Chapter 17 Raiders!
Last season, Leicester City finally ranked sixth in the league. Unfortunately, they lost in the play-offs and failed to surpass.
This has a lot to do with their poor striker ability to seize opportunities.
Just looking at the number of goals scored in the season, they are not too few.
But in terms of the ability to create excellent opportunities, Leicester City is the top of the British Championship.
Reluctantly, the striker spit out cakes one after another, which made the team often lose points that should not be lost.
In the league scorer list last season, only Nugent ranked No.8.
However, compared with the top scorer Glenn Murray, the score of 16 goals is still too far behind.
And last season's second scorer in the team turned out to be Konokite who scored 8 goals.
This pair of main striker partners last season did not score as many goals as some competitors alone.
Next came midfielder Andy King's 7 goals and Vardy's 4 goals.
This is the top four players in the team's league goals last season.
It's an exaggeration.
If it weren't for more blooming, Leicester City wouldn't even be able to get the sixth position in the league.
With the arrival of the new season, coach Pearson decided to experiment with a new lineup, especially from the front line.
As soon as the game started, Leicester City started their onslaught.
The most active are the two sides.
Dell and James used their personal skills to quickly break through and seek opportunities.
Several shots in a row made the field heat up immediately, and the fans applauded continuously.
Andy King also used his comprehensiveness, ball control, ball protection, and passing to create several threatening ball opportunities.
But none of them turned into goals.
Vardy's kick kicked wide of the goal in the penalty area, and Chris Wood's two headers were also resolved by the goalkeeper because of their relatively positive positions.
In the opening 15 minutes, although they failed to score, the atmosphere in the stadium was quite enthusiastic.
However, Pearson on the sidelines frowned.
Fans think the offense is fun, but Pearson doesn't see it that way.
How many good opportunities the team wasted just now!
Although the two wing breakthroughs are sharp, there is no good passing line at all!
Wood in the middle is 191cm tall, but because of the opponent's strict interference, he couldn't make a header.
Under the opponent's intensive defense, Vardy's rapid advancement characteristics were completely suppressed, and he, who is good at sports warfare, was useless.
Seeing that the team was in trouble, Pearson yelled for the backcourt players to press on.
The two full-backs go up and can create more opportunities.
In the next period of time, there were indeed more opportunities, but none of them were able to score.
At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-0.
Pearson had a bad look on his face, and when he returned to the locker room, he didn't look good on the players.
As soon as the second half started, the team made extensive adjustments.
Many players in the midfield were replaced, especially the two strikers in the front line, all of them were off.
Vardy came to the bench with his head down and sat down, kicking the turf hard.
"Today's condition is really bad!"
Xia Xing beside him comforted: "This is the first friendly match, don't rush, take your time."
Chris Wood on the other side was also very upset.
As one of the two high center forwards in the team, he has been training well during this time.
He scored 3 goals in the league last season and performed well in the cup competition, scoring 6 goals.
But even so, he can only be used as a substitute for Nugent, who is also a high center.
Nugent's state was overwhelming last season, and Pearson could only choose one of two forwards with similar technical characteristics.
Nugent has a strong view of the overall situation and has a higher degree of cooperation with his teammates, which is appreciated by Pearson.
While Chris Wood is talented, but young and proud, Pearson wants to polish him.
The hard-won starting opportunity was wasted like this, and Wood was naturally upset.
The two main forwards left the field, and last season's league starting striker combination debuted.
After the two played, it was obvious that there were not small changes.
Especially Nugent, his role as a column center is more obvious, frequently playing the ball for his teammates and creating many good opportunities.
Konokite also seized the opportunity frequently and scored consecutively.
However, they all missed the goal, only a little bit.
Until the 75th minute of the game, Leicester City still failed to break through York City's goal.
The York City manager on the sidelines is in a good mood.
Being able to withstand the powerful Leicester City, he is full of expectations for the new season.
But Pearson was in a worse mood.
He stared in the direction of the court with a livid face. If it weren't for the limited number of substitute players, he really wanted to change the current 11 players again.
This kick is all about what!
Considering that the players have just finished their vacation and are in poor condition, they need time to recover.
However, this kick is too bad!
Pearson looked back at the bench, only the third goalkeeper from the youth team and Xia Xing were left.
Seeing Xia Xing, Pierson frowned slightly.
He really didn't like this thin Huaguo boy.
but now……
"Xia, go warm up and get ready for the stage!"
"it is good!"
In fact, Xia Xing had just finished warming up, and he stood up again within a minute after sitting down.
But this time he was excited.
This is the first time he has appeared in a game wearing a Leicester City jersey!
Even if it's just a friendly match, it's great!
Xia Xing came off the bench and replaced the left midfielder Dell.
Dell was very active in this game and created a lot of opportunities.
The two clapped hands, and Xia Xing appeared on stage!
The No. 17 Leicester City jersey with "xia" appeared for the first time at the King Power Stadium!
The words of encouragement from the on-site commentator echoed on the pitch.
"The following is the newcomer of Leicester City——xia!"
The fans in the stands gave encouraging applause, which made Xia Xing intoxicated.
Drinkwater, who had already been replaced, was full of expectations: "This kid will become a surprise player, he will."
Matthew James whistled loudly, too, and didn't stop until Pearson gave him a glare.
Why is it always me who is unlucky...
Xia Xing ran onto the court, and he felt that the blood flow in his body accelerated.
The opponent throws the ball out of bounds, and the players of both sides start to press near the midfield.
The ball bounced to the left.
It is falling at Xia Xing's feet!
At this time, Xia Xing saw that the opponent's defense line was pressing forward!
Without hesitation, speed up with the ball!
The opponent's midfielder grabs!
Xia Xing changed direction lightly, extraordinary!
Accelerate along the sidewalk!
The two central defenders flanked each other, Xia Xing protected the ball at his feet, and his speed slowed down for a moment...
Accelerate suddenly!
This is Iniesta's signature move - croquettes!
In an instant, he passed between the two of them!
At this point he has entered the restricted area!
Although there are two defenders on the opposite side, they can shoot!
Xia Xing moved his feet, and stepped out quickly!
No shot, just a pass!
The ball hit the right side!
Get Knokite!
The French striker didn't adjust and volleyed directly!
The ball hits the net!
The ball is in!
1 is better than 0!
Leicester City finally broke the deadlock!
There was thunderous applause and cheers in the stands!
On the sidelines, Drinkwater and Matthew James looked at each other in surprise.
"What a surprise soldier!"
