Chapter 207: A Short Vacation
Yoon Hinacho, who is 185cm tall, can give a height advantage to the front line.
Moreover, he is not a center forward in the traditional sense of the word, and can play a fulcrum tandem up front.
Pellegrini's intention couldn't be clearer, to get a header.
For the next five minutes, the Manchester City team continued to pass high balls into the opposition penalty area, drawing boos from the home fans.
[The former Premier League champion, the total value of the players on the field is more than 400 million, and there is nothing to do in the face of a team with less than 70 million. γ
[You can only try to knock on the opponent's goal by rushing through a long pass.] γ
[If you want to say, Leicester City relied on the bus to withstand Manchester City's luxurious attack line. γ
You're wrong. Not only did Lyicester defend well, but they also did a pretty sharp counter-attack. γ
Ooh!
As soon as the commentator's voice fell, there was a sudden low cheer from the home field.
N'Golo Kante's aggressive push forced De Bruyne to miss a pass.
The ball was intercepted by Morgan and distributed to Drinkwater on the left.
[Lyster City's counterattack has started again! ] γ
[Drinkwater passes to Mahrez.] γ
[Mahrez advances on the side and then to the feet of Rossi in the middle.] γ
[Rossi knocks the ball with his heel, passes Fernandinho's defense, and passes to Vardy in front.] γ
[Vardy continues to bring, shoot!]
γ
[Oops, it's a pity that it hit the side-netting, and Manchester City escaped. γ
[If this goal is scored, Manchester City will really be powerless. γ
[It's hard to imagine that Manchester City was beaten by Leicester City in this game, hahaha!
οΌ γ
The commentator's hearty laughter made the faces of Manchester City fans in front of the TV extremely ugly.
If this was at Manchester City's home stadium, the fans would have left the stadium early.
Because this kick is so ugly.
In the 82nd minute, Ulloa came on as a substitute for Rossi, and De Laette replaced Drinkwater, and Lyrcester City had to defend in the next few minutes.
The substitution of Rossi and Drinkwater was also to prepare for the game in four days' time.
The Manchester City players are starting to press like crazy, they want to score, at least a point away from home.
In the face of the team that should win, if it does not win, it will only be further and further away from the championship trophy.
Lyicester City's 5-4-1 formation allowed Manchester City's vaunted short pass to penetrate, and it could not be scored at all, but could only be crossed from the ball.
The game has come to this point, and that's all they can do.
Raheem Sterling was outflanked and blocked,
Otamendi header over the crossbar,
Yaya Toure shoots from distance and flies towards the stands,
Bony grabbed the penalty and was saved by the goalkeeper......
Manchester City's attacks have been defused by their opponents again and again.
In stoppage time, City were awarded a corner and Joe Hart stepped out to get involved in the attack.
De Bruyne carefully squared the ball and raised his right hand after observing the situation in front of goal.
Bang!
His corner, drawing an arc, bypassed the scramble in front of the post, and landed near the penalty spot.
196cm goalkeeper Joe Hart leaps high and heads the ball back to the post.
Bony, who was ambushed here, leaned his body on De La Aet and headed the ball against the goalkeeper's opposite angle.
Schmeichel raised his arm but couldn't stop the ball from flying towards the net.
Morgan took a dip and tried to kick the ball out of the goal, but his right foot kicked into the air and watched it go into the net.

[With the unremitting efforts of Manchester City, the goal was finally scored. γ
[Bony, Manchester City's winter transfer champion last season, finally contributed to the team. γ
[In the difficult situation when the team was behind, he scored the equalizer, scored the face-saving goal, and scored the goal to retain the manager's position. γ
[In this game, only he can leave the Royal Power Stadium with his head held high. γ
[And Joe Hart.] γ
After the goal, Bony took off his shirt as he rushed to his own fans' stands.
Pellegrini was furious, he couldn't understand.
Why celebrate with the fans, waste time.
Why not hurry up and tee off and buy time.
Why take off your clothes and get a yellow card.
Did you take a big lead, or did you score the killer goal?
Now it's just an equalizer, is it worth being so happy?
The referee didn't give much time after Bony's goal, blowing the full-time whistle after Lyrcester kicked the ball into the opposition half.
The two sides drew 1-1.
With a single round result, Manchester City fans may be able to accept such a score.
But anyone who has watched the whole process of the game, no Manchester City fan will forgive Pellegrini for the use of people and tactics in this game.
Against a team aiming for relegation, Manchester City managed just 57 per cent possession and 14 shots on goal with only seven on target.
12 free kicks and 13 corners before a goal was scored.
With such data, what to compete for the league title.
The sound of Pellegrini's dismissal began to spread after the end of this match.
Losing the three points that were about to arrive left the Lyrcester players a little disappointed.
But Ranieri did not rebuke too harshly, but after the game, he led his coaching staff and the players to run five laps around the King Power Stadium as a punishment.
At the end of the 19th round, Lyicester City only scored 1 point, tied with Arsenal with 39 points, tied for the first place.
Due to goal difference, Arsenal are temporarily at the top of the table.
They are followed by Manchester City with 36 points, Tottenham Hotspur with 35, Crystal Palace with 31 points and Manchester United with 30 points.
Four days later, Lyicester City host Bournemouth.
Bournemouth have had a difficult start to the game, and Eddie Howe's side have shaken off their previous slump altogether.
They now sit 14th in the table with 20 league points.
They are also on the same number of points, along with Chelsea and Norwich.
The day after the New Year, the two teams played each other.
Bournemouth, who are still on the brink of relegation, have shown super resilience.
They spare no effort to run, fierce and aggressive scramble, and are the most headache for all giant teams.
However, halfway through the game, the physical fatigue caused by the long battle made the players drag their tired bodies and move slowly on the field in the second half of the game.
There will be no more quick counter-attacking scores, and the pace of the game has become sluggish.
Coupled with frequent fouls, the game was often interrupted, making the scene a little boring and boring.
With such a tedious game, Pixie in the stands became a bright spot in the game.
She was the first to jump up and cheer after Rossi's goal, brandishing the blue number 24 shirt.
[Rossi scored again against his old club.] γ
[This is already his 10th consecutive goal, and after Jamie Vardy, he is the second player to equal Ruud van Nistelrooy's record of 10 games.] γ
[What's wrong with Lycester City this season, they have created too many incredible things. γ
[Also, this is Rossi's 15th league goal of the season and is already firmly at the top of the scorer charts.] γ
[With this goal efficiency, Rossi will be a favourite for the Golden Boot this season.] γ
[Ranieri's coaching card can be regarded as preserved in advance. γ
But Lyicester City did not hold on to the win until the end of the game.
In the 82nd minute, Bournemouth's midfielder Ricci equalized.
At the end of this round, Arsenal are at the top of the table with 42 points, followed by Lyicester City in second place and Manchester City third.
In the next week or so, Premier League teams will play League Cup matches.
Lyicester City were out early and the team was given a respite.
The Premier League has also entered the winter phase of recruitment, and teams have begun to replenish players and increase the depth of the bench.
On the day of the game, Rossi took Pixie to London for a short break.
