英国当地时间2月27日20:00，2016/17赛季英超第26轮一场焦点战在莱斯特城的皇权球场展开争夺，利物浦将在客场挑战莱斯特城。
Liverpool's away loss to Leicester City last season was the only defeat for the Red Army in the last 9 encounters between the two sides. The remaining 8 games had 6 wins and 2 draws.
双方英超历史交锋21场，利物浦10胜5平6负占据上风，双方历史交锋105场，利物浦44胜24平37负占据上风。莱斯特城功勋教练拉涅利在本周被解职，看守教练克莱格-莎士比亚让冈崎慎司进入首发。
Liverpool originally wanted to rotate the main players in several positions, but after Zhang Mai's persuasion, Klopp finally sent the strongest lineup.
Although the Leicester City fans at the scene put up slogans to support Ranieri, Zhang Mai knew that Ranieri's dismissal had a lot to do with the Blue Fox City locker room.
However, it took a lot of rhetoric for Zhang Mai to persuade Uncle Zha, who was bursting with confidence after the winning streak, to strengthen his starting lineup against Blue Fox City.
Before Ranieri was fired, Leicester City had a dismal record, ranking 17th in the league, only 2 points ahead of deputy squad leader Sunderland.
The British media reported a lot of discord between the Italian coach and the players:
"Daily Mail" revealed that Leicester City players have lost confidence in Ranieri. Ranieri's chaotic tactics and management methods this season have made the players unconvinced.
After the official announcement of the dismissal of Ranieri on February 2, similar inside information was disclosed one by one:
"The Telegraph" revealed that the situation is more serious. Ranieri has problems with some key players in Leicester City. He is losing control of the Leicester City dressing room.
"Mirror" revealed the real reason for Ranieri's dismissal, that is, the coach has lost the support and trust of the players.
The "Mirror" revealed that many of Leicester City's main players complained to the club chairman Vichai about Ranieri's coaching methods.After winning the Premier League championship by relying on a stable lineup and tactics, Ranieri's thinking this season has made the players extremely uncomfortable.
After the 0-3 home loss to Manchester United, a key Leicester City player shouted in the lounge, "That's it, I don't know what we are doing, we are finished." Leicester City players were dissatisfied Not only is Ranieri accustomed to rotating the lineup this season, the coach also angered the players by changing the pre-match menu from chicken burgers to pasta.
In the summer of 2016, there were relegation clauses in the contracts signed by Leicester City players and the club. Once they were relegated, their annual salary would be greatly reduced.
Including Vardy and Schmeichel have hinted that the club needs to make changes. At the press conference before the game against Sevilla, Vardy said that the head coach and the coaching staff must work harder. After Leah, when asked about Ranieri's tactics, Schmeichel replied, "Every member of the club must work harder because we need to get out of the predicament in the Premier League."
"Although Leicester City's league performance this season is poor, it has not been irreversible, and with Ranieri's prestige in the team and rich coaching experience, I fully believe that Tinker can lead the team to reverse the situation." What’s more. Besides, the Premier League schedule has reached two-thirds of the time. There are too many disadvantages of changing coaches at this point. What is the reason that makes Leicester City dare to risk the world at this critical juncture of relegation? What about resolutely firing the team's meritorious coach?"
Zhang Mai's analysis and final rhetorical question made Klopp serious.
"I know the players of Leicester City, and I also know Ranieri's nature. In the end, the owner of Thailand must be on the side of the players!"
"The players of Leicester City will not have the fluctuations and low tides of the usual coaching change, but will try their best to prove themselves in the next games."
Klopp immediately accepted Zhang Mai's statement that "this battle must be tough", and put away his contempt for Blue Fox City.
The starting rosters of the two sides displayed on the big screen on the sidelines showed the Red Army's prudence and the Blue Army's PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds:
Leicester City: (4-4-2)
1 - Schmeichel;
17-Simpson, 5-Morgan, 6-Huth, 28-Fuchs;
26- Mahrez, 4- Drinkwater, 25- Ndidi, 11- Albrighton;
20-Okazaki Shinji, 9-Valdy.
Liverpool: (4-2-3-1)
22 - Mignolet;
2-Klein, 19-Matip, 4-Van Dijk, 7-Milner;
15- Chamberlain, 5- Wijnaldum;
12-Mbappe, 10-Zhang Mai, 9-Mane;
11 - Firmino.
Liverpool is an attacking formation with the main force, while Leicester City's midfielder lacks Zhang Mai and Kanter, and both offensive and defensive ends are weaker by more than one level.
Before the game, Zhang Mai hugged and said hello to his former teammates one by one. He could feel the fighting spirit of the Leicester City players and strengthened his judgment.
