Leicester City vs Queens Park Rangers (Away Game)
Leicester City Formation: (4-4-2)
Queens Park Rangers Formation: (3-4-3)
Dexter Blackstock, QPR's young striker, in a previous interview:
"We're not underestimating Leicester City. We'll give it our best, and maybe we'll beat them 3-0 like we did before!" Dexter Blackstock spoke with confidence: "We're sure they won't be able to do anything, especially now that we're playing at home!"
Queens Park Rangers head coach John Gregory:
"We're going all out. I know Leicester City's tactics very well! We're going to win big, not just 3-0! We'll crush them with more than 3-0!"
Commentator:
"Only 10 minutes in and Leicester City is already in trouble, they're stuck playing in their own half, a long ball from Queens Park Rangers goes straight to Leicester's penalty area! Dexter Blackstock gets the ball, takes a shot! Up against Leicester's defender! A fake shot! He fakes and shoots! Dexter Blackstock, the ball's in! Goooal!!!"
The Queens Park Rangers supporters cheer wildly, clearly overjoyed. It doesn't take long for them to declare that QPR is far stronger than Leicester City.
Rob Kelly, Leicester City coach:
"Fk!"**
Kevin, still on the bench, immediately shows a serious expression. Their strategy was to defend until he could come on in the second half, but now they've already conceded a goal in just 10 minutes.
Rob Kelly:
"Defend! Tackle! Take his legs out!"
Commentator:
"Andy King gets the ball, passes, a quick one-two, shoots from outside the penalty box! Oh, so close! The ball hits the left crossbar! Andy shouts, looking frustrated, what a shame Leicester City couldn't equalize!"
QPR midfielder Martin Rowlands scores just before halftime. Rob Kelly kicks a water bottle in frustration as Leicester concedes again before the break.
The referee blows the halftime whistle.
...
Commentator:
"Substitution at the start of the second half, a young player for Leicester City? Kevin Kraut, a defensive midfielder, only 16 years old, number 32... unbelievable, what is the Leicester manager thinking, bringing in such a young player at a time like this. Wait! Our sources say this kid is being called a genius at Leicester!"
As planned by the coach, Kevin immediately dribbles past two players and passes when he sees an opening, a quick one-two and dribbles again.
Commentator:
"Wow, beautiful move, amazing skill, this kid really is a genius, it's like watching Cristiano!"
The ball nutmegs an opponent, Kevin breaks through and shoots from 35 meters out!
Commentator:
"This is a crazy long-range shot! Gooooal!! Kevin Kraut! Just over a minute on the field and he scores!"
In a dazzling sequence, all players look at Kevin, who effortlessly gets past two players and makes a subtle short pass that goes unnoticed, causing QPR players to grow angry and target Kevin.
Kevin goes down, fouled by the opponent, but the referee only gives a warning.
Andy King:
"He should've been shown a red card!"
Stephen Clemence (Captain):
"Don't get angry, stay calm. This is their home turf... Kevin, you okay?"
Kevin:
"I'm fine, Captain."
Kevin continues with Ronaldinho-style flamboyant moves. As everyone focuses on him, he suddenly passes the ball to Andy King, who blasts it furiously toward the goal from inside the penalty box!
