As the game approached 70 minutes, Ranieri asked Zhang Mai and the 23-year-old No. 15 midfielder Schlupp (Ghana) to warm up and prepare to replace the two generals Mahrez and Vardy.
Zhang Mai and Schlupp began to trot on the sidelines. Within a few minutes, there were exclamations from fans and screams of "Goo...ool!" from the commentator.
It's over, the matter of playing is over again!
In the 71st minute, Manchester United veteran Fletcher, who came off the bench for Sunderland, easily passed Mahrez and shot from the right corner of Leicester City's penalty area, helping Sunderland get back a goal and rewriting the score to 4. :2!
Ranieri immediately stopped the substitutions, nervously observed the situation on the sidelines, and at the same time kept counting in his heart.
Let Zhang Mai play?The vice-chairman Ayawat told him before the game that Zhang Mai is currently the club's face-to-face and highest-paid player. Today's game will be broadcast live by China TV, which is a big market with more than 10 billion viewers. Yes, but you have to show up!
After 80 minutes of the game, the situation in Leicester City gradually stabilized. Ranieri sent Zhang Mai and Schlupp on the field, replacing Mahrez and Vardy. Both of them were explained by the assistant coach. The task of intercepting and assisting the defense in the midfield.
Zhang Mai took Vardy's position. Even if he retreats, he is a forward midfielder. In less than 1 minute, N'Golo Kante intercepted Sunderland's pass from the center and kicked him habitually. The ground ball was passed to Zhang Mai in the front midfielder position.
Time is running out, Zhang Mai, who is eager to score a goal, takes advantage of the situation after receiving the ball, tricks the forward Sunderland defender Kabul, and dribbles the ball straight into the penalty area.
Between Zhang Mai and the goalkeeper, there is only one lagging central defender O'Shea. O'Shea had a big shortcoming of slow response at his peak. Now he is old and fighting for a long time, and he is given by Zhang Mai with a pendulum of more than 20 miles. clean.
Finally, facing the Romanian giant Pantelimon, Zhang Mai made a counter-angle cut to the ground and easily broke through the gate of Sunderland, 5:2!
"The beautiful pendulum is extraordinary, the next is a one-handed ball, Zhang Maimian..."
"Gool! Gool! Gool! Huaguo player Zhang Mai scored a goal! Zhang Mai scored a goal in less than 1 minute!"
Huang Tao has been conscientiously explaining the game, almost taking over the commentary work for the first 80 minutes of the game.
Zhan Jun stayed for 80 minutes because Zhang Mai didn't play, and this immediately vented the depression of the whole game.
"The last goal of a Huaguo player in the five major European leagues dates back to December 2008, 12. At that time, in the 13th round of the Bundesliga, Shao Jiayi, known as the 'Chinese Firecracker', scored for Cottbus. One goal, after 17 years, Zhang Mai finally reproduced the glory of Chinese players in the Premier League!"
Huang Tao's carefully prepared historical rhetoric was immediately brought out to suit the occasion.
"Zhang Mai, who has super personal ability, should occupy a starting position. Coach Ranieri, you have to keep your eyes open and take a good look!"
As Zhang Mai's die-hard fan, Zhan Jun also stood up to defend his players at this time.
The King Power Stadium was boiling again. Zhang Mai galloped all the way to the stands where Huaguo spectators gathered. His posture was as majestic as an Indian chief fighting against Tianwei on the top of the mountain, which made many female fans go crazy.
Mahrez and Vardy had just left the field, and before they had time to take a sip of water, they saw Zhang Mai's goal and the scene of celebration.
Mahrez had to shake his head and smile wryly, while Vardy added heartlessly, "Although he is single, he is really handsome!".
Ranieri by the side of the static stand looked cloudy and uncertain, and he couldn't help but ask himself: Zhang Mai seems to have no conflict with him, is it really good to suppress him like this?
Sunderland re-kick-off, the time has come to the 83rd minute, most of Sunderland's team are veterans, even if they want to chase points, they are unable to attack, and the two sides are entangled near the midfield.
N'Golo Kante deserves to be the No.1 world-class intercepting midfielder later. He was still full of energy after running the whole game, and he was still running all over the field.
