Hexagonal monster crushing European football

Fox City's style of play is mainly defensive and counterattack.

Ranieri is more utilitarian and can accept a draw even at home.

Manchester City's offensive line, in terms of overall reputation alone, cannot be compared with world-class giants.

But in terms of offensive power, it is definitely No. 1 in Europe now.

Therefore, Ranieri will never be stupid enough to play against Manchester City.

The game between the two sides officially started.

Manchester City takes sides.

Leicester City gets the ball.

After the kick-off in the center circle, Leicester City was not in a hurry to attack.

Instead, it is transmitted backwards, waiting for Manchester City players to attack, and then looking for opportunities after breaking up the formation.

Nineteen rounds of the league, plus the League Cup and the Champions League.

Manchester City players consume a lot of physical energy, so the current aggressiveness of Manchester City is completely different from that at the beginning of the season.

Their overall playing style is slowly changing.

There was no high-position press at the start.

When Leicester City passed the ball several times, Manchester City's frontcourt players moved forward, but did not press hard.

Leicester City players began to look for opportunities.

Kanter tried to dribble forward, but after encountering Zhao Yi's interception, he immediately separated the sides.

Drinkwater gets the ball and moves forward to find Mahrez.

This is the absolute breaking point for Leicester City.

Mahrez has suddenly emerged this season and performed brilliantly.

Many people believe that he is a short-lived representative and will not have sustained outstanding performance.

It is similar to what some people say about Zhao Yi.

Mahrez himself doesn’t think so.

After holding the ball, Mahrez increased his power. Facing Fernandinho's defense, he did not show any tricks. He started along the wing, then cut inside and got rid of Fernandinho cleanly.

Fernandinho is Manchester City's player with the widest defensive coverage and the strongest defensive ability.

The first round against Mahrez can be said to be a complete defeat.

After the breakthrough, Mahrez was immediately defended by Kolarov.

The polo king is not the director of the polo factory. He will not keep rushing in without thinking.

After a change of direction, the Polo King stepped into the penalty area. Kolarov got stuck inside, but was unable to block Mahrez's cross.

This kick found Vardy in the middle, which was accurate and fast.

Otamendi defended Mahrez's breakthrough line, so the middle became a one-on-one match between Vardy and Kompany.

Under Kompany's interference, Vardy was unable to head the ball to the goal immediately. He could only stop the ball with his chest. After half-turning, he was about to exert force. Kompany stretched out a kick to his side and knocked the ball into the goal. The ball hit the bottom line.

Vardy stumbled and fell in the penalty area, quickly got up and gave Mahrez a thumbs up.

Although the attack failed, the tactics were very successful.

If it was Otamendi behind him, this kick would definitely come out.

Kompany's experience and ability are still stronger and destroyed this attack.

Leicester City corner kick opportunity.

In the penalty area, it was Kompany who headed the ball out again.

Yinler, who caught up, made a mistake in stopping the ball and was kicked out by Gundogan.

Before Manchester City could counterattack, the ball was taken away from Gundogan's feet.

Kanter was small, but his calves were moving very fast, and he ran out of nowhere. Gundogan just looked forward to observe the movement of his teammates, and the ball was gone.

Gundogan also reacted quickly and immediately counterattacked Kanter.

Kanter did not struggle with Gundo Andodo and quickly distributed the ball to Inler.

Gundogan immediately rushed towards Inle.

This is the defensive quality of a professional player, and it will definitely put pressure on the player with the ball in the first place.

This is the time when the steal is most likely to be successful.

Inler distributed the ball to Brighton and mobilized the Manchester City defenders.

Then, a kick was transferred laterally, past Inle, and the ball appeared at Kanter's feet.

Kanter is short in stature but has very strong core strength.

Everyone knows that his interception ability is very strong, which just masks his offensive ability.

He also has a very powerful shot!

boom!

This shot was not blocked by anyone in the Manchester City penalty area, including Joe Hart on the goal line.

Try as he might, Joe Hart didn't touch the ball.

The football grazed the post and flew out of the goal.

