Chapter 226 Goodbye, Veteran

25-year-old Alex Vidal has a strong intercepting ability.

The right side he guards is the most stable link for Sevilla this season.

No one else.

Just now, Xia Xing sprinted with the ball, but he did not rush to grab it, but waited for the opportunity.

Seeing Xia Xing dribbling the ball to the left and avoiding Mbia, he found that the opportunity had come!

He made a fierce tackle and went straight to the ball!

Xia Xing was shocked!

Danger!

If he forced his foot to control the ball, he might get injured!

But if he avoided it, he would definitely be counterattacked!

The team was in danger!

In a flash, Xia Xing made a choice!

He sprinted quickly, lightly lifted it with his toes, and then jumped up!

He even felt that the air Vidal passed by pierced his calf!

However, he dodged it!

Perfect dodge!

After the reaction attribute became 90, Xia Xing's reaction speed was obviously much faster!

Vidal shoveled it!

At this time, there was an open space in front of Xia Xing!

He accelerated with the ball without hesitation!

At this time, there was chaos in the Sevilla penalty area!

Central defender Carrizo pressed forward!

Another central defender Kovojejcak defended Vardy!

Left back Tremulina followed Ulloa closely, not letting Ulloa go forward to support!

Not to mention Vardy changing direction and speeding up!

After a game, they knew Vardy's speed very well.

If he was allowed to speed up, it would be extremely difficult to defend!

And if Ulloa was allowed to go forward to support, it would be even more dangerous!

At this time, Vardy and Ulloa started at the same time!

They saw Xia Xing kick!

Facing Carrizo's defense, Xia Xing did not force his way past him, he decisively passed the ball!

Vardy rushed to meet the ball!

However, the ball seemed to be a little too big, and it was a half-high ball...

Vardy failed to touch the ball, and Ulloa was also a step slower.

However, the two defenders did not dare to stretch their feet.

This kind of clearance in front of the goal can easily cause an own goal...

Just when the ball flew to the back point, Mahrez arrived quickly!

At the moment when the ball was about to go out of bounds, he kicked it with a lob!

The ball was kicked back to the penalty area on the baseline!

Ulloa, who had just moved far away, was in the right position!

Kick and volley!

The ball went straight into the far corner of the goal!

1 to 1!

Leicester City scored a goal!

This goal is so important!

It was wonderful!

The away fans in the stands cheered wildly!

Their team finally equalized the score!

An important away goal was scored!

In the end, Leicester City tied the game away from home and got a score of 1 to 1.

They were very satisfied with this score.

With such a strong opponent and home advantage, it was a good result.

Returning to Leicester City, three days later in the 36th round of the Premier League, Leicester City played against Southampton at home.

At the King Power Stadium, Leicester City's rotation players ended the battle with a neat 2-0 and got three points.

Andy King and James' goals helped the team maintain the fight for the fourth place in the league.

There is still one point, two league games, and there is still a chance!

Three days later, also at the King Power Stadium, Leicester City ushered in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals.

Sevilla, unwilling to draw at home, came in full force, looking forward to another big win.

Even at home, Leicester City still maintained a solid defense.

Through the last game, Leicester City is already very clear about the opponent's situation, especially the offensive routine.

In this game, Pearson arranged a 4-5-1 formation, which is obviously a defensive counterattack.

What's wrong with the home advantage?

We still defend!

This conservative style of play made some Leicester City players disagree, but it did have a miraculous effect.

Because Sevilla didn't expect it.

Just an away goal advantage, dare to defend like this?

Can it work?

Pearson told them with facts - it can be done!

Under the strict defense of many Leicester City defenders, Sevilla felt that it was more difficult to attack today than in the previous game.

Especially in the midfield.

Except for Mahrez who was still the main attacker, even Xia Xing almost retreated to the penalty area.

In this game, Pearson gave him a death order - he must defend!

In the penalty area, Bacca was stared at by captain Morgan.

The routes of Reyes and Vitolo on both sides were also strangled.

Banega couldn't get past Cambiasso's defense at all.

And Xia Xing's large-scale sweep made Sevilla players a little desperate.

A Xia Xing who completely gave up the attack was really a top midfielder!

Neither side scored in the first half, and the score was 0-0.

In the second half, Leicester City still defended.

Sevilla made continuous substitutions and the formation became 3-3-4.

Leicester City responded to all changes with the same attitude.

In fact, Xia Xing found that Sevilla had revealed a flaw.

According to his idea, he could rush up and steal a goal now.

But thinking of Pearson's arrangement before the game, he stopped.

Pearson is a conservative coach. His arrangement for this game is to defend and not let the opponent score.

Even if he has other ideas, he must respect the coach's arrangement.

And now there is only one step away from the end of the game.

The game came to the 86th minute, and Sevilla attacked from the left.

Gameiro, who had just come on as a substitute, suddenly accelerated and sprinted!

He had just come on the field, and the Leicester City defenders were not used to it yet!

He rushed directly into the penalty area!

If he went further in, Leicester City would be in danger!

At this moment, Cambiasso tried his best to chase back. Although he couldn't keep up, he decisively reached out and pulled him down!

The referee blew the whistle!

Red card!

This tactical foul was too obvious!

Less than one meter away from the penalty area, Cambiasso's foul blocked Gameiro's attack!

However, he also lost the opportunity to continue the game.

After he pulled down his opponent, he didn't even look at the referee, and walked down directly.

It must be a red card, no need to think about it.

Walking slowly, he looked up at the sky.

Alas, what a pity.

At the end of this season, he will leave Leicester City.

This is his last season in Leicester City.

This season, he is very happy.

He is very excited to be able to walk here with a newly promoted team.

But unfortunately, I couldn't stand on the final field with the team.

Wherever Cambiasso walked, Leicester City players came forward to hug him.

Xia Xing even ran over from the other side and hugged Cambiasso tightly.

The Argentine midfielder looked at Xia Xing with expectation in his eyes.

"Xia, I can only help the team get here. The rest of the way, you have to go by yourself."

"Senior, don't say that. Without your decisive foul, the team would have lost the ball long ago! Losing the ball at this time is almost a situation of inevitable defeat..."

"Xia, I feel relieved to have you here. Come on! Bring me a Europa League medal! I have never won the Europa League in my life! Haha."

Cambiasso left the field with a smile, and the stands applauded like thunder!

Goodbye veteran!

Goodbye hero!
