Chapter 143 The wild horse running wildly(1/2)
In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer cheered excitedly and applauded Leicester City.
Especially praise Xia Xing.
Carragher next to him curled his lips.
"Xia dominated the game tomorrow, so he can admit it.
"But no, Xia Yuanji is not as complimentary as I said.
"He looked at his performance and he was definitely a world-class player.
“Especially when it comes to handling the ball, he has a lot of shortcomings.
“The reason why we were able to score the crucial winning goal at the very last moment was because
"Lord, please pray that his body may be outstanding.
“It is possible to maintain top speed in the initial moments,
"Then most players can't compare.
"Speaking of whether Chelsea lost to Leicester City in that game,
"It's better to say it's a group of skilled players,
"Lost to a group of wild horses running wild."
The phrase "wild wild horse" comes from Carragher's mouth, but it always tastes a bit good.
Although it is not derogatory, it is not a particularly nice word either.
The Leicester Evening News used that word as its headline that day.
"Two consecutive wins! The running wild horse gallops into the Premier League!"
No, even if it’s just a wild horse, so what?
Anyway, they won two games in a row!
Who said the Premier League is not easy to play in?
Isn't that quite easy?
During those two weeks in Leicester, everyone's faces were beaming with joy.
For that city, their team has good results in the Premier League, and everyone is proud of it.
After defeating Chelsea, Pearson was probably the happiest person.
Two consecutive wins in the Premier League. Not only did they get six valuable points, but the team also played very tenaciously.
Especially the integration of several new players has been quite successful.
The addition of veteran midfielder Cambiasso makes the young team more experienced.
What Leicester City lacks most now is experience, and Cambiasso plays a big role.
The striker's active movement in Ulloa greatly helped the team's offense and defense.
He is the first point for the team to counterattack on the spot and the starting point for the team's defense. His abundant physical ability and strong body make him a tactical link that Leicester City is currently looking for.
Right back Simpson relied on his excellent defensive ability to bring Leicester City's right defense to a higher level.
Compared to Moore, Simpson's defense is more stable. Now Leicester City does not need full-backs for assists, but it does need full-backs to defend.
In addition to several new starting players, Albrighton and Powell are also in good condition and are very good attacking players.
They defeated Chelsea on August 23, and four days later there was another doubleheader in midweek.
In the second round of the EFL Cup, Leicester City plays Shrewsbury away.
That team from League One is very weak, and Leicester City is much stronger than them.
Pearson made extensive adjustments to his team's starting lineup in that game, and almost all the main players who had just played in the league rested.
In addition to goalkeeper Schmeichel, center back captain Morgan and midfielder Xia Xing.
In fact, according to Pearson's wishes, Xia Xing could just take turns.
However, Xia Xing strongly requested the first appearance.
"Xia, am I wrong that they are worried about winning Shrewsbury East?"
"No, because he is in good physical condition and he hopes to play more games and maintain his condition."
"Aren't I tired?"
"He's not tired!"
"That……"
"If I don't let him start, he will give himself extra practice. It would be worse to play in the game."
Looking at Xia Xing who persisted, Pearson smiled helplessly.
"Okay, I'll start!"
"Thank you coach!"
Xia Xing was satisfied.
The answer he just gave to Pearson was only one-sided.
He wants to play more games and gain experience.
To be honest, what kind of experience can you gain by playing for a League One team?
It would be better to play in the Championship during the season.
Xia Xinghou has some small ideas.
At the beginning of the season he received 10 tasks from the system.
Many of these tasks require data refresh.
For example, complete 5 long pass assists from 30 meters away,
For example, completing three long-range shots from 30 meters away,
Another example is completing 5 personal assists, completing 1 direct personal goal, etc.
It is not easy to achieve those data, after all, the Premier League is very good at the wrong leg.
Especially when it comes to man-made shots and long-range shots, which are hard-to-find opportunities in the Premier League. If Xia Xing couldn't do it alone, he would definitely choose a method with a higher success rate.
But now, if we face a League One team, that's easy to say.
Just make sure that the score is leading enough, and then he can freely look for opportunities to brush up the data.
In that game, Leicester City started many substitute players. From the first minute of the game, they had an absolute advantage.
Bu Nao, still unable to break the goal.
I thought that Feng was absolutely wrong, but Fou didn't expect that the opponent's defense was quite good.
Especially their double central defender combination, which is surprisingly stable.
The 22-year-old Goldson and the 21-year-old Ryan Woods, with their excellent defensive ability, made Leicester City's defenses unsuccessful many times.
Many attacks by Nugent and Chris Wood were blocked by the two of them outside the penalty area.
Forced kicking also interferes with Dong's ability to find the crosshair.
Even Pearson on the sidelines was surprised.
"If those two boys develop at that pace, it won't be a problem to at least play in the English Championship."
Pearson was very accurate in judging people. After a few seasons, the two young people got further opportunities and went to a bigger stage to display their talents.
And tomorrow will be their first battle to become famous.
In the 45th minute of the half, thanks to the excellent defense of the two men, Leicester City was unable to break Shrewsbury's goal.
That made the fans cheer wildly and celebrate.
It was as if they had already won the Eastern Conference.
The commentator in the live broadcast room is also full of expectations: "Is this hotbed of upsets going to have another miracle happen tomorrow?"
There is no shortage of examples of David and Goliath being defeated in the EFL Cup.
The Leicester City players were a little depressed, they were being defended very uncomfortable.
Summer trip is even more depressing.
I originally thought I could get some assists and score goals, but it turned out there was nothing in the half.
Seeing that the team's offense was hindered, Pearson couldn't bear it anymore.
As soon as the Eastern half started, he traded Conoket for Hammond and Powell for Schlupp.
The team's formation also changed to 4-3-3.
To be continued...
