Chapter 148 Midfield Genius
"Four consecutive wins in the Premier League"!
The Leicester Evening News used large fonts to put the headline on the front page.
Countless fans rushed to buy it.
"They've won four games in a row!"
When interviewed by a reporter, Blue Fox fans had the word pride written all over their faces.
No, they can win four consecutive victories in the Eastern Premier League as a newly promoted team, and the winning legs are not bad.
Everton, Chelsea, Arsenal, Stoke City.
None of them are among the top ten teams in the Premier League this season, and they are all very strong.
But Leicester City had the last laugh.
That is enough to prove their strength.
"Who would have thought that after four rounds, the top spot in the Premier League would always be promoted?"
The Times said so.
"The Guardian" also praised Leicester City: "He doesn't know what the future will be like for Leicester City, how long their victory will last, but at least they are now standing at the top of the Premier League! That is enough for their fans
Happy for a long time!"
The Monthly Telegraph even said bluntly: "Now Leicester City can look forward to their European war!"
Yes, Leicester City in the East is indeed looking forward to the European war.
They are on the verge of meeting the first leg of the Europa League group stage.
Wolfsburg.
As fifth in the Bundesliga this season, Wolfsburg is very strong.
With their crisp offense, they almost made it into the top four this season.
Since the start of this season, they have also ushered in a wave of winning streak and are currently ranked first in the league.
Even Bayern can succumb to it.
And the most powerful part of the Bundesliga giants is their midfield.
Especially the young Belgian genius De Bruyne.
In the winter of 2012, 19-year-old Belgian youngster De Bruyne was recruited by Chelsea.
At that time, a transfer fee of 8 million euros was spent.
Facts have proved that for a team like Chelsea that is not short of money, 8 million euros is only a small investment.
In the summer of 2012, he was loaned to Werder Bremen.
In just one season, he became one of the brightest rising stars in the Bundesliga.
After returning from the loan, he did not get the starting position he wanted.
After half a year, De Bruyne chose to return to the Bundesliga and join Wolfsburg for 22 million euros.
Joining Wolfsburg was a choice De Bruyne had to make whether he would risk his life and survive.
He must make a difference there and prove his worth!
When you join the team, the team will soon be ranked outside the 10th place.
In just half a season, he led the team to fifth place.
16 appearances, 3 goals and 6 assists, which is a very good result.
And Bi Luo is more focused on the fact that he single-handedly revitalized the team's offensive line.
That season he was completely established as the team's core midfielder.
In the tactical analysis room, Pearson explained Wolfsburg's formation and play style to the team.
"Wolfsburg's offense is very simple, without too many bells and whistles.
"Forward Dost is currently the team's leading striker, Caligiuri and Olic are also quite satisfactory.
"The strongest player in that team is not the forward, but the midfielder.
"In other words, it's not De Bruyne.
"Qi is the tactical core of the team, and De Bruyne is very strong outside.
“As long as they could guard him in that game, they were basically trying to figure out whether they succeeded or not.
"Drinkwater, Albrighton,
“In that game, the two of us were guarding De Bruyne.
"I would rather let him pass the ball to other teammates,
"Don't give him a chance to pass the ball or shoot forward!"
Arranging two midfielders to mark the midfielder on the wrong side. Although Pearson's arrangement was conservative, no one questioned it.
Looking at the footage in the video, everyone was amazed at De Bruyne's pass.
Mahrez: "The pass he just made was amazing! He can't compare!"
Vardy: "Isn't it really rare to make me feel ashamed?"
Mahrez: "To be honest, his passing is really strong."
Drinkwater: "No, not only is it accurate, but it is also very imaginative. It is unexpected and difficult to defend."
Everyone was talking about it, but Xia Xing didn't shut up, and was very much observing De Bruyne in the video.
Looking at De Bruyne, Xia Xing suddenly felt something.
De Laet poked him: "Xia, what am I thinking?"
Xia Xing frowned: "He thinks his playing style is like that of Zidane, and his shooting style is very similar to Cantona's."
James smiled: "Xia, it sounds like I have played football with Zidane and Cantona."
Drinkwater immediately criticized: "Xia did play with Zidane. In Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement game, I was very dissatisfied."
James: "Then Cantona..."
De Laet: "How do I know that Cantona has not returned to the Manchester United youth training camp? Maybe he actually played football with Cantona."
The three of them quarreled with each other, but Xia Xing didn't shut up.
How do they know that Xia Xing plays football with Zidane and Cantona every day?
So the feeling of Xia Xing is very accurate.
De Bruyne's ball control is very stable. Although he doesn't have a very eye-catching dribbling, he is very practical.
And his passing is very subtle and crisp, which is very similar to Zidane's style of play.
And De Bruyne often gets close to the goal and shoots explosively from outside the penalty area.
That's very similar to Cantona.
Even though he is 22 years old, his talent is clearly visible to the naked eye.
In terms of overall strength, Xia Xing would even feel dwarfed by comparison.
Especially the wonderful pass, it's really great.
Xia Xing's current passing score is 85. If you follow that reference, De Bruyne is at least over 90, or even 95!
Absolutely a genius, a super genius!
I really don't know why Chelsea would give up on such a super talent.
"Xia!"
"Um?"
Hearing Pearson calling him, Xia Xing looked at Pearson.
"Xia, I wanted to continue to increase the running distance in that game and try to make up for the gap left by Drinkwater and Albrighton's defensive position."
"good!"
"But he is more looking forward to my performance in offense. Although De Bruyne is very strong, he thinks I am better!"
Pearson rarely praises others, but Xia Xingfu is an exception.
Since the start of that season, he has praised Xia Xing countless times.
No, I cannot praise you enough for such an excellent state.
Hearing Pearson praise Xia Xing, his teammates also agreed.
Vardy: "Xia, if they continue to join forces in that game, they will definitely be able to defeat Wolfsburg!"
Mahrez: "Let's fly together on both sides and let Wolfsburg see that apart from Bayern's Ribery combination, there is a world-class combination!"
Morgan: "Xia, they are looking forward to my continued explosion!"
Schmeichel: "Watch me!"
In the current Leicester City formation, everyone's expectations for the summer trip are getting higher and higher.
Xia Xing looked at the coach and teammates and nodded slightly.
"Don't worry, everyone, he will go all out in that game!
"That's their first European game,
"It will definitely be their first win in Europe!"
