After the victory over Watford, Xia Xing also received the system prompt immediately.
[Task: In the game against the nemesis, help the team defeat the opponent with more than three goals. ]
[Mission goal completed! ]
[The mission reward has arrived - Eric Cantona card, S level! ]
With the Cantona card, the "virtual arena" has another superstar.
And the system time can finally be accumulated.
After completely absorbing Solskjaer, the system entered a period of hiatus.
There was no way to accumulate daily training time, which is a pity.
Well now, hello to the Cantona card.
Xia Xing had a lot of feelings while playing with different stars during this period.
When playing in a positional warfare situation, forwards such as Cantona, Vieri, and Batistuta can exert greater advantages.
Henry, who is also super strong, cannot use his technical advantages.
This reminded Xia Xing of Vardy.
Also fast and equally good in counterattack, but in the current British Championship, he really cannot perform to his max ability.
He is not suitable for strong team tactics.
I believe that after Leicester City is promoted to the Premier League, they will definitely be humble when facing strong Premier League teams.
By then Vardy's super counterattack ability will definitely be brought into full play.
But that's all for later.
But having said that, after a period of "virtual arena" training, Xia Xing not only improved his skills a lot, but his understanding and analysis of tactics also improved a lot, and he benefited a lot.
Just like a student who can guess the mentality of the teacher who asked the question will definitely have a greater advantage.
After the team suffered two consecutive losses in the tenth and eleventh rounds, Leicester City quickly regained its form and ushered in a wave of consecutive victories.
Especially in the last two games, they defeated Fulham from the Premier League and tyrannized their enemy Watford.
These two games have put Leicester City players in excellent condition.
On November 9, Leicester City welcomed Nottingham Forest at home.
This team is a long-standing strong team in England's history and has even won the Champions League.
But now it's all past tense.
Facing Nottingham Forest, Leicester City pressed forward across the board and attacked desperately.
However, they failed to gain anything in the first half.
Three shots to the bar, this is bad luck!!.
At the beginning of the second half, Knockaert knocked down the opponent's player while trying to grab the ball.
He was directly shown a red card!
Leicester City players surrounded the referee to protest!
In the end, they just got another yellow card.
To be fair, there is nothing wrong with giving a red card for a tackle from behind.
Shakespeare on the sidelines covered his head and shook his head helplessly: "This guy performed brilliantly in the last game And became a little too excited today..."
Despite this, Pearson still comforted Knockaert who came off the field.
In this game, he took over Vardy's starting position, but failed to score and received a red card.
This is extremely unlucky.
Now Leicester City is playing ten against eleven, and its disadvantage is immediately apparent.
Although Nottingham Forest's overall strength is not as good as Leicester City, they are very resilient.
Especially after holding on for half the game, their confidence greatly increased.
None of you scored a goal when 11 of you were on the court, and it's even less likely now!
Nottingham Forest's formation changed from 4-5-1 to 4-3-3.
The Bus formation has also become an attack formation!
Facing the onslaught of Nottingham Forest, Pearson kept the team on the defensive.
If the ball is lost at this stage, the game will be completely hopeless.
But if they keep defending, is there hope for the game?
During this period of time, Xia Xing has even become a defensive midfielder, frequently assisting in defense in the midfield and backfield.
Although his defensive ability is limited, with his excellent speed, strength and physical advantages, his stubborn defense has caused great resistance to Nottingham Forest's offense.
Shakespeare on the sidelines couldn't stop praising: "I suggest that in the future we can train Xia's defensive ability in targeted training. He is a good defensive midfielder."
Pearson shook his head: "I don't agree."
Shakespeare: "Why don't you agree, Because of his excellent offensive ability? "
Pearson: "No, it is because of his comprehensive ability."
Shakespeare: "Wow, the last time you praised a young man, may have been a century ago."
Pearson: "I praised Vardy a few months ago and said he could become a world-class striker!"
Shakespeare: "Then he fell into a scoring drought."
Pearson: "Fxxk..."
The two chatted on the sidelines, looking very relaxed, but in fact there was nothing they could do.
The opponent is 11 against 10. With such a huge advantage, what else can they do?
Unless he is given a superstar, then the score may be rewritten.
Even though they have Xia Xing, who has been in good form recently, he was surrounded by opponents in this game.
Several times Xia Xing's side breakthroughs were brutally intercepted by the opponent, and ultimately failed.
At this time, only Xia Xing can rush forward to attack and defend while coming back.
Leicester City defended desperately on the field.
The game has reached 78 minutes.
Misfortunes never come singly.
During a frontfield scramble, forward Chris Wood was tackled on his ankle by the opponent and fell to the ground.
Pearson suddenly became anxious and protested desperately to the fourth official.
"Are they planning to Tackle my forward to death?"
Looking at Pearson, whose eyes were burning, the fourth official gave up the idea of scolding him.
This time it was indeed a foul, and the referee gave a yellow card.
James, who had a good free kick in the team, took the freekick, but the ball went wide of the goal.
At this time, Vardy was already warming up on the sidelines.
Shakespeare looked at him: "Jamie."
"Coach."
"Go up and score a goal."
"I will try my best."
"It's not my best, it's a must!"
"Okay."
"I believe in you, no problem!"
At this time The free kick missed, the ball was dead, and Vardy came on as a substitute.
Running onto the court, his eyes unconsciously looked to the left.
Xia Xing was also looking at him at this time.
The two looked at each other and nodded slightly.
"Man, I told you, I'm going to pass the ball for you!"
The game continued, and Nottingham Forest was still attacking.
They didn't take Vardy, who just came on, seriously.
This guy has been scoreless for several games, and he just came here to make up the numbers.
Nottingham Forest made several passes and shots near the penalty area that posed a considerable threat.
Schmeichel caught the ball high and blocked low, trying to keep the goal.
The time came to 88 minutes.
Drinkwater stole the ball in the middle and the ball hit the left side!
Xia Xing caught the ball and turned around to pass!
This time it was extremely smooth!
Speed up and sprint!
At this stage of the game, Xia Xing can still charge forward!
Nottingham Forest was well prepared, leaning to the right in defense and guarding to the death!
But this time Xia Xing did not move forward!
His purpose has been achieved, which is to attract defense!
The defensive player was in position, and Xia Xing made a long pass straight to the frontfield
At this time, a blue lightning flew out!
"Xia's pass penetrated Nottingham Forest's defense!
" Vardy galloped out!
"He rushed between two defensive players!
"The defensive players behind him couldn't catch up at all!
"He Appeared exactly on the trajectory of the ball!
" He Takes a step with the ball and slows down a little!
"He shoots the ball , It's avolley!
" The ball goes straight into the far corner of the goal!
"The ball is in!
"1-0!
"The blue figure stands proudly at the King Power Stadium!"
