Chapter 295 Ruo Linyuan Three Possessions! This is it! (Ask for votes!)

At 47 minutes and 38 seconds of the first half, the referee Oliver blew the whistle for the end of the half.

"In the first half of the game, Manchester City had 62% of the ball possession rate. They had an advantage in this respect, but the huge loopholes in the defense made them lose this advantage. Instead, Leicester City gained more. chance to score!"

"Pellegrini is bound to make some adjustments in the second half. The two flanks where Kolarov and Sania are located can be said to have been completely blown away by Chu Zheng and Mahrez's assaults again and again! "

"In fact, relatively speaking, Kolarov's side is not too bad, but the right side of Manchester City, where Sagna is located, has been completely blown away by Chu Zheng. If it weren't for the luck of Leicester City in this game Good, it's 3-1 or 4-1."

"Have you found a pattern?"

"what?"

"It seems that every time Pellegni adjusts Manchester City's defense, Manchester City will lose?"

"Hey, it seems to be true!"

"..."

As soon as the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, Zhang Lu, He Wei, and Xu Yang in Channel [-] Studio immediately conducted a replay analysis of the first half.

On the field, Leicester City players gathered around Chu Zheng, talking and laughing as they walked to the locker room. The atmosphere in the team looked extremely harmonious and friendly.

On the other hand, on Manchester City's side, individual players were downcast and went their own way, and their morale seemed a little low.

The fans of Manchester City in the stands were also much silent compared to the opening period, which formed a very sharp contrast with the fans of Leicester City who were also in the stands at this time.

After 45 minutes in the first half, they already had a bad feeling that they might lose this championship.

Now Manchester City fans can only hope that Pellegrini, whom they trust so much, will make key adjustments to reverse this unfavorable situation.

But based on their understanding of Pellegrini, this is not an easy task.

Since Pellegrini took office, Manchester City fans have found that the Chilean engineer sometimes takes it for granted and is too confident when arranging the starting lineup, and does not make targeted arrangements, which has caused Manchester City to suffer a lot.

Just like Yaya Toure, who has a problematic attitude in the recent games, often walks on the court, and is in a very bad state, but Pellegrini still insists on letting this guy start.

If Pellegni knew what the fans thought, he would definitely shout for injustice.

He really made targeted arrangements today, but he didn't think that Ranieri was such a thug, and even moved the commander Chu Zheng to the side, making his plan completely in vain.

Soon the 15-minute intermission was fleeting.

When countless Manchester City fans saw Fernandinho and Delph among the players on the field, they were overjoyed.

Two players were replaced directly during the intermission, so Pellegni must have made a major adjustment to the tactical strategy.

"Pellegrini used Fernandinho to replace Yaya Toure, who played very limited offense and defense in the first half, with Fernandinho at halftime, and Navas was also replaced by Delph."

"These two substitutions are very wise!" Zhang Lu affirmed, "Although Navas was born as a winger, his performance on the wing is actually the same, just a few tricks, and his performance in the first half Very general, defensive players who are familiar with his breakthrough characteristics can easily limit him, and Ranieri's Leicester City can see today that they have worked hard on this point."

"The replacement of Yaya Toure is completely self-inflicted. He contributed on both ends of the offense and defense in the first half, but it is this lazy attitude of the game. If I were the head coach, I would let him even enter the squad. No!" Xu Yang said with a smile.

"Haha..." Xu Yang's hilarity made He Wei and Zhang Lu happy.

On the field, after the game started, the frontcourt positions of Manchester City players changed.

Sterling came to the right and Delph was on the left.

Soon Pellegrini's substitution adjustments saw the effect.

In fact, the tactical strategy has not changed much, but after the hardness of the midfield has been strengthened, Manchester City's interception and sweeping effects in the midfield have directly improved to a higher level.

In the 49th minute of the game, Leicester City once again stole the ball in the backcourt.

Fox rushed out of the penalty area to save the ball from the sideline, and when he turned around, he saw that Chu Zheng had entered the sidewalk from his ribs and rushed up.

Fox quickly raised his foot and made a straight pass.

The ball went straight in front of Chu Zheng, giving him enough advance.

But Fernandinho quickly appeared on the sidewalk, facing Chu Zheng with a fierce sliding shovel, and the timing of his choice of strike was very subtle.

Before Chu Zheng could touch the ball, the ball was tackled out of the baseline by Fernandinho.

Seeing Fernandinho successfully restricting Chu Zheng, the Manchester City fans in the stands screamed and seemed extremely excited.

God knows how much psychological pressure Chu Zheng put on them in the first half.

Fernandinho's successful blocking this time is the beginning of Manchester City's offensive wave, the horn of offense.

In the 51st minute of the game, Schmeichel was pressed by Aguero on the penalty spot.

In order to avoid digging himself, Schmeichel kicked a long pass to the right the moment Aguero entered the penalty area.

Simpson just unloaded the ball on the right side of the center circle.

Fernando and Delph, who retreated in the frontcourt, quickly flanked Simpson back and forth.

Fernando came along the center line to the wing, cutting off Simpson and Mahrez.

Delph drove Simpson forward.

Simpson was not fooled, and he kept retreating to the sideline after the ball was unloaded.

