Star Card System

On November 30, Leicester City won a tough match.

On December 4, they faced Sheffield Wednesday in the 18th round of the English Championship.

This opponent is not strong, and is the type with no hope of promotion and no worries about relegation.

The team has no stars, and the fighting spirit is average, with a bit of a mixed feeling.

The goal of Leicester City in this game is naturally to fight for victory.

But unexpectedly, they ended up with a 0-0 draw in this game.

When the applause and cheers of the home team fans rang out at Hillsborough Stadium, the cheers of 40,000 fans made the Leicester City players a little confused.

In this game, they didn't win?

Not only did they not win, but they almost let the opponent score a goal.

If it hadn't hit the post, maybe Leicester City would have lost.

It shouldn't be.

In this game, James returned from injury and returned to the main lineup.

Dale, who was in good shape, also performed well.

But, he just couldn't score.

The commentator in the live broadcast room summed it up in one sentence.

"In a game without Xia, Leicester City failed to beat the opponent."

Even Shakespeare, who always liked Xia Xing very much, couldn't believe it.

"If Xia didn't play, the team wouldn't score?"

Pearson frowned: "Now the team relies too much on Xia's offensive ability, which is not a good thing."

Shakespeare: "Then we let Xia rotate?"

Pearson: "Nonsense! We don't want to be promoted?"

Shakespeare: "Then you say that relying too much on Xia is not a good thing?"

Pearson: "I mean, the team needs a new explosive point!"

Shakespeare: "But the existing players..."

The two looked at the court and were silent for a while.

After a long time, Pearson slowly said: "Let's see if we can dig him up this winter, the young man we have been paying attention to."

Shakespeare also came to spirits: "That's right! If he joins the team, he can definitely form an offensive combination with Xia Xing, plus Vardy, invincible."

Pearson took out his mobile phone: "I'll ask Steve, he must act as soon as possible..."

Three days later, on December 7, Leicester City ushered in a strong enemy.

This is the 19th round of the Championship, and the opponent is Brighton.

They were the fourth-placed team in the Championship last season, and they almost succeeded in the Premier League.

Facing such an opponent, Leicester City is under a lot of pressure.

Especially since they have stumbled in the last two games.

Although they won the game against Millwall, it was a narrow victory, and the team had two players sent off.

In the last game against a weak team, they attacked hard but failed, and finally had to draw.

Now facing the strong team Brighton, which was fourth in the league last season, Leicester City is under great pressure.

But unexpectedly, the process of the game made Leicester City fans ecstatic!

Just in the third minute of the game, Leicester City scored a goal!

The continuous passes in the midfield pulled Brighton's midfield and backcourt layout.

Drinkwater's midfield transition, Andy King received the ball!

Took two steps forward, attracted the defense, and suddenly knocked it sideways!

The ball was passed to the left, looking for Xia Xing!

There was no space in front of Xia Xing!

He could dribble the ball forward, but he didn't!

Because he saw the gap between the two central defenders of the opponent!

He kicked the ball decisively!

The ball passed between the two central defenders!

A straight pass to Vardy!

Vardy sprinted quickly and received the ball!

Entered the penalty area and pushed the ball into the far corner!

The ball went into the net!

1 to 0!

Just when Brighton was confused and hadn't reacted yet, Leicester City scored again!

In the 11th minute of the game, there was another attack from the left.

De Laet assisted and passed Xia Xing two consecutive two-on-ones!

Xia Xing passed the ball and passed the midfielder Andrews!

Continue to sprint!

Passed the ball at the bottom line!

The ball accurately found Chris Wood!

The ball was passed very comfortably!

Wood jumped high and headed the ball into the goal!

2 to 0!

Leicester City scored another goal!

It was wonderful!

Next, Leicester City was completely opened.

Attacking in the middle and attacking on the wing, Leicester City players fully exerted their personal characteristics.

Especially Dell, who played as a guest right midfielder, also performed well with his left foot.

The team led by two goals in the first half and changed sides in the second half.

In the 69th minute of the game, Xia Xing got the ball on the left again.

This time he dribbled past two people and suddenly cut inside!

Entered the penalty area!

Accelerated forward again!

There was space for a shot!

But Xia Xing did not shoot!

Knocked the ball across the middle of the penalty area!

Chris Wood shoveled the ball into the net!

The ball went in!

3-0!

The away fans cheered wildly!

Shakespeare on the sidelines clapped excitedly: "It's great! A big win is guaranteed! Xia is awesome!"

Pearson patted his partner on the shoulder: "Man, you told me before that Xia is already the absolute main force of the team."

Shakespeare nodded: "Yeah, you still disagree a little bit."

Pearson smiled: "I don't disagree. I just think he is not the absolute main force."

Shakespeare: "That's it? Still not the absolute main force?"

Pearson's eyes were firm: "It's not as simple as he is not the main force, he has long been our offensive core."

Shakespeare laughed and punched Pearson hard.

"You guy, hahahaha!"

Three passes, three assists, Xia Xing is the absolute offensive core of Leicester City today.

On the court, the ball is passed to his feet as much as possible, and he has gained the trust of his teammates.

Especially the strikers, they have a very good relationship with Xia Xing.

Just now, Xia Xing was tackled by the opponent, and Chris Wood and Vardy almost fought with the opponent.

Not to mention Drinkwater and De Laet in the Manchester United trio.

And the captain Morgan and the vice-captain Schmeichel also like Xia Xing.

In the current Leicester City lineup, Xia Xing is definitely one of the most popular players.

In the 75th minute of the game, Brighton replaced.

Player No. 35 came on as a substitute.

Looking at the opponent's players running up to the side of the court, Xia Xing was excited and greeted them.

"Jesse!"

"Xia!"

The two shook hands in a friendly manner.

Although they didn't talk for too long, it was obvious that they had a good relationship.

The commentator in the live broadcast room explained.

"The young man who came off the bench is called Jesse Lingard,

"He is also on loan from Manchester United's youth team,

"In Manchester United's youth team, he has a good relationship with Xia.

"He was injured in this game, but he was still sent to the field by the head coach.

"Manchester United's youth team has loaned out many players this summer,

"Lingard is the most watched player, no one else.

"His outstanding offensive ability makes Manchester United full of expectations for him.

"He is good at protecting the ball, passing, controlling the ball, and shooting.

"After coming to Brighton, he quickly became the main force of the team,

"If he hadn't been injured in the last game, I believe Brighton would not have been beaten like this by Leicester City today.

"Now that Lingard is on the court, will Brighton's situation change?

"Old partners from Manchester United's youth team, meet again today!"

(PS: In real history, Lingard was loaned to Birmingham this season before coming to Brighton. This is a fictitious adjustment, so please note.)
