Chapter 248 A brand new team
Baresi, Maldini, Nesta, Cannavaro, Facchetti.
Caniggia, Alan Shearer, Figo, Ferdinand, Ronaldo.
Ten names are extremely dazzling.
Ten tasks with different difficulties.
Everything is exciting.
In the first ten missions of this season, there are four SS-level cards.
There was an SS-level card in that season.
Although the number of top cards was reduced, Xia Xing still looked at the mission with a light in his eyes.
To him, his data attributes now look very good.
The attack power is absolutely top-notch in the Premier League, and the defense is also impressive.
The upgrade path from Donglai is good, whether it continues to enhance its advantages or strengthen its shortcomings.
Especially his current defensive ability is obviously lacking.
In the midfield defense during the season, most of it relies on strength, speed and physical fitness.
In terms of real defensive skills, he is very poor.
If you absorb those defensive masters, your defensive ability will improve by leaps and bounds.
By then, I will truly be a top-notch all-around midfielder.
Actually, not now.
Xia Xing is still not satisfied with his own strength and works very hard. But in the eyes of his teammates, he is really super strong.
Especially new teammates.
At the training ground, when Xia Xing intercepted two passes from Leer and Shinji Okazaki in the midfield, Van Persie, who was running free, was stunned.
"Xia, am I not an offensive player? Why am I so strong on defense?"
When he faced Manchester United during the season, Van Persie didn't have many chances to play and was basically recuperating from injuries.
Xia Xing's devastating performance on the court made Van Persie ignore his defensive ability.
When I see it now, my eyes really light up.
That young man is much stronger than he thought!
In defense, new players Fox and Ben Arua are even more impressive.
Xia Xing's defensive cooperation in the midfield made them play very comfortably.
What a great midfielder.
After the formation and combination changed, they quickly felt the bitterness.
Why is that guy so offensively capable?
Xia Xing dribbled the ball from the left wing, shook off three teammates in a row, and shot into the net with one kick.
Young Chilwell was stunned.
Xia Xing: "Man, stand up and keep going."
Chilwell: "Brother, he will never be worth even half of what I am worth in his lifetime. I am too fierce..."
In just a few days, Xia Xing's performance conquered his teammates.
Especially new teammates.
They are full of confidence in Leicester City's new season!
With that kind of midfield core, they can even compete for the Premier League title!
They admired Xia Xing, and there were also people in Bu Nao who admired Xia Xing.
After the first few days of mismatch, someone locked horns with Xia Xing.
French little Kante.
Facing Xia Xing, Kanter consciously approached him and took the initiative to defend.
And Xia Xing also felt the pressure from his presence.
Sometimes Xia Xing even passed Kanter, but he soon lost his chance again.
Either Kanter quickly covered up the defense, or Kanter cleverly cut off the best offensive line.
In the past, Xia Xingbu often relied on cooperation with his teammates to overcome Kanter's liquid.
In training outside the team, Kanter ranked first in the success rate of defending Xia Xing every time he made a mistake.
And if Qiu doesn't consider stealing the ball, he will stick to Xia Xing, and it will be difficult for Xia Xing to break free.
Xia Xingwai was very shocked.
That dude is awesome!
With his defensive ability, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is among the top three in the Premier League!
Kanter's defensive ability was recognized by Xia Xing, not to mention the entire team.
Especially in Ranieri's mind, has Kanter become a person second only to Xia Xing in terms of popularity.
In several lineup changes, Kante has become Ranieri's best defensive midfielder.
Assistant coach Shakespeare was satisfied: "During the season, they wanted to get a good defensive midfielder to completely liberate Xia Xing, so that he could have more energy to devote to the offense. Now, they finally have it, my thing...
…”
He looked around happily and was suddenly stunned.
Oh, that man is gone.
No, I feel a little uncomfortable.
Ranieri saw through Shakespeare's thoughts, so he didn't mind, but lightly patted him on the shoulder with a sincere look.
"Man, thank you. I'm willing to stay and help him."
"Well, actually, even if he doesn't help me, he can't bear to leave Leicester City."
"He knew that several clubs were poaching me that summer, and I had a good head coaching position."
"He is not suitable to be a head coach now. He is too tired. He just likes to be an assistant coach."
"It wouldn't be a bad idea to work as an assistant coach for a wealthy club."
"Forget it, I'm not an assistant coach anyway. It's great to be in Leicester City. He likes it there."
"You're right, he likes it there too!"
The two looked towards the direction of the pitch, where the Leicester City soldiers were playing a training match.
That summer, they all maintained good physical condition and quickly got into the game rhythm.
In early July, Leicester City arranged four friendly matches.
The two legs are not very strong. They come from the English Championship, the Belgian Premier League and the Portuguese Premier League.
The process is amazing.
Four games, two 1-0, two 2-1.
All are small victories.
But no, I’ll just say win or not.
After watching four friendly matches played by Leicester City, the "Leicester Evening News" published a commentary article.
"After watching those four games, did he fully understand why Leicester City invited him here?
"Because his coaching characteristics are so similar to Pearson's.
"Both have large-scale running in the midfield and strong defense.
"Both can attack quickly and defend and counterattack.
"Even though the wrong leg was not strong, Leicester City defended steadily.
“Isn’t that amazing?
"After all, Ranieri is a famous coach, and the changes he has brought to Leicester City are not small.
"For example, in the offensive data of those games, the team's effective passing rate was much higher than in the season.
"The cooperation of several new players is also very good. It seems that Ranieri has high legs to engage with the team.
"For him, a team with a good atmosphere outside the team, no big-name stars, and a team where the players are united,
"This is the best stage for Ranieri.
“He even felt that maybe Leicester City would bring them a bigger miracle that season!
"Let them wait and see!"
A bigger miracle may be too difficult for Leicester City.
Bu Nao's brand new team really impressed people.
Leicester City fans who watched those four friendly matches felt as if their team was more solid.
I haven't seen any special changes, but it does feel more stable.
Especially when faced with the siege of the wrong leg, they obviously made the fans more at ease.
That feels really good.
Four friendly matches, four consecutive wins, Leicester City is building a team according to Ranieri's ideas.
And Ranieri also follows his own principles.
Just hope that if you win the game, everyone will eat pizza together after the game.
That has become a new rule for the team.
Yeah, very warm rules.
