Chapter 260: Breaking the Door with Agility

Leicester City fans in the stands rekindled the blue flame.

Fireworks rise and cheers rise.

The Leicester City players on the pitch were also excited.

At this time, the Barcelona players looked at each other again.

This, this is a lost ball?

what's the situation?

Captain Iniesta stood there, watching Xia Xing celebrating excitedly, and said nothing for a long time.

Busquets stepped forward and patted the old man: "It's all my fault, I couldn't cut him off."

Iniesta shook his head: "It's not your problem, nor is it the team's problem."

Busquets frowned.

Iniesta stared at Xia Xing closely.

“That kid is too strong.

"That is to say, Leicester City is relatively weak.

“He didn’t have enough room to play.

"His offensive ability is extremely strong. If he is in a wealthy team,

"Maybe he will become our future opponent, a powerful opponent..."

Both sides return to their respective positions and the game continues.

Barcelona continued to look for opportunities in the midfield.

Passing the ball to the left, Neymar chose to go it alone, but was destroyed by Morgan.

It's Leicester City's fast break again.

This time Xia Xing is still the commander of the counterattack.

But when he caught the ball, at least three Barcelona players surrounded him!

Now in the hearts of Barcelona players, Xia Xing is definitely the only one in Leicester City!

He must not be allowed to pass the ball or shoot again!

Eventually, the ball was destroyed.

Barcelona's counterattack almost equalized the score.

If Kante hadn't tackled Rakitic in time, maybe Messi would have done it alone.

At this time, Barcelona had entered a normal state, and Xia Xing also stopped as soon as he got better.

He dropped back and the whole team got the signal.

Start retreating!

Xia Xing stared at the Barcelona players in front of him and thought to himself.

As long as we resist for another 40 minutes, we will win!

Guys, hang in there!

In the following period, Leicester City was indeed holding on desperately.

Many of Barcelona's passes were destroyed by Leicester City's midfield, especially the combination of Kante and Xia Xing, which is getting better and better.

Messi gets worried when he sees Xia Xing, and Neymar gets a headache when he sees Kante.

Plus Drinkwater assists in defense beside the two.

These three defensive midfielders covered a large area and completely covered the defense.

Compared to the first half, their defensive quality was higher.

After all, after playing for nearly an hour, Leicester City gradually got used to the opponent's rhythm.

As long as the key links are controlled, the opponent can be defeated without success.

Time continued to pass, and the game came to 75 minutes.

At this time, Van Persie received a long pass in the frontcourt and failed to head the ball.

He was very tired.

Just when Ranieri was considering making substitutions, Barcelona's offense resumed!

Pique actually took the ball from the backcourt and rushed all the way to the Leicester City midfielder!

With one more player, Leicester City's midfield defense is in chaos!

Pique made a decisive pass!

The ball goes to Messi!

On the penalty area line, Messi receives the ball!

He made a slight adjustment and shot straight away!

The ball hit the ground and hit the far corner of the goal!

"The ball went in!

"Smart goal!

"This time Pique has made a contribution!

“After he intercepted the ball from Van Persie, he accelerated towards the frontcourt with the ball!

"He chose the teammate he trusted the most, and Messi did not betray his trust!

“This shot is really smart!

"Schmeichel was completely blocked by his teammates and had no time to react!

“The ball went straight into the far corner of the goal!

"3 to 3!

"Barcelona equalizes again!

“The competition is even more exciting now!

"Can Leicester City continue to score goals and create miracles?"

Listening to the cheers of Barcelona fans in the stands, Ranieri on the sidelines looked back at the bench.

Now the team is leveled.

He doesn't blame the players.

These boys scored the first goal in the second half to take the lead, and they have been defending until now without conceding a goal.

It’s already not easy.

You know, they are facing Barcelona.

Being able to reach 3-3 with Barcelona here, forcing Barcelona to equalize the score after almost 80 minutes, is already quite successful.

Even if they lose this game, Leicester City can still win applause from all over the world.

But who doesn’t want to win?

Even if the opponent is Barcelona, ​​so what?

Shakespeare asked in a low voice: "Continue to defend, or attack? Or look at Xia's adaptability?"

Ranieri looked back at the bench again. He hesitated for a moment, and his eyes instantly locked on one person.

He waved his hand.

"Guys, it's your turn to show off."

"good!"

"After playing, cooperate well with Kanter and free Xia."

"no problem!"

"Whether the team can create miracles depends on your performance."

"I will do my best!"

Barcelona celebrated and before the game restarted, the fourth official held up his sign and made a substitution.

Drinkwater and Robin van Persie come off.

Albrighton and Cambiasso come off the bench!

These two players are both midfield heroes!

After coming on the field, Leicester City's formation changed.

From 4-4-2, it became 4-4-1-1.

Albrighton went to the left wing and focused on defense, echoing Mahrez on the right wing.

Cambiasso and Kanter partnered in the defensive midfielder.

Xia Xing was freed up and went to the attacking midfielder position.

With Van Persie off the field, he and Vardy became the double attacking points in the frontcourt of Leicester City.

This adjustment is meaningful.

But for Xia Xing, he is still in the middle of the midfield.

To outsiders, it seems that Van Persie was just removed and replaced by Cambiasso, and the formation became 4-5-1, continuing to strengthen the defense.

But Xia Xing knew what Ranieri wanted to do.

He looked at the sidelines and Ranieri nodded at him.

Xia Xing also nodded.

Is it time to implement plan B?

Before this game, Xia Xing had talked to Ranieri about the team's tactics many times.

Especially today's play.

When Ranieri agreed to Xia Xing's tactics of rushing to open the game, they made many assumptions.

If the team can hold on to the victory, they will hide after stealing the peach and strive to defend the victory.

This is plan A.

If the opponent scores, equalizes, or even falls behind, plan B must be implemented.

After all, the opponent is Barcelona. Even if they are scored, they can't press forward and attack fiercely, otherwise they will be beaten into a sieve.

They can only let Xia Xing's position be more forward and freer.

Because there are not many points in this team that can create miracles, Xia Xing is definitely the biggest hope.

Now, plan B begins.

After Albrighton came on the court, he perfectly implemented Ranieri's defensive requirements on the left side.

Facing Messi, he came up with a flying tackle!

Although he didn't touch the ball, Messi's dribbling rhythm was disrupted.

Cambiasso followed up decisively and kicked the ball!

The two new defensive players perfectly destroyed Barcelona's attack!

After the ball was intercepted, Cambiasso did not hesitate in the middle and kicked a long pass directly!

Vardy actually succeeded in countering the offside and scored a single goal!

The calm veteran intercepted and passed the ball, and unexpectedly created a killing opportunity!
