Chapter 111: Leicester (3)

Rustan's failure to execute the ball made Kazuki shake his head. Rustan looked in a hurry to kick the ball. He was less of calm, causing his kick to be lack of aimed. A wasted opportunity. However, time was still long, Southampton still hadn't lost.

In the 21st minute, Ryan's breakthrough failed. Daniel Aimerte managed to make a clean tackle to tackle Ryan. Then, the Leicester right-back immediately took the ball and passed it to Kante. Bennet tried to annoy Kante, but the smiling friendly player tricked Bennet into pretending to provide a pass when he doesn't touch the ball at all. That kept the ball rolling, while Kante took advantage of Bennet's interrupted moment to chase the ball.

Kante then kicked the ball with his tips. The ball moved to the figure of Ayoze Perez, who was ready to welcome the ball. In the next second, when Ayoze was preparing to receive the ball, Rudolf immediately hit Ayoze with his body so that the Fox midfielder was lying on the ground.

For violations this time, the referee did not hesitate to issue a yellow card. Rudolf was angry, he felt a warning should be more suitable for the current situation than a yellow card. However, the referee, who saw Rudolf's intentional in bringing down Perez, did not want to compromise with Rudolf.

A futile foul ends with a yellow card. Rudolf was felt guilty. He did not think his fad action would harm Southampton. By getting a yellow card, Rudolf must be careful in violating other players. This means, Leicester will deliberately target Rudolf. If Rudolf committed a foul, there was a possibility of a red card, but if Rudolf did not commit a foul then Leicester could score. An ideal situation for Leicester at the moment.

In the 28th minute, Leicester managed to take advantage of Rudolf's yellow card well. The attack was initiated by Fofana's long pass, the central defender into the midfield. Ayoze received the ball, then he faced Rudolf. In front of Southampton's defensive midfielder, Ayoze made several step-overs before displaying a rather provocative display of skill, then Ayoze edged past Rudolf. Rudolf had a hard time keeping Ayoze on, very difficult to play while being careful not to commit a foul.

Ayoze who managed to get past Rudolf's figure immediately provided a breakthrough ball to Adama Traore. With great speed and positioning, Adama managed to outpace Hilton and Okhalo. Then he gave a powerful shot to the right. This time, his shot was so precise that Dean Smith failed to parry the ball. Adama managed to score the first goal for Leicester in this match.

"Amazing! Beautiful move from Ayoze. He sent a measured pass to Adama Traore. Luckily, Adama did a great job. He scored his first goal of the season. Leicester beat Southampton 1-0."

Kazuki really struggled to get the moment in the first 30 minutes, Nigel's way of guarding Kazuki really worked. First, he put Kante in front of Bennet, so Kante would always interfere Bennet in giving Kazuki a pass. Second, he placed the two centre-backs level with Kazuki, so that they would both block any passes from either flank.

With blocking from 3 directions, it was very difficult for Kazuki to get a chance. However, players on the wings should be able to take advantage of this Leicester strategy to use the wings' area more aggressively as that was Leicester's weakest point.

In the 35th minute, Southampton tried to take advantage of the wings. Benson stepped forward. He along with Ryan worked together to break into the left side of Leicester. With Simone's help, they managed to defeat Aimerte's figure. When Ryan entered the penalty box, Fofana who was guarding Kazuki on the left had to move slightly to the left to guard Ryan.

That's where the opportunity comes. Kazuki who was only guarded by Evans, instantly moved towards a steady position. Ryan took a good look at Kazuki's movements. He then gave Kazuki a flat pass. The Japanese player adjusted his posture and kicked the ball firmly into the left corner. Kasper Schmeichel failed to catch the ball. Southampton managed to equalize.

"Good! A great kick as usual, sent by Kazuki to find the net. Southampton managed to equalize before the whistle sounded. There are still 10 minutes more before the first half is over. There is still a possibility this score will change."

Southampton's players celebrated the goal happily. Being able to score a goal means that there was still a chance to win. Furthermore, Southampton had a chance to achieve 5 consecutive wins in the Premier League.

The game continued after Leicester started the first half kick-off. They were not in a rush to attack Southampton. Southampton's counter-attack was threatening enough, so Leicester had to be careful. In contrast, Leicester's players now had the ball and make short passes in midfield.

Leicester just attacked in the 43rd minute. Daniel Aimerte suddenly ran into the middle of the field. Kante immediately gave the ball to him. Simone tried to stop him, but Aimerte gave a pass to Drinkwater. Escaped from Simone's guard, Drinkwater immediately dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty box.

He gave a short pass to Adama. The striker found his position a bit awkward, so he returned the pass with a back-pass. Receiving the ball from Adama, Drinkwater kicked the ball from the front line of the penalty box. The quality of his shots was good, but Dean Smith's saves was better

The Southampton goalkeeper managed to catch the ball. Leicester's attack ended there. Until the first half ended, The Fox did not attack again. Southampton also failed to launch an attack. The 1-1 score was maintained until the referee sounded the whistle.

At halftime, George made some changes. First, he entered Orlando to replace Rudolf, who received a yellow card. Then he entered Kounde to replace Bennett. It must be admitted that Bennet's performance under Kante's defense was really unsatisfactory. Therefore, George entered Kounde and then swapped Kounde's position with Ryan so that the young player could appear to replace Bennet in the middle.

As discussed earlier, Ryan and Kazuki were two young players who put on a steady performance. Even though Ryan didn't display ability as good as Kazuki, but he was definitely useful in every match.

The second half started with a kick-off by Southampton. In this second half, Southampton still played patiently. They only carried out a trial attack that ended in failure. Then the ball was then taken over by Leicester City.

In front of their fans, The Fox appeared aggressive in the second half. In the 49th minute, Leicester launched an attack. Drinkwater, Ayoze Perez and Mahrez formed a triangle. Then they worked together to break down Southampton's defense on the left. Perez gave a gouged pass to Mahrez who penetrated into the penalty box. Then, a volley was launched by Mahrez from the left side of the penalty box.

However, the ball was caught well by Southampton goalkeeper, Dean Smith.. Then, Southampton's counter-attack came.
