The two teams have very different tactical styles, which is a stark contrast.

Manchester City took the initiative on the pitch but were unable to break down their opponents' impregnable defences.

If you rush to cross the ball, not only does it not threaten the goal, but it is also very easy to give the opponent a chance to counterattack.

Last season, Manchester City lost the league title, eight points behind leaders Chelsea, and it was a losing season.

This season, the team is aiming not only for the league title, but also for the Champions League.

There was a lot of pressure on Pellegrini.

Away victories are his best priority.

He knows very well the essence of the Italian defence, not being able to pass the ball aimlessly outside the opponent's penalty area.

"Toure, go forward, go forward!"

With the midfield at a disadvantage, Yaya Toure stepped up to join the attacking midfield and used his passing to tear apart the opposition's defence.

When Yaya Toure got the ball, Rossi moved closer to his side, which not only interfered but also kept him from pressing.

Fernandinho also moved over to help cover the gaps behind his team-mates.

Yaya Toure distributed the ball to the weak flank, and full-back Sagna dribbled along the touchline, led away the defence, and then crossed the ball to De Bruyne.

Bang!

De Bruyne takes the ball high and passes into the box, bypassing the front two defenders and coming to the back of the net.

Schmeichel didn't dare to take it with his hands, clasped his hands together in fists, and knocked the ball out of the box and into the feet of Inle.

Riyad Mahrez on the right had already reached for the ball, and Rossi and Vardy also stepped forward for the first time.

Inle shifted his foot wide and crossed to the open on the right to let Mahrez run to his heart's content.

Rossi first pressed down the middle, forcing Fernandinho to mark himself and allowing the centre-backs to attack to defend Mahrez.

3v3。

Although Lyicester City does not have a high possession rate, once a counter-attack opportunity is formed, the threat to the goal is far greater than that of the opponent.

Riyad Mahrez attempted a feint but couldn't shake off Mangala's defence.

And because of the delay in timing, three players of the opponent returned to the defense.

Full-back Sagna stepped in at the back, while Yaya Toure and Silva also came from the centre to the centre.

Only Drinkwater cut in from the back.

Mahrez could only knock the ball back into the middle first, hand it to his team-mates, and continue to walk towards the wing, taking away Mangala's defence.

When Drinkwater received the ball, Rossi moved to the left to pick up the defence, and Jamie Vardy suddenly started up and slipped diagonally behind Fernandinho.

It's a common interspersed run between the two, and Drinkwater understands it, first dribbling horizontally to the left to make the defender think he is going to pass the ball to Rossi.

Once he had managed to draw the defence's attention, he used the outside of his right foot to flick the ball to Jamie Vardy, who was slanting in.

At the same time, Rossi quickly turned and inserted in, instantly widening the distance between him and Fernandinho.

After Vardy received the ball, he didn't have to think, instinctively, and knocked the ball back with his heel to Rossi, who was unguarded in the middle.

[Good opportunity, single knife, Rosie single knife! ] 】

[Is there a chance to come to Stert City this time?] 】

Rossi faced the attacking goalkeeper with his body center of gravity to the right, and the sheep suit to the right to break through the defense.

After goalkeeper Joe Hart's center of gravity moved, Rossi quickly flicked the ball to the other side with the outside of his left foot, and his body broke through to the left.

[The beautiful pendulum is over, and Joe Hart is shaken down.] 】

[Rossi pushes the empty goal! ] 】

[The ball is in!] 】

[Lyrcester City is ahead!] 】

[Simple and practical, and very ornamental action, calm and relaxed in front of the door, chic and elegant, this is the only one. 】

Modern football is all about simplicity and practicality, especially in the Premier League, where speed and competition are very rare.

What's more, Rosie's dexterity and elegance will not make you feel that this is a fancy trick at all.

Poor Joe Hart, once again as a backdrop.

In the first half, Manchester City was scoreless, and the players looked a little down, and quickly returned to the dressing room.

Ranieri was a little caught off guard by surprise by taking the lead by surprise, and he believed that the opponent would fight back wildly in the second half and defend well.

Kante managed to block De Bruyne's pass for most of the time.

However, with only a few passing chances, De Bruyne was still able to create a goalmouth kill.

And David Silva is the initiator of Manchester City's attack.

In order to limit the opposition, Ranieri asked the midfielder to maintain a diamond position and make a trap block on the ball carrier in a local area.

This defensive strategy can limit individual players with outstanding ability and cut them off from the outside world.

But correspondingly, the defensive players must have a high level of tacit understanding and team spirit.

In the second half, the Lyrcester City team kicked off.

After a short break and adjustment at half-time, City quickly got into the game.

Their high pressing caused Lyrcester to lose possession soon after the start of the game.

In attack, Pellegrini also made changes.

Yaya Toure has more possession as the team's attacking playmaker.

David Silva, on the other hand, is slowly turning into a goal finisher.

Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero are more flexible in their positions, often swapping places.

De Bruyne also leaned back and flicked forward a lethal cross at any time while latching on to Yaya Toure.

In the 55th minute, Manchester City had a chance in the middle, Yaya Toure was caught between the opposing two, used his individual ability to bring the ball out, and distributed it to De Bruyne, who was unguarded on the right.

N'Golo Kante, Drinkwater and Simpson quickly formed a small encirclement and locked him down the wing.

De Bruyne looked up and curled a through ball forward with the outside of his right foot to avoid Simpson's defence and find it for Sergio Aguero on the wing.

Ranieri didn't have time to marvel at the beauty of the curling ball with the outside of his instep, but instead shouted out into the field to remind his players to pay attention to the defence.

Sergio Aguero received a through ball and swept it straight to goal.

Raheem Sterling flanked down the middle and was first kicked by Morgan to clear the ball.

From a Manchester City corner, De Bruyne crosses to goal, and Otamendi heads high.

Two threats in a row allowed Pellegrini to see an opportunity.

In the 65th minute, Bony came on and replaced Sergio Aguero.

The Argentine striker had a mediocre performance, with five shots on goal, three off target, two blocked and three lost possession.

Bony came on the pitch to fight for the header.

In the 68th minute, Sterling crossed the ball from the sideline, Bony jumped up and fought for the top, pushed Huter down from behind, and committed a foul.

Two minutes later, full-back Kolarov crossed from the bottom of the net and Bony headed it wide at the back post.

City didn't seem to have much more to attack from the start of the second half, relying on wide crosses.

In the 70th minute, Manchester City continued to make substitutions, with Keylor Navas replacing David Silva.

Silva was active but not fit enough to sustain the next 20 minutes.

Ranieri also made a substitution, with Andy King coming on for Inle to continue to strengthen the midfield defence.

Inler made five tackles and four interceptions, the highest on the team.

But he also conceded possession on three occasions, which was the immediate reason for Ranieri to replace him.

In the last twenty minutes, there must be no carelessness.

Watching the minutes tick by, Pellegrini fidgeted off the pitch, his eyes fixed on the situation on the pitch.

If the team can't even win the league title this season, it will be his last season in charge of Manchester City.

The team has to step up their attack and they have to score goals.

Pellegrini gave the last substitution to academy player Yin Sinachio.

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