Star Card System

Looking at Lingard in front of him, Xia Xing felt a little emotional.

Although he only played in the Manchester United youth team for more than a month, he has formed deep friendships with many of his teammates.

For example, Lingard in front of him.

He was the captain of the Manchester United youth team and helped the Manchester United youth team win the English FA Cup in the 2010-2011 season.

In the summer of 2012, he was called up to the Manchester United first team.

However, he had very few playing opportunities and spent most of his time in the youth team.

This summer, he left Manchester United and moved to various places with the youth team loan army.

The Championship is a very suitable place for him.

On the one hand, he allows the Manchester United coaching staff to observe his performance at close range. On the other hand, he is also an Englishman and prefers to stay in England.

Coming to Brighton on loan this summer, he became an important member of the team with his outstanding performance.

In less than half a season, he contributed 4 goals and 4 assists, and played a great role in the team's offensive and defensive system.

If he can help the team advance to the Premier League this season, then his path after returning to Manchester United next season will be even better.

They are now ranked fourth in the league, as they were at the same time last season, fighting for the two places for direct promotion.

At this moment, seeing the team trailing 0-3, he couldn't sit still and volunteered to play.

The head coach also agreed to his request.

Standing in the middle of the court, Lingard took a deep breath.

The ball was passed to his feet, and he made a long pass and went straight to the frontcourt!

The counterattack begins!

Several passes in succession are quite threatening.

In the 84th minute of the game, Lingard took the ball on the right.

Facing Drinkwater's pressing, Lingard accelerated his sprint!

Use your speed to get past Brother Drinking Water!

James helped defend, Lingard collided with his body and knocked James away!

At this time he has come to the right!

Decisive cross!

The ball goes straight to the center!

The strong Argentinian center Ulloa headed the goal!

The ball hit the net!

The ball went in!

3 to 1!

Ulloa, who scored, rushed into the net and ran back with the ball in his arms.

The Leicester City players looked at each other.

I thought the game was stable, but Brighton obviously did not admit defeat.

De Laet stepped forward and chatted with Drinkwater and James.

"Jesse is getting better and better now."

"Yes, the forward thrust just now was very decisive, and I didn't even guard against it."

"And his body became stronger and he just knocked me away."

"This boy has a future."

These three former Manchester United players have all played with Lingard and are old acquaintances. They are amazed by Lingard's progress.

The game continued and Lingard's offense continued.

At this stage, Leicester City players were a little tired and they began to retreat.

Brighton's offensive players are also a bit stuck.

Lingard, who came off the bench, was in good physical condition and sprinted frequently.

In the 89th minute of the game, Lingard once again rushed through the midfield and hit the goal with a long shot!

The ball hit the lintel!

Brighton missed another chance to change the score.

In the live broadcast room, the commentator felt a little regretful.

"Lingard was injured in this game, so he didn't start.

“It’s a shame to see how good he is now.

“If he can start, it’s hard to say what the outcome of this game will be.

"What a pity..."

A pity indeed.

Lingard almost scored from a long shot. Shakespeare on the sideline let out a sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death. If I score another one at this time, the game will be really hard to predict."

Pearson agreed: "Yes, after all, there are five minutes left in the game plus injury time, which is enough to score one more. But it is absolutely impossible for them to score two more."

"Speaking of which, Lingard was originally our favorite and we almost loaned him out, but Brighton beat him to it."

"But it's good. If he comes, Xia may not be able to come. Xia is much more important than him."

"Oh? I remember at the beginning of the season, someone seemed to say something like there was no need to xia. Who said that?"

"It's definitely not me!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"By the way, Ulloa is not bad, he is strong enough. If we succeed in reaching the Super League, we can consider poaching him to replenish the lineup."

"He is really good. Not only is he offensively powerful and physically strong, but he also frequently returns to defense and contributes a lot defensively."

"Well, he is really a good choice. We have to consider our plans in advance after successfully reaching the Super League."

"It makes sense...but then again, are you changing the topic you just talked about?"

"I don't!"

"Hahahaha! You are the hardest guy! Except for being the hardest, you are soft everywhere."

"It's okay, don't drive, okay..."

"I mean, if you are soft-hearted and good to the players, what are you thinking about?"

"hehe……"

In the third minute of stoppage time, Lingard passed the ball to Ulloa again, but under Morgan's squeeze, Ulloa headed the ball wide of the goal.

The referee's whistle sounded and the game was over!

This heavyweight contest ended with Leicester City winning.

On the sidelines of the court, Lingard took the initiative to hand over the jersey: "Xia."

"Jesse." Xia Xing hugged his former teammate in a friendly manner, "You performed great today. If you had started, our three points would have been on the line."

Lingard shook his head: "Don't say that, you are the best. The three assists are amazing. You have improved a lot compared to when you were in the Manchester United youth team."

"You too."

"Let's work together to help the team succeed in the Super League, and then return to Manchester United together to join hands in the Premier League!"

"OK!"

Looking at Lingard's determined eyes, Xia Xing was also full of expectations for the future.

The two left Manchester United together and fought in the English Championship.

Although it is not a top league, they both tried their best!

The road ahead is difficult, and you will gain something after overcoming all the difficulties!

After defeating Brighton, Leicester City continued to top the standings.

Now they are 7 points ahead of Burnley, the second place, and the possibility of promotion is getting bigger and bigger.

However, for Leicester City, they cannot take it lightly.

There is no weak team in the English Championship, this is an iron rule.

Even if they are 7 points ahead, it does not mean that they are much stronger than the team behind them.

For example, Millwall, which is very weak, almost made them fall.

And the weak team Sheffield Wednesday made them unable to get three points.

If you are not careful next time, you may get into trouble.

So Leicester City now needs to maintain a stable state and continue to grab points!

And in the 20th round of the English Championship a week later, their opponent is Burnley.

The direct competitor ranked second in the league.

This Burnley, it is no exaggeration to say, is the strongest opponent Leicester City has encountered this season.

If they win this game, they will lead by 10 points.

If they lose, the lead will only be 4 points.

The top position may be replaced at any time.

This game is of great significance to Leicester City...
