Star card system.

Chapter 248 A Brand New Team

Baresi, Maldini, Nesta, Cannavaro, Facchetti.

Caniggia, Alan Shearer, Figo, Ferdinand, Ronaldo.

The ten names are extremely dazzling.

Ten missions are of varying difficulty.

But it's all exciting.

In the first ten missions of last season, there were four SS cards.

There is only one SS rank card this season.

Although the number of top-level cards has decreased, Xia Xing still looks at the mission with light in his eyes.

For him, his own data attributes are already very good-looking.

The offensive power is definitely top-notch in the Premier League, and the defense is definitely good enough.

The next road to upgrade, whether it is to continue to enhance the advantages or strengthen the shortcomings, is good.

Especially his current defensive ability, there are still obvious shortcomings.

Most of the midfield defense last season relied on strength, speed and physical fitness.

In terms of real defensive skills, he is still far behind.

If these defensive masters are absorbed, the defensive ability will surely improve by leaps and bounds.

At that time, I will really be a top midfielder.

In fact, it is now.

Xia Xing is still not satisfied with his own strength and is still working hard, but in the eyes of his teammates, he is really a super existence.

Especially new teammates.

On the training field, when Xia Xing blocked two consecutive passes from Inle and Shinji Okazaki in the midfield, the empty-running Van Persie was stunned.

"Xia, aren't you an offensive player? Why are you so defensive?"

When facing Manchester United last season, Van Persie didn't have many chances to play, and he was basically recovering from his injuries.

And Xia Xing's performance on the field made Van Persie ignore his defensive ability.

Seeing it now is really eye-catching.

This young man is stronger than I imagined!

In defense, the new aids Fox and Ben Aruane are even more admirable.

Xia Xing's defensive cooperation in the midfield made them play very comfortably.

What a great back.

But when the formation and combination changed, they quickly felt the bitterness.

How does this guy have such a strong offensive ability?
Xia Xing dribbled the ball on the left, swayed three teammates away in a row, and shot into the net with one kick.

Young Chilwell has been fooled.

Xia Xing: "Dude, stand up and continue."

Chilwell: "Brother, I can't keep up with a half of your worth in my life, you are too fierce..."

In just a few days, Xia Xing's performance conquered his teammates.

Especially new teammates.

They have full confidence in Leicester City's new season!
With such a midfield core, we can even rush for the Premier League championship!
Xia Xing makes them admire, but there are also some people who make Xia Xing admire.

After a few days of confrontation, someone confronted Xia Xingmao.

French little Kante.

Facing Xia Xing, Kanter approached him consciously and took the initiative to defend.

And Xia Xing also felt the pressure on him.

Sometimes Xia Xing even passed Kanter, but soon lost his chance.

Either Kanter made up the defense quickly, or Kanter cleverly cut off the best offensive line.

In the end, Xia Xing often relied on the cooperation with his teammates to pass Kanter's level.

In the team's training, Kanter ranked first in the success rate of defending Xia Xing one-on-one.

And if you don't consider stealing the ball and just stick to Xia Xing, then Xia Xing will have a hard time breaking free.

Xia Xing was shocked in his heart.

This buddy is awesome!
With this defensive ability, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is in the top three of the Premier League!

Kanter's defensive ability has been recognized by Xia Xing, and even the whole team.

Especially in Ranieri's heart, Kanter has even become the second most popular existence after Xia Xing.

In several lineup changes, Kanter has also become the best midfielder in Ranieri's heart.

Assistant coach Shakespeare was satisfied: "Last season, we wanted to get a good midfielder to completely liberate Xia Xing, so that he can devote more energy to attacking. Now it's good, we finally have it, you now..."

Looking happily at his side, he suddenly froze for a moment.

Oh, that man is gone.

Still a little uncomfortable.

Ranieri saw through Shakespeare's mind, and he didn't mind, but patted him on the shoulder lightly with sincere eyes.

"Man, thanks for staying and helping me."

"Uh, it's not really helping you, I just hate Leicester City."

"I know there are several clubs poaching you this summer, as well as the position of head coach."

"I'm not suitable to be a head coach now, I'm too tired, I just like to be an assistant coach."

"Then it's not bad to be an assistant coach in a wealthy family."

"Forget it, it's an assistant coach anyway, it's great to be in Leicester City. I like it here."

"That's right, I like it here too!"

The two looked towards the direction of the pitch, where the soldiers of Leicester City were playing a training match.

This summer, they have maintained good physical condition and quickly entered the rhythm of the game.

In late July, Leicester City scheduled four friendlies.

The strength of the opponents is not strong, they are from the British Championship, the League, and the Portuguese Super League.

But the process is amazing.

Four games, two 1-0, two 2-1.

All small victories.

But let's just say you won or not.

After watching Leicester City's four friendly matches, the "Leicester Evening News" published a commentary.

"After watching these four games, I fully understand why Leicester City invited him.

"Because his coaching characteristics are too similar to Pearson's.

"It's all about running a lot in midfield and defending hard.

"It's all about attacking fast and defending on the counter.

"Even if the opponent's strength is not strong, Leicester City will defend steadily.

"It's really amazing.

"But Ranieri is a famous coach after all, and the changes he brought to Leicester City are not small.

"For example, the offensive data of these games, the team's effective passing rate is much higher than last season.

"And the cooperation of several new aids is also in place, it seems that Ranieri's means of meshing with the team is very high.

"For him, this kind of team with a good atmosphere, no big-name stars, and players who are united,

"It's the best stage for Ranieri.

"I even think that maybe this season Leicester City will bring us a bigger miracle!
"Let's wait and see!"

The greater miracle may be too difficult for Leicester City.

But this brand-new team really shines.

Leicester City fans who have watched these four friendly games have a feeling that their team is more grounded.

I didn't see any special changes, but I just felt more stable.

Especially when facing the siege of the opponent, they obviously made the fans more at ease.

This feeling is really good.

Four friendly matches, four consecutive victories, Leicester City is building a team according to Ranieri's ideas.

And Ranieri also followed his own principles.

As long as the game is won, everyone will eat pizza together after the game.

This has become the new rule of the team.

Well, very warm rules.
