531. This is football

Guedti was able to come and say sorry to himself, making Wensheng look at him very high, and Wensheng was in a good mood for several days. Then Leicester City arrived as scheduled. The schedule was tormenting from Christmas to winter window. Manchester City did not have much time to arrange the game in the second half of the season. Taking advantage of a full week, the league arranged this game in the middle of the week. This is not a good thing for Manchester City. After all, they still have a heavyweight game on January 18th - the home game against Arsenal will be played. It would be great if there was a full week for everyone to take a breath.

Also for Leicester City, this may not be a good thing. Including the FA Cup, they have basically played double games in a week since the Boxing Day game. They are also unable to bear it, but the schedule is not easy to arrange. Whether it is them or Manchester City, they can only accept it.

The head coach of Leicester City is still Nigel Pearson, the native head coach of England, has been his coaching career since 1998, but he was unknown most of the time. In 2011, he took office as head coach of Leicester City for the second time. This time he successfully brought Leicester City into the Premier League and was appreciated by Thai bosses. If West Blumwich's boss is suspected of being eager for quick success, then Leicester City's Thai boss is definitely a good boss, because Leicester City is now ranked last.

Shortly after the start of this season, Leicester has never left the relegation zone. When other bosses change, they have already used Pearson to sacrifice flags. But the Thai boss is really calm and is still giving Pearson a chance. I don’t know if it is because Pearson is a hero of the upgrade or something else.

Without Vardy, Pearson still led Leicester City to complete the upgrade, which shows that this old fry is still very good at it.

Before the game, Pearson said at the press conference, "I heard that Manchester City's Etihad Stadium is one of the most modern stadiums in England, but we didn't visit there, we went there to compete!"

Using this sentence to express their determination, Leicester City is actually not afraid of strong teams. It is a bit strange to say. How do you say Leicester City's performance this season? They are not the worst in the relegation team, and they are not the worst in the defense, but the points are indeed the worst. Analyzing their game, they can easily see one of their characteristics. They are not afraid of strong teams, but they are not good at teams of the same level. It is not easy to score points on strong teams, and they cannot get cheaper on weak teams, so points naturally become a problem.

Pearson's requirements for coming to Etihad Stadium are not high, just one point is enough, so his team is basically in a defensive state, lacking control, and the situation is basically controlled by Manchester City. However, Pearson obviously has special research on several offensive modes of Manchester City. He attaches special importance to defense in the middle. Leicester City's defensive intensity is very strong and there are many fouls. Manchester City frequently gets set pieces, but the utilization rate of set pieces is very low.

The game time is almost over. In the injury time, Manchester City's 11th corner kick in the game. De Bruyne's pass caused chaos in Leicester City's penalty area. As a result, their central defender Upson accidentally scored his own own. In the end, Manchester City relied on the opponent's own to complete the final shot and scored a thrilling three-pointer.

Wensheng was very surprised by Leicester's tenacity. After the game, he always said that his opponent was tenacious and it was not easy to win. This kind of thing is often empty talk, but this time he was sincere. Leicester City was indeed very tenacious. Logically speaking, they have been in the relegation zone for too long. The players have psychologically developed the negative thought of "We are just bad!", which is difficult to reflect a tenacious style in defense.

"I have the joy of surviving the disaster!" Wen Sheng expressed this emotion when facing the reporter. "To be honest, it is normal for the team to experience such ups and downs after a long period of overload. I once thought we could not win this game, but today the goddess of luck stood on our side! We won a little luck, and they may deserve a reward of one point!"

"I hope Mr. Pearson doesn't mind. This is football. Sometimes the side who performs well may not win the game! Of course, I also think that three-pointers belong to us are also a reasonable possibility, and we are constantly attacking!"

Of course Pearson was very concerned, but no matter how much he was worried, it was useless. Wensheng said it well, this is football.

Far from London, Mourinho was very angry. He was always paying attention to Manchester City's record. In this game, Leicester City almost became Chelsea's friend, but now it seems that they are not friends!

What's even more interesting is that Leinker. Leinker himself is a Leicester and is also a Leicester youth training producer. He is also the greatest star in Leicester City's history and a super fan. Seeing that Leicester City lost a point, he was very unwilling to accept it and actually called Wensheng to express his feelings.

"I deeply sympathize with Leicester City's experience! I also deeply sympathize with your resentment, but this is football! I think this may indicate that we can eventually reverse Chelsea and win the championship!" Leinker was in a bad mood, but Wensheng was in a very happy mood.

After saying that, Wensheng was still a little worried, after all, Arsenal was coming.

Guideti obviously had already agreed with Arsenal. Just after the Leicester City game, Arsenal and Manchester City reached an agreement on transfer fees, but Wensheng deliberately asked the club to delay the transfer. Why? He didn't want to face Guideti next game against Arsenal, so he simply waited until the game was completed before confirming the deal.

It was obvious that everything was agreed, but Manchester City was deliberately hanging. How could Wenger not guess Wensheng's meaning?

"You are so "smart"?!" Wenger couldn't help but complain about him when he was on the phone.

"I should be so smart. No one can give you the player under such circumstances!" Wen Sheng said with a serious verbal statement.

In addition to Guideti's transfer, Dzeko also clarified his ideas. He rejected Juventus' idea of ​​loaning, so he also replied to Wensheng seriously, saying that he would think about his future after the season ended.

In fact, Wen Sheng's attitude has changed recently, and he is becoming more and more inclined to Dzeko that he is considering transfers in the summer. The team also needs people in the second half of the season. Dzeko is still a very good player, but his condition this season is a little unfavorable, which makes his data look a bit miserable.

But the connection between Dzeko and Juventus has not been broken. Juventus is still interested in Dzeko, and they may take action again in the summer.