After the referee blew the opening whistle, the game started. Leicester City took the initiative to attack uncharacteristically and took the lead on the field first.
In the 5th minute, Vardy's shot was blocked, and then Shinji Okazaki's header from 10 yards was saved by Mignolet.
Two minutes later, Liverpool counterattacked. Mane and Zhang Mai cooperated and passed Firmino diagonally, but Morgan, who was not old with a sword, made a key interception.
In the 13th minute, Albrighton took a corner kick and Huth missed the goal with a header.
In the 19th minute, Vardy got rid of Matip's shot at close range after receiving a long pass and was blocked by Mignolet in time.
Leicester City's offensive was raging, and Liverpool, who were playing away, fell into a difficult situation of struggling defense.
Leicester City broke the deadlock in the 28th minute, Albrighton sent a direct pass, Vardy formed a single shot, and finally shot a low shot from 12 yards from the right rib of the penalty area into the net.
1-0!Vardy's first goal gave the home team a temporary lead and also aroused the cheers of the fans. This was his first goal in the last 8 rounds of the league.
Liverpool, who fell behind by one goal, then stepped up their offense and slowly regained the passive situation on the field.
In the 32nd minute, Mane's shot from the left side of the penalty area was blocked by Schmeichel.
Then Zhang Mai made a wonderful pass from the middle, and Mbappe on the right missed a shot 20 yards from the goal.
But today, the goddess of fate is biased towards the Blue Fox City, and Liverpool, which is gradually improving, is soon hit hard again.
In the 39th minute, Leicester City expanded the score. Milner's header from the corner kick was not far away. The ball fell to the feet of Drinkwater at the front of the penalty area. "Drinking Brother" volleyed the world wave from 28 yards The lower right corner of the Red Army goal,
2-0!Before the first half was over, Liverpool trailed the home team by two goals.
"The mourning army is really fierce, we can't let it win!"
Zhang Mai also felt that today's game was a bit mysterious, but he still urged his teammates to strengthen the pressure and improve the defensive hardness, first stabilize the situation and then plan for the second half.
The following game fell into a melee scene in the midfield, and Leicester City did not take advantage of it.
Liverpool's offensive has become more and more prosperous. In half-time stoppage time, Wijnaldum's long-range shot was saved, and Matip's header went wide in the corner kick melee.
After the intermission, the two sides changed places to fight again, and the Red Army soldiers played 2 points to catch up with the trailing score. You must know that the last time the defending champion was reversed by 1998 goals was in [-].
After all, Leicester City's strength was limited, and the home court advantage and the bloody courage of the underdogs were gradually wiped out by the huge strength gap between the two sides. Liverpool's enhanced counterattack in the second half quickly paid off.
In the 51st minute, Firmino's shot from 20 yards was blocked by Schmeichel, and Mbappe, who followed up from the right, scored the ball with a supplementary shot.
1-2!Mbappe helped Liverpool regain a victory.
Liverpool's offensive continued unabated and almost equalized the score in the 58th minute. Mane's shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Huth.
Without the suppression of the real coach, Leicester City, whose lead was narrowed, also had a small problem.
The tactical thinking of the players on the Blue Fox City field began to diverge. Vardy and Mahrez wanted to continue to attack, while the rest of them wanted to shrink their defense.
In the 67th minute, Zhang Mai seized the gap between the front and rear of Blue Fox City, and tore apart the opponent's defense with a diagonal pass. Mane swung past the goalkeeper and scored the goal.
2-2!Zhang Mai's assist helped the Red Army equalize and silenced the Blue Fox City fans who had been cheering.
The two-goal advantage was tied, and Leicester City's tenacity and tenacity to win the championship also began to show at this time, and the field fell into a midfield fight again.
In the next 10 minutes, a total of 6 people from both sides received yellow cards from the referee, and Vardy of Leicester City was almost sent off the field.
In the 87th minute, Liverpool finally overtook the score. This time it was still Zhang Mai's pass from the middle, and Firmino shot low from the edge of the penalty area to the bottom left corner of the net.
3-2!This is also the final result of the game. Zhang Mai's 2 assists helped Liverpool reverse Leicester City away.
After the game, Klopp still had lingering fears after winning the away game again, but Zhang Mai felt a little heavy.
Liverpool continued to advance triumphantly, and they also gained 2 assists, but their old club, Blue Fox City, had completely fallen into the quagmire of the relegation zone.
After this defeat, Leicester City's ranking dropped to the second from the bottom. Zhang Mai had to comfort and encourage his former comrades-in-arms after the game, which is quite heartbreaking.
