Chapter 149

 Olic's shot almost broke into the net, and the Leicester City fans in the stands exclaimed.

Captain Morgan stepped forward and pulled up goalkeeper Schmeichel: "Man, your save was great!"

Schmeichel frowned slightly: "Their passes and shots were very simple, but very effective and threatening."

"That's right. I thought he would stop for a while before dealing with it, but he just shot straight away."

"We have to be more careful next time."

"Um!"

De Bruyne's corner kick was headed away by Morgan, and Leicester City's crisis was resolved.

Xia Xing looked at the Wolfsburg players, his mind clear.

Leicester City just launched a fierce attack at the beginning of the game, but Wolfsburg did not rush to counterattack. Instead, they stabilized their defense and slowly looked for opportunities.

It was not until a break in Leicester City's attack that the players relaxed a little and they seized this opportunity.

This attack only involved three or four people passing the ball, which almost resulted in a goal.

And it's quite threatening.

This team's tactical quality is great!

Since acquiring the SS-level star skill "Tactical master", Xia Xing's insight into the going ons of the field has improved by leaps and bounds, and his analysis of the situation and prediction of the next step have improved qualitatively.

In offense, he still gave his all.

On defense, he's also more mindful.

Paying special attention to the opponent's No. 14 player, De Bruyne.

From the beginning of the game to now, De Bruyne doesn't seem to have any particularly outstanding performance.

The few passes just now were just normal.

However, Xia Xing knew very well that a player of this level could change the situation of the game with just a moment's outburst.

Even with the defensive strength of Drinkwater and Albrighton, victory is not guaranteed.

As time goes by, Leicester City's offense still has a slight advantage.

However, they still failed to break Wolfsburg's goal.

Wolfsburg also had several good counterattack opportunities, but they were also broken up by Leicester City.

Especially when De Bruyne dribbled forward and was brought down by Albrighton.

Albrighton, who started the game in place of Cambiasso, was very active in defense.

Pearson also talked to him privately about the starting position.

After all, Cambiasso is old, and sooner or later Albrighton will take the starting position.

Now he cherishes every opportunity to play and will definitely give his all.

In the 41st minute of the game, Xia Xing made a long pass to find Vardy.

The latter took the ball in the penalty area and shot directly, and the ball went into the net!

The ball went in!

Just when Leicester City was excited, the referee blew the whistle!

Offside!

The goal is invalid!

"We were not offside at all!" Chris Wood rushed to the referee to protest!

Vardy also explained to the referee: "When I started just now, I was half a body length behind the opponent. I was observing all the time. There was no offside!"

But the referee showed no sign of wanting to listen to any opinions.

Not only that, he also gave Chris Wood a yellow card for protesting!

This made the Leicester City players furious!

Pearson on the sidelines was also furious: "It was clearly not a foul just now, why couldn't he check well?"

The fourth official said expressionlessly: "Please control your emotions."

Pearson: "I just f---"

Shakespeare quickly covered his mouth to stop him from speaking.

"My friend, this is Leicester City's first Europa League game. If you get sent off, it will go down in history."

"But they..."

"Don't be anxious. We still have plenty of opportunities. We can Take our time, we can take our time."

Shakespeare was right, there is still a chance.

However, these words of comfort could not calm the players' emotions.

The game resumed and Leicester City players were clearly affected.

Wolfsburg's pass easily reached Leicester City's penalty area.

If it weren't for Schmeichel's full-force save, Leicester City would have fallen behind.

There were three minutes of injury time in the first half.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Wolfsburg once again played a wonderful combination.

The ball was passed continuously in the midfield.

Gustavo and Vieirinha passed the ball to De Bruyne.

At this time, Gustavo quickly moved forward and prepared to receive the ball.

De Bruyne also pulled the ball back, obviously intending to pass it to Gustavo.

Drinkwater and Albrighton hesitated for a moment.

The two began to consider the division of labor in defense.

But at this moment, De Bruyne suddenly kicked the ball!

Instead of passing the ball to Gustavo, he made a long pass straight into the penalty area!

At this time, De Bruyne was in the right midfield position. This pass was very close to the ground, with a very large arc!

It flew through the gap between Drinkwater and Albrighton!

It passed in front of the two defenders, De Laet and Konchesky!

Accurately found Dost who was making a forward run!

Dost shot the ball in the penalty area with

great speed and it went into the net!

The ball went in!

1-0!

This time Schmeichel was helpless!

The ball was too fast!

The visiting fans in the stands cheered wildly!

At this time, the name they were talking about was not even Dost, the scorer, but De Bruyne, the passer!

The pass definitely had a large part of the credit for the goal just now!

It was amazing!

The Leicester City players were a little frustrated. They looked at the time and felt that there was no hope in the first half.

At this time, Xia Xing was also standing there in a daze.

He was not upset, but thinking about De Bruyne's pass just now.

The moment he received the ball, seeing Gustavo moving forward, De Bruyne must have been ready to pass the ball to him.

But seeing that the two Leicester City defensive midfielders were somewhat out of position, and the striker's timing of movement was also very good,

De Bruyne decisively chose to pass the ball!

This pass is of extremely high quality!

And it was an understatement!

The game resumed, and there was about a minute left in injury time.

Most Leicester City players felt that the chance of equalizing was slim, but they still tried their best.

After Vardy and Chris Wood kicked off, they passed the ball behind them and sprinted quickly.

Especially Chris Wood, he was still upset about the yellow card he just received.

And Vardy is someone who never gives up easily.

The two of them sprinted quickly and arrived near the penalty area.

At this moment the ball fell at Drinkwater's feet.

He knocked the ball sideways and then rushed forward quickly.

Now the first half is about to end, this is the last chance to attack, they have to give it a try!

At this time, on the left side of the center line, Xia Xing received the ball.

He had already observed his teammates' running positions in advance.

This time is perfect!

He Dribbled the ball forward slightly to find a good angle!

Vieirinha rushed to steal the ball!

But Xia Xing kicked the ball faster!

He didn't bother looking and kicked it directly!

Passing the ball!

A large 45-degree cross!

This pass looks so casual!

Vardy at the front fakes a shot, and Chris Wood at the back jumps high!

Overpowering Knoche, he headed the ball into the goal!

The ball hit the net!

The ball goes in!

1 to 1!

A wonderful equalizing goal!
