Chapter 35 Reunion of old friends!
On September 9, the King Power Stadium ushered in their sixth league opponent of the season.

Wigan Athletic.

Since the start of the game, Leicester City has ushered in a real strong enemy.

As a relegated team from the Premier League last season, Wigan Athletic is very strong.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Regardless of the team's strength, worth or experience, Wigan Athletic is much better than Leicester City.

After the previous few games, Wigan Athletic, like Leicester City, won five consecutive league victories.

This season, they look forward to returning to the Premier League even more than Leicester City.

After all, the feeling of going downhill is not good.

Although they lost many good players this summer and the overall strength of the team has dropped by a notch, the overall framework is still there.

The main goalkeeper Carson is the core of Wigan Athletic's defense.

They also brought in young talent Nick Powell on loan from Manchester United - the Red Devils' talented midfielder.

At the King Power Stadium, Xia Xing and Powell met.

"Xia!"

"Nick!"

The two embraced warmly.

In the Manchester United youth team last season, the two got along for a while, and the relationship was very good.

Powell is also a technical player. He often chats with Xia Xing about his playing skills and has a good relationship.

Moreover, the two are both midfielders and have more common language.

However, compared with Xia Xing, Powell is highly anticipated at Manchester United.

Last summer, the 18-year-old Powell was poached by Manchester United from the Crewe Club and spent 750 million euros, which was a lot of money.

After his debut in the first team, the first few games have been good.

But as time went by, his chances of playing became less and less.

At the end of the season, I simply went to the youth team to play.

In the summer of this year, Manchester United simply loaned him to the British Championship to practice.

Among the players on loan in this wave is Xia Xing.

Meeting here today, the two seem to have some special feelings.

Maybe it's sympathy?
Maybe it's sympathy?
Neither seem to be exact, but both seem to be somewhat close.

"Xia, I've been following Leicester City's games. You've been doing really well recently."

"Just luck."

"Haha, you are still so low-key. I found that you have improved a lot. It seems that it is right to play more games on loan."

"Well, that's true. Your recent performance is also very good. I think you have become the core of Wigan Athletic's midfield."

"It's just a mercenary on loan, it's not that exaggerated. Play a good season, and we will return to Manchester United together next summer!"

Looking at the expectant Powell, Xia Xing didn't reply.

Let your future self decide what the future holds.

Now, I just want to play every game seriously!
Both sides are ready, the referee's whistle sounds, and the game begins!
Wigan Athletic played a 4-5-1 formation in this game. They did not rush to attack at the beginning of the game, but controlled it in the midfield.

Although there is only one striker in Fortiny, Wigan Athletic's midfielders are very attacking.

Especially Powell.

At Manchester United, his style of play is not mature enough.

But here, his well-rounded style fits well.

His strong body prevents him from being disadvantaged in the confrontation; his excellent offensive and defensive technical characteristics also allow him to wander frequently in the midfield.

Defending, stealing, attacking, shooting, he seems to be omnipotent.

In the 5th minute of the game, he swayed away from Andy King and shot out of the goal with a long shot.

It made goalkeeper Schmeichel break out in a cold sweat.

In the 12th minute of the game, he made another wonderful through pass, and the ball accurately found Fortiny.

Morgan knocked Fortiney away so hard that his shot failed to deliver power.

Otherwise it is really dangerous.

On the sidelines of the court, Shakespeare was speechless: "This kid is really amazing. He deserves to be the young talent that Manchester United focuses on training."

Pearson curled his lips: "Manchester United has a lot of talents, and we still have four in the team. If he is really strong enough, then he cannot be loaned out. Now that he has come to the British Championship, he is at the level of the British Championship."

Shakespeare: "That makes sense..."

Although Pearson's words are a bit rough, and even a little unfriendly to the former Manchester United players in the team, they are not true at all.

Powell's technology is very comprehensive and seems to have no shortcomings, but there are no particularly outstanding strengths.

In Leicester City, everyone may not be as comprehensive as him, but he is distinctive enough!
In the 17th minute of the game, Leicester City once again stopped Wigan Athletic's attack.

Konchesky made a diagonal pass to the left, and Draet sprinted with the ball!
Leicester City's counterattack is coming!
Wigan Athletic's midfielder Perch grabs it!
Draet hits the middle!

Drinkwater passed the ball forward without stopping!
The ball landed at Xia Xing's feet!

Facing the defender, Xia Xing flicked his ankle lightly!
The ball went over the head of the opposing player!
Draget, who was assisted behind him, has rushed up!
Catch the ball, long pass to the far end of the penalty area!

Matthew James sprints fast!
Without hesitation, shoot in the air!
The ball slammed into the net hard!
1 is better than 0!

The ball is in!
"Leicester City played a fantastic counter-attack!

"The goal only took four passes!
"After the continuous pass from the left, De Laet's long pass finds James accurately!

"The last shot was simply beautiful!
"Excellent!
"It is worth mentioning that the four Leicester City players involved in this goal,
"They all wore Manchester United shirts once!

"It was a fantastic collaboration between former Manchester United team-mates!"

Wigan Athletic started with a fierce attack, but they did not expect that Leicester City would take the lead.

Next, Wigan Athletic went on the offensive and wanted to score.

But until the end of the first half, they failed to get what they wanted.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and the two sides still confronted each other fiercely.

The two sides focused on fighting in the midfield, and sparkling body collisions were staged all the time.

In the 78th minute of the game, the ball bounced in the middle.

Drinkwater and opposing midfielder Watson took off at the same time, but neither could get the ball.

At this time the ball bounced to Xia Xing on the left!

Xia Xing quickly followed up and stopped the ball steadily!
At this moment, Wigan Athletic's midfielder Perch rushed up fiercely!
This is obviously aimed at people!
Before this game, during the tactical analysis before Wigan Athletic, Powell described Xia Xing's technical characteristics.

After all, the two played football for a while, and Xia Xing has performed well in the past few games, and has become a key target for the opponent.

"Xia's skills are excellent, especially his dribbling and dribbling abilities. However, his body and balance are too poor, and his strength is too weak. If we meet him, just get on the body and we can definitely knock him away!"

Even if the personal relationship is good, but the two armies confront each other, there is absolutely no mercy.

Wigan Athletic players took Powell's advice seriously.

However, in this game, Xia Xing has been cooperating on the left, and there are not many opportunities to advance with the ball.

On the contrary, the left-back De Laet behind him is more active.

Now that Xia Xing took the ball, Perch remembered Powell's suggestion, and he didn't hesitate!
Rush towards Xia Xing violently!
I hit you flying!
