16: Humiliated Adrian!

Ranieri on the sidelines watched with wide-eyed eyes when Rocky was about to take a free kick.

He believed that Rocky would not do anything unsure.

It's quite weird since Rocky was a teenager, but somehow he radiated the vibes of a calm and a mature man.

Apparently, Rocky was about to surprise them again.

In front of the goal, Adrian looked at Rocky who was standing in front of the ball and panicked, because he didn't know Rocky's free kicks and habits.

The unknown is the most frightening.

In order to make his own human wall look foolproof, Adrian hoarsely instructed his teammates to discharge a human wall of five people.

Five tall defenders or midfielders stood together, which made Adrian feel a lot more at ease.

"No matter how good you are at long-range shots, I would like to see how you break through this human wall."

Adrian had a lot of confidence in his heart. He stood in front of the door and jumped, flicking left and right, trying to influence Rocky.

But Rocky ignored Adrian.

When he saw this human wall arranged by Adrian, Rocky gave up the idea of kicking leaf ball.

After all, the wall of people on the opposite side was indeed a bit high. After they jumped up, they were more than two meters away.

Such a distance was not suitable for the performance of the Leaf Ball.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded.

Rocky directly exerted force on the spot, swayed his right leg, and pushed the ball out with the inner arch of his right foot.

At this time, it happened that the walls of West Ham United all jumped up subconsciously.

And Rocky's shot just passed under their feet.

Cut to the ground.

Rocky's shot was very powerful and extremely fast.

A direct white shadow flashed by Adrian standing in front of the door.

I just subconsciously turned my head and glanced at his back, and then realized... I lost the ball.

At this time, Adrian reacted with hindsight.

Rocky didn't plan to shoot long distance at all, nor did he plan to break through the human wall.

He humiliated himself severely with a stick to the ground.

But I can't help myself.

Adrian felt a burst of despair.

He fell directly to the ground, covering his face with his hands, unwilling to see Rocky.

He had been humiliated three times today.

From the first half to the present, Leicester City had only had three shots.

But they scored three goals.

Each of these three balls had Adrian as a background board.

This is the biggest shame of being a goalkeeper.

But Adrian couldn't do anything about it.

"Pretty!"

"Just do it!"

Adrian listened to the cheers of the Leicester City players and was even more reluctant to stand up.

...

"Beautiful! Slash with one foot!"

"Adrian didn't react at all, he stood there and watched the ball roll into his own goal!"

"In this game, Rocky scored twice and provided an assist!"

"So far, Rocky has been involved in all Leicester attacks!"

"Leicester City's midfield core, well deserved!"

In Star sports studio, commentators broke their voice with excitement, but they didn't care about it at all.

As long as Rocky performs well, then as a commentator and it was natural to praise him.

"Hehe, Adrian, he didn't watch this ball!"

"Of course, Rocky is also very good at kicking. He saw that you were tall and all. He stopped kicking the leaf ball, he just kicked and chopped!"

"Adrian, he didn't expect it, but this goalkeeper is a bit miserable. Today is the third time he has been used as a background board."

As professional commentators, they could naturally read the situations on the field and began explaining.

...

Ranieri calmed down after cheering passionately on the sidelines.

Then he turned to look at his assistant coach Andy and instructed.

"I knew this kid would surprise me."

"Let Kante come on, get Drinkwater down."

"Kante has a lot of coverage and range in the mid lane, I want to see how he works with Rocky."

Kante was the one he flew to France to buy from Ranieri. Naturally, he wanted to know whether Kante had strength.

After so many training games, plus the summary of these two games.

Although Rocky was excellent, it's impossible to say that he had no shortcomings.

Slow, not overpowering, rough defense, weak physical fitness.

Drinkwater was a good midfielder, but he's not the kind of midfielder who can run for Rocky, be a bull, and let Rocky relieve the pressure.

This can be seen from the first half of the game.

So, Ranieri wanted to try Kante.

Kante was very excited to learn that he was going to play, and he seemed very happy running around on the sidelines.

Although he only had the last twenty minutes to play football, Kante cherished this opportunity.

At the same time, he kept thinking about Ranieri's instructions to him.

"Protect Rocky!"

Kanter, who came on the field with a mission, was very active.

There was a huge amount of energy hidden in his short body, and he seems to have a perpetual motion in his body, so he will not get tired no matter how he runs.

Not long after Kante came on the pitch, his running volume covered the entire midfield, making Rocky more comfortable to play.

No need for Rocky to do the dirty work.

Rocky was about to start to intercept West Ham's pass.

He saw a dark-skinned boy in a blue jersey suddenly appear on the passing line and break the ball.

Noble and Kouyaté had no intention of caring about Rocky at this time. The two of them ran around behind Kanter's butt, completely forgetting that there was Rocky.

This allowed Rocky to stand in the opponent's midfield as he pleases, and to mobilize the offense at will.

With Rocky's dredging and control, the rhythm of the game was at Leicester City's feet for the remaining twenty minutes of the second half.

The West Ham United players also united in the backcourt and played the most simple art of football.

Set up the bus.

Faced with the scene where seven or eight people are surrounded in front of the penalty area, even Rocky can't do anything very well.

Just like that, time passed by minute by minute.

Finally, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
