Star Card System

After five hours of training, Xia Xing left the system panting.

Although the physical fitness was not greatly affected, the pressure was still great.

But the gains were great.

It was great to be next to Juninho and watch him take free kicks.

And he could watch his touch position and hitting rhythm carefully through the replay, and Xia Xing felt that he had learned a lot.

It was just a pity that the system character could not talk to him.

Otherwise, the effect would definitely be better if he taught by words and deeds.

Xia Xing also practiced himself after the game. He fought hard to improve his personal strength.

But other Leicester City players did not fight so hard.

After a Europa League game where they tried their best, the physical fitness of the whole team declined seriously.

Three days later in the Premier League, Pearson made a large-scale rotation.

Although the league is important, he cannot tire out all the players.

After all, the Christmas devil schedule has just begun. If the players are injured because of the pursuit of a temporary victory, it will not be worth the loss.

On November 26, Leicester City narrowly defeated Red Bull Salzburg. On November 29, Leicester City resumed the battle in the Premier League.

At Loftus Road, Leicester City played away against Queens Park Rangers.

As a newly promoted team that was still fighting in the Championship last season and successfully upgraded this season, this is the first time that the two teams have met in the Premier League.

Although the experience is similar, the situation at the moment is different.

One is the second in the league and has a strong momentum at the beginning of the league.

The other is the bottom of the league. From the moment the opening whistle of the Premier League this season sounded, it has already entered the rhythm of relegation.

But despite this, Queens Park Rangers is still very motivated today.

Because in this game, their goal is to win.

Although the league rankings of the two sides are very different, Leicester City has many unfavorable factors today.

On the one hand, they take turns to fight, and today is still an away game.

On the other hand, they almost played with a full substitute lineup in this game.

These players often play against Queens Park Rangers in the Championship, and they are very familiar with them.

When they were in the Championship, the two sides also played back and forth.

So in this game, Queens Park Rangers expects to win three points and take a few more steps towards the shore of relegation.

Leicester City has various unfavorable factors today, and the whole team is under great pressure.

Especially the fact that they have not won for many rounds in the league is a problem.

But there is also good news today.

Vardy has returned from injury!

In the warm-up before the game, Xia Xing found Vardy with a lob pass.

Vardy received the ball flexibly and very smoothly.

However, Xia Xing could see that he was still a little afraid to make a move.

This is a common problem for many players after returning from injury.

Because of the previous injury, they are particularly careful about filling in the injured position, which makes it easy to make unsmooth movements on the court.

It will not only affect the performance of the technical level, but also very likely to cause secondary injuries.

Seeing Vardy like this, Xia Xing was happy.

"Jamie, pass the ball back!"

"Good!"

Vardy knocked the ball to Xia Xing, but the force was not strong.

But Xia Xing was just the opposite.

"Jamie, take it!"

He said, but he exerted force directly on his feet!

The powerful shot went straight to Vardy!

Not to mention Vardy, the teammates around him were all shocked!

But Vardy is Vardy, he quickly dodged to the side, caught the ball with his instep, and released the force backwards the moment he touched the ball.

"Nice stop! Perfect!"

Vardy felt his ankle shaking slightly, but it recovered quickly.

After moving it a few times, it was fine.

He smiled.

He raised his head and gave Xia Xing a thumbs up.

Thank you brother!

Xia Xing also smiled.

Vardy understood him.

He wanted to use this method to make Vardy a little nervous and move bigger.

There is no problem with your body. If the team doctor agrees to let you play, there is no problem.

And Xia Xing's shot just now looked powerful, but he actually controlled the power.

If he really let go of the shot, Vardy would never be able to catch it.

The warm-up went well.

Back to the locker room, accept Pearson's instructions.

Pearson didn't say much.

Because although the players on the field today are substitutes, their running-in degree is even better than that of the main players.

They are very familiar with each other's cooperation.

"In this game, we will still focus on defense and counterattack, and play fast breaks. Especially don't be anxious. Remember, don't really think of yourself as a Premier League powerhouse. We are a team at the same level as our opponents. And the opponents are more anxious to win than us, so we must keep steady."

Pearson's words are simple, but very effective.

Yes, if you think it is a contest between the second and the bottom of the league, it is estimated that this game will be troublesome.

But if you think of it as a reunion of former Championship opponents and lower your posture, this game will be easier to play.

In the player tunnel, Xia Xing met an acquaintance.

Rio Ferdinand.

The former Manchester United central defender terminated his contract with Manchester United this summer and came to Queens Park Rangers.

"xia."

"Senior."

Although the two have not known each other for a long time and have not been together many times, they both have a good impression of each other.

When Xia Xing was in the Manchester United youth team, he played football with Ferdinand.

Ferdinand has heard Giggs mention this supernova from the youth training camp more than once.

"This summer, I thought you would return to Manchester United and become the future of Manchester United."

"It's all fate, be well with each other."

"You're right, after all, I've left Manchester United, be well with each other."

"I heard that the senior was injured some time ago, how is he now?"

"No big problem, I should be able to defend you."

"Then I look forward to meeting you on the court!"

"Okay!"

The two high-fived, their eyes were like torches!

In fact, the two were not in the same position, so it was difficult for them to meet...

The players of both sides ran onto the court and took their positions.

The referee blew the whistle and the game began!

As expected by Pearson, Queens Park Rangers took the lead in this game.

A fierce attack at the beginning, obviously wanting to grab points at the beginning.

However, under the double defense of substitute central defenders St. Leger and Upson, striker Eduardo Vargas failed to shoot with power.

The opening attack ended in vain.

Next, Leicester City's midfield pass was intercepted by the opponent's midfield veteran Barton.

Hammond failed to protect the ball, and it was too late to counter-steal!

Barton made a straight pass and passed it to Vargas again!

The 25-year-old Chilean striker received the ball at the edge of the penalty area, adjusted it slightly, and shot it!

The ball went straight to the far corner of the goal!

The substitute goalkeeper Benhamer jumped high, hugged the ball steadily, fell to the ground, and pressed it under his body!

Leicester City successfully defended again!

But at this time, Xia Xing frowned.

Even in defense, it was a bit passive.

Today, Queens Park Rangers is very powerful.

There have been two fast breaks. Although no goals were scored, they both resulted in attacks.

And they were all within the goal range.

It's not good to be pressed by them like this all the time...