In the 89th minute, Kanter successfully intercepted in the middle again. When he dribbled the ball, the Sunderland defender who was supplemented by the defense was pulled down at the front of the penalty area, about 30 meters away from the goal.
Kanter and Albrighton stood at the penalty spot and said a few words, and quickly called Zhang Mai over.
"Zhang Mai, N'Golo thinks it's more secure for you to do it."
After Albrighton finished speaking, he ran towards the penalty area.
"Yes, I think your deciduous ball is great! Can you teach me later?"
Kanter, who was like black charcoal all over his body, showed his white teeth and looked cute.
"Of course no problem, you can come to me anytime in the future!"
Zhang Mai already had a good impression of the future No. [-] midfielder in the world, not to mention that there is still a chance to score at home.
"Thank you Zhang Mai. We are the only two players in the team who have an automatic termination clause. We will help each other a lot in the future."
Kanter stared at Albrighton's leaving back, and said softly to Zhang Mai.
"No problem at all!"
This time it was Zhang Mai's turn to be surprised. He did not expect the simple-looking little black bean Kanter to be so shrewd!
The two formed the "league of those who can leave at any time" in a few words, and Kanter then gave up the free throw position.
The referee whistled, and Zhang Mai put on his left foot this time, took five steps back and took a step to the left. Kanter was watching Zhang Mai's movements carefully like a primary school student.
Zhang Mai started the run-up, tightened the instep of his left foot, hit the middle of the ball with the joint of the instep and the inner arch of the foot, and pulled it upward slightly. With a "bang", the ball passed the wall and went straight to the crossbar of the goal, almost approaching the crossbar Then it suddenly fell and got into the upper right corner of the goal.
Sunderland's goalkeeper Pantelimon stood on the left side of the goal, stunned and did not respond, and cursed F××× in his heart, isn't this NM Ronaldo's elevator ball!
"See if the ball is too fast, the distance is too short, and it is pulled up too much, it will turn the fallen leaves into an elevator!"
Zhang Mai proudly showed off to Kanter.
Amidst the cheers from the audience again, the Sunderland players on the field were stupefied and the Leicester City players were elated, but Zhang Mai and Kanter gathered at the penalty spot to discuss technical details.
6:2!After the re-kick-off, the referee quickly let go of the Sunderland team that had suffered such a catastrophe. The two whistles of "Didi" ended the game. The home team Leicester beat their opponents and got off to a good start!
"Two goals in 10 minutes, this is Zhang Mai's first Premier League result. Although he only played in the last 10 minutes, Zhang Mai has shown a performance that is not inferior to anyone. We believe that Leicester City will reuse Zhang Mai, and we also firmly believe that , with Zhang Mai joining the Huaguo national football team, it will definitely make a breakthrough in the Asian World Cup! Good! The live broadcast of the first round of the Premier League 2015-2016 season between Leicester City and Sunderland is over, and it is now At 10:[-], I wish the audience good night and goodbye!"
Zhan Jun bragged about Zhang Mai's free kick just now, and his voice was hoarse, so Huang Tao could only make the final summary of the live broadcast.
Fans in Huaguo stayed on for 80 minutes, and finally saw Zhang Mai's two wonderful goals, and felt that everything was worth it. In the quiet of the night, Huaguo fans were full of joy!
In the King Power Stadium, Sunderland's defeated team hurriedly left the field, and the remaining fans and players celebrated together. Every player in Leicester City became a star on the field, and Zhang Mai, the "Prince of the Eastern Elf", The most eye-catching.
Ranieri has just learned that the first round of the Premier League is over, and Leicester City ranked first in the league with the most goals, which made the always gloomy "tinker" smile a little bit.
However, Ranieri couldn't help but frowned when he saw that Zhang Mai, who was like a star holding the moon, caused the female fans to scream again.
Players who are too ostentatious are destined not to go far, not to mention that they are still so young, Zhang Mai, I am doing it for you!
It seems that "for your own good" will be the culprit for Zhang Mai's failure to start. It can openly cover up the conservativeness, rigidity, aversion to youth and change of an elderly Italian, and even the inexplicable malice towards Orientals.
