Star Card System

Leicester City stumbled out of the Europa League group stage, and thought that the knockout stage would usher in a more brutal battle.

Unexpectedly, it won so easily.

Well, it was a good draw.

In the draw for the quarter-finals a few days later, Leicester City drew a good draw again.

This time they will face Zenit.

Although this opponent is not weak, it is not a top giant in the five major leagues after all, and Leicester City is confident that it can compete with the opponent.

However, what is in front of them at this moment is a very important game.

League Cup final!

The away game ended on February 27, and the Leicester City team took the time to rest.

Fortunately, most of the main players were rested, so the impact of the travel fatigue was not great.

Pearson's main concern is Xia Xing, Morgan and Schmeichel, after all, they just played in the Europa League.

Everything is fine.

Morgan and Schmeichel were not under much pressure in the last game. After all, the Bern Young Boys team had no energy to attack in the second half, so Leicester City's defense was relatively relaxed.

Xia Xing was also replaced after helping the team to a 2-1 lead.

He is in good physical condition now.

So Leicester City is bound to win this League Cup final!

Looking forward to reaching the top!

For Xia Xing, there are new gains recently.

It has been 10 days since I got the S-level Giggs card, and the accumulation of five hours a day has been completed!

[After the accumulation of S-level Giggs time is completed, should the host absorb it directly or put it into the "card pool"? ]

Absorb it directly!

Xia Xing has now discovered the pattern. This kind of characteristic player has a high probability of having star skills!

Five minutes later, it was as he expected.

[The current physical attribute data of the host (Xia Xing) is as follows (single item full score 100 points):]

[Offense: Shooting, 89. Passing, 85. Ball control, 90. Vision, 71. Positioning, 82. Set-piece, 84. ]

[Body: Speed, 87. Explosive power, 89. Strength, 85. Bounce, 62. Physical fitness, 95. Reaction, 90. ]

[Defense: Marking, 51. Steal, 85. Goalkeeping, 13. ]

[Star skills: 1. Heavy bombardment (SS level). 2. Substitute surprise (S level). 3. King's dominance (S level). ]

[Star skills: 4. Tactical master (SS level). 5. Passing master (S level). 6. One-upmanship (S level). ]

[Overall ability assessment: A level. ]

[Card pool: 1. Baggio (SS level). 2. Puskas (SS level). ]

As expected!

Added a new star skill - S-level "One-upmanship"!

For Xia Xing who likes to break through on the left, this skill is quite powerful!

It's great to get a new skill before the League Cup final!

March 2, evening, Wembley Stadium, London.

Leicester City played with all their main players, and they faced the London local team Tottenham Hotspur.

In this game, Tottenham lined up their 4-2-3-1 formation.

The goalkeeper was Frenchman Lori.

The four defenders were Ben Davies, Vertonghen, Fazio, and Dier.

The two defensive midfielders were Paulinho and Ryan Mason.

The three attacking midfielders were Dembele, Eriksson, and Lamela.

The center forward was Harry Kane.

The bench also had strong players such as Shazli, Soldado, Kirikesh, Bentaleb, Danny Rose, and Adebayor.

But in terms of the depth of the lineup, Tottenham far exceeded Leicester City.

Especially the strength of the midfield players, which was absolutely rich in the lineup.

Eriksson was good at passing and controlling, and was the core of Tottenham's midfield organization.

Lamela had excellent personal skills and his dribbling level was first-class in the Premier League.

Paulinho had defense, offense, and a set of forward shots.

Dembele was also a dribbling expert with strong offensive ability.

Especially with Harry Kane, England's top striker, on the front line.

After Rooney gradually faded out of the England national team, Harry Kane has become the new hope of England's front line.

Standing in the middle of the court, Vardy gritted his teeth.

Mahrez patted his shoulder: "What's wrong with you?"

"I get angry when I think of the last game!" Vardy kicked the grass hard.

He was injured by Lamela in the last game and unfortunately retired.

Xia Xing nodded: "Yes, we had a lot of opportunities in that game. If you were on the court, the result would definitely not be 0-0."

Vardy: "We must beat them in this game!"

Mahrez: "We must beat them!"

Xia Xing didn't say anything, but punched hard.

The referee whistled and the game began!

Leicester City still used the familiar 4-4-2 formation and kept its footing conservatively at the beginning.

And Tottenham did not make any rash advances in this game. They had the opportunity to control the ball in the midfield, waiting for the opportunity to advance and observe Leicester City.

Neither side had any offensive performance in the first ten minutes, and there was not even a single shot.

From the 11th minute, Tottenham suddenly exerted their strength!

They seemed to have seen through Leicester City's defense and were confident.

The ball was at the feet of Paulinho, the defensive midfielder, and the Brazilian midfielder suddenly dribbled forward!

Although he was in the defensive midfielder position in this game, his frequent forward insertions and running made his position very flexible.

Veteran Cambiasso did not keep up with the speed!

Paulinho passed the ball to Dembele!

Dembele pulled the ball to avoid Mahrez's pressing!

Another diagonal pass to the middle!

Paulinho responded to the ball!

But he didn't touch the ball!

Instead, he bypassed the ball and went straight into the penalty area!

Eriksson behind him received the ball!

He made a clever lob pass!

Paulinho volleyed in the penalty area!

The ball hit the crossbar and flew into the stands!

Just a little bit!

The Leicester City fans in the stands exclaimed.

I didn't expect Tottenham's first shot today to be so threatening!

And Paulinho's forward run was so wonderful!

Carragher in the live broadcast room kept praising.

"This Tottenham team is really full of talents. In addition to Kane and Eriksson's pillar connection, Paulinho's comprehensive skills are also a major reliance of Tottenham. And Lamela, he hasn't performed his extraordinary skills in this game."

Before he finished speaking, Lamela's performance began.

The ball was passed to Lamela's feet, and he suddenly started!

The agile movement directly passed Vardy who was actively grabbing!

In the last game, Vardy was injured by Lamela's tackle. He didn't like this Argentine kid very much!

But because of his impatience, Vardy's steal failed, and he snatched Drinkwater's position instead.

Lamela saw that there was space in front, so he sprinted with the ball decisively!

But he just took two steps and was knocked down by someone on the side!

It was Xia Xing!

He sprinted quickly to fill the position and made a decisive tackle!

This time the tackle touched the ball first, so it was not a foul!

Just before the ball went out of bounds, Xia Xing hooked it with his foot and quickly poked it forward!

The ball flew accurately to Vardy!

At this time, because of Lamela's forward insertion, the whole Tottenham team had started the speed!

The defense was empty!

Vardy was overjoyed to receive the ball!

Without hesitation, he sprinted with the ball!

Ben Davies rushed to steal!

But Vardy accelerated and passed by him!

Fazio blocked Vardy's forward angle!

Vardy cleverly flicked sideways and flashed out of the angle!

Shoot!

The ball goes into the corner!

1-0!

Leicester City opens the scoring and breaks the deadlock!
