returned to defense, leaving only Kent in front to contain the opponent.
Tielemans raises his hand and runs!
The ball he kicked found Ndidi who suddenly ran from the back point to the front point!
Aribo, who was guarding him, was blocked by Evans and Se Yunju!
Ndidi jumps up without being marked!
The speed and quality of this ball are very high!
McGregor!
The old goalkeeper reached out and fished the ball out on the goal line!
However, the distance was too close and this time he didn't save the ball far enough!
That man appears again!
Vardy came out of nowhere and shot the ball!
McGregor, lying on the ground, watched the football fly towards the goal in despair!
At this moment, Chen Xiaoliang, who was guarding the back post, jumped up and blocked the ball with his head again!
The Leicester City fans who had already stood up and were ready to cheer let out a sigh!
But the ball still didn’t go far!
However, the Rangers players, who had been frightened twice, would not give Leicester City a third chance. Goldson found the right spot and jumped high to head the ball out of the penalty area, but Aribo cleared the ball with a long kick.
McAllister on the sidelines turned pale when he saw Vardy's shot just now...
On the other side, Rogers and assistant coach Chris Davis were heartbroken.
Teammates came up to hug Chen Xiaoliang! Especially McGregor, who held his shoulders tightly and shook him a few times!
Barrage:
[I almost had a heart attack after watching this...]
【It was just a little bit away from GG! 】
[Tottenham should regret loaning out Chen Xiaoliang]
[Just now my mom angrily asked me why I was yelling in the middle of the night. I said I was watching a game. She was so angry that she made me kneel on the keyboard. I am now s dfsfewaad]
…
Leicester City throw-in, the attack continues!
Or a high cross from the wing! There is no need for any fancy foreplay at this moment! The right thing to do is to seize the time and get straight to the point and solve it quickly!
The two central defenders of Leicester City completely treated the opponent's penalty area as their own home and did not move an inch!
The wanderer's physical strength is precarious, and he is supported entirely by faith and will!
92 minutes…93 minutes…
Several consecutive crosses from Amartey and Fuchs were headed out of the penalty area by Rangers. Tielemans chased the ball back and sent it into the penalty area again with a lob pass!
Goldson, whose calf had cramped, jumped!
The roof has burst!
His consciousness was still there, but his body could no longer jump to the height that his consciousness could reach!
Iheanacho headed the ball!
Unfortunately, he was too straight! He was dragged out of the baseline by McGregor's palm!
Corner kick!
Fuchs took the penalty kick, and all the Leicester City players came up except him!
Even goalkeeper Schmeichel came up!
Run up and kick!
The ball drew an arc and flew forward flat and fast!
It's Vardy again! Heading the ball in front of the goal!
It was blocked by Kent who was guarding the near post!
Kent clears the ball!
"Hurry!" Just as the Rangers players were relieved to have secured the victory again, Chen Xiaoliang shouted! At this time, he had already run out of the penalty area!
Barisic, who had the best tacit understanding, was the first to react!
He saw Schmeichel Jr. running towards his own goal!
Barisic quickly chased the ball! Without waiting for the ball to hit the ground, he used the arch of his foot to pass it in the direction where Chen Xiaoliang was running!
Kent, Roofe, Morelos, and Patterson also ran forward, but except for Morelos, the other three couldn't run any further...
The King Power Stadium was in complete silence! Many fans covered their mouths, anxiously watching what would happen next.
There was no sound in Chen Xiaoliang's ears anymore, he could only hear his own rapid heartbeat.
“Boom boom boom…”
The ball that Barisic passed to him landed three meters in front of him, bounced high, and then fell again.
As the person who consumed the least physical energy on the field, Schmeichel has now run to the middle of the center circle and the penalty area. In about three seconds, he will be able to return to the goal he is guarding!
Chen Xiaoliang no longer has any extra energy to think about the added value between his long-range shooting attributes and Barisic's tacit connection!
He had only one choice! Catch the ball, and then use up the last bit of his energy to shoot it towards the goal!
One second later! He did it!
But before he could even see the trajectory of the ball, his supporting leg went weak and he fell completely down!
He wanted to get up, but his arms were too weak!
All he heard were the groans in unison and his teammates shouting wildly, and he knew he had really done it!
His teammates dragged their tired bodies and slowly ran towards him!
Barisic and Morelos helped him up!
Applause broke out at the King Power Stadium, and the announcer said: "In the 95th minute, Rangers scored a goal. The scorer is No. 33 Chen Xiaoliang."
The kick-off was from the center circle, and as soon as the ball was kicked out, the referee blew the whistle!
2 to 3, Rangers reversed the game!
