Chapter 204 On the Importance of Xia Xing to Leicester City

Xia Xing is in excellent condition today.

Three assists in a row are extremely exciting, even more subtle than shooting.

However, at the last moment of the first half, he was brought down fiercely by opposing defender Delany.

The referee whistles, yellow card!

Even so, it still couldn't appease the anger of the generals of Leicester City!
Many players gathered around, even led by the most stable captain Morgan on weekdays!
Already choked each other!
Shakespeare on the sidelines also protested angrily!

War is imminent!
At this time, the referee and assistant coaches all played.

They struggled to separate the players from both sides to avoid escalation of the conflict.

The referee even showed two reds and four yellows in a row to control the situation a little bit.

Two red cards were Morgan and Delany who choked each other.

The two were the fuse of the conflict, and there is nothing wrong with sending them off.

The remaining four yellow cards are also two for each side.

Delany walked off the field in a bad mood, not only because he was sent off, but also because of his status.

You know, he was also a player who came out of the Leicester City youth academy.

Passing by the sidelines, he paused for a moment, wanting to see Xia Xing who was undergoing treatment.

But looking at the glaring state of the Leicester City general, he still didn't go over.

Sorry, I didn't mean to.

At this time, the two sides sent off a player each, and Xia Xing was also injured.

Injury time should have been 3 minutes, but now only 2 minutes later, the referee simply blew his whistle.

Clean up the mess, both of you!

For Crystal Palace, they are three goals behind and in a bad mood.

And for Leicester City, they are even more upset!

Now whoever has a problem in the team, Xia Xing can't make a problem!
He is not only the absolute core of the team, but also fights continuously with his super physical fitness.

Without him alone, it is equivalent to losing two cores, which is so exaggerated!
Especially when Xia Xing was knocked down just now, there was a lot of bleeding on his calf.

In case of injury for a period of time, it will be a big loss to Leicester City!
The top four in the Premier League, the breakthrough in the Europa League, and the domestic cup competition are all slim...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yu slowly raised his head.

After checking the exit, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not a big problem. Although there is a little blood, it's just a skin trauma. It's okay."

"Oh, all right……"

Pierson breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Xing also wanted to stand up and take two steps to show everyone that he was fine.

But as soon as he straightened himself up, he was held down by Shakespeare.

"Don't make trouble! Take a good rest! Don't even think about going to the second half!"

Xia Xing wanted to say something, but looking at everyone's concerned eyes, he still couldn't say anything.

That's right, let's take a rest, after all, we lead by three goals at halftime, no problem.

Pearson also made a decisive substitution, replacing Xia Xing with Andy King.

Although Andy King is not as good as Xia Xing, he still maintains a three-goal lead, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Leicester City soldiers are still very optimistic about the second half of the game.

But unexpectedly, the progress of the game was completely different from what they had imagined!

As soon as the second half started, Leicester City was in trouble.

Morgan went off, Pearson removed Ulloa and replaced Huth.

Huth and Konchesky partnered at centre-back.

The formation of the team became 4-4-1.

Andy King, who came off the bench, replaced Xia Xing in the left midfield position.

The next player was also sent, and the Crystal Palace did not make any formation adjustments.

They are three goals behind, and it doesn't matter if they lose a defender. They must not withdraw their strikers to fill the defensive vacancies.

Just at the start of the second half, they took advantage of Leicester City's unsteady foothold and sent a long pass to the penalty area!

Center Sanogo volleys!
The ball crashed into the net!

3 is better than 1!

Crystal Palace pulled one back!
And just 5 minutes later, another midfield pass!

The ball finds substitute forward Fraser Campbell!

The latter hit the goal with a header!
The ball hits the near corner of the goal!

3 is better than 2!

Less than 10 minutes into the game, Leicester City conceded two goals in a row!

This annoyed Pearson on the sidelines!

The two conceded goals just now were all caused by Leicester City's midfield mistakes!
One was Andy King and Drinkwater's coordination error, and the other was Huth and Konchesky's coordination misplacement!

It's all about the substitute players!
Shakespeare comforted Pearson calmly when he saw Pearson furious.

"Dude, don't worry, it's not about the players. After all, there was Xia in the middle and Morgan in the defense in the first half. Now that both of them are off the field, these lads definitely need to adapt to the new adjustments. After all, the two off are the backbone of the team..."

Pearson sighed softly, and his temper calmed down a lot.

That's right.

Leicester City's success this season has a lot to do with the continuous battles of several core players.

Needless to say, Xia Xing, the captain and vice-captain Morgan and Schmeichel also almost never lost every game in the league.

Although Vardy and Mahrez are the team's absolute main offensive force, they both guarantee the existence of the team's upper limit, while Xia Xing and the two captains guarantee the existence of the team's lower limit.

In this game, two people went off in a row, and it will be difficult to play next...

After conceding two goals in a row, Leicester City slowly recovered their form.

But in the face of Crystal Palace's pounce, they have not had a good way.

Andy King passed the ball several times in a row, but was suppressed by the opponent's defense.

Although the opponent did not fill the vacancy of the defender, because Leicester City withdrew Ulloa, it is still no problem for three people to defend Vardy one.

And Mahrez did not have a good chance for several breakthroughs.

Until the 87th minute of the game, Crystal Palace launched another onslaught.

Leicester City has begun to defend, and Crystal Palace has no particularly good passing opportunities.

That's when their talented player Zaha started his own show.

He dribbled the ball on the left and suddenly accelerated!
Faced with Mahrez's press, he directly changed to cut in and passed the opponent!
Then continue to slant forward to the left and accelerate the sprint!
Simpson stepped forward to press!

Zaha stepped on a bicycle and swayed Simpson away!

Into the restricted area!
Konchesky went up to the tackle, but he didn't dare to make too many moves.

After all, Zaha is too flexible. If he makes a rash move, he may give the opponent a penalty.

Taking advantage of Konchesky's hesitation, Zaha kicked decisively and shot!

The ball went between Konchesky's legs!

Although not powerful, but the ball is extremely fast!
And Schmeichel's line of sight was also blocked!
The ball went straight into the far corner of the goal!

The ball is in!
3 is better than 3!

Crystal Palace scored an absolute goal!

Excited Crystal Palace players cheered!
Even Zaha rushed into the net and ran back holding the ball!

We not only want to equalize, but also strive to overtake!

From 0 to 3, to 3 to 3, we did it!

We still have to fight for 4 to 3 now!

Aren't you Leicester City amazing?
In front of us, there is still no advantage!

Three goals in a row, the Crystal Palace is like a rainbow!
