Chapter 216 Goal Battle
In the 29th round of the league, Leicester City was tied at home by the relegation team Hull City.
In another game, Manchester United won a big victory and they were three points away from Leicester City.
Very close.
There is nothing Leicester City can do.
Intensive operations and insufficient bench depth are the best they can do in this situation.
Especially Xia Xing, he tried his best, but he couldn't help the team win.
After all, he is not a god...
After playing Hull City on March 14, the team took the time to rest.
On March 18, they will usher in the second round of the Europa League.
Although the overall score is 1-0 in the away game, it is hard to say what the situation will be like at home.
There is good news for the team, that is, the entire Leicester City team is in good physical condition and condition.
That's pretty good.
After all, Zenit is very strong and if they want to win at home, they must go all out.
On the evening of March 18th, the King Power Stadium was brightly lit.
Europe also ushered in the late spring cold in March, and fans felt quite cold.
For the Leicester City players, they didn't care.
"That's much better than in Russia!"
"That's right! It feels like summer now compared to when we were in Russia during a game!"
Facing the menacing Zenit, Leicester City is also ready to go.
As soon as the game started, Leicester City showed the British team's special offensive system.
The midfielder passed the ball continuously and the ball came to Xia Xing's feet.
At this time, defensive player Witsel was also in place.
The moment Xia Xing caught the ball, his ankle shook!
The ball quickly reaches the front!
Then he speeds up and sprints!
Passed the Belgian midfielder!
The full-backs were ready to prevent Xia Xing's breakthrough!
I would like to know if Xia Xing’s breakthrough video is one that Zenit has watched frequently recently!
But they were wrong.
Xia Xing did not break through, but directly chose to pass the ball!
The ball goes straight to the back point!
Smolnikov squeezed away from Vardy and prevented him from accelerating!
Garay jumped high and tried to head the ball to clear the ball, but he didn't touch the ball!

“It caught Zenit off guard!
"Bu Nao, he doesn't ask for praise and praise,
"He found that xia's passing skills are even more superb!
"He just paused for a moment on the left,
"He very much thought he was thinking,
“I didn’t expect that I was waiting for Mahrez’s movement!
"Tacit cooperation!
"Precise pass!
"The ball bypassed the defense and looked like it was going to the striker.
“I didn’t expect to find Mahrez!
"He deserves to be Leicester City's midfield playmaker!
"1 to 0!
"Leicester City already leads 2-0 on aggregate!
“And there’s an away goal!
"If Zenit wants promotion,
"Then they have to ask for two more goals,
"Leicester City has the upper hand!"
Amid the cheers at the King Power Stadium, Leicester City will be in full swing tomorrow.
Several consecutive midfield collaborations almost expanded the score advantage.
Mahrez on the right was also jumping up and down, shooting twice, both of which made the wrong goalkeeper Lodkin very embarrassed.
In the 21st minute of the game, Leicester City once again launched an attack from the left.
But Xia Xing's control of the ball from the left instantly attracted the attention of three players from the wrong side.
There are many defenders paying attention.
Xia Xing did not hesitate and decisively passed the ball across the field!
Cutting off the forward penetration and long passing routes, Xia Xing simply moved the ball!
Drinkwater moves forward to catch the ball!
About 33 meters away from the goal, Drinkwater kicked off and shot!
The ball hit the outside of the goal post hard and bounced into the net!
"The ball went in again!
"2 to 0!
"Leicester City scores another goal!
"Did Xia create a murderous intention that time?
"Drinkwater used his long-range shooting skills that he is very good at.
"Blowed open the net!
"That shot was so violent!
“Excellent!
"Perfect shot!
"Their total score has expanded to 3-0!
"Jin is Telluride Wang!"
Pearson on the sidelines applauded vigorously!
Shakespeare next to him couldn't help but praise: "Xia is really an excellent genius! If he had just been replaced by Mahrez and faced with multiple defenders, he would have a high probability of trying to break through. But otherwise xia would never
Don’t hesitate, just choose to pass the ball!”
Pearson nodded: "Yes, when surrounded by wrong legs, Xia clearly saw the running gaps of his teammates and passed the ball decisively. He is really a treasure midfielder."
Two goals were in the legs, and Leicester City's offense still didn't stop.
In the 29th minute of the game, the cooperation between Mahrez and Vardy failed.
After the wrong party's attention was taken away by Xia Xing, Vardy suddenly exploded!
Mahrez's long pass to the ground accurately ripped apart the defense!
Vardy successfully countered offside!
On the left side of the penalty area, he rubbed the ball without stopping!
The ball went over the goalkeeper's head and directly into the far corner!
The ball went in!
3 to 0!
King Power Stadium has become a sea of joy!
At this time, the Zenit players were already starting to get confused.
Is that Leicester City in a game?
Why do you feel the difference is so big?
If Leicester City players hear the confused questions from Zenit players, they will definitely answer.
Nonsense! I froze to death during a game! That’s a kick in the ass! Now we’re back at home and we’re going to die!
The total score is 4-0, Leicester City is basically stable.
