Looking at the Leicester City midfielder who had exchanged positions on the opposite side, Fabregas narrowed his eyes.
It's that kid.
hehe.
You finally came.
I watched your last game and you did pretty well.
But compared to me, your still far behind.
Now let me teach you how to play as a world-class midfielder!
Mahrez's shot was punched out by Courtois, and Terry stopped the ball and passed it to Fabregas in front of him.
He controlled the ball and led it forward smoothly!
At this time, Xia Xing was already in place!
Fabregas pulled the ball sideways to create space!
Xia Xing followed closely!
Pass it straight out?
No, that won't work!
Fabregas knows that.
If you want to create a good opportunity, it's best to pass the ball with a long kick!
His brain is working quickly and the feet are moving non-stop.
Stop the ball, gently pull it to the left, and suddenly quickly lead it to the right!
The angle is open!
Diego Costa is already in place!
Long pass to the right!
As long as he finds his teammates, it's a good opportunity!
Just when Fabregas was filled with joy, the ball suddenly bounced out of the baseline!
It was Xia Xing!
When Fabregas had already dodged and created space and was ready to pass the ball, Xia Xing quickly kicked out and
blocked the passing route!
The ball went out of bounds!
Chelsea's attacking opportunity was ruined!
Fabregas frowned again.
This guy's reaction speed is so fast?
I had clearly dodged him and saw his center of gravity shift, but he still blocked the pass.
Boy, you are really lucky.
Chelsea reorganized their attack, Leicester City successfully defended and Chelsea finally forced a shot into the stands.
Leicester City counterattacked again, this time with a connection between Drinkwater and Vardy on the left.
Vardy quickly moved forward and shot from a small angle, but goalkeeper Courtois blocked the ball again.
The talented Belgian goalkeeper who returned to Chelsea on loan from Atletico Madrid this season has relegated Cech to the bench.
He has a very fast close down speed and is very good at saving close-range shots.
This is his advantage over Cech.
Even though he is not as experienced as the Czech goalkeeper, Mourinho still supports Chelsea's future.
Leicester City has limited manpower available for attack, and it is too difficult for one person to defeat Courtois alone.
The Foxes' attack was once again unsuccessful.
The ball returned to the feet of Chelsea players again.
After three passes, Fabregas received the ball.
As soon as he turned sideways, he saw Xia Xing approaching.
This time Fabregas reacted quickly, took the ball, accelerated, and sprinted diagonally!
Although Fabregas' absolute speed is not an advantage, his short-distance explosiveness is still very good.
Moreover, in this position, the attacker must have more reaction time than the defender!
But this time Fabregas was still wrong!
Fabregas dribbled the ball diagonally, bypassing Xia Xing's defense!
Even though Xia Xing had less reaction time, he was still able to make the most effective defensive move! He made a clean tackle!
He shoveled the ball out before Fabregas received it!
Chelsea's attack was interrupted again!
The ball fell to Mahrez's feet, and Mahrez sprinted with the ball!
He used his speed to pass Azpilicueta!
Facing Matic's defense, he made a lateral move to create an angle!
The third time he volleyed from the penalty area line!
Courtois leaps into the air and punches out with both fists!
Another great Stop!
Mahrez shook his head repeatedly, full of regret.
Even Carragher in the live broadcast room exclaimed in praise.
"Mahrez's shot was of high quality.
"But Courtois' saves were world class.
"Chelsea have a top-notch goalkeeper and defenders in this game.
"It was too difficult for Leicester City players to score against them.
"Mahrez's so-called sharp attack
is only at the level of the English Championship."
Alan Shearer disagrees.
"Mahrez's few dribbling runs just now were very threatening.
"He is definitely at the top level in the Premier League.
"I am very optimistic about his development.
"It's just that he met a phenomenal goalkeeper like Courtois.
"And the absolute chances Leicester created were no less than Chelsea's.
"Xia's defensive tackle just now,
"It's very beautiful.
"It was the second time he had successfully defended Fabregas.
"It will be difficult for Chelsea to score against Leicester City in this game."
Alan Shearer is right, it is true.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Fabregas received the ball again.
This time it was Chelsea's quick counterattack, and Fabregas simply rushed forward to assist.
Xia Xing had just participated in Leicester City's attack and was quite far away from him.
Fabregas got the chance to move forward.
But soon, Xia Xing caught up from behind!
"Xia caught up with Fabregas with the ball!
"Although his Premier League experience is not as good as his opponent, his speed is several levels faster than Fabregas!
"Fabregas is thrown off his feet again!
"Continuous fake moves failed to fool Xia!
"Forced pass!
" Xia blocked the best route again!
"The ball was intercepted by Drinkwater first!
"Leicester City once again disrupted Chelsea's fast break!
"Continuous destruction of the ball, Xia's defense against Fabregas during this period was quite successful!
"Chelsea is in trouble!"
Alan Shearer was right, Chelsea were in trouble.
To be precise, Fabregas is in big trouble.
Before this game, Fabregas watched Xia Xing's game highlights.
Sharp wing breakthroughs, accurate shooting, and strong physical fitness.
This is Fabregas's deep impression of the Xia xing .
But he didn't expect that Xia Xing's defensive ability was so strong?
In fact, his one-on-one steals were not superb, just good.
But with his excellent speed, explosive power and strength, this guy is really tough to deal with!
At this moment, Xia Xing faced Fabregas without any fear.
The tackle just now was clean and quick, without any delay.
Even if the opponent is a former Premier League midfield genius and king.
Even if the opponent is the main force of the World Cup champion and two-time European Cup champion.
Even if the opponent is a world-class midfield metronome.
But so what?
Metronome? I will just smash the metronome!
Xia Xing simply gave up attacking during this period and followed Fabregas wholeheartedly!
His purpose was simple, to completely break the bearings of the Chelsea machine!
In the 43rd minute of the game, Fabregas received the ball again, and Xia Xing pressed the ball again!
Facing Xia Xing's defense, Fabregas forced a pass and the ball flew to Hazard on the left!
But it was intercepted by the experienced Cambiasso halfway!
Fabregas' long pass failed!
Cambiasso intercepted the ball and passed it diagonally to Mahrez!
Mahrez launches a counterattack again!
However, this time he did not choose to do it alone, but passed it to Xia Xing who was not far away!
Then he sprinted quickly!
Vardy and Ulloa were also accelerating!
Leicester City's counterattack baton was now in Xia Xing's hands!
