Star Card System

Both sides were determined to win this game, and all the main players played.

Leicester City had to strive to win, and a draw was not acceptable.

So they deployed a 3-4-3 formation, which was full of attacking power.

Goalkeeper Schmeichel.

Three defenders Evans, Morgan and Justin.

Four midfielders Chilwell, Tielemans, Ndidi and Albrighton.

Three forwards Iheanacho, Vardy and Harvey Barnes.

On the bench were Choudhury, Perez, Gray, Praet, Matthew, James and other players.

On the Manchester United side, they had several injured players who could not play.

In this intensive schedule of more than a month, Manchester United inevitably encountered injuries.

Today Manchester United is still in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Goalkeeper De Gea,

Four defenders Luke Shaw, Jones, Maguire, Dalot,

Double defensive midfielders McTominay and Drinkwater,

Three front midfielders Greenwood, Xia Xing, Mata,

Center forward Ighalo.

Many of Manchester United's main players were injured in this game, such as Matic and Fred, and both main defensive midfielders were absent due to injuries.

And Wan Bissaka, Rashford and James were also slightly injured.

So Solskjaer adjusted the lineup and sent out players with excellent conditions to the maximum extent.

In addition, Pogba was also injured.

During this period, Pogba has performed really well. If he had not been injured, Solskjaer would have considered letting him start in this game.

But unfortunately, he sprained his ankle in training and was seriously injured.

According to the team doctor's estimate, he will be out for at least three months.

In other words, it is hard to say whether he can debut smoothly in the second half of the season.

But even so, Manchester United still has a certain psychological advantage today.

After all, they can keep their fourth place in the league as long as they draw.

But unexpectedly, they ran into trouble at the start.

The referee blew the whistle and the game began.

Leicester City took the lead and launched a fierce attack at the start.

They were in urgent need of goals, so they were full of momentum and fierce bombardment in this game.

As soon as the game started, Vardy suddenly accelerated and rushed through Manchester United's midfield line!

Facing McTominay, Vardy had an obvious speed advantage and rushed past him directly!

McTominay was careless!

The game just started, and he hadn't fully entered the state, and he ran into trouble!

The most important thing was that they didn't expect the opponent to be able to sprint so quickly at the start!

He was tall and was passed, and he didn't even have time to return to defense, so he could only watch his opponent ride away!

But at this moment his partner was very experienced and quickly rushed up!

As Vardy's old teammate, Drinkwater knew him very well!

Just when he was about to use his speed to break through, Drinkwater thought that there might be trouble!

It was true!

Drinkwater quickly got up and followed closely, but he was still not fast enough!

Just pull him up!

It doesn't matter if he gets a yellow card, anyway, he can't let him score at the beginning!

Vardy was pulled and his speed really slowed down!

His opening breakthrough can only end!

In fact, he can choose to fall to the ground and ask for a free kick, absolutely no problem.

But he didn't do it.

Because it's too far from the goal, it's not cost-effective to fall to the ground and ask for a free kick.

Vardy thought for a while and decisively chose to pass the ball!

The ball went straight to the right, looking for Harvey Barnes!

This 22-year-old Leicester City teenager is a product of Leicester City's youth training camp.

He was loaned out for several consecutive seasons to level up and returned in the winter of 2019.

As soon as he returned, he quickly became an important member of the team!

His excellent speed, dribbling and finishing ability made him even called "the next Vardy" by fans!

At this moment, Barnes received a pass from Vardy and stopped the ball a little longer, avoiding the left-back Luke Shaw who was trying to steal the ball!

Then, he accelerated and sprinted straight to the ball!

At this time, Luke Shaw chased back and couldn't keep up with his pace!

He received the ball and swung it sideways, rushed into the goal, and volleyed it!

The ball hit the near corner!

De Gea made a full effort, but the ball was blocked with all his strength!

Manchester United escaped!

Although there was no goal, the King Power Stadium was filled with applause!

The game had just started, and their team showed a momentum like a rainbow!

There was a good chance of winning this game!

And then, Leicester City's attack was higher and higher!

Manchester United was obviously at a disadvantage in the opening stage.

Seeing this situation, Solskjaer hurriedly asked the team to retreat appropriately, defend with all their strength, and try to withstand the opening stage.

But can they withstand it?

When he received Solskjaer's instructions, Captain Xia Xing frowned.

He knew Leicester City better than any Manchester United player on the field.

For Leicester City, their biggest characteristics are tenacity and resilience.

Such a team feature allows them to create miracles repeatedly.

And this game is related to the hope of the Champions League next season, so they are going all out.

The opening attack suppressed Manchester United, and Manchester United also retreated to defend, and Leicester City's attack became more fierce.

And Rogers, who is full of Manchester United, is looking forward to defeating Manchester United on any occasion.

After Vardy and Barnes's joint attack at the beginning, their attack continued to be fierce.

In the 11th minute of the game, it was Vardy's pass again, accurately finding Iheanacho on the left.

Since he transferred to Leicester City for 27.7 million euros in the summer of 2017, he has been under considerable public pressure.

However, as Leicester City's second striker, Iheanacho has performed very well this season.

Especially in the second half of the season, after missing many games due to injury, he played 18 times in the second half of the season, scored five goals and assisted seven times.

And also participated in many offensive opportunities of the team.

This is quite good for a 23-year-old young striker.

As a striker, he has very comprehensive skills and good physical fitness.

Especially assists and passing ability, which are very important.

He is more advanced than Vardy this season, but he has selflessly helped Vardy score goals many times.

This time, after receiving Vardy's pass, he made a low shot in the penalty area and went straight to the far corner!

De Gea fell to the ground with all his strength and blocked the ball!

Leicester City missed a good opportunity again!

And four minutes later, their attack came again!

Almost the same position and the same way as before!

Vardy received the ball and passed it diagonally to Iheanacho!

Facing Dalot's defense, Iheanacho chose to speed up and rush into the penalty area again!

The young Dalot was thrown away!

Facing De Gea, Iheanacho kicked again!

But this time he did not shoot, but chose to pass the ball!

The ball was passed back to the forward in the penalty area!

Vardy rushed to catch up!

Maguire attacked quickly, but how could he catch up with Vardy's speed?

Facing his teammate's pass, Vardy did not stop the ball and kicked it directly!

The ball went into the net!

1 to 0!

Leicester City scored the first goal!

They broke the deadlock! (End of this chapter)
