Chapter 19 Lost the courage to win...

After finishing the game on July 7, all members of Leicester City gathered again on the afternoon of the 23th.

In the tactical analysis room, the coaching staff carefully analyzed the previous game.

For every player, every position, every offense and defense, there are targeted comments.

Xia Xing listened carefully, meticulously.

For him who has not received top professional youth training, every class is a great harvest.

Especially when analyzing himself, Pearson personally drew a few offensive lines on the electronic screen.

And discuss and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of several routes.

Xia Xing memorized carefully and benefited a lot.

Assistant coach Shakespeare noticed that when analyzing this part, Pearson explained it very carefully and took more time.

It seems that although he said he didn't like Xia Xing, he definitely did his best to cultivate Xia Xing.

And Xia Xing did not shy away from showing his timidity, asking questions boldly, and communicating with the coaching staff.

The one-afternoon class was very fruitful.

After the training, Vardy secretly said to Xia Xing: "Man, before you came, I always thought that I was the only one who didn't understand the tactics, vision, etc., but you didn't understand either, haha."

Xia Xing: "The youth training I received in Huaguo is completely different from here. I'm just a noob..."

Vardy: "Don't say that, I have played in low-level leagues for many years. At your age, I not only don't understand tactics, but also can't match your excellent skills. You are already great, come on."

Vardy patted Xia Xing on the shoulder encouragingly, Xia Xing felt very warm in his heart.

In this team, it is true that only he and Vardy have not received top-level youth training since childhood.

Vardy is still playing in the lower leagues in his 20s, and he is not even considered professional football.

But even so, he still relied on diligence and hard work to get to the present step by step.

Last summer, Leicester City spent 100 million euros to sign Vardy, which has actually created a miracle.

In this team, Vardy is not the absolute main force, scoring 4 goals in a season, this kind of efficiency is not high.

But he is extremely fast, can enrich the team's style of play, attract defense, and has important tactical significance.

It is more appropriate to describe Vardy as a surprise soldier than to describe Xia Xing.

In this team, Xia Xing has a good relationship with everyone.

He has a good relationship with Morgan, which has something to do with Morgan's captain status. He takes good care of every newcomer who joins the team.

A good relationship with the former Manchester United trio is naturally related to Manchester United's attributes.

And a good relationship with Vardy is more of a feeling of sympathy.

After tactical analysis and training, Xia Xing's understanding of the game has gone a step further.

As an attacking midfielder, he has higher requirements for vision.

The striker only needs to pay attention to the passes of his teammates and make timely moves.

But midfielders must pay close attention to the movements of their teammates and opponents and make predictions.

And these are exactly what Xia Xing lacks most at present.

The improvement of vision and running position has a long way to go.

On the physical level, the improvement of strength is also very important.

Xia Xing strengthens his body in the gym, but it doesn't happen in a day.

Now he just feels that time is not enough.

After four days of playing York City, Leicester City ushered in a new opponent again.

Their second friendly opponent is Monaco from Ligue [-].

Oh no, it's Ligue [-].

As the champion of Ligue [-] last season, Monaco has been promoted to Ligue [-] and has become a top five league team this season.

For them, the first season of returning to Ligue [-] is not as simple as relegation.

Their goal is to win the championship!

That's right, their goal is to win the championship!

Not long after this summer started, they took the lead in spending [-] million.

Atletico Madrid striker Falcao was introduced for 6000 million euros, and Porto genius James Rodriguez was bought for 4500 million euros.

These two transactions alone instantly climbed to the list of the top ten transfers in the summer window.

This is not over yet.

The young talents Moutinho and Fabinho dug from the Portuguese Super League, Carvalho who came from Real Madrid on a free transfer, Abidal who came on a free transfer from Barcelona, ​​and the 30-year-old French defensive champion Toulalan...

These dazzling names made Monaco's main lineup instantly star-studded.

Not only that, Monaco's young stars are also extremely talented.

Carrasco and Kurzawa, who were promoted from the youth team last season, have conquered Ligue [-] with their left wing combination, and will make their debut in Ligue [-] in the new season.

Facing such a powerful team, even a championship team in the five major leagues, one can imagine the pressure on Leicester City.

From the first minute of the game, Monaco was firmly in control of the game.

The continuous passing and cooperation in the midfield is dazzling.

With 14 consecutive passes in the opening game, Leicester City couldn't even steal the ball!
The ball fell to Ronaldo's feet.

Facing the two defensive players in the midfield, Ronaldo made a slight adjustment, suddenly changed direction to pull the ball, and quickly dunked!
Both defenders were fooled!
Get out of the way of the pass angle!
A diagonal long pass goes straight to the penalty area!
Candidate Farr eats Konchesky, jumps high, and hits the goal with a header!
The ball crashed into the net!

1 is better than 0!

Just 2 minutes into the opening, Monaco scored easily.

In the 7th minute, it was Monaco's left attack again.

This time the ball was at the feet of Carrasco.

This Belgian genius seems to be dancing under his feet, with an excellent combination of speed and skill!

Take the ball to tear through the wing defense and pass!
Riviere from the far end hits the goal with a header!
The ball hit the goal post hard and bounced into the net!

2 is better than 0!

The ball went in again!

In less than 10 minutes, Monaco scored two goals in a row!
In the face of Monaco's attack, Leicester City's defense seemed to be pierced.

Pearson's face on the sidelines was very ugly.

"Because this is a friendly match, we can't fight too fiercely. This is the requirement before the Monaco match. But even if we compete in skills, we won't be so far behind..."

Shakespeare comforted him: "Although they are newly promoted, the team spends a lot of money and already has the strength to compete for the championship. We are only the British Championship team, and the strength is indeed quite different."

"Um……"

Pearson squinted and looked at the court.

He wanted to make some adjustments, but there was nothing he could do.

How can I adjust it?

Now some of the most skilled players on the team are on the court.

But their skills are good, and they are only at the British Championship level.

Dell and James are good at dribbling, they are sharp knives on the wing, but their cooperation is too poor.

Andy King and Drinkwater have excellent skills in the team, but they are far behind their opponents.

Not to mention Ronaldo with 4500 million euros, even Moutinho with 2500 million euros can't compare.

The difference in strength between the two teams is too great.

This team really lacks some technical content.

But think about it, after all, they are just the British Championship team, how can it be possible to have such excellent skills?
Facing such a powerful opponent, some Leicester City players have even lost the courage to win...
