Chapter 87 The Breaker!
A few days before this game, Pearson had already made tactical arrangements for the players.
"In this game, I ask you to play in the style of the English Championship!"
The players were stunned for a moment, but soon reacted.
"Just kick to the death?"
"That's right!"
"Hahaha!"
The players laughed.
Pearson patted a document in his hand.
"Let me tell you a piece of news,
"The referee of this game is not a Premier League referee, but a Championship referee, Thompson.
"I don't know why the English Football Association arranged it this way, but I know very well that it is good for us!
"Championship referees are used to large-scale penalties, which have long been ingrained in their bones.
"Even if the English Football Association asks them to blow more strictly, they will involuntarily relax.
"So I ask you to be more fierce in this game!
"Use the unique way of the English Championship team to deal with this team that claims to win the quadruple crown!
"They have already stepped on our shoulders to win the League Cup,
"We must not let them step on us to win the FA Cup again!
"I have never had a good impression of Manchester City,
"So we must beat them!"
As soon as Pearson finished speaking, De Laet next to him clapped his hands and stood up excitedly.
"Boss! As long as you don't have a good impression of Manchester City, we will always be friends!"
"Hahaha!"
Pearson didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The passionate atmosphere I finally brewed was ruined by you, a guy."
Shakespeare on the side smiled and nodded.
Since this season, Pearson has changed a lot.
Not as harsh as before, getting along better with the players, and the players dare to make a joke in front of him.
Everything is going in the best direction, it's great.
Getting the coach's request, the Leicester City players are united in this game.
From the first minute of the game, they were determined to fight Manchester City.
A series of fierce tackles made Manchester City's technical football ineffective.
And the tough impact of the midfield caused Manchester City to make two mistakes and almost lost the ball.
This made Pellegrini on the sidelines very unhappy!
He shouted the names of the players loudly, asking them to toughen up!
Especially Yaya Toure, he was very dissatisfied with this dark and tough performance!
"Toure! Tougher! What are you doing?"
Hearing Pellegrini's shout, Yaya Toure did not reply.
He was in a bad mood.
Not against the head coach, but against his teammates.
What the hell is this?
As long as the opponent's pressing is fiercer, the teammates will lose the ball?
What are you doing?
Don't you want to play this game well?
Oh, I understand.
You want to save your strength and strive to play in the Champions League and the league, right?
Then why start in this game?
Fxxk!
It happened that Xia Xing received the ball and prepared to move forward, and Yaya Toure ran into him directly!
Xia Xing turned halfway with the ball, keeping it under his control.
He gave half of his back to Yaya Toure.
My strength is 85, so why am I afraid of you?
When Xia Xing was knocked to the ground by Yaya Toure, he realized the gap between himself and his opponent.
This guy's strength must be 95...
The referee whistled, Yaya Toure fouled, Leicester City's free kick.
Yaya Toure was a little dissatisfied and complained to the referee: "They kicked so hard just now, but there was no foul. How come I fouled with a reasonable collision?"
The referee frowned, and without saying a word, he took out a card!
Yellow card warning!
Yaya Toure was furious!
He wanted to say something, but was pulled aside by captain Kompany.
"Why did you provoke the referee?"
"His penalty is unfair!"
"If you are sent off, how do we play next?"
"..."
"Control your emotions well!"
"Okay..."
Yaya Toure took a deep breath and stopped talking.
Fxxk!
Although he was in a bad mood, Yaya Toure knew the limit and did not make a fuss with the referee.
However, in the next period of time, Yaya Toure's defensive state obviously deteriorated.
After all, he had a yellow card, and Yaya Toure did not want to be sent off.
Leicester City became more and more courageous, relying on crazy defense to frequently disrupt Manchester City's midfield pass control.
At the end of the first half, neither side scored a goal.
During the halftime break, Pearson praised everyone's performance.
"Manchester City has no choice! Just keep doing it!"
However, Pearson called Xia Xing, Mahrez and Vardy aside.
"You have to find opportunities to attack in the second half and make the final decision!"
"Good!"
The three of them looked firm.
In the second half, Leicester City still defended desperately.
Especially the defense in the middle, which was airtight.
Hammond and Schlupp, who started this game, were very active.
As substitutes, they cherished being able to start in this important game.
So they went all out to implement the coach's arrangements.
Drinkwater controlled the midfield rhythm of the game.
The best performance was from Xia Xing.
After absorbing Gattuso's card, Xia Xing's steal attribute increased to 75.
This level is already quite good.
Especially with 85 strength, 82 reaction, 85 speed, 89 explosive power, and 90 physical fitness, he is the absolute iron gate of Leicester City's midfield today.
He may not seem that strong, but as long as Xia Xing appears in front of him, Manchester City players should not try to pass him!
The game was played for 70 minutes, and no Manchester City player successfully dribbled past Xia Xing!
When he intercepted the ball from Nasri again, the commentator in the live broadcast room couldn't help but admire him.
"If you only look at this game, Xia is a very qualified defensive midfielder!
"Who would have thought that he is also an attacker with super impact and excellent ball control? ”
Yes, no one thought of this.
Especially Manchester City players.
The game was in the 79th minute, just after Manchester City had just made a substitution, Leicester City's fast break suddenly came!
Xia Xing decisively put down the tackle and knocked down Navas who broke through on the wing!
Manchester City's midfield line just pressed forward to prepare for the attack, and it stopped abruptly!
At this time in the frontcourt, Mahrez had accelerated!
Xia Xing made a long pass and went straight to the right!
"Leicester City's counterattack is coming!
"Mahrez cleverly received the ball and quickly moved forward!
"Xavi Garcia made a diagonal defense!
"Mahrez cut inside and suddenly went to the wing!
"Changed direction and passed, shook Garcia!
"Go straight to the penalty area!
"Left back Clichy was extremely fast, and Mahrez's forward route was blocked!
"Knocked across the middle!
"Vardy received the ball!
"Mahrez continued to move forward, are they going to play a two-on-one?
"Vardy passed the ball!
"The ball suddenly passed to the left!
"Who's there?
"It's Xia!
"After passing it to Mahrez, he had already rushed to the penalty area at high speed!
"Rush to catch the ball!
"Shoot from the penalty area line!
"The ball went straight into the upper 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 this game!
"His wonderful defense made him the spoiler of Manchester City's offense!
"And now, he has become the breaker of Leicester City!
"1 to 0!
"Leicester City is only ten minutes away from creating a miracle!"
