Chapter 309: Chapter 309 Leading By Two Goals! Fox City Is Fighting Back!
With Leicester City's two central defenders focused on Su Luo, it naturally opened up an opportunity for Lukaku, positioned in Leicester's penalty area, to score.
Su Luo, recognizing this, wanted to pass the ball to Lukaku right away. But just as he was about to make the pass, he noticed that Lukaku had moved into an offside position.
No doubt about it.
The pass was no longer an option.
Thinking quickly, Su Luo changed his plan.
Channeling the power of a high-speed tank, Su Luo pressed forward, even under the pressure of Morgan and Maguire's defense.
It must be said—Su Luo's drive was truly terrifying.
And just like that, he broke through into the penalty area with ease.
His raw ability was on full display.
Without hesitation, Su Luo powered a shot towards the goal!
It was a blistering strike!
Although Leicester City's goalkeeper, Schmeichel Jr., made a rapid dive to save it, he was just inches away from touching the ball...
And so, the ball rocketed into the far corner of the net!
The score changed once again!
"It's Su Luo again!"
"That's his second goal of the night! Su Luo is absolutely on fire. At this rate, it wouldn't be surprising if he completes a hat trick tonight!"
Zhan Jun had barely finished speaking when Director Zhang chimed in:
"To be honest, a hat trick seems too easy for Su Luo."
"I think he's going to go for four goals tonight!"
On the pitch, the Chelsea players celebrated the goal with excitement, while Leicester City's players were left with looks of frustration and despair.
Despite their best efforts, Leicester's defense had failed to contain Su Luo.
Once again, Su Luo had scored with ease.
This left Leicester City's star striker, Jamie Vardy, visibly upset. His frustration boiled over after the goal, and he immediately shouted at his teammates:
"Come on, guys! We can't give Su Luo so much space!"
"We've got to defend the honor of King Power Stadium. Let's fight back!"
Vardy's words echoed the feelings of the home fans, who watched the match in growing frustration.
All they saw was passive defense after passive defense.
The team couldn't mount any sort of meaningful attack against Chelsea.
It was clear.
This was not the game Leicester City's fans had hoped for.
After the restart, the Leicester players, now with their backs against the wall, didn't hesitate. They launched into an immediate offensive push.
At this point, they had no choice.
If they wanted to win, they needed to take the game to Chelsea.
For the rest of the half, Leicester City threw everything they had at Chelsea, creating wave after wave of attacks.
To be fair, Leicester's lineup still had some technically skilled players.
Take Riyad Mahrez, for example.
Known as "The King of the Wingers" by fans, Mahrez's dribbling and ability to break through defenders on the wing was sharp.
This time, it was Mahrez's turn to lead the charge...
After Leicester City resumed play, Mahrez received a quick pass from Ndidi on the right flank.
As soon as Mahrez had the ball at his feet, he didn't hesitate.
He surged forward with purpose.
The Leicester City fans erupted in applause.
This was exactly what they wanted to see.
Down the right wing, Mahrez found himself face-to-face with Chelsea's full-back, Azpilicueta.
As one of the Premier League's top defenders, Azpilicueta's defensive skills were formidable. But in this encounter, he struggled to keep up with Mahrez.
With a slick display of footwork, Mahrez executed a perfect bicycle kick maneuver, leaving Azpilicueta behind.
He then sent a rapid cross into the box!
The ball flew past the entire Chelsea defense, too fast for anyone to react.
But Leicester's striker, Vardy, was there.
In front of goal, Courtois rushed out, trying to close the space. But Vardy, with impeccable timing, met the ball with a brilliant right-footed stab!
The ball sailed past Courtois' outstretched hand and into the net!
Goal!
The stadium erupted in wild cheers, with Leicester City fans chanting Vardy's name in unison.
Meanwhile, in the online stream, commentator Zhan Jun's excitement was palpable:
"It's in!"
"Leicester City, on home turf, have finally broken through Chelsea's defense!"
"And the scorer? Jamie Vardy!"
"That was a sensational pass from Mahrez, and Vardy's positioning was flawless. Chelsea's defense simply couldn't keep track of him."
Director Zhang quickly added:
"Oh, this is going to get interesting now! When a match reaches 2-1, the pressure is on. For Chelsea, they'll need to stay focused. Whether it's defense or attack, they have to be crystal clear in their approach."
"As for Leicester City, they'll definitely keep pressing hard now!"
As Director Zhang predicted, after the kick-off, Leicester City, energized by their recent goal, charged forward again, launching a series of attacks at Chelsea's goal.
However, Chelsea's coach, Conte, had already strengthened their defense, particularly focusing on neutralizing Mahrez's threat on the right.
With the right side now locked down, Leicester City shifted their focus to the center.
It was Ndidi's moment to shine.
He found himself in a duel with Chelsea's midfielder, Cesc Fabregas.
As everyone knew, Fabregas was more adept at offense than defense. Ndidi capitalized on this, using his explosive pace to burst past Fabregas with ease.
With a precise long ball, Ndidi found Slimani upfield. Slimani, controlling the pass, quickly set up Vardy for another chance...
