On Tuesday, Leicester City ushered in the 34th round of league matches against Wigan Athletic.

Pearson, who won the battle of Kings Mountain at the weekend, was confident and lined up front with the trident of Nugent, Chris Wood and Conokett.

Chris Wood, as a bridgehead, can gain air superiority and a strong body can also grapple with tall guards.

With tall centre-forwards in the box, Nugent and Conokette on either side can use their speed and breakthrough ability to deliver shells in front of goal.

That's why Pearson chose to give up on Rossi.

His body is not yet able to stand in the forbidden area of fierce confrontation.

Despite his outstanding performances, the task of winning the championship is difficult at the moment, and he still has to work steadily.

Wigan Athletic are fifth in the table, followed by Brighton and Reading.

According to the rules of the Championship relegation and relegation, the 3rd to 6th place in the standings, from the third place to the sixth place, the fourth place to the fifth place, the play-off system of home and away elimination,

The two winning teams will play a separate neutral ground to determine the third place in the Super League.

In this game, both sides cannot afford to lose.

Last season, Wigan beat Manchester City and won the FA Cup for the first time in the team's history.

However, the absence of main striker Waghorn weakened the team's attacking ability, and a 4-5-1 lineup was discharged.

Obviously, facing the challenge of Leicester City at the top of the standings, Wigan, who are playing at home, are ready to draw and take one point.

Because the team still has to prepare for the FA Cup semi-final in 10 days' time.

The two teams, each with their own pressures and scruples, looked a little nervous and cautious in the first half hour of the game.

In 39 rounds, 51 goals were scored, and the team's top scorer Waghorn scored 6 league goals.

However, the dispersion of the team's offensive firepower also means that it is difficult to concentrate on defense.

Sure enough, in the 36th minute of the game, Leicester City's midfielder Hammond was fouled, and Wigan Athletic got a set-piece opportunity outside the box.

Jordi Gomes' set-piece caused chaos in the Leicester penalty area, with defender Ramis heading home to give Wigan Athletic the lead.

After conceding the goal, Pearson roared at his players and told them to be aware of their defence.

Four minutes later, Leicester also capitalised on a set-piece opportunity to equalise through defender Andy King.

At half-time, Pearson walked into the dressing room with a black face, the team should have been encouraged to equalize away from home, but the inaction of the front line made him very angry.

Wigan Athletic's hard-nosed midfield defended and limited the pace of Leicester's two flanks, leaving Chris Wood at the front without a single shot on target.

Throughout the first half, except for a certain set-piece attack, Leicester City's shots were all forced to shoot from outside the penalty area, and the attack was completely limited.

Is this what a Championship winning team should look like?

Pearson would never allow such a situation to happen, saying solemnly: "In the second half, I want to see that the wings can make a difference, don't be a turtle with a shrunken head. ”

In the first half, the breakthroughs of Nugent and Konoket on the wing were completely limited by the opponent, and the breakthrough was only a few successes, and the cross was also cleared by the opponent.

When the head coach said this, he undoubtedly slapped the two in the face.

After the start of the second half, Leicester's offensive continued not to improve.

Without Jamie Vardy, Leicester's ability to play from wide crosses was ineffective.

Chris Wood was rough at his feet and dropped back to get the ball to no avail.

From the gloomy face of head coach Pearson, it is not difficult to see that he is ready to make a substitution.

Because he's too lazy to scold anymore.

Sure enough, in the 60th minute, Pearson decisively removed the underperforming Nugent and Conoket and replaced them with Mahrez and Tyler Fletcher.

This is to strengthen the offensive advantage of the front line, and play to Mahrez's breakthrough inward cutting characteristics.

However, two minutes later, another defender from Wigan, Kiernan, scored with a header and slapped Pearson in the face.

Just substitution and falling behind, who is embarrassed?

But it's useless to be angry, how to score goals is the key.

After Riyad Mahrez came on, the breakthrough on the flanks did improve a bit, and Leicester's attack slowly picked up.

In the 73rd minute, Pearson made one last substitution, replacing Chris Wood with veteran Kevin.

Two experienced veterans who became the last resort for Leicester City's forward line.

If this game is lost, then last week's victory in the battle of Tennoyama is meaningless.

also caused Vardy's injuries to worsen, which was simply a loss for his wife and a soldier.

Pearson could not tolerate such a thing.

