Chapter 264: You have to sacrifice to gain

Leading 2-1, Leicester City regained the advantage of the game.

Before the end of the first half, there was another attack in the middle.

This time, Xia Xing and Drinkwater played two consecutive two-on-ones.

Drinkwater dribbled forward!

Tottenham's attention was on the wing of Leicester City, and the middle was empty!

35 meters away from the goal, Drinkwater took a long shot!

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

Lori was powerless!

3-1!

Leicester City scored another goal!

With a two-goal lead, Leicester City was able to relax a little during the halftime break.

After the start of the second half, Tottenham made substitutions.

They sent young Ali and Son Heung-min, letting the two separate on the left and right to form three forwards to assist Kane.

But unexpectedly, it took only ten minutes for the two to score a goal together!

This time, Kane was the pillar in the frontcourt, received Lamela's pass, and knocked it to his side!

Ali received the ball and changed direction in the penalty area!

He saw Kane running to meet him, and the defensive attention of many Leicester City players was also on him.

He simply passed the ball to the far end of the penalty area!

Looking for Son Heung-min!

The Korean striker quickly moved forward and dribbled back the moment he received the ball!

He directly avoided Simpson's defense!

Seizing the angle, he kicked and shot!

The ball went straight into the dead corner!

3 to 2!

Tottenham scored a goal!

In the next period of time, Tottenham began to take the initiative.

Son Heung-min relied on his speed advantage to sprint quickly and attack Leicester City's defense back and forth.

And Ali, with his agility and technology, also caused a lot of trouble for Leicester City.

If it weren't for Kante's excellent defense, Leicester City might be in trouble.

At the critical moment when the team was in danger, Xia Xing stood up.

On the left side, Fox steadily tackled Lamela.

This defense was very important.

During this period, De Laet's state has fluctuated a bit. Fox has gradually replaced him and secured his position as the main player.

From the pass after this stable tackle, it can be seen that his offensive and defensive abilities are indeed more comprehensive than De Laet.

Even Xia Xing couldn't help but admire him secretly.

Beautiful pass!

After receiving the ball, Xia Xing did not hesitate and started quickly!

A passer-by on the left has begun!

The double-teaming of Dembele and Dale is extremely fierce!

They know Xia Xing's strength very well. If he lets him pass, it will be dangerous!

Even if he gets a card, he won't let him pass!

But is it so easy to defend Xia Xing?

Facing the defense of the two, Xia Xing flicked the ball to the right lightly!

The ball passed between Dale's legs!

Xia Xing bypassed Dale from behind, continued to diagonally move to the left front, and returned to the side to accelerate!

Dembele was knocked down by Dale, and both of them lost the ability to continue chasing!

Kyle Walker in front of him followed closely!

His speed is super fast!

Definitely not inferior to Xia Xing!

And he is strong enough!

A healthy Kyle Walker is definitely at the level of the world's top full-back!

However, Xia Xing has already rushed up, and now he has the advantage!

Facing Kyle Walker, Xia Xing did not slow down, and suddenly stopped!

Cut inside!

Sprint directly to the penalty area in front of the right!

Kyle Walker was stunned for a moment, and then quickly chased back!

He can still catch up!

However, Xia Xing has no time to wait for him!

On the penalty area line, he kicked and shot!

The ball hit the upper left corner of the goal!

Lori just stretched out his hand, and he didn't even have time to save it!

The ball went into the net!

4 to 2!

Leicester City scored another goal!

Continue to expand the lead!

The King Power Stadium was filled with applause, and countless fans shouted Xia Xing's name loudly!

Now the Leicester City soldiers can also breathe a sigh of relief.

And this goal extinguished the confidence that Tottenham had just ignited.

For a period of time, Tottenham's play was obviously out of order.

Although many players are still trying to score goals, they still lack cohesion.

This Tottenham team has many talented players, but they just can't play a very good overall effect.

In the end, Leicester City won this game 4-2 at home.

With three points in hand, the league continues to lead the table.

After this game, Leicester City ushered in a new battlefield this season.

In the second round of the League Cup, Leicester City played away against Bury.

This Championship team is very weak, and Leicester City sent out all substitutes.

However, this all-substitute lineup has nothing to do with the strength of the opponent.

In the team's tactical training room, Ranieri explained his goals and directions for this season to the players.

"This season our lineup is very strong,

"You are the best Premier League team in my mind!

"And our bench depth is also good,

"The rotation players also played at the top level.

"But even so, I still plan to give up some games.

"It can't be said to be giving up, it should be said that it is a strategic adjustment of the degree of attention.

"This is our first time playing in the Champions League, I hope to make a breakthrough,

"Go as far as you can.

"And in the Premier League, I hope to go all out!

"Last season you finished fifth in the Premier League, which was great.

"This season I hope to go one step further and firmly enter the top four of the Premier League,

"This is my minimum requirement.

"We can even create miracles!"

"Why not?

"So, in this season's domestic cup games, I hope to let more rotations and young players play,

"I don't care about the results of these games, I only care whether you can show your spirit.

"Give young players more opportunities,

"On the stage of the League Cup and FA Cup. ”

Ranieri said so, and he did so.

On August 26, Leicester City played away against Bury.

Except for Xia Xing, the other players in this game were all substitutes and young players.

For example, the young defender Chilwell got the chance to start.

Even for Xia Xing, Ranieri asked him to play only 45 minutes.

Facing a Championship team, even with a substitute lineup, Leicester City was enough.

In the first half, Leicester City pressed the opponent and scored two goals in a row.

Xia Xing assisted Kramaric and Konokaite respectively, helping the two substitute forwards to score a goal each.

The score of 2-0 was maintained until the halftime.

Seeing that the situation was stable, Xia Xing also left the field steadily.

But unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly in the second half. .

The young Chilwell was actually given a red card for a tackle in the penalty area!

The opponent scored a penalty kick!

2-1, Bury scored a goal!

Leicester City, who was one man short, was a little flustered.

Especially with Xia Xing's departure, the team completely lost its backbone.

Soon, they lost two more goals.

2-3.

Leicester City was completely defeated by the opponent.

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle, Bury, who won the game unexpectedly, cheered.

The Leicester City players were extremely disappointed.

However, Ranieri on the sidelines did not seem to care so much.

He hugged and shook hands with the players who left the field one by one.

Even if they lost, it was within his expectations and within his acceptance range.
