Seventy-first minute of the game.

Ulloa, the player who saved Leicester City in the last game, is finally on the line.

He replaced Shinji Okazaki and took the center of the team.

As soon as he came up, he exchanged glances with Chen Yufeng, and the meaning was particularly obvious.

Smash it on my head!

This is actually an open-card attack, Manchester City's positional defense, it is difficult to score by transmission alone.

After they are determined to start busing, Leicester will hardly get another chance to fight back.

High ball crosses, which seems to be the only way to break the game.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Boom! ”

For the next period of time, there were a steady stream of high-flying balls smashing into the Manchester City penalty area.

All of City's defenders felt the pressure all of a sudden.

While defending well in the middle, they also began to raise the priority of Chen Yufeng and Mahrez.

The two players were clearly targeted by the Manchester City players in the future.

"Kolarov! Kolarov! ”

On the sidelines, Manuel Pellegrini shouted at the team's left full-back, who was opposite Chen Yufeng.

It can be said that his defensive task is very heavy now.

"Be smart, push him backwards, understand? He's a right-footed player who jams the bottom line! ”

Manuel Pellegrini cleverly exhorted Kolarov: "If he wants to cut inside, there are your teammates who will help you." ”

"Just guard off his right foot cross, and then guard the outside of his right foot, understand?"

After seeing Kolarov nod, Pellegrini glanced at his watch.

It was the seventy-fourth minute of the game.

If this score can be maintained, Manchester City will undoubtedly gain the absolute initiative to advance to the final!

Two away goals!

The next leg is still at Manchester City's home stadium!

They will be able to secure Leicester City and advance to the final of the Carabao Cup!

Pellegrini glanced at Ranieri next to him and couldn't help but chuckle when he remembered Leicester's recent surge in the league.

"What's the use of playing well in the league, it's all in vain before you win the championship."

"If you don't have a champion, you're still the tinkerer, and nothing will change."

Last time, it was a time to see Leicester beat them to win the halfway and have nothing themselves.

Manuel Pellegrini's mood was very bad at one point.

Now, this game is finally the place to be angry.

He's going to step on this team that has been called a miracle and go all the way to the final League Cup title!

Wait until this game is over and return to home with the lead, and the wait won't be long!

Time passed like this, and Kolarov did follow Pellegrini's instructions, and every time he saw Chen Yufeng take the ball, he forced him towards his non-dominant foot.

"Bang!"

In the eighty-fourth minute of the game, Chen Yufeng once again received the football on the side.

During this time, he did not add points, and his physical strength was completely sufficient.

It's a little tired now, weakness compared to others, but it's not a big problem to pass two good balls.

Looking at Kolarov's old routine, Chen Yufeng pretended to be in the middle of the game and took two steps towards the back, and then observed the situation in the middle of the road.

Seeing Ulloa's eagerness, Chen Yufeng took the ball outside with his left foot.

Kolarov was a little overwhelmed when he saw this, did he want to try to pass the ball with his left foot?

He symbolically stretched out his right leg and blocked it.

"Bang!"

Then, he watched Chen Yufeng pass the ball out without pressure in front of him.

Kolarov's eyes suddenly looked at the trajectory of the football's flight, and his heart chuckled when he saw that the backfoot pass was still in a violent spinning arc.

What the fuck is this left foot?

Kolarov was dumbfounded and continued to follow the football.

In the middle, Ulloa faced Otamendi's defence.

Otamendi's elbow quickly headed towards Ulloa's chest, and Ulloa quickly returned the favor, striking his left arm towards Otamendi and jumping.

"Mine!"

He yelled, jumped high to look back at the moon, and flicked the ball towards the back post.

Ulloa's body is definitely not weak, and in the case of active confrontation, Otamendi is certainly not so easy to defend.

Otamendi was too late to jump for the ball, and he looked behind him when he landed.

"Huh!"

The ball quickly smashed into the net, and Joe Hart, who was standing in the middle, had no time to react.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle soon sounded, signaling that the goal was valid and pointing to the centre circle.

The Leicester fans were immersed in the majority of the game, and finally roared again at this moment, and everyone stood up from the stands and erupted in cheers.

