Confrontation “Lester” and “Chelsea” Claudio Ranieri and Jose Mourinho has closed the 16th round of the championship of the English Premier League. Goals James Vardi and Riyadh Marez brought the “foxes” three points and retained their top spot in the standings.
«Leicester City” – “Chelsea” – 2: 1
To match with her perhaps the most basic contender among fellow coaches Jose Mourinho came in a good mood. His “Chelsea” this season is winning the league strictly once a month, and in December, the blue of his mentor still not pleased, but the week managed to beat the “Porto” and get into the playoffs of the Champions League.
And then the confrontation with Claudio Ranieri, of which are particularly always spoke in ironic and scornful manner, often referring to the Italian loser.
However, this time on a loser is more like himself was Jose because of his “Chelsea” was ahead of the game in one points from the relegation zone, while “Lester” suddenly started the season brightly and led the table. In order to keep the lead, was not admitted to the first line of “Arsenal”, “fox” had to beat “Chelsea”.
Mourinho threw the first minutes of this time to fight Diego Costa, however, he left the bench of tired Cesc Fabregas, and as a dispatcher for the Blues striker played Oscar, Hazard, Willian, Matic and Ramirez.
However, they are not attracted attention from the very beginning. Already in the second minute of one of the most exciting players, “Lester” Riyad Marez scattered all “blue” defense, and only the skill and composure Thibaut Courtois saved “Chelsea” of trouble.
16 minutes minute for the hosts became anxious when the damage was, and was replaced by Andy King Daniel Drinkwater. However, Mourinho and the team has not been without problems, and after an hour playing turf had to prematurely leave Eden Hazard, replaced in the field Pedro.
«Lester” by this time the hosts had looked interesting, so it is hardly surprising that soon the “foxes” succeeded. And organized a goal all the same Marez and Jamie Vardy. Winger made cutting the supply to the right on the line goalie, where quick all jumped scorer, who took one touch to start a new productive series.
«Chelsea” replied immediately, with the ball greeted the crossbar owners – Nemanja Matic is above all in the box and jumped on a corner Willian. But in general, “Lester” was much sharper and more interesting, and his superiority to the break seemed logical – “Chelsea” did not even hit the target.
The beginning of the second half came out very refreshed. First yellow card after a clash with Diego Costa was rolled under him as Vardi!
But two minutes later eclipsed all actions Marez. Offensively, “Lester” After some inquiries on the left wing, Marc Albrighton smartly moved the ball Riad in the box, and he playfully rocked Cesar Azpilicueta, and then launched the ball to the far post.
«Chelsea» hands not dropped. And first of all I did not do that the team coach. Mourinho was furious after the second ball and then thrown in Fabregas, removing from the field John Terry.
With the release of the Spanish playmaker game on the field has changed dramatically. “Chelsea” has created three chances to score in five minutes, but they make the most of it never failed.
Along the way the referee did not see even the game Diego Costa’s hand in his own penalty, which gave the game an exciting ending, because in 78 minutes, Loïc Rémy, had already managed to ruin a chance to respond to the flow of Pedro and shot Kasper Schmeichel into focus.
In the end Mark Clattenburg gave “Chelsea” five minutes of added time, but to no avail the defending champion of this extract has failed and has been leader of the championship a bit.
«Lester,” Claudio Ranieri, Jamie Vardy and Riyadh Marez continue not surprising, and perhaps shock the football Europe, while the “Chelsea” with Mourinho and a scattering of stars continues to not less than an unexpected dive …
