Chapter 42 Heavy artillery bombardment!
Shakespeare trotted out of the locker room and let out a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere just now was so depressing, not to mention the players, even he felt very uncomfortable.
"Xia! Vardy! James!"
Three players were warming up when they heard the assistant coach calling them and ran quickly to the side of the court.
"Coach, what instructions?"
"Three of us came on the bench in the east half and were ready."
"good."
"Pearson just said that we must score in the east half!"
"good!"
The three of them agreed and looked at each other, feeling quite stressed.
Pearson did some fighting in that game, and half of the main players rested.
Including three of them.
But now the team is in trouble.
Starting forwards Conoket and Nugent performed generally and neither had many shots on goal.
The midfielder and backcourt also made frequent mistakes, giving many opportunities for wrong legs.
Falling behind 0-2, now the demand is catching up.
At the beginning of the first half, Leicester City generals discovered a problem.
Bournemouth also changed their formation on the wrong leg!
They changed their fast break style in the half, directly changed to 5-4-1, and began to huddle in the backcourt!
Obviously, they want to defend the two-goal advantage!
I want to know that in the past few games, Leicester City was unable to do anything about the wrong leg of its defense, and even lost two games in a row.
Bournemouth were two goals ahead at half-time in that game and they are more confident now.
It’s not easy to defend two goals in 45 minutes?
Can Leicester City tell them with practical actions soon——
If you want to stick to zero seals, it’s absolutely impossible!
The eastern half had just begun when Xia Xing, who came on as a substitute, sent a wonderful cross from the left!
Continuous changes of direction to get rid of it, and suddenly made a pass!
Nugent in the middle of the penalty area jumped up high and hit the goal with a header!
The ball hit the goalpost!
Just a little worse!
Two minutes later, it was Xia Xing's performance on the left again.
Passing two people on the wing, sprinting directly to the bottom line!
A precise pass from the baseline found Chris Wood at the back post!
Chris Wood scores a header again!
The ball slides out!
Or it’s just a little bit worse!
Although those two headers were missed, they still made the Bournemouth players break out in a cold sweat.
At this time, they put away their pride and elation during the halftime break.
Even if they are two goals behind at the wrong leg, since they are not the top team in the British Championship, they must not be careless!
With Xia Xing's passing legs, the quality of Leicester City's crosses from the wing is much higher.
Schlupp, the starting left midfielder, is fast and explosive, and can often reach the wrong side of the backcourt.
But the level of passing is actually quite different.
Xia Xing's speed is similar to him, but his passing ability is several levels higher than his.
Coupled with the fact that James came on as a substitute on the right wing and frequently pushed forward, Leicester City's two-wing tactics started!
Bournemouth's position was even deeper, especially if it compressed the space in the center of the penalty area and did not give Nugent and Chris Wood two high-point opportunities.
On the two wings, the cross defense of Xia Xing and James has been further strengthened.
In the few minutes after arriving from the east, Leicester City's offense seemed to be much weaker.
But no, is that the end?
No way!
In the 61st minute of the game, Xia Xing got the ball from the left.
The midfielder presses quickly!
Xia Xing knocks the ball to the right with his left foot and pokes with the toe of his right foot!
The ball goes to the frontcourt, and Xia Xing quickly follows up!
The defensive player was shaken away!
Xia Xing advanced along the middle road. He wanted to return to the left road, but the route was already blocked!
Can Bournemouth be very aware of his passing ability and stock up on the wings?
Boy from China, I don’t want to pass the ball again!
If there is no chance on the side road, Xia Xing can continue to take the middle road!
Just now, he has been looking for opportunities to cross and help his teammates with the ball.
After coming on as a substitute, Xia Xing did not take a shot.
At this time, everyone outside the penalty area is also trying to cut off Xia Xing's short passing route, preventing the forward from having a chance to respond.
Now, there was an emptiness in front of him!
Xia Xing’s eyes lit up!
At that time, you can give it a try!
At this time, it was 35 meters away from the goal, and Xia Xing did not continue to move forward!
Take decisive action!
Guys from Bournemouth, let us see his "heavy bombardment" star skills!
Since he obtained the "Heavy Artillery Gate" skill, he has tried it in the "virtual training ground" and has not even used it in the training ground.
Tomorrow, debut!
S-level "Heavy Artillery Blast" star skill!
79 points shot!
85 points of strength!
Full blast!
At this time in the live broadcast room, the commentator is still watching Leicester City.
"Based on the recent games alone, he is not optimistic that Leicester City can successfully surpass the league this season!
“They faced weak teams continuously, and they had no way to score goals!
“That’s not what a strong team should be like!
“We have already seen the problem after losing to Yeovil and Doncaster in succession.
"That game was 0-2 behind Bournemouth. I wonder if they were playing in League One during the season.
"Leicester City can't even win against a League One team, so what's the point of reaching the Premier League?
"Xia was very active just now and passed the ball well.
"Maybe my teammates are not sure that Leicester City's attacking power is too poor.
"If I get the ball, the wing is blocked, and there is no chance to pass the ball in the middle.
"He has no good choice. In fact, he can try...
"He took a long shot!
"That shot was so powerful!
"Go straight into the blind corner!
“The ball went in!!!
“The ball went in!!!
"That shot was incredible!
"About 35 meters from the goal, the ball penetrated the entire Bournemouth defense!
“It passed over the defensive player’s head and hit the right corner of the goal!
"The goalkeeper didn't react at all!
"That was the best long-range shot in the Championship this season!
"none of them!
"Great strength and speed!
"a!
"And surprisingly, that shot came from a tough guy like Drinkwater.
"But it comes from xia who has a smart playing style!
“That young man has great speed and dribbling, and he also passes the ball very well.
“I didn’t expect that I could hit such a shocking long-range shot!
"That young man is definitely the future star of Leicester City!"
The commentator's passionate explanation was accompanied by cheers from the King Power Stadium.
The fans who were about to turn off their phones and go to sleep in front of the TV also cheered up at this time.
While the stadium was there, Leicester City players embraced the summer trip.
Morgan: "xia! I'm great!"
Drinkwater: "When did my boy practice long-range shooting? He is better than him!"
James: "That long-range shot is so cool! He'll beg to try it later, hahahaha!"
Xia Xing smiled and hugged and high-fived everyone, but everyone's celebration didn't last long.
Because it’s not the time to celebrate!
Quickly return to the half court and continue the work!
1 to 2!
A good half hour!
They still have a good chance in that game!
Must win!
