At Chelsea, head coach Conte sent out his strongest lineup to face the opponent.
"Goalkeeper: Caballero"
"Three central defenders: Rüdiger, Christensen, Azpilicueta"
"Four midfielders: Marcos Alonso, Bakayoko, Kanté, Moses"
"Two attacking midfielders: Hazard and Willian"
"Lone striker: Su Luo!"
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd, the match officially began!!
The first team to go on the attack was naturally Leicester City.
Undeniably, Leicester had only one goal tonight—to win at home.
Just moments after kickoff, Leicester's players applied tremendous pressure on Chelsea's goal.
Midfielder Mahrez showcased his exceptional individual ability, especially his unstoppable dribbling down the wing.
When Mahrez charged forward, few players could stop him.
On the flank, he continued accelerating, hoping to use his speed advantage to break through the defense.
But unfortunately—
He ran into Azpilicueta.
As everyone knows, Azpilicueta's defensive ability is top-tier, and he is also incredibly quick.
With Azpilicueta blocking him, Mahrez had no way through.
In the end, he was dispossessed, and Chelsea immediately launched a counterattack.
As we all know, Chelsea has always been known for its speed, and their counterattacks are lightning-fast.
As soon as Azpilicueta won possession, he quickly passed the ball to Kanté in midfield.
The moment Kanté received the ball, he was immediately pressed by Iborra and Ndidi.
These two defensive midfielders are known for their strong pressing and intensity, giving Kanté no space to dribble forward.
With no other choice, Kanté had to release the ball quickly, sending it to Hazard in the frontcourt.
After all, Kanté's main role is defensive, while Hazard is responsible for leading the attack!!
As expected, once Hazard got the ball, he burst forward like a flash of lightning.
In an instant, he effortlessly shook off multiple defenders!
Despite the efforts of Danny Simpson and Wes Morgan, who immediately tried to block him, Hazard was simply too fast.
With a sudden change of pace, he accelerated again and broke free in an instant!!
He left his opponents with no chance at all.
Danny Simpson even tried grabbing Hazard's jersey, but Hazard didn't give him the opportunity.
With another decisive burst of speed, Hazard completed the breakthrough in the blink of an eye.
Now—
Hazard had reached the edge of the penalty area!!
Of course, Leicester's defenders could not afford to be careless.
Seeing Hazard's advance, Maguire and Chilwell immediately closed in to try and stop him!!
At this moment—
Hazard was like a streak of lightning, moving with unstoppable momentum.
In a split second—
He created space, didn't hesitate, and fired a shot directly at goal!
