Chapter 52

 A great contest and Leicester City won resoundingly.

  After this game, knockaert once again became the focus of the media.

  "The battle of redemption!"

  "Leicester City's ace is back!"

  Countless praises came pouring in, putting Knockaert in a great mood.

  For a forward, confidence is definitely the most important thing.

  In Pearson's tactics, Knockaert's status has clearly risen.

  He has even returned to the starting lineup.

  The partnership of Knockaert and Chris Wood has become a new favorite combination in Pearson's heart.

  Knockaert, who scored a hat trick, finally regained the trust of the coach and won the love of the fans.

  His career becoming smoother all of a sudden.

  However, after all, there are only 11 positions in the starting lineup. Some people are happy and some are worried.

  During this period, Xia Xing had a fixed partner when he practiced extra every day.

  Vardy.

  It has been more than ten days, and Vardy returned home later than Xia Xing.

  They had just finished playing against Watford yesterday, and Vardy actually came to practice again today.

  This surprised Xia Xing.

  "Jamie, you came so early?"

  "Well, I'm here to train for a while. You, on the other hand, just finished playing the game yesterday, and you are so active again today. It's really amazing."

  The two sat down on the side of the court and chatted.

  Today was not a formal training, so although the two practiced extra, it was still very relaxed.

  "Xia, your performance yesterday was great. You are now the core of Leicester City's midfield attack. This is not an exaggeration.

  " You can also score goals. Scoring is not the major duty of a midfielder."

  "Well... don't compare me with you. You are good at scoring goals and atleast better than me..."

  Vardy was silent.

  Xia Xing is aware of Vardy's situation.

  Vardy has been in a scoring drought since scoring against Blackpool in the eighth round.

  Although he had two assists during the period, he did not score a goal in five league rounds, which is really embarrassing.

  Pearson attaches great importance to Vardy and continues to give him important tasks, but Vardy is still very poor in scoring goals.

  In the next game, Vardy will most likely return to the bench.

  Looking at Xia Xing beside him, Vardy always felt some unspeakable pain.

  When Xia Xing first joined the team, he was just a novice.

  He had never played in a professional league, and he had not even received professional training.

  Every time he sees Xia Xing, Vardy always feels sympathy for him.

  So he has always been very kind to Xia Xing.

  But unexpectedly, Xia Xing soared into the sky and has now become an important offensive core of Leicester City.

  As for himself, from being the core striker at the beginning of the season, he may lose his main position now.

  Thinking of this, Vardy felt extremely bitter.

  Looking at the depressed Vardy, Xia Xing patted him on the shoulder: "Man, I have a little idea about your technical problem."

  "Xia, just tell me, I'll listen."

  "Actually, you can't do anything during this time. In addition to poor luck, it is also related to the opponent's tactical arrangements.

  "Huh? What do you mean?"

  Xia Xing asked, looking at Vardy's eyes.

  "You are fast and explosive. With your strength, you can compete in the Premier League now.

  "I am not comforting you, but I am serious.

  "But in the first few games of the season, we were very balanced with our opponents and were often able to play fast breaks.

  "And you are best suited for fast breaks.

  "But because we have performed so well, we have frequently encountered opponents setting up buses recently.

  "Physique is not your strong point. It is too difficult for you to seize opportunities in the crowded penalty box.

  "You are not suitable for positional warfare. Counterattack is your way of playing.

  "So the recent goal drought is not your problem.

  "I even have a hunch that if Leicester City is promoted to the Premier League, you will definitely have a dazzling performance,"

"Definitely!"   

  "So don't be anxious, let's take it slow.

  "We can practice positional warfare together, and practice one-touch shooting and grabbing points. It should be beneficial."

  Listening to Xia Xing's words, Vardy's brows relaxed a little.

  In fact, he knew it in his heart, but he didn't want to say it to himself.

  It would seem like he was making excuses for his goal drought.

  And now, with the comfort of his teammates, Vardy felt much more relaxed.

  "Okay, then I will follow your example. Let's practice shooting and physical fitness together!"

  Watching Vardy running back to the court with high spirits, Xia Xing was filled with emotion.

  He has heard the story of Vardy from countless people.

  Not only his teammates, but also the fans are very familiar with it.

  Even Reed knows it well.

  This young man has also played in the eighth-level league in England for many years.

  It is estimated that his overall level is not much different from his previous playing level in China.

  However, he has not given up his passion for football.

  With a weekly salary of 30 euros, he could not even support himself and needed to get a job.

  His subsequent promotions are the best manifestation of his hard work.

He was scouted by Leicester City last season, who spent 1 million euros to get him.

This is also the highest value for a non-professional player in England.

In his first season, he only scored 4 goals.

  Almost everyone felt that Leicester City had lost out.

  However, Pearson and Shakespeare still encouraged this young man.

  In fact, he was not young anymore .

How can he still increase his number of goals?   

But Vardy told everyone with his actions!

  Why can't I increase the number of goals?   

At the beginning of this season, he was promoted to the main player and in the first few games . He scored goals or assists in every game.   

His performance has improved a lot compared to last season.   

Xia Xing has great confidence in him.  

 As long as he continues to play, he will definitely become a first-class star!

Despite the lack of goals, this low mood did not make him depressed.   

If he can't find the feeling of scoring, he will practice shooting!   

If he suffers from physical confrontation, he will train harder!,

It's not about talent, it's about hard work!  

 Now, He is still going all out to get what he wants!   

Vardy continuously sprinted with the ball on the field,

"pass the ball"

 Vardy heard Xia Xing's voice!   

And He passed the ball without hesitation!

  Xia Xing sprinted quickly and received the ball steadily!   

Vardy also kept his feet on the ground and rushed towards the goal!   

In the past, Vardy would dribble the ball while sprinting, but now, he must improve his ability to shoot the ball one time!  

 Xia Xing made two directional changes on the wing!   

It seemed like there was a defensive player in front of him!   

He made a sudden stop and when he reached the edge of the penalty area !   

He made a low pass!   

Vardy stepped in from the back and pushed the ball straight into the goal!   Wonderful coordination!  

 Vardy punched hard and let out a sigh of relief.

 "Xia! Your delivery is so beautiful! "   said vardy turning his head to look at the wing and applaud Xia Xing!   

Xia Xing also looked at Vardy with a smile.

  "Jamie!  

 "Don't worry, I will pass the ball well to you!   

" And Help you score goals! "
