26: La Croqueta!

The score was tied!

Rocky felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't help it.

After all, football is not a one-person sport, no matter how strong Rocky's passing ability was, his long-range shooting ability.

But he also can't guarantee a victory in every game.

Only, Rocky was eager to win.

In Rocky's view, the game was not over, then anything was possible.

After all, only last year Real Madrid completed the miracle at 92:48 that can be remembered in football history.

Rocky looked up at Ranieri on the sidelines.

If Ranieri does not make any adjustments, I am afraid that this game, Leicester City will really not be able to take away the victory.

Rocky watched as Drinkwater was forced to run behind Alli, and he wanted to help defend, but didn't know how.

After all, if you leave the midfield, then Leicester City's midfield will really fall.

But Drinkwater really wasn't for dirty work!

"Go, go see how Kante is warming up? Let him play."

"Replace Drinkwater."

"We need to build a barrier in the midfield now."

Standing on the sidelines, Ranieri seemed to know what Rocky was thinking, and told his assistant coach Andy.

"It looks like Drinkwater is going to be sacrificed."

"He's really not fit to start with Rocky.."

Ranieri, who was standing on the sidelines, looked at Drinkwater's figure running around and made a decision in his heart.

After a minute.

"Change me down?"

Drinkwater's face was full of anticipation. After he confirmed it, Drinkwater breathed a sigh of relief, trotted all the way to the sidelines, and gave Kante a high five.

Drinkwater really didn't want to run after Alli.

The reason why Alli was able to get a penalty just now had a lot to do with him.

Now that Ranieri had replaced him, Drinkwater felt a lot easier.

Ranieri's substitutions were not over yet. He replaced left-back Schlupp with a young player named Chilwell.

Two consecutive matchup substitutions.

Obviously, Ranieri wants to strengthen the team's defense in the backcourt.

He doesn't want to lose the ball again.

Or rather, he had to solidify the defense and let Rocky create a chance to rewrite the score.

"The boss said, you go to the front midfielder, you only need to attack."

"The defense has me."

After the short Kante came on the court, he went straight to Rocky. He showed his white teeth, and said to Rocky with a smile.

"Okay, then please, Kante."

Rocky looked at Kante, who has only been with the team for more than a month, but had become the pistachio of the entire team, his smile infected everyone.

The unhappiness in my heart because of losing the ball also disappeared.

After Chilwell came on, he ran directly to Mahrez at left-back.

In this game, Mahrez's presence was too low.

The reason was also very simple, he and Schlupp were facing Tottenham right-back Kyle Walker.

Kyle Walker's breakthrough ability was very strong and extremely fast.

In addition, he would run to the team's frontcourt to participate in the offense, and Schlupp can't defend him alone.

So, Mahrez was often responsible for the return defense.

That's why Mahrez seemed to be missing the whole game.

While Ranieri used Chilwell to replace Schlupp, he also had the intention of liberating Mahrez.

After all, there was only Rocky in the middle of the attack, and Albrighton, who was attacking from the wing, was also heavily guarded by Tottenham's Ben Davies.

If Leicester City's attack on the left does not work, then in this game, Leicester City cannot take away the victory of the game.

You know, this is their home ground.

The entire home has 30,000 fans come to the scene to watch the game.

They must win.

...

With Kante and Chilwell on the court, Rocky could feel that the whole team was different.

Although Kante still kept running behind Alli.

But he can always restrain Alli, prevent Alli from dribbling forward easily, or make Alli very uncomfortable with the ball, so he can only choose to pass the ball.

This suddenly dropped Tottenham's offensive threat capability by a notch.

Chilwell and Mahrez on the flank began to plug in frequently together. The two alternated back and forth, and occasionally collided with the wall, making Kyle Walker, who could easily press forward against Schlupp, also become ineffective, there was no chance at all to step in and look for opportunities.

Suddenly, the entire Leicester City came to life.

Instead, the Tottenham players were behind the Leicester City players at this moment to help defend.

But.

Although the scene was dominant, the time had passed by one minute and one second, and now it had come to the eighty-ninth minute of the second half.

But the score between the two sides was still 1-1.

For the away team, Tottenham was very satisfied with the result of a draw, so under Pochettino's signal, all Tottenham players retreated and did not give Leicester any chance.

Even the team's center, Harry Kane, recovered to his own half to help defend.

Obviously, Pochettino had made up his mind and wanted to take away a draw.

Seeing this, Rocky decided to try it out on his own.

Originally sitting in the middle, Rocky, who distributed the ball to various places, started with the ball.

In front of him, the one in charge of defending him was the old acquaintance Dier.

Rocky's feet were very dexterous, and a La Croqueta ball once again passed Dier who wanted to stretch his foot to steal.

Immediately after, looking at Tottenham substitute Bentaleb who came up to help defend, Rocky didn't hesitate to make another La Croqueta.

Bentaleb was caught off guard, he didn't expect Rocky to use two La Croqueta in a row to pass.

In the blink of an eye, Bentaleb was also given up by Rocky.

Immediately afterwards, Rocky broke through to the left sideline.

But.

Alli and right back, Kyle Walker all came up to help defend, but they didn't give Rocky a chance to start.

Coupled with Bentaleb, who came to defend, there are three people in charge of defending Rocky near the left sideline.

It seemed that Rocky was cornered by these three people, because Rocky was already near the bottom line.

Two steps ahead, it was Tottenham's goal.

Take the ball to the left and the ball goes out of bounds.

Now in front of Rocky, it seemed that the only way was to pass back.

However, the scene that happened in the next second made everyone doubt their eyes.

Rocky insisted on dribbling forward.

As the ball was about to be intercepted by Kyle Walker, Rocky made a third Croqueta.

When the ball was about to fly off the baseline, Rocky swiped it back with his left foot.

Then, he directly broke through the defense of three Tottenham players.

Immediately afterwards, he chose to pass the ball without hesitation.

The place where the ball falls was exactly where Vardy was.

Vardy jumped high and faced the incoming ball with a header.

Lloris, who didn't react, watched Vardy score with a header.

2-1.

At the last moment of the game, Vardy lore Tottenham.

However, everyone knows that the biggest success of this ball was Rocky.

Three La Croquetas in a row, passed five people.

Among them, Dier and BenTaleb, were passed twice by Rocky with La Croqueta.
