The new tactics will certainly lead to the team's offensive influency, but in defense, there will definitely not be such a big mistake.

The three defences are so spread out that there are gaps between each of them, which could be an area for City to attack.

The flesh on Pearson's face twitched, revealing an extremely fierce expression.

"I'm keeping an eye on people, don't just follow half of people."

"Two sides pressed on me, what are you afraid of."

He was not happy, and called the names of several players in a row, and the team relaxed and put into defense.

In fact, the defense has not changed much, but in the face of a pass-and-control team like Manchester City, they actually do not play defensive counterattacks, but press in the front court and attack them, which makes the players somewhat unconfident.

City capitalised on their opponents' moments to organise fluid links up front and create two shots on goal.

If it weren't for goalkeeper Schwarzer's concentration enough, he would have been pierced through the goal.

After Pellegrini took over the team, he abandoned the defensive counterattack, and in terms of offensive advancement, the speed was insufficient, and the stability was more than steady.

Especially as Yaya Toure has grown older, his explosiveness in the back has decreased significantly, and the direct impact is that Manchester City's midfield has slowed down.

In order to compensate for the loss of speed in the team, Manchester City concentrated the speed on the wings of Navas.

Keylor Navas, who can play as a full-back and a full-back, is more balanced at both ends of the pitch but has only the advantage of speed, which can easily be limited.

After the Lyicester City defense stabilized, although Manchester City was very active on the wing, the last pass to the goal, which was always almost meaningless, made Bony very embarrassed for the top fight.

Despite the high possession, City's attack could not be converted into goals.

A number of attacks did not go well, and City slowed down the tempo and tried to take advantage of the diversion to leave the opposition defence empty.

Rossi and Vardy stepped forward to press, and the midfield was in a straight position, taking advantage of the offensive and defensive balance of the formation to make Manchester City's attack at a loss.

That's why Pearson put it 4-4-2.

Rossi played against Yaya Toure and before the switch, the latter had overwhelming speed and physicality.

Yaya Toure, 32, is far inferior in speed and explosiveness, but can still cope with Rossi in physical confrontation.

But Rossi's task is not to grab the ball, but to interfere, not to make the opponent pass the ball comfortably, and he has achieved his goal.

The tight defence made it difficult for City's attack to advance, but they still had absolute possession.

That's where assistant coach Ewell worries.

The game of soccer is all about controlling the ball and creating space.

In a game, the team only has more than ten minutes to get the ball, so what kind of offense is it?

Moreover, the pressing defense of Lyrcester City is quite a physical drain.

Defending for a long time, allowing Rossi and Vardy to drop back near the centre circle.

Rossi is positioned further back and will act as the team's first point of play in the front of the field when counter-attacking.

Cambiaso's defensive experience allows him to limit Silva's penetrations and force him away from the threat zone.

In response to Navas's singular characteristic, Pearson asked for a wide defense, that is, to suppress him near the touchline and not allow him to cross easily.

City's threat in midfield has been limited, and even if they are as strong as Sergio Aguero, they can't play a role up front without the support of the midfield.

Pellegrini saw the good intentions of his opponent and he was not in a hurry because the ball was always in his hands.

He stood in the coaching area, crossed his hands on his hips, watched the changes in the scene, and commanded steadily.

A war of attrition is to first consume the opponent's physical energy and then wear out their spirit.

He tried to bring in full-back Kolarov to link up with Silva.

In the 28th minute, Manchester City continued to pass on the periphery and finally found a chance.

Silva and Kolarov combined in succession to break through the Lycester City defence.

The latter crossed from the bottom, and Bony in front of goal finally found an opportunity to shake his head to the goal.

The ball flew into the bottom left corner of the goal, the goalkeeper couldn't save it, and the fans behind the goal were already celebrating.

Captain Morgan flew to the rescue and kicked the ball out.

The Manchester City players in front of goal raised their hands to signal that they had scored, but the linesman was adamant that the ball did not fully cross the goal line.

A disappointed Pellegrini waved his hand and returned to the lounge area.

This goal-wide situation made the Lyrcester City team feel like they were going to be left behind, and Pearson shouted at the pitch to signal the players to run.

Against a passing team like Manchester City, the slightest mistake is very likely to be broken by them.

