Chapter 431 Thank you, my dearest fans
On February 2, Manchester United easily defeated Hull City, killing the weak teams four times this season, making Hull City's road to relegation even more difficult.
After all, the pressure of relegation competition in the Premier League this season is comparable to that of the top four, and seven or eight teams are at risk of being relegated.
Especially last season's league champion Leicester City.
Half a year ago, they were the all-powerful five-time champions, and Leicester's miracle was famous all over the world.
Now, we can only fight to avoid relegation.
The speed of Leicester City's decline is depressing.
On February 6, in the 24th round of the Premier League, Manchester United met Leicester City again.
In the sixth round of the league, Xia Xing faced Leicester City for the first time.
At that time, Leicester City was already showing signs of decline. They suffered a series of consecutive defeats and eventually lost to Manchester United again.
As a professional player, Xia Xing will never hold back even when facing his old club.
The cheers flowed from blue to red, and from red to blue.
But no matter how it changes, it still represents the fans' love and respect for Xia Xing.
"Of course, you are my favorite disciple."
This feeling was still the same in Xia Xing until the start of the game.
Even this winter, many key players were disheartened and wanted to leave the team.
Those three years were so wonderful.
Xia Xing walked onto the pitch and took the lead towards Leicester City's side.
Mourinho thoughtfully made some tactical adjustments.
Xia Xing, Kante, Van Persie.
Xia Xing is naturally happy.
"It has nothing to do with you, don't think too much about it.
Compared with last season, the biggest change in the main lineup is that there are three fewer players.
"Coach, you don't look too good. You must take care of yourself."
Is it eight rounds or nine rounds without victory?
"summer!"
Xia Xing was moved by countless shouts.
Morgan: "Xia, you seem to have become stronger."
"It's a problem for the club as a whole.
I'm afraid even the Leicester City players themselves can't remember it clearly.
These three are the core players of Leicester City's three lines.
Although Okazaki Shinji, Musa and Ndidi also work hard, they are still far behind the previous three.
Thunderous applause instantly erupted from the stands!
Xia Xing is the playmaker, Robin van Persie is the center forward, and Kante is the defensive coverage.
As soon as the game started, they attacked continuously, trying to gain an opening.
"Remember, you will always be our pride!"
But this is football, this is life.
In this game, he allowed Pogba to return to the core position of the organizer again, and asked Xia Xing to retreat and take charge of defensive organization.
The back four of Fox, Huth, Morgan and Simpson,
Goalkeeper Schmeichel.
On the front line, Vardy burst forward,
Countless former teammates gathered around and greeted Xia Xing warmly.
But now, Leicester City has almost forgotten the taste of victory.
Looking at the friendly face in front of him, Xia Xing couldn't help but recall the days when they fought side by side.
Xia Xing responded with hugs to everyone.
Ranieri said, waving towards the Leicester City fans in the stands behind him and pointing at Xia Xing.
The smiling faces celebrating the five-time crown last summer are no longer there.
The continuous onslaught made it really difficult for Manchester United to defend in the opening game.
Why do you give xia such warm applause?
Now xia is our number one star!
In an instant, Manchester United fans also burst into applause, and countless fans shouted Xia Xing's name!
For a time, the Old Trafford stadium was filled with respect and love, and Xia Xing's name was flying high in the sky.
"Xia, don't think so much,
"Leicester City's problem is not a problem of one or two people.
Double defensive midfielder Drinkwater and Ndidi,
In this game, Manchester United still uses a 4-2-3-1 formation, and Leicester City also uses the same formation.
Looking at Ranieri's sincere eyes, Xia Xing suddenly felt a little sad.
Vardy: "Man, I miss you so much!"
It was Ranieri's idea.
Schmeichel: "I feel like you've gotten a lot taller? That's amazing!"
It's actually pretty good.
Especially Xia Xing, looking at Ranieri in front of him, suddenly felt a little distressed.
But if possible, he still hopes that he is not the one who caught the knife.
"Dude!"
In the past six months, he has aged much.
There is internal news that if Leicester City fails to win this game, coach Ranieri will be fired.
Fortunately, Vichai personally came forward to comfort him and ensured that Leicester City's lineup was intact.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired recently. Thank you for your concern. In the few games after winning the Ballon d'Or, I saw that your condition was a bit up and down, but you recovered quickly, which is good."
Thank you, my dearest fans.
I am just an ordinary player, not a savior. The only thing I can do is to plan my life and give my best while playing football, that's all.
"Xia!"
"my brother!"
"Play well at Manchester United,
"Xia!"
"hero!"
Mahrez: "Without you on the left wing, I have been under too much pressure this season..."
If I were still in Leicester City, Leicester City would definitely not be like this.
Xia Xing met Ranieri again on the sidelines of Old Trafford.
And now, when they need victory most, they meet Manchester United again.
Even though Leicester City Club flatly denies this statement, everyone knows that the Italian's days in the Fox City are numbered.
Everyone feels that Leicester City is not as strong as Manchester United and will defend in the opening game.
Drinkwater: "I really miss playing with you in midfield."
However, due to the weak attack, Leicester City's number of goals in this half of the season has dropped sharply compared to the same period.
Especially Mkhitaryan on the right, who was very embarrassed to defend Moussa's offense.
The old man seems to have more gray hair.
Behind him are Moussa, Shinji Okazaki and Mahrez.
"You did your best during your time at Leicester City,
"To this day, Leicester City fans still have not forgotten you.
"I have never forgotten the dream of five trophies you left for Leicester City.
“It’s simply wonderful.
At this point, the home fans quit.
Xia Xing was silent, and Ranieri seemed to see his heart and patted his shoulder gently.
Compared with last season, the defense has not changed at all, which is the biggest guarantee that Leicester City has not completely sunk into the relegation zone.
"I didn't expect you to still pay attention to my situation."
On the day they reunited, both of them didn't know what to say for a while.
But he didn't arrange it that way.
You know, Xia Xing was once the third captain of this team, and he was very popular.
Let Pogba organize the offense and organize the defense himself, which is the best.
Taking the initiative by surprise may have good results.
As a full-back who is strong in offense and weak in defense, Mkhitaryan has been struggling to defend in the opening stage.
Diagonal pass into the penalty area!
Vardy kept hitting the ball low and into the far corner!
De Gea made a flying save and kept the goal!
