Chapter 88

  Xia Xing's shot not only broke Manchester City's goal, but also broke the hearts of Manchester City fans.

  Listening to the deafening carnival at the King Power Stadium, Manchester City fans watching the game away from home were in a very bad mood.

  Why is it like this again!

  Last time against Leicester City, they thought they had a sure win at 3-0, but the opponent scored two goals in a row!

  And they almost got equalized before the end of the game!

  Now they attacked for a long time but couldn't score, but the opponent counterattacked and scored them!

  What's going on?

What the fuxk are these players doing!

  For fans, they can even tolerate the team's loss of goals and falling behind, but they can never tolerate the team's careless attitude!

  The away fans booed in the stands!

  Manchester City played too badly in this game!

  Looking at the excitedly celebrating Leicester City players, their ears were full of boos from fans.

  Manchester City players were in a very bad mood.

  But, what can they do?

  For these players, a FA Cup game is really not worth fighting for.

  Especially when facing a team that is charging like a wild bull, it is even more impossible to fight hard with the opponent.

  Fans, you have to understand us.

  We are not a low-level league team like Leicester City that has no pursuit and only wants to win an FA Cup.

  We are the great Manchester City that wants to win the Premier League and the Champions League!

  Now it has passed the 80th minute of the game. Manchester City is trying hard to get the chance to equalize, but it does seem to be that hard.

  As long as the Leicester City players rush forward fiercely, the Manchester City players will retreat.

  Most of them are like this.

  Except for Yaya Toure, Kompany and other players who are still fighting hard.

  Dzeko on the front line was squeezed away by the strong Morgan again and lost the chance to head the ball.

  It was not until injury time that Dzeko used his personal skills to force a shot.

  But under the interference of two defensive players, the ball slipped out of the goal, missing a good chance to equalize.

  After a minute of passing the ball back and forth in the middle and backcourt of Leicester City, the referee whistled.

  "The game is over!

  "At the King Power Stadium, we once again witnessed the creation of a miracle!

  "Leicester City relied on their tenacious fighting spirit,

  "Winning the powerful Manchester City at home!

  "This is a game between the top of the English Championship and the top of the Premier League!

  "Leicester City had the last laugh!

  "Some people may say that Manchester City did not send out the absolute main force in this game,

  "and was reserved in the tactical arrangement,

  "but losing is losing!

  "Why are there so many excuses?

  "The fighting spirit of the Leicester City players in this game is the best embodiment of the passion for football!

  "Let us congratulate Leicester City again!

  "The FA Cup journey continues!

  "Will they bring us more miracles this season?

  "Let's wait and see!"

  At the King Power Stadium, Pellegrini shook hands with Pearson expressionlessly and turned away without saying a word.

  At the edge of the pitch, he looked at the field again.

  The blue No. 17 figure seemed particularly dazzling.

  In the quarter-finals of the English League Cup a few months ago, it was his one assist and one goal that almost overturned them.

  Now he has completely defeated them this time

  His full defense throughout the game once made everyone think that he was a defensive midfielder.

  As a result, the final pass, positioning, and a fatal strike showed his offensive talent.

  This kid will most likely return to Manchester United next season, and there will be another tough opponent in the derby...

  But, Xia Xing is exchanging jerseys with Manchester City players.

  This time it is not Manchester City's starter, but substitute player David Silva.   

  As the core of Manchester City's midfield, Silva has an extraordinary status in the Blue Moon team and plays a huge role.

  However, even if Manchester City fell behind in the score, Pellegrini did not arrange for Silva to play.

  In Pellegrini's heart, he thought the same as the players, this game is not that important.

  Even if you win the FA Cup, what can you do?

  You still can't prove yourself perfectly.

  Only the Premier League and the Champions League are the right way, and the others are appetizers.

  So Silva sat on the bench today, just to calm the scene and put some pressure on the players on the field.

  But in the end, the effect was not good, and he could only watch his teammates lose.

  But even so, Silva did not gain nothing today.

  He witnessed a rising star with his own eyes.

  "Xia, I want to exchange jerseys with you."

  Xia Xing turned his head and saw Silva talking to him cordially.

  Xia Xing also took off his jersey and handed it over: "Hello Silva, it's a pity that I didn't get to play against a top star like you this season."

  "Oh? You think I'm a top star?"

  "Although I don't want to call a Manchester City player that, it's true."

  "Haha, interesting. You have good skills and first-class physical fitness, and most importantly, strong mental strength. You will be my future opponent. Before you put on the Manchester United jersey, I will exchange with you once. When we meet again next season, it will definitely not be so peaceful."

  "I'm also looking forward to playing against you next season!"

  "Chinese boy, see you in the Premier League!"

  Yaya Toure next to him came up and complained as he walked off the field with Xia Xing's No. 17 jersey.

  "Why are you trying to snatch it from me? I wanted to exchange jerseys with that guy."

  "Oh? You think he's good too?"

  "Yeah, he has first-rate skills, excellent stamina, and is also very good at physical confrontation. Even compared to me, he doesn't have much of a disadvantage. This kid has a bright future."

  "Do you think he will be a main player for Manchester United next season?"

  "It's hard to say. It depends on who the head coach of Manchester United is next season."

  "That's true. They are still in a turbulent period. Even the top stars in the team can't protect themselves. Haha."

  "It's really boring to lose a strong opponent, but I like it, hahahaha!"

  Although they lost the game, Manchester City players were not too depressed.

  After all, they are now at the top of the Premier League and are ready to go in the Champions League.

  The small FA Cup is indeed not taken too seriously.

  Leicester City beat Manchester City, and Pearson gave the players two days off again.

  The players fought hard in this game, and Pearson was very satisfied.

  The final result of 1-0 was also perfect.

  In the next few league games, Leicester City will rotate more players to allow the players to rest as much as possible.

  In the next 31st, 32nd and 33rd rounds of the English Championship, Leicester City's opponents are Nottingham Forest, Ipswich and Charlton. Leicester

  City continued to win in three games.

  They scored 8 goals and conceded 2 goals in three games.

  Several substitute forwards performed well.

  Now they are 18 points ahead of the second place Burnley.

  With such a difference, the English Championship champion is inevitable.

  But for Pearson, he has a bigger goal...
