Chapter 134
Carragher's face turned red and blue.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something in retort, but no words came out.
What?
Continue to disparage Leicester City?
Didn't you listen to what your just partner said?
"Leicester City players told everyone with their wonderful performance that they deserve to play in the Premier League."
Isn't this sentence meant for him?
Alan Shearer: "I think someone said, 'I think they have to prove they deserve to play in the Premier League first'?"
Carragher: "…"
Alan Shearer: "Hahahaha!"
Seeing Carragher's frustrated look, Alan Shearer felt much better!
At this time, the referee blew the whistle and the first half of the game ended.
With a two-goal lead, Leicester City players returned to the locker room.
This result is very good. The first half went better than Pearson even imagined.
He thought the team might take the lead, but he didn't expect to score two goals in a row.
really not bad.
And the biggest contributor was naturally Xia Xing.
One assist and one goal, a stroke of genius.
The first goal was a complete reflection of Xia Xing's personal skills.
The second goal was the result of the tacit cooperation between Xia Xing and Vardy.
It was a great decision to bring Xia back this summer.
With the score leading, Pearson's tactical thinking became more certain.
Keep defending!
Defensive counterattack!
He let Ulloa retreat to the nine-and-a-half position and increase his running distance to assist in defense.
As a forward with excellent defense, Ulloa has very distinctive characteristics.
He can not only serve as a bridgehead for attack, but also be the starting point for counter press after losing the ball.
Maybe his shooting skills are not as good as Vardy's, but his tactical role is obvious.
In the second half, Leicester City continued to fight back.
TakOMG their time, to wait for Everton to press forward.
Naturally, Everton will not sit idly by.
The midfield and frontfield pressed forward significantly, and the two full-backs also moved forward.
They would rather take the risk of losing the ball than sit back.
In the 67th minute of the game, Everton finally scored a goal.
Veteran Barry got the ball in the middle and passed it to Stones on the right.
The two tried their best to avoid Xia Xing's defense and look for a good opportunity.
Finally, Stones found his chance! He
accelerated suddenly!
He rushed past the left-back De Laet's defense!
He made a low cross!
Lukaku poked the ball in the penalty area!
The ball went into the net!
2 to 1!
Everton scored a goal!
Everton's momentum is back!
Lukaku rushed into the net and ran back with the ball.
The visiting team fans in the stands also cheered wildly, cheering for their team.
Pearson frowned on the sidelines.
His substitution was a step too slow.
A Striker of Lukaku's level is really difficult to deal with.
He is tall, strong and fast.
He's really like a bug.
After conceding the goal, Pearson immediately replaced Konchesky with Moore and changed captain Morgan to mark Lukaku.
Moore can play on the wing or in the middle, is fast and flexible, and is perfect for cooperating with Morgan in defending Lukaku.
After Moore came on the pitch, he did impose much greater restrictions on Lukaku.
Several times when Lukaku received the ball, Moore would perform zone defense to assist Morgan.
The two wingers, Naismith and McGeady, have the full-backs as their main defenders and the midfielders as the assisting defenders.
In this way, Leicester City's defense became more solid.
Looking at the good changes, Xia Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he had this thought just now.
Pearson is a good coach, but he still lacks experience in top-level competitions, and his on-the-spot command is worse than that of top coaches.
But for a small team like Leicester City, Pearson is already a great coach.
Although the substitution and adjustment was a little late, it was not particularly late.
At least it restricted Lukaku's attack, which is an obvious effect.
Everton also began to adjust its formation, especially in the midfield and front, replacing three players in succession.
The formation also changed to 3-3-4.
Facing the opponent's fierce attack, Xia Xing has completely evolved into a defensive midfielder during this period.
Cambiasso was substituted due to his declining physical condition and Hammond came on as a substitute.
Ulloa was also replaced by Schlupp.
Leicester City also changed to 4-5-1.
Although the number of attackers has decreased, the effectiveness of the counterattack has not decreased at all.
In the 86th minute of the game, just after Everton's attack was punched out by Schmeichel, Leicester City counterattacked again!
The ball fell to the feet of Xia Xing who was retreating. Xia Xing suddenly accelerated in the middle!
Just one action attracted the attention of six Everton players!
In an instant, Xia Xing was surrounded by a hexagon!
Now all the Everton players know how powerful Xia Xing is!
They must not let this guy rush forward!
This guy has great skills!
And he can't even be given a chance to pass the ball to Vardy!
This guy's pass is so accurate!
However, Xia Xing did not do as they expected.
He controlled the ball in place, waiting for his teammates to run.
Then he suddenly made a long pass!
The ball flew over the heads of two defenders and headed straight to the right!
Looking for Mahrez!
Mahrez had already shot out!
Without stopping the ball, just kicking it far away!
Sprinting at the same time as the defenders around him!
Mahrez wins!
Rushing into the penalty area from the right side!
Vardy pulls the defense line to the far end!
Mahrez cuts in and shoots directly!
"The ball goes in!
"A wonderful curve ball!
"Straight to the far corner!
"Goalkeeper Howard is powerless to stop it!"
"3 to 1!
"At the crucial moment, Leicester City scored a goal to expand the lead!
"Mahrez was fantastic!
"No, it should be said that Leicester City is amazing!
"This goal is the result of a wonderful performance by all Leicester City players!
"Solid pressing from the back!
"Xia's pass!
"Vardy pulls the defense line!
"In the end, Mahrez made the fatal strike!
"This goal was enough for them to win the game!
"3 to 1!
"It's stable!"
Alan Shearer clapped loudly and cheered for Leicester City's wonderful performance.
At this time, the King Power Stadium also turned into a sea of joy!
"Riyad!"
"Riyad!"
"Riyad!"
Countless fans shouted Mahrez's name!
At this time, many fans shouted Xia Xing's name!
"Xia"
"Xia"
In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer watched the replay of the goal and was still amazed.
However, what he admired was not Mahrez's shot, but Xia Xing's assist!
"If we talk about the credit,
"I think Mahrez, who just scored, accounts for 40 percent.
"Vardy, who pulled space, accounts for 20%
"And xia's long passes accounts for 40%!
"Take a look at the video playback!
"Xia alone attracted the attention of six Everton defensive players,
"which created a unique opportunity for the offensive players!
"In this game, he made two assists and one goal, participating in all three goals!
"He is the hero of Leicester City in this game!
"Let me introduce this young man again!
"Xia!
"From China!
"With a British nationality!"
"Leicester City midfielder!
"19 years old!
"Genius supernova!"
