Chapter 161 He is really fine, let him start!
"The blue fox killed the canary!"
That will be the front page headline of tomorrow's Leicester Evening News.
Although it's just an EFL Cup game, it's just the third round, and it's not a Championship team.
But no, that victory was nothing to write home about.
That article not only described the wonderful 5-0 victory, but also carefully analyzed the significance of that game for Leicester City.
"For Leicester City, they can expect more that season.
"With five consecutive league wins, they are even five points ahead of second-placed Chelsea.
"Who would have thought before the season started that it would turn out like that?
"If we follow that momentum and go east, they will be able to compete in the top four by the end of the season!
"In addition to the Premier League, they have a great stage in the Europa League.
“Foreign cup competitions include League Cup and FA Cup.
“They all have the strength to fight.
"So for Leicester City, the status of the substitute players is also very important.
“The victory in that game was not a victory for Leicester City, let alone a victory for Leicester City’s substitute players!
"Those players who are on the bench, they are still in good condition.
“That game even showed the fighting spirit to not lose to the main players!
"For Leicester City, which is fighting on multiple fronts,
“It’s a good thing to be absolutely wrong!
"Conoket, Andy King, Chris Wood, Moore, Powell!
“All the goals were scored by substitute players!
"He is now looking forward to Leicester City's future journey even more!
"He believed they would work miracles!"
Although the "Leicester Evening News" is a city-level media that does not receive much attention, its sales have surged recently.
In addition to Leicester City's ever-increasing performance, it has a lot to do with their professional analysis.
Now a lot of football is paying more and more attention to Leicester City.
A small team can create miracles.
That's the kind of story that many people would like to see.
The "Miracle of Kaiserslautern" was not like this.
Now, Leicester City is also performing their miracle.
After winning against Norwich City in the East, Leicester City are very happy in the East.
Pearson was happy to see many substitute players making gains.
He has always been serious, but lately he has been smiling a lot.
"It's a great victory. It's great."
"No, especially the substitute players all performed very well. It's great."
"Don't forget, four of the five goals came from xia's assists."
"No, right now, xia is definitely the most important link in Leicester City's formation."
"That's right, his level of respect even exceeds that of the two captains."
"Why don't we let him have a rest after a game?"
"It should be so!"
After the two of them discussed it, Seidong found Xia Xing and told him that he was going to take a rest.
Xia Xing strongly protested!
"Coach, he begs to start! And he begs to play the whole game!"
If other people had shut up with Pearson, Pearson would have become anxious.
But how could Pearson be willing to criticize Xia Xing if he was wrong?
"Xia, he doesn't want me to appear on stage, but he wants me to have a good rest."
"He's not tired!"
"I see, we have been fighting continuously recently, and I have always started and played the whole 90 minutes. I will definitely be tired to some extent."
"He's not tired."
"On the 18th they played Wolfsburg, on the 21st they had a mismatch with Manchester United, and on the 24th they beat Norwich City. On the 27th, they were ready to play in the sixth round of the Premier League. They played 4 games in those 10 days.
The frequency and intensity of the field are too high, and I really can’t force myself to persist.”
"Coach, let him start. He's fine."
"I play every game, when do I take a break?"
"He has already thought about playing a few more games and then resting."
"Hmm? How many more games?"
"No, we will play Crystal Palace on September 27th, the second leg of the Europa League on September 30th, and Burnley on October 4th. After Zhai Mule has played two Premier League games and one Europa League game, he will return to the east.
If the national team competition is over, he will be fine and can rest."
"..."
"Coach, he is really fine, let him start!"
"Okay, he promised me..."
Xia Xing was so insistent that Pearson couldn't say anything.
To be honest, Xia Xing's body is really amazing.
Even the strict physical trainer praised Xia Xing so much, according to his words.
"He even wants to dissect Xia to see what structure is in his body."
Since you want to persist, let him continue playing.
On September 27, Xia Xing was still in Leicester City's away lineup.
That time they lost to Crystal Palace, and Leicester City played with almost all their main players.
Thanks to the rest, the whole team was in good shape in Dongdu.
From the first minute of that game, they dominated Crystal Palace.
Bu Nao, but never scored a goal.
Before halftime, the two sides traded red draws.
In the east half, the game changed sides and Leicester City still found it difficult to score.
Facing the iron barrel formation set up by Crystal Palace, Leicester City could not attack for a long time.
Regardless of Mahrez's dribbling and long-range shooting, Vardy's shot from outside the penalty area, or Drinkwater's back-row shot.
Of course, Xia Xing's forward shot is definitely indispensable.
But they couldn't score any goals.
In that game, they faced an awkward formation. Leicester City, which has always been good at fast breaks this season, suddenly had nothing to do.
When a dog bites a hedgehog, it cannot eat him in the same way.
Not only could they not score a goal, they almost conceded one.
In the 77th minute of the game, Leicester City counterattacked too hard, and Crystal Palace suddenly counterattacked!
The three forwards sprinted quickly and penetrated Leicester City's defense!
Push into the far corner of the goal!
With Schmeichel already out of position, Xia Xing appeared in the far corner!
He was clearing the ball at the goal line!
He has made a contribution!
If that goal were scored, Leicester City would be in trouble!
Leicester City, which escaped the disaster, finally ushered in the aftermath.
It wasn't until the 85th minute of the game that they finally broke the deadlock.
Xia Xing passed a set ball from the right side of the frontcourt. In the melee, Nugent, who came on as a substitute, shot into the net.
1 to 0!
Leicester City finally scored!
It’s not easy!
In the past, Leicester City had a hard time winning with just that one goal.
Sixth league 3 points!
Premier League winning streak continues!
The bus back after the game was there. Pearson called Xia Xing to his side and said to him seriously.
"When he was talking to me the other day, he was very confident going into that game.
"He feels it's just Crystal Palace and they can't win.
"Even if I'm not there, they'll be fine.
“But the facts prove that he was exaggerated.
"If they hadn't denied my assist, it might have been difficult for them to win that game.
"If I hadn't denied my goal-line clearance, maybe they would have fallen behind.
"The momentum was affected, and there was even no chance of a final victory.
"To put it bluntly, xia, my performance will be great tomorrow.
"He's wrong now. I have a request——
“Stay healthy! Don’t ask for injuries!
"please!"
