It was a great holiday and the players' physical condition needed to be adjusted as soon as possible.

For Pearson, though, that's not a problem.

He has always been known for his severity.

Through intense training and a fat-loss diet, the players quickly adjusted to good shape.

It took less than ten days for the players to be back to normal.

Next, it is time to arrange various confrontation matches and warm-up matches.

Before the season, Leicester City picked six opponents for warm-up matches.

On 23 July, Leicester City face Ilkistan.

This opponent is from the sixth tier of England and is a pure practicer.

Pearson brought all the players on the pitch to adapt to the pace of the game, including two substitute goalkeepers.

In the end, the match ended 6-1.

Although the score is not large, it does not represent the true level of the two sides.

After all, it's the first warm-up game of the training camp, so let's find out how to feel it first.

On 27 July, Leicester travelled to Liverpool City to take on Everton at Goodison Park.

This is definitely a strong opponent for Leicester City.

You must know that Everton was fifth in the Premier League last season, beating Manchester United and other giants to grab a ticket to the Europa League.

In the end of this game, Leicester City won 1-0.

Although the win does not prove that Leicester City are better than Everton.

You must know that Lukaku and other main players who participated in the World Cup did not appear, and in the face of half of the main team, Leicester City still had a hard time winning.

The next three opponents are also from the lower leagues, Walsall, Preston North End and Rotherham.

Leicester City won easily.

On 3 August, they played their final friendly match.

Facing Bundesliga powerhouse Werder Bremen at home, Leicester City played a brilliant counter-attack.

The overall strength of Bremen in this game is significantly stronger than that of Leicester City.

Even if the team is not in good shape in recent seasons, it is a traditional strong team in the Bundesliga after all, and Bremen's heritage is still the same.

With their excellent integrity, Bremen have been holding Leicester City at bay.

Leicester City lined up in a 4-5-1 formation for this game.

Only Jamie Vardy was left alone up front, with Xia Xing and Riyad Mahrez on the left and right in midfield, and Dan Drinkwater, Cambiasso and Albrighton in the middle.

The three players in the middle defended with all their might, making Bremen suffer.

Drinkwater is good both offensively and defensively, not to mention his strength.

Cambiasso's wealth of experience will also be beneficial in midfield.

There is also Albrighton, who was born as a winger, but he actually contributed more defensively. Running without sparing any physical strength and excellent ball protection passes, excellent technical characteristics were undoubtedly on display in this game.

In the end, with a wonderful long pass from Powell, who came on as a substitute, Ulloa, who also came on as a substitute, crashed away from the defender and burst into the net.

Scored the only goal of the game.

In six consecutive games, Pearson changed countless formations and combinations.

The final result was to achieve the goal of military training.

The Premier League has a new season full of strong players, and if you want to play well, you must be fully prepared and bring out the characteristics of the players to the fullest.

In addition to training, Leicester City's coaching staff is also intensively studying tactics and analyzing the characteristics of players.

For their first Premier League season, Leicester City are looking forward to it.

Wembley Stadium, 8 August 2014.

Leicester City have an appetizer ahead of the start of the Premier League.

Community Shield!

As last season's FA Cup winners, Leicester City will take on last season's Premier League champions Manchester City here.

With tens of thousands of people filling up the stadium, Manuel Pellegrini is looking to get the season off to a good start with a win.

But what he didn't expect was that they were in big trouble in this game.

Pearson lined up in a 4-5-1 formation, exactly the same as in the previous game against Bremen.

His goal is clear - to defend and counterattack!

Compared to last season's 4-4-2 formation, Pearson has been more conservative this season.

After all, he has just been promoted to the Premier League, and he doesn't think his team is capable of wrestling with countless strong opponents.

Even if we were lucky enough to make it all the way to the FA Cup last season, there was an element of luck.

There are also a few cases where opponents are fighting on multiple fronts and are not using their full strength.

So this season, Leicester City's primary goal is relegation.

And then there's the breakthrough.

Facing Leicester City's steel defence, Manchester City could not attack for a long time.

Drinkwater's defensive prowess is evident, Cambiaso is more experienced, and Albrighton's desperate run.

With three midfielders in charge, it is difficult for Manchester City's midfield to attack.

However, there are some objective reasons for this.

For example, a number of Manchester City's main players are out due to injury, with Sergio Aguero, Dzeko and David Silva all injured and not in the squad.

Yaya Toure also took a leave of absence for personal reasons and has not returned to the team.

This Manchester City team is not a top match at all.

But even so, Leicester City is a starting line-up that has just been put together.

Cambiasso and Albrighton are both new signings, while right-back Simpson has also been put in the starting line-up by Pearson.

Compared to Moore, who has more assists, Pearson still likes Simpson who is physically and defensively good and has a better body.

After six friendly matches, Leicester City's defensive system is now very good.

And what about the offense?

Naturally, it is also at the top level!

Pressed by Manchester City, but Leicester City is still very stable.

The counter-attack after every break is very effective.

Xia Xing on the left, Mahrez on the right, and the two wings of Leicester City are flying together to reappear in the rivers and lakes!

Facing Manchester City last season, Leicester City relied on the wonderful performance of the two to knock out the Blue Moon from the FA Cup.

And in front of them, there is also Kuavardi.

The two counter-attacks in the first half were both by Vardy's final strike.

His quick movement made it difficult for the City defence.

However, both shots were saved by Joe Hart.

Manchester City's standout player in this game was their England goalkeeper.

At the end of the first half, neither side could score.

In the second half, Manchester City still attacked fiercely.

Facing a stubbornly defended Leicester City, they were desperate to finish the battle within 90 minutes.

As for the Foxes, who knocked them out of the FA Cup last season, Manchester City are desperate to find the back of the net.

However, they are not facing the same team as last season.

The completely changed style of play made them very uncomfortable.

In the 77th minute of the game, the veteran Cambiaso directly put a shovel and cut off the ball at Yaya Toure's feet!

Knock on the left!

Give it to Xia Xing!

Summer travel high-speed sprint!

Catch the ball and speed past Milner!

Facing right-back Sagna, Xia Xing cut inside......

Suddenly reverse and rush to the left front!

Get past Sania and continue on the sidewalk!

At this time, he has come to the vicinity of the forbidden area!

Vardy has also accelerated to position!

Precise crosses!

The ball is blazing fast!

With his back to Demichelis, Vardy has a sliding tackle!

The ball is poked into the corner!

The ball is in!

1 to 0!

Leicester City finally break the deadlock!
