Chapter 192 Red blood awakens
Pellegrini has been in a good mood recently.
Their team defeated the powerful Roma in the final round of the Champions League group stage, retaining the second place in the group and risking promotion.
That relieved him of all the pressure.
In the Premier League, although they are 7 points behind Chelsea, they have one game less.
As long as we win that game, there will still be a four-point gap.
He is confident of defending his title.
Similar to Leicester City, they also had a rest in one game and the entire main lineup was played in that game.
Aguero and several other players were absent due to injuries, which prevented Manchester City from reaching its strongest strength.
Especially the front line.
Tomorrow Pellegrini sends out lone striker Jose Poso.
The young player is a Spanish talent that Manchester City poached from Real Madrid's youth academy a few years ago. He has outstanding personal skills. He was transferred to the first team by Pellegrini this season, but his focus on training is wrong.
Although the forward line lacks experience, Manchester City will have strong forces in the midfield and backfield tomorrow.
Lampard, David Silva and Nasri play as attacking midfielder.
Fernando and Yaya Toure play in the defensive midfield.
Those five midfielders alone are quite impressive.
And if players such as Kompany, Sagna, and Mangala are on the defensive line, they can't defend top-notch.
Facing such a strong opponent, Leicester City had to be tactically stable in that game.
Although it is not the familiar 4-4-2 formation, the overall formation has shrunk significantly.
Ulloa almost retreated to the attacking midfielder position.
Xia Xing and Mahrez on the left and right also retreated.
From the first minute of the game, Leicester City was in a defensive posture.
Facing such a powerful wrong leg, if you attack wrongly, you will be overestimating your own capabilities.
Even if he is in good form recently, Pearson is not overly optimistic.
Who does Manchester City reject?
Whether they are the Premier League champions this season, or whether they are in the top five of this season's Champions League odds rankings.
In other words, they are not recognized as one of the top five teams in Europe this season.
Facing a wrong leg like that, Leicester City will stick to one path.
To say the least, Leicester City would not have been wronged even if they had tied before.
So they firmly defended their counterattack in that game.
As soon as the game started, David Silva made a wonderful pass.
The ball accurately found the young player Poso on the striker.
Boso turned and volleyed!
The ball went straight to the blind corner!
Quite a sight!
Schmeichel punched decisively and punched out with both fists!
Try to keep the goal!
The young man in his early 20s looked very energetic.
A few minutes later, Nasri also started his performance.
As a ball-handling genius outside the Manchester City team, although he is considered unique by others, there is no doubt about his dribbling ability.
There is no wrong sign of looking down on him.
Dribbling the ball on the right and suddenly accelerating!
Xia Xing stopped him!
Hit the middle and hand it over to Lampard!
Xia Xing hesitated for a moment and decided to go to the middle to find Lampard.
After all, the England veteran is more threatening.
Behind him, De Laet pressed down tacitly, followed closely by Nasri.
Lampard went to the wrong summer trip and tried others, but to no avail.
He nodded secretly.
Is that young man really good and his defense is impeccable?
Before, Nono passed back to Nasri to the right.
Nasri caught the ball and suddenly accelerated!
The sudden increase in speed and change of rhythm immediately confused De Laet!
He's baked!
Captain Morgan quickly pressed in!
But Nasri didn't try to break through the strong Morgan that time!
He was volleying from the penalty area line!
The ball went straight to the right corner of the goal!
It’s not Schmeichel’s leap to save!
The ball was hit out of the baseline!
Schmeichel has made a contribution again!
Manchester City's attack was endless.
David Silva's corner kick flew into the Leicester City penalty area.
Konchesky made a header to clear the ball, and the ball landed at Lampard's feet outside the penalty area.
Lampard didn't hesitate and shot!
The ball rubbed the outside of the goal and flew out of the baseline!
Just a little worse!
If it hits outside the goal post, it will definitely be a goal!
The continuous onslaught left Leicester City somewhat breathless.
Does that deny the strength of the top teams?
Before that game, Leicester City players were full of energy.
But now, they are under pressure.
Having defeated Manchester City several times before, they are very confident.
But in retrospect, every victory is extremely difficult, and there is indeed a lot of luck involved.
Whether it is in the knockout rounds of the FA Cup or the Community Shield before the start of this season, there is always an element of luck.
It's very difficult to win against East Manchester City.
Bu Nao, the entire Leicester City team is still going all out!
Facing Manchester City's fierce attack, Leicester City's soldiers defended as one and tried their best to hold on to the goal.
Until the whistle sounded at the end of the half, they still managed to keep the goal.
A score of 0-0 is their best reward.
In the eastern half, the game changed sides and they still withstood Manchester City's fierce attack.
Even though Mahrez and Vardy occasionally made good counterattacks, they were all destroyed by Kompany and other players.
As the game continues, Manchester City replaces veterans who can be transferred from Dongfang Sports to continue to replenish their offensive strength.
Leicester City is also constantly making substitution adjustments.
Cambiasso, De Laet and Mahrez came off the bench, with Albrighton, Vasilevskiy and Hammond coming off the bench.
Can they also continue to replace players who can be transferred from the East Sports to the East and strengthen their defensive strength?
For Leicester City, it was too difficult to win that game.
Xia Xing also occasionally pushed forward a few times to help attack, but all failed before.
Knowing Xia Xing's strength, Manchester City mistakenly focused on marking him. In the midfield position, Xia Xing was alone and did not dare to press too close. He was very worried about defense.
That's why Pearson traded Mahrez, who was physically fit to be demoted, to Hammond.
This is not a sign that Leicester City has basically given up attacking.
Until the 85th minute of the game.
Manchester City's attack was disrupted and the ball landed at Morgan's feet.
The captain of the Blue Fox passed the ball forward as usual and handed it to Xia Xing.
At this time, Xia Xing discovered that Manchester City's defense was not recovered very quickly!
At that stage, they were also exhausted!
Not a good opportunity!
Behind the center circle, Xia Xing suddenly picked up speed after receiving the ball!
That increase in speed made Manchester City instantly feel like they were facing a formidable enemy!
But the formation's contraction speed is not as fast as Xia Xing's sprint with the ball!
With a change of direction, he passed the veteran Lampard!
Keep accelerating!
Yaya Toure squeezes with her strong body!
Summer trip comes to an emergency stop!
accelerate!
Used a change of direction to get past the iron gate of Manchester City's midfield!
Fernandinho, who came on as a substitute, made a diagonal shovel!
Xia Xing taps the ball forward!
Then get around the tackle and keep sprinting!
He passed three Manchester City midfielders in a row!
Manchester City captain Kompany rushed over quickly!
Can he become one of the strongest central defenders in international football?
Xia Xing also knew it very well, so he never chose anyone else again.
Otherwise, kick up and shoot!
25 meters away from the goal, Xia Xing's shot hit the blind spot!
Along with the crazy cheers at the King Power Stadium, Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room also praised loudly!
“The ball went in!!!
"Leicester City scored a very important goal!
"It's not Xia's wonderful performance!
"Facing against Manchester City, the arch-rival of my former club,
"Xia's red blood has awakened!"