"Good shot! Wookaze! Ulloa gave a thumbs up to Chen Yufeng on the side, and then ran towards the center circle with the football in his arms.

The side behind doesn't have much time to celebrate, they have to hurry.

It's a sign of wanting to win, it's a sign of not wanting to give up!

"It's in! Ulloa scored in a row! Hope reserved for Leicester City! ”

Zhan Jun's commentary sounded: "It's an assist from Chen Yufeng again!" And it's an assist on the backfoot! ”

"One to two, there is still suspense in the game!"

Zhang Lu, the guide on the side, added: "Recently, I saw that Chen Yufeng's backfoot seems to be playing more smoothly, and this kick is showing, and the level is very high." ”

"I don't know when I practiced, now Pellegrini and Kolarov may be confused, suffer, I didn't know this when I investigated before the game......"

"When did you practice it? It's weird, hehe......"

In the end, he also showed his own demonic laughter.

And his ridicule is actually ridiculed to the position.

Another thing that I didn't guess was that Pellegrini actually told Kolarov just now that he wanted to put Chen Yufeng on his left foot.

As a result, he suddenly suffered a big loss......

At this point, as Kolarov walked towards the front, ready to tee off again.

He also came to Pellegrini's side.

Somehow, Pellegrini suddenly pretended to be busy, quickly turned around and scratched his hair, then waved his hand at the bench.

I don't know what he's directing, but it looks like he's directing.

Kolarov: "......"

He was very helpless.

I could only swallow this breath and continue to devote myself to the game.

In the final minutes of the game, Leicester did do their best to launch an onslaught against Manchester City, but they did not find many good opportunities because of the city's dense defence.

"Beep! Beep! Beep ——! ”

When the time for the game came, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game in time and did not give more time.

Leicester City, in the end, suffered a 1-2 defeat at home.

That meant they had to go to Manchester City's home stadium in February to face them in the second leg.

The game ended, and the subsequent Leicester City players were a little frustrated.

This is the first time they have felt defeated after a long time.

Honestly, it's not a good feeling, and no one wants to lose.

"But ......"

Ranieri called all the players together after the game, saying: "Losing is not entirely bad, you know? ”

"We've been winning for so long that we've forgotten the feeling of losing, which makes you have high expectations and a baseline for every game, and inevitably a sense of flutter."

'I want everyone to remember this defeat and get back to your best form and move on with the second half of the league as you did after the defeat against Arsenal.

"Okay kids?"

"Come on!"

The Leicester players finally gathered around to cheer each other on, then returned to the dressing room, changed their gear and showered before heading home to counteract the negativity.

Perhaps, as Mr. Ranieri said, losing a game at the right time is not a bad thing.

No team wins all the time, everyone has to learn to face defeat.

There is still a second leg in the Carabao Cup, so it would be nice to play back then.

After the game.

Manuel Pellegrini spoke to reporters in the press room at the King Power Stadium.

Although a goal was conceded in the final moments of the game due to defensive problems.

However, in this two-legged format, the away team has a 2-1 lead, which is actually a relatively safe score.

'Yes, I know Leicester are in good form in the league, they're playing really well and they've got top class players.

Pellegrini's personality is actually calm, especially when facing media reporters, he does not say anything arrogant or provocative.

"In this game, I think it was my players who played well, Sergio Aguero, David Silva, De Bruyne and so on, they started the game very well and executed the tactics very well."

"Although there are fly in the ointment, the flaws are not hidden, and we will win the second leg well,"

"What percentage of the team wins at home, do you have absolute confidence in advancing to the final?" A reporter asked Pellegrini a question.

'Of course I have confidence in my players, but football is round, everything can happen, and it's hard to say absolute confidence at the moment.

Pellegrini had intended to end the press conference in such a safe way, but suddenly, his eyes caught eye on the journalist who had just asked the question, and the microphone seemed to have the 'Leicester' logo printed on it.

This should be the pro-Leicester City local media.

seemed to think of the Leicester City players who celebrated wildly in front of him not long ago, and he finally couldn't hold back: "As for the winning rate, it's eighty percent." ”

When these words fell, the reporters at the scene were in an uproar.

What's the difference between this and a steady win?

However, Manchester City, who took a 2-1 lead on the road in the first leg, did have the right to say it.
