Chapter 287 Golden Globe Awards Stage

In the third minute of injury time, Xia Xing decisively knocked down Ali who was dribbling forward in the midfield.

The referee blew the whistle!

The game is over!

In this difficult game, Leicester City narrowly won 2-1!

They successfully advanced to the next round of the FA Cup!

In this game, Xia Xing made one pass and one shot, and was the absolute hero of the team's victory!

Shakespeare on the sidelines smiled: "Xia is great! Even if he can beat Tottenham like this, it's amazing!"

Ranieri also smiled: "Not bad, not bad, Xia's FA Cup journey is promising."

Ranieri was very relaxed in this game because he didn't expect the result of the game that much.

As an old man who has been involved in football for many years, he knows the relationship between ambition and strength.

It is already a luxury for Leicester City to look forward to the league championship now, and it is also very difficult to expect to go further in the Champions League.

In this case, if you still stick to the domestic cup competition, it will definitely affect the team's main battlefield, and the gains will not outweigh the losses.

So he gave up strategically without any regrets.

In this relaxed state of mind, it feels great to see the team win.

After winning the away game against Tottenham, Ranieri gave the team a holiday, even for half a day.

It doesn't matter, it's just a substitute lineup anyway, it won't affect the key game, and it can also give rewards to the players.

But Xia Xing did not return with the team.

Neither did Ranieri.

The two took a plane and flew to Zurich.

Because tomorrow night, Zurich will usher in the annual major event of international football - the Golden Ball Awards Ceremony!

There is nothing to guess about the Golden Ball candidates at this awards ceremony.

In 2015, although Messi's Argentina lost in the Copa America final, the disappointment of the national team competition could not cover up the club's highlights.

2015 is still the year of Messi.

In 2015, Messi helped Barcelona win four championships, La Liga, Champions League, King's Cup, and Club World Cup.

At this time, Barcelona became the first team in history to complete the treble twice.

If Leicester City had not stubbornly snatched the European Super Cup, Barcelona might have continued to achieve the glory of five crowns.

And in terms of personal honors, Messi is unrivaled.

In the 2014-15 season, Messi was the top scorer of the Champions League and the assist king of the Champions League (10 goals and 6 assists).

He was also the La Liga Silver Boot (43 goals) and the La Liga assist king (18 times).

Throughout 2015, Messi played 53 games for Barcelona, scored 48 goals and completed 23 assists.

Such data and such honors made the Golden Ball Award lose suspense before the award was drawn.

On the award stage, Xia Xing looked at Messi on the stage with envy and gave him applause for blessing.

Ranieri next to him patted his shoulder gently and whispered: "Boy, one day you will stand there too."

Xia Xing nodded vigorously, his eyes full of expectation.

But soon, Ranieri laughed.

What I just said was a little flawed.

Xia Xing has been on that stage before, and now he is on it again.

"The winner of the 2015 Puskas Award is—xia!"

The big screen played Xia Xing's performance in the Europa League final last season.

Facing Napoli's defense, he passed five players and successfully scored, recreating Maradona's World Cup miracle.

This goal surpassed Messi and Brazilian player Wendel Lila and became the best goal of the year again!

Applause rang out, and Xia Xing walked onto the stage.

He saw Ranieri applauding vigorously in the audience, saw Messi's applause and smile, saw Ronaldo's nod and applause full of praise, and saw the cheers of blessings from the audience.

This is the second time he has stood on the top stage to receive an award in a month.

European Golden Boy Award, Puskas Award.

It feels great to get two big awards.

After walking off the stage, Xia Xing was still in a dream for a long time.

Puskas Award consecutive championships, this feeling is great.

I wonder how good it feels to defend the Golden Ball Award?

There is a regret today, that is, Xia Xing failed to enter the annual best 11 players of international football.

Neuer.

Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Ramos, Alves.

Iniesta, Modric, Pogba.

Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo.

Compared with these 11 people, Xia Xing's performance in the Europa League is still not good enough.

In fact, many fans are not convinced by this result. For example, everyone thinks that Xia Xing's strength and performance are at least not inferior to Pogba.

However, Pogba's stage is bigger and his performance is equally brilliant.

In the end, Xia Xing, who is less popular, failed to appear on the stage again.

Ranieri whispered in Xia Xing's ear: "When we achieve good results in the Champions League this season, you will definitely be in the best 11 next year!"

Xia Xing nodded vigorously!

Since you think the Europa League stage is not big enough, then I will show you my strength in the Champions League!

Also, win a Premier League title and show it to everyone!

Returning to England on January 12, Xia Xing and Ranieri soon prepared to play away again.

On January 14, Leicester City once again faced Tottenham in the 21st round of the Premier League.

It was also an away game, but today was different.

In the last cup match, Leicester City played almost all substitutes, but despite this, they still won the game 2-1.

And today, they played with all their main players!

By the way, Leicester City must win this game!

Facing league rivals and a lead of only five points, they must continue to widen the score gap!

There is good news. In the game that just ended, Arsenal was defeated by Chelsea 1-2. They have one less game and are three points behind Leicester City.

If Leicester City can win, then the six-point lead will be very good!

So from the first minute of this game, Leicester City played very actively!

Before this game, Leicester City had suffered four consecutive draws in the league.

Even so, today did not extinguish their passion for victory.

In the 12th minute of the game, Kane's burst outside the penalty area almost succeeded in scoring.

Schmeichel's world-class save kept the goal intact.

Soon, Leicester City returned the favor.

In the 17th minute of the game, Xia Xing dribbled the ball on the left!

He shook off two Tottenham defenders in a row!

A 45-degree cross!

This time Vardy's running position was a cover, and Xia Xing looked for Van Persie at the back of the penalty area!

The Dutch general jumped high and headed the ball!
