Football: God-level striker, all teammates lie down

The Foxes' style of play is mainly defensive counterattack.

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

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

But in terms of offensive power, it is definitely the best 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 picked sides.

Leicester City got the ball.

After the kick-off in the center circle, Leicester City did not rush to attack.

Instead, it passed the ball backwards, waiting for Manchester City players to grab the ball, and then looked for opportunities after the formation was pulled apart.

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

Manchester City players have consumed a lot of physical energy, so the current Manchester City's aggressiveness is completely different from the beginning of the season.

Their overall style of play is slowly changing.

There was no high-pressure defense at the beginning of the game.

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

Leicester City's players began to look for opportunities.

Kante tried to dribble forward, and after being intercepted by Zhao Yi, he immediately split the ball.

Drinkwater got the ball and went forward to find Mahrez.

This is the absolute explosion point of Leicester City.

Mahrez has emerged as a dark horse this season and performed brilliantly.

Many people think that he is a representative of a flash in the pan and will not have a sustained brilliant performance.

It is similar to some people's evaluation of Zhao Yi.

Mahrez himself does not think so.

After holding the ball, Mahrez stepped up his horsepower. Facing Fernandinho's defense, he did not do anything fancy, speeding along the side, and then cut inside and cleanly got rid of Fernandinho.

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

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 factory manager, he will not rush in without thinking.

After a change of direction, the Polo King stepped into the penalty area. Kolarov was stuck in the inside line, but could not block Mahrez's cross.

This kick was accurate and fast for Vardy in the middle.

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

Under Kompany's interference, Vardy was not able to head the ball at the first time, and could only stop the ball with his chest. After half turning around, he was about to exert force, and Kompany stretched out a foot beside him and poked the ball out of the baseline.

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

Although this attack failed, the tactical play was very successful.

If Otamendi was behind him, this kick would definitely be pulled out.

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

Leicester City corner kick opportunity.

In the penalty area, Kompany headed the ball out again.

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

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

Kante is small, but his calves are fast, and it is unknown where he ran out. Gundogan just looked forward to observe the running position of his teammates, and the ball was gone.

Gundogan reacted quickly and immediately counter-robbed Kante.

Kante did not entangle with Gundogan much, and quickly passed the ball to Inler.

Gundogan immediately rushed to Inler.

This is the defensive quality of professional players, and they will definitely put pressure on the player with the ball at the first time.

This is the most likely time to successfully steal the ball.

Inler passed the ball to Brighton, mobilizing Manchester City's defensive players.

Then, with a lateral transfer, the ball passed Inler and landed at Kante's feet.

Kante is short, but has very strong core strength.

Everyone knows that he has a very strong interception ability, which just covers up his offensive ability.

He also has a very powerful shot!

Bang!

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

Joe Hart tried his best but couldn't touch the ball.

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

Joe Hart was scared out of his wits.

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

If this ball was a little more off, it would have gone in directly.

At the Royal Power Stadium, after a burst of regrets, there was a lot of applause.

They were very satisfied with the team's offense and Kante's shot.

At the beginning of the game, the team showed a very good competitive state.

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

Whether it was defense or offense, are all very outstanding.

When Kante was still playing in the French Ligue 2, some professional fans in China had already noticed him, and some fans even gave advice to let the Chinese Super League introduce him.

This view was ridiculed by many fans, who believed that this dwarf had no strength to gain a foothold in the Chinese Super League.

Now it seems that some fans of the Chinese Super League have the same standards as the Football Association for selecting players, and the height must be passed first.

Leicester City's attack failed and they immediately retreated.

Their professionalism is beyond doubt.

Each player has his own defensive position.

This is a group of soldiers who are united as one, striving to make sure that there will be no defensive loopholes in every corner of the stadium.

Zhao Yi ran to the front court.

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

They did not arrange a single defensive player to limit Zhao Yi, but through switching defenses, supplementing defenses and assisting defenses, Zhao Yi always had defensive players around him.

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

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

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

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

Ranieri watched a lot of Manchester City games. Zhao Yi was the initiator of the frontcourt attack. When he got the ball, Manchester City's full-backs would immediately follow him, forming an offensive advantage.

Gundogan usually stood parallel to Zhao Yi.

In fact, there were only Fernandinho and Otamendi left in Manchester City's backcourt.

Once Zhao Yi's ball was snatched away, Kante and Mahrez would connect and launch a very fast counterattack.

As long as they seized one opportunity throughout the game, Manchester City would be in trouble.

So Kante did not press Zhao Yi too hard in Manchester City's initial attack.

This kid is smart. Once he fails to snatch the ball, Zhao Yi will definitely be more vigilant, and it will be even more difficult to snatch it.

So he must be 100% sure that he can take Zhao Yi's ball as soon as he moves.

Manchester City's ball was constantly changing. Kante's position was strange. He basically never appeared in Zhao Yi's field of vision.

He was usually next to or behind Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi had always been on guard against Kante.

But Kante never kicked him, which made Zhao Yi relax a little.

After a few rounds, Zhao Yi faced Inler's defense in the middle and saw a very good route, ready to rush into the penalty area in one go.

Just after starting, Inler's defense came over, but it only made Zhao Yi pause for a moment.

A foot stretched out from Zhao Yi's side, very flexible.

He stole the ball in one go.

Zhao Yi immediately stretched his legs to prepare for counter-grabbing. Kante's calf was tossing and bumping with Zhao Yi's leg. He fell to the ground, but he still pushed the ball out!

"Kante! Grabbed Zhao Yi's ball!!"

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

After receiving the ball, Mahrez took the lead.

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

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

This is Manchester City's offensive feature. Fernandinho sometimes supports near the penalty area and may shoot a powerful shot.

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

Therefore, the backcourt players are very forward when attacking.

Zhao Yi just confirmed that Kante was far away from him, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, this guy quietly ran to his side.

This little thing is really elusive.

Zhao Yi didn't have time to think about it, and he accelerated to retreat to defense at the first time.
