Star Card System

2014 is over.

Although Leicester City ended with a three-match draw in the Premier League, their 2014 is still unforgettable.

In this year, they finally returned to the Premier League.

No one mentioned the "Watford miracle" anymore.

And the historic FA Cup championship made Leicester City ecstatic.

In the new Premier League season, they started with seven consecutive wins and continued to dominate the standings.

They also successfully qualified from the group stage in their first appearance in the Europa League.

These are the joys that Leicester City players brought to the fans.

Even now that the team has lost its second place due to three recent defeats, the fans are full of expectations for the future.

In particular, the joining of several new players has made everyone more excited about the 2015 game.

On January 1, 2015, three new players arrived.

The photo of them holding up the Leicester City jersey appeared on the front page of the Leicester Evening News.

That night, captain Morgan held a New Year party to welcome three new teammates.

Morgan patted his new partner Huth on the shoulder and was in a very good mood.

"Man, you look stronger than me, that's great."

And Vardy was also very friendly to Kramaric.

Even though they were competitors, the strikers led by Vardy still welcomed the Croatian shooter because he could increase the team's strength.

Veteran Schwarzer was even more popular.

As a veteran who has been in the Premier League for many years, he is experienced.

Even if he is only the third goalkeeper and may have few opportunities to play, he plays a big role in the locker room.

Many times, he can even make reasonable suggestions for the team's tactics.

Pearson has even begun to consider including Schwarzer in the coaching staff in the future.

There was a small episode at this party.

Young James Pearson drank too much.

There was nothing special about this young man from Leicester City's youth team.

In fact, Morgan invited all the first-team players today, and there were no youth team players.

The reason why James Pearson was able to participate was entirely because of his father Nigel Pearson.

Because his father was the first-team coach, he also joined the Leicester City Youth Training Camp.

However, his talent was mediocre and he did not have any outstanding performance.

But for his father's sake, everyone took good care of him.

But today he drank too much.

He even touched a young female clerk who came to deliver wine.

The hot-tempered Konchesky was so angry that he almost taught him a lesson, but was stopped by the captain Morgan.

When the vice-captain Schmeichel saw this scene, he simply proposed to send the drunk James Pearson back.

Seeing this kid get on the taxi, everyone was relieved.

Vardy: "Fortunately, the atmosphere was not ruined by this kid today."

Mahrez: "Yeah, I didn't expect the coach to have such an unreliable son."

Konchesky: "I have a hunch that one day the coach will be influenced by his son and something big will happen!"

This was a sullen remark, and no one took it seriously.

However, when this season ends, everyone is very sad when they recall today's scene again...

This dinner did not last too long. Although it is the New Year, the intensive schedule is still there.

On the second day, Leicester City will usher in the 20th round of the Premier League.

Their first opponent in the second half of the season is the powerful Liverpool.

But speaking of strength, Liverpool is just that.

They are not in the best condition. The overall state of the team is sluggish. They have suffered consecutive defeats and the possibility of competing for the top four this season is getting smaller and smaller.

But in front of Leicester City, their Premier League experience is still top-notch.

From the first minute of this game, Liverpool took the initiative.

In this continuous and intensive schedule, Liverpool's Premier League experience is very useful.

They can allocate physical strength more reasonably to cope with consecutive events.

Leicester City made a certain degree of rotation in this game, and their strength was not at its best.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Gerrard's shot hit the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line.

The Leicester City fans in the stands exclaimed.

At the end of the first half, Sterling suddenly accelerated with the ball, passed De Laet, and a low shot in the penalty area slipped out.

In the end, the first half ended with 0-0.

Such a result is already very good for Leicester City.

After all, they were far less aggressive than their opponents in the first half.

Especially Vardy was injured, Crosswood left the team, and Ulloa and Knocket on the front line failed to seize the opportunity.

Mahrez on the right was alone.

The situation remained the same in the second half.

Until the 75th minute of the game, Pearson made a substitution adjustment.

He replaced Kramaric and Albrighton to enhance the strength of the midfield.

Especially Albrighton's appearance was to liberate Xia Xing and give him more opportunities to participate in the attack.

The effect of this substitution was immediate.

In the 81st minute of the game, Xia Xing intercepted the ball in the middle and suddenly accelerated to sprint!

Three Liverpool defenders surrounded him instantly!

This is the norm in this game!

However, they could block Xia Xing's path, but they couldn't stop the ball's trajectory!

The ball went straight to the front left of the penalty area!

Kramaric moved quickly and received the ball steadily!

At the edge of the penalty area, a low shot!

The ball went through Mignolet's fingers!

Straight into the far corner of the goal!

1-0!

So wonderful!

The Croatian striker who scored was very excited!

This was his first appearance for Leicester City, and he scored with his first shot!

It was amazing!

He rushed to Xia Xing and hugged him tightly!

In the end, Leicester City also won a narrow victory over Liverpool with this goal, ending the three-game winning streak in the league and retaining the third place in the league.

In the third round of the FA Cup three days later, Leicester City challenged Newcastle away.

This is the starting point of their FA Cup this season.

Considering multi-line operations, Pearson still rotated a large area.

After all, the domestic cup competition is already a training ground, and there is no energy to invest too much manpower.

All three new players started in this game.

In the end, Leicester City defeated their opponents 2-0 away and won the first FA Cup victory of this season.

It is worth mentioning that Leicester City's defense was extremely stable in this game.

The new combination of captain Morgan and new player Huth is shining.

Although Huth is as tall as Konchesky, Huth has better defensive ability.

After all, he was a rising star in Germany and was gifted.

Not only is he excellent in defense, but he can also help in offense.

The second goal of this game was scored by him after receiving a free kick from Xia Xing and heading the ball into the goal.

This was also the goal that determined the victory.

And goalkeeper Schwarzer also improved his position in Pearson's heart with this game.

He became the team's second goalkeeper.

Leicester City won two consecutive games at the beginning of 2015, and new players have a new look!
