Chapter 66
Manchester City.
2011-2012 Premier League champion.
2012-2013 Premier League runner-up.
This season, they topped the Premier League standings, surpassing the giants behind.
Even the substitutes are at the level of the main force in other teams.
That's how awesome they are.
Even the substitutes have a clear advantage in front of Leicester City.
Before this game, Manchester City had just gone through several fierce battles.
A week ago, they ushered in the powerful Bayern in the Champions League group stage.
Facing a super strong opponent, they won 3-2 away from home.
After Pellegrini took over the team this season, the team is currently unstoppable and maintains the momentum of competing for the championship on multiple fronts.
Three days ago, they faced their league rival Arsenal.
People thought it would be a peak showdown, but it turned out to be a massacre.
The score of 6-3 made Arsenal lose face.
Manchester City scored many times, and Arsenal couldn't find the their selves at all.
If it weren't for Walcott's sudden inspiration and two goals, they would have completely collapsed.
Now, they are facing Leicester City.
"We can finally take a break!"
Outside the Etihad Stadium, the arrogant Manchester City fans shouted at the camera.
"Even if we faced the super strong Bayern and the fast-attacking Arsenal, we still won! We Manchester City are the best in the world!"
"This game will definitely be a massacre! Leicester City is so unlucky to have drawn us, hahahaha!"
"Even if we only send out substitutes, we will beat Leicester City to death!"
"Those guys who used to play for Manchester United, today I will show you what color the Manchester sky is!"
In the square, several Manchester City fans were making arrogant statments to the interview camera of Sky TV.
At this time, the Leicester City bus had already entered the stadium.
Amid the cheers of the Blue Fox fans, the Leicester City generals and coaches got off the bus.
The security level today is not high. After all, the two teams have no grudges and the fans are still friendly to eachother.
In the gaps between the sparse security walls, countless fans squeezed up to find the Leicester City players and coaches to ask for autographs and take photos.
The Foxes were all satisfied.
A reporter who had just finished an interview with Sky TV walked over: "Coach Pearson, what do you think of this game?"
Pearson hated being interviewed in such places. He glanced at the Manchester City scarf on the reporter's shoulder and was even more unhappy.
He snorted coldly and kept walking.
Shakespeare behind him took care of the aftermath: "We will definitely go all out in this game!"
The reporter curled his lips and looked disdainful: "The gap between you and Manchester City is too big. I'm afraid it's useless to go all out."
Shakespeare snorted and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Drinkwater, De Laet and James came over, and the Sky TV reporter tried to stop them.
"As former Manchester United players, what do you think of this game?"
"Not much, go all out."
The three of them also walked over coldly.
Behind them, Xia Xing followed.
This time the reporter directly grabbed Xia Xing's clothes, which was very impolite.
"Xia! As a player on loan from Manchester United, what do you think of this game?"
Xia Xing threw his sleeves and said, "Go all out!"
"Go all out again... your opponent is Manchester City."
"What's wrong with Manchester City?are they not human beings!"
As soon as Xia Xing said this, the reporter was choked.
"This... you know the sky in Manchester now..."
"It's black."
"This..."
The reporter was speechless.
Nonsense, it's night now, of course the sky is black.
And you guys are going to compete against Manchester City?
How arrogant!
The reporter turned his head to face the camera.
"Did you hear what the arrogant Chinese kid just said?
"He said Leicester City is going to play against Manchester City!
"This is too arrogant!
"If you didn't remind me, I would have thought that Real Madrid or Barcelona were the guests today.
"But even if they are at the same level as them, didn't they still get killed by us in the Champions League?
"It seems that Manchester United's loaning of Xia is reasonable.
"What future does a brainless kid have?"
Facing countless TV viewers, the Sky reporter spoke without restraint.
In fact, he is not a Manchester City fan, and the reason why he helps Manchester City speak is just for traffic.
You know, the number of Manchester City fans has suddenly increased nowadays.
At least much more than Leicester City fans.
There is a market for speaking for them.
He will appear in the VIP room as a Sky TV commentator in a while.
It is conceivable that the broadcast of this game must be very unpleasant for Leicester City fans.
Outside the stadium, arrogant reporters and commentators chattered non-stop.
In the away team's locker room, the players were laughing excitedly.
Drinkwater: "Xia! You had so much steeze just now!"
De Laet: "You're right! We are playing against Manchester City!"
James: "I am confident that I can beat them!"
Xia Xing also smiled and was full of confidence.
Pearson saw it and nodded secretly.
The team has performed well in the English Championship during this period, and the 10-point lead at the top of the table has made Leicester City players full of confidence.
Facing Manchester City in this game, even if it is difficult and dangerous, there is no ounce of fear at all!
Pearson had already told the players about the goal of this game before the game.
They had to "Go all out".
That's right, it's the "go all out" that everyone just said.
Facing the powerful Manchester City, everyone actually knows what the result will be.
It's too depressing to say that they will definitely not win.
But the chance of winning is too small.
So as long as everyone goes all out in this game, it will be enough.
Being able to score a goal against Manchester City and show excellent form is Pearson's biggest expectation.
The players ran onto the field to warm up, but the Manchester City coach had not arrived yet.
Ten minutes later, they finally arrived.
From the faces of the opposing coaches and players, it can be clearly seen that they were relaxed about the game.
Yes, if the Premier League leader is playing against the Championship leader and is still nervous, then Manchester City can forget about competing for a championship in top five leagues.
Manchester City players ran out of the locker room and ran onto the field to warm up.
Pearson looked up and nodded secretly.
Just like what he learned, there were almost no core players on the field.
Facing Manchester City's luxurious superstar group, Leicester City was almost unable to cope.
But facing this group of young substitutes, Pearson felt that he still had the strength to fight.
Manchester City coach Pellegrini walked out of the player tunnel and saw Pearson standing on the side of the field at a glance.
He was not an arrogant person, and he walked up politely to shake hands with Pearson and say hello.
"Hello, Coach Pearson."
"Hello, Coach Pellegrini."
"Congratulations on your team's win over Burnley and leading the Championship by ten points. It looks like we'll meet in the Premier League next season."
"Congratulations on your team's wins over Bayern and Arsenal. I wish you good results in the Champions League and the Premier League."
"I have a feeling this game will be exciting."
"It will be!"
