Chapter 268
Benfica scored!

In the live broadcast room of Portuguese Sports TV, their commentator has been very calm.

Even if they were beaten by Leicester City, they did not panic.

The same goes for the Benfica players on the pitch.

what is this?
This is a powerful confidence.

A kind of confidence in the Champions League.

Even if you can press us to fight, we still have the confidence to win!

The progress of the game also confirmed their thoughts.

In the 25th minute of the game, Benfica's counterattack created a goal.

Taliska's long-range shot made Schmeichel helpless.

Leicester City's midfield defense was pierced in an instant.

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer shook his head regretfully: "It's such a pity. After attacking for so long without scoring a goal, the opponent just counterattacked and we lost the goal. What a pity..."

Carragher next to him had a calm expression. This time he didn't say anything sarcastic, but his tone was calm.

"As I said earlier, Leicester City were a little aggressive.

"As newcomers to the Champions League, they don't take the Champions League seriously.

"Facing opponents with different tactics and playing styles, and it is also a giant team in the national league,

"Leicester should have played more consistently, but they didn't.

"That's why they conceded the ball.

"And next, whether to continue to attack or defend,

"Leicester City have to make a choice.
"Difficult choice."

Carragher is right, Leicester City is facing a difficult choice.

Is it to continue to attack, or to retreat and defend appropriately?

This is a problem.

Xia Xing on the court frowned slightly.

He is also thinking about this problem.

And when he looked back towards the edge of the pitch, Ranieri was looking at him too.

The two looked at each other.

Ranieri nodded slightly at him and held out his thumb.

Xia Xing understood.

Ranieri is to let himself handle the next game.

As an experienced coach in the Champions League, Ranieri must have his own ideas.

But he actually handed over the dominance of the game to himself.

Xia Xing was infinitely grateful.

At the beginning of the season, Ranieri came home and invited himself to stay.

One of the conditions offered at that time was to give myself maximum freedom.

Not only at the economic level, but also at the tactical level.

As the core of the team's playmaker, Ranieri can criticize himself or change his tactics just now.

But he didn't.

Still choose to trust myself.

Xia Xing narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.

I will definitely live up to this trust!
Xia Xing didn't think it was a tactical problem after being unable to attack for a long time.

It is true that the team's offensive efficiency needs to be improved, and Cesar is like a godsend today.

If it was replaced by a Premier League giant, it would not be impossible to score a few goals just now.

Therefore, it is absolutely right to continue to attack!

The game continues, Leicester City is still attacking!
Even though there were two more breakthroughs on the side lanes, Xia Xing was still extremely decisive!
If you are timid, you can't win the game!
In the 39th minute of the game, Leicester City broke through again from the left.

Xia Xing created Longtan uniquely, connecting two people on the left side!
Both Samaris and Mecedo were shaken away by him!
Vardy and Van Persie in the middle are waiting!
But this time Xia Xing didn't pass it on to them directly!

Keep going!

Knocked an inverted triangle back on the bottom line!
Mahrez quickly followed and shot from the penalty area line!
The ball went straight into the bottom right corner of the goal!
The ball is in!
The cover of Vardy and Van Persie helped Xia Xing and Mahrez complete the pass and shoot cooperation!
1 is better than 1!

Leicester City finally equalized the score!
With a 1-1 draw, the Leicester City soldiers returned to the locker room.

In the dressing room, Ranieri praised the performance of the players.

He focused on explaining the characteristics of several opposing players, and gave guidance on the running positions of Mahrez and Vardy.

"Mahrez, your choice of cutting inside is correct. Today their left back is very fierce, you don't need to challenge him all the time. It is a good thing to go for a walk in the middle and cooperate more with Xia."

"Valdy, the opponent's marking of you in this game is very strong, even surpassing Van Persie. You can expand your running range and help your teammates create opportunities, so that the team is more likely to score goals."

After Ranieri mentioned a few players, his gaze went down again.

"xia...continue with your performance, come on!"

His teammates also looked forward to him.

Xia Xing nodded vigorously!

In the current Leicester City formation, everyone's expectations for Xia Xing have reached their peak.

Defensively, he's definitely one of the most active and hardest-running players around.

In offense, his assists are also the passes that his teammates are most looking forward to.

And when the team can't open up the situation, Xia Xing's shooting ability is also world-class, and he will often make the final decision.

In such an important game as the first match of the Champions League, Xia Xing's role is beyond doubt!

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and Benfica's offense also came up.

Leicester City took the lead in the first half, why couldn't we in the second half?

With this in mind, the Benfica team stormed and beat Leicester City!
But for Leicester City, they have already expected it.

In the first half you were able to defend against our opening onslaught, why couldn't we in the second half?

In the opening 20 minutes of the second half, Benfica's continuous attacks were firmly defended by Leicester City.

Until the 75th minute of the game.

Both sides made some substitution adjustments.

Benfica made a matchup substitution and directly used up three substitutions, and they made a desperate move.

Leicester City also replaced Cambiasso and Van Persie with Drinkwater and Shinji Okazaki.

Continue to strengthen the strength of the midfield.

And not long after the substitution, Leicester City won a good chance!

Drinkwater, who came off the bench, shoveled head-on and knocked down Jonas, who was breaking through with the ball!

After Kanter received the ball, he passed the ball diagonally to the front left!
Xia Xing catches the ball!

The moment the ball stopped, he flicked the outside of his instep!
Taking advantage of the trend, he passed Taliska who was up for grabs!
Samaris blocks the wing!
Xia Xing decisively dribbles the ball horizontally!

Accelerate along the middle road!
Seeing Jardl pressing forward, Xia Xing decisively chose to kick!

When teammates have already attracted the attention of the defense, long-range shots are an excellent choice at this time!

32 meters away from the goal, Xia Xing kicked and shot!

Power MAX!

Goalkeeper Cesar is ready!

But he was only ready to save, not ready to save such a violent shot!

The ball hit the upper right corner of the goal like a fired shell!
Cesar even just stretched out his hand, but he couldn't stop the ball from entering the net at all!
"2 to 1!

"Leicester City overtook the score!

"Brilliant shot!

"This is a great performance by xia!
"He has conquered the Premier League,
"Now Megatron is shaking the Stadium of Light again!

"The Champions League new star, shine in the first match!"
