Although the "Leicester Evening News" is only a city-level media with little attention, its sales have surged recently.

In addition to the rising tide of Leicester City's performance, it has a lot to do with their professional analysis.

Now a lot of football is paying more and more attention to Leicester City.

A small team can create miracles.

This is the kind of story that many people would like to see.

This was the "Miracle of Kaiserslautern".

Now, Leicester City is also performing their miracle.

Winning against Norwich City, everyone in Leicester City is very happy.

Pearson was overjoyed to see many substitute players making gains.

He has always been serious, but he often has a smile on his face recently.

"It's a great win."

"Yes, especially the substitute players performed very well, which is great."

"But don't forget, four of the five goals came from xia's assists."

"Yes, Xia is definitely the most important link in Leicester City's current formation."

"Yes, he is even more important than the two captains."

"How about letting him rest in the next game?"

"It should be so!"

After the two discussed it, they found Xia Xing privately and told him that they were going to let him take turns.

Xia Xing strongly protested!

"Coach, I demand to start the game! And I want to play the whole game!"

If someone else had spoken to Pearson like this, Pearson would have become anxious.

But facing Xia Xing, how could Pearson be willing to criticize him?

"Xia, it's not that I won't let you appear, but I hope you have a good rest."

"I am not tired!"

"Look, we have been fighting continuously recently, and you have always started and played the whole 90 minutes. You will definitely be tired at some point."

"I'm not tired."

"On the 18th we played Wolfsburg, on the 21st we faced Manchester United, and on the 24th we beat Norwich City. On the 27th, we will face the sixth round of the Premier League. We have played 4 games in these 10 days. The frequency and intensity are too high, you really can’t insist on it.”

"Coach, let me start, I'm fine."

"You play every game, when do you take a break?"

"I have already thought about it. I will take a rest after playing a few more games."

"Huh? How many more games?"

"Yes, we will play Crystal Palace on September 27, the second leg of the Europa League on September 30, and Burnley on October 4. After these two Premier League games and one Europa League game are over, the next step is the national game. On the day of the team game, I will be fine and can rest.”

"..."

"Coach, I'm fine, let me start!"

"Okay, I promise you..."

Xia Xing was so insistent that Pearson couldn't say anything.

But to be honest, Xia Xing's physical ability is really amazing.

Even the strict physical fitness coach praised Xia Xing, according to his words.

"I almost want to dissect Xia to see what the structure of his body is."

If you want to persist, let him continue playing.

On September 27, Xia Xing was still in Leicester City's away lineup.

This time their opponent is Crystal Palace, and Leicester City plays with almost all their main players.

Thanks to the rest, the whole team is in good condition.

From the first minute of this game, they dominated Crystal Palace.

However, he has never been able to score a goal.

The first half ended in a goalless draw.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, but Leicester City still found it difficult to score.

Facing the iron barrel array set up by Crystal Palace, Leicester City could not attack for a long time.

Whether it's Mahrez's dribbling, long-range shot, Vardy's shot in the penalty area, or Drinkwater's back-row shot.

Of course, Xia Xing's forward shot is definitely indispensable.

But they failed to score.

Facing the iron barrel formation in this game, Leicester City, which has always been good at fast breaks this season, suddenly had nothing to do.

When a dog bites a hedgehog, he has no choice but to bite him.

Not only did they fail to score, they almost conceded one.

In the 77th minute of the game, Leicester City counterattacked too high, and Crystal Palace suddenly counterattacked!

The three forwards sprinted quickly and penetrated Leicester City's defense!

Push into the far corner of the goal!

With Schmeichel already out of position, Xia Xing appeared in the far corner!

He cleared the ball on the goal line!

He has made a meritorious service!

If this goal is scored, then Leicester City will be in trouble!

Leicester City, which escaped the disaster, finally ushered in the aftermath.

It wasn't until the 85th minute of the game that they finally broke the deadlock.

Xia Xing passed a set ball from the right side of the frontcourt. In the melee, Nugent, who came on as a substitute, shot into the net.

1 to 0!

Leicester City finally scored!

It’s not easy!

In the end, it was with this goal that Leicester City won with difficulty.

Sixth league 3 points!

The Premier League winning streak continues!

On the bus back after the game, Pearson called Xia Xing to his side and spoke to him seriously.

“When I was talking to you the other day, I was confident about this game.

“I think it’s just Crystal Palace and we can definitely win.

“Even if you’re not here, we’ll have no problem.

“But it turned out that I was overconfident.

"If it weren't for your assist, it might be difficult for us to win this game.

"If it weren't for your goal line clearance, maybe we would have fallen behind.

"The momentum is affected, and there may not even be a final chance to win.

"All in all, xia, you did a great job today.

"I only have one request for you now -

"Stay healthy! Don't get hurt!

"please!"