It scared Joe Hart into a cold sweat.

Kanter showed two rows of white teeth and touched his little head, feeling very sorry.

If the ball went a little further, it would have gone straight in.

At the King Power Stadium, after bursts of regret, there was a huge round of applause.

They are very satisfied with the team's offense and Kanter's shot.

From the beginning, the team showed a very good competitive state.

Zhao Yi saw that this short man would soon grow into a world-class midfielder.

Both defensively and offensively, he was outstanding.

When Kanter was still playing in Ligue 2, some professional fans in China had already noticed him, and some fans even gave their opinions and asked the Chinese Super League to introduce him.

This view was ridiculed by many fans, who believed that this little man did not have the strength to establish himself in the Chinese Super League.

Looking at it now, some fans of the Chinese Super League have the same standards as the Football Association's selection of players, and they must first pass the test.

Leicester City's attack failed and they retreated immediately.

Their professionalism is unquestionable.

Each player has his own defensive position.

This is a group of soldiers who are united as one and strive to prevent defensive holes from appearing in every corner of the court.

Zhao Yi ran to the frontcourt position.

Leicester City's defense is different from the previous defense against Zhao Yi.

They did not arrange a single defensive player to restrict Zhao Yi, but switched defenses to supplement defense, so that Zhao Yi always had defensive players around him.

This can form a situation of multiple defenses and one defense in a short period of time.

Even if Zhao Yi receives the ball, it will be difficult to form a breakthrough.

Ranieri did not let Kanter, who is best at defense, mark Zhao Yi.

Because he wants Zhao Yi to relax his vigilance and let Kanter seize the opportunity to intercept the ball from behind or from the side.

Ranieri has watched a lot of Manchester City games. Zhao Yi is the initiator of the frontcourt attack. When he gets the ball, Manchester City's full-backs will immediately follow him, forming an offensive numerical advantage.

Gundogan usually stands parallel to Zhao Yi.

In fact, Manchester City only has Fernandinho and Otamendi in the backcourt.

Once Zhao Yi's ball is snatched away, Kanter and Mahrez will launch a very fast counterattack after connecting.

As long as the whole audience seizes one opportunity, it will be enough for Manchester City to drink a pot.

Therefore, in Manchester City's initial attack, Kanter did not press Zhao Yi too tightly.

This guy is smart. Once he fails to grab it, Zhao Yi will definitely be more vigilant in the future, making it even harder to grab it.

Therefore, he must be 100% sure that he can win Zhao Yi's ball with just one move.

Manchester City's ball is constantly switching, and Kanter's position is very strange, basically not appearing in Zhao Yi's field of vision.

Usually next to or behind Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi had always been wary of Kanter.

But Kanter never attacked him, which made Zhao Yi relax his vigilance.

A few rounds later, Zhao Yi faced Yinle's defense in the middle. He had already seen a very good line and was ready to rush into the penalty area in one go.

As soon as it started, Yinle's defense came over, only making Zhao Yi pause for a moment.

One leg stretched out from Zhao Yi's side, and it was very flexible.

The ball was stolen in one go.

Zhao Yi immediately stretched out his legs to prepare for a counterattack. Kanter's calf fell upside down and touched Zhao Yi's legs. He fell to the ground, but he still pushed the ball out!

"Kante! I stole Zhao Yi's ball!!"

"Look at Leicester City's counterattack this time!"

Mahrez took the lead after receiving the ball.

With a hula, Vardy, Inler, and Brighton lowered their heads and sprinted forward.

Joe Hart and Otamendi are the only ones left in Manchester City's entire backcourt!

This is the characteristic of Manchester City's offense. Fernandinho will sometimes support near the penalty area and may shoot a blast.

Because Manchester City has strong control ability, the ball is rarely lost.

Therefore, the backcourt players are positioned very forward when attacking.

Zhao Yi had just made sure that Kanter was far away from him. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, this guy quietly ran to him.

This little thing is really mysterious.

Zhao Yi didn't have time to think too much and immediately accelerated and retreated.
