Chapter 192 Red Blood Awakened
Pellegrini has been in a good mood recently.

Their team defeated the mighty Roma in the last round of the Champions League group stage, kept the second place in the group, and advanced through danger.

This relieved his pressure all at once.

In the Premier League, although they are 7 points behind Chelsea, they have one less game after all.

As long as this game wins, there is still only a four-point gap.

He has the confidence to defend his title.

Similar to Leicester City, they also rested in the last game, and this game has a full main lineup.

However, the absence of several players such as Aguero due to injuries prevented Manchester City from reaching its strongest combat effectiveness.

Especially the front line.

Today Pellegrini sent a lone striker Jose Poso.

This teenager is a Spanish genius dug by Manchester City from the Real Madrid youth training camp a few years ago. He has outstanding personal skills and was transferred to the first team by Pellegrini this season. He is his key training target.

Although the striker is inexperienced, Manchester City has a strong midfield and backcourt today.

Lampard, David Silva and Nasri play the attacking midfielder.

Fernando and Yaya Toure sit in the midfield.

These five midfielders alone are quite powerful.

On the defensive line, Kompany, Sagna, Mangala and other players are in charge, and they also have top defensive capabilities.

Facing such a strong enemy, Leicester City seeks stability in their tactics in this game.

Although it is still a familiar 4-4-2 formation, the overall formation has retracted considerably.

Ulloa is almost retreating to the 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.

In the face of such a powerful opponent, if you attack, you will be overwhelmed.

Even if he is in good form recently, Pearson will never be too big.

Who is Manchester City?

They were the Premier League champions last season and are the top five in this season's Champions League odds list.

In other words, they are recognized as the top five teams in Europe this season.

Facing this kind of opponent, Leicester City has only one way to stick to it.

Taking a step back, Leicester City will not be wronged even if they end up with a tie.

So in this game they firmly defended and counterattacked.

At the beginning of the game, David Silva made a wonderful pass.

The ball accurately finds the young player Poso on the front line.

Poso turned and volleyed!

The ball went straight to the corner!

Quite a sight!
Schmeichel punched decisively, with both fists!
Keep the goal clean!

The young man in his early 20s looked energetic.

A few minutes later, Nasri also started his own performance.

As the ball-handling genius of the Manchester City team, although he is recognized as unique, his dribbling ability is beyond doubt.

No opponent will underestimate him.

Sudden acceleration with the ball on the right!
Xia Xing stopped him!

Hit the middle and hand it over to Lampard!

Xia Xing hesitated for a moment, but he still decided to find Lampard in the middle.

After all, the England veteran is more threatening.

Behind him, De Laet pressed forward tacitly, and followed Nasri closely.

Facing Xia Xing, Lampard tried others, but to no avail.

He nodded secretly.

This young man is really good, and his defense is impeccable.

In the end, it passed back to Nasri to the right.

Nasri catches the ball and suddenly accelerates!
The instant speed increase and rhythm change directly made Draet confused!
He was passed!
Captain Morgan quickly pressed on!
But Nasri did not try to break through the strong Morgan this time!

He volleys from the penalty area line!

The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

Another Schmeichel save!
The ball was hit out of the baseline!
Schmeichel did it again!

But Manchester City's attack is not over yet.

David Silva's corner kick flew into the Leicester City penalty area.

Konchesky cleared with a header and the ball landed at the feet of Lampard just outside the penalty area.

Without hesitation, Lampard kicked and shot!

The ball brushed the outside of the goal and flew out of the baseline!

Only a little short!

If it is within the range of the goal post, it is definitely a goal!

The continuous onslaught made Leicester City a little breathless.

Is this the strength of the top teams?
Before this game, the players of Leicester City were full of momentum.

But now, they are stressed.

They have won against Manchester City a few times before, and they are very confident.

But in retrospect, every victory is extremely difficult, and there is indeed a lot of luck.

Whether it was the knockout round of the FA Cup last season or the Community Shield before the start of this season, there is an element of luck.

It is difficult to win Manchester City.

However, the Leicester City team is still going all out!
Facing Manchester City's onslaught, Leicester City's soldiers defended as one, desperately defending the goal.

Until the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, they still tried to keep the goal clean.

A score of 0 to 0 is the best reward for them.

They changed sides to fight again in the second half, and they still endured Manchester City's onslaught.

Even if Mahrez and Vardy occasionally played a good counterattack, they were all destroyed by players such as Kompany.

As the game continued, Manchester City replaced the veteran with declining physical fitness and continued to supplement the offensive force.

And Leicester City is also constantly making substitutions and adjustments.

Cambiasso, De la Ete and Mahrez went off, Albrighton, Wasilewski and Hammond came off the bench.

It is also constantly replacing players with declining physical fitness, and strengthening the defensive strength.

For Leicester City, it is too difficult to win this game.

And Xia Xing occasionally went forward a few times to help attack, but in the end they all returned without success.

Knowing Xia Xing's strength, Manchester City focused on marking him. In the midfield position, Xia Xing could not support him alone, and he did not dare to press too high. He also had to be cautious about defending.

That's why Pearson replaced Mahrez, who was physically declining, and replaced him with Hammond.

This is also a manifestation of Leicester City's basic abandonment of offense.

Until the 85th minute of the game.

A wave of Manchester City's offense was destroyed and the ball fell to Morgan's feet.

Blue Fox captain passed the ball forward and handed it to Xia Xing.

At this time, Xia Xing discovered that Manchester City's defense was not recovering very quickly!
At this stage, they are also physically exhausted!
It's a great opportunity!
Behind the middle circle, Xia Xing suddenly accelerated after receiving the ball!
This speed increase made Manchester City feel like an enemy in an instant!
But the shrinking speed of the formation was far slower than Xia Xing's sprinting speed with the ball!

A change of direction wiped out the veteran Lampard!
Keep accelerating!
Yaya Toure squeezes with a strong body!

Xia Xing stops urgently!

accelerate!
Use a change of direction to pass the iron gate of Manchester City's midfielder!

Fernandinho, who came off the bench, shoveled diagonally!
Xia Xing taps the ball forward!

Then go around the tackle and keep sprinting!
He passed three Manchester City midfielders in a row!

Manchester City captain Kompany quickly rushed up!
He is one of the strongest central defenders in international football today!

Xia Xing is also very clear, so he did not choose to be extraordinary again.

Instead, kick and shoot!
25 meters away from the goal, Xia Xing's shot went straight to the dead corner!
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 scored a crucial goal!
"Another wonderful performance by Xia!
"Facing Manchester City, the sworn enemy of the former club,
"Xia's red blood has awakened!"
