Chapter 73 Come on, gangsters!
"The English Championship is weaker than the Premier League? NO!"
That article headline appeared on the front page of the sports section of The Times.
Bu Nao's article was doubted by many people.
Especially Premier League fans.
"It's not that the English Championship has strength, but that Leicester City has strength! Please find out!"
In an interview with Sky TV, the words of an experienced football commentator spoke for many people.
“In games where most Premier League teams miss out on Championship teams, the Championship is definitely at a disadvantage.
“The large-scale penalties in the English Championship can easily make players get used to the rough style of play.
"Once they encounter harsh penalties, they will suffer.
"Although Leicester City are tough, their playing style is not rough.
"That's why they can compete with Premier League teams.
"So stop bragging about the Championship, it's meaningless."
No, Leicester City's performance this season has indeed exceeded the attention outside the English Championship.
Their performance was heard throughout Europe.
In particular, many Leicester City players are said to have been targeted by many teams in the five major leagues.
No one thinks much about it now, because for all Leicester City people, going all out to surpass is the most important thing.
With wins over Queens Park Rangers and Reading, Leicester City's winning streak continues.
On December 29, they defeated Charlton Athletic again.
It’s also a 1-0, and it’s also Xia Xing’s assist.
Leicester City's lead has reached 13 points.
After taking turns fighting, Leicester City players are very tired.
Three days later, Leicester City will continue to play in the Premier League, not away from home.
In January 2014, on the second day of the year, they will visit the Neil Stadium for the first game of the Eastern half of the English Championship.
Their wrong leg, no Millwall.
If you meet a football hooligan again, you will have been screaming for a long time.
"If Leicester City comes to their home ground, they will definitely give them a good look!"
Leicester City defeated Millwall at half-time, which was a very embarrassing scene for them, and they still vividly remember it.
At the thought of this, resentment arose.
Pearson didn't show any force that time.
For him, it is now necessary to maintain the team's physical strength reasonably.
Especially if we miss Millwall, we have to ensure that the players don't get injured.
So Pearson fielded almost the entire substitute lineup in that game.
Even captain Morgan was on the bench.
In the starting lineup, only Schmeichel, Xia Xing, and Drinkwater are the three most reliable main players.
Others are not substitutes.
And the goal Pearson gave the players in that game was also very clear——
Don't get hurt, take less cards!
He didn't even ask to win.
In other words, as long as everyone is fine in that game.
Anyway, the team is now 13 points ahead of second-placed Burnley. A draw or even a loss will not matter!
Leicester City seeks stability, but can Millwall seek ruthlessness?
From the first minute of the game, they clashed fiercely.
Maybe they didn't expect that there was something new in that game.
Why...don't Leicester City have possession of the ball?
In that game, in Pearson's favor, Leicester City even took the initiative to give up the ball to the wrong team.
Then he retreats and counterattacks.
Come on, gangsters!
Come and attack!
So much so that Millwall couldn't even be punished.
Did they collide with the body? It turns out that the wrong team didn't control the ball, so what should we do?
You can't go for the wrong leg that doesn't have the ball, right?
Doesn’t that mean it’s just a fight?
Moreover, Millwall's offensive ability is mediocre. If the ball is given to them, they can't have any decent offense.
After playing for more than 40 minutes in the half, there was no decent shot at all.
In the first minute of injury time, Xia Xing put a tackle in the midfield and stole the ball from the wrong side!
A long pass goes straight to the frontcourt!
Conoket succeeded in countering offside and caught the ball and shot!
The ball went in!
1 to 0!
Leicester City used a fast break to open the scoring!
With a one-goal advantage, Leicester City entered the east half.
In the east half, the game changed sides and Leicester City still gave the opportunity to control the ball to the wrong side.
Millwall stormed into Leicester City's half.
It looks like Zhang Fei's embroidery, hammering the needle and thread hard, has no effect.
In the 78th minute of the eastern half, Drinkwater stole the ball in midfield and suddenly moved forward.
At a position 35 meters away from the goal, he kicked off and shot!
The ball hit the dead center!
2 to 0!
Leicester City scores another goal!
victory is in sight!
In the past, Millwall couldn't score a goal either.
In that game, they wanted to take revenge, but they were knocked over by the wrong leg again.
The fans in the stands kept yelling and cursing, but the Leicester City coach didn't care.
Let's scold them. The harder we scold them, it will prove that they play better.
Pearson on the sidelines was even more smiling.
Very good.
No one was injured in that game, and we won the ball very well. It was really good.
The match was earlier, so Leicester City did not stay overnight locally and their bus returned to Leicester City.
The bus stopped in front of the club, and Pearson looked at everyone with a smile.
"Guys, we have worked hard tomorrow.
"You can defeat those gangsters in Dong without a single blow.
“We did a great job!
"Tomorrow is the second day of the New Year. I wish everyone a Happy New Year!
"Two days off, go back and rest!"
The bus was buzzing with excitement!
Drinkwater drove Xia Xing to the door of his house and waved goodbye.
Looking up, I saw the lights in my home were brightly lit.
After facial recognition, the door opens automatically.
Li De and Aliona are both in the living room.
"Are we so late and have no rest? Are you waiting for him?"
"I guessed wrong!"
Aliona hugged her warmly, and Xia Xing was extremely warm.
Li De snorted: "It's true that my sister guessed wrong. He said that Pearson will definitely bring us back for the New Year."
Aliona pointed to the kitchen with a smile: "I don't need to cook tomorrow, they have already prepared it. From the end of the game, Li De began to calculate my travel time, and estimated that I should be home soon, and it turned out to be true.
"
Xia Xing smiled: "Li De, my brain is really good."
Li De curled his lips: "He's better than me anyway."
Aliona went into the kitchen and soon dinner was on the table.
It's just nine o'clock now, and British people often have dinner at that time.
The three of them walked east and chatted while eating, relaxed and happy.
After the meal, Xia Xing went back to the room and took out the New Year gifts prepared for the siblings.
"Li De, is that a New Year's gift for me?"
"A top-of-the-line laptop? Wow, that's not cheap, it's okay."
"My old laptop can be exchanged for something."
"Ali, that's the Chinese cheongsam I've always wanted. He asked someone to bring me five sets, all of different styles. I hope I like it."
"Wow! They all look great! He likes them so much! Thank me!"
Seeing the happy looks of the siblings, Xia Xing was all smiles.
Aliona's New Year's gift to Xia Xing is a leg watch with a deep sky blue dial, which is very beautiful.
Li De gave Xia Xing a pair of casual suits. They were very slim and looked good.
The stove was warm outside, and the three of them were walking on the sofa chatting.
Chatting and laughing.
The smell of home fills every corner...
