On the evening of February 16, King Power Stadium.

Tens of thousands of fans have been waiting for the resumption of the game.

For the match two months ago, the majority of Leicester fans watched the game at home or in a pub due to the limited number of tickets available to visitors at the Etihad Stadium.

Seeing the team's regrettable defeat through the TV screen also made the fans sad.

And now, they are finally able to cheer on the team's FA Cup journey on the spot!

The first two FA Cup games of the season have all been on the road.

Playing Manchester City, finally at home!

Meddlesome!

Manchester City's buses slowly pulled into the outside of the King Power Stadium.

The Manchester City players looked at the lively square, but the mood was not so beautiful.

In their last Carabao Cup match, they won in the end, but they were almost drawn by the opposition.

And the 3-2 ending is not what they want.

In their minds, playing a team like Leicester City has to be a big win to be reasonable!

What Championship team dares to shout at us?

Stepping out of the bus and into the dressing room, the City players were still chatting disdainfully.

"We have to win this game! Get back face! ”

"That's right! Playing this kind of team, a small victory is a shame! ”

"Today we're going to beat them up in front of their home fans!"

The players were waving their fists as if they wanted to go up and do it right now.

However, Manuel Pellegrini frowned.

He tapped lightly on the whiteboard, and the players fell silent.

"Boys, you have a strong competitive spirit, I can understand that.

But don't be proud!

"Don't think Leicester is easy to deal with!

"In the last game, we just won 3-2.

'Half a month ago, Chelsea did the same.

"Do you still think Leicester City is weak?

"Three days from now we have the Champions League against Barcelona.

"That game was important,

"But this game is just as important.

'So I hope the players who started today will give it their all.

"Win the opponent steadily and advance to the next round smoothly,

"This is what I ask of you!"

After Pellegrini finished speaking, although no one refuted the players, they were still unconvinced.

Especially Nasri.

He didn't look down on Leicester at all.

They came close to an equaliser with two goals in a row from Leicester City in their last game.

Nasri has not been convinced by this.

Isn't it because Lao Tzu left the field because he was injured?

If Lao Tzu is still there, you stinky foxes are still arrogant?

This game kicks you guys!

Because Manchester City will face the Champions League quarter-finals in three days' time, and the opponent is still a strong game.

Therefore, Manchester City still played a number of substitutes in this game.

Compared to the previous game against Leicester City, there were not many changes to the lineup.

The main goalkeeper, Pantilimon, still started.

A back four of Klich, Lescott, Kompany and Zabaleta.

Double-back Harvey Garcia and Yaya Toure.

The three midfielders are Milner, Nasri and Keylor Navas.

Single striker Dzeko.

Compared with the lineup in the previous game, only Dzeko, Yaya Toure and Klich were replaced.

In particular, Yaya Toure's introduction proved that Pellegrini valued the control of the midfield in this game.

As one of the strongest B2B stars in the Premier League at the moment, Yaya Toure is extremely strong.

Perhaps, it is not one of them, it is the strongest.

Tough defense, crisp passing, decisive attack, super physical fitness.

Such a midfielder is really rare in the world.

There have also been some changes to Leicester City's line-up for this game.

However, it is not because of the physical fitness of the players, and there is no pressure to fight on two fronts, it is purely a tactical consideration.

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel remains at the back.

The four defenders from left to right, Delaette, Koncheski, Wes Morgan, Vasilewski.

The four midfielders from left to right, Xia Xing, Hammond, Drinkwater, Schlupp.

The twin strikers are Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.

What looks like a 4-4-2 formation has actually become a 4-4-1-1 formation.

Riyad Mahrez is a libero up front and is responsible for the team's midfield tandem.

Except for Xia Xing, the other three midfielders are all tough defenders.

The right-back was also replaced by Vasilewski, who defended better.

Pearson has only one purpose in this game - to disrupt the game!

"The referee's whistle blows, and the game begins!

"In this game, Manchester City is still far superior on paper!

'They had the ball in midfield!

"Nasri is very skilled!

"Continuous feints, past Schlupp!

"Hammond side-shovel!

"It's a ferocious action!

Nasri jumped smartly and dodged!

"The ball fell at the feet of Yaya Toure!

"Bigfoot to the front!

"Dzeko stops the ball with his back to his chest in the box!

"Knock!

"Keylor Navas shoots low!

"The ball was held firmly by Schmeichel!

"In the second minute, Manchester City had a wonderful shot on goal!

"They have a strong desire to win in this game!"

There's a strong desire to win, that's right.

But there are also lingering palpitations.

Especially Nasri.

Schlupp's tackle just now was very brutal, and it was a foul move.

But if Nasri lets him tackle, he'll be out nine times out of ten.

What if the opponent gets a yellow card?

Just after the opening, it is unlikely that the referee will show a red card.

So Nasri would rather lose the ball and protect himself from injury.

The game continued, and City's attack continued.

After successive midfield possession, the ball was again handed to the right.

Navas received the ball and suddenly accelerated and lunged!

Speed is his greatest strength!

But left-back Delaet went straight to the tackle!

Rushing to the ball, he even showed his spikes!

What to do with Navas?

Forced catch and then tackled?

Even if a penalty is awarded, what can it be?

Don't think about the game against Barcelona!

Not to mention three days later, it is not certain whether he can even come back in the second round!

Fxxk！

Lao Tzu is hiding!

Slowing down, Navas was particularly generous with the ball to De La Ette.

The ball was tackled into the box and Morgan cleared the ball with a big foot, and Leicester escaped again.

This was followed by another midfield scramble, with Milner and Xavi Garcia passing each other.

Xia Xing suddenly killed!

Hit Harvey Garcia hard!

Knocked Harvey Garcia straight away!

The referee didn't blow the whistle!

Xia Xing got the ball!

Kick to the front!

Jamie Vardy catches the ball and sprints with it!

Sudden return pass in the penalty area!

Inverted triangle!

Mahrez keeps up with the push!

The ball is just wide of the goal!

Although he didn't enter, the King Power Stadium still burst into applause!

Garcia, who had just been knocked down, looked up at Xia Xing, who glanced at him and didn't pay attention to him at all.

Garcia suppressed his anger and didn't go up to Xia Xing's trouble.

Xia Xing sneered.

Boy, doesn't it feel like being treated roughly?

Unfortunately, that's what we are aiming for!

All of us are the spoilers of this game!
