Back in the home dressing room, Pearson's first words were:

"Guys, I want to say, you guys did a good job in the first half!"

"But the game is not forty-five minutes, it's ninety. To win this game, we have to stay focused in the second half! ”

Seeing that his team actually suppressed Chelsea in the first half, Pearson, who did not have much hope for this game, couldn't help but feel a little ambitious.

He's hungry to win this game!

You know, Leicester City has not won any of the five meetings with Chelsea.

And he wants to break that embarrassing winless record and become the first manager to lead Leicester to beat Chelsea!

Thinking of this, Pearson is even more motivated.

After praising the players' performance, he pulled the tactical whiteboard next to him and began to draw with a marker:

"Ling, you can try some diagonal long passes, pass to the area behind the central defender, so that Jamie can rush up..."

'Riyad [Riyad], you can add dribbling on the flanks and create set-piece opportunities..."

"Andy..."

After carefully laying out the responsibilities and tactical details of each player, Pearson clapped his hands and gathered everyone into a circle in the middle of the dressing room:

"Guys, this is our home field!"

"Let's give back to the fans in the stands cheering us on with a win!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone shouted the slogan of Fox City in unison:

"Forward, Blue Fox !!"

The fifteen-minute intermission was fleeting.

The players of both teams walked out of the tunnel again and returned to the pitch.

"Welcome to the FA Cup fourth round live broadcast from Sky Sports..."

'In the second half, Chelsea made personnel changes...

It is worth mentioning that Mourinho was the first to make changes in the second half.

He first replaced the starting left winger Eden Hazard with winger Andre Schurrle, who had just moved from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer.

Then he replaced Oscar, a midfielder who played normally in the first half, and replaced Ramirez, a more defensive midfielder with a wider coverage area, and Nemanja Matic to guard the midfield.

Finally, Frank Lampard in midfield was pushed straight up front to play a double striker with Torres.

From 4231 to 442, Mourinho is obviously not willing to take a draw away from the King Power Stadium!

For Mourinho, this game is dispensable.

Strategically abandoning the FA Cup and focusing on the league and Champions League is the wisest option for Chelsea's ageing squad.

Especially after Christmas and a series of devilish fixtures in January, Hazard's fitness reserves have long been in doubt.

If Eden Hazard were injured, they would have lost a blade that could tear through the opposition's defence.

That would be a fatal blow to Chelsea, who are expected to compete for the league title!

Therefore, this is why he replaced Eden Hazard and changed the formation.

And in the FA Cup before reaching the quarter-finals, if you can't decide the winner within 90 minutes, you need to play a replay!

Replays will only waste time and the players' fitness, and will disrupt their game plans.

So, this ball, win or lose!

But it must not be flat!

。。。

The game started again.

Seeing Mourinho make substitution adjustments and switch to two strikers, Pearson thought that the opponent finally planned to take the initiative to attack and strive to win this game.

However, when he saw Hazard sitting on the bench with ice packs on both thighs, he suddenly understood something, and his heart rippled.

This game, it seems that there is a real chance!

In his opinion, Mourinho replaced Hazard, who had the best performance, and changed the formation, not to win this game, but to give up this game strategically.

Because, according to his research on Chelsea's game, Chelsea has never played in a 442 formation in the past half season!

That's why Pearson thinks Mourinho intends to give up.

Compared to Chelsea, Leicester City have a bit more depth on the bench.

Moreover, after discovering the big treasure of Ling Feng internally, Leicester City's midfield reserves can fully cope with the two fronts of the league and the FA Cup.

The desire to win and morale are also much higher than Chelsea's stars.

With all of this happening, Pearson feels more and more that his team may really be able to win this game and advance to the next round!

Thinking of this, he began to discuss with Walsh, the assistant coach sitting next to him:

"Steve, how do I feel like the Portuguese is going to give up this game, what do you think..."

Just when Pearson was excited, Ling Feng, who was standing on the field, also noticed Mourinho's substitutions and changes in the second half.

This surprised him a little, but also found it a little funny.

Live on the spot?

It is worthy of being the lifelong enemy of Guagua!

As the whistle blew in the second half, Torres and Frank Lampard up front, Schurrle and Willian on either flank, and Ramirez, who was full of energy, slammed up like arrows from the string.

Chelsea's tactics, from the defensive counterattack in the first half, suddenly turned into a high press!

And in the face of sudden pressing, Leicester City's players were clearly a little unprepared.

Fortunately, Ling Feng showed the basic ability of a midfield commander in time.

"Focus!"

"Give me the ball!"

He shouted to his teammates as he moved to an open seat to respond.

In terms of the quality of the players, Leicester City are still slightly inferior.

However, under the command of Ling Feng, the Leicester City generals united as one, showing a strong desire to win and teamwork.

Every Leicester player spared no effort to run on the turf, making up for the gap between the players with active movement.

Eventually, Leicester managed to keep the ball at their feet.

Even so, Chelsea changed their defensive posture in the first half and began to press Leicester City to bombard at half-time.

Chelsea's style of play is very simple and rough, that is, a 45-degree cross - bomb!

In the 49th minute, Chelsea won possession and unleashed a surprise attack from the right.

After Willian swooped left and right, he pulled out the space for a kick-to-cross and sent a 45-degree cross.

Morgan, who had been prepared, jumped up directly to push the ball out of the danger zone;

In the 57th minute, Chelsea launched an attack from the left!

Schurrle used his speed to make soup directly, and after passing De Wright, who was declining in fitness, he sent a curling cross directly with his left foot into the box.

This time, Frank Lampard, who was interfered with by Moore, got his hands on the ball, but it didn't hit the back of the net and slid out.

'Chelsea changed their style of play clearly in the second half, they became very proactive and kept putting pressure on Leicester's backline with wide crosses...

"Leicester's defence, it looks precarious..."

However, with the formation pressing, there was inevitably a gap at the back for Chelsea.

Opportunities are coming quietly.

And Ling Feng was also very keen to capture the fleeting opportunity.

In the midst of the high-pressure pressing, Ling Feng struggled to get the ball again near the arc of the center circle.

Feeling the heavy aura of Ramirez behind him, Ling Feng was like a long eye behind him, and directly flicked the ball out, creating space for passing.

Then, with his left arm raised, he sent a long diagonal pass directly to his feet.

With a bang, the ball shot straight behind Chelsea's right centre-back David Luiz!

Judging that the ball landed behind him, David Luiz immediately chose to turn around and chase back.

However, there is someone who is faster than him!

Striker Jamie Vardy, who had been silent for nearly 70 minutes, finally had a chance to sprint with all his might!
