Chapter 164 The curse of the Premier League? It doesn’t work!
At halftime, Leicester City and Red Bull Salzburg tied 2-2.
That score reflects the strength of both sides very well.
Neither team is a super team, let alone a superstar.
Both sides rely on teamwork to win the game.
Especially the trident players on both sides.
Simple cooperation can always produce high-quality offense.
In the eastern half, the battle changed sides and Red Bull Salzburg attacked again.
Another collaboration between the midfield and the frontcourt, Naby Keita attracted the defense and suddenly made a pass!
Alan retreated to catch the ball, suddenly turned around and accelerated!
The series of movements were so smooth that he deceived Mahrez who was defending him!
Soriano made a quick move and pulled forward to the left!
Morgan was also taken away!
But Alan didn't choose to pass the ball!
Outside the penalty area, he shot directly!
The ball was accurately inserted into the right corner of the goal!
Schmeichel made a full save, but still couldn't stop the ball from entering the net...
"3 to 2!
“Red Bull Salzburg scores another goal!
“Alan’s shot was brilliant!
"That's not the cooperation of the Trident!
"Naby Keita attracted the attention of the defense and separated the ball in the crowd.
"After Alan received the ball, Soriano also quickly pulled aside, taking away Leicester City's defensive attention.
"The two partners created a good opportunity for Alan to score.
"Those three players are amazing!
"He now has a premonition,
"Maybe it won't be long before they will all be poached by other teams!
"Especially the midfielder Naby Keita, he is the most optimistic about him!
"Leicester City were dangerous again in that game!"
Falling behind again, Leicester City is indeed in danger.
And after seeing the strength of several Leicester City offensive players, Red Bull Salzburg is much more stable.
Wrong with Xia Xing, Mahrez and Vardy's defense was also tighter.
After that, Leicester City had several chances, but none of them could be converted into goals.
Until the 82nd minute of the game, Xia Xing's corner kick caused chaos outside the Red Bull Salzburg penalty area.
Conoket, who had just come on as a substitute, scored with a shot.
3 to 3!
Leicester City finally equalized the score!
In the past, the score was maintained until the end.
The referee's whistle sounded, and a fierce match ended in a draw.
In the center of the court, players from both teams exchanged jerseys.
Interestingly enough, the offensive tridents of both teams were swapped with players at the same position.
Vardy and Soriano exchanged jerseys, shook hands and chatted.
Mahrez and Alan also had words of praise. Their wonderful dribbling in that game left a deep impression on the other side.
Xia Xing exchanged jerseys with Naby Keita.
Both of them are 19 years old next year and are of the same age.
And neither of them can pass the ball in the midfield.
"Xia, I am really a great genius. Not only do I have good skills, but my physical fitness is also top-notch."
"Man, I'm very flexible with the way I handle the ball and I pass the ball really well."
"They had a draw in that game, and the next game will be a draw, and we will definitely find a winner!"
"Okay! He's waiting for me at the King Power Stadium!"
Drawing on the wrong leg, Leicester City has drawn two consecutive Europa League matches.
Now they are ranked third in the group with 2 points, and their qualifying situation is not very optimistic.
In the next two Europa League games, they faced Krasnodar.
Facing a team that is recognized as an underdog outside the group is a good time for Leicester City to grab points.
On the bus back to the hotel, many players fell asleep.
The intensive schedule during the recent period has made everyone very tired.
Even Xia Xing felt tired.
Wow, that's not over yet.
Because in 4 days, Leicester City will have a Premier League match waiting for them.
After that game, it was the end of a very intensive competition.
In October and April, Leicester City ushered in the seventh round of the Premier League at home.
Their wrong leg went to Burnley.
Facing that wrong leg, Leicester City are in a good mood in the East.
Because that wrong leg is so familiar.
In the process of advancing to the Premier League in the English Championship this season, Burnley has always been able to deny Leicester City's direct competition.
The previous season's double play completely defeated Burnley.
No, I should say no three kills.
Because we beat them once in the FA Cup, a 5-0 victory.
Although they were beaten into pieces by Leicester City, Burnley is not weak.
They still maintain their advantage in the English Championship. They were directly promoted to the Premier League as second place in the English Championship.
With Leicester City.
When the two teams met again, the situation was completely different.
Both sides are no longer the English Championship teams they once were.
Burnley has recruited a lot of players this season and brought in a lot of strong reinforcements.
The overall strength of the team has improved a lot.
Not to mention Leicester City, the halo of six consecutive wins in the Premier League will continue tomorrow.
At the press conference before that game, Pearson went out of his way to show reporters his new acquisition.
Premier League Coach of the Month for September.
Some reporters in Taitung laughed and said: "It seems that the Premier League curse is not working for Leicester City."
"Ha ha!"
There was a burst of laughter.
The so-called curse of the Premier League, whether it is the best coach of the month in this month, there is a high probability that it will overturn in the east.
There have been countless precedents that have confirmed this before.
Fortunately for Leicester City, they are not under a spell.
Pearson was the best coach in the Premier League in August. In September, he still maintained the winning streak in the Premier League. He also maintained the winning streak in the Premier League despite fighting on three fronts in the Europa League and the EFL Cup.
That would be quite difficult.
And beside Pearson, the September Premier League Player of the Month trophy in front of Xia Xing was also shining brightly.
That September, Xia Xing was still playing the role of Leicester City's superhero.
In every victory, Xia Xing takes the greatest credit.
Especially in the 3-2 win over Eastern United, Xia Xing's hat trick shocked Europe.
Especially that ground-breaking long-range shot, it is regarded by many fans as a candidate for the best goal of the season.
President Taitung, reporters' cameras often miss the correct date for the summer trip.
Now Xia Xing is not only a supernova of Leicester City, but also a bright star of the Premier League.
His name has long been a household name.
After participating in all the intensive schedule games, Xia Xing still started in that game.
Although Pearson did not want Xia Xing to rest, he decided to start Xia Xing.
Pearson could agree.
In addition to the summer trip, Leicester City still sent many substitute players in that game.
Andy King, James, Schlupp, Conoket, Chris Wood, Moore...
When those players appeared at the King Power Stadium, commentator Alan Shearer laughed.
“Just watching that game, I didn’t know whether it was the British Championship or not.
“Leicester City missed out on Burnley,
“And Leicester City has sent out a combination of players who are not in the Championship this season.
"Tomorrow's game is wrong for Leicester City.
"It should be easier..."
