Star Card System

Chapter 175 It's not easy to be a strong team...

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer's eyes lit up.

Today he was completely impressed by Xia Xing's long-range shot.

"Although Southampton's defensive counterattack tactics were very successful,

"But it still couldn't stop Leicester City from scoring.

"You can retreat to defense, you can play defensive counterattacks,

"Even suppressed Chris Wood's header opportunity,

"But,

"They couldn't stop Xia's violent long-range shot!

"As one of the biggest killers to break dense defenses,

"Leicester City only used Xia as a card and scored two goals in a row, leading Southampton!

"Xia performed too well!

"Xia's explosive shot once again made Southampton helpless,

"Foster was able to block the ball out of the goal range,

"It's already done very well.

"But with such a lot of power, it's inevitable that it will slip out,

"Leicester City led the score before the end of the first half!

"They will have an easier time in the second half!"

Listening to Alan Shearer's excited commentary, Carragher next to him opened his mouth...

Forget it, I won't say anything.

These two shots are really damn beautiful, I can't refute them even if I want to...

The referee whistled and the first half of the game ended.

With a one-goal lead, Leicester City happily returned to the locker room.

On the other hand, Southampton was in a bad mood.

They adjusted a position just after the start of the second half.

Goalkeeper.

Foster was replaced and substitute goalkeeper Kelvin Davis came on.

Carragher was puzzled: "Even if we lost two goals in the first half, it's really not Foster's fault. That level of shooting is too difficult to defend."

Alan Shearer shook his head: "It shouldn't be a tactical problem. Maybe Foster has some special situation..."

He guessed right.

After saving Xia Xing's direct shot at the end of the first half, Foster twisted his finger and couldn't hold on any longer.

This is the power of SS-level heavy artillery!

In the second half, Xia Xing received a very high treatment.

Two defensive players stared at him closely.

Not to mention dribbling through, he couldn't even shoot directly!

You can't kick!

Xia Xing was helpless after the opponent destroyed his passing opportunities twice in a row.

After all, it was just a minor foul, and he wouldn't get a card.

In order to "take care" of Xia Xing, the opponent directly resorted to means.

And Mahrez was completely blocked, and Leicester City fell into a stalemate again in the second half.

In the 68th minute of the game, Southampton scored a key goal with a set-piece opportunity.

The substitute right back Maya Yoshida made a cross, and the Italian striker Pelle jumped high and headed the ball!

The ball hit the net hard!

2 to 2!

Southampton equalized the score!

This goal once again brought the two sides back to the same starting line!

Pearson on the sidelines was full of regret.

But there was nothing they could do.

The game continued, and neither side created any more good opportunities.

In the end, the game ended in a 2-2 draw.

Leicester City still failed to end their winless streak in the league.

After this game, Leicester City can finally take a break.

But this break is only for some players.

Because the next week is the national team match day, non-national team members can relax for a short time.

And national team players like Mahrez have to continue to fight.

Even the intensity is higher than the league.

After returning to the team a week later, the players will start intensive training and preparation again.

In the next period of time, Leicester City will start the rhythm of two games a week again.

With an average of one game every three days, the terrifying Christmas season of the Premier League is coming.

On November 22, the twelfth round of the Premier League, home against Sunderland.

On November 25, the fifth round of the Europa League group stage, home against Red Bull Salzburg.

On November 29, the thirteenth round of the Premier League, away against Queens Park Rangers.

On December 3, the 14th round of the Premier League, the home team will face Liverpool, a strong opponent.

On December 7, the 15th round of the Premier League, the away team will play Aston Villa.

On December 10, the final round of the Europa League group stage, the away team will play Wolfsburg.

On December 13, the 16th round of the Premier League, the home team will face the powerful Manchester City.

On December 17, the quarter-finals of the League Cup, the away team will play Derby County.

On December 20, the 17th round of the Premier League, the away team will play West Ham.

On December 26, the 18th round of the Premier League, the home team will play Tottenham.

On December 29, the 19th round of the Premier League, the away team will play Hull City.

Seeing this wave of intensive schedule, Drinkwater sighed: "The schedule is so dense that even James's little brother can't get in."

De Laet looked puzzled: "What do you mean? Shouldn't it be described as the tip of a knife?"

Drinkwater: "It was more appropriate to use something sharper and smaller than the tip of a knife to describe it."

James: "That's enough, you two guys!"

The teammates laughed.

Xia Xing also turned his head and pretended not to know them.

These three idiots are so stupid...

But it is precisely because of the atmosphere group that Leicester City is not too dull.

After returning from the national team, the team's training is very hard.

The previous four consecutive Premier League games without a win have put a lot of pressure on Leicester City's generals and coaches.

It is a good thing to properly adjust and adjust emotions.

On November 22, the King Power Stadium welcomed the Premier League match after the national team match day.

In the twelfth round, the opponent is Sunderland.

This opponent is relatively weak, and Leicester City has not been affected too much by the FIFA virus.

This game must be won.

Pearson even fielded a full lineup.

The bad momentum of four Premier League games without a win should end!

But unexpectedly, this game is still full of difficulties.

Facing the aggressive Leicester City, Sunderland decisively defended.

It was not even a defensive counterattack, only defense, no counterattack.

They have already thought about this game, and it is good to get one point away from home.

The whole team has the same goal and retreats across the board.

Facing the iron bucket formation, Leicester City decisively attacked.

Not to mention the offensive players in the frontcourt, even Xia Xing pressed forward to a great extent today.

Anyway, the opponent has no offense, so just press forward.

Short pass cooperation, cross from the bottom, long shot outside the penalty area.

Countless tricks have been used, but Leicester City still has no hope of scoring.

Mahrez, Chris Wood, Ulloa, Konokate and other players attacked with all their might, but to no avail.

Even Xia Xing fired continuously from the periphery!

But Sunderland players were quite brave, and simply blocked with their bodies, and did not retreat even when they were suffocated.

In the end, Leicester City still failed to win this game.

The score of 0-0 made them extremely regretful.

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer said regretfully: "Leicester City has not won five Premier League games. After being overtaken by Chelsea in the last game, the points gap between them and Chelsea has further widened."

And Carragher next to him said something even more shocking: "The current Leicester City has encountered problems that every strong team will face. It's not easy to be a strong team..."

Alan Shearer: "Huh? What's wrong with you?"
