Chapter 273 Xia Xing scores goals like crazy!
In a difficult game, Leicester City lost 1-3 away to Real Madrid.
After that game, Leicester City's qualifying situation for the Champions League group was in danger.
In another game, Benfica swept Malmo 5-0, scoring three points and achieving a sufficient goal difference.
After three games, Benfica is now firmly in second place in the group, three points ahead of Leicester City.
In the next few Champions League games coming east, Leicester City cannot afford to make any mistakes.
Otherwise, their Champions League debut will end here...
For a period of time after arriving from the east, Leicester City frequently fought on two fronts.
Not only do I strive to go all out in the Champions League, but I also strive to score points in the league.
That would not be easy.
Especially since Leicester City has gone through four games without a win on two fronts, the pressure is extremely high.
After losing to Real Madrid, many media once again ridiculed Leicester City, saying that their good luck was about to run out and they would be knocked back to their original shape.
At the training ground, Ranieri became unusually serious.
"Boys, do we know why the media is criticizing and ridiculing us?
“Because we pose a threat to the wealthy clubs they support!
“Especially that season, all the top players in the Premier League were in a very sluggish state, and we were not even a big threat!
"So they laugh at us to make them feel better.
"Please know, we are top of the Premier League table now!
"I wonder how they can criticize us?
“The fact that they have not won four games is not a matter of strength, but of bad luck.
“I believe that with Jie Donglai, they will definitely win!
“Keep winning and stay at the top of the Premier League!
"Continue to win and strive to qualify for the Champions League group!
"Come on, boys!
"He made us look forward to it so much!"
Ranieri's words were sonorous and powerful, and rarely inspiring.
The Leicester City soldiers have already been working hard and are ready to go.
Back east for a while, between the two Champions League group matches, there were two Premier League games.
On October 25, in the tenth round of the Premier League, they missed Crystal Palace at home.
On October 31, in the eleventh round of the Premier League, there was an away game against West Brom.
In November and April, in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, they missed Malmo.
In November and July, in the twelfth round of the Premier League, Watford was played at home.
On November 21, the thirteenth round of the Premier League was an away game against Newcastle.
On November 26, in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, they missed Real Madrid at home.
There is a month of national team competitions in between.
Is it really not easy for Leicester City to have a double match in a week?
Returning from the Bernabeu on October 22, Leicester City continued their Premier League journey.
Taking into account the players' fitness issues, the game was still a success.
Although there was no large-scale attack, all offensive players such as Vardy and Mahrez were rested.
In terms of maintaining the midfield and backfield combination.
Especially Kanter, who made his debut.
Kante was depressed because he could not play in the game against Real Madrid.
He got a chance to play in that game and he jumped up and down on the court.
Because Vardy and Mahrez are missing, Robin van Persie also takes a rest, so Shinji Okazaki and Ulloa will partner as the forwards tomorrow.
Didn't you expect that the most outstanding attacking leg in that game was Feng Xia Xing.
Facing the menacing Crystal Palace, Xia Xing just kicked off the game and shot with a blast!
38 meters away from the goal, Xia Xing shot from the outside instep on the left!
The ball passed through the goalkeeper's fingers and went straight into the net!
1 to 0!
Five minutes later, another pass from Xia Xing found Ulloa.
Ulloa decisively responded!
Xia Xing follows Long Shot!
The ball hits the net again!
2 to 0!
Just ten minutes into the game, Leicester City took the lead by two goals!
After returning from the east, it was Xia Xing's turn to assist.
In the 22nd and 39th minutes of the game, Xia Xing made two crosses from the wing.
Helped Shinji Okazaki and Ulloa break the net respectively.
4 to 0!
With a four-goal lead, Leicester City played more relaxedly in the east half.
In the 67th minute of the game, Xia Xing passed the ball to the right.
Hammond, who started the game, received the ball and rushed into the penalty area with the ball!
A low shot successfully broke the net!
5 to 0!
Excited Hammond rushed to Xia Xing and hugged tomorrow's captain tightly!
In the 79th minute of the game, Xia Xing once again fired a shot.
That time, there was a man in the frontcourt who hit the ball, and Xia Xing blasted it into the net!
6 to 0!
Leicester City will be happy to win tomorrow!
Especially Fu Xia Xing, who not only scored a hat trick, but also scored a hat trick of assists!
Leicester City, which has lost four games, is back to form again!
A 6-0 victory over Crystal Palace was just the beginning.
Six days later, Leicester City played West Brom away.
It's not a big victory.
In the away game, it was Xia Xing's super performance.
As the team's core organizer, he passed the ball twice in succession to help Vardy and Van Persie score!
2 to 0!
After several consecutive games without a win or a goal, the goal drought has finally been broken!
After returning from the east, Xia Xing started his own performance again.
In the 51st, 55th and 59th minutes of the game, Xia Xing scored three goals in a row!
Ten minutes away, he was performing a hat trick!
5 to 0!
Leicester City has another big win!
With their explosive form, Leicester City finally reached the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.
Welcoming Malmo at home, Leicester City players are in full swing.
In one game, Kanter was given a penalty due to an own goal and was suspended for one game.
Now, they seek revenge at home!
In the 7th minute of the game, Xia Xing dribbled the ball from the left wing and ran wildly!
He passed four defensive players in a row and fired furiously from outside the penalty area!
The ball is inserted into the near corner!
1 to 0!
Leicester City opens the scoring!
In the 19th minute of the game, it was Xia Xing who broke through the barrier by riding alone!
Outside the penalty area, suddenly cut outside!
Kick and shoot from the far end!
The ball hit the dead center!
2 to 0!
Leicester City scores another goal!
In the 55th minute of the east half, Xia Xing scored with another long-range shot!
3 to 0!
On the Champions League stage, Xia Xingzai scored a hat trick!
In the 71st minute of the game, Xia Xing dribbled the ball into the goal again and got a penalty kick opportunity.
According to the order of penalty kicks outside the team, Robin van Persie, Vardy, Xia Xing.
But since Van Persie and Vardy have been traded by Ranieri, it's the summer trip's turn.
Bu Nao Xia Xing did not take the penalty himself, he handed the ball to Kanter.
After being unfairly punished in a game, he held the ball and looked at Xia Xing with a moved face.
"Dude, it's up to me."
"Um!"
Kanter slowly retreated and volleyed!
The ball hit the net!
4 to 0!
Leicester City is sure to win!
Seeing Kante hugging Xia Xing tightly, Ranieri smiled on the sidelines.
"That guy actually has some offensive talent. If he is polished well, he will become an excellent all-around midfielder."
Shakespeare was stunned: "Will it?"
Ranieri was very sure: "He sees people very accurately, and Kante will become a world-class midfield star."
Shakespeare shrugged: "Whether Kanter can become a world-class midfield star will have to be tested in time. But he is very sure that Xiao will definitely become a world-class midfield star! For sure!"
