At noon on April 13, Leicester City conducted their last tactical training the day before the game.
That training session with the ball was not long, so Ranieri arranged for two groups to compete against each other for 45 minutes.
Could it be that that ordinary mismatch surprised the Leicester City soldiers!
In just 45 minutes, Xia Xing contributed three goals and three assists!
Although there is a gap in strength between the main team and the substitute team, the difference is not that big!
Especially Fu Xia Xing, his performance simply made his teammates unbelievable!
Shakespeare on the sidelines couldn't even believe his eyes: "What happened to Xia tomorrow? Is his performance too exaggerated? He must have taken some special Chinese supplements, so don't let anything happen..."
This situation has happened in European football before. At that time, a Korean player who played for La Liga was banned for many games because he took a tonic sent from South Korea. It turned out that it was found to be contraband.
Although it has been found out before that it was an unintentional act, it also served as a warning to many people.
Asia’s special tonics should not be taken indiscriminately.
So when Shakespeare saw Xia Xing's amazing performance, he had some doubts.
But Ranieri shook his head: "He understands Xiao and he can't do that kind of stupid thing. The only reason for his outstanding performance tomorrow is that he has trained hard and maintained his excellent form recently."
There is nothing wrong with that, and Shakespeare agreed.
After every day's training, Xia Xing still stayed at the training ground and practiced late, and everyone knew that.
Little did they know that Xia Xing would play football in the "virtual arena" for another five hours after returning home every morning...
No, it’s already been five hours. It’s been ten hours since yesterday morning.
After the system was upgraded from A-level to S-level, the overall performance has also been greatly improved.
First of all, the "Virtual Arena" monthly limit has been increased from five hours to ten hours.
That’s very important for a summer trip.
Although you will be more tired, you can improve your strength more quickly.
Anyway, the feeling of fatigue will not be brought to reality.
Secondly, the "medical space" should be opened systematically.
There, half an hour of silence every day can quickly restore physical fitness and recover from injuries quickly.
That's not even an excellent feat for Xia Xing.
On the evening of April 14, the King Power Stadium welcomed Bayern Munich.
The Bundesliga team visited Leicester City and was not very satisfied.
Small city, small stadium, small and stingy.
On the bus heading to the stadium, the stewards chatted easily.
"Are you really not interested in playing for a small team like that?"
"No, if possible, he would like to play for Real Madrid or Barcelona."
"That's right, they are the only ones worthy of being with them."
"They actually scored one goal in one round. It's really too bad. I have to beat them in that game!"
"That's right! Let them fully understand what makes a super team!"
The players are in a good mood and very relaxed.
But Guardiola was a little worried.
Because in his heart, Leicester City cannot afford to pay by mistake.
They always have an uncomfortable temperament around them.
I have felt that feeling before at Atletico Madrid.
Don't have the fighting spirit of "As long as I'm not a fool, I'll continue to fight with us".
This is not a big threat to Bayern.
After all, there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Maybe I am overly worried.
Tomorrow he still arranged a 4-1-4-1 formation, the same as in a game.
Goalkeeper Neuer.
The back four is Alaba, Benatia, Kimmich and Lahm.
Defensive midfielder Xavi Alonso.
Four attacking midfielders: Ribery, Thiago, Thomas Muller, Robben.
Center Lewandowski.
Even the starting lineup has not changed.
And on the Leicester City side, it was the same.
Tomorrow will definitely be a repeat of the first leg.
On the sidelines of the court, Guardiola was still waiting for Xia Xing and wanted to say hello to him.
But Fu Xia Xing ran quickly on the court, giving him no chance to shut up.
When Xia Xing came on stage, the King Power Stadium burst into applause!
It was as if their number one star had scored!
Guardiola was stunned.
Is that guy so popular?
And when the game started, it became even more certain that Guardiola was wrong!
The referee's whistle sounds and the game begins!
Leicester City took the lead.
Vardy and Van Persie passed the ball continuously, and the ball was handed to Mahrez on the right.
Mahrez suddenly accelerated with the ball!
Directly passed Mueller who was trying to grab him!
Bayern's second line of defense is here instantly!
Ribery is grabbing!
Those two wing stars are mismatched again!
That time, Mahrez didn't hesitate at all!
Keep sprinting!
With a fake move, Dong passed Ribery!
The French winger is the same as Mahrez, both can attack the strong and defend the weak!
Mahrez passed two people in a row!
Thiago is grabbing and he is very decisive in defense!
That time Mahrez didn't continue to dribble, and he suddenly ran straight into the penalty area!
Vardy accelerates and sprints!
Receive the ball on the edge of the penalty area and shoot directly into the far corner of the goal!
The ball went straight to the dead center!
Neuer predicted in advance and fell to the ground with all his strength to save!
The ball was saved with his fingertips!
Bayern escaped disaster!
Thunderous applause at King Power Stadium!
Just after the game started, Leicester City almost equalized the total score with a wonderful fast break!
Bu Nao, that’s just the beginning!
At the King Power Stadium, Leicester City did not start conservatively, and their attacks became higher and higher!
Drinkwater and Mahrez passed the ball, and Brother Drinkwater blasted a shot in the middle!
The ball missed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline!
Or just a little bit worse!
The continuous onslaught left Ranieri in a daze on the sidelines: "Before that game, can't we let them defend first?"
Shakespeare even asked in confusion: "That's right."
"Then why did they attack so fiercely?"
"I don't know... Could you please let them retreat appropriately?"
"No, let's check the situation first."
Ranieri could see that the players were in good condition and had great courage in attacking.
That kind of momentum is very rare.
Even if they can't score a goal in a short period of time, it would still be a good thing to suppress Bayern for a period of time.
Let them use caution and not dare to be too presumptuous at the King Power Stadium.
Ranieri was wrong.
Should I suppress it for a period of time?
Can't score a goal in a short period of time?
Leicester City players tell their manager with their performance - they can score goals!
In the 19th minute of the game, Kanter intercepted Xavi Alonso's pass.
His positioning was wonderful that time, but Muller missed.
After stealing the ball, Kanter made a decisive diagonal pass!
Give the ball to Mahrez who is accelerating on the right front!
Mahrez accelerates forward after receiving the ball!
Let Thiago beside you have no time to react!
Left back Alaba is grabbing!
Mahrez makes a decisive cross!
At the goal line, just kick up and volley!
The ball goes straight into the net!
The ball went in!
1 to 0!
Leicester City opened the scoring and broke the deadlock!
Mahrez jumped high in excitement!
Punch hard!
Who said the Robery combination is invincible on the wing?
