Star Card System

After two games and the new players' running-in, Pearson is very satisfied with the three new players.

Kramaric made one assist and one goal in two games, and his performance was outstanding.

When Chris Wood left the team, Pearson was indeed a little worried about the depth of the forward bench.

But now, he is completely relieved.

Huth is even more stable and seamlessly joined the team.

Pearson has begun to consider letting him replace Konchesky and partner with captain Morgan.

Schwarzer also became the second goalkeeper in the team with his rich experience.

The three new players performed well and Leicester City won two consecutive victories.

Pearson is more confident about the intensive schedule in the next period of time.

In the 21st round of the Premier League on January 10, Leicester City will face Aston Villa at home.

Leicester City is determined to win this game.

A month ago, Leicester City was tied by Aston Villa in the 15th round of the Premier League and failed to get three points.

Facing this less powerful opponent, Leicester City naturally expects to get three points.

But they encountered some troubles in this game.

At the beginning of the game, Ulloa received a yellow card for his excessive tackle.

Three minutes later, Ulloa fell in the penalty area after fighting with his opponent, and the referee directly showed the second yellow card.

Two yellow cards turned into one red card!

Ulloa was sent off!

Although Pearson and Shakespeare on the sidelines protested loudly, and the Leicester City players on the field kept complaining, the referee remained unmoved.

In the end, Leicester City played 10 against 11 in just the tenth minute of the game.

This made it very difficult for them to play the next game.

Misfortunes never come alone.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Leicester City hit the back of Konchesky's head in a corner kick defense and accidentally bounced into the net.

0 to 1.

Leicester City lost the ball.

With one less player and a goal lost, Leicester City was in trouble.

In the next period of time, Leicester City launched a wave of counterattacks.

But before the end of the first half, they still failed to equalize the score.

In the second half, Pearson made two substitutions.

He replaced veteran Cambiasso with Albrighton.

He replaced Simpson with Moore.

These two substitutions were very targeted, both using players with stronger attacking power and better physical fitness.

Pearson knew very well that the team was now behind, and it would become more and more difficult to play because of physical fitness.

When the game was 70 or 80 minutes, the players' physical fitness would seriously decline, and there would be no chance of equalizing at that time.

It's better to fight now!

After Albrighton came on the court, Pearson changed the formation to 4-3-2.

Xia Xing was pushed up and closer to the goal.

Although this change of formation is dangerous, it is also a risk that must be taken.

Facts have proved that the greater the risk, the greater the benefit.

In the 55th minute of the game, Albrighton accelerated along the left sprint!

Passed to Xia Xing horizontally!

Xia Xing passed the ball to the left front without stopping!

Albrighton received the ball!

Wonderful two-on-one!

Facing the defense, Albrighton sprinted decisively and used his speed to break through the opponent's side defense!

At the edge of the penalty area, he kicked the ball decisively!

Vardy poked the ball near the penalty spot!

The ball was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper with his legs!

But it's not over yet!

Xia Xing outside the penalty area accurately found the second point!

Without stopping the ball, he volleyed it in the air!

The ball drew a strange arc and went straight into the upper right corner of the goal!

The ball went in!

1 to 1!

Leicester City finally tied the score!

Perfect!

The joy of Leicester City fans has not ended yet.

Five minutes later, Albrighton broke through the left again!

This time he simply knocked the ball back to Xia Xing at the top of the penalty area!

Because Vardy's stirring in the penalty area interfered with the defense!

Xia Xing easily kicked the ball!

The ball went straight into the lower left corner of the goal!

2 to 1!

Leicester City scored another goal!

Xia Xing scored another goal!

Within five minutes, Xia Xing scored twice!

His performance was so wonderful!

Even Carragher in the live broadcast room couldn't help but say: "Xia shouldn't play in the midfield, he is also very good as a striker."

Alan Shearer agreed: "Yes, his offensive ability is too strong. Except for not being good at heading, he has all the other qualities of a striker."

Leicester City's morale was boosted by two goals in a row.

Then there was another wave of fierce attacks, and Vardy and Drinkwater's shots almost broke the net.

However, by the 75th minute of the game, Leicester City's state was obviously weakened.

After all, they had been one man short since the beginning of the game, and they had been rushing forward with all their strength in the attack just now.

Now their physical strength has dropped drastically, and they can't attack anymore.

Not only that, but they also have difficulty defending.

Xia Xing simply withdrew to defend completely, using large-area running to assist his teammates.

But several defenses were still stumbling.

Until the 88th minute of the game, they finally couldn't hold on.

In a scuffle in the penalty area, the opponent's forward's shot rolled into the dead corner.

Schmeichel was powerless.

2-2.

Leicester City was equalized by the opponent at the last moment.

This score also remained until the end of the game.

Despite this, Pearson on the sidelines still felt lucky.

If the extra time was longer, perhaps the team might even have been defeated.

In the live broadcast room, Carragher praised Aston Villa's performance.

"They were really good for equalizing at the last moment!"

Alan Shearer curled his lips: "They played with one more player most of the time. In this situation, the opponent scored two goals in a row, and they equalized the score at the last moment. What is there to praise?"

Carragher: "..."

Alan Shearer: "Compared to Aston Villa, Leicester City is good! Since they were promoted to the Premier League this season, they have been unbeaten in 20 games! What an amazing result! With limited bench depth and the team fighting on multiple fronts, they can still play such a great game in the Premier League. They deserve applause and praise!"

Carragher wanted to refute a few more words, but he opened his mouth and didn't speak.

Yes, a newly promoted team has not lost in the league so far, this result is really a bit awesome.

This weekend, in countless Premier League games, Leicester City played one less and almost won the game, and they were praised by fans again.

How far can Leicester City go this season?

This is something everyone is looking forward to.

However, the heat of the league this weekend only lasted for one day.

Because two days later, the 2014 FIFA Ballon d'Or ceremony attracted the attention of the world.

C Ronaldo, Messi, Neuer...

Countless stars will compete for the highest honor in world football in 2014.

Will the two best players with better league performance win the award, or will the World Cup champions take the stage?

Everyone is waiting to see.

For Leicester City, this selection is destined to be extraordinary.

Because this is the only Ballon d'Or ceremony related to Leicester City!
