Chapter 21 Will he become a great star?
How high-level can a substitute player be?
Not to mention a substitute player for a British Championship team.
When Xia Xing came on as a substitute, no one paid attention to him.
It wasn't until he successfully passed the ball twice in a row that Monaco's eyes widened.
What's going on with that kid?
Is that some kind of juggling act?
Just when everyone was stunned, Xia Xing's performance continued.
Monaco left-back Kurzawa was trying to catch up with Xia Xing, but everything went smoothly in front of him.
Substitute central defender Tisserand did not rush for the ball easily that time, but chose to retreat steadily to block the angle.
After all, Dong Ta is the only defender left in front of Xia Xing.
He wanted to hold off the young substitute on the wrong side and wait for support from his teammates.
Bu Nao Xia Xing didn't give him a chance.
As he continued to move forward with the ball, the pace of his east foot became faster.
Already entering the restricted area...
Suddenly change direction to the right and take the bottom line!
Pull the ball to the left again!
Move the ball to the right again!
Continuous changes of direction directly knocked center defender Tisselan to the ground!
The only one left is the East goalkeeper!
On the right side of the goal, from a small angle, kick and push!
Goalkeeper Subasic tried his best to block the angle!
Boom!
The ball hit the goal post hard and bounced out of the baseline!
Leicester City missed a great chance to score!
Despite this, there was still thunderous applause at the King Power Stadium!
That performance was wonderful!
He just came on as a substitute and gave a wonderful performance!
The two picks without the ball hitting the ground were simply world-class!
The last continuous escape outside the penalty area caused the defender of the wrong side to be knocked down!
It's a little regretful that the initial shot failed to score.
It doesn't matter, it can make the dull game a little brighter, and the fans will be satisfied.
The whole game was suppressed by Monaco. Even if it was not a friendly match, the fans were very aggrieved.
The appearance of Xia Xing at this time is like a glass of iced Coke in the hot summer months, which is refreshing!
At this time, in the frontcourt, several young Monaco players who came on as substitutes in the east half took a wrong look and secretly admired him in their hearts.
That guy is pretty good.
I didn’t expect that there are players with such outstanding skills in the English Championship.
Not bad, not bad, it’s a bit interesting to meet Donglai.
The game has reached 75 minutes, and the score is 5-0.
According to Monaco, that game was almost a win.
After all, whether you are invited to participate in a friendly match or not, you should not be too disrespectful.
Didn't you expect that Xia Xing came out of nowhere, which made several Monaco youth teams interested in attacking the legs.
After arriving from the east, they also started performing.
In the frontcourt, two black small forwards were performing solo passes one after another.
The 19-year-old Portuguese youngster in the midfield also controlled the field steadily, and the Leicester City defenders had no chance to steal the ball.
There were times when the Leicester City players really wanted Dong Zhongqiao to knock him down, but they couldn't hold back.
After all, if you miss a leg in a friendly match as a guest, you really can't do anything wrong.
But seeing the wrong side showing off their tricks makes me very unhappy.
Simply pass the ball to xia!
Let him go on alone!
With more than ten minutes left, Xia Xing received many passes.
The ball was passed to the east of the foot, and with his flexible control, he was able to effectively pass the defensive player on the wrong side.
The defensive ability of Monaco's substitute midfielders and defenders was far inferior to that of the main players, and Xia Xing was as comfortable as a fish swimming around them.
After continuous changes of direction on the wing, he turned around and passed people to get out of the space and passed diagonally into the penalty area.
Nugent's shot missed the goal post and flew off the baseline.
Leicester City once again missed a good chance to score.
Nugent shook his head regretfully, not forgetting to turn his head and extend his thumb towards Xia Xing.
Boy, that's a good pass.
After missing two opportunities in a row, Leicester City seems to be out of luck.
Bad luck must come to an end eventually.
In the 86th minute of the game, Xia Xing got the ball again.
That time he didn't go to the right, and after receiving the ball, he suddenly pushed towards the middle!
Accelerate diagonally to the left!
His excellent speed and explosive power allowed him to get past the Monaco players who were trying to grab him in an instant!
Two people double-teamed each other on the wrong side, and there was no forced breakthrough that summer trip.
He saw the blue player in front of him shaking and passed the ball directly!
The ball passed between the two defensive players and went straight to the front court!
Conoket is on the ball's path!
Stop the ball steadily at the penalty area line and shoot!
The ball hit the net!
5 to 1!
Leicester City finally got a goal back!
Although the goal is insignificant, it can be regarded as quenching the thirst for Leicester City.
Throughout the game, they were caught in a fierce attack with wrong legs. Let alone scoring goals, there were not many effective offensive opportunities.
And now, they finally scored a goal.
It was a face-saving goal that made Pearson's face slightly better on the sidelines.
Shakespeare kept applauding: "Beautiful pass! Wonderful goal! He seems to have regained the shooting confidence he had during the season."
Pearson looked at Conoket, who was hugging Xia Xing on the court, and nodded slightly: "Well, he scored in two friendly matches in a row. Conoket has indeed returned to form, which is a good thing."
"Besides, the two goals were not assisted, and his performance was beyond expectations." Shakespeare still helped Xia Xing to shut up. He had always had a good impression of the diligent and talented Xia Xing.
Pearson didn't shut up.
In the first few minutes of the game, Xia Xing made another wonderful pass. Konokat's shot was intercepted by the wrong defensive player, and he missed the opportunity to score twice.
The referee's whistle sounded and the game was over.
Xia Xing, who had only played for more than ten minutes, was still not satisfied and walked to the sidelines.
"Dude!"
Someone behind him tapped him on the shoulder. Xia Xing looked back and saw that the black Monaco guy who came on as a substitute in the east half looked a few years younger than himself.
"Man, what I did just now was great, amazing."
"Thank you. My goals are also great. My combination of man and ball is really top-notch."
"Very good, he is just fast."
"My jersey says xia? Do I..."
"He does not have British nationality. He grew up in China, so I can regard him as a Chinese."
"Oh, no wonder I have an Asian face. But my playing style is very elegant, like a South American style."
"Ji Ji has just been kicking around since he was a child. He has no rules."
"No, no, no, he can see that I am very talented in football. Maybe one day, they will meet on a bigger stage."
The two exchanged jerseys, and the black boy looked at Xia Xing going away, thoughtfully.
"Hey Killian, why can't I leave?"
"Anthony, what do I think of that boy?"
"It's pretty good, he's talented, but he's too inexperienced. He's very unfamiliar with youth team players like us."
"No, he thinks he is very talented."
"Well, do you have any talent?"
"He has a premonition that one day they will meet on a bigger stage, and he will become a star that cannot be achieved!"
As the two chatted, a teammate from the youth team not far away called them again.
"Enjoy it!"
"Coming, Bernardo!"
The three young people walked side by side, chatting about the game just now, especially Xia Xing.
They would not have thought that a few years later, they would all have a special bond with Xia Xing.
When we meet again, things are different and people are different...
