Chapter 772 Fierce Battle

Just 15 minutes into the game, Leicester City, playing at home, scored the first goal.

This goal is not an accident. After all, they have been attacking continuously for half a day, and this is already their third attack in this game.

It's threatening every time.

This goal is not an injustice.

With the score leading, Leicester City players are getting more and more excited.

The next attack was even bigger.

And when Manchester United retreated at the beginning, it would be more difficult to regain the rhythm of the attack.

Only Xia Xing is still working hard to help his teammates create opportunities.

But without the two fast horses of Rashford and James today, Manchester United's offense is obviously much weaker.

Greenwood has excellent offensive ability, but he was targeted by his opponent today and basically had little chance to get close to the goal.

Mata is active in running in the frontcourt, but his delicacy is still a bit lacking, especially in dribbling, which is far inferior to Rashford.

In this way, even if center Ighalo wants to play for his teammates, he has little chance.

The three forward players were misfired and could only rely on Xia Xing.

And when facing Leicester City, how could the Blue Fox soldiers give Xia Xing a chance?

Everyone in the world knows Xia Xing's strength, let alone a Leicester City player.

Even though Xia Xing left the Blue Fox, every coach and every player will hear Xia Xing's story soon after joining the team.

In fact, they can see it without listening.

After all, in the past few seasons, Xia Xing has become a superstar comparable to Melo in European football, and is definitely the third player in the world.

Therefore, as long as Xia Xing gets the ball in this game, three defensive players will immediately come forward.

Even at the risk of losing his position, Xia Xing must not be given a chance.

And the defense is very tough.

It was not easy for Xia Xing to pass the ball just now.

Most of the time, as soon as Xia Xing gets the ball, one person immediately comes up to pull it, and another person comes up to shovel it.

Two minutes ago, Xia Xinggang was looking for a breakthrough opportunity, but was immediately brought down by Vardy who was returning to defense.

Although the referee's whistle sounded and Manchester United was given a free kick, Manchester United also missed its best opportunity to attack.

Xia Xing, who fell to the ground, looked helpless.

Vardy reached out and pulled him up.

"Are you okay?"

"Something's wrong! Why didn't you get a red card?"

"That's impossible. I pay attention to my defensive actions, and if I pull you up in such a friendly way, the referee will not give me a red card."

"You're a bad guy."

"There is no way, normal means can't stop you, you have to be ruthless."

"hehe."

Seeing Vardy taking it for granted, Xia Xing, who was pulled up, slapped him hard.

"Okay, you also hit me and came back."

"Bullshit!"

"If you say that again, I will lie down."

"Get out of here!"

Xia Xing was too lazy to pay attention to him.

He also knew that Vardy was joking and he was not that insidious kind of person.

But speaking of it, Leicester City was a bit harsh on their defense in this game.

Vardy's tackle was just a microcosm. During this period, both Ndidi and Tielemans were constantly showing off their spikes.

Compared to old teammates like Vardy, Endidi and Tielemans don't care.

They and Xia Xing have never been teammates, and now they are each their own master and don't care.

Xia Xing played very hard during this period. Now he can only rely on running in a wide range to maximize the opponent's defensive attention, and then help his teammates create opportunities.

However, the front trident is in poor condition, which has repeatedly frustrated Manchester United's offense.

In the 25th minute of the game, Vardy made another breakthrough and finally hit the goalpost with a shot, almost expanding the lead.

This made Xia Xing a little anxious.

We can't let our opponents fight like this all the time.

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, he came to the sidelines and suggested to Solskjaer.

"Coach, we can't retreat like this anymore, we must press forward!"

"But we don't have enough defensive power now, and it's dangerous to press on..."

"If we don't rely on offense to relieve defensive pressure, then we will be more dangerous!"

"Well, okay, you can adjust it according to the situation on the field..."

"it is good!"

With Solskjaer's permission, Xia Xing can finally give it a go.

In the game, Xia Xing has great rights.

Especially the adjustments to on-field tactics and the deployment of players.

On the one hand, he is the captain, on the other hand, he is also the core organization and soul of the team.

But even so, Xia Xing always adjusted his offense, at best playing with his midfield teammates.

For defensive players, he is more of a coordinator and rarely changes Solskjaer's tactical arrangements.

For example, just now, Solskjaer asked the whole team to retreat. Even if Xia Xing had other ideas in his mind, he did not let his teammates press on.

After all, I am not the coach. Even if it is for the good of the team, I cannot take over the role. This is inappropriate.

Now, with Solskjaer's permission, he can finally make some adjustments on his own.

"Luke Xiao, Dalot, you press forward appropriately and assist in the attack!"

"What if there is a defensive hole behind us?"

"I will make up for it appropriately!"

"OK!"

After hearing Xia Xing's words, the two of them were completely relieved.

In the next period of time, Xia Xing began to sort out the midfield ball.

The ball doesn't just go to his feet.

More often than not, the ball begins to go wide.

In this game, because Rashford and James were missing two fast wingers, Manchester United played less often on the wing today.

But now, their two full-backs are up!

You must know that Luke Shaw and Dalot are both players with excellent assist abilities. Their forward pressure instantly caused Leicester City a lot of trouble!

Leicester City has been defending in the middle, and now the pressure on the wings is increasing, and they are momentarily confused.

Should the defense move to the side, or should it continue to suppress Xia Xing?

At this time, Maguire found Xia Xing with a long pass. Xia Xing took advantage of the moment when the two defensive midfielders were distracted and suddenly sprinted with the ball!

Their defense line was broken!
35 meters away from the goal, Xia Xing didn't hesitate and shot directly!
The ball had a tricky angle and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

Schmeichel jumped up quickly and rubbed the ball out with his fingertips!
Leicester City escaped disaster!
They were almost equalized by Manchester United!

With just one blow, Xia Xing showed his superstar strength!
At this time, the two Leicester City midfielders looked at each other.

Both Ndidi and Tielemans saw fear in each other's eyes.

It was almost too dangerous.

At this time, Rogers on the sidelines was also shouting.

"Keep an eye on him! Don't give him a chance!"

The two Leicester midfielders nodded.

Don't worry about the opponent's two full-backs for now, you still have to guard Xia Xing!
He is simply too dangerous! (End of chapter)
