Chapter 78 Two wings fly together
Years later, when Mahrez looks back on his career, will he always recall that game?
That was his first appearance in England.
The first two shots resulted in two goals.
A wrong leg does not disqualify a Premier League team.
From that moment on, he began to enter the field of vision of many scouts.
From that moment on, he was officially on the road to becoming a superstar.
At this moment, Mahrez can't think of getting that far, and he is willing to enjoy the present.
The visiting team fans were in the stands, and the cheers and applause from countless Leicester City fans were all given to him.
Is that what he deserves?
Teammates rushed to hug him, which made Mahrez very warm.
It seems that my decision to join that team was absolutely correct!
Seeing Xia Xing, Mahrez took the initiative to hug him.
He knew that although he had scored a goal just now, without Xia Xing's cover and assists, he would not have scored.
"Xia! Thanks for the pass!"
"Riyad, I'm awesome!"
"Come on, let's win that game together!"
"Get rid of them and win the Eastern FA Cup together!"
"Hahahaha! Okay, that's it!"
After scoring two goals in a row, Leicester City's momentum is coming!
After coming to the east for a while, they still defended and counterattacked.
Now Stoke City are in big trouble.
In the half-time defense against Xia Xing, they could barely control it.
But now that Mahrez is on the right, they are in a dilemma.
After all, the midfield and backfield personnel are limited, and it is impossible to guarantee that both wings can be defended.
No matter now or in the past, the tactic of two wings flying together will never be invincible.
Take Bayern's current Robbery combination, for example, both of them are capable of passing, breaking through and finishing.
That makes it difficult for defensive players.
Coupled with his good shooting legs in the middle, it is even more difficult to defend.
Stoke City continued to attack to no avail, and became more and more anxious as they played.
In the 79th minute of the game, Leicester City once again launched an efficient counterattack.
That time the ball was passed to Xia Xingjiao on the left.
Xia Xing still accelerates with the ball!
Facing three defensive players, Xia Xing made a cross pass!
The ball is handed to Drinkwater in the middle!
At this time, Mahrez's speed on the right has already increased!
It seems like he is planning to score a hat trick!
Vardy and Chris Wood are also ready to go forward!
Stoke City's defense goes all out!
Didn't you expect that Drinkwater passed the ball to the left?
Xia Xing has accelerated to break through the siege and caught the ball!
On the left wing, Xia Xing decisively cuts outside!
Right back Wilson was dodged!
Keep walking towards the middle!
Shawcross can't knock Xia Xing away!
In the center of the penalty area, Xia Xing kicked off and shot!
The ball hits the net!
"The ball went in!
"3 to 1!
"Leicester City scores another goal!
"That time it was xia's turn to perform!
"Qi is the hottest player in East Leicester City,
"Xia performed very well in that game!
"Mahrez's two goals just now were all related to him!"
Excited Leicester City generals hugged each other!
Shakespeare rushed to the stadium!
Pearson also applauded with a smile on his face and looked at the players on the court.
Those guys are really nice.
However, he still did not take it lightly.
Whitbread and Wasilevskiy came off the bench, replacing De Laet and Moore, who can be transferred from the East Sports.
The two full-backs who came off the bench are also known for their excellent defense.
Coming from the east, Leicester City is looking to consolidate their victory.
It's now the 80th minute of the game, and Stoke City is two goals behind.
Now they are anxious!
Rampage in the middle!
Desperate cross from the wing!
Desperately looking for opportunities to score goals!
Could it be that despite Leicester City's united defense, their offense had no effect at all.
On the contrary, Leicester City seized the opportunity to counterattack and launched two more fast breaks.
Although none of the previous shots could break the net, they still posed a great threat to Stoke City.
In the third minute of stoppage time, Arnautovic's blast from outside the penalty area was punched out by Schmeichel!
The referee's whistle sounds!
The game is over!
"In that fierce game, Leicester City defeated the wrong leg 3-1!
“And whether it’s the wrong leg from the Premier League!
"Based on the current situation, Leicester City's promotion to the Premier League this season is almost a foregone conclusion.
"Under that situation, Leicester City should be in good shape when they reach the Premier League this season.
“The Premier League teams they have faced in the cup this season,
“Two wins and one loss in three games, which is a very good result!
“Win East against Fulham and Stoke City!
“Even if we lose, we still lose 2-3 to Manchester City!
“They did really well!
“The Premier League in the Eastern Season is interesting!”
It was a difficult victory for Leicester City.
And the significance of that kind of victory is not only the game itself, but also the spiritual level of the team is greatly improved.
After all, the team they defeated was not a Premier League team.
After that game, Pearson praised the team again.
"A day and a half off!"
"Oh oh oh!"
Pearson, who used to be strict in the past, has changed from his normal behavior and is much gentler.
After a day and a half holiday, the players returned to hard training.
The FA Cup has ended and the English Championship continues.
In half a month after arriving from the east, Leicester City will usher in the 25th to 27th rounds of the English Championship.
Derby County, Leeds United, and Middlesbrough missed out in sequence.
The three wrong legs are all average in strength, not weak.
Except for Derby County, Leicester City failed to win by one goal when the other two legs crossed at half-time.
Would it be so difficult to face a mistake when we meet again?
Leicester City used its strength to tell them - No!
The current Leicester City are no longer the Blue Foxes half a season ago.
Xia Xing's rapid growth has given Leicester City a new core.
Mahrez's quick integration into the team gave Leicester City more offensive support.
Since missing the Stoke City game, Mahrez has completely established his starting position.
James went to the bench and was inseparable from substitute left midfielder Dell.
The wing combination that dominated the Championship this season has been replaced that season.
Bu Nao and the others are not convinced, because the wings of Xia Xing and Mahrez are so powerful!
In the three games since the East, Leicester City has easily won three consecutive victories!
Defeated Derby County 3-0!
Won East Leeds United 3-1!
Sweeped Middlesbrough 4-0!
In three games, Leicester City scored ten goals!
In those three 90 minutes, the most eye-catching thing was naturally their wings!
Mahrez scored four goals! Contributed two assists!
Xia Xing also directly contributed six assists and scored two goals!
Two wide players participated in all ten goals!
In the east of their bombardment, Leicester City's attack was as fast as the wind!
The Blue Fox's two-wing strategy has achieved unprecedented success!
