Star Card System

On November 29, Leicester City defeated Manchester United 4-1.

After this game, Leicester City continued their huge lead.

Arsenal and Tottenham behind them have long been invisible.

With a gap of nearly ten points, Leicester City can really look forward to the league championship this season.

However, when a reporter asked Ranieri about his goal this season, he did not answer directly.

"I hope the players can show their style, so that's good. I don't pay much attention to the results."

Haha.

You don't pay attention to the results?

Who would believe it?

Anyway, for Leicester City, everything is possible this season.

After this game, Leicester City's next Premier League opponent is Swansea.

The opponent is not strong, and Ranieri still arranged a rotation lineup.

But this time, Ranieri did not bring Xia Xing.

Because of Xia Xing's calf injury.

Although the problem is not big, Ranieri still hopes to let Xia Xing rest.

Even if Xia Xing's physical fitness is fine, Ranieri hopes that he can relax appropriately.

Xia Xing agreed.

Unexpectedly, with half of the main players present, Leicester City actually lost the game.

Although Xia Xing, Kante, Vardy and Mahrez were not present, Drinkwater, Van Persie and other players were all present.

Swansea defended tightly and set up an iron bucket formation.

In the end, they scored a goal with a corner kick and won a small victory over Leicester City at home.

Although they lost a game, it did not affect the mood of Leicester City's soldiers.

Because they are going all out to prepare for the next game.

On December 9, at the King Power Stadium, Leicester City will usher in the last round of the Champions League group stage this season.

Here, Leicester City and Benfica will face a life-and-death battle.

At present, the situation of qualifying for the group is still unclear, and even the first place in the group may change.

Real Madrid has 10 points, Benfica and Leicester City have 8 points, and Malmö is at the bottom with 1 point.

In the last round of the game, Real Madrid will play against Malmö. If Real Madrid loses unexpectedly, it is very likely to slip to the second place in the group.

The situation in the match between Benfica and Leicester City is even clearer. Whoever wins will advance.

As the side with fewer goals, Leicester City must win, even a draw is not acceptable.

So in this match, Leicester City fought hard!

After a few games of rest, Leicester City went all out and the decisive battle began!

From the moment the referee whistled, Leicester City launched a fierce attack!

Although they were in a 4-4-2 formation in this game, they actually attacked like a 4-2-4!

Xia Xing and Mahrez were on both sides, and the two made great forward runs!

Kante and Drinkwater in the middle swept a large area, and this game was also fought hard!

Guys, you go up, we will defend!

Ranieri also knew that if Xia Xing and Mahrez both went up, the team's central defense would be insufficient and the possibility of losing the ball would be very high.

However, what Leicester City needed most in this game was a goal!

"You can lose the ball, but you have to score more goals!"

This is what Ranieri repeatedly told the players before the game.

The Blue Foxes also implemented it in this game.

Just as the game started, Benfica created an opportunity with a wing attack.

But in the end, Gaitan's shot hit the plane and failed to open the scoring.

But Leicester City doesn't care so much.

You attack yours, we attack ours!

Come on, hurt each other!

Leicester City's attack is more fierce, and they mainly attack from the right at the beginning!

Mahrez, who has been a little quiet during this period, broke out in this game!

Continuous passing, rushing directly to the edge of the penalty area!

A burst of shot, the ball went straight to the far corner!

The ball went in!

1-0!

Leicester City scored the first goal!

Excited Mahrez jumped high and punched hard!

Leicester City still has me!

I am also a world-class star!

After Leicester City scored, he soon ran into trouble.

Benfica made a series of passes in the midfield, and they controlled the ball very steadily.

This time, their pass was very smart, deliberately bypassing Kante and starting from the gap behind Xia Xing and Mahrez.

Finally, between Mahrez and right back Simpson, a passing gap was found.

The ball was passed to the middle!

Pizzi passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area!

Center forward Jonas headed the ball!

The ball went into the net!

1 to 1!

Benfica tied the score!

But Leicester City didn't care.

This game was originally a competition of goals, and losing the ball was not important, as long as more goals could be scored!

The Foxes continued to attack fiercely and were not affected by the loss of the ball.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Leicester City's attack was effective again.

Drinkwater successfully tackled in the middle and made a long pass directly!

Looking for Van Persie in the penalty area!

Van Persie headed the ball back!

Xia Xing rushed to catch up!

Without stopping the ball, he kicked and shot!

The ball went straight into the upper right corner of the goal!

2-1!

Leicester City scored another goal!

They were ahead again!

But before the end of the first half, Benfica also gained something.

Taking advantage of a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt, 1 Guedes poked the ball into the net in front of the goal!

2-2!

The score was tied again!

In the second half, Leicester City continued to attack!

Benfica appropriately contracted its defense and wanted to maintain its position.

But how could they withstand the attacking Leicester City?

In the 79th minute of the game, Benfica lost the ball just after replacing two substitutes.

Taking advantage of the fact that the new players were not yet stable, Leicester City pressed hard in the frontcourt!

Lindelof passed the ball to Samaris.

Samaris, who came on as a substitute, stopped the ball a little too much and was instantly intercepted by Xia Xing behind him!

After intercepting the ball, Xia Xing did not make too many adjustments and shot straight away!

Goalkeeper Cesar was not prepared at all!

The ball was fast and floating, and went straight into the net!

3 to 2!

Leicester City scored another goal!

Xia Xing scored twice!

At this time, Leicester City really had hope in their hands.

Benfica used up three substitutions and could only adjust the players on the field and change the formation to strengthen the attack.

But it was of no avail.

Ranieri reacted quickly and immediately used up the last substitution.

Mahrez, who had fought hard throughout the game, was replaced, and veteran Cambiasso came on to stabilize the situation.

Leicester City began to defend!

When Benfica's last long shot missed the goal, the referee blew the whistle!

"The game is over!

"3 to 2!

"Leicester City won the game!

"They won this game very hard and tenaciously!

"Benfica is great, they always stubbornly hold on to the score!

"But unfortunately, they still fell short!

"Because they lack a star player, such as Xia, a genius who can make the final decision!

"Xia scored two goals and made one assist in this game, and he is the absolute hero of the team's victory!

"With his outstanding performance, Leicester City achieved a reversal in the last round!

"They got the second place in the Champions League group!

"They qualified!

"Congratulations to the Foxes! ”
