Chapter 287 The stage of the Golden Globe Awards
In the third minute of stoppage time, Xia Xing decisively brought down Ali who was dribbling the ball forward in the midfield.
The referee's whistle sounds!
The game is over!
In that difficult game, Leicester City narrowly won 2-1!
They successfully advanced to the Eastern Round of the FA Cup!
In that game, Xia Xing made one pass and one shot, and he was the perfect contributor to the team's win!
Shakespeare on the side of the court smiled happily: "Xia is awesome! Even that can beat Tottenham. It's amazing!"
Ranieri also beamed: "Not bad, not bad, we can look forward to Xia's FA Cup journey."
Ranieri had an easy time in that game because he was not looking forward to it.
As an old man who has been involved in football for many years, he knows the relationship between ambition and strength.
Nowadays, it is very luxurious for Leicester City to dream of the league championship, and it is not easy to expect to go far in the Champions League.
In that situation, if you are too obsessed with foreign cup competitions, it will definitely affect the team's main battlefield, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, his strategic abandonment has no regrets.
In that relaxed state of mind, it feels great to see the team win.
After winning away against Tottenham, Ranieri gave the team a day off, even half a day longer.
It doesn't matter, it's not a substitute lineup anyway, it won't affect key games, and it can probably reward the players.
However, Xia Xing did not return with the team.
Neither did Ranieri.
The two took the plane and left, flying to Zurich.
Because tomorrow morning, Zurich will usher in the annual major ceremony of international football - the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony!
In that award ceremony, there was nothing left to guess about the Golden Globe candidates.
In 2015, although Messi's Argentina failed in the Copa America final, the disappointment in the national team competition cannot overshadow the club's glory.
2015 is still the year of Messi.
In 2015, Messi helped Barcelona win four crowns, La Liga, Champions League, King's Cup, and Club World Cup.
At this time, Barcelona became the first team in history to complete the Triple Crown twice.
If Leicester City had not stubbornly snatched away the European Super Cup, Barcelona might have continued to achieve the glory of five crowns.
In terms of personal honors, Messi is also unmatched.
In the 2014-15 season, Messi was not the best shooter in the Champions League and the assist leader in the Champions League (10 goals and 6 assists).
At the same time, he also won the La Liga Silver Boot (43 goals) and the La Liga assists leader (18 times).
Throughout 2015, Messi played 53 games on behalf of Barcelona, scoring 48 goals and providing 23 assists.
That kind of data and that kind of honor made the Golden Globe Awards lose all suspense before the draw.
On the awards stage, Xia Xing looked at Messi on the stage with envious eyes and applauded him with blessings.
Ranieri, who was next to him, patted his shoulder gently and whispered: "Young man, one day I will stand there too."
Xia Xing nodded vigorously, his eyes full of expectation.
Soon enough, Ranieri laughed.
There is a bit of a loophole in what I just said.
Xia Xing has already stood on that stage, and is doing so again now.
"The winner of the 2015 Puskas Prize - xia!"
The big screen was showing Xia Xing's performance in the Europa League final this season.
Facing Naples' defense, he passed five people and successfully scored, recreating Maradona's World Cup miracle.
That goal beat Messi and Brazilian player Wendel Lira and once again became the best goal of the year!
Applause rang out and Xia Xing walked on the stage.
He saw Taitung's Ranieri applauding vigorously, saw Messi's applause and smile, saw Cristiano Ronaldo's approving nod and applause, and saw the audience's shouts of blessing.
Then it was the second time in a month that he stood on the top stage to receive an award.
European Golden Boy Award, Puskas Award.
Two big prizes reached my legs, it felt great.
Walking to the east stage, Xia Xing fell silent in a sweet dream for a long time.
It feels great to win the Puskas Award consecutively.
I wonder how exciting it would be to defend the Golden Globe Award?
One regret today is that Xia Xing could not be included in the best 11-man lineup of the year in international football.
Neuer.
Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Ramos, Alves.
Iniesta, Modric, Pogba.
Waimar, Messi, Ronaldo.
Compared with those 11 people, Xia Xing's performance in the Europa League was somewhat disappointing.
In fact, many fans were not convinced. For example, they believed that Xia Xing's strength and performance were at least as good as Pogba's.
But no, Pogba's stage is bigger and his performance is equally impressive.
Xia Xing, who was less popular before, could not appear on the stage again.
Ranieri whispered in Xia Xing's ear: "When they achieve good results in the Champions League that season, I will definitely be among the best 11 next year!"
Xia Xing nodded vigorously!
Since we think the Europa League is a big stage, let us see his strength in the Champions League!
Very cool, win a Premier League championship and show it to everyone!
Returning to England in January and December, Xia Xing and Ranieri soon prepared to play away games.
On January 14, Leicester City welcomed Tottenham again in the 21st round of the Premier League.
It's also an away game, but it will be different tomorrow.
In a cup match, Leicester City played almost all their substitute players, but despite this, they still won the game 2-1.
And tomorrow, they will go out with all their main force!
Wrong. As far as Leicester City is concerned, they must win that game!
Facing the wrong leg in the league competition, Facing has a five-point lead, and they must continue to expand the score gap!
There is good news. In the game that just ended, Arsenal was defeated by Chelsea 1-2. They have one game less than Leicester City and are three points behind.
If Leicester City can win, then the six-point lead will be very nice!
So from the first minute of that game, Leicester City played very proactively!
Before that game, Leicester City had suffered four consecutive draws in the league.
Even so, tomorrow will not quench their passion for victory.
In the 12th minute of the game, Kane almost scored with a blast from outside the penalty area.
Schmeichel's world-class save kept the goal clean.
Soon, Leicester City was in disarray.
In the 17th minute of the game, Xia Xing dribbled the ball from the left!
He shook off two Tottenham defenders in a row!
Cross at an angle of 45 degrees!
That time Vardy's movement was not a cover, Xia Xing looked for Van Persie at the back of the penalty area!
The Dutch general jumped high and headed the ball into the goal!
The ball hit the net!
1 to 0!
Leicester City opens the scoring!
Excited, Van Persie rushes to Xia Xing!
Isn’t that a great goal?
Soon, Leicester City scored again!
Not to mention Xia Xing's side breakthrough, that time he attracted the defense and suddenly hit him horizontally!
Drinkwater in the middle quickly moved forward, fake shooting and passing!
The ball comes to Van Persie again!
General Fan kept shooting the ball and kicked it off!
Lori fought hard to save, but still couldn't stop the ball from hitting the net!
2 to 0!
Leicester City scores another goal!
The Dutch striker scored twice!
