Chapter 25 The Watford Miracle
Both sides gained something in the first half, and the fierce confrontation continued in the second half.

However, the second half was more of a hand-to-hand fight, and neither side gained much.

In this game, Xia Xing sat in the fans' stands of the visiting team, and together with several teammates who also did not make the roster, cheered for his team in the stands.

At this moment, he truly felt the power of the British Championship.

After joining the Manchester United youth academy, he once went to Old Trafford to see the past and feel the charm of the Premier League.

The sense of power of the passionate collision is fascinating.

But at this moment, the league known as the most confrontational in the world really opened Xia Xing's eyes.

Is this the British Championship?
The fierce collision between the opponents, not only the body, but also the soul is colliding.

Konchesky was even smashed by the opponent's striker when he put the shovel just now, bleeding profusely and looking hideous.

But 2 minutes later, after the temporary hemostasis was completed, he ran back to the court and continued to fight.

Such a British Championship is definitely a battleground for men!
And after really feeling the British Championship, he also understood that Pearson was not optimistic about him.

In this kind of confrontation, I will indeed suffer a lot.

Even with technology, it is difficult to play it.

It seems that the enhancement of physical strength is imminent.

I hope Zidane's star card can greatly enhance his strength, and hope that the remaining few cards can continue to strengthen his body, otherwise it will be too difficult for him to gain a foothold in the British Championship.

In the 45 minutes of the second half, neither player had a good chance to score goals, and the final score was fixed at 2-1.

Leicester City won their first league victory of the season!

Although the process is not perfect, but the result is very good!
Xia Xing saw that the moment the referee blew the final whistle, Pearson smiled.

The team won the game and took another step towards the Premier League!
Leicester City only used two substitutions in this game, and many good players are on the bench.

It's not that Pearson doesn't like them, but Pearson's tactical arrangement.

Because the next game is very close, and there are two games a week, physical fitness must be arranged reasonably.

After all, there are a total of 24 teams in the English Championship, and a double cycle in a single season needs to play 46 games, which is very stressful.

Moreover, there are also competitions such as the League Cup and the FA Cup interspersed, which requires great physical fitness of the players.

On August 8, Leicester City won Middlesbrough.

On August 8, Leicester City ushered in the game again.

This time it is not a Championship match, but a League Cup match.

In English football, the League Cup has a low status.

Not only are they lower than their respective leagues, but they are also overwhelmed by the historic FA Cup.

Many Premier League teams just send young players to fight, which is really not a serious matter.

However, due to the fierce competition in the Premier League in recent years, in order to boost morale, some mid-range teams will also attach great importance to the League Cup.

For the low-level leagues, the League Cup and the FA Cup are hotbeds for creating miracles of defeating the strong with the weak.

If you can draw with the super strong team, maybe you can still win a good ticket income.

So for Leicester City, the League Cup should go as far as possible.

In this game, Pearson sent most of the rotation players to rest the main players as much as possible.

For him, the goal of this season is not to upset the cup, but to surpass.

So he didn't care that much about this type of cup match.

In this game, many substitute players came on the stage, including last season's starting striker combination Nugent and Konokite.

These two were the team's first and second scorers last season.

Leicester City's opponent in the first round of the Carabao Cup is Wycombe Wanderers.

A League Two team.

For Leicester City, winning them is not a problem at all.

However, the process of this game was much more difficult than Pearson imagined.

Not long after the start of the game, the Wycombe Wanderers succeeded in stealing the chicken.

An inconspicuous counterattack, a long-range shot with no space for the ball to hit the world wave?

1 is better than 0!

Wycombe is ahead of Wanderers!

The visiting fans cheered wildly!
The King Power Stadium became a stage for fans of the visiting team to explode in red!

But soon, Leicester City also responded.

It's also a midfielder with the ball, and it's also a long-range shot. Andy King's 32-meter arc ball goes straight into the net!

1 is better than 1!

Leicester City equalized the score!
The next step is to score another goal and lead as soon as possible!

But the goal came too late.

After more than 80 minutes of onslaught, it was not until the 85th minute of the game that striker Nugent counterattacked and scored a goal.

2 is better than 1!

Leicester City finally overtook the score!
The fans in the stands applauded thunderously!

On the sidelines of the court, Shakespeare breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally leading, this game is really..."

that's terrible.

The Leicester City player with the worst performance in today's game should be striker Konokite.

He can't count on one hand the opportunities he wasted by himself.

If Pearson hadn't cherished his talent and hard work, I'm afraid he would have been replaced long ago.

With just one single chance, Konokite was sent flying again.

The coaching staff on the sidelines sighed.

Xia Xing, who was sitting on the bench, shook his head again and again.

It stands to reason that the second shooter in the team last season, how could it not work this season?
Drinkwater, who was sitting next to him, whispered to Xia Xing: "Xia, I believe in fate more and more now."

Xia Xing: "Huh? Why?"

Drinkwater: "Because of Konokite."

Xia Xing: "What happened to him?"

Drinkwater: "From the last shot last season, he completely kicked his luck away."

Xia Xing was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized: "That game you are talking about?"

Drinkwater nodded heavily, and he himself did not want to go on.

Because that game has been a pain for Leicester City players so far.

A Championship game, which was repeatedly mentioned by countless fans and became a good talk, is the famous "Watford Miracle".

On May 2013, 5, Leicester City played against Watford in the second round of the semi-finals of the Championship play-offs.

At that time, the score on the field was Leicester City leading 2-1, and the aggregate score was 2-2.

If it ends according to this score, Leicester City will advance to the play-off final with an away goal advantage, only one step away from the Premier League.

And at the last moment of stoppage time, Leicester City won an extremely valuable penalty.

As long as the goal is scored, Leicester City will win.

But the penalty was missed.

The Watford player quickly cleared the siege with a big foot, and the ball flew across the half.

With a series of cooperation, Watford's No. 9 player Deeney volleyed and scored.

In an instant, the people of Watford cheered wildly, and Leicester City fell from heaven to hell.

That game, or the penalty kick that was not scored, became the most painful moment of Leicester City's failure to surpass last season.

And the striker who missed the penalty kick was none other than Konokite...
