After equalizing the score, Leicester City's morale was boosted and they continued to attack, hoping to score another goal and reverse the score. If they want to compete for the championship, they cannot be satisfied with a draw at home.
But Liverpool's high press made it difficult for Leicester City to even pass the ball to Vardy or Shinji Okazaki, let alone shoot.
After Vardy's shot resulted in a penalty, Liverpool had stepped up their marking on him.
Of course, besides defending, Liverpool will not forget to counterattack. As for Velarde, whose skills have been increased to 92, his dribbling breakthroughs are even sharper and even more difficult to stop.
The higher the attributes, the greater Willard's lead over the opponent's defensive attributes, making it easier to successfully break through.
Although the Blue Fox midfielder Kante performed very well and often appeared in key positions to complete interceptions or steals, which made Henderson, Lucas, Firmino and others quite depressed. But when Willard takes the ball to attack, Kanter can't perform as well.
Regardless of height, physique, speed, and dribbling skills, Velarde has the advantage in all aspects. Unless he is in a sudden state or commits a foul, it will be difficult for Kanter to intercept the ball at Velarde's feet.
In the 69th minute, Velarde made another ox-tail spike at the front of the penalty area, preparing to break through from the left side of Kanter.
If Villard is allowed to break through, Velard will reach the line of the penalty area and can shoot directly. Velarde's shooting skills and power are well known and are no worse than those of top forwards.
Therefore, in desperation, Kanter directly fell to the ground and tackled from the side, trying to destroy the ball at Willard's feet. However, Velard reacted faster than him and took the ball away in advance. Then Kanter's tackle failed to catch the ball. He just put his foot between Velard's legs and tripped Velard.
Kanter's action was very clean. He stopped his foot after seeing that he could not tackle the ball. He was not shown a yellow card by the referee, but it was still considered a foul and was awarded a free kick by the referee.
This is a free kick about 25 meters away from the goal on the left side of the penalty area. The distance is quite good, so Willard asked for the right to take the penalty and prepared to take the free kick himself.
He has also taken many free kicks before, but his scoring rate from direct free kicks is really not flattering, and he has only scored one goal. However, this did not stop him from continuing to try.
He just re-added his skill attribute yesterday and raised it to 92. Both his arc technique, shooting power and accuracy have been improved. This direct free kick from this good position is worth trying.
Under the command of Schmeichel Jr., after Leicester City's wall was lined up, the referee blew the whistle for a penalty kick. Willard glanced at the wall and the goalkeeper's position, and then started to run.
After a few steps, Velarde put his right foot in the middle and lower part of the ball and kicked the ball upwards.
The ball rose into the air and flew over the head of Mahrez, the innermost wall. Although Mahrez tried his best to jump up and try to hit the ball and destroy it, he still missed a little distance.
The ball flew over Mahrez's head and seemed to be flying towards the middle of the goal. However, goalkeeper Schmeichel knew at a glance that the ball must be a curve ball and was going towards the near end corner. of.
Therefore, he was not deceived by the initial route of the ball, but decisively took two steps sideways and pounced towards the near corner of the goal.
Sure enough, the ball drew an arc in the air and headed towards the near upper corner of the goal. Little Schmeichel jumped very high, stretched out his hand with all his strength, and successfully touched the ball with his fingertips.
Just when Schmeichel was overjoyed and thought he could save the ball, the ball changed its line and hit the inside of the post with a bang, and finally bounced into the net.
"Oh, Goooooooooooooooooooal..."
"The ball went in!!!"
"Villade's direct free kick went in again. This is the second direct free kick that Velard has scored."
"Although Schmeichel's prediction was accurate, he successfully encountered Willard's direct free kick. However, the angle of Willard's ball was too tricky and too powerful. Schmeichel's save ultimately failed to save the ball. It came out of the baseline and just changed the line slightly, but it still hit the inside of the post and eventually bounced into the net.”
"Villad can not only run all over the field in sports battles, but also make great contributions to the team on both offense and defense. Even in set pieces, Velard can also perform excellently."
"Although he has only joined Liverpool for a month, Willard's value has indeed almost doubled."
"Even at the current level, whoever wants to get Willard from Liverpool can't even think about negotiating without paying a transfer fee of more than 100 million."
"Of course, I think that even if someone offers 100 million, Liverpool will not be able to let him go. After all, for the same 100 million, Willard is much better than Gareth Bale."
"Liverpool take the lead again."
Willard was also very excited to score another direct free kick goal. With this ability to score directly from free kicks, it will become easier and easier to break the opponent's dense defense in the future.
When the shooting and skills are increased to the full value of 100, I am afraid that scoring a hat trick of free kicks in a single game will not be a problem. It is exciting just thinking about it.
Even if the shooting reaches 99, it is fundamentally different from 100. If you shoot 99%, there will still be deviations after all. If you shoot a long shot 20 meters away from the goal, the ball will be deflected by 1°, and it will be deflected by about 0.35 meters when it reaches the goal.
Therefore, only when you hit 100 shots can you achieve it exactly. After the skills and physique are increased to 100, and the arc and strength are reached to a perfect level, then it will really be a matter of hitting where.
After excluding factors such as the opponent's pressing interference and the wind in the stadium, even if Villard is thirty meters away from the fans, he can shoot straight into the blind corner.
However, every time you add attributes above 90, you need 10 skill points, and if you add 99 to 100, you need 50 skill points. I don’t know when and how long it will take to increase all skills to full 100. You may have to make a decision later. Let’s see. Top up which skills first, and add other skills later.
But these are things for the future, now let’s concentrate on playing this game! After all, the opponent is the team ranked first in the standings, not a weakling.
After celebrating with his teammates for a while, Willard and others returned to their own half, allowing Leicester City to kick the ball in the circle.
After the game restarted, Leicester City increased their offensive intensity. After all, now that they are behind, they can't do anything without attacking.
It has to be said that in addition to the efforts of coaches and players, luck is also a major factor in Leicester City's ranking first in the standings this season.
Although Willard and his teammates tried their best to press and defend and interfere with Leicester City's offense, Leicester City still kicked in the right corner of the penalty area after Mahrez cut in from the wing in the 83rd minute. Diagonal pass, stuffing the ball into the penalty area.
Originally, according to its original route, the ball was going to be grabbed by center back Lovren for a clearance. Unexpectedly, Lucas made a flying tackle the moment Mahrez passed the ball. Not only did he fail to intercept the ball, but he touched the ball and caused the ball to change direction, just avoiding the Liverpool defender in the penalty area. Hit the ball into the small penalty area.
Vardy, who was in the penalty area, was the first to react. He overtook Sakho and Lovren, got ahead of the attacking goalkeeper Mignolet, and successfully shoveled the ball into the goal with a flying kick.
Lucas dejectedly gave Vardy an own goal assist, and Vardy scored twice to help Leicester City tie the score at 2-2.
The entire King Power Stadium burst into flames as tens of thousands of Blue Fox fans chanted Vardy's name and paid homage to this civilian hero.
Falling behind twice and equalizing twice not only proved Leicester City's luck, but also proved Leicester City's tenacity.
Although Liverpool also vigorously counterattacked in the last ten minutes, hoping to kill the opponent, they were really not as lucky as the opponent. In the 89th minute, Willard even hit the door frame with a long shot, but failed to score.
In the end, after 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee Andre Marriner blew the whistle to end the game. Liverpool took the lead twice and was equalized by Leicester City twice. The two sides finally tied at 2. -2 flat.
