Chapter 175 It’s not easy to be in a strong team...
In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer's eyes lit up.
Tomorrow he was completely impressed by Xia Xing's long-range shot.
"Although Southampton's defensive counterattack tactics are very successful,
"But I still can't stop Leicester City from scoring goals.
"You can defend defensively, you can defend and counterattack,
"Even suppressed Chris Wood's header opportunity,
"But no,
"They can't stop xia's violent long-range shots!
"Qi is one of the biggest killer moves to break dense defenses.
"Leicester City only used xia's card to score two goals in a row and lead Southampton!
"Xia did a great job!
"Xia's explosive shot once again left Southampton helpless.
"Forster can keep the ball out of goal.
“It’s been done very well.
"But without such great strength, losing one's legs would be inevitable.
"Leicester City were leading before half-time!
"They played well in the east half!"
Listening to Alan Shearer's excited explanation, Carragher next to him opened his mouth...
Forget it, just tell me.
Those two shots were indeed so beautiful that he couldn't refute even if he wanted to...
The referee's whistle sounded and the game was over at halftime.
With a one-goal lead, Leicester City returned to the dressing room happily.
Looking back at Southampton, the mood is not so good.
As soon as the eastern half started, they adjusted their position.
goalkeeper.
Foster was substituted in the East End, and substitute goalkeeper Kelvin Davis came on.
Carragher was a little puzzled: "Even if we conceded two goals in the half, we really can't blame Foster. A shot of that level is too difficult to defend."
Alan Shearer shook his head: "It shouldn't be a tactical issue. Maybe Foster has some special circumstances..."
He guessed wrong.
After saving Xia Xing's direct shot early in the half, Foster sprained his leg and couldn't hold on any longer.
That would negate the power of the SS-class heavy artillery to bombard the door!
In the eastern half, the sides changed sides and the battle resumed. Xia Xing received quite high treatment.
Two defensive players stared closely at him.
Not to mention breaking through with the ball, even if you want to shoot directly!
Don't let me get up!
Xia Xing was helpless after being blocked by the wrong team twice in a row.
After all, even if it’s a minor foul, it won’t result in a card.
The wrong way is to "take care" of Xia Xing, directly in the legs.
Mahrez was also completely blocked, and Leicester City was once again in a deadlock in the east half.
In the 68th minute of the game, with a set-piece opportunity, Southampton scored a key goal.
Right back Maya Yoshida, who came on the bench, made a pass. Italian forward Pelle jumped high and headed the ball towards the goal!
The ball hit the net hard!
2 to 2!
Southampton equalized!
That goal once again brought both sides back to the same starting line!
Pearson on the sidelines was filled with regret.
But there is nothing you can do about it.
The game continued, and neither side created any good opportunities.
Previously, that game ended in a 2-2 draw.
Leicester City still cannot end their league winless run.
After that game, Leicester City could finally take a break.
So the rest may be wrong for some players.
Since the coming week is not the national team competition month, non-national team members can relax briefly.
And national team players like Mahrez have to continue playing.
It may even be stronger than the league.
After returning to the team a week later, the players began intense training and preparations again.
During the period after returning from the east, Leicester City was seeking to start a double-match schedule every week.
With an average of one game every three days, the Premier League’s horrific Christmas season is about to begin.
On November 22, in the twelfth round of the Premier League, they missed Sunderland at home.
On November 25, in the fifth round of the Europa League group stage, the home venue was Red Bull Salzburg.
On November 29, in the thirteenth round of the Premier League, they played away against Queens Park Rangers.
In December and March, in the fourteenth round of the Premier League, we faced the powerful enemy Liverpool at home.
In December and July, the fifteenth round of the Premier League was an away game against Aston Villa.
In December and October, the final round of the Europa League group stage was an away game against Wolfsburg.
On December 13, in the sixteenth round of the Premier League, we welcomed the powerful Manchester City at home.
On December 17, the EFL Cup quarter-finals were away against Derby County.
On December 20, the seventeenth round of the Premier League was an away game against West Ham.
On December 26, in the 18th round of the Premier League, they faced Tottenham at home.
On December 29, the 19th round of the Premier League was an away game against Hull City.
Seeing the intensive schedule, Drinkwater sighed: "The schedule is so dense that even James' little brother can't get in."
De Laet looked puzzled: "What do you mean? Shouldn't it be described as the tip of a knife?"
Drinkwater: "At that time, it was more appropriate to use something sharper and smaller than the tip of a knife to describe it."
James: "That's enough for the two of us!"
The teammates burst into laughter.
Xia Xing also turned his head and pretended not to recognize them.
Those three fools were so stupid...
It is precisely because of the atmosphere that Leicester City is not too dull.
After returning from the national team, the team's training was very hard.
The previous four consecutive games without a win in the Premier League had already put a lot of pressure on the Leicester City manager.
Proper regulation of emotions is a good thing.
On November 22, the King Power Stadium ushered in the Premier League match after the national team match.
In the twelfth round, a wrong leg denied Sunderland.
The wrong leg is weak, and Leicester City in the East has not been much affected by the FIFA virus.
I must win that game.
Did Pearson even have a full lineup?
The bad momentum of the Premier League's four-game winless streak should come to an end!
Didn't you expect that the game was still very difficult?
Facing the menacing Leicester City, Sunderland defended decisively.
It’s not even about defense and counterattack, there is defense and no counterattack.
They had already thought about that game. It would be good to get one point in the away game.
The whole team has the same goal and retreats across the board.
Facing the iron barrel formation, Leicester City attacked decisively.
Not to mention the offensive players in the frontcourt, even Xia Xing will be under great pressure tomorrow.
Anyway, there is no attack on the wrong leg, so just press it.
Cooperate with short passes, pass from the east end, and take a long shot from outside the penalty area.
Countless tricks were used, but Leicester City still had no hope of scoring.
Mahrez, Chris Wood, Ulloa, Konokat and other players tried their best to attack, but to no avail.
Xia Xing even fired continuously from the outside!
But the Sunderland players were quite bloody, and they simply blocked it with their bodies, grinning even though they were bored and didn't flinch.
Previously, Leicester City still failed to win that game.
The score of 0-0 made them extremely regretful.
In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer said regretfully: "Leicester City has been winless in five Premier League games. After being overtaken by Chelsea in one game, the points gap between them and Chelsea has further widened."
And Carragher next to him was even more astonishing: "Leicester City now encounters problems that every strong team will face. It's not easy to be a strong team..."
Alan Shearer: "Huh? What's going on with me?"
