Chapter 204 On Xia Xing’s pursuit of Leicester City
I'll be in excellent condition for my summer trip tomorrow.
Three consecutive assists were extremely exciting, even more subtle than shooting.
In the final moments of the half, he was brutally brought down by the wrong defender Delany.
The referee's whistle sounds, yellow card!
Even so, it still cannot quell the public anger of the Leicester City general!
Many players gathered around, even headed by the most stable captain Morgan!
They're already at each other's throats!
Shakespeare on the sidelines also protested angrily and loudly!
The war is about to break out!
At that time, the head referee and assistant coaches were all present.
They struggled to keep players from both sides apart to prevent the conflict from escalating.
The referee even showed two reds and four yellows in a row, which allowed the situation to be slightly controlled.
Two red cards, respectively, for Morgan and Delany who were choking each other.
If the two of them were not the trigger of the conflict, there is nothing wrong with punishing them.
As for Chengdong's four yellow cards, both sides had two.
Delany was in a bad mood when he walked to the east court, not only because he was penalized, but also because of his identity.
I wonder if he was ever a player who came out of Leicester City's youth academy.
Passing by the sidelines, he paused for a moment, wanting to see Xia Xing who was being treated.
But seeing the Leicester City general glaring angrily, he did not walk over.
Sorry, he didn't do it on purpose.
At this time, both sides each sent off a player to East, and Xia Xing was very injured.
The injury time was originally three minutes, but now it was only two minutes, and the referee simply blew the whistle.
Let's both clean up the mess!
The only mistake was Crystal Palace, they were three goals behind and in a bad mood.
As for Leicester City, they are even more unhappy!
Whoever has a problem with the team now can't have a problem with Xia Xing!
Not only is he the perfect core of the team, but he is also able to fight continuously with his super physical fitness.
Missing him alone is equivalent to missing two core members. That’s an exaggeration!
Especially when Xia Xing was bulldozed just now, his calf was obviously bleeding a lot.
If the injury stops for a period of time, Leicester City will suffer a huge loss!
The top four in the Premier League, a breakthrough in the Europa League, and foreign cup competitions are all slim...
With everyone watching, Wongyu slowly raised his head.
After checking the exit, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not a big problem. Although there was a little blood, it was just a skin injury. It's just a soot."
"Oh, all right……"
Pearson breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Xing also wanted to stand up and take a few steps to show everyone that he was fine.
But as soon as he straightened up, Shakespeare pinned him down.
"Don't make trouble! Just have a good rest! I can't even think about being here in the east half!"
Xia Xing wanted to say something, but looking at everyone's concerned eyes, he had no words to say.
No, just take a break, after all, they were leading by three goals at halftime, no problem.
Pearson also made decisive substitutions, replacing Xia Xing with Andy Jin.
Although Andy Jin is not as good as Xia Xing, there should be no problem if he can maintain the three-goal lead, right?
Leicester City's men were very optimistic after missing the first half of the game.
Didn't they expect that the course of the game was completely different from what they imagined!
As soon as the eastern half of the game started, Leicester City ran into trouble.
In Morgan's East Field, Pearson withdrew from Ulloa and replaced him with Huth.
Huth and Konchesky partnered as central defenders.
The team's formation changed to 4-4-1.
Andy King came off the bench to replace Xia Xing in the left midfield position.
In the same situation, Dong Dong failed to send one player, and Crystal Palace did not make any formation adjustments.
They were three goals behind and had one defender missing. They must not withdraw their forwards to fill the defensive gap.
As soon as the eastern half started, they took advantage of Leicester City's unsteady foothold and passed a long ball into the penalty area!
Center forward Sanogo volleyed!
The ball hit the net!
3 to 1!
Crystal Palace pulls a goal back!
And just five minutes later, there was another midfield pass!
The ball finds substitute striker Fraser Campbell!
The latter headed the goal!
The ball hit the near corner of the goal!
3 to 2!
Less than ten minutes into the game, Leicester City conceded two goals in a row!
That made Pearson very angry on the sidelines!
The two goals conceded just now were all caused by mistakes in Leicester City's midfield and backcourt!
Once there was a mistake in the cooperation between Andy King and Drinkwater, and once there was a mistake in the cooperation between Huth and Konchesky!
It’s all about substitute players!
Seeing Pearson furious, Shakespeare calmly comforted him.
"Man, don't worry, it's not a player's problem. After all, we have Xia in the middle of the half and Morgan in the back. Now that both of them are in the East Court, those boys must adapt to the new adjustment. After all, the two teams in the East Court are
Can you be the central pillar of the team..."
Pearson sighed softly and his temper became much calmer.
That's right.
Leicester City's success that season had a lot to do with the continuous operations of several core players.
Not to mention Xia Xing, captains Morgan and Schmeichel were also able to win almost every game in the league.
Although Vardy and Mahrez are the team's absolute main offensive players, they can guarantee the team's existence in the east limit, and Xia Xing and the two captains can guarantee the team's existence in the east limit.
In that game, two people played in a row in the East, and it was difficult to play in the East...
After conceding two goals in a row, Leicester City slowly regained its form.
Faced with the onslaught of Crystal Palace, they still had no good solution.
Andy King passed the ball several times in a row, but was suppressed by the wrong defense.
Although the wrong side did not fill the defender vacancy, but because Leicester City withdrew from Ulloa, there is no problem with three people defending Vardy and one.
And Mahrez's several breakthroughs did not have good opportunities.
It was not until the 87th minute of the game that Crystal Palace launched another fierce attack.
Leicester City has begun to defend, and Crystal Palace has no particularly good passing opportunities.
It was then that their talented player Zaha began to perform.
He dribbled the ball on the left wing and suddenly accelerated!
Facing Mahrez's pressing, he directly changed to cut outside and passed the wrong side!
Then continue diagonally to the left and sprint forward!
Simpson pressed forward!
Zaha passed by on a bicycle and shook Simpson away!
Breaking into the restricted area!
Konchesky was grabbing, but he didn't dare to make too many moves.
After all, Zaha is too flexible. If he takes a rash shot, he will probably give the wrong side a penalty kick.
Taking advantage of Koncheski's hesitation, Zaha decisively shot!
The ball passed between Konchesky's legs!
Although the power is not great, the ball speed is extremely fast!
And Schmeichel's line of sight was also blocked!
The ball went straight into the far corner of the goal!
The ball went in!
3 to 3!
Crystal Palace scored a stunning goal!
Crystal Palace players cheered with excitement!
Zaha even rushed into the net and ran back with the ball!
Not only did they seek an equalizer, but they also sought a go-ahead lead!
From 0 to 3, to 3 to 3, they did it!
They are now striving to win 4-3!
Aren’t we Leicester City great?
In front of them, there is still no advantage!
After scoring three goals in a row, Crystal Palace was in full swing!
