Chapter 39 - Chapter 38

  15 points are added to two attribute values.

  Steals 35+10, strength 80+5.

  The interception ability has increased significantly, which has little significance for Xia Xing at this stage.

  After all, Leicester City's entire team has strong defensive capabilities and does not require much defense from him.

  But the strength increasing again,

this is so important!

  With a strength of 85 points, Xia Xing can even consider changing his style of play now.

  This level of strength is already at a superior level, and the intensity of the confrontation will also top-notch in the British Championship.

  The Butt card is completely absorbed and the progress bar changed.

  [(unit hour) Batistuta: 0/50. ]

  Now there is only one Barty card left in his hands that has not been fully absorbed.

  But having said that, Vieira's card is really hard to get.

  Starting a game and not conceeding a goal is not something that Xia Xing can achieve alone. It was much more difficult than the condition of scoring goals by himself.

  After strengthening his body, Xia Xing adapted to his body as quickly as possible in the next few days.

  Although the system attribute display has been enhanced, Xia Xing's mentality has never completely changed.

  When colliding with opponents, he is not very relaxed.

  After all, his physical confrontation was relatively poor at the beginning, and now he needs time to adjust his mentality.

  Just like a poor person who suddenly gets a lot of money, even if he wants to upgrade his consumption, it will take time to adapt.

  For example, in the locker room, what James once said.

  "If I make a lot of money in the future, I would wear a different 10,000-euro watch for 10 different days!"

  Drinkwater said: "Have you ever thought about it, if you make a lot of money? you can just buy a watch worth 100,000 euros?"

  James: "That makes sense! Why didn't I think of that?"

  De Laet: "That's how smart you are."

  James: "Fxxk..."

  At the training ground, In the gym, Xia Xing adapted to his body as quickly as possible.

  In the "virtual arena", Xia Xing also felt that he had changed a lot.

  At least in the confrontation with Vieri and Batistuta, he did not suffer too much.

  He collided with Butt's body and was even able to squeeze away from him.

  Sure enough, having a strong body is really a great asset for a football player.

  Three days after defeating Blackpool, Leicester City once again faced off Derby county in the third round of the League Cup.

  Pearson also discharged most of his substitute players in this game.

  Xia Xing was placed on rest and was not included in the squad.

  After Dyer was injured, Leicester City was left with only two left midfielders.

  The 21-year-old Schlupp is a product of Leicester City's youth training. He is fast and has good physical fitness, but his skills are relatively rough.

  In the competition with Xia Xing, he had no advantage, so he could only continue to play as a substitute.

  In this game, Leicester City faced the strong Derby County, and they were lucky.

  Three of the opponent's main players were injured and their strength was greatly reduced.

  In the end, Leicester City defeated their opponent 2-1 and won a victory.

  This victory also allowed Leicester City to move forward and advance to the quarter-finals.

  Although Pearson doesn't care about the cup that much, it doesn't mean that he is willing to lose.

  It is naturally a good thing to be able to move forward. It is a good thing that the team can earn more income and the players also have the opportunity to compete with the strong teams in the Premier League.

  Five days later, on September 28, Leicester City ushered in the ninth round of the league.

  Their opponent is Barnsley, whose strength is average.

  Leicester City has all its main players on the field, and this game seemed to be a sure win.

  But unexpectedly, they suffered a heavy blow as soon as the game started.   

  During a scramble, Konchesky fouled recklessly in the penalty area and gave the opponent a penalty kick.

  Moreover, he also received a red card.

  This made Leicester City's situation take a turn for the worse!

  It was really unlucky to have one less player and have a penalty kick awarded against you.

  Fortunately, the opponent's penalty kick hit the stands, and Leicester City did not lose the goal for the time being.

  But for them, the team was still in great trouble.

  Having a central defender sent off just at the beginning, it was difficult to play the remaining game.

  10 people have to complete the running distance of 11 people to ensure that there is hope for the game.

  Pearson decisively made substitution adjustments. He replaced high center Chris Wood and replaced him with Polish veteran Wasilewski.

  He is also a strong central defender and has rich experience. The biggest flaw is that he turns slowly, so he puts forward higher requirements for the team's midfield interception ability.

  And misfortunes never come singly.

  Just after Konchesky was sent off, midfielder Andy King was injured again.

  He bruised his calf and was in great pain.

  Although after examination by the team doctor, he believed that the problem was not serious and he could recover in about a week, Pearson still insisted on replacing him.

  In a long season, there is not so much room for error. The main player Dyer has already been injured, and he does not want to add another one.

  Knockaert was substituted and partnered with Drinkwater in the attacking midfielder position.

  Pearson did not replace a defensive midfielder, but let Knockaert, who can play multiple positions, come on and continue to create scoring opportunities.

  Sure enough, shortly after he came on as a substitute, Leicester City scored.

  This time it was still an opportunity created by Xia Xing in the midfield.

  After Andy King left the field, the team temporarily did not have a pure organizational midfielder.

  Knockaert, who came off the bench, is very capable of moving forward, but his passing is not particularly outstanding.

  Drinkwater has comprehensive skills, but he is not a pure passer.

  In this Leicester City formation, Xia Xing's passing is at the top level.

  Continuously pushing forward on the left, the opponent's defense tilted to the right to defend the wing.

  At this moment, after Xia Xing took possession of the ball again, he suddenly cut in to the center!

  One change of direction directly caused chaos in the opponent's defensive formation!

  A long pass to the frontfield with one foot on the ground!

  Vardy moved forward quickly and received the ball accurately!

  Faced with the pressure from the central defender, Vardy chose to pass the ball horizontally!

  Knockaert ran in from behind and shot into the net!

  The ball went in!

  1 to 0!

  In the unfavorable situation of the team playing with one less player, Leicester City actually broke the deadlock!

  This goal is so important!

  With a one-goal lead, Leicester City ended the first half.

  In the second half, Leicester City changed sides and fought again. Leicester City heavily defended as they wanted to defend the advantage of this goal.

  Their defense was very good. Until the 80th minute of the game, they did not give their opponents any absolute chance.

  Vardy ran out of energy and Pearson made a decisive substitution!

  American central defender Whitbread came off the bench and the team changed to 5-4-1.

  Only Knockaert was left as a mobile force on the front line, and now the Leicester City team was very tired.

  The disadvantage of having one less player to fight is becoming more and more obvious now.

  In the last ten minutes, Leicester City players felt like a year had passed.

  Barnsley's troops pressed forward and attacked across the board.

  Even the two central defenders were waiting for opportunities in the penalty area, leaving only one full-back in the backcourt.

  Barnsley midfielder's long shot was powerful!

  Schmeichel once again made a wonderful save!

  Punching out the ball with both fists!

  In the 82nd minute of the game, Barnsley got a corner kick opportunity...