Just now, it was caused by Mahrez's failure to come back in time to participate in the defense after attacking and stealing the ball.

Midfielder Drinkwater, when receiving the ball, was interfered with by Fernando.

After he passed back to Cambiaso, City's defence was recycled and a counter-attack was organised near midfield.

These tactics don't need to be explained too much by Pellegrini, because the team has practiced many times, and how to press the opponent's pass at the first time when retreating, these are deeply ingrained in the bones of the players.

Now what to do is just wait.

In the 40 minutes of the first half, Lyrcester did not have a single shot on goal, and even made only two threatening passes.

But relying on tenacious defense, Manchester City's attack is scoreless.

The cheers of the home fans are also gradually increasing, hoping to bring strength to the team.

[The style of play of the Leicester City team today is a little too aggressive, and to play a team like Manchester City, the first thing is to have a stable defense. 】

[So far, the shots on goal between the two sides are 12:0, and if the Lyicester City team continues to play like this, the players' fitness will be in crisis in the second half, and they will be beaten into a sieve at that time.] 】

Manchester City wanted to use the last five minutes of the first half to attack Leicester City with all their might, which was also a tactic arranged by the manager in advance.

In the last five minutes, the defender's consciousness will be more or less relaxed.

Yaya Toure, who had been silent for 40 minutes, finally broke out, and after receiving a pass from his teammates, he first shook off Rossi's defense and then advanced with the ball.

With his back plugged in, the City players were aware of it, and Fernando dropped back to defend to protect the space behind him.

Keylor Navas and Silva raced down the flanks, ready to cut in diagonally or draw in defenders.

Up front, Bony went up front and took away a defensive centre-back, while Sergio Aguero was behind him, waiting for an opportunity.

After Rossi was over, he struggled to catch up, but Yaya Toure was like a bulldozer, running at high speed, and his body balance was not disturbed by Rossi behind him.

In the face of Cambiaso's defense, he simply got rid of it laterally, completely shook off the frontal defense, and then continued to advance with the ball.

The most terrifying thing is that Rossi has been reaching out behind him to interfere, but it has not affected the rhythm of his dribbling in the slightest.

What's worse is that after Yaya Toure broke through Cambiaso, his teammates didn't help defend at the first time, and the defense line was useless.

Because Manchester City's attacking players have pulled out the attacking space for Yaya Toure.

Seeing Yaya Toure approaching step by step, Rossi put a tackle directly behind him and brought down with the ball.

Drip!

The referee blew the whistle for a foul and gave Rossi a yellow card.

Pearson was about to curse, the team was simply defenseless, and if it wasn't for Rossi's timely tackle, Yaya Toure would have been in the best position to shoot.

But Rossi was one step ahead of him.

"Defensive marking, defensive marking, why didn't you wrap up the first time just now."

Rossi angrily scolded his teammates, rarely angering him, revealing a sense of majesty.

He kept chasing back from the back, and the team's defense line was unexpectedly unfortunate, how not to make people angry.

"If you don't know how to defend, shout out."

Rossi shouted angrily again, shocking his teammates.

City won a free-kick on the left edge of the box and Yaya Toure fired straight into the top left corner.

The goalkeeper made a flying save, the ball hit the crossbar and flew off the baseline.

It was another close chance to score.

In the 42nd minute, Manchester City broke the ball at the back again, and Yaya Toure organized the attack.

This time, the Lyicester players showed stubborn defence, alerting their team-mates with hoarse roars.

"The 42nd is coming."

"No problem."

"Hey!"

"Alas!"

On the football field, players will remind each other.

However, due to the loud sound of the scene and the long distance between the players, the communication with each other is not as timely as that of basketball players.

In addition, the football field is changing rapidly, and the simpler the way of communication, the easier it is to understand.

Otherwise, it will distract your teammates and will only backfire.

Alas, hey.

These simple shouts can remind your teammates of your location so they don't have to look up to know where you are.

Or use simple sign language to remind teammates of the position of the attacking player.

In such a defensive mode, Lyicester City's defense seems a little flustered, but the most critical people always appear in key positions, and they defuse Manchester City's attacks again and again.

After grinding away the few minutes left in the first half, the two sides went into the break with a draw.

Yaya Toure walked into the tunnel with a black face.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
