Chapter 139

He was influenced by Xia Xing for the Nth time and missed the opportunity to effectively counterattack.

Fabregas stomped his feet in anger.

But at this moment he had no time to feel upset, because Leicester City's counterattack came!

And the ball just happened to be passed to Xia Xing's feet!

Fabregas, who was running back quickly, suddenly slowed down and ran straight towards Xia Xing!

Boy, even if you restrict my performance, what can I do?

I won't let you get away with it easily!

But his thoughts were too simple.

It would be very difficult for him to get past Xia Xing.

It is also not easy to pass a threatening ball under Xia Xing's interference.

The two of us have equal offensive and defensive strength he thought.

However, it was extremely difficult for him to defend Xia Xing!

When the ball reached his feet, Xia Xing made a fake move to the left, which almost made Fabregas lose his position!

When he looked back, he realized that the ball was still there!

Xia Xing's control over the ball far exceeds his!

Then Xia Xing pulled the ball while observing the movements around him, and Fabregas had no chance to touch the ball.

Xia then suddenly accelerated with the ball!

This time Xia Xing didn't use any feints, and sprinted directly along the left side!

Fabregas kicked towards the ball, but it was still a beat slower!

"Xia passed Fabregas!

"A wonderful dribble!

"He drops a diagonal pass into the penalty area!

"Vardy shoots!

"Terry fell to the ground and made a defensive tackle!

"The ball bounced out of the baseline!

"Chelsea held on tenaciously!

"Even so, in the confrontation between xia and fabregas, xia won completely!

"Fabregas can't break through Xia's defense,

"but Xia can easily pass Fabregas!

"This is the confrontation between talented midfielders!

"The result is obvious-

"Xia wins!"

In response to Xia Xing's outstanding performance, Alan Shearer did not hesitate to praise him.

As a loyal servant who deeply loves Newcastle, what he hates most is villains like Fabregas.

You have to know that when Alan Shearer was at his most popular, countless wealthy clubs were scrambling to buy him.

In the end, he fought for his beloved Newcastle all his life.

You can transfer, but you can't leave in such a shameless way.

The last attack of the first half ended and the referee blew the whistle.

Neither team scored a goal.

This result is good for Leicester City.

At Stamford Bridge, even if they leave with one point, it would be good.

What's more, the game was quite even with the opponent in the first half.

But Mourinho was unhappy.

At the edge of the pitch, he stopped Fabregas who was about to return to the locker room.

"wait."

"Um coach, what are you waiting for?"

"Wait until everyone returns to the locker room."

"Then what?"

"And then no one will hear me scolding you!"

Fabregas lowered his head: "Coach, I know I didn't perform well in the first half..."

"Bullshit! You're talking bullshit!"

Mourinho gave him no face at all.

"It's not a question of whether you perform well or not, it's what are you doing?

"Competing with xia, is this what you should do?

"Do you think you are the best and you won't be satisfied until you win?"

"You heard Wenger praised him, do you feel unbalanced?"

"Even when they wanted to buy him in the summer window, they didn't let you go back. Are you unhappy?

"Let me tell you, let alone Arsenal, even Chelsea made an offer in the summer window!

"I like that kid Xia!"

"He is good at both offense and defense, has excellent physical fitness and mental strength!

"He is a good seedling!

"I like him!

"But in the end, we paid more than 30 million to buy you, not him! "

"You have to have confidence in yourself!

"Not the confidence to beat him, but the confidence to lead the team to victory!

"Is it fun for you to compete with him?

"If you can't gain the upper hand temporarily,

"Then hold him back!

"Then pass the ball to your teammates,

"Help your teammates create opportunities!

"This will also be of great help to the team!"

"On the field, if the team wins, you win!"

"Otherwise, even if you win, you may lose in the end!"

Mourinho's words seem very philosophical and obscure.

But Fabregas understood.

How could a super genius not understand?

He raised his head again and looked at Mourinho, his eyes filled with determination.

"Thank you, coach. I now understand my own path."

Mourinho patted his shoulder with satisfaction, said nothing more, and walked towards the locker room with his beloved player in his arms.

In the Leicester City locker room, Pearson was also telling the players the details of the first half.

Many players are in it, but they tend to overlook many things.

Pearson and Shakespeare are more careful about this.

"Vardy, Terry marked you very closely in the first half.

"In the second half you can try to go out wide and draw him out.

"After all, he is old, and physical strength and speed are not his advantages.

"Ulloa, you did a great job in assisting defense in the first half.

"But the offensive contribution is still too little.

"If Vardy can pull Terry out in the second half, you will have more chances.

"Mahrez, your shooting chances in the first half were not very good.

"But you used your speed and dribbling to grab the ball.

"Good, you can continue in the second half.

"If you don't have a chance to shoot, you can look for your teammates more.

"Xia, you defended Fabregas very well in the first half.

"I am very satisfied!

"If there is a chance in the second half,

we can try to counterattack and go forward.

"After all, Fabregas' physical fitness will gradually decline.

"You'll also have a lot less pressure on defense."

Pearson commented on the performance of each player and gave suggestions.

Let's fight again in the second half!

Returning to the field, the main battlefield for both sides is still the midfield.

Chelsea made a position adjustment, replacing Schurrle with Willian.

Willian's ball control and breakthroughs were better, and Chelsea clearly created more chances in the second half.

Fabregas followed Mourinho's advice and did not force Xia Xing in the second half.

He made light connections in the midfield, reducing the time the ball was at his feet.

In this way, Xia Xing couldn't make any more defensive moves.

Even without a passer, Chelsea's three attackers in the frontcourt were still very effective.

Hazard, Willian and Oscar frequently made forward runs, causing panic in Leicester City's defense.

However, with the desperate pressure from the defense led by captain Morgan and vice-captain Schmeichel, Leicester City managed to keep their goal safe.

In the 70th minute of the game, Chelsea made the first substitution.

Drogba came on as a substitute, replacing Diego Costa.

In fact, Mourinho naturally prefers Drogba, but the Beast suffered a minor injury in the last game, so he was protected today.

Now, it's time for him to take the stage.

However, Chelsea encountered a dangerous situation just after he's coming on the field.

Willian sprinted with the ball, and the central defender Konchesky made a tackle!

Willian was directly tackled and flew away!

But the referee didn't blow the whistle!

No foul!

Chelsea quickly switched from attack to defense!

While Leicester City counterattacked immediately!
