Hexagonal monster crushing European football

Zhao Yi and Aguero were in front at the same time, and Manchester City also began to use the opportunity of set pieces to start looking for opportunities to break the dense defense.

Huth's very amateur defense caused Leicester City's defense to have many problems.

Ranieri saw it and was anxious in his heart.

If it weren't for Morgan's timely replacement, Leicester City would have fallen behind by two goals in the first half.

At halftime, Ranieri did not hesitate and directly replaced Huth.

Hu Te no longer has much confidence in the confrontation with Zhao Yi.

The first round of competition still left Huth with a lot of psychological shadow.

Zhao Yi's first header in this game was another big shock.

Ranieri kept encouraging the players in the locker room.

They need three points and need to keep pressing Manchester City.

Once you lose the game, your chances become even slimmer.

He continued to provide psychological counseling to the defense personnel.

Then he asked Vardy and Mahrez.

The most important thing is not to worry, not to be afraid.

Be brave and make moves with the ball.

Even if the ball is lost, it doesn't matter.

How can you score a goal if you dare not move forward?

How can you win if you are timid and worried about the opponent's counterattack?

The most critical point for Leicester City is not Vardy, but Mahrez on the right.

Facing Manchester City, the explosive points on the wing are even more important.

At the beginning of the second half, Leicester City obviously increased its defense against Manchester City's high-altitude balls.

Once they discover that Zhao Yi has strong header ability, they will make targeted deployments.

After Huth came off the field, Leicester City's double central defender partnership was not bad, at least it would not allow Zhao Yi to find a particularly large opening.

Staying at the center position, Zhao Yi will have less ball rights.

But the threat will not be reduced. Both he and Aguero can stretch the defense and find good opportunities for others.

David Silva and Gundogan are positioned very forward and have shots that threaten the goal at any time.

Leicester City wanted to wait for an opportunity to counterattack, but the experienced Silva and Gundogan firmly controlled the rhythm of the field.

Kante, Drinkwater, it’s hard to get the ball away.

Although Manchester City's interception ability has dropped a lot, their ball control level has improved significantly.

It hardly gives the opponent a chance to counterattack.

Leicester City's opportunity still comes.

Silva's ball is difficult to grab, but De Bruyne's ball can still be grabbed.

De Bruyne's offensive characteristics are very distinctive, which also means that he easily loses the ball.

Compared with Zhao Yi, he always has the will to move forward.

This means that flaws may occur at any time.

In the 60th minute of the game, De Bruyne was observing the situation on the wing. Kanter lurked behind him like a cat, stretched out his calf, and accurately grabbed the ball.

Then he turned around.

Manchester City players quickly started to defend.

Zhao Yi, who was at the front, had a hard time retreating to defend.

This is the difference between the forward and midfield positions.

If he is in the midfield position, he can rush back with full power.

Kanter took the ball and turned around, moving forward while observing the movement of his teammates and Manchester City's defense.

Mahrez was really taken care of.

Therefore, the smart Kante passed the ball diagonally with a big foot.

Found Shinji Okazaki on the left.

Manchester City's defensive players were all staring at Mahrez, and Shinji Okazaki was completely missed.

At this time, Shinji Okazaki also showed his very top game reading ability.

After receiving the ball, he cut inside, then pushed the ball and rushed to the side, attracting Sagna and the chasing Gundogan to the side.

Mahrez on the wing stepped in immediately and was ready to respond at any time.

When Shinji Okazaki delivered a cross, Mahrez caught Joe Hart's attention.

Vardy arrived in the middle and threw himself out.

A kick in the air!

Leicester City equalized the score.

The three offensive players quickly counterattacked and completely penetrated Manchester City's defense.

This is Leicester City's efficient counterattack, and it is also Manchester City's slightly thin defense.

Guardiola was speechless. Six minutes later, Fernandinho replaced Gundogan.

Manchester City need to strengthen their defense a bit.

As the game progressed, Manchester City's defense began to slowly move backwards.

Physical problems, coupled with fear of Mahrez and Vardy's counterattacks, made Manchester City take the initiative to move backwards.

And this gives Leicester City considerable space.

Leicester City very much hopes to take all three points and take away the victory.

A draw is still a drop in the bucket for them.

The football game is like a spring. When one side goes backward, the other side will move forward.

Leicester City's defense still remains vigilant enough.

Aguero took the initiative to retreat and gave the space in front to the taller Zhao Yi.

Morgan has been guarding Zhao Yi. If Huth hadn't performed abnormally in this game, the two of them would have been able to limit Zhao Yi.

Once Zhao Yi appears at the front, his threat is actually much smaller.

A few minutes later, Leicester City full-back Fox passed the ball and was intercepted by Stones.

Stones' biggest advantage is that he doesn't need to look for his teammates after getting the ball. He can directly drive the ball forward.

Allow for more receiving points.

Stones kicked the ball out, and Drinkwater who was blocking him was easily thrown away.

When Leicester City players surrounded him, several Manchester City players had already separated their positions.

Always ready to catch the ball.

Stones glanced at Zhao Yi, and he did not have enough ability to directly pass to Zhao Yi.

But someone has.

Stones used his strength to send the ball to De Bruyne near the center line.

De Bruyne didn't even look forward and just kicked the ball!

Kanter arrived and wanted to steal the ball, but unfortunately this time De Bruyne didn't take the ball at all and chose to pass it directly to Zhao Yi who was moving forward in the middle.

This pass is extremely penetrating.

This is also what De Bruyne is best at.

As the football progressed, Simpson and Shinji Okazaki both tried to intercept it, but unfortunately they both failed.

The football was directly given to Zhao Yi in the middle!

What's even more powerful is that this pass does not reach Zhao Yi's feet, but has an advance amount.

Allowing Zhao Yi to throw off his arms and rush forward.

Morgan and Zhao Yi were the only two people left in the entire frontcourt.

Zhao Yi turned around and rushed towards the football.

Morgan was obviously half a beat slower. He saw that Zhao Yi might get the ball in advance and form a one-shot.

Get started now.

In terms of Premier League confrontation, the referee will not call such a small move.

Morgan tried to block Zhao Yi with his hands. Even if he failed, he could interfere with Zhao Yi's speed and prevent him from receiving the ball quickly and smoothly.

Morgan stretched out his hand to intercept, and Zhao Yi followed suit and pushed directly on Morgan's arm.

Morgan was already a step too slow. He stretched out his arms to intercept, and his center of gravity was unstable.

This time, when Zhao Yi exerted force, Morgan lost his center of gravity and rolled all the way on the lawn in a very embarrassed state. He got up again after two laps.

"Single-handed ball! Zhao Yi! Sure enough..."

"I didn't get past the goalkeeper and fired directly from the penalty area!!"

Facing the attacking Schmeichel, Zhao Yi, who knocked Morgan to the ground, took the ball and kicked it with a swing.

Little Schmeichel opened his arms like an old hen protecting his chicks.

It's a pity that I don't have enough energy to spare.

The football rushed up and hit the upper left corner of the goal!
