Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

Just as Ranieri was still thinking about Guardiola's tactical arrangement and trying to figure out the mystery.

At this time, an unexpected incident occurred on the field, instantly interrupting his thoughts.

From the beginning of the game, Manchester City showed a clear dominance. Their players easily controlled the rhythm of the game on the field, and Leicester City's players seemed to find no space to display.

All this stems from Manchester City's unique formation arrangement. Their midfielders and defenders have an absolute advantage, which enables them to easily control the ball and suppress the opponent's offense.

The midfield triangle composed of Silva, Fernandinho and Toure played a huge role.

They continued to advance in Leicester City's half, using exquisite passes and flexible running positions to tear apart Leicester City's defense.

Li Lei was still trying to adapt to the new position of center forward. As a winger, he was more accustomed to receiving the ball on the wing and then using speed to break through the opponent's defense.

But now, he needs to learn to find opportunities and create threats in the middle position.

Just when Li Lei was still groping, an attacking opportunity suddenly appeared.

The ball came to De Bruyne's feet on the right side. The Belgian genius was dribbling the ball and looking forward, looking for a chance to pass the ball.

Li Lei, who was at the edge of the penalty area, found an opportunity at this moment. He keenly realized that De Bruyne might choose to pass the ball directly.

Sure enough, De Bruyne also found this opportunity. He saw that Li Lei had started his run and made a decision immediately.

The ball under his feet, with a perfect arc, went straight to the penalty area.

Li Lei had already rushed to the landing point of the ball. Facing the fast-moving ball, he jumped up without hesitation and spread his body in the air.

At that moment, he was like a roc with wings spread, carrying unparalleled power and elegance, and his forehead accurately hit the ball.

The ball changed direction under his header and went straight to the goal.

The goalkeeper of Leicester City had not yet reacted, and the ball had hit the net.

1-0! Manchester City is leading!

In the audience, the fans who followed the team to the expedition were instantly excited. They jumped up excitedly and shouted Li Lei's name.

Li Lei was immersed in the joy of scoring a goal. He ran with open arms and accepted the hugs of his teammates.

On the sidelines, Guardiola showed a satisfied smile. His tactics and his arrangements were perfectly reflected at this moment.

Ranieri fell into deep thought. He needed to come up with a strategy as soon as possible, otherwise, the direction of this game would be completely out of control.

The game was still going on, but at this moment, everyone had already felt the difference in this game.

With Li Lei's goal, the atmosphere in Gao Yi's live broadcast room instantly reached a climax.

The fans were swiping the screen frantically on the barrage, expressing their excitement and joy.

"Fuck! Li Lei is awesome!"

"This is our superhero! Li Lei, you are the best!"

"Li Lei, you are my pride! It's great that Chinese football has you!"

"This header, this jump, it's perfect! Li Lei, you are a natural shooter!"

"Guardiola is such a genius, how did he think of letting Li Lei play as a center forward? It's amazing!"

"Manchester City is going to take off this season! With Li Lei, no one is afraid!"

"De Bruyne's pass is so accurate, he and Li Lei have a perfect understanding!"

"I can watch this goal a hundred times! Li Lei, you are so beautiful!"

"Is Manchester City's goal this season the Champions League? With such a lineup, who can stop it?"

On the barrage, words full of passion and joy rolled quickly.

The fans seemed to have found an outlet to vent their emotions, and they expressed their feelings without hesitation.

Among these comments, the most frequently appearing name is undoubtedly Li Lei.

For these fans, Li Lei is not only an excellent player, but also a hero and idol in their hearts.

Every time he touches the ball and runs, they are moved.

Gao Yi was also in the live broadcast room, commenting on the game excitedly.

"This is our Li Lei! He always stands up at the critical moment and wins for the team. He is our pride and the future of Chinese football!"

When Li Lei's header hit the net, the Leicester City fans at the King Power Stadium fell into shock and silence.

They looked at the score on the big screen in disbelief, 1-0, the visiting team was leading.

And this goal was actually scored by Li Lei.For a moment, the whole stadium was silent, and the fans looked at each other, as if they had not yet reacted to this sudden blow.

But soon, their emotions began to change. After the shock, they were angry and unwilling.

"How could this happen? Where is our defense?"

"Referee, is there something wrong with this ball? Are you sure it is not offside?"

"No, we can't just give up like this! Fox City, come on!"

"Fox City, Fox City, Fox City!"

"Li Lei, good shot!"

"This kid is so amazing, his header is so perfect!"

"Did you see his jump? It's just like a stag!"

Even at home, there are some fans cheering for Li Lei's performance.

They are real football lovers. They know how to appreciate the wonderful performance of their opponents. In their eyes, whether they are enemies or friends, excellent players are worthy of respect.

And Li Lei is undoubtedly such a respectable player.

His performance on the field and his professionalism have shown the demeanor of a top football star.

Even after scoring a crucial goal, he did not celebrate too much, but quickly got into the game.

Such an action is undoubtedly a respect for the home fans and the sport of football.

After scoring the goal, Li Lei calmed down and gradually discovered the problem of Leicester City.

After the loss of Kante, the super defender, Leicester City's defense is no longer so tight. From the headers just now, we can see the loopholes in their defense. After discovering this situation, he hurriedly notified other teammates.

When Li Lei told his teammates about his discovery, Manchester City's midfielders immediately realized that this was a great opportunity.

A glimmer of excitement flashed in De Bruyne's eyes. As the core of Manchester City's midfield, he knew that a defensive loophole could mean countless offensive opportunities.

"Great, Li, your discovery is very important," De Bruyne patted Li Lei on the shoulder, "We must seize this opportunity and increase the impact on their defense."

Silva on the side also nodded in agreement. As a veteran, he has a very deep understanding of the game.

"The absence of Kante is undoubtedly a big loss for Leicester City," Silva analyzed.

"We must make good use of this, do more in the midfield, and create more trouble for their defense."

The entire Manchester City midfield and frontcourt were excited by Li Lei's discovery.

Guardiola also caught the players' reactions on the sidelines. He nodded with satisfaction.

As a tactical master, he knows that every detail may affect the direction of the game.

And now, his players have found a breakthrough.

"That's it, kids," Guardiola said silently in his heart, "Seize the opportunity and play to your strengths. I believe that victory will eventually belong to us."
