They lost 0-1 to Bayern in the away game. Although it was not ideal, it was not too bad.
Facing one of the top teams in the world, a small loss by one goal is nothing.
After all, there is a home game in the second leg.
When the time comes, find your place again!
Ranieri did not criticize the players, but encouraged everyone's performance in the locker room.
We also gave the players two days off to have a good rest.
Because he wanted to continue playing Bayern in the middle of the Eastern Weekend, he once again sent out a full substitute lineup for the game that weekend.
"Xia, did he suggest that I take a rest..."
"Thank you coach for your concern. He is really fine, no problem."
"Well, if the team is stable at halftime, he will force me to move to the east court."
"OK, all right."
Xia Xing didn't insist anymore.
After all, Ranieri gave him a lot of face.
Three days later on the weekend, Leicester City played Sunderland away.
That game was not that important to them.
After all, he is now 11 points ahead of Arsenal. There are only six rounds of league games. He just needs to win three more games to win the championship early.
And it is the basis for Arsenal to ensure a complete victory.
It's basically stable now.
In that game, except for Xia Xing, there was still no substitute lineup.
Even so, they are still much stronger than Sunderland.
Not long after the game started, Xia Xing hit the goal with a long shot!
The ball was so powerful and heavy that it was 30 meters away from the goal, just like a shot from the penalty spot!
1 to 0!
Leicester City scored first!
In the 18th minute of the game, Xia Xing's personal assist helped Ulloa score with a header.
2 to 0!
Leicester City scores another goal!
At the end of the half, Leicester City took another advantage.
Andy Jin controlled the ball in the frontcourt, and Xia Xing quickly ran diagonally.
The defensive players thought that the two would hit the wall and cooperate, but Andy King suddenly turned around and volleyed!
The ball drew an arc and inserted into the far corner of the goal!
3 to 0!
Leicester City scores another goal!
Victory is down to the legs!
Ranieri didn't even want to wait for the halftime break, so he changed directly to Xia Xing.
That made Xia Xing dumbfounded.
But he also understood the hard work of coach Hong.
Anyway, the team has won, so let more young people practice their legs on the field.
Having said that, he seems to be one of the smallest players there.
The east half changed sides and the battle resumed, but Leicester City's attack was still fierce.
Although Xia Xing was not present, the substitute players still showed top offensive power.
In the 55th minute of the game, James broke through with the ball on the right.
After shaking off two defensive players in a row, he took a shot and the ball hit the dead center!
4 to 0!
Leicester City continues to expand its lead!
After scoring the goal, James rushed to the side of the court excitedly to celebrate with the fans!
Can he be greeted with water bottles and scoldings?
De Laet hurriedly choked him: "I ran in the wrong direction, and the fans of the home team are in the stands!"
James: "Oh, he didn't pay attention, and he was almost killed..."
De Laet: "I might as well have been smashed to death! You're brainless!"
James: "Tch, I'm just jealous. If I have the ability, I'll score a goal."
De Laet ignored him.
Very quickly, he responded with action.
In the 64th minute of the game, Andy King took a corner kick, and De Laet shot from behind in the melee!
The ball rolled into the net!
5 to 0!
Leicester City scores another goal!
De Laet, who scored the goal, rushed to the visiting team fans' stands!
Excited to celebrate!
Then he didn't forget to wave his leg to greet James.
"I'm coming over!"
"I'll go play by myself! He just left!"
The stadium is here and Leicester City players are already playing very relaxedly.
With five goals in their legs, their frontcourt attacks were getting higher and higher.
In the 78th minute of the game, Shinji Okazaki hit the net with a low shot from outside the penalty area.
6 to 0!
Leicester City keeps scoring goals!
In the second minute of stoppage time, Inler also took advantage of a long-range shot to hit the net.
7 to 0!
Leicester City won by seven goals!
That game ended perfectly!
In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer couldn't stop praising the players present.
"Leicester City wins another game and they are one step closer to the league title!
"Although Arsenal also won the game at the same time,
“But it’s no use.
"They are still 11 league points behind Leicester City.
“Leicester City just needs to win two more games to win the championship in advance!
"Although Arsenal have not given up, their hope is slim.
"Leicester City have done wonders that season.
“In their second season in the Premier League, they are about to become the Premier League champions!
"That's simply too disrespectful!
“They also entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
"We also reached the semi-finals of the Mr. Xu Cup!"
“Such results are amazing in the history of the five major leagues!
“Even if there was a ‘Miracle of Kaiserslautern’ in the Bundesliga, he felt it was not as good as the current ‘Miracle of Leicester City’!
"Tomorrow, he doesn't want to praise the core players at Leicester City,
"Xia, Mahrez, Vardy...
"The wonderful performances of those stars are obvious, and he won't go into details.
"He wants to compliment the players who are here tomorrow - the Leicester City substitutes.
“Leicester City fought on multiple fronts that season and they still performed solidly.
“I’m facing a Champions League match, I’m facing a Premier League double match in a week,
“Ranieri frequently adjusted his lineup and carried out battles.
"But despite this, Leicester City still maintains a stable state and is moving forward with determination on the third line.
"Behind that, Leicester City's substitute players played a very important role.
"It is precisely because of their outstanding form that Leicester City has the confidence to fight.
"Even without the main players on the field, those substitute players still helped Leicester City win.
"They deny Leicester City's substitute hero!
"Let them give them the applause!"
That time, even if Carragher, who always liked to treat Leicester City harshly, applauded sincerely at this moment.
No, without those substitute players, Leicester City would not be able to reach this point.
Leicester City's outstanding results that season were inseparable from every one of their players.
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, and the score was 7-0.
On the sidelines of the court, Ranieri hugged each East Court player in turn, congratulating and recognizing them.
As there are fewer games left, the smile on Ranieri's face becomes brighter.
Joining Leicester City that season was perhaps the best decision he made in his decades of coaching career.
He knows that the glory that belongs to him, the glory that belongs to Leicester City, is coming.
What he wants to do now is to go all out to fight for the Champions League and strive for an even bigger miracle.
Substitute players have two days off.
Ranieri now does not hesitate to let the players have a good rest.
After all, at that stage, the body can reserve paralyzing land skills and train more intensively.
Now the entire Leicester City team is waiting patiently in the East for the second leg match against Bayern.
Waiting for the visit of the Bundesliga overlords.
Naturally, Xia Xing couldn't train with all his strength to maintain his condition.
Very useful, accumulate time in the "virtual arena" and strive to absorb cards as soon as possible.
The April 14 competition is coming soon.
On April 13, Xia Xing finally achieved his goal!
That time, he also ushered in a major leap in strength!
