Chapter 149
On the evening of August 9, outside the King Power Stadium.

Since being promoted to the Premier League, Leicester City's football market has become more and more popular.

After consecutive victories, the fans' expectations for the team have reached their peak.

For their European debut, the fans are looking forward to it.

Pearson even let the team enter the field earlier, warm up in advance, and find the feeling.

In this game, Leicester City still played a 4-4-2 formation.

goalkeeper Schmeichel,

The four defenders from left to right are De Laet, Konchesky, Wes Morgan, Danny Simpson,

The four midfielders from left to right Xia, Drinkwater, Albrighton, Mahrez,
The double forwards are Vardy and Chris Wood.

Compared with the last game, two positions have been changed today.

Veteran Cambiasso and striker Ulloa took turns, Albrighton and Chris Wood started.

The adjustment of these two positions is not only to consider the physical fitness of the players, but also a tactical change.

Facing Wolfsburg, a powerhouse from the Bundesliga, Pearson was fully prepared.

The biggest feature of Wolfsburg is solid basic skills.

Their offense and defense are very stable, steady and steady.

Although there are no special tactical highlights, it is this solid feature that is enough to put pressure on the opponent.

And the biggest bright spot under this solidity is naturally De Bruyne, the midfield playmaker.

Today Wolfsburg played a 4-3-3 formation,

Goalkeeper Benaglio,

Back four Ricardo Rodriguez, Naldo, Knoch, Sebastian Jung,
Three midfielders Maranda, Gustavo, De Bruyne,
Three strikers Caligiuri, Olic, Dost.

Although it is an offensive 4-3-3 formation, their players have excellent running ability.

所以球队经常在4-3-3和4-5-1之间变化。

At this moment, the players on both sides have finished their warm-up, listened to the coach's final arrangement in the locker room, and quickly ran out of the player tunnel.

On the court, Xia Xing looked at the number 14 player opposite.

De Bruyne.

Such a talented player, unexpectedly career development is very twists and turns.

A blockbuster in Bremen, I thought that returning to Chelsea would have a better development.

But unfortunately, he didn't get his wish.

In fact, it is not Mourinho's fault.

After all, Chelsea now has a lot of masters in the team, and Hazard, Oscar, William and other players are in hot form.

De Bruyne really has no room to play.

After all, Abramovich is a boss who is in urgent need of results, and he will not give the head coach too many opportunities to train new players.

Finally left the team halfway through last season and returned to the Bundesliga.

This choice is quite correct.

Now De Bruyne has become the absolute tactical core of Wolfsburg, and even the best midfielder in the Bundesliga.

very nice.

Although they are opponents, Xia Xing looks at De Bruyne with a feeling of sympathy.

At this moment, he suddenly found that De Bruyne was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other.

De Bruyne smiled.

Xia Xing also nodded with a smile.

Although they have never met before, the two seem to have a good understanding.

Xia Xing looked at the sky.

This game is interesting...

At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, and the game began!

Leicester City take the lead!
Vardy and Chris Wood passed each other and moved forward quickly!
Hand the ball to Drinkwater behind him!

Drinkwater knocked again and handed it to Albrighton!

After receiving the ball, Albrighton decisively accelerated with the ball and sprinted towards the front left!
At this time, Xia Xing on the left quickly ran to the middle, and the two completed a cross exchange!

At this time, the left back Draet has already assisted and stepped forward!

Albrighton made a short pass, and De Laet received the ball and sprinted!

Diagonal long pass into the restricted area!

Get Vardy!

Vardy volleys from the edge of the box!

The ball was firmly hugged by goalkeeper Benalio!

Just at the beginning of the game, Leicester City played a wave of wonderful offensive cooperation!

There was thunderous applause at the King Power Stadium, and Leicester City fans were very excited!
They seem to have seen the scene of winning!
We have won four consecutive Premier League victories, will we be able to usher in our first European victory soon?

Most definitely!
With the home momentum at the start, Leicester City's offense continued.

In the 6th minute of the game, Leicester City launched another fierce attack.

This time the ball went to the right, and Mahrez started his solo performance.

He dribbled continuously, shaking away two defenders.

Suddenly cut in, and instantly pull back to the right!
Near the touchline, cross!

Chris Wood jumped high and headed the goal!

The ball went a little off the top and slid out of the goal.

Although there was no goal, this cooperation still won the applause of the fans.

In the 10th minute of the game, Drinkwater stepped in from the back row again and took a long shot.

Goalkeeper Benaglio punched out with both fists, and defender Nardo made a clearance with his feet.

Shakespeare at the side of the court smiled all over his face: "Not bad, not bad, although we haven't scored yet, but looking at the posture, it will be a matter of time. This game is sure to win!"

But Pearson still looked dignified.

Shakespeare: "What's wrong?"

Pearson: "This game is not as simple as we thought."

Shakespeare: "Why?"

Pearson: "Look at our few attacks just now. Although we all created goals, they were actually not particularly good opportunities. Wolfsburg still played steadily according to their own rhythm. They were much more determined than we expected..."

Shakespeare looked at the court again, thoughtful.

But now on the court, Xia Xing had the same thoughts as Pearson.

Wolfsburg is not easy!
The game opened with an onslaught, which was Pearson's request and the players agreed.

So Leicester City's offense was fierce at the beginning.

They want to try to score goals at the beginning, and then they can settle down and play slowly with their opponents.

But Leicester City's several attacks failed to gain anything.

Not only that, but they don't actually have an absolute good chance.

Although the pass can reach the striker's feet, and it can also create shooting opportunities,
But Wolfsburg's defensive front is not chaotic at all, very stable.

Even if the Leicester City players shoot, they are all within the opponent's safe area.

And the defender also blocked some angles and positions, making it much easier for the goalkeeper to save.

Facing such a defensive master, Leicester City really can't bear it for a while.

Not only that, Wolfsburg's offense is equally stable.

There are no particularly subtle passes and shots, but it is a straightforward pass,
Every pass is very consistent, almost no turnovers.

This puts a lot of pressure on Leicester City's defense.

In the 15th minute of the game, an attack from Wolfsburg started.

Continuous cooperation in the middle and precise passing found Caligiuri on the front line.

Caligiuri suddenly pulled aside and kicked a cross!
Olic quickly advanced forward and poked a shot in front of the goal!
This shot is so crisp!

The ball flew straight to the far corner of the goal!

Schmeichel took off quickly and punched out with both fists!

Leicester City survived!
