Chapter 148 Midfield Genius

"Four consecutive Premier League wins"!

The Leicester Evening News used large fonts to put the headline on the front page.

Countless fans rushed to buy it.

“We’ve won four games in a row!”

Facing the reporter's interview, the Blue Fox fans had the word pride written all over their faces.

Yes, being able to win four consecutive Premier League wins as a newly promoted team, and the opponents they won were not weak.

Everton, Chelsea, Arsenal, Stoke City.

They were all top ten teams in the Premier League last season, and they are all very strong.

But Leicester City had the last laugh.

This is enough to prove their strength.

"Who would have thought that after four rounds the top spot in the Premier League would be the team that has been promoted?"

The Times said so.

"The Guardian" also praised Leicester City: "I don't know what the future will be like for Leicester City and how long their victory will last, but at least they are now standing at the top of the Premier League! This is enough to make their fans happy. long time!"

The Daily Telegraph even said bluntly: "Now Leicester City can look forward to their European war!"

Yes, everyone at Leicester City is indeed looking forward to the European war.

They are about to meet their first opponent in the Europa League group stage.

Wolfsburg.

As fifth in the Bundesliga last season, Wolfsburg is very strong.

With their crisp offense, they almost made it into the top four last season.

Since the start of this season, they have also ushered in a wave of winning streak and are currently ranked first in the league.

Even Bayern can only succumb to it.

The most powerful part of this Bundesliga giant is their midfield.

Especially the young Belgian genius De Bruyne.

In the winter of 2012, 19-year-old Belgian teenager De Bruyne was recruited by Chelsea.

A transfer fee of 8 million euros was spent at that time.

Facts have proved that for a team like Chelsea that is not short of money, 8 million euros is only a small investment.

In the summer of 2012, he was loaned to Werder Bremen.

In just one season, he became one of the brightest rising stars in the Bundesliga.

But after returning from loan, he did not get the starting position he wanted.

After half a year, De Bruyne finally chose to return to the Bundesliga and join Wolfsburg for 22 million euros.

Joining Wolfsburg is a life-threatening choice for De Bruyne.

He must play well here and prove his worth!

When I joined the team, the team was only ranked outside the 10th place.

In just half a season, he led the team to fifth place.

16 appearances, 3 goals and 6 assists, which is a very good result.

And more importantly than this, he single-handedly revitalized the team's offensive line.

This season he has been completely established as the team's core midfielder.

In the tactical analysis room, Pearson explained Wolfsburg's formation and play style to the team.

“Wolfsburg’s offense is very simple, without too many bells and whistles.

“Forward Dost is currently the team’s top scorer, Caligiuri and Olic are also quite satisfactory.

“But the strongest player in this team is not the forwards, but the midfielders.

"Or rather, De Bruyne.

“As the tactical core of the team, De Bruyne is very strong.

“As long as we can guard him in this game, we are basically half successful.

"Drinkwater, Albrighton,

"In this game, you two are guarding De Bruyne together.

"I would rather let him pass the ball to other teammates,

"We can't give him a chance to pass the ball and shoot forward!"

Arranging two midfielders to mark the opponent's midfielder. Although Pearson's arrangement is conservative, no one questions it.

Looking at the footage on the video, everyone was amazed by De Bruyne's passing.

Mahrez: "The pass he just made was amazing! I can't compare with it!"

Vardy: "It's really rare to make you feel ashamed."

Mahrez: "To be honest, his passing is really strong."

Drinkwater: "Yeah, not only accurate, but also very imaginative, unexpected and difficult to defend."

Everyone was talking about it, but Xia Xing said nothing and was still observing De Bruyne on the video screen.

Looking at De Bruyne, Xia Xing suddenly had a feeling.

De Laet poked him: "Xia, what are you thinking about?"

Xia Xing frowned: "I think his playing style is like Zidane's, and his shooting feel is very similar to Cantona's."

James smiled: "Xia, it sounds like you have played football with Zidane and Cantona."

Drinkwater immediately criticized: "Xia did play with Zidane. Don't be unconvinced at Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement game."

James: "Then Cantona..."

De Laet: "How do you know that Cantona has not returned to the Manchester United youth training camp? Maybe he actually played football with Cantona."

The three of them quarreled with each other, but Xia Xing said nothing.

How could they possibly know that Xia Xing plays football with Zidane and Cantona every day.

So Xia Xing feels very accurate.

De Bruyne's ball control is very stable, and although he doesn't have a very eye-catching dribbling, he is very practical.

And his passing is very subtle and crisp, which is very similar to Zidane's style of play.

And De Bruyne often gets close to the goal and shoots explosively from outside the penalty area.

This is very similar to Cantona.

Don't look at him as only 22 years old, but his talent is visible to the naked eye.

In terms of overall strength, Xia Xing may even feel inferior.

Especially the wonderful pass, it's really great.

Xia Xing's current pass score is 85. If we follow this reference, De Bruyne is at least over 90, or even 95!

Definitely a genius, a super genius!

I really don't know why Chelsea gave up this super genius.

"Xia!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Pearson calling him, Xia Xing looked at Pearson.

"Xia, you have to continue to increase your running distance in this game, and try to make up for the gaps left by Drinkwater and Albrighton's defensive position."

"Good!"

"But I still look forward to your performance in the offense. Although De Bruyne is very strong, I think you are better!"

Pearson rarely praises people, but Xia Xing is an exception.

Since the start of this season, he has no idea how many times he has praised Xia Xing.

Yes, with such an excellent state, it is not too much to praise him as many times as possible.

Hearing Pearson's praise of Xia Xing, his teammates also agreed.

Vardy: "Xia, let's continue to work together in this game, we will definitely beat Wolfsburg!"

Mahrez: "Let's fly on both wings and let Wolfsburg see that in addition to Bayern's Ribery combination, there is also a world-class combination!"

Morgan: "Xia, we look forward to your continued outbreak!"

Schmeichel: "I'm optimistic about you!"

In the current Leicester City lineup, everyone's expectations for Xia Xing are getting higher and higher.

Xia Xing looked at the coach and teammates and nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, I will go all out in this game!

"This is our first European game,

"It will definitely be our first European victory!"
