Chapter 25 The Miracle of Watford
Both sides gained something in the first half, and the fierce confrontation continued in the east half.
There was more hand-to-hand fighting in the first half of the second half, with neither side gaining much.
During that game, Xia Xingxing was in the stands of the visiting team's fans, cheering for his team in the stands along with several teammates who were also not included in the squad.
At this moment, he truly felt the power of the British Championship.
After joining the Manchester United youth training camp, he once went to Old Trafford to see the stadium and feel the charm of the Premier League.
The sense of power of passionate collision is fascinating.
But at this moment, the league known as the most fault-resistant league in the world really opened Xia Xing's eyes.
So, is it the British Championship?
The fierce collision between the wrong legs not only hurts the body, but also seems to cause the soul to collide.
Just when he was making a shovel, Konchesky was even hit by the wrong forward and his nose bone was broken. He was bleeding and looked hideous.
Two minutes later, after temporarily stopping the bleeding, he ran back to the court and continued fighting.
This kind of English Championship is definitely a battleground for men!
And after truly experiencing the British Championship, he also understood that Pearson was wrong for his lack of optimism.
In that kind of mismatch, you will indeed suffer a lot.
Even if you have the skills, it is difficult to play it.
It seems that the improvement of physical strength is imminent.
I hope Zidane’s star cards can significantly increase his strength, and I hope Chengdong’s few cards can continue to strengthen his body, otherwise it will be too difficult for him to gain a foothold in the British Championship.
In the 45 minutes of the east half, neither player had a good chance to score, and the score was previously fixed at 2-1.
Leicester City win their first league win of the season!
Although the team is not perfect, it is actually very good!
Xia Xing saw that Pearson smiled when the referee's final whistle sounded.
The team won and took another step towards the Premier League!
Leicester City used two substitutions in that game, and many good players were on the bench.
It's not that Pearson doesn't care about them, but that he rejects Pearson's tactical arrangements.
Because the two games in the East are very close to each other and there are two games a week, physical arrangements must be made reasonably.
After all, there are 24 teams in the English Championship, and they need to play 46 games in a double cycle in a single season, which is a lot of pressure.
Moreover, there are many League Cup, FA Cup and other competitions interspersed in it, which means that the players' physical fitness will be greatly improved.
In August March, Leicester City won against Middlesbrough.
In August and June, Leicester City once again ushered in the competition.
That time was not a British Championship match, but an English League Cup match.
In English football, the League Cup has a very low status.
Not only are they below their respective leagues, but they are also being crushed by the historic FA Cup.
Many Premier League teams really don't take it seriously as to whether to send young players to fight.
In recent years, due to the fierce competition in the Premier League, some mid-range teams will also attach great importance to the League Cup to boost morale.
As for lower-level leagues, both the League Cup and the FA Cup can create a hotbed for the miracle of the weak defeating the strong.
If you can draw lots with a super strong team, you may be able to win a good amount of ticket revenue.
So for Leicester City, they can go as far as possible in the League Cup.
In that game, Pearson sent out most of his attacking players and allowed the main players to rest as much as possible.
For him, the goal for that season was not to make an upset in the cup, but to surpass the league.
So he doesn't care that much about that type of cup competition.
Many substitute players came on the field in that game, including the season's starting forward combination of Nugent and Conoket.
Can those two be the first and second shooters outside the team this season?
Leicester City lost to Wycombe Wanderers in the first round of the EFL Cup.
A League Two team.
For Leicester City, winning against them is no problem at all.
The process of that game in Bu Nao was much more difficult than Pearson imagined.
Not long after the game started, Wycombe Wanderers got the better of them.
An inconspicuous counterattack, with no space for the ball, a casual long-range shot, and it actually scored a world wave?
1 to 0!
Wycombe Wanderers are ahead!
The visiting fans cheered wildly!
The King Power Stadium suddenly became a stage for the visiting team fans to explode in red!
The game was very fast, and Leicester City was also very impressive.
It was also possible to get the ball in the midfield, and it was also possible to shoot from a long distance. Andy King's curve ball of about 32 meters went straight into the net!
1 to 1!
Leicester City equalized the score!
If you come back from the east, score another goal and take the lead as soon as possible!
Could it be that the goal came too late?
After more than 80 minutes of fierce attack, it was not until the 85th minute of the game that striker Nugent scored a goal on counterattack.
2 to 1!
Leicester City finally overtook the score!
The fans in the stands burst into applause!
On the sidelines of the court, Shakespeare breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have you taken the lead? That game was really too..."
so terrible.
The Leicester City player with the worst performance in tomorrow's game should be forward Conoket.
The opportunities he wasted on his own were countless.
If Pearson hadn't cherished his talent and hard work, he might have been traded away long ago.
Just after a single chance, Conoket missed again.
The coaching staff on the sidelines sighed.
Xia Xing, who was walking on the bench, shook his head.
It stands to reason that if he is the second shooter outside the team during the season, why can't he be good that season?
Drinkwater, who was walking next to him, whispered to Xia Xing, "Xia, he believes in fate more and more now."
Xia Xing: "Huh? Why?"
Drinkwater: "Just because of Conoket."
Xia Xing: "What happened to him?"
Drinkwater: "From the first shot of the season, he completely kicked his luck away."
Xia Xing was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized: "Did I mean that game?"
Drinkwater nodded heavily, and he himself did not want to go eastward.
Because that game never hurts the Leicester City players.
A British Championship game has been mentioned repeatedly by countless fans and has become a good talk, so it is not the famous "Watford Miracle".
In May 2013, in the second leg of the British Championship play-off semi-finals, Leicester City missed Watford.
The score on the field at that time was Leicester City leading 2-1, and the total score was 2-2.
If it ends with that score, Leicester City will advance to the play-off finals with an away goal advantage, one step away from the Premier League.
And at the very beginning of injury time, Leicester City won an extremely valuable penalty kick.
Just ask for the ball to score and Leicester City will win.
Could it be that the penalty kick was missed?
The Watford player made a quick clearance and the ball flew across the half court.
After a series of coordination, Watford's No. 9 player Deeney volleyed and scored.
In an instant, the people of Watford cheered wildly, and Leicester City fell from heaven to hell.
That game, or the penalty that was not scored, was the most painful moment of the season when Leicester City failed to reach the Premier League.
And the forward who missed the penalty kick was none other than Conoket...
