Chapter 158

  In the King Power Stadium, the blue sea of ​​celebration continues.

Leicester City fans enjoy the victory.

This feeling is so wonderful.

Even they themselves felt lucky when they won the FA Cup last season.

Because Manchester United was in bad form last season.

But look now, we beat Manchester United with a real shot!

And we won five games in a row!

Not five consecutive wins in the English Championship, but five consecutive wins in the Premier League!

It's perfect!

Xia Xing was surrounded by his teammates and enjoyed the joy of victory.

This feels great!

What a great experience!

The Leicester City soldiers walked towards the die-hard fans' stand, preparing to circle the field to thank the fans.

Now they have become more and more accustomed to celebrating victories with fans.

Xia Xing had just taken two steps when he saw someone on the court looking at him.

It's Rooney.

He walked over politely.

"Wayne."

"Xia."

The two had some friendship at Manchester United and even had a meal together at Sir Alex Ferguson's house.

Looking at Xia Xing in front of him, Rooney was filled with emotion.

"I can still think of the first time I saw you."

"It was in the summer of 2013, at the Manchester United youth academy."

"Yes, at that time several of our first team members went to the youth team to play a friendly match with you."

"I was pretty bad at that time."

"It's not particularly bad. After all, your technique is excellent and your speed is great. It's just that your body and football IQ were too weak."

"Well, yes."

"I felt sorry for you at the time. If you could have received an orthodox European football education earlier, you might have become a great talent."

"I felt sorry too."

"But looking at you now, I feel that I really made a mistake. You have made rapid progress, far beyond my imagination. I expected you to achieve what you have now, but I thougt it will take you at least five or six years."

Xia Xing smiled.

That's right.

In the system, he really played for several more years.

And also with many superstars.

The two shook hands in a friendly manner and exchanged jerseys.

Rooney whispered before turning to leave.

"Xia, I wish you all the best."

"Thanks, you too, Wayne."

"But I still hope that one day you can return to Manchester United. I will wait for you."

Looking at Rooney's leaving figure, Xia Xing let out a breath.

Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

At least now he has no intention of leaving.

Let's wait until I help Leicester City win a few more championships.

Walking down the court, Van Gaal looked unhappy.

The two consecutive victories he was looking forward to were gone, and of course he was in a bad mood.

Rooney didn't even say hello to him.

Originally, the relationship between the two was not very good.

When passing Giggs, Rooney shook hands with the former Manchester United captain in a friendly manner.

"Wayne, you worked hard in this game."

"We really lack a good midfield passer and a strong enough defensive midfielder."

"How about I bring Beckham and Roy Keane back?"

"Forget it, it's safer to consider poaching people."

Rooney curled his lips and looked in the direction of the pitch again.

"It would be great if xia was still at Manchester United..."

Giggs didn't say anything, and looked at Xia Xing on the side of the pitch

At this moment, he is receiving the worship of Blue Fox fans.

Although I can't bear to leave him, I am happy for him when I see him living happily here.

I wish you a bright future, goodbye!

After winning against Manchester United, Leicester City continued their winning streak in the Premier League.

Their five-game winning streak puts them firmly at the top of the standings.

But Pearson still didn't dare to relax.

Because the continuous matches during this period was too fierce.

Now Leicester City wins games with basically all the main lineup.

Compared with the starting players, the strength of the substitute players is much lower.

Every time there is a slight rotation, there will be ups and downs in performance.

It's just that the league has just begun, and the players are in good condition and in good physical condition.

If they continue to play, the players' physical fitness will definitely face a big test.

Also, if there is an unexpected injury, it will be even more troublesome.

After defeating Manchester United on September 21, Leicester City quickly took a rest.

Because three days later, they will play away from home and face their opponent Norwich in the third round of the EFL Cup.

Although this opponent is only a British Championship team, Leicester City must rotate extensively in order to have more stamina to cope with the double matches in the next few weeks.

On the evening of September 24, Leicester City played against Norwich City at the Carrow Road Stadium near the Wensome River.

Although this opponent is a British Championship team, they are very difficult to deal with.

They were still competing in the Premier League last season, but ended up ranking 18th and were relegated.

They have performed well in the Championship this season and are currently ranked third in the Championship.

If this momentum can be maintained, there is a high possibility of returning to the Premier League next season.

You know this is not an easy thing.

After many Premier League teams are relegated, they will lose a large number of outstanding players. In the end, they will not even be able to survive in the English Championship and continue to be relegated.

It is too difficult to return to the Premier League.

This situation is common.

But it doesn't look like that's going to happen to Norwich.

Today they deployed a familiar 4-4-2 formation.

As a team accustomed to traditional English football, high balls and long passes are their characteristics.

Leicester City advocates the British long pass and fast attack.

These two teams, one is a relegated Premier League team and the other is a newly promoted Premier League team, this game is interesting.

Leicester City sent out most of their substitute players today.

Upson, Moore, Wasilevskiy, Andy King, James, Powell, Nugent, Knockaert....

Except for Schmeichel, Morgan and Xia Xing, all other positions are substitute players.

Facing the strong Norwich City, the two sides started a fight.

Norwich has a tough style of play, and Leicester City also has a tough style of play.

The two sides started with continuous fierce attacks and collisions in the midfield, and sparks shot out.

Today, Leicester City's midfield four is Andy King, James, Powell, and Xia Xing.

The first three players all play strong offensive and weaker defensive roles, so Xia Xing naturally takes on the organizational and defensive tasks.

This is also Pearson's arrangement.

After all, in such a lineup, he would not be at ease if a substitute midfielder like Hammond was used.

In this game, Xia Xing also defended steadily in the back.

Several long-pass attacks by the opponent were destroyed by Xia Xing in the midfield.

Norwich's long pass was to no avail, so they simply moved forward further and further, without even moving to the midfield to cooperate, and sent the ball directly to the front line.

However, with captain Morgan holding down the line, it was even more difficult for Norwich to score.

And Upson, the 35-year-old performed very solidly today.

If it is a speed forward, it will be more troublesome for him to deal with, but if it is a purely physical striker, he will have no problem.

After withstanding Norwich's opening attack, Leicester City's goal came quickly...
