With the big win of the weekend, too much media focus on Rossi.

With Pixie's bundle, the media prefers such gimmicky news that can increase clicks and reads.

As for Leicester City, as a relegation team, it is reasonable to be at the bottom of the points for a long time and get a win.

Not only them, but Queens Park Rangers also beat their opponents 4-1 in the last round.

Burnley drew 0-0 with Tottenham, and Leicester's victory looked much bleaker in comparison.

Leicester City's next opponent is West Bromwich Albion, whose morale has fluctuated after last week's defeat to Rangers.

They sit 14th in the table, just seven points off the relegation zone, and it's not time to be relieved.

Every Premier League relegation battle often breaks out of the upset, and only by completely getting rid of the relegation zone can we sit back and relax.

Pulis was appointed West Brom manager in January today, and in his first 11 games in charge, he has won six games, drawn four and lost one, not only getting out of the relegation zone, but also being voted Premier League Manager of the Month in February, which shows his ability to coach.

However, after entering March, the team suffered a wide range of fatigue injuries caused by the two-front battle, with three losses and one win in four games, and the FA Cup was also eliminated.

In the last round, they lost 1-4 to the second-to-last Queens Park Rangers, and for the first time since Pulis took charge, he will face the difficulty of being understaffed.

Although it was playing at home and the opponent was Leicester City, who were at the bottom, the old coach Pulis did not slack off.

Having watched Leicester's previous games, he found that the opponent was not a weak team, at least not as it is in the current standings.

Whether it is Arsenal, Manchester City or Tottenham, it is very difficult to play against Leicester City, and the number of effective counter-attacks and success rate of Leicester City can be seen even more clearly.

Their counter-attacking threat success rate is even higher than that of the traditional giants.

This does not exclude the element of giant players causing waves of shots under a large number of shooting opportunities.

However, Leicester's ability to play against traditional giants and maintain an efficient counter-attack rate is worth recalling.

After careful study, Pulis made a detailed plan for Leicester's counter-attack.

In Saturday afternoon's game, Leicester City, who were playing away, conceded in the eighth minute of the game.

Full-back Brent stepped forward and slotted the ball across the middle, where United midfielder Fletcher fired a shot past Kasper Schmeichel.

This goal also took out the shame of last week's heavy defeat to the Rangers.

Defensively, West Brom allowed the experienced Fletcher to mark Rossi and limit the pace of Leicester's counter-attacks up front.

Rossi was pressed by Felecher up front, making it difficult for him to comfortably receive and pass the ball, and more often than not, he swapped places with Ulloa in order to get away from the defence.

However, there will be a problem in this way, the retreating Ulloa is not capable of attacking in tandem, and Rossi is at the front end and must rely on the team's passing to make the most of his play.

Therefore, Rossi is at the forefront, and most of the time, he is like an invisible man.

From this point of view, Leicester City's biggest problem at the moment is the lack of organisation in the midfield.

Leicester City, who had not been able to gain an advantage for a long time, tried to attack from the wing after the 15th minute, using their speed to create crosses.

Albrighton returned from injury, giving Pearson more options on the wing.

In the 20th minute, Albrighton broke through along the left flank, faced two defenders, and when there was no chance to pass the ball, he saw Rossi, who was vacant behind the diagonal fullback, and quickly distributed the ball to him.

Prior to this, Rossi rarely picked up the ball on the flanks and was more likely to draw defence into the middle.

The reason why he is here is because he really can't get the ball in the middle.

Rossi's initiative to receive the ball suddenly opened up the team's attacking space, and if it weren't for the average quality of his crosses, Ulloa in the middle would have had a chance to threaten the goal.

The West Brom manager also anticipated that Rossi would pull in a cross.

He let the central defenders make up for the first time, suppressed Rossi on the bottom line, and did not let him play the ball easily.

Fletcher, who had previously followed the defence, stepped into the centre-back position to form a 5-3-2 formation.

Although this will result in a lack of adequate protection in the middle, as long as the centre-backs and full-backs successfully pack Rossi, the ball will not be passed.

In the face of Pulis's targeted defence, the hot-tempered Pearson made a quick decision, and when attacking, Albrighton moved up to the midfield position, and Schlupp changed from full-back to wing-back, and the formation changed to a very aggressive 3-2-3-2.

With the Albrighton organization, Rossi was completely liberated and allowed to devote more energy to attacking.

In the 30th minute, Albrighton, who was gradually familiar with the change of tactics, took the ball in the midfield and sent a precise through ball to Ulloa in the middle.

The Argentine striker leaned against the defender and half-turned after receiving the ball, observing that Rossi had swam past him and was quickly cutting forward.

Although Ulloa did not have the ability to attack on both sides in tandem, Rossi took the initiative to lean up, and at such a close distance, he only needed to pass the ball over, it was as simple as that.

Rossi's instant activation speed was vividly displayed at this moment, and central defender Macaulay turned and chased back a significantly slower step, and was successfully driven into the penalty area by Rossi, stabbing the ball into the goal before the goalkeeper fell to the ground.

1:1！！

Once again, Rossi became the savior of the team.

But this goal, thanks to the assist of his teammates.

Albrighton's uplift is a good link to the team's attack, and if West Brom defends him with man-to-man, then Rossi's retreat can also form a huge threat in the middle.

Pulis never expected that Pearson's on-the-spot command would be so fast and highly targeted.

What he didn't expect even more was that Albrighton was indeed instructed by Pearson to play as a striker.

However, Rossi's retreat and his formation of a double forward are Rossi's own feedback after reading the game.

At Bournemouth, Rossi is not only on the rise, but his football IQ is also skyrocketing.

Able to quickly read the rhythm of the game, analyze the situation, and make appropriate adjustments to change the team's offensive and defensive strategy.

Even Pearson was not able to notice these changes in the first place, and was still complacent about his adjustments.

After stabilizing the midfield advantage, Leicester City played a wave of attacking mini-climaxes, pressing the home team's defense to retreat again and again, and the wind in front of the goal.

In the 40th minute, under the continuous attack of Leicester City, a corner kick opportunity was obtained.

From Albrighton's corner, two Leicester centre-backs headed in the opposition penalty area and Hut scored the winning goal.

1:2！

In the second half, West Brom made a series of changes to the lineup.

However, due to the fatigue of the players before and the unstable mentality of the players due to the backward score, in the 75th minute, Leicester City seized a counterattack opportunity, and Rossi assisted Vardy to score.

1:3！

Although West Brom pulled a goal back in the 89th minute by Gardner, they swallowed the bitter fruit of defeat at home and gave Leicester City three points.

After 32 rounds, Leicester City are bottom with 25 points, but only one point behind Queens Park Rangers and Burnley, and the situation of relegation is slowly becoming clear.

The next opponent is the dark horse of the Premier League this season, Swansea.
