Star Card System

With 15 minutes left before the game, Leicester City players received Pearson's final instructions in the locker room.

The whiteboard showed Chelsea's starting lineup for this game.

4-2-3-1 formation.

Goalkeeper Courtois.

Four defenders: Azpilicueta, Terry, Gary Cahill-Ivanovic.

Double defensive midfielders: Fabregas and Matic.

Three attacking midfielders: Hazard, Oscar, and Schurrle.

Single striker: Diego Costa.

On the bench were Ramires, Drogba, Willian, Felipe, Mikel, Cech and other players.

Chelsea's tactical style of play was already familiar to Leicester City players.

After all, the two teams met last season and had studied it in advance.

However, there were some changes this season, mainly in the defensive midfielder position.

Pearson pointed to Fabregas' name.

"In the last game, Chelsea beat their opponents 3-0.

"Fabregas made two assists and one goal, which was a great contribution.

"After joining Chelsea, he quickly became the core of the team's organization.

"To be more precise, he is a metronome.

"Mourinho focuses on defense, so he did not play Fabregas's forward offensive ability.

"He needs the Spaniard's passing and organizing characteristics.

"In this position, as long as he passes a good ball,

"Diego Costa, Hazard, Oscar in front,

"can create good opportunities.

"So we have three points to pay attention to in this game-

"Costa with excellent impact on the front line, Hazard with superb wing skills, and Fabregas, a top passer.

"As long as we defend these three people, it is equivalent to defending the entire Chelsea.

"This game is still the same as the last one,

"First of all, defend steadily and make sure that we don't lose the ball first.

"Mourinho's team's favorite score is 1-0,

"We just gave him 0-0,

"He will be anxious to win the championship,

"Then it will be our chance!

"Come on, boys!

"Like the last game, win the opponent and get back three points! "

As soon as Pearson finished speaking, the players clapped and shouted excitedly.

"We must win!"

"Kill Chelsea!"

"Win and get three points!"

Looking at the spirit of the players, Pearson nodded with satisfaction.

The first round of the Premier League got off to a good start, and I hope everything will go well in this game.

The players from both sides ran onto the court, and the game was about to begin.

Before going on the court, Pearson patted Xia Xing on the shoulder: "Xia, I still need you to run a large area in this game to help Drinkwater defend Fabregas."

Xia Xing nodded: "No problem!"

"You are very close to Fabregas, and defending him will destroy Chelsea's metronome. "

"Good! "

Xia Xing ran onto the field and came to the left side.

Today, Leicester City still arranged the same formation and starting lineup as the last game.

4-4-2 formation.

Goalkeeper Schmeichel.

The four defenders from left to right are De Laet, Konchesky, Wes Morgan, and Danny Simpson.

The four midfielders from left to right are Xia, Drinkwater, Cambiasso, and Mahrez.

The two strikers are Vardy and Ulloa.

The only change is that Drinkwater and Cambiasso in the middle have exchanged positions.

In the last game, Xia Xing ran a lot and often went to the middle to help defend.

In order not to affect the opportunities on the left, Pearson asked Drinkwater to stand in the left midfield position so that he could respond to Xia Xing.

The two have a very good tacit understanding.

"Xia, I am mainly responsible for defending Fabregas in this game, but it is probably difficult. You have to help me more. "

"No problem! ”

The referee whistled and the game began!

Chelsea kicked off first in this game.

Costa and Schurrle passed the ball behind them, and the two accelerated.

Oscar faced Cambiasso's pressure and passed it to the left.

Hazard received the ball lightly.

Mahrez sprinted up to grab it!

Hazard lightly pulled the ball sideways and dodged Mahrez!

In front of right back Simpson, he suddenly accelerated and cut in diagonally!

Simpson hurriedly followed up, so he didn't lose his position!

Hazard took a long shot from outside the penalty area!

The ball slipped out of the goal!

So dangerous!

Carragher praised the shot.

"Great!

"This shot was so sudden and accurate!

"Very good!

"If Simpson's defensive position hadn't been stable just now, Hazard would have entered!

"The penalty area of ​​Leicester City would have been absolutely dangerous!

"Hazard has a good feel today!"

Leicester City kicked off, and the ball was fought over in the middle.

Mahrez's pass to Ulloa was a little slow, and was intercepted by Matic's long legs!

Today's Chelsea double defensive midfielder, one controls the field and the other defends.

Matic is Chelsea's iron gate today!

After intercepting the ball, he directly passed it to Fabregas.

Fabregas decisively passed the ball to Diego Costa!

Costa sprinted quickly and used his body to push Drinkwater away!

He is so strong!

He took the ball to the outside of the penalty area!

Captain Morgan rushed to steal the ball!

Costa kicked it directly!

"Another wonderful shot!

"Schmeichel made a contribution this time!

"He punched the ball out with both fists!

“The entire Chelsea team is in great shape today!

"They are telling Leicester City in their own way -

"We are not Everton!

"This is the real Premier League!"

Next, Chelsea's fast breaks became higher and higher, putting great pressure on Leicester City's midfield and backcourt defense.

Fabregas, in particular, sits in the midfield and can create opportunities with almost every pass.

Whether it is Diego Costa on the front line or Hazard behind him, they all have extremely strong personal abilities.

In the 15th minute of the game, Schürrle received a pass from Cesc Fabregas and blasted a shot from the corner of the penalty area, hitting the lintel.

Leicester City fans were shocked.

Pearson on the sidelines also frowned.

This can’t happen anymore.

Cesc Fabregas was in great shape today.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, he shouted Xia Xing.

"Xia!"

Xia Xing looked back, and Pearson made a gesture towards him.

He got it.

This is what the two of them had agreed upon before.

Xia Xing nodded, quickly came to Drinkwater, and muttered a few words.

Soon, Leicester City's formation and positioning underwent some small changes.

Xia Xing came to the left midfield position and gave up the left wing position to Drinkwater.

In this way, Xia Xing will face off against Fabregas!

From the beginning of the game to now, Xia Xing and Fabregas have never had any chance to face each other.

Fabregas rarely dribbled the ball, he always caught the ball and passed it simply.

Xia Xing also mainly defended Schuerle and assisted in defending Oscar.

Now, the two finally faced each other.

Xia Xing looked to Cambiaso on the right.

Cambiaso pointed to Oscar beside him, and then patted his chest.

Then he pointed at Fabregas, and finally pointed at Xia Xing and extended his thumb.

xia!

Leave this guy to me, no problem!

I leave that guy to you!

I believe in you!
