During the halftime break, Guardiola finally couldn't stand it anymore.
He almost sprayed everyone in the team.
"You are useless in the penalty area, retreat to get the ball and support!!" Guardiola yelled at Aguero.
Facing the complex defense, Aguero couldn't get the ball in the penalty area at all.
"Are you going to die in the penalty area??"
Aguero lowered his head and didn't respond. This was indeed his problem.
"Lose the ball, lose the ball, lose the ball! You guys are defended like this by Kante, who is only a little taller than Messi! A defensive player, so tall, can't you deal with it??"
"Defense, defense, defense! A Mahrez makes you so anxious, are you getting paid to be a piece of wood on the court?
I might as well put two wooden stakes on the court!!"
Guardiola got so angry for the first time, and his disciples were like sleepwalking on the court.
If Manchester City had not taken advantage of Leicester City's counterattack at the beginning and quickly launched a counterattack, Manchester City would have fallen behind by three goals now!
How terrible is this? ?
After a while of output, Guardiola's emotions stabilized.
He thought carefully and realized that these people's defensive level did not meet his requirements.
Scolding would not improve their level.
So, he patiently explained again.
He asked the players on the entire left side not to press forward easily when attacking.
Always be alert to Mahrez's counterattack with the ball.
Let Otamendi continue to drag back.
Most of the time, Leicester City's counterattacks were initiated from the right. If this line was strangled, Leicester City's offensiveness would be greatly reduced.
At the same time, Gundogan was assigned more defensive tasks.
"Cheer up, don't make too many mistakes that shouldn't happen, you two..." Guardiola pointed at De Bruyne and Zhao Yi.
"Don't lose the ball easily. Kante's defense is very good, but he is definitely not a match for you two.
Kante's assist in defense is very threatening, but it also means that one of us has an open position!
Do you understand??" Guardiola kept demonstrating the defensive positions of Leicester City players on the tactical board.
"Long shot, long shot!! Fernandinho, Zhao, De Bruyne, Kompany! You all have very strong long-range shooting ability. It is difficult to enter the penalty area. You just look for opportunities to shoot outside!!"
Guardiola knows Leicester City's defense too well.
Because a few years ago, his old rival Mourinho used this trick to force the offensive players outside the penalty area, making it impossible for them to shoot inside the penalty area.
Facing this kind of defense, there are two solutions, the first is long shot, and the second is to compete for the header with a high center forward.
It's just that Manchester City didn't compete for the header at all.
Zhao Yi is tall enough, but his level of competing for the header is not good enough.
Facing Morgan and Huth, it's a bit stretched.
"Go! Kick them!"
"Don't get emotional, don't get into conflict with the other side, the penalty is not good for us." Guardiola continued to instruct.
If the penalty on the field is not appropriate, he will put pressure on the referee, even if he is sent off.
The players must not have any problems.
At the beginning of the second half, Manchester City still controlled the situation on the field.
Their players are much more technical than Leicester City.
However, there are not many opportunities.
Aguero has no effect in the penalty area.
And Drinkwater, Kante, Inler, three defensive players, kept wandering outside the penalty area to block, making it difficult for Manchester City to have long shots outside.
Obviously Ranieri fully saw Guardiola's offensive key points in the second half.
Their defense restricted Manchester City to death.
At the same time, Leicester City still had several good counterattack opportunities.
But because Fernandinho, Kolarov and Otamenditi stood in position, several counterattacks did not achieve good results.
Mahrez also had a hard time playing well.
In the 60th minute of the game, Guardiola directly replaced Aguero with David Silva.
"Is Guardiola's substitution to let Zhao Yi go to the front???"
"Sure enough, Zhao Yi's position is more forward, and Silva stands in the front midfielder position.
Aguero is not very effective under the defense of Huth and Morgan.
Guardiola has changed his style of play, let's see if it works."
Zhao Yi appeared in the center position.
The most important point of a point-grabbing center is to be fierce.
The character must be fierce.
To entangle with the opponent's central defender, you must be domineering and fierce.
Like Costa, Ibrahimovic, Cantona.
If you stare at him with an innocent and confused look like Havertz, you will be completely useless.
"Look at this corner kick opportunity!"
Sterling's breakthrough won Manchester City a corner kick opportunity.
Zhao Yi and Kompany and Fernandinho stood in the penalty area.
Huth kept sticking to Zhao Yi, his hands moving constantly.
Trying to interfere with Zhao Yi's mentality.
Zhao Yi should stand outside the penalty area to respond, he usually doesn't fight for headers.
This time, since he is in the center position, he needs to fulfill his obligations.
Zhao Yi and Huth stretched out their hands and kept pushing each other.
Huth grinned and pushed Zhao Yi out fiercely.
"Softie!"
Zhao Yi was about to fight back when the referee's whistle sounded in time.
He ran into the penalty area and communicated seriously with the two.
Huth kept nodding, indicating that he understood.
Zhao Yi spread his hands, indicating that he was not aggressive.
The referee left the penalty area.
David Silva kicked the ball into the penalty area.
The players in the penalty area jumped up and fought for headers.
Huth jumped up next to Zhao Yi.
He stretched out his elbow and hit Zhao Yi's armpit, making Zhao Yi unable to exert force.
At the same time, Zhao Yi swung his elbow.
With a big turn, his elbow hit Hut's head hard.
A scream rang out.
Hut fell on the grass with his face covered, twitching all over, and his feet kept hitting the grass.
The referee immediately blew the whistle and rushed into the penalty area.
"Oh, Zhao Yi's move!" Zhan Lu watched the replay, and Hut's hand movements were very dirty.
But Zhao Yi's move was clean and tidy, without any delay.
An elbow hit Hut's face.
Hut jumped low, and it felt like he used his face to look up and caught Zhao Yi's elbow at once.
The muscles on his face rippled in circles, like a stone thrown into the water.
This ruthless iron elbow made Hut's head full of stars.
Aguero, who was sitting on the bench, jumped up instantly and almost clapped his hands.
However, he realized that the situation was not right in time and quickly controlled himself.
Huth's defense against Aguero was extremely tough, which made Aguero overwhelmed.
Now, Zhao Yi's elbow made Aguero feel good.
The team doctor came on the court in time, and Huth rolled his eyes and twitched twice.
When he regained consciousness, he saw the team doctor gesturing with his fingers in front of him, but he couldn't see clearly at all.
It was all double vision!
The team doctor immediately gestured to Ranieri.
Substitution!
Stretcher!
Suspected concussion!
