Even if it was an opponent, Ling Feng, who saw the "acquaintance", took the lead in showing a bright smile.

Facing Ling Feng's smile, Maguire was confused.

Does this guy know me?

Why are you smiling at me?

And smile so brightly, so sunny?

Or does he think I'm a bully and laugh at me?

For a while, Maguire's mind was full of thoughts.

However, before he could react, Ling Feng had already withdrawn his gaze.

This makes Maguire even more inexplicable.

"Is it my delusion?"

Temporarily suppressing the doubts and incomprehension in his heart, Maguire followed the team slowly into the King Power Stadium.

"Welcome to the quarter-finals of the English FA Cup in the 13~14 season, where the home team Leicester City will face the visiting Sheffield United..."

"We're here at the King Power Stadium to deliver a live commentary..."

"Let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides..."

To put it mildly, Harry Maguire is arguably the best player in this Sheffield United team.

A Sheffield United Academy graduate, he has been an integral part of Sheffield United's defensive stalwart since his promotion to the first team in 2011.

Sheffield United have been in average league form this season.

After 34 rounds of league play, it is only ranked 11th, and there is a certain points gap from the direct promotion seat.

But in the FA Cup, the "Blade" is in hot form.

They eliminated Premier League side Aston Villa in the third round, Fulham again in the fourth round through penalties after two draws, and easily beat Championship side Nottingham Forest in the fifth round...

With the amazing performance of knocking out Premier League and Championship teams in succession, Sheffield United can be called the biggest dark horse in this season's FA Cup!

And Maguire is the absolute hero of this Sheffield United team reaching the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The value of 1.5 million euros is also the first in the team.

That's why Pearson focused on telling him about this.

Apart from Harry Maguire, there are really few players in Sheffield United's squad who pose a threat to Leicester City...

。。。

Beep~~~

With the referee's whistle, this battle between dark horses and dark horses officially began!

The difference in quality, coupled with the away game, Sheffield United put forward a very pragmatic 451 tactic of defensive counter-attack from the beginning.

This is also the main tactic they employ in League One.

Under Harry Maguire, the leader of League One, Sheffield United's defence has been excellent.

The league has conceded five goals from the bottom, behind only the top four teams in the league!

However, no matter how well the defense is, if the striker does not score, it is in vain.

Coincidentally.

Sheffield United also rank fifth from bottom in league goals, just one drop behind the bottom-placed teams.

This is enough to prove that this Sheffield United team is a team that is strong in defense and weak in attack.

So, from the first second of the game, Leicester City took control of the situation on the field, pressing Sheffield into the half and rubbing wildly.

However, with the whole line retreating into their own half, Sheffield United squeezed the space so narrow that Leicester couldn't penetrate with short balls.

The middle was too crowded, and Ling Feng had to try to pass the ball to the two wings, allowing the two wingers to use their individual abilities to break through and create a threat.

It was out of tactical considerations that the need to open up the situation from the flanks saw Knoket, who had the better technique at his feet, replace Nugent as the starting left winger.

And he also strictly followed the tactical instructions, constantly dribbling on the left side, and breaking through.

In fact, Knoket also held back a lot of energy in his heart.

In his opinion, after missing the crucial penalty in the promotion play-off more than half a year ago, he has been training and playing hard to try to get out of the negative impact of that penalty.

And such a diligent attitude has also been recognized by the head coach.

In the first half of the season, he was also the team's main right winger.

However, after Ling Feng was promoted to the first team and Riyad Mahrez moved in, everything changed!

He suddenly fell victim to a change in tactics, from starting right winger to being a substitute who could only play on the left and right flanks.

Conokett, of course, wasn't happy either.

However, without him, the team's record has become better, and a wave of wins has come directly.

As a member of the team, he is both happy and a little disappointed.

As a result, given a limited number of starts, he hopes to prove to the club and the manager that he is better than Ling Feng at least when it comes to dribbling, which he is best at!

And under his frequent breakthroughs, Sheffield United's right side was frequently pulled open.

After breaking through the space, Knoket didn't play a high cross, but swept his left foot into the middle.

Several low crosses created chaos in the penalty area.

If it weren't for Jamie Vardy, who was caught between two tall Sheffield United centre-backs, he would have almost grabbed the front post and formed a shot.

Even so, he did not forget to give Konoket a thumbs up:

"Good shot!"

In desperation, the midfielders who came to help him could only stop him by fouling.

"Pretty!"

"Oh, Knokite is pulled down!"

"This is undoubtedly a foul!"

In the 17th minute, Leicester won a set-piece opportunity on the left near the touchline.

After taking a look at the position in the penalty area, Ling Feng deliberately passed a curved ball into the crowd, wanting to create chaos.

If Harry Maguire had tipped the ball into his own goal, he wouldn't have been surprised at all.

However, at the moment when the ball flew into the penalty area, a red and white figure jumped up and used that big head to push the ball out of the danger area with a "bang".

Dingqing took a look, and it was Maguire who grabbed the first point!

Holy, so top?!

In the next 20 minutes, whether it was a cross from the side or a curling cross from a set-piece, as long as it was a high ball into the Sheffield United penalty area, it was destroyed by Maguire at the first time.

Even the narrator couldn't help but exclaim:

"Maguire tonight, rule the sky!"

However, football is a team sport.

Even one god can't bring ten pig teammates.

And even more so a juvenile version of an aircraft carrier?

The high ball can't pass your Maguire's big head, and I can't do it with a through ball on the ground?!

As a result, Ling Feng began to pass some scalpel-like short through balls frequently, allowing Vardy to get behind the central defender.

Vardy sprinted down several times, and Maguire's bulky size and slow turn-back speed were exposed.

In the 40th minute of the game, Ling Feng, who came to the front of the big penalty area, once again kicked a hidden through ball into the penalty area.

And Vardy, who was clinging to Maguire, turned around and interjected.

Maguire turned a little slower, and didn't dare to reach for it.

Another centre-back came to help, but it was a little bigger and it touched Jamie Vardy's knee.

With a scream, the latter fell.

In the next second, the referee blew the whistle with a decisive "beep" and stretched out his hand to point to the penalty spot!
