Vardy's Dagger: City Plunges to Third
In the moment Silva clutched his head, having missed the decisive chance, the eyes of Hermannsen, who had seized the ball, changed.
88th minute of the second half.
"Huh? The keeper! No hesitation—he hurls it long! Long throw! It connects perfectly beyond the halfway line to Vardy!"
What the—?
I instinctively kicked into gear. Vardy, who had looked like he was on his last legs just moments ago, was now sprinting madly toward the box. Ignoring the searing pain in my lungs like they were about to burst, I chased after him.
"Leicester's counter! Vardy! Vardy charges forward! Ryan's pursuing at insane speed from way back there!"
Akanji threw himself into a bold sliding tackle to halt Vardy's run.
"Akanji's tackle! Vardy trips! Ah, but...!"
Even as he fell, Vardy planted his hand on the ground and popped right back up like a jack-in-the-box. The ref's signals quickened.
"No whistle from the ref! Advantage! Advantage called!"
Rúben Dias, who had been solidly holding the backline, narrowed the angle to press Vardy. But Vardy dismantled Dias's balance with a single, crisp feint, recreating his prime movement.
"Vardy! Even Dias beaten! One-on-one with the keeper! Vardy shoots—!"
Splash—!
"GOAL!!!! Jamie Vardy! Leicester City takes the lead again! Score: 2-1!"
"Wow... chills. Is that the same guy who was limping moments ago? That's Jamie Vardy for you! City dominated, but one counter douses them in ice water!"
I stopped in my tracks, staring blankly at the ball rippling the net. What the actual fuck. Vardy sprinted toward the Leicester fans, unleashing his signature maniacal celebration.
"Man City falls silent, doused in cold water. Pep's face is frozen, and Ryan can't hide his devastation."
***
Dried up. Completely dried up. The final whistle blew. Peeep— peeep— peeeep—!
"Second half ends. Leicester City claims 3 points at home against Man City!"
"A bitter result for Man City. Without Rodri, Ryan fought valiantly, but it'll leave a sour taste."

At the same time, the final whistles blew at the Emirates and Anfield. Even more shocking results for Man City.
Man City, clinging to 1st by a single point on thin ice, tumbled to 3rd, 2 points back, in just one match.

Aigoo~ Strutting at 1st like the air's sweet, then drops to 3rd in one game? Pissing yourselves over Grandpa Vardy, how you gonna stop Arsenal with a 1-pt lead? Now 2-pt deficit, fake cunts Check the table. That's the difference in roots.

If Rodri was there, he'd cut that Vardy counter and score the winner Ryu Rion just gives everything away unless holding from behind. Thanks, Arsenal takes 1st~ FakeCity walk the 3rd path ^^

Articles flooding in over just one loss. That's Man City's weight. No need to cower because Pep's tactics failed—everyone loses eventually. How we prepare for the next is key.

Football Association President's office. President Kim Myeonggyu stared blankly out the window before slowly turning to Chief Secretary Lee Cheol-woo, who stood holding a stack of documents.
Kim Myeonggyu set down his teacup and spoke.
"It's been a while, hasn't it, Chief Secretary Lee?"
Lee Cheol-woo doubted his ears for a second. Barely keeping the tablet from slipping, he asked back.
"Pardon? You saw me yesterday, sir. We even had dinner together."
Kim Myeonggyu's brow twitched faintly. He turned back to the window and let out a short, sharp fake cough.
"Ahem... ahem. Nothing... forget it."
"Ah... yes. Sorry."
Perplexed but bowing anyway, Lee did so. Kim Myeonggyu tapped the documents to hide his embarrassment and changed the subject.
"Anyway, finish the report. What's the mood outside?"
Lee Cheol-woo's face darkened instantly. He swiped through the tablet and began.
"Not good. Public opinion hasn't budged despite our rebuttal statement."
Kim Myeonggyu's eyebrow twitched.
"Sigh. Since when did the Culture Ministry care so much about football? What about Coach Yoon Seungwoo?"
"Coach Yoon ignores the noise, keeps evaluating players, and plans to announce the November away squad soon."
"If we win both away games in November, opinion might turn. Hope Yoon pulls through."
Kim Myeonggyu sank deep into the sofa. The rhythmic tapping of his fingers on the desk filled the room.
