Chapter 76 The FA Cup
In the following time, Mahrez has undergone many changes.
Although the ball was still passed to his feet, he began to actively seek cooperation.
This made Pearson on the sidelines very pleased.
Shakespeare nodded and sighed: "This young man is good everywhere, but he is too independent. Our scouts have observed him for a whole year and made an objective evaluation of him. If he can strengthen the team spirit, I believe there will be better development, and it will also be of greater help to Leicester City. Now it seems that everything is moving in a better direction."
Pearson looked at Xia Xing: "Speaking of it, this has a lot to do with Xia's guidance. They are also wide players who are good at breaking through. Xia frequently cooperates with his teammates, easily passing Mahrez and creating scoring opportunities. This has a big impact on Mahrez. This young man from the East is really good."
Shakespeare: "Even so, there were still people who didn't like him."
Pearson: "Don't talk about this, talk about something else..."
Shakespeare: "Ha ha ha ha!"
Seeing Pearson's deflated appearance, Shakespeare laughed out loud.
In fact, Shakespeare is also more and more lamented.
Although he has always been optimistic about Xia Xing, he did not expect Xia Xing to grow so fast.
Seeing that he is almost becoming the "first brother" of Leicester City, this speed of progress is really fast...
Although Xia Xing was still eye-catching, it did not cover up Mahrez's brilliance.
From the first day he joined the team, this young man has given everyone unexpected surprises.
With his performance on the training ground for two consecutive days, Mahrez has conquered everyone.
Even James, who was a competitor, was convinced.
"Brother, stop 'showing off your skills', can you give me the main position..."
Compared with Mahrez, James' strength is indeed slightly inferior.
There is Xia Xing's wonderful advancement and exquisite passing on the left, and Mahrez's quick dribbling and explosive shots on the right.
Now Leicester City's tactics are much richer.
It won't be long before Leicester City's tactics of flying on both wings will take shape.
On January 1, the Leicester City game resumed.
This time, they ushered in the FA Cup match.
According to the results of Pearson's communication with the players a few days ago, Leicester City will take the cup game seriously next.
Although they lost to Manchester City in the League Cup, there is still an FA Cup match.
And compared to the League Cup, the FA Cup is even more important.
As a traditional domestic cup in England, the FA Cup was once given great significance.
This time, their opponent is Stoke City, a team from the Premier League.
Although it is a Premier League relegation team, it still cannot be underestimated.
Many stars in the team are very strong.
England international Crouch is the high point of Stoke City's center and is a great threat.
The partner Anautovic is very impactful, not only has a good shot, but also has a great ability to play the ball.
Nzonzi, the French midfielder in his prime, has a tough style of play and excellent offense and defense.
The front trident composed of these three is Stoke City's biggest reliance.
Frequent injuries this season have caused the team's performance to be unstable.
In this game, all three started, quite healthy.
Leicester City is under a lot of pressure.
Now Leicester City's lead is becoming more and more obvious, so Pearson also sent a full lineup for this game.
It is worth mentioning that Mahrez, who has successfully registered, appeared on the bench.
Leicester City has an extra surprise soldier.
The referee whistles and the game begins!
From the first minute of the game, Stoke City took the absolute initiative.
Especially the control of the midfield is far from what Leicester City can match.
With Crouch in the penalty area, captain Morgan dare not take it lightly.
This big man with a height of more than two meters like a bamboo pole made Leicester City's defense extremely fearful.
As long as it is the opponent's cross, it may pose a threat.
And Morgan's collision was worried that it would cause a penalty.
Really tangled.
Therefore, in the midfield position of this game, Pearson ranked out a combination of engineers such as Drinkwater and Hammond.
Xia Xing and James on the wing also frequently participated in the defense, preventing the opponent from easily passing the midfield line.
Since the bamboo pole cannot be sawed off, the passing route can only be cut off.
In the first 30 minutes of the first half, Leicester City has been exhausted defensively.
In the face of even the Premier League's offense, Pearson's defensive tactics are very conservative.
But also because of this, Stoke City has not been able to score.
Until a midfield pass in the 43rd minute of the game.
Nzonzi holds the ball in the midfield, facing Hammond's defense, he is tough!
Finally won!
This young man from the Paris Saint-Germain youth academy squeezed Hammond away!
Drinkwater makes up defense!
Nzongzi kicked decisively straight!
The ball is given to the wing!
Anautovic pulls to respond!
The moment he catches the ball, he suddenly changes direction and accelerates!
Konchesky was thrown off!
Break through the bottom line and kick the cross!
Give the ball to the back point!
Morgan retreated with all his strength, but still couldn't keep up with the ball!
Crouch jumped high in the middle and scored with a header!
The ball hits the far corner of the goal!
The ball is in!
1 is better than 0!
Wonderful cooperation!
In the live broadcast room, the commentator of Sky TV applauded and praised.
"Great fit!
"Perfect performance!
"Stoke City scored a perfect goal with excellent attacking coordination!
"Although this Stoke City team is currently in great difficulty in the Premier League,
"But I still like them!
"Because they have a lot of great players!
"England international Peter Crouch is currently one of the best centers in the Premier League!
"Arnautovic, who has played for Inter Milan, Werder Bremen and many other strong teams,
"I have scored 11 Premier League goals this season, and I am in a brave state!
"The 25-year-old Nzonzi has excellent offensive and defensive skills, and his physical fitness is also very good. He has attracted the attention of the French national team.
"It is said that many European scouts are investigating him, and his future is bright!
"Such a Stoke City team, as long as they are lucky and don't suffer from injuries,
"Relegation is definitely no problem!
"Leicester City's FA Cup run is coming to an end."
Less than halftime into the game, the commentator announced that Leicester City had lost.
But don't blame the commentator, after all, Leicester City really didn't have many offensive opportunities in this game.
The only few times Xia Xing sprinted past the midfield with the ball, either the passing route was cut off, or Vardy was blocked.
In the current Leicester City formation, Xia Xing and Vardy's online attack is already their biggest killer.
All opponents know it well.
So as long as the two of them are guarded, Leicester City's offensive strength will be at least halved.
After the re-kick-off, Xia Xing's pass to Vardy was once again destroyed by the opposing defender's shovel.
The referee blew his whistle and the first half was over.
Pearson on the sidelines frowned, and he turned to look at the bench...
