Chapter 87 Breaker!
A few days before that game, Pearson had made tactical arrangements for the players.
"In that game, he begged us to play with the characteristics of the English Championship!"
The players were stunned for a moment and quickly reacted.
"How about just kicking me to death?"
"That's right!"
"Hahaha!"
The players burst into laughter.
Pearson patted a document in his lap.
"Tell us a news,
"The referee of that game was not a Premier League referee, but a Championship referee, Thompson.
“I don’t know why the FA arranged it like that, but if he knew it well, it would be to their advantage!
"Referees in the English Championship are used to making large-scale penalties, and it has already been deeply rooted in their bones.
"Even if the FA asks them to be stricter, they can't help but relax.
“So he begged us to be more aggressive in that game!
"Use the unique method of the English Championship team to mispay the team that claims to win the quadruple crown!
"They have stepped on their shoulders to win the League Cup.
“They must not let them step on them to win the FA Cup again!
"It's his fault that Manchester City has never been fond of him.
"So they have to win against them!"
As soon as Pearson finished speaking, De Laet next to him clapped his hands and stood up excitedly.
"Boss! If I don't like Manchester City, they will never be friends!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Pearson couldn't laugh or cry: "The passionate atmosphere he managed to create was completely messed up by my guy."
Shakespeare on the side smiled and nodded.
Since that season, Pearson has changed a lot.
He is not as harsh as before, he gets along more harmoniously with the players, and the players dare to make jokes in front of him.
Everything is going in the best direction, which is great.
After receiving the coach's request, the Leicester City soldiers were united in that game.
From the first minute of the game, they were determined to fight Manchester City.
A series of vicious tackles made it impossible for Manchester City's technical football to be effective.
The tough impact in the midfield even caused Manchester City to make two mistakes and even almost conceded the ball.
That made Pellegrini very unhappy on the sidelines!
He shouted the names of Han Xuan's players and told them to get hard!
Especially Yaya Toure, who was very dissatisfied with his dark and tough performance!
"Ture! Harder! What am I going to do?"
Hearing Pellegrini's shout, Yaya Toure did not reply.
He was in a bad mood.
Don't target the wrong head coach, but target the wrong teammates.
So what kind of bullshit are you playing?
Just ask the wrong side to press harder and your teammates will concede the ball?
What are we doing?
Don’t you want to play that game well?
Oh, he turned red.
Do we want to stay strong and strive to appear in the Champions League and the league?
So why was he a starter in that game?
Fxxk!
Just as he was catching the ball and preparing to move forward, Yaya Toure bumped directly into him!
Xia Xing dialed the ball and turned halfway, keeping the ball still out of his control.
Give half of the back to Yaya Toure.
His strength is 85, is he afraid of me?
When Xia Xing was knocked to the ground by Yaya Toure, he realized the gap between himself and the wrong leg.
That guy's strength must be 95...
The referee's whistle sounded, Yaya Toure fouled, and Leicester City's man missed the ball.
Yaya Toure was a little dissatisfied and complained to the referee: "They kicked so hard just now and there was no foul. Why did he foul when he made a reasonable collision?"
The referee frowned, and without saying a word, he just took out the cards!
Yellow card warning!
Yaya Toure is furious!
He wanted to say something, but was pulled aside by captain Kompany.
"Why should I provoke the referee?"
"He punished Bu Yuanping!"
"If I get a penalty, what will they do if they come back?"
"..."
"Control your emotions!"
"good……"
Yaya Toure took a deep breath and stopped shutting up.
Fxxk!
Although he was unhappy, Yaya Toure also knew the appropriateness and did not show off to the referee.
After coming to the east for a while, Yaya Toure's defensive state obviously deteriorated.
After all, Yaya Toure didn't want to be penalized even though he had a yellow card.
Leicester City became more and more courageous as they fought, relying on their crazy defense to frequently disrupt Manchester City's midfield passing and control.
At the half-time whistle, neither side scored a goal.
At halftime, Pearson praised everyone's performance.
"Man City are at their wits end! Just keep going!"
Pierson called Xia Xing, Mahrez and Vardy aside alone.
"In the east half, we looked for opportunities to attack and made the final decision!"
"good!"
The three of them had firm expressions.
The east half changed sides and the battle resumed, Leicester City still defended desperately.
Especially the defense in the middle is airtight.
Hammond and Schlupp, who started that game, were extremely aggressive.
As a substitute player, he was able to start in that much-requested game, which they cherished very much.
So I went all out to implement the head coach's arrangements.
Drinkwater controlled the midfield rhythm of the game.
The best performer was Qiu Shu Xia Xing.
Since absorbing the Gattuso card, Xia Xing's steal attribute has increased to 75.
That level is already quite good.
Especially if combined with 85 strength, 82 reflexes, 85 speed, 89 explosive power, and 90 fitness, he is absolutely perfect for Leicester City's midfield today.
It doesn't seem that strong, but if Xia Xing appears in front of him, the Manchester City players won't be able to pass!
The game lasted until the 70th minute, and no Manchester City player successfully dribbled past Xia Xing!
When he once again intercepted the ball from Nasri's feet, the commentators in the live broadcast room couldn't help but admire him.
"If you look at that game alone, Xiao is definitely a very qualified defensive midfielder!
"Who would have thought that he wouldn't be an offensive leg with super impact and excellent ball control?"
No, no one has thought of that anymore.
Especially Manchester City players.
In the 79th minute of the game, just after Manchester City had just completed their substitution adjustments, Leicester City's fast break suddenly came!
Xia Xing decisively put down the shovel and knocked down Navas who was breaking through on the wing!
Manchester City's midfield line had just been preparing to attack when it came to an abrupt halt!
At this time in the frontcourt, Mahrez has accelerated!
Xia Xing made a long pass and went straight to the right!
"Leicester City's counterattack is coming!
"Mahrez received the ball deftly and moved forward quickly!
"Xavi Garcia cuts into the defense!
"Mahrez cuts outside and then suddenly goes wide!
"Change to pass and get rid of Garcia!
"Go straight to the restricted area!
"Only defender Clichy is extremely fast, and Mahrez's path forward is blocked!"
"Hit the middle!
"Vardy gets the ball!
"Mahrez continues to push forward, do they want a one-two?
"Vardy passed the ball!
"The ball suddenly passed to the left!
"Who is there?
"No!
“After he passed the ball to Mahrez, he had already reached the penalty area at high speed!
“Clap the horse and rush to catch the ball!
"I'm volleying from the penalty area line!
"The ball goes straight into the right corner of the goal!
"The ball went in!
"In the 80th minute of the game, Leicester City finally broke the deadlock!
"Xia performed so well in that game!
"His excellent defense makes him a disruptor for Manchester City's offense!
"And now, he has become Leicester City's game-breaker!
"1 to 0!
"Leicester City are just ten minutes away from a miracle!"
