"Pellegrini is known as the"Chilean Engineer", not only because he has a degree in civil engineering at university, but also because he is good at"post-disaster reconstruction" for the team.
Last season, Mancini's Manchester City fell into a certain predicament, and was defeated by Leicester City in the League Cup and lost the championship.
Since Pellegrini took office, he quickly kneaded the team, and won the Premier League championship in the second half of the season.
Pellegrini's 4-2-3-1 system has been quite mature since the Villarreal period.
After the introduction of De Bruyne this season, Manchester City has now demonstrated a strong offensive power after a period of running-in.
The more three-dimensional offense makes them not afraid of the opponent's dense defense.
3:0 Southampton, 4:0 Sunderland, 4:1 Tottenham, 6:0 Hull City, in addition to Aguero's 14, Yaya Toure, De Bruyne, David Silva, and Navas have blossomed.
The biggest test for Leicester City today is whether they can withstand Manchester City's powerful firepower.
From the beginning of the game, Leicester City did not take the risk of playing against Manchester City, and still used the defensive counterattack tactics that they are more familiar with in recent rounds."
The commentators of this Premier League match are still Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu.
After the game started, both sides were temporarily afraid of the opponent's attack and did not play too fiercely.
Manchester City mainly formed ball control in the midfield, and
Leicester City did not press high, but formed a dense defense in the back, using the advantage of numbers to compress Manchester City's development space.
Like two top masters, they wandered around and observed before fighting, waiting for the opponent to make a move.
Whenever they found a flaw, they would quickly jump up and deliver a fatal blow!
"Leicester City lined up in a 4-5-1 formation today; goalkeeper Schmeichel; defenders Richie De Laet, Liam Moore, Wes Morgan, Konchesky; midfielders Drinkwater, Matty James, Lindsay, Paul Gallagher, Mahrez; lone striker Jamie Vardy;"
"Also on the bench for the Foxes are Cambiasso, who signed for this season, and Japanese striker Shinji Okazaki."
"For Manchester City, Pellegrini still used the starting lineup from the previous round; goalkeeper Joe Hart; defenders Sagna, Kompany, Mangala, Clichy; midfielders Yaya Toure, Fernandinho, Jesus Navas, David Silva, and Kevin De Bruyne; the forward line is still Aguero who is in hot form recently;"
"Lampard, Nasri and Dzeko are temporarily on the bench. After the contract of former Chelsea star Lampard expired, he joined Manchester City as a free agent and has made 7 substitute appearances this season."
……
Perhaps it was because of the skyrocketing ratings of the Premier League in East Asia, especially the large number of Chinese fans who have become fans of Leicester City.
The English Football Association deliberately moved up the schedule for Leicester City's games, starting at 10 pm, just in time for watching the game and going to bed.
The LeTV Sports live broadcast room was also full as usual.
For this six-point championship battle, Chinese fans were still worried about Leicester City.
"I feel like Manchester City is not easy to play against. They just won 6 games in a row, averaging two or three goals per game."
"Manchester City is not easy to play. Look at my Fox configuration. Except for Lin Mo, it is just a bunch of"
"Stop being so mean, Vardy and Mahrez are both awesome"
"Lin Mo has to feed them the ball."
"It's hard to imagine that a Chinese person could lead the team to the championship."
"It's outrageous that a Chinese person has become the backbone of the team, but I love watching it."
"The restrictions on Lin Mo today are really strict. He doesn't even have a chance at the start."
"Lin Shen Chong!"
Due to the slow pace of the game, the chat interface of the live broadcast room and many football forums were hotly discussing this game.
From the scene, Pellegrini has put a lot of effort into Lin Mo.
First of all, on the offensive end, Manchester City has reduced individual sticking to the ball this time.
When facing Lin Mo, the two core organizers, De Bruyne and David Silva, tried to kick the ball out and bypass Lin Mo's defensive area.
Or attract Lin Mo to one side and quickly move to the weak side.
To limit Leicester City's counterattack, Pellegrini also made corresponding arrangements.
Fernandinho has almost become Lin Mo's bodyguard, following him wherever he goes.
As long as Lin Mo shows signs of getting the ball, he will almost collide with him at the first time, even at the cost of fouling.
And in different positions, the teammates around him will also form double-teaming cooperation to form a regional number advantage.
Manchester City can't get in, Leicester City can't attack, and the scene suddenly became a little stiff. Stuck.
Across the screen, it was enough to feel the suffocation of Leicester City, and
Lin Mo on the field felt that he was trapped in quicksand.
He looked back at Fernandinho next to him, and tried to change direction left and right to get rid of him.
When Brother Drinking Water passed the ball to him, Fernandinho started instantly, and his black and hard body formed a fierce collision!
Lin Mo has been training his muscles vigorously in the past two seasons, and his attribute points have also increased a lot of strength, which can withstand the collision of many Premier League players.
But Fernandinho is still very strong, and he knocked Lin Mo off.
Lin Mo used [Gravity Dribble] to protect the ball and did not let Fernandinho easily steal it.
Then Yaya Toure and Navas doubled over from different directions.
Seeing that Navas was about to stretch his legs to steal the ball,
Lin Mo made up his mind, stretched out his left foot forward and hooked the ball back, while stepping on the ball as an axis, turning around to bypass Navas, and using fried meatballs to dodge Yaya Toure's pressing
【Basic probability + external probability 30%! Rose Dribble Triggered! 】
While moving around, Lin Mo had already rushed out from the triple team!
