Chapter 36
This game is Xia Xing's first start in the Championship, and he cherishes it very much.
He changed his past style of play and sought more cooperation with his teammates on the court.
Especially when De Laet behind him had a strong desire to attack, Xia Xing was willing to give him the left wing and play the ball for him
Now the Leicester City leads 1-0, and the two sides are still fighting in the midfield.
De Laet's physical energy consumption is relatively large and he can no longer sprint up and down.
Xia Xing thought to himself, it's my turn to rush forward.
Just as he was thinking about it, the ball bounced over from midfield.
The midfield position is empty!
What a good opportunity!
Just when Xia Xing stopped the ball and was about to speed up, a black shadow suddenly rushed towards him from a diagonal Position!
With Xia Xing's reaction, he could completely get out of the way.
But if he gets out of the way, the ball under his feet will be out of control.
If it causes the opponent to counterattack and score a goal, it will be troublesome.
His brain made a decision in a split second!
Fuck it!
Fuck him!
Xia Xing controlled the ball at his feet, leaned down slightly, stabilized his center of gravity, and then turned slightly sideways.
Just a sideways movement prevents the opponent from fully using his strength on himself.
Then, hit him!
The moment Perch rushed forward, Xia Xing also exerted force!
The two collided violently!
At this time, there was chaos in the middle of the pitch, with both sides fighting for the ball!
The collision between the two became the brightest focus of the stadium!
"It's over!"
Shakespeare on the sidelines closed his eyes!
Pearson's eyes widened and he looked at Xia Xing worriedly.
Even his Leicester City teammates were prepared for Xia Xing to be knocked away.
Although he has become much stronger recently, his foundation is still not good enough. He will probably fly out this time...
Bang! ! !
Fly out!
But it's not Xia Xing, it's Perch!
The strong Perch was directly knocked four to five meters away!
With one flying movement, he rolled and fell to the ground!
Xia Xing, on the other hand, took two steps back, but still stood firm!
What kind of strength is this!
Drinkwater around him was shocked!
Even if it were him, he definitely wouldn't be able to get an advantage in this collision. This xia actually knocked the opponent away?
And the Wigan Athletic players are even more shocked!
One of the strongest players on their team was defeated miserably in a legitimate collision!
And at the moment when the whole audience was in an uproar, Xia Xing started!
Knocking the opponent away is not the purpose!
He needs to score goals and secure the victory!
Sprint forward with the ball!
Perch's fall caused chaos in the Wigan Athletic midfield.
Xia Xing took advantage of this opportunity and dribbled the ball past the midfield line!
The last central defender, Rogner, rushed up to steal the ball. Xia Xing changed his direction slightly and neatly got past him!
Entering the Penalty area!
"I just showed you the power of a 10-point enhancement, and now I want you to see the effects of a 10-point enhancement of shooting!"
Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he raised his foot and shot!
The ball was extremely fast and went straight into the far corner of the goal!

On the sidelines of the court, Pearson also breathed a sigh of relief.
Shakespeare gave him a thumbs-up: "You are still very good".
Pearson: "What am I so good at? "
"Shakespeare: "The starting lineup you chose is great. "
Pearson: "Don't talk nonsense..."
Shakespeare: "A young man you liked just started his first game and played a decisive role. no wonder, you are the head coach and I can only be the assistant coach."
