Chapter 67
"This game will definitely be exciting."
When Pellegrini said these words, even he didn't believe it himself.
What's so exciting about playing against a Championship team?
hehehe.
He has been doing well since arriving at Manchester City.
He thought he would encounter some difficulties at the beginning, but he didn't expect everything to be going so smoothly.
First in the Premier League and first in the Champions League group.
The whole team has high morale and competes on four fronts for the championships.
This feels so good.
If he can really get what he wants this season, then he will be the meritorious coach of Manchester City's genesis.
Of course, he will definitely also become a world class coach in international football.
Although he has been in the shadow for many years, Pellegrini is still only a first-class coach, not a world class coach.
The reason is that he has too little trophies.
He was Once a very powerful coach in South American football, with a league championship for river plate, and he also won the discontinued Cops interamericana.
But since coming to Europe, he hasn't won any decent trophies.
Even though he led Villarreal to the runner-up in La Liga and the semi-finals of the Champions League, it was still not convincing enough.
And he tried to coach the galacticos, but was sacked.
Now at Manchester City, he is looking forward to reaching the top.
Starting from this season!
Manchester City sent out many substitute players in this game.
The main goalkeeper Joe Hart still starts.
The back four is Kolarov, Lescott, Kompany and Zabaleta.
Double defensive midfielder Xavi Garcia and Rodwell.
Three attacking midfielders: Milner, Nasri and Navas.
Lone striker Dzeko.
For example, core players such as Aguero and Fernandinho did not even make the 18-man roster.
Even these substitute players are enough to play against Leicester City.
In the live broadcast room, the commentator was introducing the starting list.
"Man City almost had a full substitute lineup in this game.
"Except for goalkeeper Joe Hart and captain Kompany, who are the absolute main players,
"the other players are just substitutes."
"Despite this, they are still more than one level higher than Leicester City."
"Look at the starting players of Leicester City,
" Drinkwater, De Laet, James,
"These are all former members of Manchester United's youth team, and they are not even at the level of entering the first team,
"Xia is even worse, He was directly loaned out and had no chance at Manchester United.
"And we see that the possibility of him returning is very small."
" Vardy, a kid who once played in the eighth level league,
"And Morgan and Konchesky are all at What level?
"It's completely different from Manchester City!
"They can lead in the English Championship only because there is no technique in the English Championship, only physicality.
"If they are lucky enough to get promoted to the Premier League, I believe it will only be for one season, and they will have to go back to play in the English Championship.
"Haha!"
The words of the commentator was very unpleasant and almost mocking Leicester City.
At this time, in the center of the pitch, players from both sides were already in place.
Will Leicester City return in defeat as he said, or will a miracle happen?