In these ten minutes, he constantly pressed the players, counter-attacked on the spot, and ran at any cost of physical strength to force the opponent to make mistakes.

In the 87th minute, Leicester City pressed from the high, broke the ball and launched an attack, and Hammond scored from a distance.

2：2！！！

In the final moments of the game, Hammond became the team's savior, which also relieved Pearson.

Three days later, Leicester City host Sheffield Wednesday.

Sheffield Wednesday have won four top-flight titles, three FA Cups and one English League Cup.

But that's all history, and Sheffield Wednesday are now 16th in the Championship and League One for many years, with relegation a top priority.

Against a weaker side, Pearson unleashed a luxurious attacking line of four strikers and blasted at Sheffield Wednesday's defence.

In the 10th minute, Riyad Mahrez shook off three defenders in quick succession on the edge of the Sheffield Wednesday penalty area and scored into the far corner to help his team establish an early lead.

Since the middle of the season, Mahrez's rise has revitalized Leicester's wings and gradually become the main force of the team.

In the absence of Vardy, he carried the banner of the team's attack.

Pearson is also very optimistic about him, and believes that the young Mahrez will definitely establish himself in the Premier League.

Despite taking the lead at home, Leicester City did not take advantage of the high momentum that followed the lead and continued to launch a fierce attack on Sheffield Wednesday's goal.

Because they lacked the weapons to storm the city.

Sheffield Wednesday's back five system, dragging central defender Oneu is like an iron gate at the back, directing the team's entire defensive line.

At the same time, his strong body has the upper hand against Chris Wood.

The crosses of Riyad Mahrez and Conokette on the wing were all cleared by him.

This also exposes Wood's technical shortcomings.

At the age of 23, he is not an opponent of the old Oneu in terms of body and experience.

And his ability to handle the ball is really rough, which makes it difficult for him to act as a fulcrum for the team in the penalty area.

After a long struggle, Sheffield Wednesday took advantage of the clearance ball and played a quick counter-attack, which was equalised by striker Antonio.

It all came so suddenly that Leicester City was taken by surprise.

I thought that Sheffield Wednesday, under the back five system, was slow to advance on the counter-attack.

However, they miscalculated, and when they switched from defence to attack, it was all initiated by Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Kieran Lee.

The foursome in the front court turned into forwards, sprinting forward and catching the ball to break through.

The simple and direct style of play directly defeated the advantages established by the Leicester City team in an instant.

In the second half, Sheffield Wednesday removed a striker and strengthened the midfield to make it more difficult for Leicester to break down the defence.

With 60 minutes played, Chris Wood up front was invisible.

Disappointed, Pearson replaced him with veteran Tyler Flecher .

After the substitution, Leicester finally took the lead again five minutes later through a counter-attack, which was scored by left wing-back Conokett.

Despite keeping the score until the end of the game, Leicester never launched a single threatening attack.

This also reflects the decline of the team's forward line.

Who can replace Jamie Vardy has become the biggest question for the team moving forward.

Weak edge!

The English media also unceremoniously pointed out the shortcomings of Leicester City at the moment.

Throughout the season, Leicester City, who relied too heavily on Vardy and Nugent's attack, were greatly reduced in attack once the two were injured.

While Riyad Mahrez can ease that pressure, he is only 23 years old and his first appearance in the Championship has yet to fully fill the void left by Jamie Vardy's departure.

And the long season has made the players very tired physically and mentally, and with the pressure of winning the championship, there will be some problems in the mentality.

Veterans, youngsters, and Pearson have all tried, but the results are not satisfactory.

So much so that in the next match with Brighton, six forwards of Leicester City appeared one after another, scored only one goal, and lost 1:4 to the opponent.

In three rounds, only 4 points were scored, giving hope to the Burnley team chasing behind them.

They won two games and drew one in three games, shortening the original seven-point disadvantage to four points.

The weakness of the striker pushed Pearson and his team to the forefront.

The team must solve this urgent need, otherwise the upcoming championship will be handed away.

Rossi scored a goal in the final game of the Under-21s to help the team to a perfect end to the comeback from Everton.

After receiving the system's reward Highlight Card "Marseille Slalom", Rossi pedaled his bike and hummed a ditty as he rode slowly back to his apartment.

Downstairs, he saw Craig, who had been waiting for a long time, with an indiscernible smile on the corner of his mouth.

It's time to come, it's still coming.
