Chapter 34 - Chapter 33

  Expanding the lead again, Carlisle United was completely defeated.

  In the 79th minute of the game, Leicester City youth player Schlupp passed the ball through the middle, and knockaert scored another goal.

  In the end, the game ended 4-1.

  Leicester City continued their League Cup journey with a big win.

  Standing on the edge of the court, Shakespeare said with a smile: "We have been in better and better shape recently. We only used substitute players today and we were able to win easily."

  Pearson said: "The opponent is just a English league two team. "

  Shakespeare shrugged: "Man, don't forget, in the two friendly matches before the season, our opponents were also English League Two teams. As a result, we barely won. You must know that we still fielded all our main players at the time. "

  Pearson: "Do you want to say that our main players are not as good as substitute players?"

  Shakespeare: "No, no, I just said that the team's condition is getting better and better, and some players are starting to play important roles, It's true isn't it?"

  Pearson: "Huh, even if xia has performed well recently, he is at most a good substitute in the British Championship."

  Shakespeare: "I didn't mention anyone's name, how did you know I was talking about xia? It seems you think he's playing pretty well too."

  Pearson: "This guy....."

  Shakespeare laughed, and Pearson punched him hard.

  If the team continues to win, it's naturally a good thing.

  Since the start of the league, Leicester City has won six consecutive victories in four English Championship games and two League Cup games.

  Their momentum is like the rainbow.

  Three days later, on August 31, Leicester City once again ushered in a British Championship match.

  This is the fifth round of the league, and their opponent is Charlton.

  At the Valley Stadium, Leicester City aims to take its seventh consecutive victory!

  As ninth in the league last season, Charlton is certainly not weak.

  The points gap at the end of the season was only 3 points behind Leicester City.

  It could be said that the two sides we're so close to each other.

  Compared with the many talented players in Leicester City, Charlton has few outstanding players. They rely more on teamwork and stability.

  And the so-called "almost" does not mean that there is none.

  So far this season, their most eye-catching player is a 21-year-old young goalkeeper-Pope

  This young goalkeeper, who is 1.99 meters tall, replaced the starting goalkeeper Ben Hamer who was absent due to injury this season.

  it was thought that he was just a backup goalkeeper, but he ended up getting better and better as he played.

  In the first four rounds of the league, he only conceded two goals, and one was a penalty kick.

  This young lad has quick reflexes, saves both close range and long range shots well, and has a maturity beyond his years.

  Facing Leicester City in this game, he still continued his top performance!

  In the seventh minute, Leicester City launched a fast break.

  Vardy and James accelerated at the same time and rushed towards the penalty area!

  Kurt is the only one on Charlton's defense!

  Two against one, sure!

  James attracted the defender and passed the ball to Vardy!

  Vardy outflanks and shoots from behind!

  Pope made a one time dive and knocked the ball out before it entered the net!

  Wonderful Save!

  Ten minutes later, Leicester City attacked again.

  This time it was a pass from Dyer from the left!

  Chris Wood leaped high and headed the ball into the goal!

  This time Pope was out of position!

  Even so, he still twisted hard!

  The height of nearly two meters played a huge advantage!

  He Got the ball out on the goal line!

  Leicester City failed again!

  After a series of fierce attacks, Leicester City failed to score.

  Charlton's occasional counterattacks could not break the deadlock, as Schmeichel's performance was also very stable.

  But for Leicester City, the most important thing now is scoring goals.

  At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-0.

  In the second half, the team changed sides and played again, and Pearson made substitution adjustments.

  He removed Konchesky and replaced him with Nugent, who played well in the previous game.

  The formation also changed to 3-4-3.

  There was a high point in the middle, and the two wings also attack quickly.

  But even so, they were still unable to get the break through.

  This goalkeeper Pope, who is nearly two meters tall, is like a divine help. He is not afraid of high-altitude balls at all and can pick them up accurately every time.

  It was not until the 75th minute of the game that Xia Xing was substituted in again.   

  During a breakthrough on the left wing, Dyer was brutally tackled by the opponent's defender Dervite and immediately fell to the ground in pain.

  Pearson protested loudly to the fourth official and even received a yellow card.

  "Xia! You go in!"

  "Okay."

  "Pass them hard! Then score!"

  "Okay!"

  "If you can handle this game, I will start you in the next game!"

  "Yes sir!"

  Xia Xing was very happy!

  He had been looking forward to the starting position for a long time!

  On the one hand, he needs to prove his strength.

  On the other hand, he also needs to get a starting spot in order to complete the last mission goal and obtain the Vieira card.

  After obtaining the Butt card, Xia Xing was eager to find a stronger midfield opponent to hone himself.

  Xia Xing patted Dyer on the stretcher: "Good luck to you, buddy."

  And ran onto the Field quickly!

  There wasn't much time left for him, he had to make good use of little he had!

  The game restarted and Charlton was still fully defensive.

  Leicester City's passes were frequently sent to Xia Xing's feet on the left.

  You must know that Xia Xing's recent form is quite hot.

  In the last League Cup game, he bagged a hat-trick of assists.

  He came on as a substitute in the first two rounds of the league and scored a goal and an assist.

  Now even some fans are calling on the coach to give the Chinese boy more opportunities.

  Now, his teammates are also looking forward to what he can offer!

  He then dribbled the ball through the wing and found his teammates accurately with passes twice.

  However, the two shots were blocked by Pope again.

  Especially now when he just blocked Nugent's close shot.

  Shakespeare on the sidelines kicked the turf: "This kid is so awesome, why doesn't he fucking join the England national team!"

  The time came to 85 minutes, and the ball fell to Xia Xing again.

  Dervite on the opposite side rushed forward ferociously, to prevent him from advancing forward to attack.

  You know, Dyer was kicked down by him just now.

  But this time he didn't succeed.

  Compared with Dyer, Xia Xing's speed, explosive power and reaction are faster!

  The moment Dervite made a heavy sliding tackle, Xia Xing suddenly changed direction to cut inside!

  Dribbling the ball forward to the right and heading straight towards the penalty area!

  At this time, teammate Drinkwater stepped aside at the right time!

  The two completed a cross-position swap!

  Xia Xing dribbled the ball and sprinted along the middle!

  Facing the attack from central defender Kurt, he shook body continuously and suddenly accelerated!

  Shaking away the defender again!

  Breaking into the restricted area!

  Getting a chance to shoot!

  Pope blocked the near corner and never gave Xia Xing a chance to shoot!

  Xia Xing continued to move forward and suddenly made a move!

  This time it was still not a shot, but a pass!

  Nugent rushed in from the middle shot into the far corner!

  At this point, it was too late for Pop to move his center of gravity!

  The ball went in!

  1 to 0!

  Leicester City finally scored a goal!

  The home team stands at Valley Stadium instantly went dark!

  Only the visiting team fans were left cheering excitedly!

  In the live broadcast room, the commentator's incredible voice came!

  "Every time he comes off the bench, He always contributes something!"

"Xia is simply Leicester City's good luck mascot!"

  "He is a super substitute!

  "And definitely a Top genius! "
