Chapter 171 Existence of the Only One
The referee whistles and the game begins!
In this FA Cup quarter-final match, Stamford Bridge was full.

For Leicester City, this game is not particularly important.

After all, Pearson gave up strategically, so the pressure on the players is relatively small.

But Chelsea is different.

Mourinho told the players that his goal this season is-all champions!
This sentence greatly boosted morale, but it was also stressful.

Especially for Chelsea players, they cannot relax for every game.

For Mourinho, he has no absolute main players.

Even his beloved Drogba will be put on the bench due to his status.

To scare chickens and monkeys, other players in the team also strictly abide by the rules, train well, and maintain their state.

In this game, many substitute players and young players came on the stage. They attacked one after another at the beginning of the game, and the climax continued.

"Mikel and Willian's one-two!

"Andy King was passed!

"Straight into the box!

"Drogba catches the ball and shoots!

"The ball slid out of the goal!

"Hitting on the billboard, almost blowing up the billboard!
"Drogba's shot was too violent!"

Just 5 minutes into the game, Chelsea heated up Stamford Bridge with a burst shot.

Soon, his cooperation came again.

"This time it was an attack from the left flank!
"Filipe sprints with the ball and uses his speed to pass James who comes up!
"Straight ahead!
"William hits the middle!
"Ramirez doesn't stop the split!
"Salah goes forward and catches the ball fast!
"In the corner of the penalty area, he kicked and shot!

"Schmeichel blocked the near corner, double fisted out!
"Although the goal was not scored, this attack was very exciting!"

In less than 10 minutes of the opening, Chelsea played two wonderful cooperation.

Both times made the Leicester City gate jittery.

But Leicester City has been carrying it.

Especially the combination of Xia Xing and Albrighton in the midfield is very stable.

Although the passes of Chelsea players were blocked several times, even if they were passed to the striker's feet, the most threatening route was blocked.

Whether it's Drogba's direct kick or Salah's shot from the corner of the penalty area,
All without much time to adjust.

This is already the best that Leicester City's midfield defense can do at present.

Today, Leicester City's defense line is full of main players, and all members are online.

It wasn't until the 20th minute of the game that Leicester City made their first shot of the game.

Xia Xing made a long pass to the right, and James sprinted with the ball!
Shaking away Mikel, who was grabbing, he suddenly accelerated to cut in, and shot with one kick!
The ball was punched out by Czech veteran Petr Cech.

Chelsea defuse the danger.

Even so, the cooperation of Leicester City also posed a threat to them.

Although there was no goal, Shakespeare on the sidelines still smiled and applauded.

"Very good, James has also raised the ball now. He has been playing as a left midfielder before. During this period of time, he deliberately strengthened the training on the right side during training. It's not bad, very good, very good."

Pearson also nodded: "Yeah, James' passing and shooting movements just now are very similar to Mahrez. It seems that this young man didn't waste his training time."

James is a good young man. Even if he lost his main position, he was not decadent, but continued to work hard.

Today he played very well on the right.

And on the left, Andy King also played very stably.

In this game, Andy King was placed on the left, and Xia Xing was in the middle.

This is Pearson's arrangement, he wants to interrupt Chelsea's attack in the center.

After learning that Hazard would not start the game, Pearson decisively asked Xia Xing to guard the middle.

Xia Xing is definitely the only one in the current Leicester City midfield defense.

Although he is not a butcher type midfielder, Xia Xing's body is strong enough and he often takes the lead in confrontation.

And he is very smart at playing football, always able to intercept the ball lightly, and rarely fouls.

William, Remy and Salah in the midfield today, it is difficult to find a chance in front of Xia Xing.

You can only try to pass the ball to Drogba, or simply take a long shot yourself.

But in this way, the offensive efficiency is very low.

After several consecutive onslaughts, Chelsea failed to receive results.

At this time, the game has come to 30 minutes, and it has been played for half an hour.

Mourinho on the sidelines frowned.

It seems that there is still a gap between the strength of the substitute players and the main players.

Leicester City is not easy to deal with.

But fortunately, they don't have too good offensive players. Mahrez and Vardy are not there, and their offense can't improve.

Give up the attack and defend with all your strength.

Leicester City's goal has been achieved.

Then spend it with them!

Believe it or not, we can't beat them!
At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-0.

In the second half, Mourinho made some substitution adjustments after changing sides.

Replaced the veteran Drogba with Diego Costa, and wanted to use the newcomer to make a rush.

But not scoring in the first half was not a problem with the striker, but a problem with the midfielder.

Diego Costa is in the same trouble.

Can catch the pass, but doesn't have a great chance.

Morgan played very well in this game, whether it was Drogba or Diego Costa, he all stared at each other tightly.

The time came to 66 minutes, and Chelsea had just ended an attack.

The ball was punched out by Schmeichel, and Morgan squeezed Diego Costa away with his back to protect the ball.

Konchesky was knocked horizontally, and Konchesky passed it directly to Xia Xing.

Ramirez quickly snatched it close to him!
The biggest task Mourinho gave Ramirez in this game was to stare at Xia Xing!
But even so, Xia Xing still easily shook him away.

After catching the ball sideways, facing Ramirez's attack, Xia Xing speeded up the moment he caught the ball!
Sprint to the left!
This change made Ramirez a little confused.

what's the situation?
Xia Xing has been defending in the middle for too long, he has forgotten that Xia Xing is a fast horse on the side!

Get rid of the space and rush straight to the left!

Continue to accelerate forward!
After passing the middle circle, Xia Xing didn't want to fight!
The opponent's two defensive players forced up!

Xia Xing made a long pass with one foot on the ground, looking for Ulloa outside the penalty area!

As a striker who often retreats to get the ball, Ulloa has a great running distance!

Now he drops back to catch the ball, but Gary Cahill stares him down, unable to turn around and make moves.

However, he didn't intend to turn around!

Knock decisively to the left side of the body!
At this point James has quickly plugged in!
In the corner of the penalty area, he took a slight lead and volleyed!

The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
Chris Wood in the penalty area ran quickly and disrupted Chelsea's penalty area!

The moment James shot, Cech had no time to react!

And this shot is very tricky!

Straight to the corner!

The ball crashed into the net!

1 is better than 0!

After Leicester City defended for an hour,
Finally broke the deadlock!

Now the balance of victory has tilted towards them!