"Lin Mo - Beautiful escape!!"
The slightly dull game was suddenly accelerated by Lin Mo, and cheers broke out at the Royal Power Stadium!
Zhan Jun also instantly became energetic!
Seeing Lin Mo sprinting forward with the ball,
Manchester City defenders Kompany and Mangala did not rush to grab the ball, but slowly retreated to block Vardy's position.
On both sides, Manchester City's defense was also quite stable, always paying attention to the running positions of Gallagher and Mahrez.
Lin Mo also planned to use [All-round Pass] to send the ball out, but the reasonable passing routes were cut off by Manchester City, the teammates in front were closely watched, the success rate of the ball behind him was not high, and the ball at his feet could easily slow down the rhythm.
Lin Mo simply kicked it himself!
"Suddenly kicked (aiah) long shot! Lin Mo!!"
"Joe Hart!!! He pounced! The ball slipped out of his hands!"
The incident happened suddenly, and the Manchester City players were almost scared out of their wits. Fortunately, Vardy was also half a beat slower to react. When he rushed to grab the ball, Kompany had already arrived and kicked the ball out of the baseline
"Corner kick!"
"After 10 minutes of the game, Leicester City took the lead! Lin Mo's 30-meter long-range shot was quite threatening, making the entire Manchester City team sweat!"
"Because the ball was so powerful, goalkeeper Joe Hart was even hit into the goal!"(To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Zhan Jun was secretly shocked after reading it.
Although the ball was not scored, Lin Mo still boosted the morale of Leicester City.
After being oppressed by Manchester City in the first 10 minutes, someone needed to stand up and fight back!
Look at the cheers at the King Power Stadium, the fans are cheering for Lin Mo's long shot!
"What a pity!"
Lin Mo saw that there was no suitable passing route, and wanted to take a gamble himself, but unfortunately the superposition time was not enough, and it was difficult to trigger the [Sniper Shot] with a 10% chance, and the angle of his kick was a little bit right.
But the good news is that a mark was superimposed
【Swordmaster Lancelot's Lost Angel Mark (1/3)】
The opposing goalkeeper was Joe Hart, so it was reasonable for him to try to sneak a shot.
The corner kick was taken, and Lin Mo was almost surrounded by Kompany and Fernandinho.
Fernandinho even used a hidden trick to pull Lin Mo's jersey to prevent him from jumping, pulling it once and then releasing it, which was difficult for the referee to detect.
This is a common trick used by South American players, very dirty but effective.
As a result, Lin Mo failed to compete for the landing point and was cleared by Kompany.
"Hey! They fouled!"
Lin Mo complained to the referee Atkinson, but he didn't take it seriously.
He could feel that Pellegrini really valued him and all the defensive focus was on him.
This was the consensus of the Premier League coaches. As long as Lin Mo was contained, Leicester City's attack could be ended.
"So far, Manchester City has done a good job in defending Lin Mo. He was targeted almost all over the field and dared not be careless."
Coach Zhang saw it very clearly.
"Manchester City's formation is like a pocket, separating him from his teammates"[]
"Yes, when facing a weak team, Lin Mo can rely on his personal ability to break through. However, facing the focus of the strong team, Leicester City can't take too much advantage... Instead, Manchester City has to exert its strength!"
Zhan Jun's voice suddenly increased!
After Leicester City's corner kick attack failed, Manchester City quickly launched a fast break!
Central defenders Wes Morgan and Liam Moore went forward to compete for the header and had not returned yet.
Lin Mo also stayed in the penalty area and had no time to return to defense.
Manchester City quickly kicked the ball, and David Silva stopped and passed, wiping out the water brother and passing the ball to De Bruyne!
De Bruyne's advancement speed was very fast, and he came to the top of the arc in an instant, forming a 3-on-2 situation!
Then, he suddenly sent a very strange arc to the ground!
The football bypassed two defensive players and went straight to the back point!
"Aguero made a diagonal run to attract the defender, leaving Navas completely empty at the back post!"
"Navas!!!
At that moment, the hearts of all the Foxes fans skipped a beat!
Fortunately, Navas did not expect that De Bruyne could make such a perfect pass!
He started a little slower, and when he arrived at the landing point, he just touched it with his toes. The football had no power and was confiscated by goalkeeper Schmeichel.
"Leicester City escaped!!! This goal was the most threatening attack so far in the first half!"
Zhan Jun and the fans breathed a sigh of relief at the same time
"De Bruyne! His pass perfectly bypassed the defender! This is Lin Mo's best passing method!"
"Today, it will be a showdown between two of the world's top passers!"
When Lin Mo saw De Bruyne's pass, he knew it was going to be bad!
Because the line of his ball was exactly the same as [All-round pass]!
It is worthy of being the future"No. 1 Middle School in the World"!
This attack did not score, but it also sounded a wake-up call for Lin Mo.
It seems that the conventional offensive method is useful for other Premier League teams, but it is not so easy for Manchester City.
With the lessons learned from Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United, Manchester City will not easily let Mahrez and Vardy get in touch with themselves.
There must be a Plan B!
Otherwise, if De Bruyne is allowed to play, he will lose the ball sooner or later!
The good news is that when head coach Ranieri first came to the team, he talked about this issue with Lin Mo.
During this period, Lin Mo and his extra training team are also strengthening their cooperation with each other.
Although it has not been practiced well, it is time to take it out for testing!

That’s right, this is the secret item that Lin Mo redeemed a week before the competition!
