Chapter 276 A decisive blow!
While warming up on the pitch, Leicester City players occasionally looked at the Real Madrid players warming up on the other side.
Especially Ronaldo.
Xia Xing patted Vardy on the shoulder: "Man, I need to score more goals. I watched Cristiano Ronaldo score 6 goals in the 4th round of the group stage. I beg you if you don't tighten your grip, I guess the Champions League Golden Boot will be enough."
There’s no chance.”
Vardy: "Don't make fun of him... He wants to win the Champions League Golden Boot. Isn't that a dream... Does he think I have a chance to hit the Champions League Golden Boot? After all, can I score 6 goals now?"
Just like Ronaldo."
Xia Xing: "That's okay. If he thinks about it, he won't pass the ball to me in that game and he will take more shots himself."
Vardy: "No, no, no, I can't pass the ball to him more, he wants to compete for a golden boot..."
Xia Xing: "Hahahaha!"
Several teammates laughed and the atmosphere was lively.
Although they are about to face a strong opponent, the overall atmosphere of Leicester City will be good tomorrow.
Although they didn't win a game, they were still in a good mood.
After all, we have a clear lead in the league and don't care about the gains and losses in one or two games.
Especially tomorrow, the game is even more demanding.
In addition, there is one reason why the Leicester City team is in a good mood.
Will Kante finally be able to play against Real Madrid tomorrow?
In the second round of the Champions League group stage, Kante received an unfair red card and was given a penalty.
Although Leicester City appealed after the game, it had no effect. Kante was previously unable to participate in the first round match against Real Madrid.
Now, Kanter is back.
As far as the current Leicester City team is concerned, there is no doubt about Kante's reliability.
If Xia Xing is the team's guarantee in the Eastern Conference, then Kanter is the team's guarantee in the Eastern Conference.
With his large-scale running and defensive coverage in the midfield, Leicester City's overall strength is at a higher level than it was last season.
This not only improves the defense, but also greatly improves the team's offensive power.
Because of Kanter's defensive prowess, Xia Xing also has more energy to devote to the offense.
The effect of mutual promotion and improvement, Kanter and Xia Xing formed an excellent chemical reaction.
From the first minute of that game, Real Madrid attacked with all their strength.
To their fault, Leicester City's defense was not worth mentioning.
Xia Xing is a little more difficult to miss, but Real Madrid has many offensive points.
That time, Ronaldo and Ronaldo often alternated their positions, hoping to disrupt Leicester City's defense.
Especially Xia Xing's defense.
In one game, Ronaldo almost did not do much because of Xia Xing's strict defense.
Tomorrow, Cristiano Ronaldo and Xia Xing were mismatched several times at the beginning of the game, but they did not get any advantage.
In that game, Xia Xing did not engage in technical confrontation with Ronaldo, but directly engaged in physical confrontation!
That's Ranieri's arrangement.
Not only did Xia Xing go, but all members of Leicester City played very fiercely.
He looked as if he was ready to die and was not afraid of getting hurt.
I am afraid of wearing shoes when I am barefoot.
But Real Madrid can't.
They have a strong chance of winning the league title and the Copa del Rey. They must not let players get injured.
So after the first few attacks, seeing Leicester City's ferocious tackles, the Real Madrid players slowed down a bit.
To put it another way, even if we lose the game tomorrow, we must not get hurt.
You can’t lose even if you lose.
With that kind of mentality, Real Madrid's momentum tomorrow is clearly not in the cards.
Ronaldo, who has just returned from injury, is a little timid in playing, and physical confrontation is not his specialty.
And midfielder Isco is not in very good shape tomorrow either.
Toni Kroos is in the defensive midfield position, organizing the offense and responsible for defense.
But the defensive effect is not ideal either.
Although Leicester City faced Real Madrid in that game, they also faced a Real Madrid team that was eager to win.
The one who showed the most positive performance was none other than Cristiano Ronaldo.
After several consecutive breakthroughs with the ball, his subsequent shots were also very threatening.
There is not much of a threat to Bu Nao.
Because Ronaldo doesn't have a particularly good shooting space.
Even though he and Ronaldo switched positions continuously in that game, there were many opportunities to avoid Xia Xing.
But no, very Kanter!
When Cristiano Ronaldo had a mistake with Kante for the first time, he didn't pay much attention.
It's just a small character, you can pass it off casually.
But he was wrong.
Cristiano Ronaldo pedaled his bicycle continuously on the left wing and suddenly accelerated and sprinted!
Kanter was passed by him!
Just when Ronaldo was happy, Kanter quickly followed!
That surprised Ronaldo!
So what's going on?
That kid has great speed and explosive power!
When Bao Nao falls, if you quickly chase back and defend, you can still block your own offensive line!
Ronaldo didn't give up, the ball moved between his feet!
But Kanter's center of gravity has not moved and he still holds firm!
Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly started and rushed to the bottom line!
He is no longer planning to attack, and is preparing to pass from the east side!
Could it be that as soon as the ball came out, Kante tackled it!
The ball filled the stands!
Ronaldo's attack was ruined!
The shocked Ronaldo turned to look at Kante, who was there in the east. Kante had already climbed up, patted his butt, and looked at Ronaldo with a smile.
The small red teeth in the mouth are particularly dazzling.
Five minutes later, there was another attack from Real Madrid, this time from Cristiano Ronaldo.
He accelerated with the ball on the left wing, and Kanter stood in front of him.
Ronaldo rides a bicycle!
Suddenly pulled sideways!
Passed Kanter!
But it seems that it is not completely over...
Drinkwater quickly grabbed the ball, and Ronaldo pulled the ball again, passing Brother Drinking Water!
But just for a moment, Kanter Yongtuo came!
Forced to kick, the ball slid out!
Ronaldo cursed in his heart!
What a difficult guy!
Switched positions with Ronaldo and came to the right wing.
Look up.
Haha, no summer trip.
He really denied XXXX...
Faced with the fact that he completely blocked his Xia Xing in a game, Ronaldo felt a little apprehensive.
The steps on the east foot kept moving, but Xia Xing was unmoved.
Compared with Kanter, Xia Xing's defense is not as good as the little Frenchman.
Especially when it comes to marking people, the performance is much worse.
But no, Xia Xing is extremely fast and has top-notch explosive power!
Especially compared to Ronaldo, he is almost the same!
He has a very strong body and can resist any mistakes.
That gave Ronaldo an even bigger headache.
Was that game really hard to play...
Throughout the game, Ronaldo was almost surrounded by Xia Xing and Kante and did nothing.
The other attacking legs were in poor condition. Real Madrid cooperated a lot in that game and had few effective shots.
The two sides ended the half 0-0, and the situation in the east half was still similar.
The score did not change until the 88th minute of the game.
After both sides had just used up their three substitutions, Xia Xing suddenly dribbled the ball forward!
Sprint along the left wing!
The Isco in front of him was directly knocked away by him!
Modric accelerated to catch up, but he was not as fast as Xia Xing!
Xia Xing continues to sprint!
Carvajal is grabbing!
Ramos is approaching!
It’s now a situation where the two of them are guarding each other!
Xia Xing pulls decisively!
From the left corner of the penalty area, volleyed!
The ball was inserted into the far end of the goal and into the corner!
Even though goalkeeper Navas flew over, he couldn't touch the ball!
1 to 0!
Leicester City scored the winning goal!
