Star Card System

Chapter 39 Xia actually became the backbone of the defense!

At this stage of the game, Barnsley was desperate.

Long shots, crosses, and set kicks are the three major methods to break dense defenses.

Leicester City retreated across the board, clinging to a one-goal advantage.

Several consecutive attacks and multiple set kicks.

In the 82nd minute of the game, it was Barnsley's corner kick opportunity again.

This was their third corner kick in ten minutes.

Leicester City players are ready for everything and keep an eye on the opposing players.

In the previous two corner kick tactics, their forward threat was average, and the two central defenders were very threatening.

Both Korenny and Wiseman are tall and powerful central defenders, typical traditional British defensive players.

In the penalty area, although their header ability is average, they can always grab opportunities with their strong bodies.

This time, the ball flew to Wiseman again.

Wiseman used a little force and squeezed Whitblood away again.

Captain Morgan was defending Koreni and was unable to do anything else.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared!

It’s summer trip!

He squeezed Wiseman hard!

Morgan knew what he wanted to do.

Xia Xing's jumping ability is average, and his height of 178cm is not enough to support him in grabbing a header in front of Wiseman.

However, he can try his best to interfere!

After Whitbrad was squeezed away, Xia Xing and Wiseman collided hard!

The ball passed over the heads of the two people and flew out of the baseline!

No one can touch the ball!

The purpose of Xia Xing has been achieved!

Getting up from the ground, Wiseman looked at Xia Xing unconvinced.

This kid looks inconspicuous and not strong. How could he knock himself away?

I must have been out of position just now!

Two minutes later, the two collided again!

A 45-degree cross from the wing, this time it was still looking for Wiseman!

This time Xia Xing got stuck in advance and appeared exactly where the ball landed!

Wiseman pushes hard from the side!

But he didn't squeeze out Xia Xing!

Although Xia Xing's position has moved a bit, he is still in a favorable position for the top spot!

The two took off at the same time again!

But he failed to hit the ball again!

But for Xia Xing, it doesn’t matter!

This is what he wants!

The ball flew out of the baseline again, and Barnsley's opportunity was lost again!

The fans in the stands burst into applause!

This applause is dedicated to Xia Xing!

After the team decided to retreat to defend, Xia Xing quickly returned to the penalty area, and he had already targeted Wiseman.

With several strong opponents, Leicester City players had their share of duties, but Whitblood had some difficulty defending Wiseman.

In this case, Xia Xing took the initiative to ask for help in defense.

Two consecutive wonderful defenses made Wiseman return in vain!

In the 89th minute of the game, when Wiseman was intercepted by Xia Xing again, Pearson on the sidelines applauded rarely: "Not bad! I didn't expect xia to become the backbone of the defense!"

Shakespeare repeatedly praised: "Although this kid's defensive ability is not very good, his body is indeed much stronger. As a defender, Wiseman has limited offensive power, but his body is strong. He is really suitable for defending such an opponent."

Pearson: "If there is a chance, Xia Xing can even try other different positions."

Shakespeare: "Well, it is."

When Barnsley's last long shot went straight into the stands, the referee also sounded the whistle to end the game.

“Wow, the game is finally over, it wasn’t easy.

"When Leicester City was sent off one man at the start,

“I was able to score a goal and try to keep a clean sheet.

"Just because of this tenacity, I am optimistic that they can reach the Premier League next season!"

The host couldn't stop praising him, and the King Power Stadium also burst into applause.

Fans have been on tenterhooks about this game, and only now are they finally breathing a sigh of relief.

The fans are happy, and the Leicester City manager is in an even better mood.

In addition to winning the game, Xia Xing also received a special reward.

Vieira card!

First start, zero seal!

[Task: 1. Make his debut in the English Championship; 2. Help the team keep a clean sheet against opponents. 】

[Mission goal accomplished! 】

[The mission reward has arrived—Patrick Vieira card, S level! 】

Finally got the Vieira card!

[(unit hour) Batistuta: 16/50. Vieira: 0/50. 】

The Batistuta card has been integrated for one third, and is not far away from being completely absorbed.

Keep up the good work!

After a narrow victory, Leicester City finally defeated their opponent and got three points.

The competition in September has come to an end.

So far, Leicester City has played 9 league rounds this season, with 7 wins and 2 draws, firmly occupying the top spot.

As long as we can continue to maintain this momentum, there is no suspense about being directly promoted.

In the Championship promotion system, the top two teams advance directly, while the third to sixth players play in the promotion play-offs and are the absolute last ones to qualify.

Leicester City does not want to play in the promotion play-offs this season.

The schedule in October is relatively loose, with only 5 games.

On October 5, in the 10th round of the British Championship, they faced Yeovil away from home.

On October 13, in the 11th round of the British Championship, they played away against Doncaster.

On October 19th, in the 12th round of the British Championship, they faced Huddersfield at home.

On October 26, in the 13th round of the British Championship, they played against Bournemouth at home.

On October 30, the League Cup quarter-finals, home against Fulham.

Several league opponents are not strong, Leicester City, which is in good shape, is sure to win.

But unexpectedly, after two games, Leicester City's performance was surprising.

Facing two weak teams, Yeovil and Doncaster, Leicester City actually played two 0-1 scores.

Suffered two consecutive defeats in the league!

The game process was basically similar, both the opponent's iron bucket formation, Leicester City pressed.

Unable to score, the opponent unexpectedly scored, and finally lost the game.

After two games, Leicester City did not get a single point, and the second-placed Burnley has tied the league points!

Although temporarily leading with a goal difference advantage, the top position without any points advantage is in jeopardy.

After the game review, the coaching staff of Leicester City was also very depressed.

In theory, the players performed well, but the luck in these two games was really bad.

There were two goal posts in every game, can you believe it?

The opponent's goal was scored in a melee after a corner kick, and the other was an own goal that bounced off a player on our side.

The luck was extremely bad.

Although the team lost two games in a row, Pearson did not lose his temper with the players this time.

He knew the current situation very well.

The team lost two games in a row, not because of the players.

On the contrary, when the team encountered trouble, the players played very hard.

So Pearson, who is usually serious, did not show any anxiety this time.

Instead, Shakespeare comforted the players.

Shakespeare: "Hey, why don't you go by yourself?"

Pearson: "I have to maintain a strict image, you are responsible for the aftermath and being a good person."

Shakespeare: "This job sounds good..."