When Fernando saw that Simpson was not coming up, he immediately rushed up, preparing to trap Simpson on the sideline with Sterling.

After Simpson retreated to the sideline, he saw that Huth had pulled to the same side of the backcourt, and he quickly passed back.

Sterling immediately turned around and continued to press.

Seeing Sterling pouting his butt and rushing forward with that unique ecstasy posture, Huth didn't dare to stick to the ball. He sent a long pass to the ball, looking for Mahrez on the front wing of the center line.

But the height of the hasty long pass was not pulled up, and Fernando, who was next to Simpson, headed it back.

The ball rolled over two meters in front of Kanter on the rib, at an extremely fast speed, and quickly bounced to the left rib in the 30-meter area of ​​Leicester City.

Aguero retreated in the middle, turned around to take the ball in front of Kanter, and then immediately started to move horizontally to the top of the arc in the middle.

Coming to the left area of ​​​​the top of the arc, Kanter caught up with Aguero.

But Aguero is not an ordinary striker. With a small change to the right, he avoided Kanter who was grabbing from behind.

Taking advantage of the moment when Kanter turned around, Aguero came to the free throw arc and raised his foot directly to kick a powerful heavy artillery.

Aguero's shot is very high, going straight to the right side of the goal, and has a tendency to fall extremely fast.

In the small penalty area, Schmeichel leaped to the right and successfully dialed the ball with the front of his left palm.

Immediately afterwards, the ball's route changed, and it hit the goalpost with a bang and rebounded, allowing Fox to make a clearance in time.

"Huh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" A quick exclamation resounded through Wembley Stadium.

In the coaching area on the sidelines, Ranieri looked like he had survived a catastrophe.

Pellegrini next to him closed his eyes the moment the ball was blocked by the goal post, and turned around with a sudden shake of his hand, seeming very angry.

But this attack is just the beginning of Manchester City's offensive!
In the 64th minute of the game, Simpson encountered pressure from the side of the backcourt and made a clearance.

The ball was headed by Otamendi in the middle circle.

Drinkwater rushed to the landing point early to get the ball, but was forced by Fernando who was pressing forward and could not turn around. He had to take it back along the ribs, and then passed back to Schmeichel in the penalty area.

However, the strength of his return kick was too small, creating an excellent opportunity for Sterling, who was standing in the middle behind Morgan and was in an offside position.

In China, He Wei, Zhang Lu, and Xu Yang were all stunned.

"Drinkwater's return pass is to assist Sterling?" He Wei asked in a high voice, his face full of disbelief.

Outside the upper left corner of the penalty area, Sterling, who was rushing in both directions with Schmeichel, got the ball first.

But facing Schmeichel, who was close at hand, bent over and lowered, with his arms slightly outstretched, Sterling did not choose to hit the goal.

In the stands, countless Manchester City fans were so angry that they were crooked.

What the hell are you fighting? There is no one in the penalty area.

At this time, Schmeichel was so angry that he became crooked, wishing to tear Drinkwater up and down on the spot, without such a trick.

On the sidelines, Ranieri and Pellegrini held their breath unknowingly, their eyes fixed on the door.

Outside the upper corner of the small penalty area on the left, Sterling and Schmeichel played an eagle catch chick, and the goal was the chick behind Schmeichel.

But Sterling, the eagle with a hip buttocks, turned half to the right to face the top of the arc. Seeing Aguero, who was in an unmarked state on his left rib, diagonally inserted into the top of the arc in the middle, he raised his foot and passed.

Facing the incoming ball, Aguero's center of gravity tilted to the left, his left arm was raised high, and he assumed a posture to hit the goal directly.

At this time Morgan and Huth have returned to the middle of the penalty area.

The division of labor between the two is clear.

Morgan ran towards the empty goal, and Huth was ready to grab or block Aguero's shot laterally.

On the right side of Aguero, Kanter also came back and went straight to grab.

However, in the next second, Aguero suddenly closed his shooting posture, turned slightly to the right, rubbed his right foot, and the missed ball rolled along the horizontal line of the penalty area.

This instantaneous action fully demonstrates Aguero's golf intelligence and calmness as a top shooter, as well as his delicate skills at his feet.

As soon as Chu Zheng rushed to the right rib area at the top of the arc, he saw Aguero, who was moving laterally in the left front penalty area line, followed up and swung his right foot to hit.

At this moment, Chu Zheng's heart raised his throat, which was exactly the same as that of the Leicester City fans in the stands.

At the moment of the shot, Huth, who followed the defense horizontally, quickly went to the top to block, but the ball shot by him and Aguero was slightly different, and the ball went straight to the right side of the goal.

At this moment, Schmeichel stepped forward, quickly flew to the left, blocked the ball with one hand in mid-air, and immediately got up after landing and pressed the little bouncing ball around him, resolving the crisis.

"Bull beep!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Chu Zheng subconsciously yelled, his eyes widened, "Ruo Lin Yuan San possessed!"

At this moment, Chu Zheng felt that the scene in front of him was exactly the same as Ruolin's one-handed save in the Captain Tsubasa anime he watched when he was a child.

Although not always in his hand, Schmeichel really caught Aguero's shot with one hand.

"No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

In the stands, Manchester City fans exclaimed in disbelief one after another. They couldn't believe that their own team would miss this opportunity!
